Tome of Blood

Chapter 417 -72- Kidnapping

The night passed quickly.

The ancestral recognition ceremony of Roman Sword has finally arrived.

Early in the morning, the hotel where Charlotte stayed was busy. The waiters and maids were in a hurry, preparing for the arrival of the guests.

This is the best hotel in Roang City, and most of the people living here are nobles who participated in today's ceremony.

Charlotte was up early, too.

However, instead of wearing the aristocratic dress that she usually attends the ceremony, she changed into a maid outfit that is common in aristocratic families. Even her appearance was concealed by Nice's magic, and she became much more ordinary.

She is the distinguished guest at today's ceremony. According to Yourst, not only will the distinguished guests be picked up by a special carriage, but the seats are also at the most eye-catching position on the viewing platform, close to the main seats, which can be called the focus of the audience.

Not only that, it is said that the VIP seats are even protected by solidified magic barriers set up by legendary mages. They may not be able to withstand the real legend, but under the legend, there is no way to turn up the storm.

Although Charlotte doesn't care much about the so-called magic barrier when using the divine power of blood, the possibility of identity exposure will also increase.

If you really attended the ceremony, the difficulty of switching identities will increase a lot.

Therefore, after in-depth communication with Yourst, the two decided not to go to the VIP table at all, but to drop their bags directly when they set off at the hotel.

After looking at herself in the mirror and confirming that Sebastian would not be able to recognize her identity, Charlotte nodded in satisfaction.

Then, she turned her head and looked at another "Charlotte".

Today's "Charlotte" is quite beautiful.

"She" is wearing an exquisite light blue dress, the color is like the sky, dotted with fairy-style starry sky patterns, gorgeous and bright, giving people a feeling of tranquility and dream, highlighting the young girl's figure At the same time, it reveals a hint of maturity that is about to bloom.

However, "Charlotte"'s expression is not so natural.

Although trying to maintain elegance and restraint as much as possible, the slightly twisted body still shows that "she" is quite uncomfortable to wear this outfit.

Especially when "she" glanced at the maid Shirley who picked up the perfume and sprayed it around, her expression was quite stiff.

"Charlotte" is naturally Albrecht in disguise.

Not to mention, this guy's transformation magic is really not covered, even Charlotte herself, without using the divine power of blood, can't tell whether he is real or fake.

It's just that Albrecht's expression is really awkward, and he looks disgusted at the dress on his body.

Charlotte felt a little funny, as if seeing herself who had just traveled through.

"Be natural, Your Excellency Earl of Castel, you are the lord of the Northland, a noble lady who has been trained in orthodox etiquette."

Charlotte laughed.

"Charlotte"'s expression became even more rigid.

"She" pulled out an unnatural smile, and said somewhat depressedly:

"Xia...Master Charlotte, there is no need to change the clothes into real ones, right? There are also perfumes... these things, I can just use magic to transform them."

"This can't be done. It's a full set of acting. After all, the VIP seats are equipped with legendary-level magic. It's just that the transfigured body is okay. If even the costumes are transfigured, there is still a risk of being seen through."

Charlotte tilted her head and smiled.

Albrecht: ...

humiliation……

What a humiliation!

He is the third dark apostle, a high-level executive of the Gorefiend Cult, a legendary blood descendant who would shake his feet in the New Moon Kingdom, and he has to wear women's clothing!

"What? Are you unhappy?"

Charlotte glanced at him and said with a smile.

Albrecht froze.

He quickly stopped his thoughts and squeezed out a somewhat difficult smile:

"How...how could it be? Even if I am not used to it, since it is your order, I will definitely work hard to complete it..."

"Well, that's right, and... what did you call me just now?"

"Xia...no, Miss Maid."

"Well, that's not bad."

After training Albrecht in a few words, Charlotte looked at the time:

"It's almost time, let's go downstairs."

After packing up their things, the group came to the VIP reception room in the hotel lobby.

Yurst is already here waiting.

Seeing Albrecht, his eyes lit up, and there was a flash of surprise.

When he came to "Charlotte", he greeted slightly and said with a smile:

"Your Excellency, Count Castel, you are so beautiful today."

As he spoke, he looked around and asked in a low voice:

"However... what about the substitute you mentioned?"

Looking at Yurst who was approaching, Albrecht frowned, and a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes.

"Stay away from me, the rose-scented perfume on your body smells to me."

He was cold and authentic, and even directly used his original voice.

Yurst froze immediately and jumped two meters away:

"Male...man?!"

Charlotte, who was dressed as a maid, couldn't help laughing when she saw Yurst who was taken aback.

She cleared her throat slightly, and said in her original voice:

"Your Excellency, I'm here, that's my substitute."

Ulster's eyes widened immediately.

He looked carefully at Charlotte, then at Albrecht, rubbed his eyes and looked at it for a while, and even directly used the blood-born's spiritual sense to investigate, but he didn't find any loopholes for a long time.

"Excellent, Your Excellency Castel, where did you find such a professional substitute?"

He circled around Albrecht, amazed.

Then, he frowned again:

"That's the voice...it sounds familiar."

Albrecht immediately kept silent and looked away.

Charlotte smiled and exhorted:

"When I went to the ceremony site, remember to change the voice to mine."

Albrecht paused and nodded.

Seeing that the double didn't want to reveal his identity, Yurst didn't care either.

With such superb illusion magic, I am afraid that he is a senior magician, and his strength may not be weak.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glanced at Charlotte.

Being able to make a powerful magician disguise himself as a woman, the young earl's heritage is indeed profound.

However, considering that the adult was behind Castel, Yurst suddenly felt that all this was normal.

"Your Excellency Castel, for a moment... we will split into two groups. Your substitute will take the royal carriage to the ceremony site, while you and I will go to the square as on-site staff. At that time, someone will pick you up , take you directly to the underground darkroom where you participated in the ceremony."

Yurst said.

Charlotte nodded slightly:

"I understand. I will act with you. As for my substitute, my maid Eudocia will accompany you."

"O...Eodocia?"

Yurst froze for a moment.

He looked up, only to find the black dragon maid hiding in the darkness, her eyes widened immediately:

"Lord Eudocia?!"

He was no stranger to Eudocia, after all... he and Sebas had fought together in Baron Legris back then.

Recognizing Eudocia's identity at this moment, Yurst's expression became even more exciting.

Especially after thinking about what Charlotte said just now...

Eudocia... turned out to be Earl Castel's maid!

True Ancestor on top!

Didn't that black dragon surrender to the True Ancestor?

How did you become Lord Castel's maid?

What is the relationship between His Excellency Castel and His Majesty the True Ancestor?

It has to be said that at this moment, Yurst felt a little sour for no reason.

Since he became the blood family member of True Ancestor Mian, he has helped True Ancestor Mian find seeds within the Nass clan, inquired about information, and ran back and forth to do such and such things for True Ancestor Mian, but he Never been treated like this before!

Although I know that Earl Castel is the representative of the True Ancestor, but...is this too pampering?

Yurst had to admit.

At this moment, he felt more or less envious and jealous.

Looking at Charlotte with complicated eyes, Yurst sighed in his heart:

Compared with two thousand years ago, His Majesty the True Ancestor not only has a much gentler personality, but also seems to have become more generous.

Even the tamed dragons will be given to subordinates!

This is a black dragon!

A real black dragon!

Not those subspecies with only dragonborn blood!

I really don't know when he, Yurst, can get such treatment...

Looking at Ulster's somewhat complicated gaze, Charlotte's heart moved slightly, guessing to some extent that he might have misunderstood.

She smiled slightly and said:

"Your Excellency Yurst, the eyes of the gods are always watching everything. Those who work hard will not be treated badly."

After hearing what Charlotte said, Yurst froze slightly, his expression a little embarrassed.

He and Charlotte looked at each other, took a deep breath, and put on an elegant and decent smile again:

"I see, Mr. Castel, thank you for your reminder."

At this moment, the people in the reception room were knocked lightly, and the voice of the hotel messenger came in from outside the door:

"Lord Earl of Ulster, Lord Earl of Castel, the royal carriage is here."

Yurst's heart moved, and he said with a smile:

"Here they are, Monsieur Castel, let us go."

A group of people left the reception hall and came to the hotel gate, only to see two gorgeous and beautiful carriages parked in front of the gate, with the lilac coat of arms of the Roman family inlaid on the side.

The first one was bigger, more luxurious, and even equipped with a gorgeous and complicated protective circle.

The second is slightly smaller, but also refined and stylish.

In front of the carriage, stood the fully armed royal knights. After seeing Yurst and "Charlotte" and others, they hurriedly saluted:

"Lord Earl of Ulster, Lord Earl of Castel."

Yurst nodded slightly.

He carefully looked at the leading knight and frowned slightly:

"Huh? Today... isn't Sir Sheldon leading the team?"

After listening to Yurst's words, the royal knight respectfully said:

"Lord Earl, there are quite a lot of civilians who came to watch the ceremony in the square today. Lord Sheldon has been transferred to assist, so I will lead the team."

"What's your name? Why haven't I seen you?"

Yurst frowned.

The royal knight took out a badge from his arms and presented it with both hands:

"Your Earl, my name is Albert, and I was transferred to the Royal Knights not long ago."

Yurst took the badge and injected a touch of magic power. The badge shimmered, which was the same as the opponent's magic power.

He nodded and nodded slightly:

"Okay, identity is fine."

With that said, Yurst turned around, looked at "Charlotte", and said with a smile:

"Your Excellency, this is the VIP reception carriage of the Roman royal family. Its biggest feature is that it is equipped with an extraordinary sound-proof array and an extraordinary array. Not only can it protect privacy well, it is said that it can even resist a blow from a legendary strongman." ...Only true VIPs are eligible to ride."

"Today's ceremony, only you and the Duke of Conte are eligible to be received."

"Charlotte" looked at the gorgeous carriage and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"She" glanced at Charlotte who was dressed as a maid, and said with magic voice:

"Lord Charlotte, are you sure you really want me to take this carriage to attend the ceremony on your behalf?"

Charlotte glanced at him, and also said with the little spell of magic sound transmission she learned from Nice:

"Why, is there any problem for you?"

"Charlotte" froze for a moment, then shook her head slightly:

"I have no problem, as long as you have no problem."

"Me? Of course I have no problem. It's just a ceremony. You just have to do what I say and don't affect my plan."

Charlotte said via voice transmission.

"Charlotte" seemed to realize something, and nodded:

"Then I'm fine."

Yurst: ...

"Both, is it alright? Wait a little longer, the knights will notice the problem after a while. The Roman royal family is very taboo about such impostors."

Yurst whispered.

Charlotte and Albrecht had just finished communicating. She gave Albrecht a look, and Albrecht nodded slightly. Then, imitating Charlotte's usual appearance, she stepped gracefully and boarded the carriage.

Eudocia accompanied her to the left and right, and wanted to follow, but was stopped by the royal knights:

"Sorry, miss, only invited nobles can ride in the royal family's VIP carriage, and the entourage can only ride in the rear one."

Eudocia gave him a cold look.

After being swept by her, the royal knight felt as if he was being targeted by a terrifying beast, his scalp became numb and his hair stood on end.

He clenched his weapon almost subconsciously, and took a step back, which caused several other knights to also grimace, and clenched their weapons.

Until Urst interrupted:

"Lord Eudocia!"

Eudocia looked at him, and Urst sighed and explained:

"Your Excellency Eudocia, this is also the old rule of the Roman royal family, but don't worry, the Roman Square is next to it, and the carriage will arrive there in three to five minutes."

Then, he explained to the Royal Knights:

"Your Excellency Eudocia is His Excellency Castel's personal maid and also a bodyguard, um...you can be considered a knight."

The royal knights looked at each other, relaxed again, and saluted Eudocia:

"Miss Knight, please forgive me."

Eudocia snorted coldly and boarded the second carriage.

The royal knights breathed a sigh of relief, saluted Jurst to express their gratitude, and then escorted the two carriages away.

Seeing two carriages passing the corner and entering the Roman Square where the ceremony was held, Julst clicked his tongue:

"Today's knights are so strict."

After finishing speaking, he smiled slightly and said to Charlotte:

"Okay, Mr. Castel, your substitute has successfully sneaked in. Next, it's up to us."

"Our carriage is also ready, but for convenience, we have to go through the back door."

Charlotte nodded.

She withdrew her gaze from looking at the royal carriage, and then picked up Nis who was about to run away quietly.

"Meow! Nice suddenly remembered that there are other things to do! Nice don't go!"

A fat black cat shouted hoarsely while struggling.

"Huh? Is His Excellency Nicholas going too?"

Looking at the black cat lifted up by the nape of the neck by Charlotte, Urst raised his eyebrows.

"His magic is good, maybe useful."

Charlotte was succinct and succinct.

Under Urst's schadenfreude gaze, Charlotte forcibly took Nice into Urst's carriage, and then drove towards Roman Square from another direction.

At the same time, the VIP carriage escorted by the royal knights also arrived near the viewing platform...

However, in the VIP carriage, "Charlotte" is not the only passenger.

"Hehehe, Your Excellency Earl, if you don't want your pretty little face to be scratched, or even if I accidentally cut your delicate throat under tension... please be obedient and obedient."

On the carriage.

A masked man in a black robe put a sharp dagger on "Charlotte"'s snow-white neck, and laughed hoarsely.

"Charlotte" blinked.

"She" looked at the masked mage on the other side who was wearing a magic robe and whose aura was not too weak, and then looked at the masked mage in front of him who was threatening herself with a dagger. His strength should be about the same as that of a mage at the level of Chi Yang, lightly He whistled lightly, and then asked in Charlotte's voice with some curiosity and little expectation:

"Is this...kidnapping?"
