"The regular buyer, is it this company?"
"Yes, this company is registered in the Falling Star Kingdom, established seven years ago, and has dealings with many noble families within the Count Territory. It is rumored to be backed by a noble called Count Hall."
"Count Hall? The sa Count Hall ntioned by Gicod?"
Charlotte sat up straight.
"If there isn’t soone with the sa na, then yes, I’m afraid so. However... according to my investigations, there is no noble nad Count Hall in Falling Star Kingdom."
Sebastian said.
Charlotte drained her glass of milk in one gulp and smiled,
"It might not necessarily be in the Falling Star Kingdom, let alone a human noble. Have you forgotten what Gicod said before?"
Sebastian’s heart stirred slightly,
"What do you an?"
Charlotte’s eyelids drooped slightly,
"The Blood Count is also a count, and I have already consulted the Book of Dead Spirits. Its previous owner was honored with the title ’Hall.’"
...
"Lord Hall, has the Chamber of Comrce’s work recently been going well?"
Within the black curtain, several blurred figures stood proud, their crimson eyes flickering in and out of the shadows.
And at this mont, all the figures’ gazes were focused on the tallest one among them.
"Business as usual,"
After a mont of silence, the tallest figure spoke with a deep voice.
"But I’ve heard there was a problem at the workshop, and furthermore... it seems you took on a mission as a rcenary for the Third Prince and even failed."
The leading figure spoke discontentedly.
As he spoke, his crimson gaze once again fell upon the tall figure,
"Lord Hall, I think I need to reiterate once again that we do indeed want to control the Castel Territory, but... this does not an that Count Castel must be killed."
"Win her over, control her, dominate her... When necessary, she can even be transford into one of our descendants and controlled, propped up as a puppet. That is the path best suited for us."
"You shouldn’t have taken the Third Prince’s mission as a rcenary. It could very likely arouse Count Castel’s suspicions, and the mishap at the workshop... might just be related to this."
"The day of the feast at the Count Mansion is nearly upon us, Lord Hall, I do not wish to see any more mishaps in our plans going forward."
"Alright, let’s end it here for today. If needed, we shall gather again."
The blurred figure finished speaking and faded away one after the other.
The tallest figure remained silent for a mont, then departed as well.
The scene flickered softly as the middle-aged knight Rahael returned to reality.
The mont he ca to his senses, the Bloodline girl Agnes quickly jumped over,
"How did it go? What information did they discuss today?"
Rahael scratched his head, his face full of conflict,
"Miss, I feel like I really can’t keep this up much longer, I’m utterly clueless, and sooner or later they’re going to notice sothing’s wrong."
Agnes pursed her lips,
"Don’t rush! If anything happens, we can just run away! Now, tell , what did they discuss today?"
"They asked about the Chamber of Comrce again, but... how would I know anything about that. Following your orders, I continued to respond that everything was normal as a way to bluff them."
"Beyond that, they brought up the workshop and ntioned Count Castel, it seems they want to bring Count Castel under their control."
Rahael pondered, then said.
As he spoke, he asked,
"Miss, what is this workshop they ntioned?"
Agnes spread her hands,
"How would I know? I’m not familiar with them either."
