Agnes fell silent.
After a while, she said with desolation,
"Because Count Hall once ntioned that if their plan went well, they could establish themselves firmly in the human world and even obtain a title of nobility under the sunlight..."
"I want a title. I want to return to the human world and regain my title!"
"Regain your title?"
Charlotte’s face showed surprise.
Agnes gave her a look and sneered,
"At this point, why pretend? When you heard the na Willert, you should have known, right? My family was the one your Castel ruined!"
Charlotte: ...
Ruined by Castel?
Heavens, she really didn’t know!
Not to ntion that Agnes beca a Bloodline eighteen years ago, by that ti, the crossed Charlotte, hadn’t even been born, let alone the original person.
Even in the archives of the Castel Manor’s library, there was no ntion of the Willert surna.
"I don’t know much about the past affairs of my family, and I am very unfamiliar with the Willert surna,"
Charlotte pondered and then spoke.
Upon hearing Charlotte’s words, Agnes’ defenses collapsed.
Her eyes widened, her expression one of disbelief,
"You don’t know? You actually say you don’t know? How many years have passed, and your Castel has forgotten about our Willert?"
"I don’t know, but... if you tell , I’m willing to listen."
Charlotte shifted her sitting position and said.
Agnes pursed her lips, her voice filled with a teeth-gritting intensity,
"Our Willert family was the Duke of Violet before the Star Moon War."
"But in the Star Moon War, we lost our lands due to your Castel’s betrayal, and eventually, our family was destroyed and we were struck from the list of nobility!"
Duke of Violet?
Charlotte was slightly startled.
This was the first ti she had heard of this; she only knew that the current Duke of Violet was appointed by the Royal Family after the second Star Moon War, but she really didn’t know about a Willert family before that.
"Then you..."
"I am the daughter of the forr Duke of Violet, Agnes de Willit."
Agnes straightened her back as she spoke.
Charlotte nodded faintly.
She felt it was inappropriate to comnt about the older generation’s disputes.
Honestly, her knowledge of the Star Moon War was also limited, only knowing that the Violet Duchy was the main battleground and that it was almost completely demolished.
However, if it really was Castel that caused the downfall of the Willert family, then that grudge... was indeed big.
"Alright, I’ve told you everything I know, kill or flay as you please, but please honor the noble glory and do not insult and my family!"
Agnes said coldly.
Watching her face death unwaveringly, Charlotte couldn’t help but feel amused,
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll really kill you?"
Agnes pursed her lips and responded,
"Death is better than living as a captive to my enemies!"
"And don’t think I’ll bow my head! Your Castel ruined my family, and I’ll never submit to you Castels until my death! We are enemies until the end!"
Charlotte found even more amusent,
"Unyielding till death? The way you just told all those details, didn’t seem like soone unyielding till death."
Agnes: ...
Her face went pale, then flushed, and ultimately, she turned her head away with a cold snort.
Seeing the disdainful Bloodline girl aggravated by a few of her words brought Charlotte so unexplained pleasure.
She decided not to tease her further and posed her final question,
"Alright, Miss Unyielding Till Death Agnes, I have one last question—"
"How do you participate in those remote Bloodline etings? Since you can disguise your identity, there must be so kind of magic item involved, right?"
Agnes glared at Charlotte with hatred and kept her mouth shut.
Charlotte smiled faintly,
"Miss Agnes, I’m short on ti. If you can’t answer my question, I’m afraid I’ll have to consult Mr. Rahael instead."
Agnes: ...
Her eyes widened as she looked at Charlotte, her expression filled with amazent, as if her gaze was saying: How can you be so shaless?
But facing Charlotte’s seemingly amiable gaze, she finally admitted defeat and with gritted teeth said:
"The Communication Crystal, is a remote communication magic crystal."
"Oh? A Communication Crystal? Where is it?"
Charlotte asked.
"In... my backpack."
Agnes said.
The backpack, again the backpack.
Charlotte clicked her tongue and shook a bell.
Soon, the door to the interrogation room was knocked, and a guard pushed the door open and entered, respectfully asking,
"Count, do you have any orders?"
"Go look through her backpack and bring the crystal inside."
Charlotte said.
After a short while, the guard returned with a crystal-clear crystal ball:
"Count, is this it?"
Charlotte looked at Agnes, and Agnes nodded woodenly.
With confirmation, Charlotte took the crystal ball from the guard, who then respectfully withdrew.
Charlotte carefully examined the crystal ball, which was about the size of a palm with a center that seed to have a luminous flow, and upon closer inspection, one could see that it was a group of constantly rotating runes.
"You wish to control it, to sneak into those Bloodline etings like us? If you’re thinking that, I advise you to give up."
Agnes glanced at Charlotte and said.
"Oh?"
Charlotte looked at her with interest and signaled for her to continue.
Agnes paused, then said:
"This Communication Crystal Ball was given to Count Hall by the Nais Clan; it has been specially treated and requires bloodline as a qualification for activation. Apart from the relevant Bloodline, no one else can use it."
"Unless, you are a blood relative of the relevant Bloodline, like a Descendant. Of course, nobler bloodlines can also do it, like those third-generation Bloodline elders."
"We can use it because I am a direct descendant of the First Embrace Bloodline by Count Hall, and Rahael is my direct Descendant."
"Although you are a Bloodline, you are not a descendant of the Nais Clan, nor are you related to Count Hall, and like , you are of the First Embrace Bloodline with no connection to the noble bloodlines; therefore, you are unable to use it."
Saying this, Agnes looked at Charlotte and said directly:
"Unless... you are willing to let us replace you in continuing to infiltrate the etings."
Charlotte gave her a aningful glance:
"In a remote eting, only the participants know what really happened, right?"
"So what if that is the case, but you don’t have any other choices."
Agnes said.
It seed like she finally had a chance to turn the tables on Charlotte, and at this mont, she had a lot more confidence.
However, Charlotte didn’t engage with her anymore and instead began studying the crystal ball on her own.
Seeing Charlotte’s actions, Agnes’s eyes twitched:
"Do you want to try it yourself?"
She shook her head, saying:
"Forgive my frankness, but you won’t be able to do it. You won’t even be able to activate it, let alone attend a Bloodline eting."
"Your recklessness will only cause the Communication Crystal to self-destruct, alerting the Bloodline behind the scenes. Your bloodline isn’t..."
Agnes didn’t finish her sentence.
Because in Charlotte’s hands, the crystal ball was shining brightly, clearly activated.
Agnes’s eyes were wide open in disbelief, as if she had seen a ghost.
She looked at the crystal ball incredulously, stamring:
"A... activated? How is that possible? How can this be? How could you possibly activate it?!"
Saying this, she looked at Charlotte with doubts and amazent:
"You... you can activate the encrypted crystal of the Nais Clan?! You are definitely not an ordinary Bloodline mber!"
"You previously broke the Scythe Guardian of our Willert Family! Even Count Hall’s Spirit Control couldn’t break through my Scythe Guardian!"
Taking a deep breath, Agnes’s gaze was fixed onto Charlotte’s eyes:
"A newborn Bloodline couldn’t possibly have your kind of power! Absolutely couldn’t have your kind of power!"
"Who are you? Who on earth are you?!"
Charlotte smiled slightly, revealing a pair of cute fangs.
She extended her slender finger to her rosy lips, her voice clear and ethereal, sweet and alluring, her mischievous deanor like a little devil playing tricks:
"Guess?"
Agnes: ...
