Thinking of this, Charlotte’s gaze again swept through her mansion:
"Where’s Nisi?"
"He’s probably off flirting with the maids in the mansion. I saw him owing and acting cute towards a few young maids right before I entered the interrogation room."
Sebastian smiled slightly, always eager to sar Nisi’s reputation in front of Charlotte.
Charlotte: ...
Her expression darkened, and she said,
"Have him co to my study."
It wasn’t long before Nisi scurried into Charlotte’s study.
"ow! Great Miss Charlotte, did you need for sothing?"
Looking at the black cat that seed to get fatter and have shinier fur since arriving in the domain, Charlotte clicked her tongue,
"Nisi, seems like you’re having a good ti. How are the maids here treating you?"
Upon hearing Charlotte’s words, Nisi’s eyes sparkled,
"ow! Great! Really great! Castel Domain is truly known for its beauties, and the quality of your maids is much higher than those at the manor! I, Master Cat..."
Nisi didn’t finish his statent.
Because he quickly noticed Charlotte’s amused expression.
"Why stop? Why don’t you continue?"
Charlotte asked with interest.
Nisi swallowed a gulp of saliva, shivered, and quickly changed the subject,
"Uh... that... did you summon for sothing?"
Charlotte decided not to pursue this licentious cat’s personal life but got straight to the point,
"What’s the highest level of protective and sealing magic and Divine Arts you can currently perform?"
Nisi thought for a mont and honestly replied,
"Uh... For magic, I can only perform up to Second Tier, but Divine Arts are a bit better, I can borrow Mitra’s... ah no, harness the great power of the Contract God, so I can perform up to Third Tier."
Charlotte: ...
You were about to say ’fleecing,’ weren’t you?
You ant fleecing, didn’t you?!
Since I enslaved you, I’ve never once seen this licentious cat pray to a deity, and now it seems you’ve found so loophole to use the Divine Arts, haven’t you?!
This guy... is definitely not a true believer of the Contract God Mitra!
Charlotte looked at Nisi oddly, thought for a mont, and said,
"Nisi, I need you to set up all the high tier protective Divine Arts and sealing Divine Arts you can perform at the banquet in the Count Mansion. Can you do that?"
Nisi’s eyes lit up,
"Is it to deal with those Bloodline mbers who might infiltrate? ow! Don’t worry! Leave it to ! I assure you I’ll send all those blind fools straight to a different space!"
Charlotte twitched at the corner of her eye,
"That won’t be necessary, I need them alive."
But after a mont of thought, she added,
"Still, keep a back-up plan for banishing them to a different space."
"ow! Just trust with the job!"
Nisi pounded his chest and said.
...
After instructing Nisi to prepare the Divine Arts, Charlotte finally found herself with so free ti and planned to browse through the books in the Count Mansion.
However, having returned to North Port from the Mining Workshop not long ago, she was destined not to have a mont’s rest.
Her desk milk was still warm when she received another request for an audience from North Port Mayor, Madoc Olan.
"Madoc? Let him in."
She sipped the milk lightly and told the reporting maid Sherry.
Sherry respectfully withdrew, and soon, the Mayor of North Port, Madoc Olan, rushed in.
"Lord Count, I heard you captured those rcenaries who attacked you on Shallow Water Street?"
The portly old mayor hurriedly asked as soon as he entered the study.
Charlotte was a bit surprised,
"The news spread that fast?"
Madoc Olan nodded,
"Yes, it’s all over. After all, the City Guard Team was deployed to Shallow Water Street this morning, and I heard even the rcenary Association sent quite a number of rcenaries. It was no small matter."
He sighed and continued,
"It’s also my dereliction of duty. I didn’t expect those daring rcenaries to be hiding in Shallow Water Street, nor did I anticipate the poor people there would dare to shelter a criminal..."
"But the problems of Shallow Water Street aren’t new. Please give so more ti, I assure you I will handle the law and order of the place!"
"Please rest assured, I will certainly explain this matter to you!"
Madoc Olan gritted his teeth and said.
Charlotte looked at him strangely,
"The rcenaries who attacked weren’t locals of North Port, so why bring up Shallow Water Street?"
Madoc Olan was taken aback,
"You... weren’t you quite unsatisfied with Shallow Water Street?"
Charlotte frowned,
"?"
Her expression grew cold,
"Who said that?"
Madoc Olan hesitated for a mont, then honestly replied,
"The City Guard Team told . According to the guards, you seed very dissatisfied with the harboring on Shallow Water Street while searching for the fugitives..."
Charlotte was stunned montarily, soon recalling that she had indeed shown a displeased expression while talking to the guards.
However, what she targeted was not Shallow Water Street but the guard answering her questions, who described all the residents of the slum as unruly troublemakers disrupting public order.
Now it seed her expression was misunderstood by the guards and even reached City Official Madoc.
At this mont, Charlotte sowhat understood why people of high status in her previous life always cautiously controlled their every action.
Because your every gesture, in the eyes of your subordinates, might represent your attitude.
And your attitude could directly influence further proceedings.
