"True Ancestor, do you intend to personally intervene in Castel’s rebellion?"
"A rebellion by the territory nobles is a common occurrence during the transfer of human lordships, such an affair hardly seems worthy of Your Majesty’s personal attention..."
Yulster spoke respectfully.
After speaking, he carefully lifted his head, waiting for Charlotte’s reply.
Although he had been holed up in the castle these past days, as one of the executors of the Returning Star Plan, he was well aware of everything that had happened in the Castel Domain.
To be honest, he was sowhat at a loss to understand the intentions of the Ancestor before him, and he did not know what stance the latter currently held towards Mireya’s nurous bloodline descendants.
If it were about vengeance upon the Bloodline, he had lived in terror for several months, ntally prepared for all possibilities, yet the other party had neither sought him out nor seed to take any other action.
But to say that the rebelling Bloodline Clans would not be pursued... To be frank, even when he put himself in the shoes of a Bloodline Count, he found it hard to believe.
And about such a sensitive issue, he dared not inquire directly.
After much deliberation, he had no choice but to probe cautiously with his questions.
Gods do not act without purpose, and every oracle from a god is laden with profound significance.
Yulster believed that perhaps knowing the real reason behind the other party’s interest in Castel would allow him to infer the Ancestor’s true attitude.
He needed to know the True Ancestor’s stance.
This was not just for his own safety but also for the na of his Nais Clan.
Faced with Yulster’s probing gaze mixed with evasion, Charlotte glanced at him indifferently, the bloodline-derived intimidation instantly activated.
In an instant, Yulster felt a mountainous force assault him from all sides, like the magnificent authority of heaven.
He felt like a tiny boat in a storm, about to be torn to shreds by that irresistible power at any mont.
"True... True Ancestor..."
Feeling that terrifying pressure, Yulster’s expression changed dramatically, his face showing fear.
His complexion turned pale, and his strength was almost completely stripped away in an instant; he fell to his knees with a thud.
Under the unleashnt of the True Ancestor, no bloodline descendant could resist Charlotte’s power in the Dark Night Ancient Castle!
It wasn’t until Yulster was bewildered, his soul trembling and nearly unable to withstand the True Ancestor’s unleashed pressure, that Charlotte suppressed the unleashed power.
She sat high on her throne, looking down at him, her crimson eyes as tranquil as an ancient well:
"Should there be a next ti, the punishnt will be more than what you have just experienced."
I’m dood!
I forgot this is the Dark Night Ancient Castle!
Yulster was instantly drenched in sweat.
The Dark Night Ancient Castle was the spiritual world of the Blood True Ancestor, where the True Ancestor knew everything within the castle.
Absorbed in magic inscriptions these past days, he had been caught off guard with a sudden summon; he had overlooked this and let his thoughts wander!
"True... True Ancestor..."
Yulster was both frightened and afraid, his voice trembling.
"Rise. Attend to the tasks I have assigned you, and do not dwell on other matters."
Charlotte said indifferently.
Saying this, she looked deeply at Yulster:
"History is but a list of indecipherable old debts. What’s past is past; as long as the Nais Clan does not stand against , I naturally will not pursue the rest."
"Do you understand?" Charlotte asked.
Upon hearing Charlotte’s words, Yulster took on an even more respectful and obedient deanor:
"I heed Your Oracle, Great Majesty..."
"I will organize the army as promptly as possible, in the form of rcenaries, to assist Castel..."
"How many can you gather?"
Charlotte inquired.
Yulster pondered for a mont before respectfully replying,
"At least... I can organize three thousand Transcendents, including a hundred tier-entering n!"
Yulster did not ntion how many conventional troops he could assemble.
To a mber of the Bloodline, ordinary humans beneath the Transcendent level, even if massed in large armies, are nothing more than a aningless number.
...
After issuing the command to Yulster, Charlotte sent him out of the spirit world.
Although there was a sowhat forcible aspect to turning Yulster into a Blood Favored, after incidents such as the devouring of Elder Nasim and others, this Bloodline Count from the Nais Clan had all but confird Charlotte’s identity.
A bit of coercion, followed by promises, might not yet have completely won his heart, but he could now be used to bolster her own strength.
Indeed, it was like when Nisi voluntarily ca to her doorstep.
Charlotte exhaled softly, sowhat eager to summon the Blood Holy Scripture.
When she had sent Yulster to search for Holy Scripture Fragnts a few months earlier, it had been but a casual move; unexpectedly, Yulster had indeed brought back substantial gains.
This turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
With Charlotte’s intent, the Blood Holy Scripture opened on its own.
After over a year of additions, the pages of the Holy Scripture had grown in number and had finally begun to feel like a book, not just an empty shell as before.
Charlotte closed her eyes lightly, perceiving the information of the Blood Holy Scripture.
Seven new fragnts had been added, among them, two from the Chapter of Darkness and five from the Observation Chapter.
Charlotte contemplated whether the abundance of fragnts from the Observation Chapter was due to the Nais Clan’s adeptness in the Observation Path.
As usual, with the addition of seven new fragnts, the recorded Talent Spells in the Holy Scripture had increased significantly.
Especially the Dark Path and Observation Path, where the laws had been further perfected, the last pages even included two new Middle-tier Magic Spells.
One was "Dark Weapon," which called upon the power of the Dark Elent to construct simulated armants with magical energy outside one’s body. These simulations could be armor or various types of clothing, with their defensive and offensive power linked to the magical energy consud for construction.
The other was "Curse Command," which placed a directed curse on a target through a word spirit. The success and strength of the word spirit and the curse were related to the target’s power—the stronger the curse and the more powerful the target, the harder it would be to successfully execute "Curse Command."
Having grown accustod to using Blood Divine Power and True Ancestor Liberation, Charlotte honestly didn’t crave the new Talent Magic as she used to, but having a variety of skills was never a burden and learning more spells could enhance her combat effectiveness and self-protection in her normal state.
Particularly diversified spells—now learned—could also be executed in the True Ancestor Liberation form and would be even more powerful.
However, regrettably, as the number of pages increased, the developnt of new functions in the Blood Holy Scripture slowed down. Charlotte pondered that this might be because, as the power of the Holy Scripture Law grew, the threshold for a qualitative change also rose, much like the increasing difficulty of Transcendent advancent.
"The Nais Clan has been preparing the Returning Star Plan for a long ti, and with Yulster as one of the main executors, along with his Transcendent Army, even after Legris, Bold and the Third Prince’s support, dealing with the rebellion should not be problematic."
"But... what’s going on with Viscount Remisio? He supports the Second Prince, and I clash with the Third Prince, yet he promised to support Castel during the rebellion. Why is he now remaining neutral?"
"Could it be... that sothing has changed within the Kingdom’s higher echelons?"
Rubbing the armrest of the Blood Throne, Charlotte was lost in thought.
"Well, I should send soone to ask."
With that thought, Charlotte looked towards the hundreds of light orbs in the Star Sea, each representing her believers.
