Having finished researching her new abilities, Charlotte’s consciousness returned to the real world.
After she adjusted her clothes and stepped out of the study, she noticed that the expressions of the servants and knights throughout the Count Mansion seed amiss.
"What happened?" Charlotte asked, a ripple of concern passing through her heart.
"Count, just now..." A still bewildered knight began to recount the strange occurrences they had sensed not long ago.
Hm? Mysterious bloodline pulsations. Charlotte’s eyes twitched.
She nodded slightly to comfort the emotionally tense knight before discreetly continuing her inquiries with other mbers of the house staff. It was only then that she realized almost everyone had just experienced shifts in their bloodline pulsation.
As for Rena, the only other mber of the Bloodline in the mansion aside from herself, the impact was much greater. She lay unconscious in the washroom, alone.
If Charlotte hadn’t discovered her through the blood pulsation sensing, who knows how long the intellectually impaired maid might have slept there.
These indicators inevitably led Charlotte to connect the phenona to herself...
Such large-scale bloodline sensing—could it be a result of her fusion with the divine statue?
Charlotte’s heart pounded wildly, her expression indiscernible.
She hadn’t anticipated that rging with the divine statue would elicit such a significant reaction.
Judging by everyone in the Count Mansion, at least the entire residence had sensed it.
It was one thing within the mansion, but if it had extended to North Port or even beyond...
Charlotte suddenly felt a headache coming on.
"Sherry, send soone to find out how many people sensed the palpitations just now," she directed.
The investigation wouldn’t take much ti.
Before long, Sherry returned to report, bringing news that made Charlotte’s eyes twitch violently:
"Hm? You’re saying that everyone in North Port seems to have felt it?"
"Yes, Lord Charlotte."
Charlotte: ...
Her headache intensified.
She hadn’t expected fusing with the divine statue to cause such an uproar, even more outrageous than her previous reincarnation!
This also indirectly suggested that her transformation this ti had truly touched upon the secrets of the mythical...
Such a vast-scale occurrence was undoubtedly impossible to conceal.
Fortunately, the faith of the Holy Royal Court had waned in the Northern Land.
With countless strange occurrences happening across the Mireya Continent every year, unless there was sothing unusual, the Church probably wouldn’t go out of its way to co to the Northern Land...
But as fear would have it, not long after, the priest Lotti also ca to visit.
"Hm? You’re saying the God Suppressing Bell of the diocese also rang?"
"Yes, Lord Charlotte, the God Suppressing Bell of the diocese rang, and the divine statues in the church all lit up. The priests of the diocese used ergency communication to speak directly with the church, inquiring what happened in the Northern Land..."
Upon hearing Lotti’s report, Charlotte’s expression turned grave.
The diocese’s God Suppressing Bell was different from others.
The diocese was a religious institution of the Holy Royal Court that managed the Mireya Continent, second only to the Central Church Authority Country, communicating directly with the central authority and taking responsibility for subordinate national divisions of the Holy Royal Court Church.
Taking the New Moon Diocese as an example, it is responsible for managing the Church’s power within both the New Moon Kingdom and the Moon God Coast city-states, and it has always been the main adversary that New Moon King Louis V covertly fought against, seeking to weaken Church Authority and strengthen Royal Authority.
When the God Suppressing Bell of the Bold Church had rung, it had drawn three Blazing Sun investigators from the diocese, and this incident was even bigger; the Holy Royal Court would definitely attach more importance to it.
When the God Suppressing Bell rang, the Judgent Court would certainly mobilize!
Fortunately, this phenonon was caused by Charlotte’s fusion with the Ancient Divine Statue, and since she had already completely fused with the statue, it wasn’t like those large sacrifices that required long-term preparation; it left no trace.
But this ant that she would have to keep a low profile until the Holy Royal Court concluded its investigation.
Moreover, she needed to concoct a pretext to give an explanation for this phenonon to prevent the Holy Royal Court from latching onto it.
At this ti, Charlotte naturally thought of a perfect scapegoat...
After so deliberation, she decisively contacted Sebastian, who was far out at the border, through their contract, bringing his consciousness into the spiritual world of the Dark Night Ancient Castle:
"Sebastian, the God Suppressing Bell of the Holy Royal Court’s New Moon Diocese has rung. Fake a scene like the Divine Descent ceremony of the Blood Demon Church, and be ready for inspection."
Sebastian: ...
"Great master, was the bloodline phenonon just now caused by you?"
Charlotte: ...
Damn, even the border felt it? Just how far did the scope of this phenonon extend?!
"Master, such a large-scale phenonon, based on my understanding of the Holy Royal Court, they will definitely take it very seriously and will likely dispatch a Legendary-level Great Priest and Judgnt Chief, maybe even with a Divine Artifact!"
"The Holy Royal Court has dealt with many mythical resurgence related matters and has so unique thods; it is said that so Divine Artifacts even have the ability to identify Gods who have resurrected..."
"You have only returned shortly, and although your power has recovered sowhat, I think now is not a good ti to confront them directly; it’s best if we can avoid eting them."
"What you do not know is that, historically, the Holy Royal Court even has records of slaying gods; the Church’s Great Judge, with his mortal body, has personally slain a deity who returned!"
Before the Blood Throne, Sebastian’s expression was grave as he spoke.
Damn, Godslaying?
Charlotte felt a jolt in her heart.
After thinking it over, she said:
"Leave the staging of the scene to Yulster. He’s of the Nais Bloodline and is better at deception."
"You, after settling the affairs of the Legris Family, co back quickly with Nisi and join on my way to the Royal Capital."
"To the Royal Capital?"
Sebastian blinked in surprise.
Charlotte glanced at him:
"We’re attending the central eting of the Kingdom, and by the way, et with our King."
Sebastian imdiately understood.
The Bold - Castel war had ended. At the central eting, a judgnt had to be made against the Third Prince for violating the Holy Code and the Royal Authority Contract; there was nothing better to serve as a pretext to avoid the Holy Royal Court’s investigative team.
"Great master, I understand. Also, regarding Rose from the Legris Family..."
"She did not participate in the rebellion but was marginalized and used as an offering, right?"
"That’s right."
Charlotte pondered for a mont, then said:
"The Legris Family must be dealt with severely; this is unrelated to the individual. The fact that they participated in the rebellion from top to bottom and colluded with the Blood Demon Sect is undeniable."
"As for Rose, have her rest up in the Blood Wolf Tribe in the mining district. Consider it, on account of our past relationship, leaving a seed for the Legris Family."
"Additionally, inform the Blood Wolf Tribe to keep a low profile during the Holy Royal Court’s investigation and to temporarily suspend all activities."
"And... the Black Dragon?"
"Bring it back with you as well; I’ll decide after I’ve seen it."
Upon hearing Charlotte’s words, Sebastian respectfully complied:
"I will heed your divine oracle..."
