"I've attended this ritual several tis hundreds of years ago," the projection of the Roman Sword would manifest itself to aid the descendants of Roman in purifying their bloodlines, without the need for humans to enter the sealed space."
"Now even 'the gate' has appeared; could it be intended to break the seal?"
Charlotte's mind stirred,
"Are you suggesting that the Romany Royal Family has designs on the Roman Sword itself?"
"That possibility cannot be ruled out, although it is quite bold."
Nisi spoke.
Charlotte pondered thoughtfully.
After considering, she asked,
"Would this affect the plans of the Nais Clan and ?"
Nisi shook his head,
"It's hard to say. The Roman Sword is rumored to be a rather proud Divine Sword, one that holds strength in the highest regard, so much so that not even myths can impress it."
"In the past, when the Blood Demon Duke was at his peak, he attempted to subdue it after the fall of the Half-Elf hero Romannus, but was t with nothing but its mockery. Hiding in a different space, it reigned supre within that realm, so much so that even the Blood Demon Duke could do nothing against it."
"I think… even if the sealed space is opened, the Romany Royal Family will most likely only be subjected to humiliation."
"Not to ntion, it's uncertain whether they can even open the different space."
"Besides, who knows what ace the Roman family may have up their sleeve? After all, they are the descendants of Romannus."
"However, even if the seal is breached, it would likely have to wait until the ancestral recognition ritual is completed. After all… without even that recognition, one shouldn't even dream of entering the place sealed by the Roman Sword."
Hearing Nisi's words, Charlotte nodded,
"I understand."
Truth be told, after hearing so much about it, she was quite curious about the Roman Sword. If the seal were truly opened, perhaps she could join in the commotion.
No, it would be best if the seal on the space could be activated.
That way, obtaining the Faceless Divine Statue would be easier for her.
However, her strength was not even comparable to the half-asleep half-awake Blood Demon Duke currently, so the idea of subduing the Roman Sword was out of the question.
"Lord Charlotte, if you wish to enter the sealed space, you would have to wait until the Roman family has opened the seal. Since they are prepared, I believe they must be quite confident. You were already going to participate in the ritual. I think… once the gateway to the space opens, you can easily establish a connection and cross through it,"
Nisi analyzed.
Hearing its words, Charlotte nodded slightly,
"I see."
Then, she glanced at Nisi,
"Tomorrow, you will accompany to the secret ritual chamber agreed on with the Nais Clan."
Nisi's smile stiffened.
"ow! Lord Charlotte! Can Nisi not go? Yulster will definitely be there too! Nisi does not wish to see him!"
Nisi exclaid in surprise, quickly shaking its head.
Charlotte gave it a look,
"Your underpants have already been stripped clean, what more are you afraid of losing?"
Nisi: ...
"Lord Charlotte! This... Isn't Nisi also available as your substitute! Nisi has plenty of experience in serving as your substitute. Last ti when you were in slumber, nobody could tell!"
"ow! You surely can't be truly confident in the substitute prepared by the Nais Clan, can you? They aren't familiar with you, and they don't act quite right!"
Nisi exclaid again.
Charlotte looked at it,
"But the Romany Royal Family isn't familiar with either. Even if it's unconvincing, I doubt they would notice."
"Not to ntion, my reason for having you accompany is for more convenience in acting. After all... you know more about the Ancient Hall than I do at the mont."
Upon hearing Charlotte's acknowledgnt, Nisi seed sowhat vain, but the thought of inevitably encountering Yulster imdiately dampened its spirits.
Charlotte then said,
"However... you do have a point; indeed, I do not quite trust the substitute prepared by the Nais Clan. But it is not because they might not be convincing; rather, it's their strength that might not be sufficient to hold the fort."
"Since it involves the Roman Sword, it's fraught with uncertainties, and even a substitute must possess the ability to deal with crises."
Hearing Charlotte's words, Nisi's mind stirred,
"ow! From what you've said, do you already have soone in mind?"
Charlotte nodded slightly,
"Exactly."
Saying so, she used the Blood Servant Contract to reach out to so unfortunate soul from the Shedite Clan, commanding both in her mind and aloud,
"Albrecht, co to at once."
Monts later, the windows of the room opened by themselves, letting in gusts of cold air while sinister black mist gathered from all directions, converging in the center of the room.
The mist steadily solidified until it ford a human shape.
It was Albrecht, the Third Dark Apostle, who possessed both Demon and Bloodline traits.
Odosia and Nisi also noticed the sudden appearance of the figure in the room.
Odosia's gaze beca sharp, and she reflexively bared her teeth, taking up a defensive posture ready to attack, with black dragon scales faintly appearing on her body.
This was the instinctive reaction to the approach of a powerful being.
Nisi was not much better off.
He was montarily stunned by the appearance of the black mist, but upon recognizing the figure, he imdiately sprang up and scurried behind Charlotte,
"ow?! The Third Dark Apostle… Albrecht?!"
Charlotte was sowhat surprised,
"You know him?"
"ow! How could I not! He's been a familiar face on the New Moon Kingdom's most-wanted lists for hundreds of years!"
