Seeing Nice’s righteous deanor, Charlotte decided not to expose his little sches.
She smiled slightly and nodded approvingly.
“Well said.”
“The Blood Demon Archduke has committed countless atrocities, and any righteous person would be their mortal enemy…”
“In that case, as my servant and a just black cat, it’s up to you to step forward and do whatever you can for the cause of justice.”
“Uh… huh? ?”
Nice was taken aback.
Charlotte gave him a sidelong glance.
“What? Are you unwilling?”
“Um… Master Charlotte, I’m just a poor little kitty who’s been locked up…”
Nice said weakly.
Charlotte stared at him expressionlessly, letting him continue to play the victim.
Under Charlotte’s deep, golden eyes, Nice felt more pressure than when facing Eudoxia earlier.
Finally, he gave in under Charlotte’s gaze, looking away and sighing resignedly.
“Alright, Master, what do you want to do?”
“I want you to infiltrate the Blood Demon Cult and the Lagrisse family to uncover their secrets.”
Charlotte said.
“What? Infiltrate the Blood Demon Cult and the Lagrisse family? Master, to be honest… I have so unpleasant history with the Blood Demon Cult. If they discover my true identity, I’m afraid I’ll be sacrificed in no ti!”
Nice screeched.
Charlotte gave him an exasperated look.
“Alright, stop bargaining. Don’t I know you? If you were really that scared, you would have been begging to rescue you by now.”
“Follow my instructions, and I will naturally ensure your safety.”
Under Charlotte’s unquestionable gaze, Nice sighed in resignation.
“Alright, alright, since it’s your order, I will do as you say…”
Then, he nervously asked.
“Um, Master, you will really ensure my safety, right?”
Charlotte nodded slightly.
“Of course, my eyes will always be watching over you…”
Crimson mist gradually spread, and the ntal world began to blur. Charlotte knew the remote summoning through the soul mark was almost over.
She glanced at Nice and gently waved.
“Alright, that’s it for today. You’re smart, you should know what to do. I expect you to bring back good news…”
With that, she activated the power of the Gospel of Blood, ending the summoning.
Feeling the pull back to reality, Nice hurriedly shouted.
“Master! You have to keep your word! If I encounter danger, you must rescue !”
The scene blurred and shifted, and Nice quickly returned to reality.
He was still in the sa workshop filled with various magical materials, the sa velvet-covered chair, and that damned anti-magic chain still around his neck…
In the workshop, mages and alchemists were busy, not noticing the recent summoning.
Or rather, such high-level consciousness summoning was beyond the perception of these re mortals who only possessed so extraordinary powers.
Scanning the surrounding mages, Nice made a decision. He took a deep breath and then shouted loudly.
“I… I want to see Eudoxia! I want to see Eudoxia!”
“I’ve changed my mind! I surrender! I’m willing to surrender!”
…
anwhile, Charlotte also returned to reality after ending the summoning of Nice.
However, she didn’t sever the connection with Nice but continued to monitor it through the soul mark.
Nice was her contract servant. Though not a blood servant, she could still perform so actions similar to those blood servants through the soul mark.
If Nice made any moves, she could quickly shift her focus back, and in critical monts, she could directly channel her power through the soul mark to Nice, performing a remote 『True Ancestor’s Liberation』.
Thus, she wasn’t worried about Nice’s safety.
In other words, Charlotte could rescue Nice at any mont if needed.
But after understanding Nice’s situation, she wasn’t in a hurry to do so.
Directly rescuing Nice would only bring back a pet. Since Nice was already “deep behind enemy lines”, she might as well let him go deeper.
She wanted to use Nice to uncover what the Blood Demon Cult was up to and to understand the true nature of the Lagrisse family.
Perhaps due to her “ti travel” during her slumber, she was also intrigued by the “ruins” Nice ntioned…
“Summoning Fla Demon, performing blood sacrifices, infiltrating the Nez Clan, inciting noble rebellions…”
“The Blood Demon Cult seems far more active these past couple of years than recorded in the docunts.”
“And why do they seem to be circling around Castell?”
Charlotte muttered with a frown.
The Blood Demon Cult’s objectives were unclear. However, Charlotte suspected it might be related to awakening the Blood Demon Archduke.
But regardless of what they were plotting in her territory, one thing was certain.
Through this suppression of the rebellion, she not only intended to fully control her domain but also to expel the Blood Demon Cult’s influence entirely!
“Extraordinary power should be t with extraordinary power, but besides that, the mundane warfare is also crucial. Although the Gospel of Blood grants power comparable to a Legendary, these powers shouldn’t be directly displayed on the battlefield…”
“Castell’s army outnumbers the rebels, but their actions are peculiar. They dare to rebel despite their disadvantage, which ans they must have powerful support.”
“If it’s just the Blood Demon Cult… it shouldn’t be enough, as they can’t operate openly and must find proxies.”
“Could it be… Borde and the Third Prince?”
Charlotte pondered.
After a mont, she shook her head.
“Never mind, we’ll handle it as it cos. If the rebels have supporters, I can call in reinforcents too…”
Thinking of this, Charlotte delved into her consciousness and reached out to the star representing Count Yurst of the Nez Clan.
If there was any place Castell could find powerful reinforcents, it would undoubtedly be the Nez Clan.
anwhile, in a rural castle in the Starfall Kingdom…
Yurst, who was tinkering with runes in his magical workshop, suddenly had a premonition and felt a summon from the void…
