“Oh my, this is infuriating! Absolutely infuriating!”
“Lady Charlotte, did you hear what that Pope just said? Deliberate! That old man did it on purpose!”
“He must have figured out your identity! This whole attack was definitely orchestrated by him and targeted at you! This is a test for us!”
“We need to act imdiately! Although I don’t know how you managed to disguise yourself and fool them, they’re bound to have more tricks up their sleeves!”
“The Theocracy is not a place to stay for long. Although you are a Demigod, if they use the ultimate God-slaying artifacts from the Holy Court, the consequences could be disastrous!”
In a solemn guest room in the Holy Palace, adorned with religious paintings, the black cat Nice kept pacing back and forth, a look of anxiety on his chubby face.
However, Charlotte remained calm.
She had changed into the golden-hemd Saintess’ robe sent by the priests and even wore a necklace with a ring cross holy symbol on her chest, blessed by high-ranking clergy of the Theocracy.
She looked almost radiant with a holy glow, which left Sebastian, who was pouring tea, sowhat stunned.
Seeing Charlotte without a trace of worry, Sebastian fell into contemplation.
As he skillfully added milk and brown sugar to the tea and stirred it, he said,
“Nice, don’t be so anxious. Is there a possibility that Master… really is the Saintess of the Holy Court?”
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Although I don’t know how Lady Charlotte invoked the Holy Light, bloodbornes and the church have been mortal enemies for two thousand years! Lady Charlotte can deceive those priests, but the Theocracy possesses the legendary Supre Artifact. If it appears, even Lady Charlotte, the True Ancestor of Blood, would be exposed!”
Nice shook his head like a rattle drum.
Hearing Nice ntion the Holy Court’s artifacts, Sebastian also frowned, looking worried.
The Holy Court’s artifacts were indeed legendary.
There are more than ten artifacts known for subduing or slaying Demigods, not to ntion the number one artifact in the entire Myria Continent, the Genesis Arbiter!
However, unlike Nice, who was a contract servant, Sebastian was a blood familiar and had a much stronger blood connection to Charlotte.
Earlier, he genuinely sensed that the holy power was indeed being wielded by his master and not through so artifact or tool.
“Master, are you truly the Saintess of the Creator God?”
Sebastian couldn’t help but ask.
Charlotte took the teacup from Sebastian, sipped the sweet tea, and then said,
“Yes, but also no.”
“Huh? What… does that an?”
Sebastian was puzzled, his curiosity piqued.
Even Nice stopped pacing and approached, eager to know.
“Yes and no? Lady Charlotte, what do you an?”
Charlotte took another small sip of tea, then slowly put the teacup down.
“This is a long story, and it all… starts two thousand years ago.”
“Two thousand years ago? That’s the end of the Mythic Era, right? According to so records, it was you who led the bloodbornes to defeat the elves, establishing the Bloodborne Dynasty and initiating the Blood Moon Calendar.”
Nice’s interest was instantly piqued, and even Sebastian paid full attention.
Charlotte nodded and then said,
“That was indeed a chaotic era. I don’t know how it’s recorded in the various churches now, but in that era, I did appear and led humans and bloodbornes against the elves and the Old Gods.”
“At that ti, the force following was known as the Free City-State Alliance, and leading the alliance were my two disciples, or rather, my first and second embraced descendants.”
“Your two disciples and embraced descendants? Wait a minute… does this have sothing to do with the Holy Court as well?”
Nice had a sudden thought and asked.
Charlotte nodded and said,
“Harald… was one of the descendants I personally embraced.”
Nice: …
Sebastian: …
“Ha… Harald?! Wait… Your Majesty the True Ancestor, did I hear that right? Is it the ‘Harald’ I think it is?”
Nice’s eyes widened.
Even Sebastian, usually very composed, lost control for the first ti, his face full of astonishnt.
Charlotte nodded in confirmation.
“If there is no other true God nad Harald in this world, then… it’s just as you think.”
Nice: …
Sebastian: …
“Wait… I’m a bit confused… Your Majesty, does this an that the Creator God was once your disciple and descendant, and you… are the teacher of the Creator God?!”
Nice’s trembling voice carried disbelief, but beyond the incredulity, there was a hint of gossip and excitent at hearing such ancient bloodborne secrets.
This was indeed exciting.
The main Gods of two eras, depicted as nesis in various myths, legends, unofficial histories, and dramas, turned out to be master and disciple, even “mother and son”!
Big news!
This was an unprecedented revelation and big news!
If the priests of the Holy Court, who viewed bloodbornes as evil, knew this, their worldviews and faiths would collapse instantly!
He knew! He always knew!
Everything in the Holy Court’s bible was just self-glorification!
Claims of creating the world, the return of the Creator God, all lies!
The Creator God… was just a more powerful God!
And also a descendant of his own followed God!
Wait…
The Creator God Harald is the descendant embraced by Her Majesty.
He is the pet… I an, servant, personally contracted by Her Majesty.
Doesn’t that an… he is now in the sa generation as the Creator God?
Nice’s gossiping soul burned fiercely, and the whole cat was caught up in the excitent of learning bloodborne secrets, even looking at Charlotte with more fervor.
By the True Ancestor!
Lady Charlotte is indeed Lady Charlotte, the Legendary ruler of the Blood Moon Era!
Such a big secret, such explosive hidden truths, could only appear with Her Majesty!
The more Nice thought about it, the more excited he beca, and the more curious he grew about what other secrets this resurrected God might hold.
On the other hand, Sebastian was so shocked he couldn’t speak.
“So it is… so it is! No wonder… no wonder the holy power has no effect on you, no wonder you can easily summon the miracles of the Creator God. If He was once your disciple and descendant, then it all makes sense…”
The elf butler murmured.
He was indeed very shocked.
After all, no one would have thought that the greatest enemy and threat to their followed God, the one he had always imagined and guarded against since becoming a familiar, was actually the descendant of their God!
“Although I was also very shocked when I first learned of it, this is indeed the truth. The main God worshipped by the Holy Court, the Creator God who established the Holy Era, was indeed my forr disciple and… descendant.”
Seeing Sebastian’s incredulous face, Charlotte said.
Seemingly realizing sothing, Nice’s heart skipped a beat, and he said,
“Wait… if that’s the case, doesn’t that an the Creator God is also a bloodborne?! Could it be… that the Holy Court was also established by bloodbornes?”
Charlotte shook her head slightly.
“I don’t know. As you know, my mory is not complete, and I don’t have any related mories. But from the various clues I’ve gathered since my awakening, the Holy Court is indeed closely related to bloodbornes.”
Sebastian fell into deep thought, recalling.
“Great Master, now that you ntion it, it reminds of sothing. Centuries ago, I once read a forbidden poem claiming that the Creator God was your descendant and successor, as well as the ancestor of the royal bloodline. Could it be… that the insane poem was true?”
“Is it ‘The Song of the Blood Moon’? I also read it while in the Crescent Kingdom. One of my purposes in coming to the Theocracy is to uncover the secrets of the Holy Court.”
Charlotte said.
Pausing, she sighed.
“Of course, the key lies in Harald. In my mory, he never betrayed , and it’s impossible for him to betray . I want to know what happened in the subsequent years… why he founded the Holy Court and turned against the bloodbornes.”
Sebastian’s heart skipped a beat, and he said,
“Master, you always asked to investigate the secrets behind the Luna Island. Could it be… related to this?”
Charlotte nodded slightly.
“Yes, by now, there are so things I can tell you. If my judgnt is correct, the God behind the Luna Island should be one of the two main Gods of the elves, the Sun God Helios.”
“The Sun God… Helios?”
Well-read, nice was puzzled.
“Hel… Helios?!”
Sebastian’s expression changed instantly.
Nice’s heart skipped a beat.
“Sebastian, do you know?”
Sebastian glanced at Charlotte, hesitated briefly, then nodded.
“That is a forbidden na among the elves, a myth buried in history, and the main culprit behind the decline of our race.”
“I only saw records of Him in the forbidden library before I was exiled from the clan. It is said… He is the elder brother of the Moon Goddess.”
Nice listened, suddenly enlightened, then sighed.
“So that’s it. I never expected there would be so many secrets I didn’t know! Lady Charlotte, so… could everything that happened in the Holy Court also be related to this God you ntioned?”
Charlotte nodded and said,
“The Sun God Helios was long ago corrupted by Origin Malice. He desires to beco the Creator God and will pay any price to achieve this. Any force or God that stands in His way will face destruction…”
“As for what happened in the Holy Court, let the person involved explain.”
Saying this, Charlotte looked in a certain direction.
“Guardian Scepter, we are already inside the Holy Palace, and I have shielded us with origin power. Even Helios cannot detect us. You… may reveal yourself.”
As soon as she finished speaking, golden light spread throughout the room, and a magnificent phantom of a scepter gradually appeared, finally forming into an illusory old man.
“Greetings, Bloodborne Progenitor, Your Majesty the True Ancestor!”
The phantom saluted.
Seeing the abundant spiritual light and holy power, Nice’s eyes widened again.
“Whoa! A projection of a wisdom artifact?! Wait… and it’s from the Holy Court!”
