Have they arrived?
Charlotte's heart stirred slightly.
"Where?"
She suppressed her anticipation and asked.
"In the backyard, everyone is waiting for you."
Mrs. Mina said respectfully.
Charlotte imdiately stood up.
"Take there."
Guided by Mrs. Mina, Charlotte arrived at the backyard of the two-story building.
When she walked out, she was slightly stunned.
The backyard of the small building was very large, more like a square that could accommodate two or three hundred people. It should have been specially used for live-in servant transactions between masters and servants. But at this mont, the yard was already full of people.
Elderly people supported each other quietly standing. So had lost a leg, so had lost an arm, so were using crutches, so had disfigured faces...
Their clothes were all different, but they were all washed clean, mostly patched, but so had a sickly complexion, and ragged clothes, indicating that they were not living well.
Behind them, there were also young n and won, the youngest possibly only twelve or thirteen years old, the oldest not exceeding sixteen, totaling about fifty people.
Seeing Charlotte coming to the yard with Mrs. Mina, everyone's eyes focused on her. The elderly people's expressions quickly beca excited, while the young n and won were mostly curious.
Old Frank stood at the forefront of the crowd. He also leaned on a crutch, his face solemn.
Seeing Charlotte, he took a step forward, placed his right hand over his chest, straightened his back, and with an old and trembling voice filled with strong pride.
"Lady Charlotte! Castell Battle Mage Corps, Castell Maid Corps... reporting to you!"
"Castell Battle Mage Corps, Castell Maid Corps... reporting to you!"
The other elderly people standing proud echoed in unison.
They placed their right hands over their chests, performing the most ancient and sacred allegiance ceremony of the Crescent Kingdom. Then, they all stepped back together, pushing the young people behind them to the forefront.
Unlike the elderly, they were not wearing well-fitted Castell uniforms, and most of the colors were faded with many patches.
However, despite the old uniforms, they were neatly cleaned, without a single stain, showing the owner's care.
The young n and won were a little uneasy, many clearly unprepared.
Encouraged by their parents, they began to nervously report.
"Number 1, Apprentice Knight... Rand reporting!"
"Number 2, Apprentice Maid... Jennifer reporting."
"Number 3, Apprentice Tailor... Laura reporting..."
"Number 4, Apprentice Knight, Silvano reporting!"
"Number 5..."
The young n and won reported one by one.
Their professions were different, but all revolved around the heritage of noble servants, and the vast majority were unranked extraordinary!
Every one of them, even if they did not beco followers of nobles, could live better lives than commoners in the future. But now, they were all standing here.
After the last young man reported, Mrs. Mina forcibly brought over her daughter, Sherry.
Although seemingly reluctant, the beautiful maid still stood at the end of the line. Her cold voice showed no emotion.
"Number 55... Apprentice Mage and Apprentice Knight, Sherry... reporting."
With that, everyone finished reporting.
"Lady Charlotte..."
"They are the best newcors I have found for you. They are our descendants and our hope."
"Although we can no longer follow you, they can..."
"To offer loyalty to the great Castell is their glory! I hope you can treat them kindly, teach them, and let them follow you further on the path towards the future..."
Mrs. Mina sincerely and hopefully said.
Seeing over a hundred excited elderly people and more than fifty young n and won in front of her, Charlotte felt an indescribable emotion spreading in her chest.
Although she knew that bringing these servants' descendants was not only about loyalty to Castell but also for the future of the next generation, she was still deeply moved.
A great family that had been passed down for hundreds of years could not lack heritage. They were the lost heritage of Castell!
At this mont, Charlotte suddenly felt a little envious of her deceased parents, who could have such loyal and lovely followers' loyalty.
She knew that she had found the ones she was looking for.
The girl ca to the front of the crowd, took a deep breath, and in the dim and bright, old and young eyes, she spoke.
"Everyone..."
"I am Charlotte de Castell."
"The lord of Castell, the inheritor Count of Borde."
"I deeply apologize for the unfair expulsion that Castell made to you ten years ago..."
"Castell was wrong, Castell committed unforgivable sins."
"You are the loyal guardians of the family, you should not be branded with stigma..."
"Please allow to apologize on behalf of Castell..."
After saying that, under the sowhat confused gaze of the crowd, Charlotte pinched her skirt and bowed.
"Lady... Lady Charlotte, you... what are you..."
Seeing the girl bowing to herself, Old Frank was startled and quickly approached her.
Many elderly people also wanted to reach out to stop her, but seeing their dirty and calloused hands, they all trembled and withdrew, only able to move to the sides to avoid the girl's bow.
After Charlotte bowed, she wanted to continue speaking. But seeing the pure, expectant, uneasy, excited, and joyful gazes of the elderly, a thousand words finally turned into a sigh.
"Everyone..."
"Let's go ho."
Hearing the girl's words, the elderly people were stunned, and then their vision blurred.
Low sobs rang out in the crowd, quickly turning into sobbing cries.
At the sa ti, Charlotte's mastery of majesty magic also soared in an instant, finally entering the advanced realm, only one step away from the perfect realm.
At this mont, Charlotte understood sowhat. The truly effective majesty cos from sincerity.

...
The elderly accepted Castell's apology.
However, they ultimately declined Charlotte's invitation, and no one chose to return to the manor.
They had lost their strength, they were extrely inferior, and they did not want to beco the filth on the brightest star in their hearts, nor did they want to beco a burden to their descendants. Even though in Charlotte's eyes, they were clearly the most adorable people.
Although regretful and helpless, seeing the elderly people so persistent, Charlotte did not force them anymore.
However, when the girl left, the carriages accompanying her were filled with young n and won.
They were the descendants of the elderly people, and they would take over the relay baton from their parents, inheriting their legacy... They would be the beginning of Castell's future.
A great family had never been alone. Loyal subjects, fervent followers, faithful servants... they were all part of the family. None of them could be missing.
Of course, many of them might also beco nobles in the future, beco lords, and beco the ancestors of another noble family loyal to Castell.
However, looking at the spacious carriage, maid Sherry was reluctant to get on.
Under the repeated urging of the Frank couple, she reluctantly boarded the carriage, but it was obvious that she was not very willing.
"Hehe, my lady, it seems that you still have a long way to go to completely win their hearts..."
"Do you need my help to teach them well?"
Beside Charlotte, Sebastian smiled slightly.
Charlotte glanced at him and shook her head gently.
"No need, I'll handle it myself."
"I will let them know that I am a lord worthy of loyalty."
"Of course, you are, and Sebastian has never doubted it."
Sebastian elegantly bowed, not missing the opportunity to flatter.
With the young n and won on board, the carriage slowly drove away from Frank's employnt agency under the gaze of the elderly.
As the carriage left the block, the Castell family's carriage also arrived.
From afar, Charlotte heard Casimodo's excited voice.
"My lady! My lady! Phew... Finally found you! Finally found you..."
The carriage stopped, and the relieved old servant also ca to the side of the carriage, but he soon discovered the young people on the carriages behind.
"Hmm? They are..."
"They are my new servants."
Through the carriage window, Charlotte said.
Glancing at the ill-fitting clothes on the young n and won, Casimodo suddenly realized, then showed relief.
"So... it's them."
"Do you know them?"
Charlotte's heart moved.
Casimodo respectfully replied.
"Yes, my lady, the old servant has always known..."
"It's just that their parents' identities are special... and every ti the old servant visits, they shut the old servant out, and the old servant doesn't know how to welco them back."
After speaking, Casimodo looked at the girl, showing excitent and relief.
"But now, it seems unnecessary."
Charlotte fell silent. But in her heart, there was a light sigh.
How could ten years of being ignored and expelled not leave a trace of resentnt?
However, that trace of resentnt had dissipated when she personally ca to the outer city.
However, regarding Casimodo's words, Charlotte still had so doubts.
"Parents?"
"I see many people are already very old, but their children are very young..."
Regarding this question, Casimodo didn't know how to answer.
But Sebastian beside him sighed lightly.
"Below legendary, the lifespan of extraordinary humans is not much longer than that of ordinary people. Whether it's pollution purification or loss of power, it will greatly reduce the lifespan of forr extraordinary."
"They declined your offer, not just because of unwillingness, but also because they don't have many years left to live."
Charlotte fell silent.
After a long ti, she sighed softly.
"Let's go ho, and then... find out their current whereabouts. Send a sum of gold tana to them every month in the future to help them improve their lives."
"Those who don't have a job, let them have so easy work in the family shop."
"Kind master, I will obey your orders."
Casimodo bowed.
"Let's go, let's go ho."
Charlotte said.
With that, the girl lowered the carriage curtain.
However, as soon as she turned her head, she saw the black cat Nice trying to sneak onto the carriage.
The two looked at each other.
Charlotte:...
Nice:...
"Ah hee hee... Great Miss Charlotte, good morning!"
"ow ow ow, why didn't you tell Nice when you went out? Nice was left behind and really sad!"
The black cat widened its amber eyes and started to act cute.
Then, it saw Charlotte's expression gradually turning cold.
"Who let you on the carriage?"
Suddenly, the girl smiled.
"Get off and run after the carriage."
Nice: ???
