Chapter 203 53 Hitting the Nobles

Chapter 203 -53- Beating the Nobles

The banquet at Earl's Palace was a success.

Although the assassination occurred in full view of the public, and although Charlotte seemed to have done nothing, her purpose of formally meeting with the vassals was initially accomplished.

Not only that, thanks to these nobles with MAX in-fighting abilities, she also had a lot of leverage on various noble families after the banquet.

It can only be said that the vampires who infiltrated Castel from behind were too hasty.

Charlotte knows this is just the beginning, though.

Although she has a preliminary understanding of the vassals in the territory, her authority has not yet been established.

No matter how various noble families have been infiltrated by the blood clan, no matter how much everyone respected her at the banquet, the fact that the power of the Castel family has declined and the ambition of the nobles has grown has not changed.

It's not all bad news, though.

The Ness clan hidden behind the scenes has come to the forefront.

Although it is unclear what the other party will do next, at least Charlotte has vaguely guessed the purpose of the Ness clan to infiltrate Castel.

Charlotte also has further ideas on how to defeat the vassals, how to establish authority, and how to expel the power of the Ness clan...

"Great Master, Sebastian has let you down. The assassin used the magic scroll to take advantage of you..."

Sebastian came back a little earlier than Charlotte expected, showing up early the next morning.

As soon as the fire elf returned to the castle, he hurriedly came to apologize to her. His clothes were still wet, and there were even a few seaweeds on his head.

But even so, it did not delay him from kneeling down gracefully and bowing his head gracefully.

Sebastian didn't ask Charlotte why she didn't just summon him back.

Charlotte didn't mention it either.

In fact, she didn't have much to mention. It couldn't be said that she didn't want to consume additional divine power of blood and estimated that the assassin's strength would not pose a threat to her, so she didn't summon the opponent, right?

As for Sebastian... Judging from the frightened look on his face, he might have taken Charlotte's failure to summon him as dissatisfaction with him.

There is a saying that a transcendent who is at the peak of the second level of Silver Moon was betrayed by an assassin who had not even entered the level. It is indeed a bit embarrassing.

"You have indeed slacked off a bit. You should be more cautious in your actions from now on. Don't underestimate any enemy."

Charlotte said calmly.

Sebastian's head lowered:

"Great Master, I will remember this lesson and will never do it again in the future."

"Okay, let's not mention this matter again. Since you are back, then... you must have heard about Madoc, right?"

Charlotte asked as she took a sip of the steaming sweet milk.

"Already... heard what Nice said."

Sebastian replied.

But the expression was a bit gritty, especially when Nice's name was mentioned.

Looking at his expression, Charlotte almost guessed what happened.

I'm afraid that after accepting her order, Nice turned around and went to the door of the Earl's Mansion to wait for Sebas to come back and laugh at him specifically.

These two guys... will never miss the chance to inflict insults on each other if they get the right opportunity.

"Now that you know it, it's easy to explain. I have located the coordinates of the Earl of Blood. I order you to immediately organize people to investigate. If necessary, you can call me to come!"

Charlotte said seriously.

Sebastian looked stern and lowered his head respectfully:

"Your will be obeyed."

"Okay, let's go down and call Viscount Leon Castells in on the way out. I've seen him circling down there many times."

Charlotte glanced at the small square downstairs and said.

"As commanded."

Sebastian bowed and bowed respectfully.

After a while, Viscount Leon-Castell entered the study tremblingly with the support of the maid.

"My Lord Count!"

As soon as the old Viscount came in, he knelt down and worshiped.

His eyes were red and swollen with big dark circles around them, obviously he hadn't had a good night's rest.

Come to think of it, not to mention Madoc's betrayal, which the nobles are still unaware of, the assassin's sneak attack last night was carried out in full view of everyone.

Although the person who committed the attack was not a member of the Len Castel family, the accusations made against Len Castel when the assassin appeared finally pushed them to the forefront...

Some things, said in private and openly, have completely different effects.

In any case, since what happened last night, the old Viscount must come to explain to his lord.

"Get up, I know why you came. In fact, even if you don't come, I plan to call you here again."

Charlotte said.

"Lord Earl! I really don't know about the assassination! As for the Blood Clan... I do have dealings with the Blood Clan, but you know, I am also making false promises in order to dig out their purpose. I... I am right Castel’s loyalty is unwavering!”

The old Viscount said excitedly, his voice becoming a little incoherent.

Charlotte nodded slightly and said gently:

"I know, I have never doubted Len Castel's loyalty."

"Your Majesty the Earl..."

The old Viscount looked moved.

"But... I also got some other information, all related to the Len Castel family."

Charlotte changed the topic, picked up a stack of parchment from the desk, handed it to the attendant maid Shirley, and motioned her to deliver it to the old Viscount.

What was recorded on those parchments was the information reported by other families on Len Castel.

The old Viscount took it tremblingly and began to browse doubtfully. As he browsed, his eyes gradually widened and he trembled slightly:

"Slander! This is slander! Our Leon-Castle family has never done anything like this!"

"Oh? Have you really never done it?"

Charlotte's eyelids were drooped and her expression was slightly cold. At the same time, she mobilized the divine power of blood and directly activated the power of majesty to put pressure on the second-level Viscount of Silver Moon in front of her.

At that moment, Viscount Len Castel felt a surge of supreme power erupt from Charlotte's body.

Obviously he didn't feel any power beyond the stars from the girl in front of him, but he felt a sense of fear and fear for no reason.

"I……"

The old Viscount swallowed, and his scalp suddenly became numb.

"Okay, no need to explain."

Charlotte interrupted:

"Your Excellency Len Castel, I believe in your loyalty. However... as you said, the power of the blood clan has penetrated into all aspects of the territory. I think not everyone in the Len Castel family is like this. You still have your heart.”

"Many things in this information are easy to verify, but I'm afraid they won't stand up to verification. All Castel noble families need to be rectified, and the Leon-Castle family is no exception."

"A lot of the information here is enough for me to take away your family's title, but I don't intend to do that."

"Because I believe you, Your Excellency Viscount, the Lenn-Castle family is the most loyal family among the three viscounts. I believe that even if the things recorded on this are related to the Lenn-Castle family, they are definitely not yours. "

"I'm showing you this information. I have only one purpose, and that is to order you to rectify the family!"

"The past is past. From now on, I don't want to see similar things happen in the territory again!"

"Your Majesty the Earl..."

The old Viscount looked moved.

Charlotte continued:

"Of course, the reason why I trust you so much is because you gave me warning in advance."

"Now that the banquet is over, I can tell you some things frankly. In fact, before the banquet, I already knew that there would be assassins."

The old Viscount was suddenly stunned:

"You...you know?!"

"I have my own intelligence channels."

Charlotte said calmly.

The old Viscount hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask:

"Then why did you..."

"Why do we still have a party?"

Charlotte glanced at the other party and said calmly:

"Because I am also looking for an opportunity, an opportunity to find out the person behind the scenes!"

As she spoke, she chuckled softly and said:

"Actually, it's going well. It's just you and me here. There are some things I can tell you."

"Your Majesty the Viscount, in fact, the vampires of Fallen Star Kingdom have been infiltrating various families in Castel. They were also the masterminds behind last night's assassination."

"However, the assassin last night was not their real killing move. In fact, after I left the venue last night, they carried out another attack on me."

"You...you were attacked again?"

The old Viscount's eyes widened.

"It's okay. The fact that I can stand here and talk to you means that everything has been resolved."

Charlotte nodded and said.

As she spoke, she smiled slightly:

"Your Majesty the Viscount, do you know why I have to tell you so much?"

The old Viscount hesitated for a moment and lowered his head respectfully:

"Subordinate... I don't know."

"Because I have a task that I need you to do. To be more precise, I need you, the Leon-Castle family, to do it."

Charlotte looked solemn and said.

Viscount Len Castel looked serious:

"Please give me a signal, the Leon-Castle family will go all out!"

"I want you to form a review team to review every noble family in the Castel territory and find all the Fallen Star vampires in the territory!"

Charlotte said calmly.

"Examine...examine all noble families?!"

The old Viscount's eyes widened.

"Huh? Is there a problem?"

Charlotte's eyelids drooped.

"My Lord Earl, I'm afraid there is really a problem... This... if all noble families are to be reviewed, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the various vassals and may shake the foundation of the territory..."

"Especially, the vampires behind the scenes are so arrogant, and their power may be beyond our imagination... They will never sit back and watch the review."

The old Viscount said bravely.

"If you are worried about the vampires behind the scenes, you can rest assured that in the next period of time, I'm afraid they will all be leaderless and unable to take care of themselves."

Charlotte chuckled.

"Leadless?"

The old Viscount was stunned for a moment.

Charlotte nodded slightly, took a sip of sweet milk, and said calmly:

"The blood clan that infiltrated Castel is the Ness clan, one of the six major clans of the blood clan, and the organizer behind the scenes is a Blood Earl named Lachlan Ness."

"It was this Blood Count who attacked me again last night!"

As she said that, Charlotte smiled and looked at the old viscount:

"And he... is dead now."

"Dead? A Blood Count... is dead?"

The old viscount was stunned again.

Charlotte did not explain further, but pointed to the sheepskin scrolls piled up in front of the desk:

"As for whether other noble families will object... Heh, if they really want to object, take these things out and show them."

"I just succeeded to the throne. To be honest, I don't want to make a big fuss. I just hope that each family can stick to their original intentions and be loyal to me, but if someone really doesn't have eyes..."

Charlotte's expression turned cold, and she said:

"I don't mind re-enfeoffing some new nobles."
