Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel

Chapter 168: -3- Departure_3

Lotti rode on horseback and swiftly arrived in front of the young girl.

She dismounted with a slight apology,

"I’m sorry... Cha... Lord Count, I went to the Grand Cathedral for the transfer orders and was late."

"Just call me Charlotte,"

Charlotte smiled and said.

"Transfer orders? Are they orders for transferring to Castel?"

She asked curiously.

"Yes, after Lord Lawuer’s verification, he found that there were quite a few vacancies for priest positions in the Count Castel Domain, so he helped facilitate a set of transfer orders."

Lotti replied.

Charlotte’s face lit up with joy:

"That’s the best news."

Lotti served at the Church Hospital, whose establishment wasn’t actually a regular Church position. Charlotte had planned to take her to the territory on a private appointment as a noble’s priest.

But things were different now, or rather better.

With the orders, Lotti now had an official Church status, which was like moving from an enterprise position to a civil servant of the Church.

With this as a breakthrough, Charlotte’s future plan to intervene in the Church affairs of Castel and truly grasp great power in her own domain was also possible.

One could only say, it’s easier with the right people on the job.

With Lotti’s arrival, Charlotte no longer felt like lingering.

Under the authority as Count Castel, she ordered to set out.

At her command, knights mounted their horses, merchants and nobles boarded carriages, and Charlotte entered the central, most luxurious carriage of the Castel family fleet with her maid Sherry, accompanied and protected by eight knights of the Starry First Tier.

As for the Black Cat Nisi, it wanted to follow Charlotte into the carriage, but was tossed out by the nape of its neck by the young girl and had no choice but to sadly crawl into the carriage behind to seek comfort from the maids.

Amidst the clatter of hooves, the mighty caravan kicked up dust and began its journey.

Sebastian rode beside Charlotte’s carriage.

However, as he mounted his horse, he felt a sudden stirring in his heart and couldn’t help but glance back at the merchant caravan behind the procession.

"What is it?"

Charlotte lifted the curtain.

"It’s nothing... It might just be my imagination, but it felt like I sensed a familiar presence."

Sebastian withdrew his gaze, saying uncertainly.

At the back of the Castel caravan, in an inconspicuous carriage,

an elderly woman in a gray hood forcefully pulled a curious young girl back inside and said sternly:

"Rena, don’t look around. We have secretly followed along; that person’s perception is beyond your imagination. We must not be discovered."

Hearing the woman’s words, the girl tilted her head in confusion.

The old woman paused, then shook her head:

"No... I don’t mean Sebastian."

She turned her gaze towards the center of the caravan, her weathered face taking on a solemn expression:

"I mean... the one he is following."

...

Meanwhile, in the distant hinterland of the Yonette Empire.

At the center of the Holy Royal Court, within the Great Cathedral of the Church Authority Country’s Capital Mansion,

The brilliantly lit great hall shone as the Chief High Priest of the Holy Royal Court stood up gracefully in front of the solemn Divine Statue.

He gently set down the Holy Scepter in his hand, turned to look at the priests who stood by respectfully, his elderly voice carried a hint of solemnity:

"The reports from various places have come back, and it’s not just the Great Cathedral that has experienced anomalies."

"Go investigate, find out what the source of the anomalies is."

Upon receiving the order, the priests respectfully took their leave.

And the Chief High Priest turned again towards the Divine Statue and devoutly made the sign of the Ring Cross:

"O merciful and supreme Lord..."

"Is it You, who is waking up?"
