Chapter 194: -14- The Last Bloodline of Royal Authority_2

This made her even more curious about the relationship between the Blood True Ancestor and the ordinary Bloodline.

Anna clearly knew quite a few secrets of the Bloodline. However, the current Charlotte was not in a position to ask directly.

At the same time, from the other party’s words, Charlotte also vaguely guessed what the other’s fear was.

Bloodline thrives on blood, and she could even enhance herself by consuming the blood of transcendent beings.

Her battle with the Flame Demon Vararoka had made many things clear—that in the state of True Ancestor Liberation, she too possessed an ability similar to "Blood Sucking," or rather, it was more akin to "Devour."

And as a member of the Bloodline, if they discovered that their newly resurrected Ancestor could "recover" strength through the power of "Devour," aside from those true fanatics, who wouldn’t feel a skip in their heart and harbor doubts and fears?

After all, if one wished to "recover" strength through "Devour," what existence in this world was more suitable for the Blood True Ancestor to "devour" than the Bloodline itself?

That was the power from the same source.

Deities, high and mighty, see mortals as nothing but ants. If consuming ants could restore their power, what would a deity do?

Of course, Charlotte had never considered going down that road.

She was not a real deity, nor was she so bloodthirsty. Unless they were her enemies, she had no reason to persecute others wantonly.

After pondering, she showed a gentle smile and said,

"Lady Anna, allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Charlotte De Castel, the master of the Castel Domain, the Earl of the Northern Territory, a noble of the New Moon..."

Compared to the standpoint of a deity, Charlotte preferred the human standpoint.

A deity’s words would not be without aim. If the other party truly regarded her as a deity, then Charlotte believed that they understood her meaning.

Of course, the more crucial point was that if she always regarded herself as a deity, Charlotte worried that she might gradually begin to believe that she was indeed a deity and lose herself in the power of the Blood Holy Scripture...

After hearing Charlotte’s words, the elderly lady obviously breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully replied,

"Of course, respected Lord Charlotte. You have been kind to the Rose Association, and over the past year, you have helped many shattered families afflicted by the Blood Demon calamity. You... are a true noble."

Charlotte smiled faintly.

She knew that the other party understood.

"So, Lady Anna, please state your purpose."

Charlotte said.

The old lady took a deep breath, pushed the young girl next to her forward, and said respectfully,

"Lord Charlotte, Anna wishes to request that you take Rena in as a refuge..."

Rena...

Charlotte couldn’t help but look at the young girl beside the old lady.

The name was not unfamiliar to her.

If there wasn’t a case of mistaken identity, the one who helped those mercenaries repel the undead yesterday must have been this girl before her.

Charlotte could sense in her a transcendental power that was no weaker than her own, and a kind of kinship originating from the bloodline.

"I can feel her stirring Bloodline Power... Can you tell me the reason?" Charlotte asked.

The old lady replied respectfully,

"Respected Lord Charlotte, Rena’s full name is Rena Parme Kilari..."

"She is the last descendant of the Kilari, and due to other clans’ jealousy, they have never ceased their pursuit for centuries..."

"You are the source of all clans... If possible, I hope you can protect her, protect the last of the Kilari..."

"After all, they were the last clan in the Thousand-Year Holy War to hold firm in the belief that you would return and, indeed, because they consistently tried to hold fast, they were ostracized by the other clans."

Kilari?

The vanished Bloodline of Royal Authority?!

Charlotte’s heart skipped.

She couldn’t help but study the young girl carefully and, with a sudden motion, said,

"Lift your head."

The girl named Rena did not move.

It was only after the old lady nudged her that she timidly raised her head, revealing a pair of reddish-golden eyes filled with timidity and confusion.

"Lord Charlotte, please forgive Rena’s rudeness. Ten years ago, she suffered an attack from the Shedite (Dark Clan), subjected to a curse by the Blood Demon Duke, regressing her mind to that of an eight or nine-year-old..." The old lady sighed deeply.

My goodness! A deity’s curse?

What have I gotten myself into?

Charlotte’s heart skipped a beat.

It seemed that the old woman wanted her to take in the girl, not only for protection but perhaps also hoping that Charlotte could lift the curse upon her.

But no one knows better than oneself.

Charlotte was not a real deity. Even if she used True Ancestor Liberation, her power would at most be of a Legendary level. Purifying the curse of a Demigod would certainly not be easy.

One misstep could even attract the attention of the Demigod.

But she also saw this as an opportunity.

First, there was Agnes who had infiltrated the Bloodline from outside, and then there was Anna, who had left the clan for many years but knew much of the Bloodline’s secrets...

Putting aside the former who had now fled to an unknown place, through the elderly woman before her, Charlotte felt she might be able to deepen her understanding of the Bloodline.

To improve her strength, she couldn’t avoid dealing with the Bloodline.

As her strength grew, she would inevitably enter Bloodline society.

Charlotte felt she had no reason to refuse the allegiance of one who might very well be the last of the Bloodline of Royal Authority in the world, apart from her who needed to further awaken her Bloodline power.

If Mireya’s True Ancestor had fallen, Charlotte could start to build her own Bloodline force using this as a starting point.

And if Mireya’s True Ancestor returned, gathering these forces that once served them would help lessen the awkwardness of her own disguise and, incidentally, might allow her to hold onto coattails, right?

Of course, Charlotte was just thinking.

According to the performances of the Blood Holy Scripture, she was more inclined to believe that the real True Ancestor had indeed fallen and that she herself might be the next True Ancestor chosen by the Blood Holy Scripture or the Bloodline Ancestor.

With this in mind, Charlotte pondered for a moment and said,

"After leaving Bold, many of my maids stayed behind in the manor, so let her stay in Castel. She can start by working with Sebastian, doing whatever she’s capable of."

"As for the curse on her... when the time is right, I will naturally help solve it."

After hearing Charlotte’s words, the old woman was invigorated:

"Thank you, noble Lord Charlotte!"

With that, she hastily urged the girl to pay her respects to Charlotte:

"Rena, pay your respects to the great Ancestor now!"

Urged firmly by the old woman, Rena, bewildered, paid her respects to Charlotte:

"Ancestor..."

"Just call me Count or Lord Charlotte."

Charlotte said.

After speaking, she turned her gaze to the old woman:

"As for you... Miss Anna, for the time being, stay by my side and let us discuss the matters of the Bloodline."

Staying close was for interrogation and also for surveillance and testing; Charlotte had yet to fully trust her.

However, after listening to Charlotte’s words, the old woman fell into a brief silence.

She sighed deeply and said respectfully yet anxiously,

"Lord Charlotte, I thank you for your kindness, but please forgive Anna’s impertinence... after entrusting Rena to you, I will have to leave."

Leaving?

Charlotte was slightly taken aback.

And the girl Rena also trembled slightly, looking up at the old woman with eyes full of reluctance.

"Miss Anna, do you know what you are saying?"

On the other side, Sebastian frowned.

The old woman sighed softly:

"Of course, I know..."

"I understand Lord Charlotte’s intentions, and I believe that Lord Charlotte has the power to grant me more time, but... my spirit cannot deceive itself."

"In this life, I am unlikely to worship any deity, forgive me for not being able to follow you..."

"I know that Lord Charlotte has only recently revived and perhaps has not even reclaimed those sacred memories. I have written down everything I know about the Bloodline into books, which will be presented to you..."

"With Rena entrusted, my last wish has also been fulfilled, and I have no regrets."

The old woman said with relief.

As she spoke, her body began to radiate specks of light and started to dissipate.
