Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel
Chapter 235: -31- Truly worthy of the Count!

Chapter 235: -31- Truly worthy of the Count!

"Count Castel, it has been many years."

Viscount Remisio greeted Charlotte with a slight bow and smiled at the graceful young lady:

"I didn’t expect so many years to have passed, and now you resemble your mother, Lady Annie... um, you are beautiful."

Charlotte: ...

Why does everyone who tries to compliment her on growing up always subtly change their tone after glancing at her height?!

Is it just because she is a bit petite and looks a bit youthful?

Had she known this would happen, she wouldn’t have seized the old witch’s power while hanging on the cross—even becoming a Bloodline, she should have waited to develop further!

Listening to Viscount Remisio’s tactful praise, Charlotte felt full of regrets.

Meanwhile, the mayhem completely overwhelmed the senior steward of the mining workshop:

"Lord Remisio, this isn’t what we agreed on..."

"What are you standing around for? Why haven’t you taken this criminal, who defamed the Kingdom Nobles, away yet?"

Viscount Remisio cast a dissatisfied glance at the soldiers and commanded sharply.

Following his order, Kingdom soldiers roughly gagged the senior steward of the mining workshop and dragged him away.

Charlotte’s gaze followed the terrified senior steward as he disappeared among the troops, while Viscount Remisio bowed again and said:

"My apologies, Count Castel. I was not aware that this man dared to lay hands on the Kingdom Nobles, being deceived to believe he actually represented the Castel family."

"Um... I just heard that the chief steward Kode was executed by you for betraying the family?"

Charlotte withdrew her gaze from the senior steward, smiled faintly, and spoke:

"Kode was not a member of the Castel family; he was a spy planted by some coveters. Over the years, he has harmed miners, stolen Castel’s Mithril, and falsely reported the exhaustion of the Mithril mine, committing heinous crimes, and has been rightfully executed."

Charlotte’s words were not loud.

However, they quickly stirred up a new commotion among the crowd:

"What? Was the disappearance of the miners related to Steward Kode?"

"Ugh! These stewards... Completely corrupt!"

"The Mithril mines... haven’t actually dried up?"

"I knew it! The mines on the Royal Family’s side are fine, how could there be a problem with the Castel’s mine?"

Viscount Remisio’s eyes twitched:

"Oh? So the Castel Mithril mine has not dried up?"

"Of course."

Charlotte nodded slightly.

Viscount Remisio breathed a sigh of relief:

"That’s wonderful news; the veins have always been connected. You don’t know, Count, when the news of the Castel family’s Mithril mine exhaustion reached the Royal Capital, it was said that the King had been worried that all the Mithril mines in Castel might be problematic, but now that the truth is out, it was a false alarm."

"Yes, a false alarm indeed..."

Charlotte sighed slightly, her expression contemplative:

"I never thought that after so many years away from our domain, so many worms would appear, misleading and daring to attack me."

"They attacked you?!"

Viscount Remisio seemed genuinely shocked:

"Who would have the audacity to assault a member of the Kingdom Nobles?"

Charlotte shook her head and sighed:

"It was many days ago; I was ambushed before I entered the Count Territory, but fortunately, strong protectors were there, and we turned defeat into victory..."

She continued, disgruntled:

"Now that I think about it, those who ambushed me probably had ties to these traitors, merely not wanting me to return to the Castel Domain. They even dared to smear Prince Philip, it’s despicable!"

"Third Prince?"

Hearing a particular name, Viscount Remisio became visibly more alert.

Despite his fierce appearance, his perked ears and enthusiastic expression made him look like a village aunt thrilled with gossip.

"Yes, they even slandered Prince Philip, saying he was the one who moved against me..."

Charlotte spoke somewhat indignantly.

After finishing, she sighed and did not elaborate further:

"It’s all in the past now; I apologize for making you see such things."

Viscount Remisio, however, seemed particularly intrigued by Charlotte’s unfinished statements, clearly straightening up to hear some gossip.

Yet, seeing Charlotte reluctant to continue, he was curious but did not push further.

"Um... Count, now that the truth is clear, I won’t delay you any further in handling your family affairs. I will visit again once things have settled down."

Viscount Remisio scratched his head and said.

"That’s only natural, I truly appreciate your timely arrival today, helping me suppress these villains."

Charlotte said with a smile.

"Haha, if you need anything, you can contact me anytime. I’m stationed outside the Silver Mining City and can certainly help suppress a few traitors."

Viscount Remisio laughed heartily.

After speaking, he again performed a noble courtesy to Charlotte and then hurriedly left with the brightly equipped Kingdom army.

Charlotte withdrew her gaze from the departing Kingdom soldiers and looked toward the mine guards in front of her.

This time, the mine guards did not hesitate.

Led by two tier-entering officers, hundreds of guards knelt before Charlotte on one knee, creating a large uniform formation, their voices resonant in the night:
