Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel

Chapter 257: -40- You are definitely not the average Bloodline!

Indeed, if Charlotte put herself in Agnes’s shoes, knowing that behind Count Hall there were three counts and a duke, she felt she herself might have fled long ago.

The audacity Agnes displayed by daring to impersonate someone else was truly brave.

"Have all these three counts... arrived in Castel?"

Charlotte asked again.

Agnes shook her head:

"I’m not sure, we’ve only seen them during meetings, and even then we couldn’t clearly see each other. If it weren’t for Count Hall using a special magical artifact to disguise his real voice every time, we wouldn’t even be able to impersonate him."

"However, from the few words at the meetings, it’s highly likely that Count Yulster is remotely commanding from the Falling Star Kingdom. As for the Count of Nottingham, whenever Count Yulster asks him something, it’s always about the Romany Duchy. It’s very possible he’s stationed there, overseeing issues involving Castel. They always ask us and Lachlan Count, particularly the latter, so it’s plausible that Lachlan Count is the one who has definitely come to New Moon."

So, is it possible that only Lachlan Count was personally involved in infiltrating the nobility of Castel?

Getting this answer, Charlotte felt somewhat relieved.

The pressure brought by three Blazing Suns and one Legendary was quite substantial. However, if only one Blazing Sun was involved in the penetration into Castel, the situation became much easier to handle.

This also aligned with the current situation in Castel.

To be fair, if there were actually three Blazing Suns acting against Castel, Charlotte felt that her family’s territory would have already changed hands by now.

However, in reality, although Castel had been severely infiltrated, she still managed to maintain a certain level of control.

This could be seen from the fact that the nobles still needed to use rumors to attack her credibility in the territory.

Only a still-threatening presence would be targeted with such low tactics.

And meanwhile, with only Lachlan Count involved in Castel’s infiltration, it indicated that the Nais Clan’s aims were not merely against Castel.

If it were only against Castel, it would be unlikely that a single count would act while the others just watched.

Charlotte felt it more likely that this signified the Nais Clan’s schemes were grander than controlling Castel alone, with the infiltration being a necessary part of their plans, each count having their own assignments.

This was actually a good thing!

It meant that as long as Charlotte was careful, she should not yet attract the attention of the Blood Duke.

She really did not want to deal with the Blood Duke. Being a Blood Duke, he must be a favored individual among the nobles of the Bloodline, and any carelessness could attract true Mythical beings.

However ...

Count Hall disguised his identity at meetings?

Noticing this detail mentioned by Agnes stirred something in Charlotte’s mind.

Disguising oneself in a meeting among one’s own group seemed redundant unless they weren’t truly allies.

This suggested that Count Hall and the Nais Clan were merely collaborators, even possibly wary of each other.

This could also explain why problems arose with Count Hall, yet the Nais Clan had been completely unaware.

However, even with Count Hall having troubles, the Nais Clan’s plans continued, indicating that the matters Count Hall was responsible for might not have been very significant.

Or perhaps, they were not things that required him to be too personally involved.

Considering the main activities of the Returning Star United Commerce investigated by Sebastian seemed centered around acquiring Mithril, Charlotte speculated that Count Hall was probably responsible for the Mithril’s transition.

This was indeed important.

However, if the operations of the commerce were already on the right track, then Count Hall, being the person behind the scenes, was not so crucial anymore.

Thinking this, Charlotte asked again:

"On normal days... during meetings, do they communicate a lot with you?"

Agnes hesitated, and then answered:

"Well, actually, in most cases, we are just listeners; they don’t ask us many questions. I always feel... they seem to wary of us too."

"However, thanks to this, we were able to keep disguising ourselves."

Hearing Agnes’s response, Charlotte’s expression grew strange.

Count Hall faced issues, yet the Nais Clan did not detect the problem, and they even guarded against Agnes and her peers during meetings.

This sounded... like perhaps Count Hall had already been sidelined by the Nais Clan.

"Besides the three Blood Counts, did Count Hall previously associate with anyone else?"

Charlotte thought for a while and then asked.

"I’m not sure; I was only his maid before, and had his trust for just three years."

Agnes shook her head.

But then it seemed she remembered something and said thoughtfully:

"However... he seemed to have a good relationship with the elves; I remember seeing elves visiting him occasionally at the castle back then."

Elves?

Charlotte’s mind stirred.

At this moment, she recalled the Nais Clan’s branch in Moon God Island.

Gicod had mentioned, the plan of the Nais Clan involved the elves of Moon God Island too; perhaps Count Hall’s tasks were also linked to this?

"Didn’t you investigate at all what they were actually doing?"

Charlotte couldn’t help but ask.

"I told you, we didn’t dare to!"

"Since you didn’t dare to investigate what they were truly doing, why risk impersonating Count Hall?"
