Chapter 288: -54- Charlotte’s Counterattack_2

"Look at what you are saying! When Nisi takes action, it is always swift!"

"Oh? From your tone, it seems it didn’t take much time?"

"Hehe, not at all! If it were someone else, maybe, but it was Madoc. We are very familiar with the Taboo Magic Pattern on him. There are a thousand ways to make him talk!"

Watching Nisi’s proud demeanor, Charlotte recalled the Divine Technique Counter text she had seen and suddenly had a thought, asking:

"Nisi, do you know about the Legendary Mage Nicholas?"

"Ah? Nicholas? Who is that? I don’t know, I don’t recognize!"

Black Cat Nisi quickly shook his head like a bobblehead.

That thoughtless denial was all too familiar to Charlotte.

That scoundrel always acted this way when harboring secrets.

Charlotte gave him a deep look and suddenly smiled,

"Speaking of which, I seem to have never seen you pray to the Contract God. Aren’t you a devout Contract believer?"

"Ah... well, Lord Charlotte, you are unaware that I actually pray to the great Contract God privately every day... um, praise the Contract!"

Nisi’s cat face turned serious, and he stretched out his paw to draw a scale symbol of the Contract God Mitra in front of him, praying solemnly.

Though his actions didn’t seem very practiced.

Charlotte quietly watched him, remaining silent.

Feeling the oppressive gaze of Charlotte, Nisi shifted his gaze away, feeling somewhat guilty.

He cleared his throat twice, and a flash of light in his paw revealed a register:

"Lord Charlotte, this is the list Madoc confessed to, all Nobles and Officials in your Directly Administered Domain who have been infiltrated by the Nais Clan."

As he spoke, his expression grew strange:

"I must say... it’s really amazing how your Directly Administered Domain has held up until today. I took a good look at the register, and it’s practically full of holes."

Charlotte: ...

Although she knew this fellow was trying to change the subject, she had to admit he had succeeded.

Charlotte no longer pursued Nisi’s secrets but instead took the register to browse through it, her eyelids twitching:

"This many?"

"Hey, the good luck is that there are almost no Bloodline among them, and most of those who were infiltrated are just peripheral Nobles and City Hall Officials. After all, your Directly Administered Domain is the core of the Holy Royal Court in the Northern Land. Even if the priests are slack, I suppose the Nais Clan didn’t dare to mess around too much..."

"So should I be thanking the Holy Royal Court now?"

Charlotte couldn’t help but retort.

But after a thought, she nodded in deep agreement:

"In various senses, it seems I really should give thanks to the great Divine Lord..."

"Praise the Holy!"

Charlotte also made a Ring Cross symbol on her chest, her movements much smoother than Nisi’s.

Having said that, she handed the register back to Nisi, complimenting him:

"Well done! Now that we have the list, let’s move on to arrest them. Not one person on this list should be spared, confiscate all their possessions! The expansion plan for North Port also needs a lot of funds; this first sum will be taken from them."

"Lord Charlotte, there are quite a few people on the list, are you sure you want to proceed?"

"Proceed, of course, we are going to proceed. I have already decided to act against the Nobles, why would I spare the Directly Administered Domain? It is our foundation."

Charlotte said without hesitation.

Nisi seemed quite pleased with the use of "our", his tail even more perked up.

But at the same time, he was a bit puzzled:

"Lord Charlotte, I know you want to control the territory as soon as possible, but here’s the issue—are you really not worried about the territory descending into chaos? I remember you previously mentioned wanting to keep things stable?"

Charlotte smiled and said,

"That was before, when I wasn’t aware of the extent to which the Nais Clan had infiltrated the territory. Naturally, I was wary, but now..."

Her gaze flickered as she continued:

"The infiltration by the Nais Clan into the territory is indeed severe, but perhaps for efficiency or to maintain balance, they haven’t unified the infiltrated noble forces..."

"That’s evident from the Nobles reporting on one another; even though they have infiltrated the Nobility, their power is still loose sand, each acting independently."

"Maybe it was fine while Lachlan Count was alive, but with his death, the Nais Clan’s control was bound to be significantly weakened, and regaining control over the infiltrated forces is not something that can be done quickly, after all... underground work is inherently difficult."

"In that case, I naturally have to seize this opportunity."

After finishing, Charlotte stroked her chin,

"Speaking of which, the fact that the Blood Duke didn’t hesitate to kill Lachlan Count also surprised me. A Blood Count is not a minor character, and for him to act so decisively, I would believe they had personal enmity..."

"The Bloodline uses blood ties as a bond, such actions are indeed surprising. It can only mean either the Nais Clan is hiding deeper secrets, or the Duke really had a grudge against Lachlan Count..."

"I figure, it’s likely that there are also factions within the Nais Clan, perhaps they are not as united as we imagined."

Nisi nodded,

"Alright, I understand, but... why are you assigning this task to Lien-Castel? Don’t tell me you really think they are that loyal?"
