Chapter 296: -58- Pretend to submit, later retaliate!_2

"Duke had died in the first Roman Battle, but it was not entirely due to losing the battlefield; instead, he was ambushed by Falling Star Legend during the retreat..."

"Rather than fixating on revenge, perhaps it would be better for us to let go of everything and focus all our efforts on reviving the family."

Upon hearing Rahael’s words, Agnes’s expression changed immediately.

She angrily slammed the table and said,

"It’s impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Castel is Willert’s enemy, we can never reconcile, never!"

"Rahael, never say such things again! Remember! Even if we submit temporarily, it is just a lurking! Today’s forbearance is for future victory!"

"Rebuilding the family and revenge are equally important!"

Watching the young girl’s resolute expression, the middle-aged knight sighed,

"Alright, I’ll listen to you."

"Let’s not talk about this now, Rahael. Count Castel suddenly wants to recruit us; what do you think is going on?"

Agnes waved her hand and asked.

Rahael thought for a moment and said,

"Since he mentioned impersonating Count Hall, it might be related to the Communication Crystal. When I just came out of the cell, I saw many nobles and several officials from North Port being detained; it seems that something must have happened with Castel during the days we were detained."

Agnes nodded,

"I think so too."

After pondering for a moment, she said,

"The Nais Clan’s plan at the banquet definitely failed, not only that, Castel’s minor count might have used the dinner to expose many of their people, maybe...just like the previous times, the Nais Clan had activated the Communication Crystal in advance."

At this point, Agnes’s eyes flashed,

"Rahael."

"I’m here, Miss."

"Count Castel doesn’t know that you and I can both activate the Communication Crystal independently. Therefore, if he asks us to impersonate Count Hall, we’ll tell him we must both be involved."

"We both need to be involved?"

"Yes, as always, you take care of impersonating Count Hall, and I’ll handle the operation of the crystal..."

Rahael felt a stir in his heart,

"What you mean is..."

Agnes narrowed her eyes,

"Charlotte dares to let us disguise ourselves; she probably has a way to prevent us from revealing secrets to the Nais Clan during the meeting..."

"Although I don’t know what method she’ll use to monitor us, the working principle of the Communication Crystal is a remote connection of spirit. She might know that you, impersonating Count Hall, will be at the meeting, but she will never suspect that the operator of the crystal could also secretly open a spiritual channel and maintain covert contact!"

A jolt went through Rahael’s heart,

"You intend to contact the Nais Clan?"

Agnes nodded,

"Exactly; the enemy of our enemy is our friend. Although I don’t truly trust those sly Bloodlines from the Falling Star Kingdom, our goals align when it comes to dealing with Castel."

"I believe they wouldn’t refuse a ’friend’ who could secretly provide them with information on Castel."

Saying this, Agnes smiled,

"Rahael, you worry that the gap between Count Castel and us will widen over time. But what if we were to hold them back?"

Watching his young lady’s eyes glimmer, Rahael hesitated, ultimately swallowing the words he wanted to say.

Frankly, given their previous attempts, he wasn’t confident in his lady’s plan.

He always felt that Count Castel was eerily shrewd; it’s likely he might have a method to completely prevent any private contact with the Nais Bloodline.

Just then, the door of the Meditation Room creaked open, and Charlotte, dressed in meditation clothes, elegantly walked in.

The young girl and the knight immediately fell silent.

Charlotte, smiling gleefully, appraised the two dressed in maid and knight outfits and nodded approvingly,

"Not bad, quite fitting."

Watching her gaze appraising them as if they were amusing toys, Agnes pursed her lips, her fists hardening.

"Count, what exactly do you want by bringing us here?"

Rahael stepped in front of Agnes and asked in a deep voice.

Charlotte didn’t pause, instead, she took out the twinkling Communication Crystal,

"The Nais Clan’s Communication Crystal has responded; they seem to be calling a meeting ahead of schedule. I want to go to the meeting place with you."

Together?

The girl and the knight were both stunned momentarily.

"Do you... also plan to operate the Communication Crystal?"

Agnes couldn’t help asking.

"Me? No, of course, it should be operated by you all. I’m just an observer."

Charlotte shook her head.

An observer?

Agnes became even more puzzled.

She exchanged a glance with Rahael and said,

"We can help you disguise your identity, but... to ensure the effect, we need to operate as we did before, one person managing the crystal and another disguising the identity!"

"Alright."

Charlotte nodded.

So straightforward?

Agnes couldn’t help but glance at Charlotte.

Up till now, Charlotte hadn’t shown them any methods she would use to prevent them from leaking information while disguising their identities, which didn’t reassure the girl but rather made her more hesitant.

You must know, Charlotte hadn’t even signed a contract with them!

However, at this point, Agnes had no more room for hesitation.

She exchanged a look with Rahael, subtly nodded, and began to place her hand on the Communication Crystal to channel her magic power to activate it.

A familiar power spread from the crystal, verifying the Bloodline power.

Gradually, the crystal began to emit a dreamy glow, and Agnes felt her spiritual power connecting with the crystal ball.

The connection was successful!

Agnes was uplifted.

"It’s activated now, Rahael can start getting ready for the meeting."

She said discreetly to Charlotte, prepping herself to open a secret spiritual channel.

However, just at that moment, Charlotte interrupted their actions,

"Hold on a second."

She gave a faint smile and closed her eyes.

And when she opened them again, her azure eyes had turned golden red.

A terrifying spiritual power suddenly erupted from her, and in Agnes’s astonished gaze, the crimson light swallowed the whole world.

Agnes felt a wave of dizziness, suddenly the world spun around her.

Then, the ground split apart, somber black stone walls rising from the ground, layer upon layer of steps ascending amidst the crimson mist...

In an instant, Agnes found herself in a majestic ancient castle, while Charlotte sat majestically on a formidable Blood Throne, her regular attire transformed into an ornate black gown adorned with patterns of thorns and roses.

The Communication Crystal hovered in mid-air, appearing somewhat ethereal, more like a projection than a real object, and Agnes and Rahael still maintained their touch on the crystal.

Feeling the ubiquitous spiritual power around her, Agnes widened her eyes, filled with disbelief:

The spiritual world!

This is the spiritual world!

She had been pulled into the spiritual world by the opponent!

Dammit, what kind of person was this Count, that she could directly drag someone’s consciousness into her own spiritual world?!

Is this... isn’t this something only a Legendary being could achieve?!

No no no... Just the ability to construct such a realistic spiritual world was absurd enough!

She she she... was she really just a Starry?

This had nothing to do with any secret communication with the Nais Clan!

Watching Charlotte, who sat on the throne wearing a smile that was not quite a smile, Agnes’s expression was a spectacle.

As the daughter of a Legendary figure, she was not unfamiliar with the spiritual world.

In the spiritual world, every little move of an outsider was completely unhidden, and even their life and death were in the hands of the master...

In other words, she and Rahael were now being observed by Charlotte in 360° without any blind spots, and she had the ability to sever their connection with the Communication Crystal at any moment.

"Alright, now... you can start disguising your identities and enter the meeting of the Nais Clan."

Charlotte shifted to a more comfortable position, smiling slightly.

Agnes: ...
