Chapter 298: -59- Nais Clan’s Remote Meeting_2

However, looking at the seemingly solid spirit world of the ancient castle, the conference projections that Charlotte had pulled into the spirit world, and the numerous Bloodline nobles at the conference who were being watched without their knowledge, it was difficult for the two of them not to rise a question in their hearts:

Count Castel... Could he truly be just a "Starry"?

"Count Lachlan has fallen? How is that possible?"

"His strength far exceeds that of the average Blazing Sun, and there are no more than five Silver Moons in Castel Domain. How could anyone kill him?"

"What exactly is going on?"

At the conference, Count of Nottingham’s gaze shifted slightly, and he asked with a serious voice.

Count Yulster let out a long sigh and said:

"This information was conveyed to me by the Duke himself. I am not clear on the specifics, but... from the Duke’s attitude, it appears that the Castel family may conceal a power that even the Duke himself fears."

A power that even the Duke himself fears?

The Bloodline nobles at the conference all showed looks of astonishment and then plunged back into commotion.

"The Castel family? But hasn’t the Castel family declined? They have only one young count who has just come of age!"

"Yes, I heard that Count Castel was nearly killed by the Blood Demon Church when he was in the Bold Duchy. How could he pose a threat to Lord Lachlan?"

"Wait, could it be the Holy Royal Court’s intervention? I heard that the young Count Castel is the Saintess of the Holy Royal Court, could it be that there are powerful protectors from the Holy Royal Court in the shadows?"

"Impossible! If she truly were the Saintess of the Holy Royal Court, she would have been personally escorted by the Holy Hall Knight Order before even entering the Count Castel Domain."

The Bloodline nobles were buzzing with discussions.

Watching the chaotic conference, Count Yulster, who presided, tapped on the table and said:

"Silence!"

The overwhelming spiritual power of the Blood Count swept across the conference.

Apart from Nottingham, who was also a count, the virtual projections of the other Bloodline nobles all trembled and quickly fell silent.

Rahael too felt the incomparable and vast spiritual power of the other party.

However, the moment that spiritual pressure swept over, he felt a gentle crimson light envelop him, leaving him untouched by even the slightest pressure.

He couldn’t help but glance over at the diminutive figure on the throne behind him and felt that she was becoming ever more mysterious and unfathomable...

Count Yulster’s gaze swept over the assembly, and seeing everyone quieted to his satisfaction, he nodded and then pronounced gravely:

"I urgently charged the Communication Crystal to summon you all here to convey an order from the Duke..."

"The Duke has commanded that from now on, all infiltration plans against the Castels are to be stopped. No further action is to be taken against any Castel nobility, especially the Castel family!"

Having said that, he turned to look at the Count of Nottingham:

"Count of Nottingham, as you are nearest to the Castels, effective immediately, you will take over all the tasks previously handled by Count Lachlan. However... this is not to continue the advancement, but to quickly reconstruct contacts, restrain all Descendants of Blood and allied Bloodline families, to avoid confrontation, and not to antagonize the Castels!"

At his words, the Nais Bloodline present were once again collectively taken aback.

"Stop the infiltration plans? But... the plans are at their most critical moment, and I have intelligence that Count Castel has plans to move against our people!"

Count of Nottingham couldn’t help but interject.

"Then order a retreat for now! In any case... the Duke has ordered that until he gives new instructions, we must not be enemies of the Castels!"

Count Yulster’s voice was stern.

As he spoke, he looked around at the attendees:

"Moreover, the Duke has one more directive, that we utilize all available resources to investigate any intel related to Countess Charlotte de Castel!"

Investigate Charlotte?

Rahael and Agnes were taken aback.

They instinctively turned their heads, looking at the person behind them in unison, their expressions odd.

"Investigate Charlotte de Castel? Is her involvement the cause of Lachlan’s fall?"

Above the conference, the voice of Count of Nottingham carried a touch of surprise.

Count Yulster nodded slightly:

"I’m afraid so, after all... the day Lachlan Count fell, it was because he sought her out."

Having said that, his gaze fell upon the various Bloodline members present:

"Ladies and gentlemen, many of you have successfully established intelligence points in the New Moon Kingdom. Regarding Charlotte de Castel, what information do you possess? The more detailed, the better!"

"Charlotte de Castel of the Castel family..."

In the meeting, many of the Bloodline members fell into contemplation.

"I’ve heard that she continues the Castel family’s legacy of beauty, touted as the ’Pearl of Bold,’ and is considered the most beautiful maiden in the Silver Moon Kingdom."

One of the Bloodline members pondered and spoke solemnly.

"If I remember correctly, an ancestor of the Castel family once married an Elf, and she does have some Elven bloodline, though diluted. She could be considered a Half-Elf."

Another Bloodline member mused for a moment and said.

"I’ve heard a rumor that Count Castel’s mother came from the Falling Star Kingdom, and moreover... it seems she was from the Falling Star Royal Family..."

Yet another Bloodline member couldn’t help but speak up.

Upon hearing this, many Bloodline eyes turned to the Count of Nottingham.

The Count of Nottingham’s eyes flickered slightly as he said:

"It is ’Devout’ Annie from the Roman family, a secret of their family not widely known."

"’Devout’ Annie? Princess Annie? ’Foolish’ Henry’s half-sister from the same father? Edward III’s half-sister from the same mother? But wasn’t she said to have died of a chill?"

A Bloodline member asked curiously.

"A chill? Wasn’t it said that, fearing her threat to the throne, ’Foolish’ Henry poisoned her to death?"

Another Bloodline member questioned doubtfully.

Count Nottingham shook his head:

"No, no, ’Devout’ Annie fell in love with the previous Count Castel during his visit to the Falling Star and later forsook her right to the throne to follow him to the New Moon Kingdom, assuming a new identity."

Hearing his words, some Bloodline members’ gaze flickered:

"Does that mean... behind Count Castel, there might be the protection of the Roman family?!"

Count Nottingham shook his head again:

"No, that’s not possible. The Purple Lilac clan is now in power within the Roman family. Although Edward III is blood-related to ’Devout’ Annie, in truth, they share little affection. Besides, ’Devout’ Annie’s choice of New Moon is seen more as a betrayal by the Roman family..."

"If behind Count Castel there truly lies a force that even the Duke fears, it must be something else."

Upon hearing Count Nottingham’s words, the Bloodline members present fell into renewed discussion.

Spectators at the meeting, Rahael and Agnes, showed expressions of astonishment.

’Devout’ Annie?

Princess Annie?

Count Castel... Has such a significant background?

Charlotte felt her temple throbbing wildly.

She didn’t expect the real story of her identity that she was so curious about to be decrypted at a Nais Bloodline meeting.

And to think that it was all true—she was indeed a princess from the Falling Star Kingdom, even the sister shared by the former and current kings!

This... sounded like quite a messy affair.

Watching the Bloodline members embroiled in discussion, Count Yulster scanned the room and spoke in a deep voice:

"These are all matters of the past. Aside from this, does anyone else have any information regarding Count Castel?"

The Bloodline members fell into silence.

After a while, one of them said tentatively:

"Well, now that you mention it, I do recall a rumor..."

"When Count Castel was in Bold, he seemed to have been involved in a case of an Evil God’s descent..."
