Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel
Chapter 325: -81- Devour and Forget

Chapter 325: -81- Devour and Forget

"Holy Scripture Fragments...? You... You mean the Blood Holy Scripture?"

Yulster asked in surprise.

Charlotte glanced at him:

"Is there any other Holy Scripture?"

Yulster hurriedly lowered his head, fearfully said:

"No, there isn’t, I understand, I understand, I will do it, I will do it!"

Watching him in such genuine fear and trepidation, Charlotte was truly curious about what kind of shadow the Blood True Ancestor must have cast to make him so terrified.

To be honest, if it was just about being devoured, that shouldn’t be enough to scare him to death, should it?

Or is it that to the eternally living Bloodline, death is what they fear the most?

Charlotte wasn’t sure.

But since he was so frightened of her, it did save her a lot of trouble.

"Since that is the case, then the contract between us is established..."

Charlotte said.

As she spoke, a flash of light appeared in her hand, and a goblet filled with crimson blood materialized.

With a gentle wave of her hand, the goblet flew towards Yulster:

"Drink it, as a testament to our agreement."

The blood in the goblet was, of course, necessary for the Blood Favored contract Charlotte intended to sign.

This was originally prepared for Sherry, but Sherry had declined. Now that her identity had been inadvertently exposed by Yulster, it was necessary to bind him to a contract to keep him silent.

After all, Yulster was a Blood Count. Even though Charlotte could suppress him in the spirit world using her Blood Divine Power, once back to reality, it would be a different matter.

The Blood Count - that is the Blazing Sun!

Not to mention the great distance between them.

Without Nisi present, she couldn’t sign the Servant’s Oath, and she still needed to protect him from the Blood Servant Contract of the Legendary Bloodline. Therefore... the best method was to directly sign this highest level Blood Covenant, which disregarded their respective strengths and distances.

The most important aspect of this Blood Covenant is that both parties consent willingly.

Although signing it would take up one of Charlotte’s Blood Favored positions, it also meant that the other party would lose the possibility of betraying her and be completely tied to her chariot.

The risks of her "True Ancestor" identity were greater than she had imagined. Until she gained sufficient strength, it was better to keep her identity hidden and eliminate any risks that could expose her.

Having snagged a Bloodline Count from the Nais clan for nothing, Charlotte felt it was quite a good deal.

Such an old monster that had lived for thousands of years must know a lot, enough for her to learn many of the Bloodline’s secrets.

As for loyalty, well, first things first – take advantage of the situation and see how things go.

"The... The Favored Contract’s Blood?!"

Seeing the floating goblet, Yulster widened his eyes, his face filled with fear.

Hmm?

Fear?

Charlotte paused, unsure why he would be afraid of the contract blood she had offered...

After all, Sebastian had considered it a divine gift!

"What are you afraid of? What are you hesitating about?"

She felt a stir in her heart and asked.

"No...I...I’m not...I...I’m not!"

Watching the blood in the goblet, Yulster’s complexion grew even paler.

He bit his lip as if making a difficult decision and, trembling, took the goblet with the resolve of someone facing their end.

Then, he closed his eyes, pinched his nose, and drank the blood of the contract like it was poison.

The crimson blood gulped down, a faint red glow blossomed around Yulster, and at the same time, Charlotte felt a new bond within the depths of her bloodline.

However, unlike Sebastian, Charlotte could sense a faint connection at the very depths of the Crimson Star Sea, symbolized by one of the giant stars belonging to the five Bloodline Princes.

Charlotte felt a slight stir in her heart and quickly realized that it was the spiritual link with Cosy, the Blood Favored Demigod of the Yulster and Nais clan, known as the Stargazer.

But the moment her contract with Yulster was established, this ephemeral connection began to dim and eventually completely dissipated.

Charlotte knew that this meant the contract of Blood Favored had successfully usurped that Prince.

Regardless of whether Yulster had previously been under the surveillance of the Blood Favored Demigod of the Nais clan, from now on, the Blood Favored Demigod of the Nais clan could no longer focus his attention on him.

Truth be told, Charlotte was quite nervous about poaching a Blood Favored Demigod, but fortunately, she had not drawn his attention.

Of course, another reason was that the location where the contract was signed was within her realm of consciousness, her home turf.

With the contract successfully signed, Yulster had a look of utter defeat and dejection, but when he saw Charlotte looking at him, he mustered a pained smile.

"Do you seem very reluctant to become my Blood Favored?" Charlotte asked.

"H-happy, of course happy..." Yulster replied unwillingly.

Charlotte’s brow furrowed slightly.

It seemed this guy had grown accustomed to hiding his thoughts.

When answering her questions now, he no longer revealed his inner emotions.

"I want to hear the truth," she said, feigning dissatisfaction, her voice cold.

Yulster’s scalp tingled in fear.

He gritted his teeth and blurted out resentfully, "Well... I... I am really conflicted. After all, becoming your Favored means establishing a link with your power, and there’s always the possibility of being Devoured by you..."

"I won’t lie to you, I am really afraid of death, but more than death, I fear being Devoured by you and forgotten by the world..."

"Rather than being Devoured by you, I would prefer death..." After speaking, Yulster seemed to have released some mental burden, collapsing powerlessly to the ground.

Forgotten by the world? Charlotte frowned thoughtfully.

At that moment, she felt a stir in her heart, sensing that the time limit for the Blood Summon was about to expire.

After a moment’s thought, she said, "Let’s stop here for today, remember the contract between us."

"The contract is sealed; you have my protection. I will always be watching over you, and I hope you will fulfill your promises..."

With that, she waved her hand, and the crimson mists began spreading throughout the ancient castle.

Feeling the pull of a force once again, Yulster hurriedly said, "True Ancestor, are you really not going to Devour me?"

"It depends on your actions in the future," came the ethereal voice, drifting away.

...

After the Blood Summon ended, Charlotte dissolved the spiritual realm of the Dark Night Ancient Castle and returned to the reality of her study.

However, she didn’t dispel her Blood Divine Power; instead, she delved back into her consciousness, reconnecting to Yulster’s perspective through the link of the Blood Favored.

The Blood Summon might be over, but Yulster’s situation had not yet concluded.

As she released the Blood Summon, Charlotte sensed an approaching powerful presence.

Maxim, the elder of the Nais clan who was in Yulster’s mind, was likely returning.

Half a month had elapsed, and Charlotte was finally going to face a Legendary Bloodline indirectly once more.
