Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel
Chapter 331: -87- Deep Sleep

Chapter 331: -87- Deep Sleep

Charlotte had thought she could last until half a month later.

But the reality proved that she was struggling to hold on even before ten days had passed.

To prevent falling into deep sleep, she must control herself not to sleep; suppressing the urge to hibernate was necessary, not to mention that no one could go without sleep for ten days to half a month continuously.

Being able to last this long was already considered peculiar for a Bloodline constitution.

"That... Lord Charlotte, have you been too overstrained recently? I think, perhaps you should rest properly and have a good sleep."

In the study, looking at Charlotte who had huge dark circles under her eyes and was yawning every few seconds, barely managing to keep her eyes open, the Bloodline "apprentice maid" Agnes carefully said while holding a tray of tea and snacks.

Charlotte forced herself to perk up and glanced at her, chuckling lightly and calmly responded,

"You don’t need to test me."

"I’ve already said, if you perform your duties well, I will naturally fulfill my promises to you."

Agnes’s face stiffened, and she chuckled dryly:

"How... how could that be?"

"After knowing your true identity, Agnes has completely abandoned the thought of confronting you!"

Charlotte glanced at her sideways:

"So, you’ve switched to secretly investigating my past?"

Agnes froze, her expression somewhat unnatural.

Charlotte sighed, massaging her temples while handing over the newly signed appointment letter for the North Port Mayor to Agnes:

"Deliver this appointment letter to the City Hall, and... for the next while, you and Rahael should work under Sebastian."

This Bloodline... Agnes, although she had chosen to submit, still harbored her private thoughts, and since she couldn’t personally keep an eye on her during the hibernation, she was a potential concern.

Ultimately, Charlotte thought it better to toss her to Sebastian’s management.

She had immense trust in this elf butler who once single-handedly created the largest underworld syndicate in Bold.

After hearing Charlotte’s command, the young Bloodline hesitated.

But seeing Charlotte’s unmistakable expression and recalling the terrifying power she felt in the spiritual world, she ultimately swallowed her saliva meekly, nodded obediently, and exited the study.

After dispatching Agnes and Rahael to work under Sebastian’s wing, Charlotte finally resolved another trouble before her hibernation.

Picking up the milk coffee from the desk, which she’d lost count of how many she had today, she tipped her head back and gulped it down.

However, after so many days, the coffee’s stimulative effects were greatly reduced.

Even if she drank more now, Charlotte found it difficult to concentrate like before.

"The new North Port Mayor has been selected, the plans and directions for the coming months are largely discussed with Sebastian, even Viscount Remisio was notified in advance; if there truly is a rebellion in the territory, Castel can receive external support from the Remisio Family..."

"There’s no new news from the Nais Clan, but... I’ve also told Sebastian how to contact Count Yulster."

"The biggest potential threat is probably that Legendary Bloodline called Maxim, having lost an incarnation, it’s unknown if the incarnation’s memories will be shared with the original..."

"But it shouldn’t be a problem. After all... I directly converted the Dark Night Ancient Castle into a Holy Royal Court Church; my identity should remain concealed."

"Phew... Thinking it through, I’ve done all I could, and arranged everything possible. Castel is too large for me to manage everything directly, now it’s up to Sebastian."

"Considering the time, Sebastian mentioned that the preparations for the safe hibernation are almost complete."

Thinking this, Charlotte put down her feather pen.

She stood up and walked towards the secret chamber in Count Mansion.

The secret chamber in Count Mansion was located within the count’s bedroom, known only to Charlotte, Sebastian, and possibly Nisi.

These two, one being Charlotte’s Blood Favored and the other Charlotte’s Contracted Servant, couldn’t betray her even if she fell into hibernation.

When Charlotte entered the bedroom, Sebastian was making some final preparations, and beside him was the increasingly plump Black Cat, Nisi.

Seeing Charlotte, Sebastian respectfully bowed and elegantly said:

"Great master, your timing is perfect, the place you need for hibernation, I’ve prepared it!"

"The place for hibernation?"

Charlotte paused.

Sebastian nodded, smiling as he said:

"Yes! A sleep chamber! Crafted by the most famous Elf artisans from Moon God Island, it’s absolutely safe, absolutely luxurious, and perfectly matches your status!"

"You can rest assured, I haven’t revealed your identity; when ordering, the other party didn’t know my origin either!"

Crafting?

Custom-made?

Charlotte paused slightly.

She suspiciously entered the chamber, and then she saw in the chamber... a luxurious black coffin.

Charlotte: ...

"Great Lord!"

Sebastian followed her in, introducing with great enthusiasm:

"This coffin, named the Heart of Eternity, is crafted from the core branches of the Tree of Life that has been growing on Moon God Island for a millennium. It is inlaid with six thousand top-grade Magic Energy Crystal Essences and combines Elf magic and Ancient Arcane with twelve layers of high-tier solidification magic. Even a legendary face-to-face wouldn’t be able to shake it in the slightest..."

"The surface sculptures and thorny rose patterns are drawn by the best Elf sculptors. The pigments are a mix of Dragon Blood and Dragon Bone Powder, possessing exceptional magic-guided effects and psychic effects."

"Inside, I have prepared the finest silk from the Far East; it’s soft, absolutely comfortable. Fresh Sleeping Roses and Calming Flowers are also provided around it to assist you in the deepest meditation!"

The more Sebastian described, the more excited he became.

Charlotte’s face, however, turned gloomier.

"So... after all this time you prepared, you’ve come up with this coffin?"

She twitched her mouth, asking.

"Are... you not satisfied?"

Sebastian paused, then asked.

He hesitated for a moment before cautiously adding:

"Lord, this is the best coffin the artisans of Moon God Island could create in a short amount of time. The Elves regularly collaborate with the Nais Clan’s Bloodline, and their craftsmanship is indeed exquisite..."

Charlotte shook her head, her face full of bewilderment:

"No, that’s not what I meant. I wanted to ask... why a coffin?"

This time, Sebastian was puzzled,

"Ah? Didn’t you ask me to prepare a coffin? Isn’t a coffin what the Bloodline uses for their sleep chambers?"

Charlotte: ...

She looked at Sebastian speechlessly, but was at loss for words for a moment.

Feeling the fatigue intensifying, she sighed, saying,

"Let it be, let it be. A coffin it is, then."

Although sleeping in a coffin was still too abstract and avant-garde for Charlotte, given time constraints, she no longer had better options.

Moreover, even though it is a coffin, from Sebastian’s various descriptions, it really does seem like a decent resting place.

Sebastian really put in effort, and in the chamber, aside from the coffin at the center, complex Magic Arrays had already been drawn all around. Even with Charlotte’s mid-level magic abilities, she could feel the extraordinariness; Nisi probably had a hand in it too.

She gently touched the coffin’s richly textured surface, saying to Sebastian:

"Sebastian, during my time of slumber, I entrust you with managing the domain."

"Of course, great Lord. Your faithful Sebastian will protect Castel and await your awakening..."

"Meow! And me! And me!"

Beside Sebastian, the Black Cat Nisi also raised his head proudly.

Charlotte nodded slightly, satisfied as she looked at these two, her favored and servant:

"Then, I entrust everything to the two of you."

With her tolerance for staying awake reaching its limit, Charlotte no longer insisted.

After bidding farewell to her followers, she closed the chamber door, changed into her nightgown, and lay down in the coffin.

And as soon as she lay down, the strong sleepiness overwhelmed her.

Charlotte took only a few breaths before falling deeply asleep...
