Chapter 349: -103- Castel’s Rebellion

A familiar voice came, drawing the attention of everyone present.

The grand doors of the council hall were gently pushed open, and Charlotte, dressed in a black noble gown, appeared in everyone’s sight.

Sebastian was the first to react.

The Flame Elf almost instantly rose from his seat, his expression filled with surprise.

"Master!"

He quickly knelt on one knee, his right hand placed on his chest as he made a gesture of respect.

Seeing the girl who had entered, the knights and nobles closest to the door were also slightly stunned.

Then, they too stood up one after another, bowing respectfully:

"Count!"

"Count!"

"Count..."

Respectful voices echoed through the council hall like a series of reverberations.

As if triggering a chain reaction, the nobles and knights throughout the hall rose like a field of wheat swaying in the wind, and then bowed one after another:

"Count!"

Charlotte’s gaze slowly swept across the hall.

She gave a slight nod in acknowledgment of the people’s salutations, then stepped forward toward the front of the council hall.

The Personal Guard Knights at the door consciously came forward to meet her.

They lined up on both sides, raising their ceremonial swords, their faces full of reverence, chests puffed out, closely following behind Charlotte.

As Charlotte entered, the nobles spontaneously moved aside, creating a direct path to the front.

Charlotte calmly crossed through the crowd as the nobles on both sides bowed their heads in greeting.

She arrived at the very front of the council hall, her azure eyes looking somewhat amusedly at Viscount Lien Castel, who had also stood up.

The Old Viscount similarly made a trembling gesture of respect, his expression both respectful and excited:

"Count... Lord!"

Charlotte quietly observed him for a moment and nodded slightly, then naturally took her seat at the head of the room.

Her gaze swept across the room as she spoke in a mild manner:

"Please, take your seats; there’s no need to stand."

Upon Charlotte’s command, the nobles then sat back down.

The hall became incredibly quiet, in stark contrast to the previous market-like clamor.

Clearly, although Charlotte had been in the Castel Domain for only a few months, her efforts to eliminate the infiltrating Bloodline had already built a certain level of authority among the nobles!

At least... she had established authority among those nobles who still rallied under the banner of Castel!

"Where had your discussion reached? Oh, right, never mind me for now, this should be a temporary noble assembly convened by Sebastian, right? Continue with your discussion, and I will just listen in for a while."

Charlotte sat in the Lord’s throne, shifting her position for a more comfortable posture, she said.

"Master..."

Sebastian slowly rose, his crimson gaze falling on Viscount Lien Castel, and he said with a light chuckle:

"As you can see, we were just hearing a proposal from Viscount Lien Castel about forming a temporary Regent Cabinet!"

Charlotte’s gaze naturally fell on the Old Viscount.

Her expression did not show any dissatisfaction, but instead, there was a trace of curiosity.

However, under the gaze of her beautiful blue eyes, Viscount Lien Castel felt an immense pressure.

The Old Viscount almost immediately stood up again, hastily explaining:

"Count Lord, please forgive my presumption."

"You have not been seen these past few days, and the people in the land have been restless; my suggestion was only to unify the strength of the Castel nobles..."

"Of course, now that you are safe and sound, there’s certainly no need for a so-called Regent Cabinet anymore, after all, you are the true heart of Castel."

Charlotte nodded slightly:

"Viscount, there’s no need to be so alarmed; as the Lord of Castel, I understand your actions."

Saying this, she looked at Sebastian:

"Sebastian, you have been representing me in overseeing the domain’s matters for some time now. Continue to preside over today’s meeting."

"Yes, Master."

Sebastian made a respectful gesture.

His gaze returned to the nobles in the hall, his confidence now bolstered:

"With the Master present, I suppose none of you still have doubts about the Count Mansion, right? Now... everyone should be willing to follow us and fight against the rebel forces of the Legris Family, right?"

Hearing Sebastian’s words, the nobles in the hall looked at each other and then began nodding their heads one by one:

"Since the Count Lord is unharmed, we naturally pledge our full support to the Count Lord to suppress the rebellion."

"Now that the Count Lord has appeared, the various rumors in the domain are dispelled; we are willing to follow the Count Lord to quell Legris’s revolt!"

"Our Valley Family’s eight hundred soldiers have been assembled and are ready to fight for Castel at any moment!"

"Our Long Family has gathered a thousand soldiers, willing to follow the Count Lord into battle!"

"All for Castel!"

"..."

Even Viscount Lien Castel at the front spoke with respect:

"The Lien Castel Family has also summoned six hundred Light Infantry, two hundred Heavy Infantry, two hundred archers, and a hundred Cavalry, and no fewer than three Transcendent Knights, awaiting orders from the Count Mansion..."

The nobles in the hall expressed their loyalty one after another, citing the number of troops they had mustered.

Listening to the nobles’ vows of undying loyalty, Charlotte nodded slightly, her expression pleased.
