Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel

Chapter 403: -151- Division

"Does the Count intend to control the Magic Defense System herself?"

"Has she gone mad? Even Chairman Layton can barely manage it, and even if she’s a genius, there’s no way she can maintain the entire Magic Shield in such a state!"

"What on earth is she thinking?"

"At first she insisted on maintaining the shield at full strength, and now it’s also her who’s reluctantly weakening the shield, this is... this is just..."

"It’s simply reckless!"

"Yes! Reckless!"

"Lord Lien Castel, won’t you advise the Count again?"

"And to think she still hopes for divine intervention, this is utterly absurd!"

Outside the Mage Tower, the nobles buzzed with discussions, no longer able to contain their dissatisfaction with Charlotte and poured out their woes to Viscount Lien Castel.

Feeling the nobles’ resentment, Viscount Lien Castel also had a headache.

Honestly, he felt that his lord’s recent actions were utterly incomprehensible.

You say you want to protect the civilians, but don’t consider that fully deploying the Magic Shield might cause the collapse of the entire Magic Defense System of North Port.

You say there are reinforcements, but up to now, she hasn’t specified when the reinforcements will arrive or their strength.

The nobles are all kept in the dark, knowing nothing and seeing no hope.

Seriously, as far as Viscount Lien Castel sees it, such actions are simply eroding the nobles’ trust in her.

He even felt that, even up to this point, Charlotte doesn’t fully trust them.

This also made Viscount Lien Castel feel quite uncomfortable.

Remember, the nobles of North Port had all shown their loyalty to Charlotte by the Don River.

And being able to defend North Port together also shows that they truly support each other.

But the way she behaves chills their hearts.

Honestly, such actions... are really prone to causing trouble.

If it were not for Count Gaston’s troops also stationed in North Port, if it were not for the presence of the Regular Transcendents for suppression, the Old Viscount feels that some nobles might have already rebelled by now!

Of course, although he also feels dissatisfied with Charlotte’s various actions, as a supporter of the Castel, Viscount Lien Castel can only bite the bullet and clean up after her:

"Everyone, please don’t be anxious, the Lord might have her own considerations..."

Of course, such a response could not suppress the nobles’ dissatisfaction:

"Considerations? What considerations could she possibly have? At the end of the day, she’s just a 16-year-old child!"

"Yes! Viscount, I admit that the Countess’s decisive actions were admirable at first, but it doesn’t mean she can’t make mistakes!"

"Exactly, the Magic Shield is an example, she sees everything too simply!"

"Viscount... mistakes in war can be fatal! We can’t gamble with everything!"

"..."

The nobles continued to grumble and complain.

From denying Charlotte’s actions, to questioning her capabilities, to their pessimistic and worried views on the entire war prospect...

Not only that, some even began discussing whether the Third Prince, who is attacking Castel, can be trusted.

"Actually, I think... perhaps the Third Prince is not as incompetent as the rumors suggest..."

"Yes, after all, he is a noble of the Royal Family; can he really turn against us after he takes down Castel?"

"Our families have deep-rooted power in Castel; if he forcibly strips us of our titles, the Northern Land will definitely revolt!"

"That’s right, even the Countess hasn’t acted against us, but only cleared those nobles who sheltered the Bloodline!"

"..."

Listening to the nobles’ increasingly outrageous discussions, Viscount Lien Castel’s expression changed, and he scolded:

"Enough! What are you all talking about?!"

"Even if the Countess is wrong, the Third Prince is not a wise leader either. Have you all forgotten the news brought by Count Gaston?!"

"Since we stand here, we must unite and defend North Port!"

He glanced at the Mage Tower and said,

"I will go and speak with the Count again, I must persuade her to adjust the defense strategy."

"Everyone, disband now, stick to your posts, and protect North Port well."

"Don’t worry, everyone, there’s still time..."

Hearing the Old Viscount’s words, the nobles opened their mouths, wanting to say something more.

But faced with Viscount Lien Castel’s indisputable gaze, they ultimately sighed and each went their own way.

Watching as everyone left, the Old Viscount slightly furrowed his brow.

Although he anticipated the nobles might be dissatisfied with the Lord’s actions, this drastic change in attitude was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Especially regarding the attitude toward the Third Prince.

The unity in the nobles’ change of heart was striking, and it was hard for him not to speculate further...

Shaking his head, the Old Viscount turned and looked toward the Mage Tower.

Taking a deep breath, he said to his eldest son Derek,

"Come, let’s both go to see the Count and persuade her again."

However, just as the Old Viscount took a step, his son behind him called out,

"Father..."

Viscount Lien Castel turned around in confusion, only to see his eldest son with a hesitant look and flickering eyes.

The Old Viscount frowned and asked,

"Derek, what is it?"

Derek de Lien Castel clenched his teeth and said,

"Father, I think... you trust Charlotte too much."

"Ever since Charlotte ascended to her position, our Lien Castel has always been used by her like a pawn..."

"Yet, she has never brought anything to our family."

"Our family has done enough, and I don’t think she is a wise ruler; perhaps it might be better to side with the Third Prince instead..."

"Enough! Hold your tongue!"

The Old Viscount’s expression changed, and he angrily said.

Releasing the pressure of a Second Tier Silver Moon, it instantly enveloped Derek, making his face turn pale, and he quickly bowed his head.

The Old Viscount gave him a disappointed look and said,

"Derek, remember, our family is the Lien Castels, not just Lien!"

"Any family can betray the Count Territory, but we... cannot!"

"This is the principle of our Lien Castel family!"

"Do you... understand?!"

Hearing the Old Viscount’s rebuke, Derek silently lowered his head.

The Old Viscount then sighed and said,

"Never mind, you go down first; I will go alone to meet with the Count and try to persuade her."

"The Count has never maintained the Magic Shield alone; she definitely cannot do it on her own, and once she tries and realizes how difficult it is, she should listen to our counsel..."

Viscount Lien Castel didn’t finish his sentence.

Because, just as he was speaking, he suddenly felt a powerful surge of magic power coming from the direction of the Mage Tower.

The Old Viscount paused briefly, then instinctively looked towards the Mage Tower, only to see a blue pillar of light shooting into the sky and instantly "hitting" the wavering Magic Shield, and the next moment, the Magic Shield enveloping the entire North Port suddenly stabilized.

Seeing this, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes, his expression full of astonishment:

"By the Divine Lord above! She... she actually did it?!"
