Chapter 59: -53- Effects of Transcendent Blood_2

Cold sweat instantly streamed down from Sebastian’s forehead.

His face turned slightly pale, and he swallowed hard before bowing his head respectfully and nervously:

"Sebastian... understands, it was Sebastian who was reckless."

Indeed, he was testing the waters...

Watching his behavior, Charlotte heaved a small sigh in her heart.

She had felt that Sebastian was not quite himself today; although he was trying to show off, many of his actions were overly flamboyant, to the point where it sometimes seemed more like he was trying to anger her.

This gave her a somewhat familiar feeling.

It was like how she, in her past life, would madly test the goddess’s boundaries in jest, to better grasp the goddess’s true character and the limits of her likes and dislikes, so as to approach the goddess as closely as possible without causing displeasure.

This was a needed proactive method to understand someone for those who are humbly devoted.

Because they felt too insignificant to ask directly or to raise the topic in person, they would awkwardly try to passively learn about the object of their admiration.

This way of gathering information wasn’t the best and could even backfire.

But as long as one managed the extent of it well, it could sometimes be the most effective.

Clearly, Sebastian had managed it quite well.

Charlotte understood in an instant.

This was because Sebastian still had no idea about her various thoughts, so he was jumping back and forth on the edge of danger to try to further understand her temperament.

And a person, only when they really want to submit, would choose to do so.

Thinking it over, she said:

"I don’t like people who are too flamboyant."

"Keeping your feet on the ground and being practical is what will catch my eye."

Sebastian’s heart stirred, and he respectfully bowed his head, like an obedient golden retriever:

"Sebastian... understands."

And after reprimanding him, Charlotte leaned back against the window, lazily stretching out her hand:

"Bring it here for a taste, let’s see how the Dragon Blood you’ve prepared is."

Sebastian’s eyes instantly brightened, and it was as if a tail was wagging behind him, like a big dog that had been acknowledged.

His face beamed with joy, and he hurriedly filled a cup with Dragon Blood for Charlotte like a fawning dog, cheerfully saying:

"Please enjoy!"

Charlotte took it from him, elegantly sipping a bit, only to feel a sweet and warm power flowing down her throat into her stomach, and then quickly spreading throughout her body.

In that moment, she was surprised to find that her Bloodline power, which had hardly improved since her Awakening, actually had a minuscule, barely detectable increase!

So... Drinking the essence blood of a Transcendent being could actually help a Bloodline enhance their power!

Charlotte was shocked.

Wait, Sebastian had also mentioned the blood of intelligent beings.

Could it be that drinking the blood of intelligent beings... also had some special effects for Bloodlines?

So, is that why the Church’s records state that Bloodlines are so fond of human blood, especially Transcendent blood?

Charlotte pondered.

She had always been thinking about how to strengthen herself by advancing her Majesty Skill, but now... it seemed she had found another path!

"But that’s not right, the Church’s documentation states that the Bloodline hierarchy is rigid, and it even specifically mentions that generally, Bloodlines find it hard to ascend in Rank without the help of an ’elder’."

"If it were as simple as drinking the blood of a Transcendent Existence to grow stronger, then Bloodlines would be too monstrous, and definitely would not be documented as such."

"That said, this means of enhancing strength through drinking blood must have a bottleneck; it’s very likely that it can only bring a Bloodline infinitely close to the Peak of their current tier..."

"But for me, this is precisely what I need, to infinitely enhance my power close to that of a Starry First Tier before I level up!"

With this thought, the way Charlotte looked at the Dragon Blood in her hand changed.

She took a deep breath and downed the blood in the tall glass.

As the Dragon Blood entered her stomach, Charlotte felt instantly stuffed.

It wasn’t the ordinary sense of being full, but more like the feeling of energy overflowing after being filled to the brim.

This energy might be the remnant life energy within the essence blood.

She could feel that her strength had definitely increased a bit, but after that slight increase, it gradually ceased, as if it had reached the limit for this digestion.

And as her body overflowed with energy that had nowhere to go, it began to slowly dissipate with each breath she took.

"One cannot enhance one’s power by rapidly consuming large amounts of blood, rather, it seems that one must absorb it slowly and thoroughly!"

Charlotte came to a new conclusion.

"How is it? Does it suit your taste?"

Sebastian looked at the girl with eager anticipation.

Charlotte slowly put down the goblet, suppressing the surprise in her heart, and said indifferently,

"Not bad."

Sebastian’s eyes instantly shone brighter.

"Please try the milk as well!"

He presented a cup of milk with an obsequious air.

Although she was already full, seeing his enthusiastic anticipation, much like a big dog wagging its tail non-stop, Charlotte ultimately found it hard to refuse. She took the cup and sipped lightly.

And with that sip, Charlotte was once again pleasantly surprised.

Smooth, with a pleasant sweetness.

Infused with warm magic power.

It even tasted faintly better than the milk prepared at home!

Clearly, even if the Rose Association’s wealth could not compare with the Castels’, in terms of underworld connections within the Transcendent Domain, they left the mortal Casimodo far behind.

These things were not something one could even be sure to get on the open market, even with a gold tana!

"How is it? Great master?"

Sebastian’s face was full of expectation.

Charlotte was silent.

Her gaze fell on him, and after a long moment of contemplation, she finally made a decision.

The girl suddenly burst into a smile, her beautiful, youthful face blooming like a radiant flower, full of innocent purity, like a little girl who had found her beloved toy:

"Sebastian, you... are not bad. From now on, stay by my side as a butler."

Looking at that stunning smile, Sebastian was briefly taken aback, then quickly bowed respectfully.

But soon, he realized exactly what the young girl had said, his eyes lit up in an instant, and with ecstatic excitement, he said,

"Great master! Your humble servant Sebastian will never fail to meet your expectations!"

"Of course, it’s just a trial period. If you don’t satisfy me, you’ll have to pack up and go back to being your gang leader."

Charlotte immediately shifted her tone.

She leaned against the carriage window, lazily twirling a tender finger around the goblet, and said with a smile.

"No problem! Great master! No... rest assured! The entire Rose Association is at your disposal! Starting today, the Rose Association bears the Castel name!"

Sebastian said, excitedly.

Charlotte: ...

"Conceal your identity well, at least for now; don’t cause me any trouble."

Her face changed in an instant, as she spoke coldly.

"Of course! Great master! By your side, I will be Stian! The Rose Association, from top to bottom, will not cause you any trouble!"

Sebastian quickly assured.

Having received Charlotte’s approval, he was quite thrilled. If it were not for the carriage being too low, the girl even suspected he might have jumped up in excitement.

Charlotte shook her head, getting back to the matter at hand:

"Alright, calm down. The matter I asked you to investigate yesterday, how did it go?"

Upon hearing the girl’s words, Sebastian also became serious in an instant.
