Chapter 203-53-Beating Nobles
The Earl's Mansion banquet went fairly well.
Although there was an assassination incident under the eyes of everyone, and although Charlotte seemed to have done nothing, her purpose of formally meeting with the vassals was initially completed.
Not only that, thanks to these nobles with MAX infighting ability, after a banquet, she also has a lot of handles from various noble families in her hands.
It can only be said that the blood clan that infiltrated Castel's back was too hasty.
However, Charlotte knows this is just the beginning.
Although she has a preliminary understanding of the vassals in the territory, her authority has not yet been established.
No matter how the various noble families were infiltrated by the blood race, no matter how much everyone respected her at the banquet, the fact that the power of the Castel family has declined and the ambitions of the nobles have grown has not changed.
It's not all bad news, though.
The Ness clan hidden behind the scenes has come to the fore.
Although it is unclear what the other party will do next, at least Charlotte has vaguely guessed the purpose of the Ness clan infiltrating Castel.
Charlotte also has further ideas about how to beat the vassals, how to establish authority, and how to expel the power of the Ness clan...
"Great master, Sebas has let you down. The assassin used a magic scroll to take advantage of the loophole..."
Sebastian came back a little earlier than Charlotte expected, and showed up early the next morning.
As soon as the flame elf returned to the castle, he hurried to plead guilty to her. His clothes were still wet, and there were even a few seaweeds on his head.
But even so, it did not delay his graceful kneeling and bowing his head gracefully.
Sebas didn't ask why Charlotte didn't call him back directly.
Charlotte didn't mention it either.
Actually, she didn't have anything to say. It couldn't be said that she didn't want to consume extra blood power, and she estimated that the assassin's strength would not pose a threat to her, so she didn't summon him, right?
As for Sebastian... Judging by the fearful look on his face, he probably took Charlotte's failure to call as dissatisfaction with him.
There is one thing to say, a Transcendent who is at the peak of the second level of Silver Moon was actually given to the assassin by an assassin who has not entered the level, it is indeed a bit shameful.
"You are indeed a little slack, you should be more cautious in your actions in the future, and don't underestimate any enemy."
Charlotte said lightly.
Sebas lowered his head even lower:
"Great master, I will keep this lesson in mind, and I will never do it again in the future."
"Okay, I won't mention this matter anymore. Since you are back, then... you must have heard about Maddock, right?"
Charlotte took a sip of the steaming sweet milk and asked.
"Already... listened to Ness."
Sebastian replied.
But that expression somewhat had the taste of gnashing one's teeth, especially when Nice's name was mentioned.
Looking at his expression, Charlotte almost guessed what happened.
I'm afraid that after receiving her order, Nice turned around and went to the door of the Earl's Mansion to watch Sebas and laugh at him when he came back.
These two guys...will never miss the opportunity to throw stones at each other.
"Now that you know it, it's easy to say. I have located the coordinates of the blood earl. I order you to immediately organize people to investigate. If necessary, you can call for my arrival!"
Charlotte looked serious and authentic.
Sebastian looked down, and lowered his head respectfully:
"Your will be obeyed."
"Okay, let's go down. When we go out, call Viscount Len-Castel in. I have seen him go around many times below."
Charlotte glanced at the small square downstairs and said.
"As ordered."
Sebastian saluted and took his leave respectfully.
Not long after, Viscount Lien-Castel tremblingly entered the study with the help of the maid.
"Your Earl!"
As soon as the old Viscount came in, he knelt down and bowed down.
His eyes were red, with big swollen dark circles around them, obviously from not having a good night's rest.
Think about it too, not to mention Madoc’s betrayal that the nobles still don’t know about, the assassin’s sneak attack last night was carried out in full view.
Although the shot was not from the Len-Castel family, the accusation against Len-Castel when the assassin showed up finally pushed them to the forefront...
Some things, privately and publicly, have completely different effects.
In any case, since what happened last night, the old Viscount must come to his lord to explain.
"Get up, I know why you are here, but even if you don't come, I plan to call you over again."
Charlotte said.
"My lord! I really don't know about the assassination! About the blood race... I do have a relationship with the blood race, but you know, I am also pretending to be false, the purpose is to dig out their purpose, I... I have a crush on Cass Tell's loyalty is unwavering!"
The old Viscount said excitedly, his voice became a little incoherent.
Charlotte nodded slightly, and said gently:
"I know, I never doubted Len Castel's loyalty."
"My lord..."
The old Viscount was moved.
"However... I also got some other information, all related to the Leon-Castel family."
Charlotte changed the subject, picked up a stack of parchments from the desk, and handed it to the accompanying maid Shirley, motioning for her to deliver it to the old Viscount.
Those parchment scrolls recorded the information that other families reported to Len Castel.
The old Viscount took it tremblingly, and browsed it suspiciously. As he browsed, his eyes gradually widened and trembled slightly:
"Slander! This is slander! My Leon-Castell family has never done such a thing!"
"Oh? Really haven't done it?"
Charlotte lowered her eyelids and looked slightly cold. At the same time, she mobilized the divine power of blood, directly arousing the power of the prestige technique to put pressure on the second-level silver moon viscount in front of her.
At that moment, Viscount Leon-Castell only felt a supreme power erupting from Charlotte.
Obviously, he didn't feel any power beyond the stars from the girl in front of him, but he felt a sense of fear for no reason.
"I…"
The old Viscount swallowed, his scalp went numb.
"Okay, no need to explain."
Charlotte interrupted the other party:
"Your Excellency Leon-Castel, I believe in your loyalty, but... as you said, the influence of the blood race has penetrated into every aspect of the territory. I think not everyone in the Leon-Castle family is like you You still have your heart.”
"Many things in this information are easy to verify, and I'm afraid they can't stand the verification. Castel's aristocratic family needs to be rectified, and the Leon-Castel family is no exception."
"A lot of the information here is enough for me to deprive your family of your title, but I don't intend to do so."
"Because I believe in you, Lord Viscount, the Leon-Castel family is the most loyal family among the three Viscounts. I believe that even if the things recorded on it are related to the Leon-Castel family, it is by no means you. order, but those blood clans who infiltrated into the Leon-Castel family are obstructing it."
"To show you these materials, I have only one purpose, and that is to order you to rectify the family!"
"The past has passed, and from now on, I don't want to see similar things happen in the territory!"
"My lord..."
The old Viscount was moved.
And Charlotte continued:
"Of course, the reason why I trust you so much is also because you gave me an early warning."
"Since the banquet is over, I can tell you some things frankly. In fact, before the banquet, I already knew that there would be assassin actions."
The old Viscount was stunned:
"You...you know?!"
"I have my own intelligence channels."
Charlotte said plainly.
The old Viscount hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking:
"Then why do you..."
"Why is there a banquet?"
Charlotte glanced at the other party and said calmly:
"Because I'm also looking for an opportunity, an opportunity to find out the people behind the scenes!"
As she spoke, she chuckled lightly and said:
"Actually, it went well. There are only you and me here. I can tell you something."
"Your Excellency, the Viscount, in fact, the Blood Race of the Fallen Star Kingdom has been infiltrating various families in Castel. Last night's assassination... is also the mastermind behind the scenes."
"However, last night's assassin was not their real killing move. In fact, after I left the venue last night, they carried out another attack on me."
"You...you were attacked again?"
The old Viscount's eyes widened.
"It's okay, I can stand here and talk to you, it means that everything has been resolved."
Charlotte nodded and said.
As she spoke, she smiled again:
"Your Excellency Viscount, do you know why I have to tell you so much?"
The old Viscount hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head respectfully:
"Subordinate...don't know."
"Because I have a task that I need you to do, more precisely, I need you, the Len-Castel family, to do it."
Charlotte said with a solemn expression.
Viscount Leon-Castel's expression turned serious:
"Please show me that the Leon-Castel family will go all out!"
"I want you to form a review team to review every noble family in the Castel Territory, and find out all the fallen star blood clans in the territory!"
Charlotte said plainly.
"Examine...examine all noble families?!"
The old Viscount's eyes widened.
"Huh? Questions?"
Charlotte's eyelids droop.
"Lord Earl, I'm afraid there is a real problem... If you want to review all the noble families, it may cause dissatisfaction among the vassals, and it may shake the foundation of the territory..."
"In particular, the vampires behind the scenes are so arrogant, and their power is probably beyond our imagination... They will definitely not sit back and censor actions."
The old Viscount said bravely.
"If you are worried about the blood clan behind the scenes, you can rest assured that in the next period of time, I am afraid that they will all have no leader and be too busy to take care of themselves."
Charlotte chuckled lightly.
"The dragons have no leader?"
The old Viscount was taken aback for a moment.
Charlotte nodded slightly, took a sip of the sweet milk, and said calmly:
"The blood clan that infiltrated Castel is the Ness clan, one of the six major clans of the blood clan, and the organizer behind the scenes is a Blood Earl named Lachlan Ness."
"It was the Earl of Blood who attacked me again last night!"
Saying that, Charlotte smiled and looked at the old Viscount:
"And he...is dead now."
"Dead? An Earl of Blood...dead?"
The old Viscount was stunned again.
Charlotte did not explain further, but pointed to the pile of sheepskin scrolls in front of the desk:
"As for whether other noble families will object... Heh, if they really want to object, let's show them these things."
"I have just succeeded to the throne. To be honest, I don't want to go to war. I just hope that all families can abide by their hearts and be loyal to me, but if there are really people who don't have eyes..."
Charlotte's expression turned cold, and said:
"I don't mind entrusting some new nobles."

I am a town transport envoy of the Transport Department.
You ask me what I am doing?
I am helping the old woman cross the road.
Why do you do this?
Because the system says I won't survive three days.
Oh yes, one more thing.
I discovered that my house actually has a tunnel leading directly to the next door.
Then a princess moved in next door to me.
