NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 621: -85- Heir_2
"Really... no, Lord Castel!"
Yulster hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly called out to her.
Charlotte paused slightly.
"Lord Yulster, is there anything else?"
Charlotte asked.
Yulster looked anxious.
After struggling internally, he shook his head:
"No… nothing, I wish you a safe journey."
Charlotte glanced at his obviously preoccupied face. Feeling moved, she asked:
"Lord Yulster, is everything really okay within the Nais Clan?"
Yulster was startled.
He hesitated, then shook his head:
"No... there's nothing, at least… not for now."
Charlotte looked at him intently:
"If you have any trouble, feel free to ask for my help, after all… we are 'allies'."
Yulster bowed respectfully:
"I will."

Leaving the inn, Charlotte got into the carriage, and Castel's caravan also started slowly, heading towards the port.
They had arrived by boat, and they were leaving by boat as well.
Charlotte waved her hand, signaling that Yulster didn't need to see her off, then she closed the curtain.
After the carriage curtains were drawn, a silver glow appeared, and an ethereal, miniature elf two-handed sword slowly emerged beside Charlotte:
"Hey, he definitely wanted to ask about my whereabouts just now; it's all written on his face!"
"True Ancestor, are you really not planning to take this opportunity to seize the power of the Nais Clan? This is the best time—they're going to be in big trouble this time!"
This was the projection of the Roman Sword's Artifact Spirit, which only Charlotte, as its master, could see.
Looking at the schadenfreude-filled Roman Sword beside her, Charlotte raised an eyebrow:
"Oh, how so?"
"Because the killer of the Roman heir is from the Nais Bloodline on Moon God Island. The Nais Bloodline itself is already showing signs of division, and Moon God Island and Falling Star Kingdom have always been vying for dominance over the clan. This time… it's going to be quite chaotic."
"Heh heh, don't you think this is the best opportunity to take advantage while they're vulnerable? Whether it's the Nais Clan or the Roman Family!"
The Roman Sword provocatively teased in a somewhat mischievous tone.
Charlotte glanced at the Artifact Spirit enjoying others' misfortunes without revealing that it was merely reveling in others' troubles while it, too, was unfortunate.
This guy holds grudges, probably also blaming the Nais Clan and Roman Family for its predicament, stirring up trouble here.
Seeing Charlotte's unmoved appearance and her meaningful gaze, the voice of the Roman Sword gradually subsided.
It coughed lightly, shrinking back in a cowardly manner.
Charlotte withdrew her gaze, looking the other way:
"Albrecht, what are your plans next?"
Opposite her, black mist slowly condensed, eventually taking the form of Albrecht.
"Great True Ancestor, I plan to return to the New Moon Kingdom to recruit supporters among the Bloodline within the Church, continuing to serve you!"
Albrecht, with a solemn expression and respectful attitude, said.
Charlotte looked at him with a half-smile:
"This time, you're not going to hide away?"
Albrecht stiffened slightly, chuckling dryly:
"You… you jest."
Charlotte didn't press further.
She lazily shifted her sitting position and nodded:
"Go ahead, don't disappoint me. Also, there's a new task: I want you to investigate and locate the Holy Artifact within the Blood Demon Church that can pinpoint the curse pages. Find it and… obtain it."
"The Holy Artifact that can locate curse pages?"
Albrecht's eyebrows rose.
He pondered for a moment and bowed to Charlotte:
"Great True Ancestor, I will heed your Oracle…"
After speaking, Albrecht transformed back into black mist and swiftly dissipated.
Charlotte slowly withdrew her gaze.
She looked at the approaching dock and her own fleet already prepared beside the dock, murmuring:
"This time I return… I can focus on integrating the Divine Statue."
...
On September 5, 1446 of the Holy Calendar, Prince Henry of Falling Star Kingdom, Crown Prince, was fatally attacked during the Roman Festival ceremony.
The Roman Family's hereditary Divine Artifact, the Roman Sword, pursued the murderer and disappeared.
It was rumored that the assassin of Prince Henry was a fervent supporter of the Red Lilac Family and possibly linked to the Bloodline.
After the news spread to the Falling Star, the entire country was in uproar.
...
Falling Star Kingdom, Royal Capital Falling Star City.
In the royal sleeping chamber, the intense smell of medicinal herbs was quite pungent, and the knights guarding the palace looked solemn and stern.
Maids in red and white uniforms surrounded the bed, carefully wiping the body of King Edward III.
"Cough cough… cough cough cough…"
His violent coughing continued intermittently, struggling and feeble, and each cough tugged at the ghastly wound on his chest, causing more bright red blood to spread between the white bandages.
The maids were frantic, their faces growing paler as they watched the unstoppable bloodstains.
Amid the commotion, a middle-aged noble dressed as a knight entered the sleeping chamber with a worried expression.
He approached the bed, looked at the withered, bloodless old man, hesitated for a moment, then slowly backed away.
However, just as he was about to leave, King Edward III suddenly opened his murky eyes and asked in a weak voice:
"Is that... Lord Samolete?"
"Your Majesty, it is your servant."
The middle-aged noble stopped in his tracks and bowed respectfully towards the bed.
Edward III coughed violently a few more times and asked:
