Chapter 100: Could it be... him?

Wow, is this considered NTR?Opening her eyes and looking at the Blood Demon Cultists kneeling on the ground, Charlotte's mood was quite strange.

Sebastian also widened his eyes in astonishment and said.

"Master... They...?"

"They are now under my command."

She said, sensing the connection between herself and these blood servants.

This connection is temporary, not permanent. Once she withdraws the divine power of blood, these cultists will regain their freedom. Sᴇaʀᴄh the n0vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

But for now... They belong to Charlotte. At least temporarily.

"As expected of you! Great... Master!"

Sebastian sincerely praised as he looked at the kneeling cultists.

Yes, the Lady of the Night is the True Ancestor!

The ancestor of the Bloodbornes!

These lunatics of the Blood Demon Cult dare to target their own ancestors. They must be tired of living.

Sebastian regretted not taking the Lady of the Night to raid the Blood Demon Cult earlier.

With the power of the Lady of the Night, if SHE had acted earlier, SHE might have wiped out the Borde's Blood Demon Cult long ago!

Of course, Sebastian was unaware that Charlotte had just discovered this method of overriding other's blood servants only after awakening her royal bloodline.

Looking at the kneeling cultists, Charlotte also had some new ideas.

"Lift your heads and tell me, who is your master?"

Her voice was crisp but carried an unexpected majesty that contradicted her appearance.

The cultists looked confused.

Upon hearing the girl's words, they trembled incessantly, as if experiencing an epileptic fit, as if in a struggle with the contract within their souls.

After a moment, they opened their foaming mouths, their voices coming out intermittently.

"Our master is... the... High... Priest..."

High Priest?

Charlotte's brow twitched.

"The High Priest? The Blood Demon Cult's High Priest? He's still alive?!"

Sebastian's gaze sharpened.

Charlotte glanced at him.

Sensing the girl's confusion, Sebastian quickly explained.

"Master, you may not be aware, but the priests in the Blood Demon Cult are divided into four ranks, corresponding to extraordinary tiers from Starry Sky to Legendary. The divisions are the Lower Priest, the Middle Priest, the Upper Priest, and the Divine Grace Priest."

"Ten years ago, the one who led the Flame Demon Disaster was an Upper Priest of the Blood Demon Cult. However, he preferred to be called the High Priest by others."

"In the official records of the church, it was stated that he was killed along with the failure of the Flame Demon Disaster. But I didn't expect... he's still alive."

Sebastian explained.

Charlotte looked at him strangely.

"Even now, do you still believe in the records of the Borde Church?"

Sebastian hesitated, then awkwardly nodded.

"You have a point."

He then curiously looked at the blood servants.

"Strange... Are they all blood servants of the High Priest?"

"No wonder... No wonder the Blood Demon Cult is so well hidden this time. In addition to their connection with the nobles and the church, their internal connections are even tighter than ten years ago..."

"But... how did the High Priest of the Blood Demon Cult manage it? From what I know, the burden of the blood servant contract is significant on the soul. Even a Third Tier Blazing Sun would selectively sign contracts."

"Even those who are not even Tier Zero extraordinary are turned into blood servants... How much soul power does he have?"

Sebastian was puzzled.

Listening to him, Charlotte had some speculations.

The Blood Demon Cult was collecting fragments of the Gospel.

Although the Gospel fragments were cursed, they did have some power.

Her grandmother once controlled a large number of undead using the power of the Gospel's fragment.

If the High Priest of the Blood Demon Cult also had similar fragments of the Gospel, she wouldn't be surprised.

As Sebastian said, they were a group of lunatics.

"Who are your collaborators among the nobles?"

After thinking about it, Charlotte continued to question these cultists.

Before confirming the presence of a believer entering the Dark Night Castle, Charlotte was reluctant to directly summon them into the spiritual world for questioning.

Sebastian was an accident last time. At that time, she was naive and hadn't experienced the power of the "God" yet.

After signing the Blood Contract with Sebastian and feeling the power similar to that of a God, she became more cautious.

However, now that she had overtaken these blood servants, it was a good opportunity for questioning.

She wanted to seize this opportunity to dig out all the secrets of the Blood Demon Cult and the nobles behind it!

After hearing Charlotte's second question, the blood servants stopped trembling.

Obviously, the answer to this question was not within the constraints of the contract. They immediately responded straightforwardly.

"It's... the Count, my lord."

The Count?

Charlotte frowned.

In Borde, there were only ten people who could be called Counts, including herself. Excluding her and those Court Counts who had no real power, there were only six Territorial Counts left.

"Which Count?"

She asked again.

However, this time, the blood servants stared blankly, not giving an answer.

Seeing their vacant gaze, Charlotte quickly realized that her miraculous control power also had drawbacks.

Her control belonged to forced control. The controlled blood servants only retained some instincts and subconsciousness. For them, this control might be more like sleeping and dreaming.

Obviously, their subconscious knowledge of the "Count" was limited to "the Count."

Charlotte's gaze fell on the end of the corridor, where the room was guarded by two forbidden blood servants.

"Tell me, what's behind that room?"

She asked.

"It's... the temporary... study of the... Count, my lord."

The trembling blood servant guarding the room replied.

The study of the Count?

Charlotte exchanged a glance with Sebastian.

"Master, shall we go in?"

"How are the conditions of these girls?"

Charlotte didn't act directly but looked at the cells on both sides and asked.

In the cells, the imprisoned girls were all quiet.

She hadn't noticed before, but now she saw that everyone was unconscious.

Sebastian went over to check and said.

"It should be some kind of delayed excitement sleeping potion, to keep them energized for... convenient service to guests."

"Beasts!"

Charlotte cursed coldly.

Pausing on her own maid, she said.

"Let them continue sleeping for a while, and we'll rescue them later."

Her current state was special. Even if she disguised herself, the fewer people who saw her, the better.

"You two, open the study."

Charlotte ordered the two forbidden blood servants guarding the door.

Receiving the order, the forbidden blood servants mechanically opened the door at the end of the corridor.

Then, the servants stepped aside, making a path.

With Sebastian accompanying her, Charlotte walked past the blood servants standing on both sides and entered the room.

Behind the door was an extravagantly decorated circular chamber. Curved bookshelves were filled with densely packed magical books.

Several magnificent mage robes hung on the rack, and there was even an astrolabe on the table.

Sebastian casually picked up a book, squinted his eyes, and then put it down, picked up another one, and then put it down again, and picked up another one...

"Tsk, Master, the magic books here all record astrology magic."

He said, squinting his eyes.

Astrology magic?

Count?

Charlotte's movement paused slightly.

Looking at the astrolabe on the table, her gaze narrowed slightly, and in her mind, an elegant figure from her original memory floated...

"Could it be... him?"
