Chapter 196 46 The Real Attack

Chapter 196 -46- The real attack

This sudden assassination attack went as quickly as it came.

Regardless of whether they have entered the rank or not, nine and a half of the ten nobles are extraordinary. After experiencing the initial shock, they quickly reacted and imitated the Roman-For family and took action one after another to kill the guards who assassinated the lord. Down.

Charlotte didn't even say a word and it was all taken care of.

However, before the nobles escorted the "betrayed" Castel guards to Charlotte, these guards began to twitch one after another, and then died suddenly.

What Charlotte finally saw were corpses with lifeless eyes.

She gave Niss a look, and Niss immediately understood, jumped to the body and took a closer look, and said:

"It's mental control magic. They are forcibly controlled."

Charlotte nodded slightly, her eyes swept over the nobles who came to "protect" her, and finally fell on Vincent, who was leading the swordsmen in black to protect her.

At the same time, the nobles also looked at her, with expressions of loyalty and concern on their faces, as if they were the assassins who had just stopped them.

In the hall, the sound of a needle dropping could be heard, and everyone was waiting for the lord's order.

Charlotte still sat calmly on the lord's throne.

Her expression was extremely indifferent, which was in sharp contrast to her young and immature appearance.

Taking a deep look at Vincent, the son of Viscount Romain-Freux, who was standing beside her naturally, she picked up the tea cup and took a sip of black tea, and said calmly:

"The banquet continues."

The nobles hesitated.

However, looking at their lord's eyes that seemed to be indifferent to the assassination just now, they hesitated for a while, and finally started dancing again one after another.

The half-elf musician hesitated for a moment and then started playing the music again.

However, the atmosphere of the banquet was completely gone.

As for the corpses in the hall, waiters soon came and dragged them away one by one, and the nobles who were injured in the battle were also treated one after another.

An unexpected assassination ended in a hurry and was quickly forgotten.

At least...it seemed forgotten.

In this short assassination, no one died except the assassin.

The banquet continues.

However, after Charlotte continued to stay for a while, she slowly stood up and decided to leave the venue.

The assassination just now was definitely not the purpose of the Ness clan.

If the Ness clan wanted to control her, they would definitely not choose to assassinate her.

Charlotte feels that this is more like an introduction to create opportunities for the opponent to really attack.

As for the real killing move of the Ness clan, or who they really succeeded in wooing, to be honest...she already had vague guesses in her mind after witnessing what just happened.

Of course, it's not enough to just guess.

Next, it’s time to conduct further verification and close the network.

Thinking of this, Charlotte's profound gaze swept across the black-clothed swordsman of the Romain-Fol family, and ordered to the frightened Mayor of Beigang:

"Madoc, investigate when these guards were controlled."

Madoc was ordered to stand down.

However, just after Charlotte walked out of the venue, Vincent from the Romain-Fol family quickly followed, accompanied by several swordsmen in black.

Charlotte gave him a meaningful look:

"Sir Vincent, is there anything else?"

Vincent looked solemn and spoke concisely:

"Lord Earl, the guards were controlled unknowingly, and there may be a traitor hiding in the venue! And I'm afraid he is quite familiar with the Earl's Mansion, and may be someone close to you!"

"It's too dangerous for you to leave now."

Charlotte raised her eyebrows:

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Vincent looked solemnly and said:

"My father said before he left that you may be in danger today and told me to protect you."

"At least...please allow me to escort you out of the venue."

Charlotte's heart moved slightly:

"Oh, so... Your Excellency, the Viscount, did not leave the venue early because of physical discomfort?"

Vincent paused and said respectfully:

"I'm sorry, Lord Earl, I lied to you before. My father did not leave because of physical discomfort, but because he found traces of the vampires near the Earl."

"Father... is going to track down the vampires."

"Oh? Since you found traces of the vampires, why didn't you tell me?"

Charlotte asked, squinting her eyes.

"Because when I meet you, there are others around you."

Vincent replied matter-of-factly.

Charlotte was obviously stunned by this answer, while Vincent continued:

"Lord Charlotte, please allow me to escort you away."

Charlotte looked at him playfully and suddenly smiled:

"Can."

After saying that, she took the lead and walked out.

The black cat Nice also jumped lightly and jumped to Charlotte's side.

"Lord Charlotte, are you ready to go fishing? Do you suspect it is Romain Foer?"

Nice's somewhat excited voice resounded in Charlotte's soul mark.

"Maybe, after all... This kind of escort drama is so classic. The time of his appearance is too coincidental and too sudden. It's hard not to make some associations with me."

Charlotte answered in consciousness.

"Meow! If I read it correctly just now, Sebastian teleported away, right? Aren't you worried?"

"It's okay. He was teleported to the sea about fifty kilometers away. He should be able to swim back tomorrow morning."

Nice:…

"Okay, get ready to arrest people. Maybe... we can find out the vampire behind this right away."

Charlotte said in consciousness.

While chatting with Nice in her mind, Charlotte left the banquet hall under Vincent's escort and headed to her study.

However, what made Charlotte a little confused was that Vincent seemed to be really just escorting her. He didn't take the initiative to say a word until Charlotte entered the study.

Could it be that I guessed wrong?

Charlotte was confused.

"My lord, the guards of Castel were controlled quietly, which shows that the person behind the scenes is probably someone from the Earl's palace. Please be careful!"

"Subordinate...resign."

Standing in front of the study door, Vincent said respectfully.

After saying that, he bowed again and left in silence with the swordsman in black.

Charlotte:…

Just... left?

Did you really make a mistake in your judgment?

Or is it that the blood clan behind the scenes gave up today's action?

Looking at the direction where Vincent disappeared, Charlotte became more and more confused.

At this moment, the voice of Beigang Mayor Maddock appeared outside the door:

"My Lord Earl, my subordinates have investigated clearly and come to report to you!"

"Come in."

Charlotte ordered naturally.

Madoc quickly entered the study.

However, what Charlotte heard was not Maddock's report, but the sound of the study being locked.

Her heart skipped a beat and she slowly looked up, seeing a familiar yet unfamiliar face.
