Chapter 200 -50- A Little Trouble

"Nice, did the Holy Royal Court also participate in the Lilac War? How much do you know about this war?"

Chew on the Falling Star Civil War mentioned by Black Cat Nice, Charlotte asked thoughtfully.

"Hey, I also happened to see the information from the cardinal of the Crescent Diocese. Speaking of which... this is also related to the Crescent Kingdom."

"After the Star-Moon War, the then King of Falling Star, 'Stupid' Henry Roman, was overthrown by the nobles of the Falling Star Kingdom. Because 'Stupid' Henry had no heir, the two branches of the Roman family started a civil war to compete for the throne. Because the emblems of the two branches are both lilac, this war is also called the Lilac War."

"Among them, the emblem of the most powerful Roman branch is red lilac, while the emblem of the less powerful Roman branch is purple lilac. When the war started, At that time, the Red Lilac Family had always been in the upper hand. However, later the Purple Lilac Family received assistance from the Holy Royal Court and the Crescent Kingdom, and finally turned defeat into victory and defeated the Red Lilac Family..."

"Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the Red Lilac Family finally announced that they would give up the throne and surrender to the Purple Lilac Family. The two sides reconciled, and the head of the Purple Lilac Family, Edward Roman, finally won the throne of the Fallen Star, which is now the Fallen Star King Edward III."

"Lord Charlotte, if the Holy Royal Court has done anything to the Fallen Star Kingdom, it is probably only this matter."

Nice said, scratching the cat's head.

"Then the church's missionary work in the Fallen Star Kingdom has also developed well in recent years, right?"

Charlotte thought for a while and asked again.

Nice nodded:

"Of course, the Lilac Family had to show their appreciation for successfully helping the Lilac Family defeat the Red Lilac Family. Not to mention the church, even the Crescent Kingdom gained a lot of benefits from this."

"What about the Red Lilac Family? Was it liquidated later?"

"Hey, that's not the case. Although they fought to the death, they are still a family after all. Both sides are from the Roman family. It's better to say that they compromised with each other than to say that they won or lost. You know, after the war, Edward III married the daughter of the Duke of Lanster, the head of the Red Lilac Family!"

Charlotte looked at Nice in surprise:

"You know a lot."

"Hehehe, I know a little bit, I know a little bit. The romantic affairs of the Fallen Star Royal Family are still widely circulated, especially about Edward III and the daughter of the Duke of Lanster. Some people who like to do things have written books about them."

Nice laughed.

Charlotte:...

Looking at Nice's expression, she knew that it was definitely not a serious book.

"However, although Edward III did not liquidate the Red Lilac Family, he liquidated many nobles, and was therefore dubbed the 'Tyrant Edward'."

Nice thought for a moment and said again.

Liquidated many nobles...

Charlotte nodded slightly and fell into deep thought.

From the limited information she knew, the Holy Royal Court, which was in a superior position, had never participated in secular disputes, and it was rare for it to intervene in the civil war of the secular kingdom.

Considering the status of the Nice Clan in the noble forces of the Falling Star Kingdom, combined with the history that Nice said, Charlotte soon made a bold guess:

Could it be... that in the Falling Star Civil War, the Red Lilac Family was supported by the Nice Clan?

At the beginning, it was a battle for the throne between the two Lilac families, but in reality, it was a battle between the Nice Clan and the Holy Royal Court for control of the Falling Star Kingdom?

The two Lilac families were just their agents?

And in the end, the Nice Clan lost?

This guess made Charlotte's eyelids twitch wildly.

However, when she connected everything, she felt that it was very likely to be true...

The Red Lilac Family supported by the Ness Clan was defeated, and the belief in the Holy Court of the Falling Star Kingdom was strengthened, and the living space of the Ness Clan would naturally be squeezed.

Charlotte didn't know what happened to the Ness Clan after the Lilac War, but if that was true, judging from the angry attitude of Earl Lachlan, the Ness Clan's losses were probably not small.

The Ness Clan seemed to be preparing for war. If analyzed from this perspective, could it be that they did not give up, but planned to start a second civil war in the Falling Star Kingdom?

So, they would extend their tentacles into Castel?

Thinking of this, Charlotte's heart jumped.

This is very likely, because if the Ness Clan wants to start a war in the Falling Star Kingdom, it must need a stable rear base, and the northern lowlands across the sea from the Falling Star Kingdom are perfect.

In addition, there is the Roman Principality...

The Duke of Nottingham of the Nice Clan is likely to be in charge of the Roman Principality. Like Castel, if everything is really as Charlotte guessed, the Roman Principality is likely to be the bridgehead for the Nice Clan to counterattack.

Of course, the above is just speculation.

However, Charlotte feels that this is probably close to the truth.

Even Earl Lachlan's hatred for the Roman family can be explained.

Whether it is red lilac or purple lilac, they are all Roman, and in the Lilac War, the two Romans finally shook hands and made peace.

If the Nice Clan is really a supporter of red lilac, it is almost equivalent to them being set up by the Roman family...

However, what makes Charlotte a little confused is why the Nice Clan would extend their anger towards Roman to her, the head of the Castel family, and... why Lachlan calls her mother "Your Highness".

Could it be...that his mother's true identity is the Fallen Star Royal Family?

This guess is not impossible, because Charlotte knew very early on that her mother was from a noble family in the Falling Star Kingdom, and it seemed that because of her sensitive identity, all her past was hidden after she came to the Crescent Kingdom.

Charlotte had not paid attention to this before, but now that she was likely to be involved in the disputes in the Fallen Star Kingdom, she felt that maybe she should investigate it carefully.

"Nice, since you have read so many books describing the Fallen Star Royal Family, have you ever seen a royal member named Anne in the Fallen Star Royal Family?"

Charlotte asked.

"Anne? There are many people named Anne in Falling Star Kingdom, and there are quite a few in the royal family. Which Anne do you want to ask?"

Nice scratched his head.

As if remembering something, it suddenly raised its big, fleshy face and asked:

"Wait... are you suspecting that your mother is from the Fallen Star Royal Family?"

Charlotte nodded:

"The only ones who can be called Your Highness are princesses, right?"

"Saints or some transcendent women can also do it... But your mother is a devout holy believer, so I'm afraid she is not included in this list. Before you were born, she often went to the church to feed me dried fish!"

Charlotte:…

There were so many flaws in this passage that she didn't even know where to start.

Seemingly noticing Charlotte's strange expression, Nice suddenly reacted and said quickly:

"Ah no...sorry, it's not the time before you were born, it was the time before your body was born."

As it said, it scratched its head again:

"To be honest, you are much more human than I thought, so much so that I always forget your true identity..."

Charlotte:…

This sentence sounds so strange.

"Lord Charlotte, are you curious about your body's mother's life experience? If you want to find out, maybe I can help someone investigate. Even though we are like this now, we also have many friends in the church. , there are several who have been transferred to Fallen Star Kingdom to serve as priests, and there are even high priests. Please investigate and they may be able to find some clues. "

Ness said, patting his chest.

Charlotte's heart moved slightly and she nodded:

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."

"okay!"

Ness raised his tail happily.

It was rare for Sebastian to be absent, but it was finally his turn to show off his skills in front of Charlotte.

The poor black cat was completely unaware that with the passage of time and repeated fights with Sebastian, it gradually turned into the shape of a licking dog.

"Okay, call someone in, lock up Madoc, and interrogate him properly when he wakes up."

Charlotte said after glancing at the mayor of Northport who was foaming at the mouth on the ground.

…

This anticlimactic attack did not affect the banquet at the Earl's Mansion.

In fact, because the main conflict occurred in the spiritual world, the nobles in the banquet hall did not even know that Charlotte had been attacked by the vampires.

It was a pity that she failed to control Earl Lachlan, but Charlotte was not without gains.

At least she figured out what the Ness clan was probably up to.

Madoc is probably just a small player, but using him as a breakthrough point may be able to pry out more information.

In addition, although Earl Lachlan was obliterated by Duke Yorock, Charlotte also used the opportunity of spiritual invasion to roughly locate the opponent's position.

Duke Yorock obviously did that because he was not sure of saving him from Charlotte. Obviously, Earl Lachlan must know a lot of important information about the Ness clan.

Charlotte plans to wait for Sebastian to come back and then arrange for people to raid.

Of course, she didn't hold out much hope. The castle where Earl Lachlan was located was indeed within the earl territory, but it was too far away from Beigang. It was probably impossible to reach it within two or three days' journey.

Two or three days... Charlotte estimated that it would be enough for the Duke named Yorock to take care of his funeral. Maybe there would be nothing left in the castle after she sent someone there.

However, for Charlotte, the next period of time will also be the best time for her to reorganize her territory.

Earl Lachlan is probably the person in charge of the Ness clan's infiltration into Castel. Once he dies, the blood clan forces hidden in Castel will inevitably be in chaos.

Duke Yorock was scared away by her. In the short term, the Blood Duke couldn't figure out her details and probably wouldn't take any further action. This bought Charlotte time.

However, Charlotte doesn't think this is done once and for all.

In fact, her acting just now was not without loopholes, and if Duke Yorock was interested in investigating, he would probably easily connect the "mysterious vampire strongman" with "Charlotte of Castells."

The probability of discovering that they are the same person is very small, but guessing that there is a relationship between the two is probably absolute.

The only thing that needs to be fortunate is probably that the Ness clan and the Holy Royal Court are in a state of hostility. Duke Yorock will definitely not be able to find the church to verify whether there is a vampire who believes in the God of Contract...

But everything is not absolute. The Ness clan is good at divination. Who knows if they will determine some information through divination and other means.

As for whether the Ness clan will continue to attack Castel, to be honest, Charlotte is not sure.

What she can do now is to catch the Ness clan off guard before they can react!

Thinking of this, Charlotte casually picked up the information provided by the nobles at the banquet.

She stroked her chin, thinking:

"It seems that these information, which were probably used to confuse people's vision, can be put to use."

...

This is a forest full of vitality.

Tall trees block out the sun, and low bushes are lush and green.

One after another, white spires with exquisite craftsmanship stand in the forest, surrounded by flowers and vines, forming a forest city that looks like a fantasy.

In the center of the city, in the tallest spire, two slender figures are sitting opposite each other, playing Miria chess leisurely.

One of them is a handsome young man, wearing a blue-black robe dotted with stars, and his silver-gray hair naturally falls behind him.

If Charlotte were here, she would recognize that he was the Duke of Blood, Yorok Ness, who had just confronted her in the spiritual world.

The other person is a beautiful female elf.

A gorgeous long dress with flowers and green grass, plus the silver hair and golden eyes that symbolize the elf kingship, made her look noble and mysterious.

Suddenly, Yorok Ness's movements paused slightly, and the black priest chess in his hand stopped in mid-air.

Seeing his serious expression at that moment, the female elf smiled slightly and said:

"Sir Yorok, what's wrong with you?"

Duke Yorok's eyes flickered, and he slowly put down the priest chess in his hand:

"Sir, there is a problem in the tribe, I'm afraid I can't continue to play chess with you today."

"Oh? What happened?"

The female elf asked curiously.

A flash of red light flashed in Duke Yorok's eyes, and he said indifferently:

"It's nothing serious, Castel encountered a little trouble..."

After that, he stood up from the chessboard, bowed to the female elf, and said:

"Your Excellency the Great Elder, can I borrow your island's quiet room for a while?"

The female elf smiled and said:

"Of course, Ness is our friend of the Moon God Island. Take my emblem and go down, and naturally there will be compatriots to take you to our best quiet room."

"Thank you for your generosity."

Duke Yorok said.

After speaking, he hurriedly left the spire.

"A little trouble..."

Looking at the increasingly obvious black chess on the chessboard, the female elf chuckled:

"It doesn't seem like a little trouble to make a bloody Duke who has a strong desire to win put down his chess piece and rush to the quiet room to observe the divination..."
