Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel-Chapter 557: -56- The Coup Plan of the Nais Clan

"Lord Castel, it’s been a while. Congratulations on becoming a vassal directly under the New Moon."

In the Count Mansion’s drawing room, Count Yulster of the Nais Bloodline, dressed in a black robe, elegantly bowed to Charlotte and spoke.

For some reason, Yulster’s demeanor toward Charlotte seemed even more respectful than usual today.

Charlotte took the sweet milk from the maid’s tray and sipped it lightly, saying,

"Lord Yulster, it’s been a while. You still look as elegant and dashing as ever."

After speaking, she inclined her body slightly and smiled,

"You didn’t come just to congratulate me on my position under Castel, did you?"

Yulster’s expression turned serious.

He looked around at Charlotte’s maids and attendants, remained silent, and noticing his gaze, Charlotte waved her hand to the others,

"Leave us for now."

The serving maids curtseyed and departed, and the attendants, after glancing at Yulster and then at Charlotte, hesitated briefly before also respectfully taking their leave.

Soon, only Charlotte and Yulster remained in the drawing room.

"Now that we are alone, you can speak."

Charlotte took another sip of the sweet milk and said.

After finishing, she smiled again and looked at him,

"If I’m not mistaken, your visit today has something to do with the Returning Star Plan, doesn’t it?"

Once assured they were alone, Count Yulster finally relaxed.

He nodded and said with a wry smile,

"Lord Castel, I must admit that my visit today indeed concerns the Returning Star Plan."

"The Elder Council of Nais has passed a resolution to initiate a coup in the near future with the Falling Star nobility to seize control of the Falling Star government. I am here partly to congratulate you and partly to seek your support, as per the alliance between Nais and Castel."

Charlotte nodded slightly and asked,

"Is the specific time already set?"

"It is set for the 14th of next month, the second Blood Moon of the summer, when our Bloodline powers are at their strongest."

"So soon? Wasn’t the plan originally intended for next year or later?"

Charlotte was somewhat surprised.

Yulster sighed and explained,

"That was the original plan. However, two and a half months ago, Lord Eugenia saw a new prophecy, leaving us Nais Clan with little time."

"Lord Eugenia?"

Charlotte’s heart stirred, slightly curious.

A person referred to as "Lord" by a Blood Count could only be a Duke-level Bloodline.

Charlotte had investigated the Nais Clan’s upper echelons before and had even covertly probed the depth of the Nais Clan through Yulster under the guise of a "True Ancestor."

Besides the "traitor" Elder Maxim, who had been suppressed by the Nais Clan, there were eight elders in total, equating to eight Legends.

However, most of these eight were elderly, weak, or infirm.

Among them, two Legends had been severely injured by the Legendary Clergy of the Holy Royal Court during the last civil war in the Falling Star Kingdom and had since been comatose, never waking up. Of the remaining six, three had been gravely injured during the thousand-year old civil war among the Bloodline, significantly diminishing their combat abilities to just a notch above a Blood Count.

In other words, although nominally eight Legends, the effective combat-capable Legends numbered only three.

And as far as Charlotte knew, among these eight Legends, there seemed to be none named "Eugenia."

Noticing Charlotte’s curiosity, Yulster explained:

"Lord Eugenia was once a Divine Favored of Lord Cosy, as well as the closest entity to myth in the Nais Clan."

A Divine Favored of the Stargazer Cosy?

Charlotte’s heart stirred.

Just as the Blood Demon Church’s myth was centered around the Blood Demon Duke Yabaton, the Nais Bloodline also had their own mythological leader, the Bloodline Demigod Stargazer Cosy.

If it was a Favored of the Bloodline myth, then even if not a Legend, it certainly merited the title "Lord".

However, unlike the Blood Demon Duke Yabaton, who occasionally responded to the prayers of his followers and even gave Oracles, the Nais Clan had not received an Oracle from the Stargazer Cosy for hundreds of years.

The emergence of followers like Elder Maxim, who aligned themselves with the Blood Demon Duke, was also due to this reason.

And regarding the Divine Favored of the Stargazer Cosy...

"Was she responsible for the Nais Clan’s major prophecies?"

Charlotte inquired.

Yulster hesitated slightly before responding,

"She once was."

"Once was?"

Charlotte noted Yulster had mentioned the term multiple times.

Yulster nodded and sighed,

"Yes, once was. Lord Eugenia had been the clan’s Divine Favored and savior, but she later betrayed her faith, making prophecies that desecrated the gods and lost their favor."

"Nevertheless, she remains the strongest prophetic Bloodline in our clan, esteemed by many for her ability to see things even the Great Elder cannot..."

"The Elder Council decided to accelerate everything after she received this new prophecy."

After hearing Yulster’s words, Charlotte felt intrigued:

"Lord Yulster, may I ask what prophecy the Nais Clan saw?"

Yulster hesitated slightly.

But realizing who he was speaking to—the representative of the True Ancestor—he soon opened up, saying: freewēbnoveℓ.com
