Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel

Albrecht muttered to himself.

He forcefully suppressed the mad thought of claiming the True Ancestor's blood as his own, and his expression even faintly took on a hint of jealousy:

"The Roman Contract Book is truly lucky to obtain a drop of True Ancestor's blood as the activation key."

"What a bargain for it!"

After saying that, he squinted at the puppets around him, temporarily under his control, and sneered:

"Quite a bargain for you all too! A life saved for nothing!"

Speaking, Yulster was about to hand the crystal bottle to Count Corimo, whose senses he controlled.

But as he reached out his hand, he suddenly paused, stricken by a thought.

He examined the figure before him and suddenly chuckled, touching his chin:

"Speaking of which, my Illusion Technique is also not bad."

...

Romany Square.

As the distinguished guests took their seats one after another, the grand ceremony officially began.

The "recognition" ceremony of the Falling Star Crown Prince naturally attracted a huge crowd.

Although ignored by the nobility of Falling Star due to political reasons, such a grand festival was naturally a big event for the public.

The vast square was densely packed with onlookers, inside and out, likely numbering in the tens of thousands.

And if one included the nearby congested streets, the number of spectators would be even greater.

The "Ancestor Recognition" festival was divided into three parts.

The first part was a speech; Prince Henry, the successor of the Roman family, would make an appearance in front of the public to give an oath and speech.

The second part was the Great Witch Ceremony, a worship of the Roman ancestors and a prelude to the recognition ceremony.

And the third part was the official ceremony.

According to tradition, the Roman family would awaken the Roman Sword, formally beginning the recognition and strengthening of the Roman Bloodline.

The ceremony proceeded smoothly.

Although Prince Henry was young, he was still a qualified noble; his speech wasn't spectacular, but it was fitting for the Crown Prince.

There were no issues with the Great Witch Ceremony either.

As a ceremony approved by the Holy Royal Court, the Roman family's Great Witch Ceremony no longer held a mystic significance but had become merely a symbolic event, so there were no risks or difficulties.

The problem... lay in the crucial part that had not yet begun.

"Has no one come from the palace yet?"

Behind the spectator platform, Duke Cont looked at the Royal Knight, his expression somewhat anxious.

"My Lord Duke, not yet."

The Royal Knight replied respectfully.

"Has the body double been placed? The person was sent to the palace, is it so difficult to get some blood?!"

"Check again what's happening; the Great Witch Ceremony is about to end, have them hurry and send the item over!"

Duke Cont urged worriedly, frowning.

The knight respectfully agreed and withdrew.

Duke Cont paced anxiously.

Just as he couldn't help wanting to urge them again or even run there himself, the Royal Knight finally arrived with someone.

It was Count Corimo.

"I apologize, Lord Duke, the palace area is too vast, I accidentally lost my way and arrived late."

Count Corimo said with a smile.

Seeing his infuriatingly nonchalant demeanor, Duke Cont felt a burst of anger:

"Lost your way? How many times have you been to the Romany Palace and you still got lost? Have you thought about the consequences if our plans are delayed?!" ThiscontentwasfirstreleasedonMV_LEMPYR.

After speaking, he barely suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, lowered his voice, and asked:

"Did you bring the item?"

"It's already here, Count Castel's blood."

Count Corimo said with a smile, offering up the crystal bottle.

Seeing the crimson liquid in the crystal bottle, Duke Cont's expression eased slightly.

He looked intently at Count Corimo:

"Not bad, remember to take care of the aftermath."

Saying this, he strode toward the spectator platform.

The Great Witch Ceremony had ended.

There was a ten-minute break before the official start of the Ancestor Recognition Ceremony.

On the spectator platform, Prince Henry held an ancient book, looking somewhat restless.

Until he saw Duke Cont hurrying over.

Prince Henry's eyes lit up, and Duke Cont quickly approached him, discreetly handing him the crystal bottle:

"Your Highness, the blood of Count Castel has been obtained."

Having received the crystal bottle, Prince Henry finally felt relieved.

Thinking of the beautiful figure he had seen at last night's banquet, he couldn't help asking:

"Is she... all right?"

Duke Cont paused for a moment before realizing who Prince Henry was referring to. He glanced at the other "Count Castel" and the other "Count Castel" said:

"Your Highness, please rest assured, we did not harm her. We only stunned her. Even when drawing blood, we were as gentle as possible."

"Good, she will be the future Princess after all."

Prince Henry nodded.

The break ended quickly.

The Ancestor Recognition Ceremony was finally about to officially begin.

The nobles took their seats again, and one of the elders from the Roman family announced the start of the ceremony.

"Prince, the ceremony is about to begin, please proceed to the altar and call upon the Roman Sword!"

The elder said solemnly.

Prince Henry, fully prepared, took a deep breath, and rose amid the attention of all.

He picked up the Roman Contract Book, hid the crystal bottle, and walked to the altar on the central platform of the square with a mix of nervousness and anticipation...
