Gospel of Blood

Chapter 59: True Effectiveness of Majesty

Have they arrived?

Charlotte's heart stirred slightly.

"Where?"

She suppressed her anticipation and asked.

"In the backyard, everyone is waiting for you."

Mrs. Mina said respectfully.

Charlotte immediately stood up.

"Take me there."

Guided by Mrs. Mina, Charlotte arrived at the backyard of the two-story building.

The backyard of the small building was very large, more like a square that could accommodate two or three hundred people. It should have been specially used for live-in servant transactions between masters and servants. But at this moment, the yard was already full of people.

Elderly people supported each other quietly standing. Some had lost a leg, some had lost an arm, some were using crutches, some had disfigured faces...

Their clothes were all different, but they were all washed clean, mostly patched, but some had a sickly complexion, and ragged clothes, indicating that they were not living well.

Behind them, there were also young men and women, the youngest possibly only twelve or thirteen years old, the oldest not exceeding sixteen, totaling about fifty people.

Seeing Charlotte coming to the yard with Mrs. Mina, everyone's eyes focused on her. The elderly people's expressions quickly became excited, while the young men and women were mostly curious.

Old Frank stood at the forefront of the crowd. He also leaned on a crutch, his face solemn.

Seeing Charlotte, he took a step forward, placed his right hand over his chest, straightened his back, and with an old and trembling voice filled with strong pride.

"Lady Charlotte! Castell Battle Mage Corps, Castell Maid Corps... reporting to you!"

"Castell Battle Mage Corps, Castell Maid Corps... reporting to you!"

The other elderly people standing proud echoed in unison.

They placed their right hands over their chests, performing the most ancient and sacred allegiance ceremony of the Crescent Kingdom. Then, they all stepped back together, pushing the young people behind them to the forefront.

Unlike the elderly, they were not wearing well-fitted Castell uniforms, and most of the colors were faded with many patches.

However, despite the old uniforms, they were neatly cleaned, without a single stain, showing the owner's care.

The young men and women were a little uneasy, many clearly unprepared.

Encouraged by their parents, they began to nervously report.

"Number 1, Apprentice Knight... Rand reporting!"

"Number 2, Apprentice Maid... Jennifer reporting."

"Number 3, Apprentice Tailor... Laura reporting..."

"Number 4, Apprentice Knight, Silvano reporting!"

"Number 5..."

The young men and women reported one by one.

Their professions were different, but all revolved around the heritage of noble servants, and the vast majority were unranked extraordinary!

Every one of them, even if they did not become followers of nobles, could live better lives than commoners in the future. But now, they were all standing here.

After the last young man reported, Mrs. Mina forcibly brought over her daughter, Sherry.

Although seemingly reluctant, the beautiful maid still stood at the end of the line. Her cold voice showed no emotion.

"Number 55... Apprentice Mage and Apprentice Knight, Sherry... reporting."

With that, everyone finished reporting.

"Lady Charlotte..."

"They are the best newcomers I have found for you. They are our descendants and our hope."

"Although we can no longer follow you, they can..."

"To offer loyalty to the great Castell is their glory! I hope you can treat them kindly, teach them, and let them follow you further on the path towards the future..."

Mrs. Mina sincerely and hopefully said.

Seeing over a hundred excited elderly people and more than fifty young men and women in front of her, Charlotte felt an indescribable emotion spreading in her chest.

Although she knew that bringing these servants' descendants was not only about loyalty to Castell but also for the future of the next generation, she was still deeply moved.

A great family that had been passed down for hundreds of years could not lack heritage. They were the lost heritage of Castell!

At this moment, Charlotte suddenly felt a little envious of her deceased parents, who could have such loyal and lovely followers' loyalty.

She knew that she had found the ones she was looking for.

The girl came to the front of the crowd, took a deep breath, and in the dim and bright, old and young eyes, she spoke.

"Everyone..."

"I am Charlotte de Castell."

"The lord of Castell, the inheritor Count of Borde."

"I deeply apologize for the unfair expulsion that Castell made to you ten years ago..."

"Castell was wrong, Castell committed unforgivable sins."

"You are the loyal guardians of the family, you should not be branded with stigma..."

"Please allow me to apologize on behalf of Castell..."

After saying that, under the somewhat confused gaze of the crowd, Charlotte pinched her skirt and bowed.

"Lady... Lady Charlotte, you... what are you..."

Seeing the girl bowing to herself, Old Frank was startled and quickly approached her.

Many elderly people also wanted to reach out to stop her, but seeing their dirty and calloused hands, they all trembled and withdrew, only able to move to the sides to avoid the girl's bow.

After Charlotte bowed, she wanted to continue speaking. But seeing the pure, expectant, uneasy, excited, and joyful gazes of the elderly, a thousand words finally turned into a sigh.

"Everyone..."

"Let's go home."

Hearing the girl's words, the elderly people were stunned, and then their vision blurred.

Low sobs rang out in the crowd, quickly turning into sobbing cries.

At the same time, Charlotte's mastery of majesty magic also soared in an instant, finally entering the advanced realm, only one step away from the perfect realm.

At this moment, Charlotte understood somewhat. The truly effective majesty comes from sincerity.

...

The elderly accepted Castell's apology.

However, they ultimately declined Charlotte's invitation, and no one chose to return to the manor.

They had lost their strength, they were extremely inferior, and they did not want to become the filth on the brightest star in their hearts, nor did they want to become a burden to their descendants. Even though in Charlotte's eyes, they were clearly the most adorable people.

Although regretful and helpless, seeing the elderly people so persistent, Charlotte did not force them anymore.

However, when the girl left, the carriages accompanying her were filled with young men and women.

They were the descendants of the elderly people, and they would take over the relay baton from their parents, inheriting their legacy... They would be the beginning of Castell's future.

A great family had never been alone. Loyal subjects, fervent followers, faithful servants... they were all part of the family. None of them could be missing.

Of course, many of them might also become nobles in the future, become lords, and become the ancestors of another noble family loyal to Castell.

However, looking at the spacious carriage, maid Sherry was reluctant to get on.

Under the repeated urging of the Frank couple, she reluctantly boarded the carriage, but it was obvious that she was not very willing.

"Hehe, my lady, it seems that you still have a long way to go to completely win their hearts..."

"Do you need my help to teach them well?"

Beside Charlotte, Sebastian smiled slightly.

Charlotte glanced at him and shook her head gently.

"No need, I'll handle it myself."

"I will let them know that I am a lord worthy of loyalty."

"Of course, you are, and Sebastian has never doubted it."

Sebastian elegantly bowed, not missing the opportunity to flatter.

With the young men and women on board, the carriage slowly drove away from Frank's employment agency under the gaze of the elderly.

As the carriage left the block, the Castell family's carriage also arrived.

From afar, Charlotte heard Casimodo's excited voice.

"My lady! My lady! Phew... Finally found you! Finally found you..."

The carriage stopped, and the relieved old servant also came to the side of the carriage, but he soon discovered the young people on the carriages behind.

"Hmm? They are..."

"They are my new servants."

Through the carriage window, Charlotte said.

Glancing at the ill-fitting clothes on the young men and women, Casimodo suddenly realized, then showed relief.

"So... it's them."

"Do you know them?"

Charlotte's heart moved.

Casimodo respectfully replied.

"Yes, my lady, the old servant has always known..."

"It's just that their parents' identities are special... and every time the old servant visits, they shut the old servant out, and the old servant doesn't know how to welcome them back."

After speaking, Casimodo looked at the girl, showing excitement and relief.

"But now, it seems unnecessary."

Charlotte fell silent. But in her heart, there was a light sigh.

How could ten years of being ignored and expelled not leave a trace of resentment?

However, that trace of resentment had dissipated when she personally came to the outer city.

However, regarding Casimodo's words, Charlotte still had some doubts.

"Parents?"

"I see many people are already very old, but their children are very young..."

Regarding this question, Casimodo didn't know how to answer.

But Sebastian beside him sighed lightly.

"Below legendary, the lifespan of extraordinary humans is not much longer than that of ordinary people. Whether it's pollution purification or loss of power, it will greatly reduce the lifespan of former extraordinary."

"They declined your offer, not just because of unwillingness, but also because they don't have many years left to live."

Charlotte fell silent.

After a long time, she sighed softly.

"Let's go home, and then... find out their current whereabouts. Send a sum of gold tana to them every month in the future to help them improve their lives."

"Those who don't have a job, let them have some easy work in the family shop."

"Kind master, I will obey your orders."

Casimodo bowed.

"Let's go, let's go home."

Charlotte said.

With that, the girl lowered the carriage curtain.

However, as soon as she turned her head, she saw the black cat Nice trying to sneak onto the carriage.

The two looked at each other.

Charlotte:...

Nice:...

"Ah hee hee... Great Miss Charlotte, good morning!"

"Meow meow meow, why didn't you tell Nice when you went out? Nice was left behind and really sad!"

The black cat widened its amber eyes and started to act cute.

Then, it saw Charlotte's expression gradually turning cold.

"Who let you on the carriage?"

Suddenly, the girl smiled.

"Get off and run after the carriage."

Nice: ???
