"What is the Church doing? Have the priests gone blind?"
"This is the Royal Capital Lutecia, not Bold!"
As she looked at the young noble before her, Charlotte's heart was shaken.
She had never imagined that in the center of the New Moon Diocese, in one of the cities where the Holy Royal Court's power was strongest, so many of the Bloodline were still hidden!
Not only that, but these Bloodline members even dared to hold a banquet openly and even extend an invitation to her—an outsider noble!
"Count Castel, you need not put on such a serious face. We have thoroughly considered our decision to invite you to our banquet," said the young noble with a slight smile.
Meanwhile, all the nobles, servers, and maids in the banquet hall simultaneously turned their gaze toward Charlotte and smiled slightly.
Their movements were uniform, and even their smiling expressions were exactly the same, like puppets controlled by someone.
