"Amazing, Lord Castel, where did you find such a professional body double?"
He walked around Albrecht, clicking his tongue in amazement.
"The voice… it sounds somewhat familiar."
Albrecht immediately shut his mouth and looked away.
Charlotte smiled and reminded,
"When you're at the ceremony, remember to use my voice too."
Albrecht paused for a moment before nodding.
Seeing the body double was unwilling to reveal his identity, Yulster didn't mind.
With such advanced illusion magic, he must be a seasoned magician with considerable strength.
At this, Yulster couldn't help but glance at Charlotte.
To have a powerful magician cross-dressing, this young earl did indeed have profound resources.
However, considering the backing Lord Castel had, Yulster suddenly felt it was all quite normal.
"Lord Castel, soon… we'll split into two groups. Your double will take the Royal carriage to the ceremony, while you and I, in the guise of staff, will head to the square. Someone will meet you there and lead you directly to the underground chamber for the ceremony," Yulster said.
Charlotte nodded slightly,
"I understand, I'll go with you. As for my double, my maid, Odosia, will accompany her."
Yulster was momentarily stunned.
He looked up and finally noticed the Black Dragon Maid hidden in the shadows, his eyes widening,
He was not unfamiliar with Odosia; after all, he and Sebastian had fought with her in the Legris Baron Domain.
Recognizing Odosia's identity now, Yulster's expression was even more colorful.
Especially after recalling Charlotte's recent words…
Odosia… was actually Lord Castel's maid!
By the True Ancestor!
The Black Dragon had submitted to the True Ancestor, hadn't it?
How had it become Lord Castel's maid?
What exactly was Lord Castel's relationship with the True Ancestor?
One must say, at this moment, Yulster felt somewhat sour.
Since becoming a Blood Favored of the True Ancestor, whether helping within the Nais Clan to select seeds for the True Ancestor, gathering intelligence, or running myriad errands, he had never received such treatment!
Though he knew Lord Castel was the deputy of the True Ancestor... was this not favoritism?
Yulster had to admit,
At this moment, he felt somewhat envious and jealous.
With a complicated look at Charlotte, Yulster sighed inwardly,
Compared to two thousand years ago, the True Ancestor seemed not only gentler but also more generous.
He even granted subordinates a subdued giant dragon!
This was a Black Dragon!
Not just some lesser species with a lineage of Dragon Descendants!
He really wondered when he, Yulster, would receive such treatment…
Watching Yulster's complex expression, Charlotte sensed what he might have misunderstood.
She smiled slightly and said,
"Lord Yulster, God's eyes are always watching everything. Those who work diligently will never be left unrewarded."
Hearing Charlotte's words, Yulster stiffened slightly, his expression turning slightly awkward.
He exchanged a glance with Charlotte, took a deep breath, and resumed his elegant and appropriate smile,
"I understand, Lord Castel, thank you for your advice."
Just then, the reception room door was gently knocked, and the voice of the hotel envoy came from outside:
"Lord Yulster, Lord Castel, the Royal reception carriage has arrived."
Yulster was stirred, smiling,
"They are here, Lord Castel, let us proceed."
The group left the reception hall and arrived at the hotel entrance, only to see two magnificent carriages parked, each emblazoned with the Romany Royal Family's lilac crest.
The first carriage was larger and more luxurious, even equipped with a lavish protective array.
The second was slightly smaller but equally elegant.
At the carriages, fully armed Royal Knights stood guard. Upon seeing Yulster and "Charlotte," they promptly saluted:
"Lord Yulster, Lord Castel."
Yulster nodded slightly.
He scrutinized the leading knight and frowned,
"Eh? Isn't Sir Sheldon leading today?"
"At your service, my lord. The square today has attracted many civilians, and Sir Sheldon was summoned to assist, so I have been assigned to lead," replied the Royal Knight respectfully.
"What's your name? I don't seem to have seen you before?" Yulster queried, still frowning.
The Royal Knight took out a badge from his chest and presented it with both hands,
"My Lord, my name is Albert, recently transferred to the Royal Knight Order."
Yulster took the badge, infused a thread of magic power into it, and it emitted a faint light, matching the knight's magical aura.
He nodded slightly, acknowledging,
"Alright, your identity checks out."
Turning to "Charlotte," Yulster smiled,
"Lord, this is the Romany Royal Family's distinguished guest reception carriage. Its main features are the exceptional soundproofing array and transcendent array, not only ensuring utmost privacy but also reputed to withstand a strike from a legendary warrior… Only real guests of honor are allowed such privilege."
