This series of sudden changes seemed complex, but in reality, they occurred in the blink of an eye.
And the moment Charlotte completely severed her connection and completely withdrew her consciousness from the Ancient Hall, the rusty two-handed sword within the Ancient Hall burst into dazzling silver light.
The mottled scars and rust faded away in the shining brilliance, and the confused and weak consciousness swiftly awakened and grew.
The Roman Sword... had been completely awakened.
What followed was well-known.
With the appearance of the Roman Sword, the conspiracy of the Romany Royal Family was exposed, and it demanded the source of the blood.
Prince Henry, who intended to reveal Charlotte's identity, was suddenly killed by magic, and the furious Roman Sword pursued the assailant.
The series of sudden changes stunned everyone, and with the death of Prince Henry and the departure of the Roman Sword, the onlookers quickly fell into turmoil and confusion.
The ancestral recognition ceremony was declared suspended, the scene was immediately sealed off, and the City Guards quickly dispersed the crowd.
As for Duke Conte, who was "conspiring" with Prince Henry, he was scared witless at the very moment of the Prince's death and hastily fled the scene.
Charlotte had not anticipated this outcome either.
However, when the Roman Sword suddenly rose to chase the killer, she made two surprising discoveries.
One was that the mysterious Transcendent who had acted was the third legendary individual with Bloodline power in Luon City that she had previously sensed.
The second was that the force emanating from the Roman Sword felt incredibly familiar—it shared the same origin as her power, the aura of the Blood Divine Power.
Charlotte nearly realized it in an instant.
The resting place of the Roman Sword was the Ancient Hall, and the Faceless Divine Statue that had once existed within the Ancient Hall was likely within the body of the Roman Sword, or rather... it very well could be the Roman Sword itself!
"Albrecht, catch up and see what's really going on," Charlotte hastily commanded nearby Albrecht.
Upon receiving Charlotte's orders, Albrecht quickly set out in pursuit.
It was only when a resonant dragon's roar echoed that Charlotte finally remembered that Odosia, who was "protecting" her, was still on the viewing platform:
"That sound... it's Odosia!"
Charlotte slapped her forehead.
There had been too many unexpected events today; she had actually forgotten about her!
Not bothering with her own fatigue, Charlotte quickly left the secret room and rushed towards the ground.
By the time she arrived at the plaza, a standoff was already underway.
Whether considering the still-evacuating crowd or Odosia's safety, Charlotte, of course, could not let the fight really break out, so she immediately chose to stop it.
Upon seeing Charlotte, Odosia finally calmed down and reverted to her human form in submission to her.
Charlotte then let out a sigh of relief, slightly headache-ridden, and looked at the astonished nobles and knights with a pinch of her skirt and a slight curtsy, apologizing:
"I'm sorry... everyone, my maid has a bit of a temper, I'm afraid she startled you all."
You call that big, terrifying presence a maid?!
Their expressions were bizarre, they looked at each other, a classic complaint stuck in their throats, unsure of how to voice it.
After Charlotte spoke, she narrowed her eyes towards another direction:
"Miss Mercenary, where might you... be going?"
There, the "Count Castel," who had been preparing to quietly exit, suddenly froze.
