With the conclusion of the reception dinner, the news that Duke Esiah, one of the heirs to the throne, had renounced his claim and submitted to Count Castel spread rapidly.

Along with this significant news, the peace treaty between Charlotte and the Bloodline and the trial of Campbell Grand Priest conducted by Charlotte during the banquet, including the Divine Miracle that occurred before everyone's eyes, also spread.

The heir to the throne submitted, and the Bloodline behind him compromised.

Without a foundation or a leader, the Lilac Party nobles surrendered within a matter of a few days, and the looming shadow of a civil war in Falling Star Kingdom almost instantly dissipated.

Putting aside the Bloodline's influence strictly speaking, the nobles of Falling Star actually were not opposed to Charlotte's accession to the throne—on the whole, they were quite welcoming of it.

This was not only due to the prestige of Charlotte as the "Saintess," but also to the commitments she made to the Falling Star nobles as propagated by the Parliamentary Party—

After her future abdication, the ancient Falling Star elective succession system would be reinstated.

Such a monarch who empowers the nobles would naturally be welcomed by the noble group, even if it was just a promise for the future.

In the following days, the nobles traveling to Falling Star City to pay homage to Charlotte were endless.

The situation was now clear, dukes, earls, viscounts... Whether from the neutral or Lilac factions, all the nobles of Falling Star who heard the news chose to submit.

Although she had not yet been officially crowned, the title of Her Majesty was already on the lips of all the nobles.

At the same time, riding the aftermath of the Divine Miracle at the banquet, Charlotte promptly publicized the collusion between Campbell Grand Priest and the "Fallen Bloodline," nailing the Falling Star branch of the Holy Royal Court to a pillar of shame.

The branch of the Holy Royal Court in Falling Star Kingdom had already been declining under the joint ostracism of the native Falling Star nobility and the Nais Clan. Charlotte's actions nearly dismantled their foundation in Falling Star directly.

As the "Saintess," Charlotte quite naturally took over the control of the Church branch in Falling Star Kingdom.

She even encountered no resistance from the priests.

Not only that... Many priests cheered jubilantly at her arrival.

This development was beyond the expectations of many of the Bloodline.

In fact, the Elder Council of the Nais Clan had prepared for the potential interference from the Holy Royal Court and even a possible religious war following the True Ancestor's takeover of Falling Star.

However... the interference from the Holy Royal Court did not come, instead, the local church in Falling Star "welcomed its rulers with open arms."

The Nais leaders did not know Count Castel's true identity, but they were aware that Count Castel was a "True Ancestor's Favored."

Although... They did not know why this "True Ancestor's Favored" had become the Saintess of the Holy Royal Court.

One could say, this world was truly fascinating; even Badak, who had lived for two thousand years, was baffled.

The Bloodline did not know how their ancient ancestor had done it, only feeling that the True Ancestor upon her return seemed even more omnipotent and enigmatic.

However, although Charlotte had acquired control over the Holy Royal Court branch in Falling Star, she did not rashly start preaching in Falling Star Kingdom.

Her base in Falling Star was not yet stable, and her control over the local branch was also shaky, she planned to first subtly infiltrate and gradually convert the branch to foster faith in herself.

And when the time was right in the future, she would gradually build momentum, eventually aiming to merge the transformed branch with the Dark Night Church.

It was a bold idea, essentially encroaching into the Holy Royal Court's domain, but with the "Divine Lord" herself having performed a Divine Miracle, it held considerable feasibility.

The only thing Charlotte needed to look out for was likely interference from the Church Authority Country.

Of course, considering the distance between the Church Authority Country and Falling Star Kingdom, that might be something way in the future.

Five days after Duke Esiah announced his renunciation of the throne, the busy Charlotte finally welcomed another group of visitors with unique identities—

The Legendary Transcendents of Falling Star Kingdom.

"Praise the Holy, Your Majesty the Queen, your fame and deeds have spread to every corner of Falling Star Kingdom, may Falling Star be with you, may the Holy Light be with you."

Inside the Red Palace, three aged Transcendents bowed and greeted Charlotte.

Charlotte sat on the throne, observing the three men in varying attire, and information she had previously learned about them surfaced in her mind.

Duke Gael, the Legendary Sword Saint of Falling Star Kingdom, who guarded the northern coastline of Falling Star Kingdom, constantly battling sea beasts, represented the neutral faction nobles.

Brin, the Legendary Mage of Falling Star Kingdom, rumored to have a good relationship with the Bloodline but who never meddled in politics, served as the Honorary Chairman of the Kingdom Mage Association, immersed in various magical researches.

Viscount Lorenzi, the Red Dragon Knight of Falling Star Kingdom, with elf lineage and an adult red dragon as his contract partner, who had personally participated in the Star Moon War, and was also the Group Leader of the largest mercenary corps in Falling Star Kingdom, the Red Dragon Mercenary Group.

These three legends represented the pinnacle of the transcendent domain in Falling Star Kingdom; they belonged to different factions but maintained a neutral stance on the succession issue in Falling Star.

Charlotte had been carefully studying the specific situation in Falling Star Kingdom these days.

Unlike New Moon Kingdom, where the official legends all obeyed the New Moon King, they could genuinely be called followers of Louis V.
