Charlotte was a little surprised.

It wasn't the friendly demeanor of the Harcos Clan's Great Prophet towards her that had surprised her, but rather the title used to address her.

Since crossing over, Charlotte's head had been crowned with many titles, and the one that could be placed at the forefront must be the one of the highest status.

Saintess of the Creator God...

Clearly, among Charlotte's many identities, the Great Prophet of the Harcos Clan valued her identity in the Holy Royal Court the most.

This was thought-provoking.

You see, although everyone regarded Charlotte as the Saintess of the Creator God, Charlotte's own family knew their business—her Saintess identity was completely fake, many Divine Miracles were just special effects created by the Divine Technique Counter.

She might indeed know "Haral," but the "Divine Miracles" she had caused so far were not under Haral's protection.

Others might not be aware of these things, but as members of the Bloodline, the Harcos Clan definitely knew she was not a true Saintess.

As for how Charlotte knew this... She learned from the memories of Sigurd she had read that members of the Harcos Clan's squad had obtained information about her from the Queen's Palace before leaving the Holy Land, and the information clearly positioned her as a Favored of a Bloodline Prince.

But now...

Was this a deliberate reveal of her false identity, or was there another meaning behind it?

"Your Excellency Great Prophet, you jest, I am just a fortunate individual who is favored, not the Saintess of the Creator God—the talk of a Saintess is merely a rumor spread by the people."

Charlotte responded.

Regardless, the Bloodline and the Holy Royal Court were enemies.

Even if she deliberately allowed the rumors of her Saintess identity to spread outside, when facing the Bloodline, Charlotte needed to sever her connection with the Holy Royal Court as much as possible.

Look at those Bloodline members guarding the palace.

The moment the Great Prophet called her "Saintess of the Creator God," their expressions all changed, looking as if they were facing a great enemy.

Regarding Charlotte's denial, the Great Prophet made no comment.

She looked at Charlotte meaningfully and smiled,

"Queen Charlotte, Sofia has told me of the assistance you have provided to my clan along the way. To express our gratitude, the clan has prepared a banquet at the Queen's Palace."

A banquet of the Bloodline?

Charlotte slightly raised an eyebrow.

In Mireya, banquets were a primary form of social interaction among the nobles. If one wished to quickly establish connections with the local nobility, the best way was to attend a local Lord's banquet.

The same was true for the Bloodline.

It was even said that Mireyan nobles' use of banquets as a tool for social interaction originated from the Bloodline.

"A banquet held in the Queen's Palace means that the high ranks of the Harcos Clan are likely to be present, giving me a chance to understand the Harcos Clan and the Crimson Queen better,"

Charlotte thought to herself.

After a brief contemplation, she nodded and accepted the invitation.

Led by the Great Prophet of the Harcos Clan, Charlotte entered the annex of the Queen's Palace.

Stepping into the palace, Charlotte distinctly felt her spiritual power being further suppressed, almost unable to extend outside her body.

Meanwhile, the throbbing of her bloodline grew stronger, and the Blood Holy Scripture deep within her consciousness shone even brighter.

If Charlotte had not already mastered the Blood Holy Scripture, she might have even suspected it would fly out on its own, thirstily absorbing the omnipresent Bloodline Power in the palace.

Particularly in the main hall of the Queen's Palace, Charlotte sensed the strongest attraction coming from there.

Charlotte kept her composure on the surface but mentally noted the location of the main hall.

Meanwhile, she quietly circulated her Blood Divine Power within her body, calming the restless Blood Holy Scripture and enhancing her spiritual power with the Divine Power to facilitate her perception and exploration in the palace.

Like the Nais Clan, the Harcos Clan also continued the luxurious tradition of the Bloodline.

Inside the palace, exquisitely beautiful decorations and priceless jewels and relics were everywhere, its extravagance even surpassing that of the New Moon Palace.

When Charlotte arrived at the banquet hall, there were already thousands of Bloodline members waiting.

They were dressed elegantly, wearing ancient crests, standing under the bright lights of the palace, and they all bowed in unison to the Great Prophet and Charlotte, creating a grand scene.

This scene was much more spectacular than what Charlotte had seen at the Nais Clan's station.

The Nais Clan had exhausted their wealth in the Star Moon War, and their central castle was significantly plainer than Harcos's Queen's Palace; although there were more of the Bloodline, their attire was also much simpler, "plainer."

The Harcos Clan was completely different.

Such a lavish and spectacular scene even surpassed the state banquet of the New Moon Kingdom.

However, despite the grand welcome banquet hosted by the Harcos, Charlotte noticed some subtle aspects.

The first was the aura of the Bloodline members in the hall.

It would be one thing if Charlotte's perception was still suppressed, but the Prohibition power in the Queen's Palace was obviously of a legendary level; here, even a legendary would struggle to investigate others' conditions.

But Charlotte was a Demigod.

Quietly running her Blood Divine Power, she was able to resist the palace's Prohibition to some extent and maintain her senses of the surroundings.

Under her perception, although the thousands of Bloodline members in the hall were dressed elegantly, stylish, and had a commanding presence, their actual strength... was quite lacking.
