The twinkling lights above everyone's heads looked like a bunch of mischievous fairies winking at them.
Soon, as if summoned, three bright stars, twinkling with light, slowly drifted down from the sky.
They trailed long, golden tails, tracing winding paths through the air before landing on Victor.
The three stars gradually lost their shimmering starlight, transforming into golden stars with a steel-like texture, which landed on Viktor's chest.
【Blessings from the Stars】
This represents the status symbol of the kingdom's nobles.
Even after obtaining three stars, Viktor remained calm, as if he had expected this all along.
The nobles finally understood.
No wonder, even though it was about transferring territory, Viktor ended up here.
It seems that Bishop Michaela of the Church of Abundance came to find a way to persuade the people.
This allowed Victor to rightfully acquire the territory of Shulburn.
None of the lords sitting here are fools.
They seemed to understand it completely.
The three of them put on a show specifically for the people present.
Otherwise, why would Grand Duke Barlow remain so calm when outsiders broke into the palace?
Even the guards outside the door didn't stop them?
All of this seems to make sense now.
Victor needs a reason to take over the kingdom's territory as a member of the Empire.
And that reason was Priscilla.
As for Priscilla's opinion?
The offspring of a sinner, and also a vampire.
Does her opinion matter?
After figuring all this out, the anger in the hearts of the nobles present dissipated considerably.
They even felt it was somewhat natural.
Because, strictly speaking, the territory of Shulburn was practically rightfully Viktor's.
Without Victor, they might have all perished in Shulburn on that hellish night.
With this in mind, whether Priscilla needed to be exiled or whether she would become the lord of Shulbon was no longer important to everyone.
After Victor received the title of Honorary Earl of the Kingdom, they all greeted him with smiles.
The exchange of pleasantries and well wishes continued.
"Congratulations, Senator Clavner."
"Congratulations, Your Excellency Victor."
"I felt a sense of familiarity when I first saw Mr. Victor. So that's why."
"From now on, Mr. Victor will have a new identity: Earl of the Kingdom, hahahaha."
The entire palace was filled with joyful laughter, as if all the previous resentment had been wiped away.
The heavy atmosphere was lifted by waves of laughter, and the air was filled with a relaxed and joyful mood.
Laughter drifted out of the palace, carried by the breeze and sunlight, and into the clear sky.
......
Glug glug—
The wheels rolled over the brick road, the crisp clanging sound accompanying the passing carriages.
The rhythmic swaying of the carriage was mixed in with the movement as it sped forward.
Inside the car, Victor gazed at the scenery outside the window, somewhat lost in thought.
But in reality, Viktor was organizing his backpack, which was unique to him as a player.
Focus on the illusory scene of adjacent items in the backpack.
Outside the window, a golden streak of light flashed across Viktor's view, passed through the window, and entered the carriage.
The ethereal golden aura, like flowing water, slowly scattered and gathered on the seat opposite Victor.
As the faint light faded, the figure of a nun in black appeared before him.
Michaela's face remained calm, her body exuding a gentle and tranquil aura, like spring water.
Viktor snapped out of his daze and looked at her:
"As expected of the bishop of the Church of Abundance, his methods are quite good."
Michaela looked up, a gentle breeze stirring the carriage, and she smiled softly:
“How else can we make a deal with Mr. Victor?”
Viktor remained expressionless.
His deep gaze fell upon Michaela's eyes, which were lightly veiled by a thin gauze, and he responded calmly:
"Then let's speak frankly and openly."
"The messenger of the goddess of abundance."
