Charlotte didn't know much about the Duke of Boulder's family.

After all, even if she inherited the memories of her predecessor, her predecessor had not left the manor for ten years.

However, Lenno's visit gave Charlotte a wake-up call and made her aware of a rather serious problem.

That is the current situation of the Castel family.

To be more precise, her own current situation.

It doesn't matter when Mrs. Castle became a vampire, or what her previous strength was.

Before last night's sacrifice, the old lady had indeed been the chief and protector of the Castel family.

Now, the person in charge is dead.

Died suddenly.

The Castel family has only one female heir who is still underage.

It would be fine if Charlotte inherited an ordinary earl title.

But she's not.

Through memory fusion, Charlotte knew how rich the family he was going to inherit was.

Let's put it this way, the manor steward in my memory once proudly mentioned: The entire Earl of Castells contributed more than one-sixth of the fiscal revenue of the Duchy of Boulder.

What is this concept?

Two-thirds of the Duchy of Bold's financial revenue comes from taxes on the territory directly under the duke's family, and one-third comes from vassal contract taxes on vassal nobles.

As for the Castel family, as a vassal noble, they capture half of the contract tax revenue outside the direct jurisdiction of the Principality of Boulder!

In other words, there are more than ten other vassals at the same level as the Castel family in the Principality of Boulder. The contract taxes paid by all the families combined are barely equal to the Castel family...

The taxes handed over to the lords were only a quarter of the Castel family's income.

If we really wanted to calculate it, the apparent income of the Castel family would probably be close to that of the principality’s direct territory!

Although the Principality of Bold is generally a relatively remote, poor and backward one in the kingdom, its status is somewhat similar to the central and western provinces of the Celestial Empire.

But even among the most affluent principalities, the Earldom of Castells is considered a quite wealthy territory.

If we compare it to China, it is an economically developed second-tier city in the central and western provinces.

Then the problem comes.

A large and prosperous territory.

A minor female heir.

Will Charlotte's inheritance of the territory really be smooth sailing?

Can she succeed in inheriting the title?

After inheriting, can you keep it?

At this moment, various little plots about power struggles began to spread in Charlotte's little mind...

At the same time, whether it was the church's overtures or the Duke's family's invitation, they became much more intriguing in Charlotte's eyes.

Charlotte felt a little headache.

The hidden danger of the vampire identity has not yet been resolved, and she is likely to fall into a power struggle in the principality.

Game of Thrones has always been undercurrent, cruel and dark.

Just because she looks more cute and charming, and Chu Chu is more pitiful, everything will get better.

This is not a Mary Sue novel!

Acting cute and pretending to be stupid can indeed build goodwill and almost lower other people's wariness.

But that only exists when there is no conflict of interest, or the conflict of interest is not big enough.

Not to mention, even without mentioning wealth, her appearance is enough to be coveted.

After all, after experiencing the baptism of all kinds of pictures of beauties on the Internet in her previous life, she could still be obsessed with herself in front of the mirror, shouting that wearing this face would make her whole life worthwhile!

"Some things, when it's time to give up, you must give up in time..."

Charlotte thought again of Lenno's hint before he left.

She understood.

The other party was suggesting that she should consider giving up the inheritance rights of the territory as a last resort to avoid being affected by the power struggle among the nobles.

but……

"Why should I give up?"

Charlotte shook her head.

She had survived the blood sacrifice. Could it be that her current situation was worse than hanging on the cross last night?

Even if you get involved in a struggle and get into crisis, that will happen in the future, right?

Nothing has happened yet, right?

Not to mention, will everything be fine if she gives up her right to inherit the territory?

There are some things that can be planned for a rainy day, but it doesn't mean that you are so scared that you just give up before it rains.

And, is she really just a little girl with no power?

No.

she has.

Although he is still very weak now, Charlotte knows that the road to transcendence is already open to him.

Charlotte thought of the "Bible of Blood" in her consciousness.

This is her golden finger.

It is also an opportunity for her to become stronger.

All she needs is time.

She needs time to strengthen herself and consolidate her position in this world.

As long as she becomes strong enough, she can keep everything that belongs to her.

Territory is not only wealth, but also support.

She must find a way to inherit it, because that will be the soil on which she will survive in the future.

She is a vampire!

Is there any place more suitable for hiding one's identity than one's own territory?

Of course, before she is strong enough, she also needs some appropriate and clever skills to resolve the disasters she may encounter...

She will make the most of everything available to her.

"Soldiers will stop us, and water will cover us. Although the future is still unclear, it is not without hope."

Charlotte secretly thought in her heart.

After suppressing these worries, Charlotte shifted her focus again to charging the "Blood Sacred Scripture".

The nobility has the rules of the nobility, and the church has the order of the church.

She should be relatively stable these days.

Although it is a bit strange to live in a church hospital despite being a vampire, it is still a kind of shelter in a sense.

She can't do anything more now, so she'd better think about how to fully charge the Holy Scripture and develop more of its functions.

At the same time, I also took this opportunity to learn more about extraordinary powers through the priests in the hospital.

Of course, you also have to study your body carefully!

Well, it's not the kind of colorful research, but the scientific research of "blood clan" (serious face)...

Thinking of this, Charlotte raised her head again and looked at Priest Lottie who was still madly complaining about Lenno's rude behavior.

In her eyes, this gentle, beautiful, kind and considerate priest sister is already a reserve power bank for the Holy Code and a popular science guide for survival in another world.

Charlotte took a deep breath, raised her beautiful face slightly, and began to skillfully act cute and pretend to be pitiful.

She poked her wound that was about to heal, and the familiar pain came, and the hazy mist filled her eyes again.

Charlotte snorted, her face turned pale, and her eyes suddenly filled with tears.

"What's wrong? Miss Charlotte, are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing the girl's pitiful yet strong-willed expression, Lottie felt her heart tighten and feel pity for her.

That pitiful and sensible little appearance made her motherly nature burst out immediately.

"Sister Lottie..."

Charlotte raised her head and looked at the other party with her big, watery blue eyes.
