Not only that, but when it comes to this last "Divine Miracle," whether it was given by the "Divine Lord" or descended on its own from the "Divine Lord's" "Divine Artifact," it is still debatable.

Charlotte clearly remembered the description of the Divine Technique Counter from the Blood Holy Scripture.

The Caster was not the Divine Lord Himself, but instead, the Supreme Divine Artifact, the Creation Law Enforcement Cardinal.

As a Demigod, Charlotte had acquired a rather professional understanding of the operating mechanism of the Faith Network.

In this era where gods have retreated into seclusion, for the most part, divinities do not personally respond to their Believers. Blessings from divine arts, promotions within the clergy, and the like are often carried out according to mechanisms preordained by the deities themselves.

And as far as Charlotte knew, the Creation Law Enforcement Cardinal was supposed to be the core that the Creator Divine Lord maintained to allow faith to function—this was also recorded in many texts of the Holy Royal Court.

If her Divine Grace Blessing had come from the Creation Law Enforcement Cardinal and not directly from the Divine Lord, then there were two possibilities.

One was that her actions had been mistakenly recognized by the Divine Artifact, and the other possibility was that she had indeed attracted the "Divine Lord's" attention.

Charlotte did not know which possibility was the correct answer.

However... Considering her speculation about the identity of the Creator Divine Lord, regardless of the outcome, it might not be a bad thing for her at all.

If it was a misjudgment by the Divine Artifact, this indicated that the Blood Holy Scripture held a higher Position than she had imagined, capable of matching—and even deceiving—the sleeping Divine Lord.

And if the Divine Lord was indeed watching her in secret, it meant that the Divine Lord did not regard her as an enemy, and in a sense, it could further corroborate her guess about the identity of the Divine Lord.

Regardless of the outcome, the effects now were consistent.

That was to conclusively solidify Charlotte's identity as a Saintess and take her "negotiations" with the Bloodline and the legitimacy of her royal succession to a level that was difficult to challenge.

Charlotte even thought further ahead.

With this heavenly-sent halo, even if her Dark Night Church was fully exposed or her clandestine preaching became public, she could use this as a shield, waving a legitimate big flag.

Don't ask.

Asking means the Divine Lord's tacit approval, asking means to address the corruption of the Holy Royal Court, asking is the Great Divine Favored, Lord Charlotte, the Saintess, her profound disappointment with the Fallen Royal Court, and under the will of God, she decides to establish a new doctrine.

Meanwhile, along with this verified halo of the Saintess and the Holy Light Judgment against Campbell Grand Priest, another direct benefit was that Charlotte now had ample and reasonable grounds to take control of the Falling Star Kingdom's Holy Royal Court branch during this opportunity, effectively removing the Church Authority Country's influence from the Falling Star Kingdom.

Don't ask.

Asking means that the Church Branch of the Falling Star Kingdom had collaborated with the Fallen Bloodline, asking means they had betrayed the Divine Lord, and such a crime must be judged by Her Highness the Saintess.

In any case, Charlotte truly felt that this Divine Favored had come at just the perfect time.

Not only had it added a wave of Divine Power to the Blood Holy Scripture, but it had also indirectly resolved several issues in the Falling Star Kingdom, even providing legitimacy for her future doctrine spreading.

She really was like Qin Shi Huang touching a live wire... striking it lucky.

Of course, where there are winners, there are losers.

As the envoy from the New Moon Kingdom who had witnessed the entire process of the "Divine Miracle," the expression of Moon Guardian Duke was rather complex.

Looking at the many stars bowing to the moon, witnessing Charlotte being worshipped and submitted to by the Falling Star Nobles, Moon Guardian Duke sighed and asked respectfully:

"Your Highness the Saintess, regarding the territorial conflict between our two kingdoms, you... really won't reconsider?"

Charlotte smiled slightly and said:

"Duke, the same words as before, I am Count Castel, but just as well, I will also be the Queen of Falling Star. As a Queen... I cannot betray the interests of the Kingdom."

"Of course, my agreement with King Louis still stands, if... King Louis still recognizes it."

Hearing Charlotte's words, Moon Guardian Duke fell silent.

He perceived the implicit rejection in Charlotte's words.

As for the agreement between Charlotte and the King... that was truly a matter of the distant past.

Moon Guardian Duke understood his own King well.

If Charlotte were still Count Castel, perhaps His Majesty would still be willing to honor the agreement, but if Charlotte became the Falling Star Queen...

His Majesty would definitely not concede the mithril-rich Castel Domain to become territory of the Falling Star Kingdom.

Not even for several decades.

The future is full of uncertainties, and uncontrolled agreements would only become scraps of paper.

"I understand. I will convey everything to His Majesty," said Moon Guardian Duke with a sigh.

The banquet continued until the early hours of the morning.

As the guests dispersed and the Nobles took their leave, clearly... everything that happened tonight would soon spread across the entire Falling Star Kingdom, and even across the Mireya Continent.

Falling Star Kingdom was, after all, one of the major countries on the continent, and the change of a monarch was naturally a world-class event.

Count Stafford was visibly excited.

His face was flushed with the appearance of having drunk quite a bit.

After the Nobles had nearly all departed, he led the high-ranking members of the Parliamentary Party to Charlotte, his voice filled with excitement:

"Your Majesty the Queen, congratulations on once again receiving the Divine Favored from the Divine Lord. May the Holy Light forever be with you! May Falling Star forever be with you!"

Having said this, he took a deep breath and eagerly looked at Charlotte:

"Your Majesty, after tonight, the matter is settled. May I ask... when do you plan on officially being crowned and ascending the throne?"

A coronation...

Charlotte thought it over.

Although she was not very fond of these complex formalities, she understood that it was the tradition of the nations on Mireya Continent.

Since she had inherited the throne, inevitably, there would be a ceremony of coronation, which meant she would officially take up the Scepter and become the ruler of the Falling Star Kingdom.

After giving it some thought, Charlotte turned to Marquis Howard at her side:

"Is there any requirement for the coronation date of successive Falling Star Kings?"

Marquis Howard was taken aback for a moment before replying respectfully:

"Your Majesty, there is no explicit stipulation for the coronation dates of successive Kings. However... it is generally held on the second Friday of each month."

"The second Friday of every month? The day of the Blood Moon?"

Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly.

Marquis Howard hastened to add:

"Yes, the day of the Blood Moon. This is a tradition left over from the time when the Bloodline ruled from the shadows, influenced by the Bloodline as well. Of course... you are not necessarily bound to follow it. In fact, the Council has long intended to abolish this tradition that has continued from the Bloodline era."

Charlotte pondered for a moment and said:

"It doesn't matter. Let's set the date for the coronation on the second Friday of next month, the day of the... Blood Moon."
