Upon entering the City of Angels, Luvia sensed a spell enveloping her. However, there was no hostility. It seemed to be just a scrying spell, so she didn't let it bother her or show any signs of animosity.
In the heart of Adra Castle's central area, numerous esteemed magi had already gathered.
Heine Istari, the head of the renowned alchemist family Istari, a skilled alchemist known for fending off Church agents on multiple occasions.
Orlocke Caesarmund, a recognized authority in Butterfly Magecraft.
Jiroubou Seigen Tokitou, a representative of a Japanese Magus Family practicing the ancient art of Shugendō Magecraft.
And countless others.
They had all been enticed by the allure of the Holy Grail... Luvia couldn't help but sneer elegantly at the thought.
"Oh my, isn't this the filthy hyena of the Edelfelt family?" remarked an old man in a wheelchair, accompanied by a blond youth, as they approached Luvia.
And there stood Orlocke Caesarmund, a highly esteemed individual renowned for his extensive expertise in butterfly magecraft.
Luvia narrowed her eyes, "So the old man is still kicking, huh? Even in your advanced age, you're still drawn to the so-called Holy Grail?"
"Impossible," Caesarmund smiled and retorted, "It's all just a flashy trick. If such a thing truly existed, the Holy Church would have swept this place clean ages ago. I was invited here by the owner of the Castle, my dear friend, to witness his will."
After a brief pause, he asked, "And what about the Edelfelt family's Heyna? Are you here in pursuit of the Holy Grail?"
She responded with a slight smile, "Of course."
Caesarmund smirked, "I'm think not. Considering the Edelfelt family's reputation as Hyena, I assume you're here to lay claim to the inheritance?"
Luvia retrieved the invitation letter and declared, "It clearly states here. Attendance grants one the qualifications to inherit the estate. Since this old man so graciously referred to me as a Hyena, I simply cannot pass up this opportunity."
"Absolutely shameless... The Edelfelt family, infamous for their relentless pursuit of inheritances," he commented. "However, seizing the inheritance of Adra Castle won't be as simple as the Edelfelt family hopes."
Luvia scanned her surroundings, a confident smile gracing her lips. "With just these individuals, the Edelfelt family is bound to secure the inheritance."
Caesarmund pointed towards a woman standing on the second floor and asked, "Miss Hyena, do you recognize that woman?"
"Who is she?" Luvia asked.
"She's Adashino Hishiri, a member of the Clock Tower's Department of Policies."
"The Clock Tower's Department of Policies..." Luvia's expression involuntarily turned into a frown.
No magi would hear the mention of the "Department of Policies" and not find it troublesome.
And she was no exception. In a way, the Clock Tower's Department of Policies was akin to the Edelfelt family—a band of thieves competing to claim others' fortunes.
"Does the Clock Tower's Department of Policies have a say in the distribution of Adra Castle's inheritance?"
Caesarmund nodded affirmatively. "Indeed. Moreover, there are many others who have arrived here for Adra Castle besides these people."
Before he could finish his sentence, a powerful surge of magic burst through the door.
At the forefront was a girl enveloped in a celestial aura, resembling a youthful queen.
