"You refused?!"

Charlotte Turin's expression looked so unbelievable that she forgot her original reserve and pride, and forgot that she was in a mixed place like the summer twilight courtyard.

She just stared at the dark haired wizard in front of her, as if to tear open the indifferent face and see the hidden heart... Wrapped in the core of ambition.

"Don't get me wrong... The commitments that should be fulfilled will not be reduced, and I will return to red blood castle with you - but... That's all."

Loren calmly looked at the excited countess in front of him, and his dark pupils glittered with strange luster; He shook his head, a little regretful.

Brandon should not have been allowed to explain to Charlotte Turin himself.

"You can rest assured... I won't marry you, and I'm not going to be the count of red blood castle, let alone the leader of the Turin family - my only purpose around you is to ensure that the Turin family will not betray Brandon de sallion for the time being."

Charlotte still frowned, looked suspiciously, looked calm, and some impatient black haired wizards.

"That's all?"

"That's all." Loren opened his eyes and looked at the countess: "let's make things easier... The reason for this farce is that the prince doesn't want to leave the imperial capital Golovin; at the same time, you both need each other's support, but you can't trust each other."

"So I'll save you this trouble - our only requirement is that the Turin family will not betray Brandon de sallion; in addition, you don't have to continue to monitor me at all, or beware that I will have any unreasonable thoughts about you and red blood castle, because I haven't been interested in this from the beginning."

"Then again, do I really look like that... Ambitious guy?"

"Not interested in...?"

The voice was about to fall, and the countess suddenly looked like frost, gnashing her teeth in a tone word by word:

"The glory of Byrne, the glory of the Turin family, the glory of inheriting thousands of years..."

"For you... Is interest?"

Uh... Did I say something wrong?

"I, if I say something wrong, please forgive me, because..."

"Excuse me?" the cold Countess snorted, "such a generous and tolerant proposal... Where do I need to forgive?!"

"No, you misunderstood, I just..."

"Shut up!"

Charlotte, who was completely humiliated and angry, was completely furious: "shut up, Loren Turin! You and I don't allow you to continue to humiliate me and the Turin family!"

Lauren frowned slightly. He didn't expect Charlotte to be so excited; Just wanted to explain something, but the countess didn't give him the chance at all.

"Who do you think I am --!!!"

Seeing the suddenly angry girl, Loren resolutely chose to shut up.

"I am the leader of the Turin family, the only direct blood relative of the black Duke Roland Turin, and the Countess of the red blood castle. No one in the whole empire dares to humiliate me like this! Do you think that just a little flattery and a gesture can make me forget your humiliation? Are you going to break up with the Turin family?"

"No interest, no want... Who will believe your nonsense; I warn you, don't think that the decline of the Turin family can allow you and Brandon de sallion to humiliate wantonly; we may be weak, but we're not cheap enough to be humble to others!"

The girl's sharp voice with a little hysteria and tragic meaning poured out her anger. The sad and angry voice didn't expect the black haired wizard in front of her to listen. The fingers of her hands clenching the handkerchief turned white, which was a symptom of clenching her fist too hard.

In a sense, she guessed right. Lauren didn't listen to what she was saying, but she didn't understand why she was so excited that she was hysterical.

The Turin family, which has lost the whole two generations of the principality and even wants a girl to become the family leader, has reached the critical juncture of survival and extinction... Otherwise, why did Charlotte Turin risk coming to the imperial capital and marry Brandon de Salion at any cost?

For this once strong but declining family, dignity has become as important as life, and also makes the girl extremely sensitive... She can't, let alone show weakness a little, otherwise the family behind her will lose the last thing to be proud of.

She can accept the exchange of interests, even unfair treaties, but she can never accept superior humiliation; So when the dark haired wizard said he was "not interested" in these, Charlotte was so excited that she was angry.

Loren or Brandon... In her heart, they are just tools to revive the family. She can't imagine that these people will be indifferent to wealth and power.

So he said it just to humiliate himself! Humiliating the Turin family and taking the initiative!

The girl took a deep breath and shrugged her shoulders to calm her mood to the point where she could keep her mind and not lose her dignity... She has lost her manners today. Continuing this way can only make this shameless bastard look down on himself and the Turin family.

Slowly opening her eyes, Charlotte, whose face was like frost, stared at the black haired Wizard:

"Loren Turin... Tell me, what do you want?"

What do I want... The dark pupils flickered slightly, a strange smile floated from the corners of the black haired wizard's mouth, and the eyes watching the countess became more subtle:

"Don't you already have the answer?"

"You?!"

The girl subconsciously wanted to refute him, but when she saw those eyes, there was a little more fear in her heart for no reason.

Maybe... He didn't mean to humiliate himself?

"Glory, wealth, power, supreme power... You, you really don't want these?"

How is this possible

She opened her mouth, but Charlotte never said a word; As if it was just a moment, she seemed to have lost sight of the dark haired wizard.

What does he want... What is he longing for?

People who yearn for glory... What they pursue is only the opportunity to prove themselves, the glory that can shine in front of others;

People who long for wealth... What they pursue is only those crystal clear small coins; As long as they put the gold coins in front of them, these people can even abandon their lives and souls and sell the rope hanging themselves to their enemies;

For ambitious people, power is poison and the only antidote; Only by gaining more power can they fill their empty hearts, but it won't take long for them to have more desires;

They... Just like this

But Loren, Loren Turin

"I know what you are thinking, count Charlotte Turin."

Smiling and shaking his head, the black haired wizard's expression is very subtle: "I know that for you... This exchange of interests has become a mindset. You don't believe that there are people in the world who want nothing, nor do you believe that someone will be willing to do anything without return."

"There's nothing wrong with that... In a sense."

The countess frowned slightly and her fingers were white.

"What I want to tell you is that what you can take out is... Unattractive to me." Loren, who spoke softly, said lazily as if he were joking:

"I know it's incredible for you, but that's the truth... Yes, I don't understand, but I really don't have any plans in this regard."

"Or in your words... That's not what I want and pursue."

"Maybe you just don't know!" the girl hummed coldly and still refused to give in:

"Don't think you are special... Many ambitious people are like you before they really contact power, but when they really taste the 'sweetness'... They are just a confused layman!"

"Maybe." Lauren's voice was smiling, indifferent like the cold wind on a summer night:

"A long time ago, I had a very clear goal..."

"But the more I understand the world, the more I see the truth, and the more I know my situation, the more I find..."

"Maybe my wish... Can only be realized after death."
