On the tenth day of Nilton's hanging and the tenth day of the "reconciliation" between the Turin family and the governor's office of Bain, a beautiful invitation was placed on the desks of all the dignitaries of the red blood castle.

Of course, nominally, it was just a small banquet to celebrate the renovation of the red blood Castle Palace - the Turin family explained that the loud noise from the palace hall that night was the explosion caused by experimental errors, resulting in very serious damage to the old and dilapidated hall for many years.

Therefore, after the "evil beast of red blood Castle" incident, count Charlotte Turin invited the nobles led by the count to visit after the renovation of the palace.

In the land of the Principality of Byrne, all kinds of banquets are very common - from festivals to newly brewed cellars; Even when flowers are in full bloom in all seasons, relatives and friends will be specially invited to get together.

It is worth mentioning that Charlotte de sallion, the tenth generation "Dragon Queen", came up with the idea of building a summer twilight courtyard after visiting various banquets in Bain.

But for the nobles of red blood castle, the significance of this banquet is extraordinary... Because there is a very key figure on the guest list.

Governor Byrne, Gaspar Wayne.

Only ten days have passed since the "evil beast of red blood Castle" incident. At this time, a banquet led by the whole count was suddenly held to entertain each other. In addition to goodwill, there was no doubt that there was a demonstration - the dignitaries of the whole red blood castle were all vassals of the Turin family. The countess summoned everyone at the same time, naturally showing the unity of the Turin family to each other.

Not only that, whether or not to go to the banquet at that time and how she behaves after going... Will become an important standard for the countess to judge loyal ministers, traitors and wall grass!

…………………………

"Speaking of it, I'm still a little surprised."

In the bedroom, Charlotte, sitting in front of the dressing table, straightened her waist, slightly tilted her chin, closed her eyes, and only the corners of her mouth still had a little radian.

"Huh?" Charles looked puzzled as he skillfully powdered the countess.

"I'm surprised that you can get along so well with Lauren and cooperate with each other." Charlotte's mouth radian deeper: "I thought you guys with mutually exclusive personalities might duel when you met."

"Please don't say that... Viscount Loren is not that kind of difficult person."

The gentle young man smiled with some distress, but the painting in his hand was still steady, and every move was very serious: "what's more... It's your wish to make friends with Viscount Loren - I will do my best as long as it's the order of the count."

Powder is not for concealer, it is better to say that the complexion of the countess is almost perfect, white as bone porcelain. It is silky and soft to touch; Just because of her status as a noble woman, she can't show people naked.

The fat powder imported from the imperial capital at a high price also comes from the famous alchemy workshop. It is said that the powder added with purple pistil flower and pearl, as well as the alchemy medicine configured with high-grade herbs, have the effect of nourishing the face and eliminating fatigue... Of course, whether it is true or not, there are different opinions.

Recalling that the alchemist named Ayn Rand looked at it with a flash of disdain from the corner of his eye when he saw it, Charles thought it was probably nonsense by profiteers to raise prices.

He told Charlotte the truth about it, and then she bought some for half the price, and then everything went on as usual... Charles really couldn't think of anything to express his feelings except incomprehension.

"Well... Would you do the same if I asked you to duel with him?"

"Does the count want Charles and Viscount Lorraine to be hostile?" the young man smiled gently, with a bit of cunning in his expression.

"Hum!" the countess, with a crimson face, even her coquettish and angry expression made people daydream.

"As long as it is the count's command, I will do it... Only when the count no longer trusts Viscount Loren, I will treat him as an enemy."

Charles's expression was so subtle that his hand still didn't stop; With the countess's face, after a little powder, you can basically fix the makeup, leaving only eyebrows, eyes and cherry lips.

With a few strokes, the already heroic sword eyebrow is even less angry and self threatening - as a count of the Turin family, especially as a woman, she must have a temperament enough to frighten others at any time. Just looking directly into her eyes can frighten the other party.

"Charles, don't you believe in Loren?"

"There is no distrust, just pure doubt." the housekeeper replied truthfully: "as a collaborator, even a member of the Turin family, viscount Loren is too enthusiastic."

"Oh?"

"I know very well that if it were not for Viscount Loren, the whole thing would not be so smooth, and governor Gaspar could not choose reconciliation so soon, but... Since Viscount Loren came, the initiative of the whole thing has gradually fallen into his hands."

"It seems so." Charlotte suddenly smiled. "It was like this when she was in gloven - although everyone apparently thought that his highness Brandon was secretly planning, it was this guy who was busy."

"That's right. He deserves to be regarded as a wizard consultant by his highness Brandon."

"Even so, do you still doubt him?"

"Anyone who threatens the count is Charles's suspect - even myself."

At the same time, Charles's eyes did not forget to look at the wardrobe aside - as a formal dress for Charlotte's banquet, it should naturally reflect the dignity of the host and the count; At this time, the classical and serious simple beauty is naturally the best.

But now it will be midsummer. Simple casual clothes, ribbons and sapphire necklaces for accessories, or long skirts with gradient colors are also good choices;

Byrne's traditional pleated Chinese dress is also a choice, cumbersome and solemn; The lining is dark to highlight the massiness, and it is also good to add a playful and lovely bow as an ornament. After all, the count is still a young girl

"I'm not a villain who likes to speak ill of people behind their backs, but Viscount Loren is really too strong." Charles sighed: "it's hard to believe that such a strong man has no desire for power and will succumb to his current position of 'assistant'."

The count is still very young and better suited for lipstick with a lighter color.

"You mean..."

Without saying that, the countess was pressed down by the housekeeper, and the tulip red lipstick was evenly smeared on her cherry lips.

"The next confrontation with governor Gaspar should be led by the count himself - if it continues, even if Viscount Loren doesn't really have such a plan, I'm afraid it will become more and more powerful... And finally become an indispensable person in the red blood castle and even the Turin family!"

Charles's voice trembled in silence: "in any case, the other party is still a confidant of his highness Brandon. We are only a mutually beneficial alliance with his highness - the Turin family can't easily become a vassal of another person."

The brush was put away, and the silent Charlotte slowly said, "what about... His plan?"

"Yes, of course - but it must be the count who has the initiative, and the only person who can confront governor Gaspar can be the count; as for Viscount Loren, just let him be responsible for some minor details and acceptance when necessary."

Charles continued, "I'll tell him about it... Of course, it's just a hint, but a person as smart as Viscount Loren will understand my idea - it's also for the sake of both of us. If I can, I don't want such a terrible person to become an enemy of the Turin family!"

Charlotte slowly opened her eyes. The people in the mirror were like flowers in full bloom, with a trace of awe inspiring and inviolable dignity.

Charles, who put away his tools, took the initiative to step back, put his hands behind his back, saluted the countess with great humility, and lowered his head so that people could not see his expression.

"Tonight's banquet will determine the fate of the Turin family in the next 100 years... Whether it can regain control of the red blood castle and defeat Gaspar and all the enemies will start at this banquet."

Looking back solemnly, Charlotte looked at the housekeeper who had knelt on one knee behind her:

"This is an order, Charles glenwell..."

"Prepare a banquet for me that will shock four people!"
