Chapter 618

"Charles... You really, really make me..."

Dressed in a black dress like a military dress, Charlotte sat on the armchair in the palace hall and looked down at the red blood Castle housekeeper who was half kneeling in front of her. Bei teeth clenched and said those words. The faint loss and incredible eyes finally turned into a long sigh, and her expression recovered her usual calm:

"I won't investigate the private mobilization of troops and palace knights for the time being. You did a good job... Anyway, Gaspar is our most important enemy. If we can defeat him, of course, we have to do everything."

Well done

Just hearing this sentence, Charles half kneeling on the ground can imagine how heartbroken Charlotte is at the moment! The most trusted person finally went against his will, did her most shameful thing, and even deliberately kept her in the dark; But everything I do is to protect her and think of her

I'm afraid only she herself can really understand how bitter such a tangled and complex emotion is.

"I'm really sorry, everything is my responsibility!"

With a slight tremor in his heart, Charles clenched his teeth and lowered his head deeply: "the count knows nothing about the attack on the caravan or the encirclement and suppression of the blood cult tonight. It's all my own orders, and all the responsibilities are on me! If the empire is investigated afterwards, I..."

"Don't say such irresponsible things to me, Charles!"

Charlotte suddenly got up from the armchair, and the corners of her mouth trembled slightly: "don't think it is for me. You can't bear such a great responsibility - you are the manager of red blood Castle appointed by me. Even if you are held accountable, it should be me, not you!"

Charles's eyes flickered and almost buried his head on the ground.

"Come on, don't be so nervous - if everything is in your plan, the heavenly palace will not make trouble for us with the shameful scandal of 'the governor is a heresy' at that time."

With a sigh, the countess couldn't help humming coldly: "what's more, it should be Loren Turin who could have expected that this guy was really so self righteous and good at making ideas, and didn't forget to drag others; even you had to cover for him everywhere... If the guard chief Youlun didn't notice something wrong, I would still be in the dark!"

The housekeeper of Wen Yan didn't dare to say a word more. It would be better to have an "outlet" for the count to complain at this time. Anyway, the wizard won't be like this. Can he sneeze more?

What's more, according to Charles's understanding of Charlotte, generally when she began to complain, it showed that she had almost calmed down, but she couldn't wipe face for a time and didn't want to spare each other easily, so she just buried a lot of words.

And Charles noticed a very important point - the count called the wizard his Excellency "Loren Turin", not "Loren" or "Viscount Loren".

This small change is crucial, because Charlotte has never regarded Lord Loren as a member of the Turin family before. It is entirely because of the alliance with his highness Brandon that Charlotte had to allow him to appear in the red blood castle.

When did the change begin, or did the count have a crush on him

"And... How are you doing with that bastard's plan?"

With another cold hum, Charlotte, who barely calmed her mood, turned the topic to the immediate thing: "it seems that he and his escort have sneaked into the headquarters of the heretic church?"

"This is almost the case. At present, everything is going well."

Charles finally breathed a sigh of relief, slowly got up and carried his hands behind his back: "I have given orders to the guards and patrols in the city in your name, closed all the gates and entrances of the castle, and stationed guards on important streets - at present, the vicinity of the governor's office has been completely blocked, and there can be no large-scale personnel in and out."

"In addition, up to now, we have not noticed any movement coming from the governor's house... In fact, there is no sound. It is almost empty except for the guards and lights outside the door."

This is the only thing that makes Charles feel abnormal or strange. He was ready for Gaspar to take the initiative to protest and even confront the guards of the governor's office. As a result, the other party was calm to the point of silence, which made many of his preparations come to naught.

"Should this be a good thing?" Charlotte frowned slightly and couldn't help guessing, "maybe he has realized that the situation is over and the situation has reached an irreparable point?"

"Maybe..."

The frowning housekeeper could only agree. Although there was always a trace of uneasiness at the bottom of his heart, he couldn't tell what was wrong.

No matter what he thought, he really didn't think Gaspar would be an ordinary man who could easily accept his life... With the arrogance and domineering of governor Byrne, even if he knew that he was betrayed by others, the first thing he thought of should be going to hell with the enemy rather than running for his life.

Maybe I really think too much. Maybe

"Boom --!!"

At the moment when they both relaxed their vigilance, Charlotte turned pale with the sudden loud noise. Charles directly turned back and walked out of the hall. He suddenly opened the door with wide eyes.

Over there... Is the direction of the headquarters of the blood order!

"What's the matter?!" the countess hurried up with anxious eyes: "is it the signal agreed between you and Loren Turin, or did you say something?!"

"I don't know, but it should not be just a signal." Charles said very hard, his pupils trembling. "The most important thing now is the governor Byrne's house. We must first ensure that the guard there is safe."

This is just the housekeeper's temporary excuse - in case of an accident on Loren's side, the original plan must be put on hold. No matter what the result is, the count's personal safety comes first, and the surrounding guard troops must be transferred back to the castle palace as soon as possible!

This was originally an extremely risky plan. Now that variables have changed, we must stop as soon as possible, or what if something really happens... Charles knows Charlotte so well that if he denies her directly, he will rush to the scene. In that case, he must find a way to keep her

"No, we haven't seen the body of Loren Turin; it's not the tradition of the Turin family to give up before the outcome is decided!"

Charlotte abruptly interrupted her housekeeper and said quietly, "call you Lun and let him gather the palace knights to prepare for the battle!"

"At the same time... Get my weapons, armor and horses ready."

"Count?!"

Charles was shocked and subconsciously wanted to stop her: "it's too dangerous to leave the court without permission at this time. Let me and captain youlunwei be responsible..."

"Charles!"

The sword eyebrow rose, and the angry Charlotte sighed in a low voice the next second and calmed her heart: "I know you want to protect me and don't want me to do stupid things - but when a count shivering in his castle or the count of Turin?"

"Is it still a count who can make the Knights loyal and swear to death?"

The countess whispered: "I have never worshipped Roland. It is because of his Turin family that I lost the principality, but..."

"Even if I don't want to admit it, the person who can always take the lead and stand in the front with a smile is a real Duke of Turin, worthy of being the descendant of the knight king!"

"... I see."

Charles spoke with difficulty.

Now that the count has made up his mind, he can't recover anything.

"Go and prepare yourself, Charles. Let the guards at all entrances and exits and gates strengthen their vigilance. All the patrol guards in the city gather in the direction of the palace, clear the streets, and solve any suspicious people on the spot - tell them to prepare for the battle!"

The voice fell, and the countess turned and left.

I won't let anyone die for me in vain. I'll end it myself. Gaspar Wayne, the bastard who dared to humiliate the Turin family!
