Neither side?

Charlotte frowned slightly, and her indifferent expression reappeared on her cheek: "Loren Turin, what is' no choice '... You'd better make it clear."

Isn't this nonsense? How can you choose neither side?!

"Count, about this;" Charles, who coughed slightly, stood awkwardly in the middle, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Lord Loren may mean..."

"Stand aside, Charles."

Glancing coldly at her housekeeper, the countess turned her eyes again to the black haired wizard sitting opposite. Her eyes were sharp: "Lord Loren Turin, he has his own mouth and doesn't need others to explain what he said for him!"

Charles, who was interrupted, was stunned, then looked at Loren on the other side, sighed awkwardly and stood silently behind Charlotte.

Pulling the corners of his mouth, the black haired wizard shrugged and looked at the countess with a sullen face - the angry Charlotte was a little more lovely than her usual solemnity, although she was also more irritable... Cough.

"We are facing a problem, or... Contradiction." the black haired wizard, who is upright and sitting upright, looks indifferent, just like chatting with a beautiful lady at a tryst at night:

"Charlotte, or our common goal is to make the Turin family recognized by the 13 Knight lords and become the ruler of all Byrne again; at the same time, we should avoid undisputed civil war and division. After all, even if Byrne is so strong, it can't be the opponent of the whole empire."

"Unfortunately, no matter which side we join, this goal can only be achieved in half. The angry Byrne Knights will not recognize the duke or knight king who compromises with the Empire; if we want to get the approval of the Empire first, we must be against the whole Byrne."

The countess nodded and looked very serious.

"So, this question has turned back." Loren raised his head and his dark pupils were very serious: "red blood castle, Turin family, we, you... Which side are you on?"

"Hasn't this been discussed?" Charlotte's expression was a little unhappy, and her words were a little impatient: "no matter which side we stand on, the final result is..."

"No, not so."

The black haired wizard sighed and reached out again to interrupt the countess: "if you can't find out which side we represent and whose position we stand, this problem will never be solved, or it is destined to end in tragedy!"

"You hope Byrne and the Turin family can regain their glory; but this glory does not begin with war and turmoil, thousands of people dead and their homes destroyed;

You want the respect of the Empire and the love of the Byrne knights, but you don't want to become a sinner who started the civil war. "

"At least not in this way of being coerced by fanaticism and agitation, nor on the premise of being helpless and seeing no chance of victory and hope..."

Charlotte didn't open her mouth, but the green tendons of her hands clutching the handrail were exposed.

"Therefore, the angry and restless Byrne and the heavenly palace trying to make a chestnut out of the fire are not the party you want to join, and none of them can meet your demands." the corner of the black haired wizard's mouth turned up:

"Then the count of red blood castle, Charlotte Turin... Please tell me which side you want to join and whose position you want to stand on?"

"Whose position..."

Charlotte murmured suspiciously; Soon, her expression moved slightly. She thought of something, but she couldn't believe it. She suddenly widened her eyes:

"I... myself?!"

"Pa --!" snapped his fingers, and the black haired wizard suddenly leaned forward and looked at her:

"That's right."

Looking at Charlotte's completely frozen look, Lauren finally smiled: "if you want to wear a crown, bear its weight first... This is the truth I learned from eboden's Consul, master corona."

"You don't become a Duke the moment you get the title of Duke, but you start from the moment you have the consciousness of becoming a duke.

As for the title itself, it is just a symbol, a crown. "

"Only from the standpoint of 'Duke of Byrne' or 'Knight King', can you not be coerced by the fanaticism of the knight of Byrne, nor by the title of 'Duke' used by the heavenly palace." the black haired wizard said with assurance:

"Not only that, you don't have to be an enemy of the other party for the reason of either party, or become an ally with the other party under the pressure of one party; you only represent the red blood castle, the Lord of Turin and the future Duke of Byrne!"

"In that case, who should the count trust?" Charles, standing behind Charlotte, couldn't help asking, "who is the count's ally and enemy?"

"The answer is very simple. Everyone is our ally." the black haired wizard's mouth flashed a proud arc: "everyone is our enemy."

Hearing this, the red blood Castle housekeeper frowned.

"So I made a deal or compromise with Yuli vilz... It seems that the empire is more concerned about restoring stability to Byrne, which is our breakthrough." sighed, and Loren continued:

"With the threat of Yuli vilz and the sky palace, we can suppress some of Bain's Knight lords and let them unite around the red blood castle or the Turin family; and the resentful Bain is also our sharp blade against the Empire, so that they dare not attack the Turin family easily."

"Let the heavenly palace understand that only the Turin family is the most indisputable family in this land and the only family recognized by the vast majority of Lords; if they dare to ignore the existence of the Turin family or want to change a Duke... The final result must not be what they want to see!"

As for what the "final result" is... This is self-evident to all three.

"At the same time, the threat of the coming arrival of the heavenly palace and Duke Yuli vilz will also pose a threat to the knight lords of Byrne; the round table, which was originally procrastinating and full of wrangling and accusations, will become truly efficient."

The black haired wizard's eyes were bright and his tone was more serious than before: "if they can't elect a duke in the face of the imperial mission, or at least someone who can represent the whole Bain, they don't even have the qualification to talk to the Empire on an equal footing;

At that time, let alone declare war. In the face of the threat of the Empire and El Mans, it is unrealistic for the thirteen lords to maintain absolute unity... After all, in the end, the interests of the thirteen lords cannot be exactly the same. "

Charlotte was still silent, but her expression was obviously different from that at the beginning.

"This... Is the reason why I reached a compromise with Yuli vilz." the black haired wizard crossed his fingers again, and the originally painful joints had been relieved:

"Whether or not the Duke's purpose is really the same as he said, or whether he has other purposes, this is a very rare opportunity for us to reach an agreement with all Knight lords and the heavenly palace before the round table."

"Next, we can deal with those Knight lords one by one, help them understand the facts, and use various means to win over, buy, or threaten and lure to solve all the opponents one by one;

Until no one opposed the Turin family any more, they united closely around the red blood castle to welcome the arrival of the imperial mission! "

The countess and the steward of the red blood castle looked at each other, and their eyes twinkled with amazement.

"So." Charlotte took a deep breath and looked very serious: "this is your plan..."

"No, this should be our plan. Recapture the title of Duke and restore the glory of the Turin family... These are your ambitions, Charlotte. I'm just a feasible way for this goal, that's all."

"No friends, only interests... Seems to be a very cold way." Charles looked at Lauren and said, "isn't there any emotion in your plan?"

"It's a plan, not a sonnet, so there's no need to be pretentious." Laurent smiled at him: "as I just said, I want to wear a crown

Bear its weight first --! "
