Chapter 658

Storm castle... Glenville?

The dark haired wizard's face moved slightly, and two extremely key words immediately merged into his mind, squinting at Aton glenwell in front of him.

Because of Charles Grenville, Loren was no stranger to the Grenville family in storm castle;

This is a family comparable to the red blood castle in all aspects - their territory is closer to the South than Turin; The prosperous trade and warm climate make storm Castle more like a garden city than red blood castle;

The warm climate makes storm Castle an important granary in the south, and their dairy products and all kinds of fresh fruits are also very popular; "Nightingale" wine is as famous as "red blood", and even better at some level;

At least the black haired wizard has heard Charlotte complain more than once that red blood wine is too spicy and only suitable for meals; The taste is far less sweet and delicate than that of "Nightingale", and the aroma is more abundant.

The only regret may be that storm castle is less famous for its bravery, and the number of territorial knights is the reverse of the 13 lords... However, the casting technology of storm castle is very excellent, and even has dwarf craftsmen who are extremely rare in the Empire; Every year, Byrne and even the imperial nobles send thousands of orders.

The abundant financial resources enable the Glenville family of storm castle to have a great voice in the South; In particular, many Knight lords with minerals in their territory have relatively poor land. They can only feed their neighbors by relying on the output of storm castle.

It was because of this that Charlotte mentioned that night how the count of storm Castle justified her in front of the Lords of the South - without the nod of the Grenville family, their gold and silver mines were a pile of stones, and thousands could not compare with a piece of bread.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Aton glenwell."

The voice of the count of storm Castle interrupted the black haired wizard's meditation and dragged him back to reality. His gentle expression made people feel like a spring breeze: "I hope you won't think that we storm castle are a group of vulgar people when we meet for the first time."

The palm of the other party is white and slender, but the finger joints, especially the middle finger, index finger and ring finger, have a thick cocoon.

This is a right hand that can only hold a sword and open a bow, and is very good at it - judged the black haired wizard.

"You're too modest, count." he raised his mouth in a formulaic way, and Loren quietly released his right hand. "I'm impressed by your brother... No one can beat all Byrne in terms of etiquette."

"My brother?" Aton suddenly lost his head and suddenly realized, "Oh... You're talking about Charles, aren't you?"

Huh?

Loren picked his eyebrows, and his expression was also inexplicable: "excuse me, is there anything wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm very sorry." with a bitter smile, the Earl of storm Castle waved his hand apologetically: "just because of Charles, you may not know much about the Glenville family."

"My brother and I broke up at a very young age because of some difficult words; if the Turin family hadn't been willing to take him in, this guy might have left Bain for another place - so Charles wouldn't be happy if he heard that you tied me with him."

With that, Aton shook his head helplessly, sighed and lowered his head.

The black haired wizard with strange expression twitched at the corners of his mouth and looked sideways at Lucian beside him; Sure enough... The grey pupil boy who was aware of it snorted coldly, tilted his head and embarrassed to avoid Lauren's eyes.

This is really... Brothers in the world are the same.

"I heard that you were the only one who took the initiative to support the count of red blood castle at the meeting." realizing that the atmosphere was too embarrassing, the black haired wizard quickly changed the topic:

"We have to say that this is very unexpected; because all the southern lords except you chose to declare war on the Empire."

"Of course, to do so is to seek death - the Lords of the North deal with the Empire all the year round and have some self-knowledge; while the Knights of the south are a group of arrogant maniacs. They only remember the heroic posture of the black Duke, but forget the roar of the dragon."

The gentle Aton said calmly, without concealing his contempt for his family, with a natural expression: "the most important thing is that Turin is connected with the Grenville family. Of course, I have to help my relatives."

relatives?

Lauren frowned slightly. Why hadn't he ever heard Charlotte talk about it?

"Well, how..." Aton looked at the dark haired wizard with a slight deep look and asked like a probe: "your grandfather, Lord Leonardo Turin... Never told you these things?"

Of course he didn't say. I'm not his grandson. I'm just a servant who picked it up.

Although he thought so, of course Loren wouldn't say such words... He just frowned silently and lowered his head in a dark face.

"Er ah! Sorry!" Aton suddenly woke up: "really... I definitely didn't mean to mention this, it's just..."

"It doesn't matter." the black haired Wizard "reluctantly" squeezed out a smile and waved to the count of storm Castle who looked a little frightened: "you'd better go on, Glenville is connected with the Turin family?"

"Yes, that's right." Aton nodded. "Or the Glenville family is just one of the blood of Turin."

"One of them?" Lauren noticed the word.

"Because Byrne's thirteen Knight Lord families trace upward, all of them are Turin blood relatives, but the relationship is different." Aton nodded and smiled:

"Excluding the Turin family, seven of the remaining 12 families can be traced back to the important collateral branches of the Turin family, and even several have been the heirs of the Turin family."

"The history of the ancient Byrne Kingdom, in a sense, is the family history of the Turin family."

"I see." the black haired wizard suddenly thought, "so the Turin family has become the knight king of Byrne..."

"This is a matter of course." Aton turned his eyes to his side and looked at the portrait hanging on the wall with interest: "Byrne did not create the knight king, but the Turin family as the knight King created Byrne; the round table parliament is not an election, but a tool for the knight King to unite the whole kingdom around."

"The so-called 'thirteen noble knights stand side by side and elect the most noble as the king'... Ha ha, it is just a far fetched and beautiful imagination of our future generations; from the beginning, the knight king can only be Turin, and Turin is the knight king."

"The king is the king... Never 'elected'."

"But the past is the past, and now is the present. It's different." Lauren inserted: "only the knight recognized by the most Knight lords can become the new Duke of Byrne."

"Or... Only the most powerful knight who can defeat everyone can become Duke Byrne."

Aton looked back and looked at the black haired wizard meaningfully: "among the thirteen territories, red blood castle is the strongest."

"Although the thirteen lords are nominally equal in power and status, everyone knows that this is just one side; why is Charlotte attacked by everyone? It is because the red blood castle has the strongest strength and the greatest threat that it will be attacked by all the people." Aton sighed:

"Byrne, the thirteen count, but the area of the red blood fort occupies 1/5 of the whole Byrne. It is still the best core territory. At least three or four Earl must be united to compete with it. Everyone is worried that the Turin family will go to the vault of heaven, and to betray Byrne for the Duke title, that is the root of the problem."

Loren didn't speak.

Obviously, the Earl of storm castle is not just a polite and gentle earl.

If the other party is really willing to support because of the blood relationship between the two sides, it will be a great help to Charlotte... But if so, why would he be kicked out?

And the next second, Loren knew the answer:

"Tell me, Lord Loren Turin, do you really think Charlotte should be made Duke of Byrne?"
