Chapter 674

In the quiet night, the red blood Castle housekeeper silently turned his eyes to Loren, and there was no fatigue and fear in his calm eyes.

"Loren Turin... Although I have overestimated you as much as possible, you are still far more than I can imagine. You are really strong."

"You flatter me, I just..."

"No, I'm just stating one thing." Charles waved to the black haired wizard not to interrupt him. "I won't deny that I reminded the count to beware of you more than once, because you are so threatening!"

"I've heard about you; the ice and snow impasse north of duanjie mountain, or the case of the potion master in Golovin, or even in red blood castle..."

"If you really don't want to say that, but it is true... The red blood castle was almost saved by yourself; those earls, they can't imagine what kind of person they found to be their Duke!"

With a slight sigh, Loren shrugged.

It was the first time since I met Charles that he felt he was making friends with himself.

"You're... Strong enough to find an impossible way out of a desperate situation," Charles sighed. "But not everyone can be like you; even if they try their best, they can't do it."

"Charlotte... She's not as strong as she appears."

Lauren frowned.

"She has never been a natural ruler - when she was a child, Charlotte was just a good girl who would listen to her father, liked beautiful clothes and praise, and was always capricious; anything that didn't agree would get angry, which was just different from her now."

I think she's about the same now... The black haired wizard couldn't help but say in the bottom of his heart.

Charles looked more nostalgic: "this situation lasted until the death of the count of red blood castle of the previous generation, and then... Then it was different."

"Overnight, she changed from Charlotte Turin to the Countess of the red blood Castle - but in fact, she didn't change anything, just put on a disguise."

"A frightened little girl sat in her father's position and maintained her image in the eyes of the public with her pretended dignity; she was no longer worried that she would disappoint the vassals and despise the nobles and Knights; she was always worried about whether she was a qualified count in their eyes."

"The glory of Turin, the revival of Byrne... She never cared about this before. She wanted to do it just because it was in line with the appearance of a Turin Lord; in fact... She was still the little girl who cared about the eyes of others all the time."

"When she raised the round table parliament, Charlotte's face was bloodless, with exposed green tendons, red eyes but ecstatic... Is it really what a person who is about to realize his dream will look like?"

"No... that's not, that's what a sacrifice would look like when it was about to go to the altar!" the trembling Charles clenched his teeth and stared at Lauren.

The black haired wizard's expression was slightly paused, and then raised his eyes:

"That's why you tried so hard to destroy her plan?"

"Yes, because I can't give Charlotte into your hands, you... Are terrible." the red blood Castle housekeeper still stared at him with scarlet eyes:

"I can't watch her become a puppet of the round table Council and be manipulated by the Lords; or put there like some kind of prize for those people to fight each other for her possession;"

"Byrne or the sky palace... They didn't really want to support Charlotte. They all regarded her as a puppet, just a victim of Byrne's struggle with the Empire!"

With a low roar, Charles suddenly smiled miserably: "even if it's you... Loren Turin, what about you?"

"For you and your master, his highness Brandon de sallion, Charlotte is just a prop you use to control the red blood castle and Bain; you... Are no different from those people!"

"You can be as kind to her as possible, but can you go against the interests of his highness Brandon for her?" Charles said hoarsely:

"As long as she becomes Duke Byrne, she will never be free from all this until one day she goes to the altar and burns herself to ashes in the fire."

"Count Byrne's title... Is not an honor for her at all. It's a curse, the most vicious curse!"

Between the words, the corners of Charles's eyes were filled with tears.

"I know that once Charlotte knows the truth, she will not spare me, but even so, I will do so; only by completely getting rid of the terrible curse of 'reviving Turin', can she really get her freedom, not a doll at the mercy of fate!"

"And... It was the fate you imposed on her!"

Charles stared at the calm eyes of the black haired wizard, looked at each other, and fell silent again.

"Sure enough..."

A moment later, Lauren looked at Charles with red eyes and said meaningfully, "you and your brother are the same kind of people."

The housekeeper of red blood castle was stunned, just like the black haired wizard at the beginning.

"You think you're right. You want to protect Charlotte. You can sacrifice yourself for her... But in fact, you never really think about her feelings." take a deep breath, and Loren shook his head:

"What's more, even if your plan really comes true, will Charlotte be happy for the rest of her life? Will she be really carefree?"

"I..." Charles's expression suddenly darkened.

"It's impossible, isn't it?" Lauren whispered. "Losing the Duke title may even make the Turin family lose the status of Lord of Byrne forever. How could she accept all this without remorse and even with peace of mind?"

"But at least it can stop her from suffering again and again..." Charles is still dying, but his eyes are no longer as firm as before.

"Even if she is no longer the Lord of Byrne, the Turin family in red blood castle is still the most powerful Knight Lord of Byrne - she will continue to run around for the rest of her life, fight against the new Duke in order to protect the interests of the Turin family, and resist all count with ambition to marry her."

"Open your eyes and see the reality, Charles glenwell; if your plan really succeeds, you are not saving her, but forcibly dragging her from one hell to another."

"At this point, you are worse than your brother - at least, the plan he came up with is still possible!"

The silent Charles lowered his head, his eyes closed, and his shoulders trembled violently.

Loren knew that he had begun to waver.

The silent dark haired wizard took the letter from little Joad from him; The left hand flicked its fingers, and the Turin fire turned the letter paper into ashes.

Charles opened his eyes in surprise and looked slowly.

"This thing, let alone it didn't happen." sighed, and Loren patted Charles on the shoulder. "If you really want to protect Charlotte, never leave her."

"In addition... Sometimes being too close often numbs people's senses and is no longer sensitive to changes; Charlotte Turin, she is no longer the little girl."

"She is a real Countess of red blood castle."

With that, he shook his head, got up and left.

"Lord Loren Turin!"

Just as the dark haired wizard was about to leave the corridor, Charles suddenly shouted at him behind him.

"The last time I was in this corridor, you asked me how I felt about Charlotte..."

Charles with red eyes stood up, put his hands behind his back, calmly stared at Lauren's back and kept his eyes fixed: "now... Let me ask you."

"I also hope you can answer truthfully."

I?

In the silent corridor, the figure of the black haired wizard froze.

Charles said nothing and was still waiting for his reply.

"I know the purpose you are willing to keep secret for me..." the housekeeper's voice was calm:

"But if you want my loyalty, you must first tell me your feelings for her!"
