"All... Planned?"

Murmuring to herself, Charlotte, who was stunned, stood up hard, looked at her in disbelief, and sat there looking at her own Loren Turin and Yuli vilz:

"When?"

"The Duke of ellemans and I met only once, of course, that time." Lauren whispered, "I told you I made an agreement with Yuli vilz, and this... Is this agreement."

In the quiet side hall, you can even hear the melodious songs of birds outside the window.

Charlotte still stood there, her eyes fixed on the two "Dukes".

"Our goal is to maintain peace between the Empire and Bain, while ensuring the reunification of Bain; to achieve this goal, a centaur war and unremitting maintenance of dignity are not enough."

Looking at Yuli across the eye, Loren had to explain softly:

"So I discussed a plan with Duke Yuri; I will appear at the meeting on the day of the round table; if someone uses my identity to make trouble... You have seen it."

"And the Duke of elmans, he was the second part of the plan - to put it more simply, he wanted to ensure peace between Byrne and the Empire and play a bad villain, making the result look like Byrne 'won' or 'saved' the Empire."

Listening carefully to Loren's explanation, Charlotte pondered for a moment and spoke slowly:

"That is to say, let Byrne's knights feel that they... Are heroes who saved the Empire and thwarted the conspiracy of the heavenly palace?"

His right hand snapped his fingers, and Lauren smiled at the corner of his mouth: "exactly."

"What about the Centaur invasion? That's also in your plan!"

"No, it was a complete accident." Lauren waved his hand quickly, but he couldn't hide his smile: "but even if there is no Centaur, we have some ways - this is a big and dangerous world, and some small monsters that let heroes kill happily."

"At present, the implementation of the plan is quite successful. It is a little rough, but everything is going well."

"Yes, especially for some people, it's too smooth."

Silver pupil turned to the black haired wizard, and the young Duke suddenly sneered: "Lord Loren Turin... Or should I call you Duke Byrne?"

"When you discussed the plan with me, you didn't tell me that it would be such a result."

As soon as the voice fell, Loren's smile froze on his face.

After a slight meal, Charlotte pretended to be calm as if she was frightened, sat back in her chair, turned her head to one side, and seriously enjoyed the midsummer beauty outside the window.

Loren can clearly feel that Charlotte's eyes are constantly sweeping towards herself with the remaining light from the corners of her eyes

On one side, Yuli weiltz's expression was cold, and his suspicious eyes kept moving back and forth on the two people.

"Hum."

With a snort, the young Duke broke the silence and embarrassment and got up from his chair; Solemnly saluted them and walked towards the door.

"Duke uly veltz, please wait a minute!"

"Don't worry, I'll try my best to convince your majesty and the former Imperial Cabinet. I won't break my promise."

Suddenly looking back, Archduke Ellerman's eyes swept like a blade: "what they should really worry about right now should be the Centaur war."

"Especially you, Lord Loren Turin." Yuli vilz raised his eyebrows: "from a wizard to the Duke of Byrne, you can imagine how many people will hate you."

"In particular, you don't have any foundation in Bain, even in the territory directly under the central government - your status and power are like dandelions floating in the wind, which will fall from the air at any time!"

Lauren was slightly stunned.

He felt something wrong from the first time he met. The Duke of ellemans seemed to care about himself. He had been trying to warn himself or lend a helping hand, although he was a little poisonous.

Is it really just because of Lu Wen, or is there another reason

"This Centaur battle will be your first and only chance to prove yourself and have the power and reputation of a duke. There will be no second time."

Yuli weltz looked at the "Duke of Byrne" coldly, and his silver gray eyes did not move for a moment: "if you don't want to end up with the black Duke, don't take chances, let alone act recklessly!"

The tone is... Like mentor Dalton.

Reluctantly smiling, Loren slowly raised his head and nodded to the young Duke very seriously: "I understand. Thank you for your advice."

"Please also tell the heavenly palace that Byrne's knights will still guard the great green sea in the East and the mountains in the south for the Empire as in the tenth generation."

"I will convey your previous words to his majesty Eckhart II, his Excellency the Duke of Byrne."

With that, he walked out of the side hall.

Outside the door is an empty corridor, and the exquisite carpet at the foot extends to the end; Duke ellemans was slightly stunned and his eyes narrowed into a slit.

The boy with dark blue hair stood in the middle of the corridor, leaned against the wall, hugged his shoulders with both hands, and stared at himself with his eyes as bright as silver moon.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Duke of ellemans walked towards the end of the corridor.

At the moment when he passed the gray pupil boy, Yuli weiltz was not squint, his pace was steady, and he didn't even hesitate.

"I'm going to leave now?"

The sudden sound stopped Yuli weirtz... Or the tip of the sword behind his neck; Feeling the coolness, the Duke of ellemans looked fearless and didn't even bother to look back.

"If you want to know the plan of Duke Byrne and me, you can ask him." Yuli said coldly, "or do you think he won't tell you, so you point a sword at me here?"

"Don't try to provoke my relationship with Lord Loren. I don't ask because I don't want to know." Lucian snorted, "I'm not interested in the conspiracy of you guys... Except those related to Lord Loren."

"So you want to kill me here so that you can inherit the title of Duke of elmond... Don't be paranoid. Even if I can promise you, do you think the vassals of elmond can accept an illegitimate son to succeed?"

"If I wanted to get that kind of thing, I would have got it in those years; even if you hide in Longxin City, I can find you... Anyway, you will only hide in a very high place."

Lucian's tone became colder and colder, and he said word by word: "what I want to ask is... Why did you know I was in red blood castle?"

"Why, do you think where you are, a nobody, is still a secret?"

Yuli vilz sneered contemptuously: "the people of the fortress of duanjie mountain wrote back and told me that you left the imperial corps and became the guard of Loren Turin - is there a problem as a guard around the master?"

"Of course there's a problem!" Lucian frowned: "Lord Loren visited the red blood Castle secretly, and I didn't go with him on the way. Even so far, there are not many people who have really seen him in the red blood castle."

"So... If you didn't investigate carefully, you wouldn't know where I am."

In the silent corridor, the two people were silent for nearly a minute.

Yuli weiltz turned his head very hard, looked at the stubborn Lucian with tangled eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally could only barely burst out:

"I'm your brother, or the Duke of ellemans, so I know where you are... It's natural."

"Excuse is really bad." Lucian still looked unconvinced.

"This is not an excuse, this is a fact!" Yuli's expression became indifferent again and raised his eyes solemnly: "whether you admit it or not, you represent the image of the vilz family."

"Dang --!"

When the blade returned to its sheath, Lucian coldly handed the double swords around his waist to him: "this is what you used to save me in duanjie mountain fortress. I guess you may want to go back - although I didn't need you to save me at the beginning."

"You'd better put it away." the Duke of ellemans proudly put his hands on his back: "lest some guy be killed by a centaur in the battlefield and complain that I didn't leave the sword to him."

"Hum --!"

With a cold hum, the two men strode away in the opposite direction at the same time.
