Chapter 824

"... in other words, do you know that the Duke has rarely participated in the round table parliament recently..."

"... it's not surprising that the Duke has just returned from Boyle and is seriously injured; besides, there's nothing to worry about when count Charlotte is in the round table..."

"... it's strange that a duke and a count are Turin. Don't the Duke worry..."

"... what are you worried about? Ah... If you say so, I've heard a lot of news. The relationship between the two seems to be getting worse and worse..."

"... it was impossible originally. Well, one was directly related and the other was a side branch; if there was no accident, how could the count give up the position of Duke..."

"... speaking of, the count has been married this year... Why not marry..."

"... I've heard that count lanmallos of Lake City and Lord Glenville of storm castle have been more than once..."

"... ah?! no wonder the Duke is in a hurry to build a new castle. He really wants to..."

"... the situation in Byrne is getting more and more complicated..."

The expressionless Charlotte Turin walked high in the middle of the corridor, ignoring the people on both sides; Even if you occasionally touch the line of sight, only the other party will bow in fear, or look back and pretend to look at the scenery.

She didn't have to look at it at all, and she was clear about the "gossip" among the population.

In order to cover up a series of changes caused by the alliance between Byrne and eboden, Charlotte, little Yod and Dalton concocted a large number of "truth" and spread it to every corner of the red blood castle in various ways, so as to divert attention and attention.

Although I know that all this is spread out on purpose, sometimes the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional.

Feeling the eyes behind her, the flies came from her ears, and Charlotte, who closed her mouth tightly, accelerated her steps.

The expression of perseverance is like making up your mind.

When I open the door, I see the familiar study - the dust in the air is illuminated by light and shadow, and the smell of parchment adds a trace of elegance to the quiet space; The towering bookshelves are spotless, and the too clean vision makes the breath and heartbeat much clearer.

"Why are you so late today?"

In a funny tone, Lauren, sitting at the table with her legs cocked, put down her tea cup and glanced at the shadow coming towards her.

"The temporary round table parliament has been extended because of new issues."

Taking a deep breath, the expressionless Charlotte hesitated for a moment before calmly sitting opposite the black haired wizard and stacking a thick stack of scrolls on the table:

"Because of a Duke who is keen on 'laziness', the round table Council has to make two or three times more efforts than originally in order to deal with the immediate work."

"And it is precisely because of such a capable count that a 'Duke' can have the opportunity to 'be lazy..." the black haired wizard with his mouth tilted narrowed his eyes into a seam.

"I'm not praising you."

Looking at a guy who had no repentance or even didn't realize his mistake, the countess frowned with a tired sigh.

"What's today's topic? I heard that several earls in the South seemed quite dissatisfied with us leaving Yunling kingdom alone. Lanmalos even lifted the table directly."

The black haired wizard took the opportunity to interrupt and change the topic: "if Glenville hadn't stopped him in time, I'm afraid he would have rushed back to the territory directly?"

The countess did not answer, but looked at him expressionless.

"So... Is there any objection to providing assistance to the 50000 Legion stationed in zapoi?" the atmosphere was a little awkward. Loren could only continue to ask rigidly: "if not, it is also possible to allocate materials directly from the United Chamber of Commerce, so that everyone can agree without going through the round table Parliament..."

Charlotte still didn't speak, her eyes were as cold as ever.

"Er... For example, if it's not the problem of Boye or eboden, it must be the sky palace to us again..."

"When are you going to talk about it?"

The countess finally interrupted him with her sharp eyes like a cold sword. "Or... Do you really want to tell me that you don't know anything about what happened at the round table Council?"

"Huh?"

After a slight pause, Lauren pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly: "only know a little... Just a little."

"A little..." Charlotte slowly raised her head and raised her mouth with a mocking sneer: "yes, the wise Duke, how can you think that you have miscalculated, and when it turns out to be true?"

The dark haired wizard opened his mouth and could only laugh awkwardly.

"Because of the false news we deliberately released, there are all kinds of rumors inside and outside the red blood castle, which has changed from the first rumors to the real 'truth'."

The countess shook her head and said faintly, "even the twelve earls have believed it... No, it doesn't matter whether they believe it or not, because if they go on like this, sooner or later they will have to believe it."

"If you tell a lie a thousand times, it will become the truth... Ha ha, you're really right."

Looking at Charlotte with a smile, Lauren with her head down felt dry.

I really screwed up this time

Originally, I just wanted to cover up the alliance with eboden and divert attention from the "rumors", but finally it became an extremely thorny problem.

The most direct trouble comes from the red blood castle, which is the headquarters of the Turin family and the most powerful Earl of the thirteen leaders. When rumors become more and more popular, people living here immediately have to face the most direct problem.

The Duke and the count are at odds, and the Turin family is falling apart. Who should they be loyal to?

If Charlotte is the heir to the Duke, this is not a problem;

If they have a good relationship, they don't need to consider it.

But now... Facing the triumphant Duke and deep-rooted count, these people who are most loyal to the Turin family are completely confused.

This original hidden danger was completely forgotten by Loren and others because of the war of centaurs and external factors such as Yunling Kingdom and Tianqiong palace; Now, it really erupts.

As a direct line of the Turin family, Charlotte's influence in the red blood castle is deep-rooted, which can not be easily reversed by a Duke who "fell from the sky"; Even if they don't care, the vassals loyal to the Turin family can't care.

As the foundation of Byrne, every move of red blood castle will cause unrest in the whole principality; A little careless, hidden under the joy of triumph, the hidden danger of the division of Byrne's thirteen leaders for a hundred years will break out one by one.

Silence, a full minute of silence.

"Well, about these rumors..." pretending to be relaxed, Loren took the lead in breaking the silence: "what do they think of the round table Parliament?"

"It's simple."

Charlotte raised her eyes, the luster in her eyes with a little bitterness: "if the fraud comes true, it's OK."

Fake come true?

"Now there are rumors everywhere outside. You and I have reached the point of irreconcilability... Good, then we will meet them." she added expressionless:

"As long as you casually find a reason to deprive me of the title of 'count of red blood Castle', everything will be logical. No one will talk more."

"Deprivation of title?" Lauren frowned. "How can this be?!"

"Of course!"

The countess looked at him with complex eyes: "there are few similar situations in Byrne's history, but there are precedents; there are special laws in the imperial code on the deprivation of the titles of vassals by dukes."

"I think if the heavenly palace knew you were going to attack me, it would be very happy... It would never embarrass you."

"I'm not talking about the heavenly palace, I mean..." Lauren suddenly stopped talking and opened his mouth

"Just, even if I want to! I mean, even if... For what reason?!"

"As long as you want to, there is always a reason."

Staring at the black haired wizard, the countess said what he had just said a few days ago: "what's more, this is the most important thing you need now."

Loren frowned and his throat twitched.

"For example... During the Duke's expedition to the green sea, I had the right to make my own decisions and issued several decrees more than once..."

"For another example, I have violated your wishes more than once and reached a settlement with Yunling Kingdom, which is our enemy, which led to the hostility between the two sides later..."

After a pause, Charlotte looked at him meaningfully: "for another example, I reached an alliance with eboden without consulting you - it would be an unforgivable felony to contact other principalities without the permission of the Empire..."

He opened his mouth and the dark haired wizard stopped talking.

"As well as mobilizing the troops in the territory without permission, and having the right to declare that the principality is in a state of full war preparation; reaching an agreement with other earls in private without asking the Duke for instructions; being angry and spreading rumors in the court, the situation is completely out of control..."

Word by word, the countess who spoke clearly narrowed her eyes and paused for a second:

"If you want to add sin... Why not?"

Lauren closed her mouth and stared at Charlotte.

"Of course, these methods can only be used to deal with the heavenly palace... In Bain, even if it is now prestigious, if you do so, you can't have no consequences at all." she continued coldly:

"Byrne people attach the greatest importance to honor. This unreasonable act of destroying honor can be said to hurt the enemy a thousand and lose eight hundred; but fortunately, you have a more appropriate way to end all this..."

"Enough."

The corners of her mouth twitched, and Lauren could no longer help interrupting her: "this kind of thing can be discussed at any time. At present, we have more important..."

"Get married."

Charlotte whispered.

"Hmm?" Lauren raised his eyebrows and looked stunned.

"That's the real reason... For the extension of the round table today." the countess did not move and looked down slightly at the stunned black haired Wizard:

"It's also the best way."

She... What's the matter with her today? Is she stimulated? Or

"As long as you let me get married, you can take back the count of red blood castle in a fair way." Charlotte whispered while turning over the parchment scroll in her hand:

"You don't even have to worry about being blamed, because this is Bain's custom, and there are precedents."

"Esselvov Turin, the fourth generation Knight king of Byrne, took back his niece's title of Earl of the red blood Castle after Edgar, the Earl of the red blood castle at that time, and married him to the Earl of Glenville of the storm castle of that generation."

"Even the object of marriage, there are many people."

Charlotte snorted, as if sitting in front of her was no longer a dark haired wizard, but the twelve earls of the round table Parliament.

"The count of lanmallos in Lake City has made great achievements in the battle of centaurs. Among the new generation of Byrne knights, he has outstanding reputation, and his age and status are basically the same..."

"Yes, everything is fine."

Lauren opened his eyes and snorted: "except for one thing, he is obviously more interested in men - every time I see him, the back of his neck is cold!"

"Will you let me speak?" the countess pouted, her eyes dissatisfied.

The dark haired wizard turned his head and stopped looking at her.

"Byrne's thirteen leaders, the relationship between the West and the Turin family is the most alienated." Charlotte continued: "it happens that angel, the Earl of the Rock Castle, has a grandson, which is a very suitable marriage object;"

"Do you like the sand Gobi desert in the mountain rock castle or the giant monster in the Principality of Arles? Ah, by the way, their wine is very good. It's called 'fierce sand' or something else... It's as delicious as the nightingale in the storm castle!"

Under Charlotte's almost murderous eyes, Loren chose to shut up.

"There is also Glenville of the southern storm castle, who has the best relationship with Turin. Winning over them can greatly enhance Turin's strength;"

"Bosiwar, who looks up to the peak, is most like the bain of the Boyi; making friends with them will make our relationship with Boyi closer and will not cause the rebound of the heavenly palace;"

"The Gareth family of rainbow bridge is the most friendly to the Wizards; although they are weak among the thirteen leaders, the marriage with them will send a very strong signal to enhance the Wizards' confidence in the Turin family..."

"What about you?!"

Loren interrupted her again, frowning: "what does this have to do with them? What do you think?"

This time, the countess did not answer him immediately.

She stared into the dark haired wizard's eyes, and there was no sign in her motionless eyes:

"I regard myself as a member of the Turin family... I can do anything for the prosperity of the family; no matter how much sacrifice, no matter how much abandonment, pay... As long as it is worth it."

"Your so-called worth is to let twelve men decide who a woman will marry?" Lauren looked at her with a very incomprehensible expression: "let twelve wolves decide the ownership of a piece of meat - what do you think of yourself?"

"So... Loren Turin, what about you?"

She didn't give the black haired wizard the chance to ask questions. A very complex expression appeared on her slightly pale face:

"What do you think of yourself?"
