Lawrence's Flower (3)

Contact was made by magic communication.

Seeing Roman floating in the air, Flora sat down and asked with a firm expression.

"How to help Lawrence's crisis. What is it?"

I turned around and didn't ask.

Now that Lawrence's soldiers were dying outside, she needed a way to solve the problem.

[If you ask me directly, I'll be honest. I intend to take revenge on the Barco family for personal reasons. The decision has already been made, and from now on, it is a matter of timing when to take revenge. So I contacted you. If the Lawrence family says they will sympathize with my plan, I will advance the timing and bring down the Barco family with you.]

Roman's suggestion.

It was unexpected.

For Lawrence, it was like an oasis in the desert, but Flora knew that there was a trap in Roman's words.

" What do we have to do with that plan?"

[Simple. Sacrifice for the plan. If House Lawrence declares its willingness to bleed and lay the plates first, we will do everything in our power to help fulfill the promise in Roman Dmitry's name. In order for our conversation to go smoothly, we must first make a promise.]

sacrifice.

It was a sensitive word.

In an instant, Flora's eyebrows twitched.

Roman Dmitry was a very clear-cut man.

He said that he readily accepted the breakup with him, and that he could never sacrifice himself because he is still a stranger.

It seemed like he didn't want to accept Roman's extended hand.

Roman's existence was like Flora's wife, and just by continuing to have a relationship with him, unknown emotions boiled inside him.

However.

no choice

In the first place, in the situation of being pushed to the edge of a cliff, the degree of sacrifice had to be prepared.

'Perhaps they knew our situation and suggested it. Roman Dmitry was the only one who dared to make a sacrifice and even offered Lawrence such a suggestion. We can't turn down Roman's offer.'

clenched his fist

Self-esteem was long gone.

The priority value for Flora was the safety of the family, so he looked straight at Roman and said.

"I promise. If I can protect the family, I will do anything to help."

[one more. You have something to promise.]

"tell."

[Because of my participation in the war, there will be many controversies in the future. Because my marriage has been broken, I have no reason to intervene in the war, and this is something that the central government's connections that support the Barco family raise a problem. Therefore, there is something you have to do with what happens next. If you really want House Lawrence to be safe, give me a justification so I can intervene in the war.]

justification.

Until then, I didn't know what that meant.

However, at Roman's explanation that followed immediately, Flora couldn't control her expression.

The conversation is over.

Haven't accepted the offer yet.

At Roman's words that he would wait only 30 minutes, Flora headed towards the wall with a weak foot.

'Is it really the right thing to accept Roman's proposal?'

Roman.

His explanation was shocking.

"The Barco family had some kind of plan to get Dmitry and Lawrence apart. While I was drunk, he made me stay in a room with Emily Barco, a colleague of the Barco family, and forced me to break up the marriage with that as an excuse. This is my personal cause to take revenge on them, and this is how you will give me a cause from now on. Anthony Barco. Claim that he molested you. There was nothing to do with him, but the fact that he was molested alone could not promote his marriage to Dmitry, so we can say that we broke up. Perhaps it will cause your value to fall to the ground. The beautiful reputation that was called Lawrence's flower would be destroyed, and the events that broke out in succession along with the breakup would be very fatal in the aristocratic world. But if you give up a lot as a noblewoman, you can get one important thing to solve Lawrence's crisis."

at that word.

My hands trembled.

It was a reality that Flora could not readily accept, but she did not want to avoid her gaze like a coward.

I am not a flower in a greenhouse.

In the face of cold reality, Flora was determined to give up everything.

"That is precisely the justification for me to intervene in the war. I will never forgive those who have touched me. Blood Fang was like that, and it's no different now. If the time of molestation was before the breakup, Flora Lawrence, you are mine too. If you promise me just one more thing, I will make sure that Anthony Barco will never look at you with lustful eyes again."

my person.

My heart was pounding.

It's a mutually beneficial deal, but Roman said Flora would have been his man if they hadn't broken up.

Oh yeah.

It was someone I didn't even know.

Roman was simply trying to do something dangerous with Barco, just for that reason.

bang!

Curl rumble!

"The wall has fallen!"

"Hurry up the iron fence!"

After a short absence, the walls of the fortress went into chaos.

A part of the wall collapsed due to the continuous flare attacks, and Barco's soldiers could be seen from afar.

won't last long It was only a matter of time before Lawrence collapsed, as it was qualitatively and quantitatively unmatched by the loss of the wall's advantage.

it was dark

With the flames burning all over the place, Flora ran to the fortress wall and shot arrows with the soldiers.

puck!

"Gagging."

under the wall.

One of the soldiers who was running was seen falling.

Flora quickly gave her another arrow, and from how much she had practiced for the past few days, a faint pain came from her finger.

But now it didn't matter.

Flora roughly ripped the cumbersome skirt, then stood in a position comfortable to fire arrows and shouted loudly at the soldiers.

"Attack! We will never fall!"

That moment.

Flora thought.

From the moment she entered the battlefield, her life as an aristocratic woman who lived without knowing anything was over.

"Handel!"

It was the maid's name.

Seeing her running towards her with a frightened face, Flora said with her eyes fixed on the target.

"Call Roman Dmitry right now. I'll do anything you want, so get rid of all those damn Barco children right now. At least I don't want to be Anthony Barco's concubine."

made a decision

from now on.

Flora will live a new life.

tuk.

The magic communication was cut off.

When Flora said that she had accepted the offer, Chris, who was watching the situation from the side, asked.

"Are you going to attack right now?"

Roman and the soldiers.

They were not far from Lawrence.

If I gave an order even now, I could help right away, but Roman didn't want to overdo it.

"no. We are going to watch a little bit more."

"If we let time go on like this, Lawrence may collapse. Barco mobilized Flair in the siege. Its firepower is not at a level that Lawrence's power can withstand. If you're really going to help Lawrence and thwart Barco's plans, you must attack the enemy's rear right now so they can breathe."

That was appropriate advice.

Chris had studied warfare, so he knew that Lawrence had been pushed to the brink.

However.

Roman thought differently.

"Why do I even have to think about that?"

" Yes?"

"It doesn't matter if Lawrence collapses. Even if the wall collapses and Barco's forces attack Lawrence, Lawrence who fights the battle will be able to survive for at least an hour. What I want is to get the most out of the fight between Lawrence and Barco with the least amount of damage."

It was a cruel remark.

He considered only practical gains, completely excluding conscience as a human being.

"Kris."

"Yes."

"There are a few things to keep in mind as you follow me. It's more important that one person I don't bleed than the death of hundreds of people I don't even know. Lawrence is going to kill a lot of people because of this. But it's a problem because I followed an incompetent person, and I have no intention of forcing meaningless sacrifices on those who swore allegiance to me differently from them. So get plenty of rest. For when we have to step in for Lawrence's sacrifice, then we'll have to shed blood."

" Okay."

Chris nodded.

Now he seemed to know for sure.

Roman Dmitry.

He may be cruel to others, but he was at least worthy of an oath of allegiance.

above the wall.

Things turned quickly.

With Barco's army approaching, Flora approached Viscount Lawrence and said,

"father! Open the gates now and face Barco's army from the front!"

"What do you mean!"

open the gates

It was an unacceptable statement for Viscount Lawrence.

But Flora, who could not afford to explain in detail, persuaded her father with a strong tone.

"I just promised Roman Dmitry to help by magic communication. The reason we can't stand Barco's attack is because of the presence of the flare. So, if you open the gates now and distract the enemies, then Roman Dmitry will appear with an army and destroy the flare."

"Why Roman Dmitry?"

"I don't have time to elaborate. What is certain is that Roman Dmitry is not a man to speak of."

Moment.

Viscount Lawrence's mind was intricately intertwined.

Roman Dmitry.

He was clearly not an ordinary person, who had briefly seen the Blood Fang incident. There was a sense of dignity in the way he looked at himself, and he didn't look like a person who could speak one word or another as Flora said.

the problem is.

He had no reason to help Lawrence.

It may have been malicious because of the breakup, but I couldn't think of any reason why Roman Dmitry would help Lawrence.

'Is it the right choice to trust Roman Dmitry and open the gates? According to her daughter's explanation, Roman Dmitry is probably thinking of helping with her own strength rather than borrowing the power of the family. The opponent is the Barco family. No matter how distracting the attention, it is difficult to defeat the troops they have raised and the elites of the Berge mercenaries to approach the flare. And if you don't know how to use the aura, you can't even break the flare in the first place.'

judgment was not made.

the crossroads of life.

Viscount Lawrence was weak.

He was a typical bird-breasted owner, and the more dangerous the situation, the less capable he was to make the right judgment.

OK.

"Father, no, Dad. It's a fight we're at a disadvantage anyway. The moment we decided to fight back, we bet a lot on this fight, and if we don't defeat Barco, the Lawrence family will disappear from the history of the Cairo Kingdom. So trust me. Destroying the flare with Roman Dmitry's help is the only way we can survive right now."

Flora said eagerly.

behindhand.

Viscount Lawrence saw the figure of Flora.

The armor over the top was tanned by the flames, and the skirt was torn and fluttering.

And the bow in his hand.

A man named Gaju is weak and unable to make decisions, but Flora has found a way to solve the problem.

believed

one and only daughter.

Viscount Lawrence overcame her fear and shouted at the soldiers.

"Open the gates now! Roman Dmitry has agreed to help us. So go out the gates and slay Barco's heinous evildoers!"

wide open gates.

Following Roman's plan, Lawrence chose to make a sacrifice to lay the plates.
