"... In other words, do you know that Lord Duke has rarely participated in the Round Table Parliament recently ..."

"... The Duke just returned from Poi and was seriously wounded, which is not surprising; besides, there is Count Charlotte in the Round Table Parliament, there is nothing to worry about ..."

"... That's strange. A duke and an earl are both in Turin. Don't the duke worry ..."

"... worry? Ah ... you have to say that, I also heard a lot of news, the relationship between the two seems to be getting worse ..."

"... It couldn't have been okay, one was a direct line and the other was a branch; if it wasn't an accident, how could the earl give up the duke's hand ..."

"... Speaking of it, the Earl has been this year ... Why won't he marry ..."

"... I heard that the Earl of Ramallos in Lake City and Lord Glenwell of Stormwind have more than once ..."

"... Ah ?! No wonder Lord Duke is anxious to build a new castle, really ..."

"... Byan's situation is getting more and more complicated ..."

The expressionless Charlotte Turin walked high in the middle of the promenade, ignoring the crowds on both sides; even if occasionally touching the line of sight, only the other party would bow and bow in fear, or look back in a hurry Pretend to overlook the scenery.

She didn't need to see it at all, and she knew all the "rumors" of those people.

In order to cover up a series of changes caused by the alliance between Byrne and Ebden, Charlotte, Jorde Jr., and Dalton concocted a large amount of "truth" in one hand, spreading it to every part of the Red Blood Fort in various ways. A corner to divert attention and attention.

Although I know that all of this was deliberately dissipated by myself, but ... sometimes the speaker is unintentional and the listener intentionally.

Feeling the gaze behind him, Charlotte squeezed the corner of his mouth, speeding up the pace.

The determined expression is just like making up your mind.

Pushing the door open, a familiar study is in front of you-the air is dust under the light and shadow, and the breath of parchment gives the quiet space a touch of elegance; the towering bookshelf is spotless, too clean, so breathing and heartbeat Became much clearer.

"How come today so late?"

With a hint of playful tone, Loren sat at the table with his legs on his legs and put down the tea cup in his hand, glancing at Qian Ying who was walking towards himself.

"Temporary Round Table Parliament, because new issues have been extended."

Taking a deep breath, the expressionless Charlotte hesitated for a moment before sitting quietly across from the dark-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 had to put in two or three times more effort than before to handle the work in front of it."

"And a certain" Duke Duke "has the opportunity to be" lazy "because of such a smart Earl ..." The dark-haired wizard with a curled mouth narrowed his eyes.

"I'm not boasting you."

The frowning countess sighed tiredly, looking at someone who had no repentance or even realized that he was wrong.

"What's the topic today? I heard that several counts in the south seemed to be quite dissatisfied with us letting go of the Yunling Kingdom, and Ramalos even lifted the table directly."

The black-haired wizard took the opportunity to disturb and divert the topic: "If it wasn't for Glenwell to stop him in time, I'm afraid he had rushed back to the territory directly?"

The countess didn't answer, just looked at him expressionlessly.

"Then ... Did you give aid to the 50,000 Legion in Poi, who is against it?" The atmosphere was awkward, and Loren could only continue to ask stiffly: "If this is not possible, it is also possible to directly transfer supplies from the Union Chamber of Commerce In this way, we do n’t have to go through the round table council, and everyone needs to agree ... "

Charlotte still didn't open his mouth, his eyes still cold.

"Uh ... for example, if it wasn't for Poi or Ebden's problem, it must have been the Sky Vault to us ..."

"When are you going to pull things around?"

The countess finally interrupted him, and her sharp eyes were like cold swords. "Or ... do you really want to tell me that you are not aware of what happened in the Round Table Parliament ..."

"Ok?"

After a slight pause, Loren twitched his mouth in embarrassment: "I only know a little ... just a little."

"A little ..." Charlotte raised his head slowly, with a sneered sneer on his raised lips: "Yeah, how can you think that you are miscalculated and become false when you are a smart duke?"

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

"Because of the fake news we deliberately released, now there are all kinds of gossip inside and outside the Red Blood Castle, which has changed from the initial rumor into a very serious" truth. "

The countess shook her head and said lightly: "Even the twelve counties have already believed it ... No, in fact, it doesn't matter whether they believe it or not, because if they go on like this, they will have to believe sooner or later."

"A lie is said a thousand times, and it becomes the truth ... hehe, you really got it."

Looking at Charlotte with a chuckle, Loren bowed his head dryly.

This time I really messed up ...

Originally just trying to cover up the alliance with Ebden and the "rumors" to divert attention, it turned into an extremely troublesome trouble.

The most direct trouble comes from the Red Blood Castle-this is the home base of the Turin family, and it is also the most powerful Earl's leader among the 13 leaders. When gossip is getting stronger, people living here immediately face a most direct problem.

The Duke and Earl are at odds, the Turin family is falling apart, who should they allegiance?

If the person who inherited the duke's position is Charlotte, this is not a problem;

If the relationship between the two is harmonious, they do not need to consider.

But now ... facing the Duke of Triumph and the entrenched Earl, the most loyal to the Turin family are completely confused.

This inherent hidden danger was completely forgotten by Loren and others because of the external factors such as the battle of the Centaurs and the Kingdom of the Clouds, the Sky Vault, and so on; now, it really broke out.

As a direct line of the Turin family, Charlotte's influence in the Red Blood Castle is deep-rooted, and it is not a duke that "falls from the sky" can easily be reversed; even if the two don't care, the vassals loyal to the Turin family cannot not give a **** about.

As the foundation of Byrne, every action of the Red Blood Castle will cause turmoil in the whole Principality; a little carelessness, hidden under the joy of triumph victory, the hidden danger that the thirteen leaders of the Byrne split for a hundred years will erupt one by one come out.

Silence, a full minute of silence.

"Then, about these rumors ..." The pretentious Loren, the first to break the silence: "What do they think of the Round Table Council?"

"It's simple."

Charlotte raised his eyes, the gloss in his eyes with a bit of bitterness: "It's okay to make a fake come true."

Does the fraud come true?

"Now there is crazy spreading outside, and you and I have reached an irreconcilable point ... very good, then we will meet them." She added expressionlessly:

"As long as you just find a reason to deprive me of the title of" Count of Red Blood Castle ", everything will be logical. No one will talk again."

"Deprive the title?" Loren frowned, "How can this be ?!"

"of course can!"

The countess gazed at him with complex eyes: "There are not many similar cases in the history of Byrne, but there are precedents; there are also special laws in the Imperial Code concerning the deprivation of the title of vassal by the dukes."

"I want to come. If the Sky Dome knows that you are going to start with me, you should be very happy ... never embarrass you."

"I'm not talking about the sky dome, I mean ..." Loren suddenly choked, opened his mouth but hesitated:

"Just, even if I want to! I mean, even ... why, why ?!"

"If you think about it, there is always a reason."

The Countess staring at the dark-haired wizard, said the words he had just said a few days ago: "What's more, this is what you need most now."

Loren frowned, his throat twitching nonstop.

"For example ... When the Duke expeditioned to the Great Green Sea, I had more than one right to make my own claims and issued several decrees ..."

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

After a pause, Charlotte looked at him meaningfully: "For another example, I have reached an alliance with Eboden without consulting with you-it is unforgivable to contact other principalities without the permission of the empire. Felony ... "

Opening his mouth, the dark-haired wizard stopped talking.

"And mobilize the soldiers in the territory without permission, and have the right to declare the Principality into full preparations; contact privately with other counts to reach an agreement without consulting the duke; resentful, spreading rumors in the court, causing the situation to be completely out of control ...

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

"Sin to be added ... why not suffer?"

Loren pursed his lips tightly, staring at Charlotte likewise.

"Of course, these methods can only be used to deal with the sky dome ... In the territory of Byrne, even if you are prestigious now, if you do this, there can be no consequences at all." She continued coldly:

"The Bayern people have the highest honor. This unreasonable act of destroying honor can be said to hurt the enemy by 1,000 and damage 800; but fortunately, you have a more appropriate way to end this ..."

"enough."

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Loren, who couldn't help it, interrupted her loudly: "Whenever such matters can be discussed, we have more important things now ..."

"marry."

Charlotte whispered.

"Huh?" Loren raised his eyebrows, his expression stunned.

"This is ... the real reason for the extension of the Round Table Parliament today." The countess motionless, provoking her gaze, looked down at the amazed black wizard:

"Also the best way."

She ... what's wrong with her today, is she irritated? Or……

"As long as I marry you, you can justly take back the Earl of the Red Blood Castle." Charlotte whispered while looking through the parchment scroll in his hand:

"You don't even have to worry about being accused, because this is the custom of Byrne, and there is a precedent."

"Esselov Turin, the fourth-generation cavalier of Byrne, and the death of Edgar, the Earl of Red Blood Castle at the time, he took back the title of Earl of Red Blood Castle and married it to that generation. The Earl of Glenwell at Fort Storm. "

"Even the object of the marriage is not lacking."

Charlotte snorted, as if sitting in front of him was no longer a black-haired wizard, but the twelve counts of the Round Table Council.

"The Earl of Ramallos in the heart of the lake has a great reputation in the battle of the Centaurs, the prestigious of the new generation of Bain knights, and their age status is basically equivalent ..."

"Yeah, everything is fine."

Loren widened his eyes and grunted: "Except for one thing, he is obviously more interested in men-every time I see him, the back of the neck is chilling!"

"Do you still let me say it?" The countess pouted, her eyes dissatisfied.

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

"Thirteen Brians, the relationship between Xijing and the Turin family is the most estranged." Charlotte continued: "Exactly, Count Angut of Shanyanbao has a grandson and is a very suitable marriage partner;"

"Do you like the sand Gobi Desert at Shanyanbao, or the monster of the Principality of Arles? Ah, yes, their wine is quite good, is it called" Hansha "or something else ... and the" Nightingale "in Stormburgh Same delicious! "

Under Charlotte's near murderous gaze, Loren chose to shut up.

"There is also Glenwell in the southern storm fort, which has the best relationship with the Turin family. Cooperating with them can greatly enhance the strength of Turin;"

"Bossivar, who looks up to the peak, is the Bayern who most resembles the Boi; to be close to them will make our relationship with Poi closer and will not cause a rebound in the Sky Dome;"

"The Gareth family of Rainbow Bridge is the most friendly to the wizards; although they are weaker among the 13 leaders, the marriage with them will give a very strong signal that will increase the confidence of the wizards in the Turin family. ... "

"how about you?!"

Loren interrupted her again ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ frowned, "What does this have to do with them, what do you think?"

This time, the countess did not answer him immediately.

She stared deadly at the eyes of the dark-haired wizard, and she couldn't see anything in her motionless eyes:

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

"What you call worth it is to let twelve men decide who a woman will marry?" Loren looked at her with an incomprehensible expression: "Let the twelve wolves decide where a piece of meat belongs-you put yourself What is it? "

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

She didn't give the dark-haired wizard a chance to ask questions, and a slightly complicated expression on her slightly pale face:

"What do you think of yourself again?"
