Chapter 526
Byrne Duchy, the Torino family of the Scarlet Blood Castle is the Wang Family Desalion of the comparable dragon, standing in the peak of the Sacland Empire.
At this moment, the current female count of Charlotte Torino is sitting in the Celestial Palace, in a palace belonging to Brandon Desalion; the attendants and maids on both sides are trembling with fear, dare not say a word.
As a vassal count, let alone stepping into the celestial palace, Charlotte Torino’s female count should not even have the qualifications to be seen, and leaving Fiefdom without any reason is a capital crime.
But these are not applicable to the female count of Scarlet Blood Castle.
Generations are changing, times are changing, but the Torino family will not change...at least not right now.
Torino is Byrne, Byrne is Torino...Even the Sackland people have heard this southern slang many times; even Desalion, in the Sackland people Never before has such a high prestige been obtained.
Because the Byrne Duchy and Torino family are different from other grand princes—they were not conquered by the military force by the Sackland Empire, but for a promise and repaying favor, they chose to bow to the acknowledge allegiance, and to second His Majesty Eckhart I of the life generation swore allegiance.
Even if he was deprived of the title of the Grand Duke, and even Duchy himself was taken over by the governor sent by the empire, all financial power and military power were deprived, and two generations later, what the surname represented Glory is still very dazzling, still famous.
Even in the imperial trial, Eckhart II also reserved a seat for her. No one dared to say anything. In the eyes of all Imperial Capital aristocrats, they were deprived of the title of duke. The Torino family still has the same status as all Duchy's Grand Duke, at least above the Archon of Eboden.
The leader of the Torino family, who is second only to the emperor's majesty, visits a prince who ranks second in inheritance rights. There is no need to say anything.
Without a little preparation, he was beaten by the prince who was caught off guard. His expression was even more exciting-he slept late last night, his hair was messed up like a hedgehog, and his upper body was only wearing underwear. , There was only one boot on his foot and it was reversed, and a pair of red pupils who stayed up all night became even more red.
Brandon was very sure, Charlotte looked at her eyes with a very concealed look of contempt.
But well... he's used to it a long time ago.
"Uh...I don’t know what’s the matter with Charlotte Torino female count?"
Brandon smiled brightly from under the messy red hair and faced Female count's cold and arrogant gaze, unconcernedly opened the chair and sat down, her polite gestures made people mistakenly believe that he was not wearing underwear, but that he was wearing a dress when he saw the emperor.
Looking at the joking gaze of the prince, the female count who was secretly gritting her teeth with no politeness, her white hands were exposed.
Calm down, must be calm.
He did this deliberately, he wanted to test his own tricks, he must not be fooled easily...otherwise he would definitely take advantage of him.
Charlotte Torino only knows a little about Brandon Desalion; from the famous humiliating prince to the destruction of the rule of the free nobles in Eboden, The hero... then, also won the most brilliant victory in the imperial trial.
Of course, the person who really won the imperial trial was Loren Torino...but without Brandon, he would not even have this chance; the Imperial Family wizard Academy ultimately did not choose to betray, most of the reason is also Not because of him, but because of His Royal Highness Brandon Desalion.
cunning, changeable, insidious...This is the label Charlotte put on His Royal Highness. In her eyes, Brandon just wrote "I'm a bad guy" directly on her head. .
Of course, the same goes for that Loren Torino... The proud Torino female count would not admit that this guy who suddenly appeared was actually a blood relative of her own family.
Although I want to ask them, it does not mean abandoning dignity and bowing down.
For the sake of the family, Scarlet Blood Castle, Duchy...
Never retreat!
Charlotte took a deep breath, puffed up her proud chest, with a pair of swords and eyebrows, and her breath is compelling:
"I'm here to fulfill the promise, Your Royal Highness Brandon."
"Uh, there are no outsiders here, so I don’t need to be so formal..." Brandon waved his hand and patted his chest awkwardly: "Of course, I never doubted you—that matter, Loren has already Tell me, Charlotte."
The female count still looks frosty, reserved: "Please respect yourself, my lord, I am the Torino family, the count of Scarlet Blood Castle; besides, you and I are not familiar yet To the point where you can directly call your name!"
"What's the matter, it's just a title, anyway, sooner or later..." The impatient Brandon muttered softly as he saw the female count. After the uglier expression came, he waved his hand quickly and smiled as if pleased:
"Uh...Of course, if you disagree, then forget it!"
The voice fell. The female count's expression only improved slightly, but it didn't give him much good face, so that the prince couldn't help twitched the corner of his mouth.
According to the previous agreement between myself and Charlotte, as long as they can obtain the allegiance of the Imperial Family wizard Academy, the Torino family of the Scarlet Blood Castle will support themselves.
Although Byrne Duchy has become a province, the influence of the Torino family in Byrne is still unmatched, and it is the only ally Brandon can win... Otherwise, whether it is Ai Le Mans is still the Grand Duke of Lotaire, how could these people listen to themselves?
As for how to support and how to support, the two sides did not choose, and there is no need to...The current leader of the Torino family is Charlotte, which means that there are no men in the Torino family’s direct line. NS.
If you want to continue the bloodline of the Torino family without being seized by outsiders, or even the title is robbed, the only way is to marry a higher bloodline, and at the same time avoid The possibility of being annexed.
Of course, Charlotte can also choose collateral members in the family, but doing so will not help the rise of the Torino family... The Torino family, which has been weakened for two generations, must be revived. There are foreign aid.
The person who took Duchy was the tenth generation of the Dragon Queen. If you want to regain the title, you must have the approval of another Supreme Emperor.
Charlotte, bet on Brandon!
That’s what I said... Brandon scratched his head. Right now he really needs a prestigious and weak family like the Torino family to become his own foreign aid, otherwise he would only rely on Imperial Capital. The wizard is of no avail.
But saying one thing and doing it is another thing--except for Ms. Fitronai, he really can’t stand the second one next to him who also doesn’t give himself a good face, even making jokes. Amazing woman.
But if you want to draw the Torino family to your side, there doesn’t seem to be a second way besides this... Make them believe in their sincerity.
Wait... Sincerity?
Brandon was stunned.
"What's your expression?"
Looking at the prince who suddenly tilted his head and motionless, the proud Charlotte woman count didn't give him a good face.
"It's nothing, I just figured out something suddenly." Shrugged disapprovingly, Brandon smiled like a child: "Let's stop pretending, Charlotte Torino female count."
The voice fell, female count’s expression was a bit ugly, and she frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"
"It is obvious that we don’t like each other very much—even if Standing together for their own interests, sooner or later, conflicts will cause our alliance to break up... I don’t think that after I greatly offend you, the Torino family can stand behind me without hesitation."
Brandon in the chair said very directly, with a casual expression: "So, for our own sakes, I suggest a new way to maintain our alliance... that can meet the needs of the Torino family, but also Let me get a strong enough aid to fight against my beloved Imperial Brother."
"A brand new way?"
Charlotte's slightly eyebrows raised, the corners of her eyes are already shaking. Exposed her curiosity.
"Yes!" The corners of his mouth were curled up triumphantly, Brandon snapped his fingers slightly:
"And about this, I have a bold idea..."
