Chapter 529
"Have you refused?!"
Charlotte Torino's expression looks so incredible that he has forgotten his original reservedness and arrogance. I'm in a place where fish and dragons mixed in together like Xiamu Garden.
She just stared at the black hair wizard in front of her, as if she was about to tear off the extremely indifferent face, and saw the one hidden inside...the core of ambition.
"Don’t get me wrong...the promise that should be fulfilled will not decrease, and I will return to the Scarlet Blood Castle with you--but...that’s all."
Loren calmly looked at the over-excited female count in front of him, her dark pupils gleaming with strange sheen; he shook his head, regretting a little.
I really shouldn’t have promised Brandon to come and explain to Charlotte Torino in person.
"You can rest assured...I will not marry you, I am not planning to become the Scarlet Blood Castle count, and I am not planning to become the leader of the Torino family-my only purpose by your side is Make sure that the Torino family will not betray Brandon Desalion for the time being."
Charlotte still frowned, looked suspiciously and calmly, and a black hair wizard who was impatient.
"That's it?"
"That's it." Loren opened his eyes and looked towards the female count: "Let's make things simpler... this farce The reason for all is that the prince did not want to leave Imperial Capital Golovin; at the same time, you both need the support of each other, but you can’t trust each other."
"So I save you this trouble— —Our requirement is only one, that is, the Torino family will not actively betray Brandon Dessalion; apart from this, you don’t have to continue to monitor me, or beware that I will make any difference between you and the Scarlet Blood Castle. Think, because I have no interest in this area from the very beginning."
"Then again, do I really look like that... ambitious guy?"
>
"Not interested in...?"
The voice will fall, and the female count suddenly has a frosty face, and the tone of each word is gnashing teeth:
"The glory of Byrne, Torino The glory of the family, the glory of the millennium..."
"For you...is interested?"
Uh...Am I saying something wrong?
"I, if I said something wrong, please forgive me, because..."
"Forgive?" Coldly snorted of the cold-looking female count: "Such a generous and tolerant proposal …Is there anything I need to forgive?!"
"No, you misunderstood, I just..."
"Shut up!"
Thoroughly Charlotte who fly into a rage out of humiliation was completely furious: "Shut up, Loren Torino! You, I forbid you to continue to humiliate me, humiliate the Torino family!"
Loren frowned slightly, He didn't expect Charlotte to be so excited; he just wanted to explain something, but the female count didn't give him this opportunity at all.
"You think of me as who——!!!"
Seeing the suddenly angry girl, Loren decisively chose to shut up.
"I am the leader of the Torino family, the only direct blood relative of the Black Duke Roland Torino, the female count of the Scarlet Castle, and no one in the entire empire dares to humiliate me like this! You think you just need to please a few words, Just showing it will make me stop worrying and forget your humiliation? Are you planning to break with the Torino family?!"
"No interest, no want...Who would believe your nonsense; I warn You, don’t think that the current decline of the Torino family will allow you and Brandon Desalion to humiliate wantonly; we may be weak, but we are not so low that we can whisper to others!"
The girl’s sharp voice contained a little hysterical and tragic meaning, and the anger poured out in her heart. The sorrowful voice did not expect the black hair wizard in front of her to hear it. The fingers of her handkerchief were white, that was a fist. Symptoms of too much effort.
In a sense, she guessed it right. Loren didn't listen to what she was saying, but it wasn't that she couldn't understand why she was so excited and hysterical.
The Torino family, which lost the entire two generations of Duchy, and even wants a girl to become the family leader, has reached the point of survival and extinction...otherwise why Charlotte Torino took the risk to come to Imperial Capital , Marry Brandon Desalion at any cost?
For this once strong but declining family, dignity has become as important as life, and it has also made the girl extremely sensitive... She can’t, let alone show weakness, otherwise she will It will make the family behind him lose the last thing to be proud of.
She can accept the exchange of interests, even unfair treaties, but she absolutely cannot accept the humiliation of expert first class; therefore, when the black hair wizard said that he was "not interested" in these, Xia Lott would be excited to the point of anger.
Neither Loren nor Brandon... In her heart they are just tools for rejuvenating the family. She really can't imagine that these people would be indifferent to wealth and power.
So he said this just to humiliate himself! Humiliating the Torino family, a despicable way to seize the initiative!
The girl took a deep breath, fragrant shoulder shook, and calmed her mind to the point where she could keep her sane and not lose her dignity... Today, she has lost her self-control. If this continues, she can only let her This shameless bastard despised himself and the Torino family even more.
Slowly opened her eyes, and the frosty Charlotte stared at the black hair wizard:
"Loren Torino...tell me, what do you want?! "
What do I want...The dark pupils flicker slightly, a weird smile floats from the corner of the black hair wizard's mouth, and the eyes of the female count become more subtle:
"Don't you already have the answer?"
"You?!"
The girl subconsciously wanted to refute him, but when she saw those eyes , But there was a trace of fear in my heart for no reason.
Maybe... he was not deliberately humiliating himself?
"Glory, wealth, power, Supreme authority...you, don't you really desire these?"
How can this be...
Zhang She opened her mouth, but Charlotte never said a word; it seemed that it was only a moment, and she seemed to have lost sight of the black hair wizard anymore.
What does he want...what is he longing for?
People who yearn for glory...What they pursue is only the opportunity to prove themselves, the glory that can shine in front of others;
People who desire wealth...What they pursue is only those crystals Clear and near-transparent small coins; as long as the gold coin is placed in front of them, these people can even abandon their lives and souls, and sell the rope that hangs themselves to their enemies;
wild ambition , For them, power is the poison and the only antidote; only by gaining more power can they fill their empty hearts, but it will not take long for them to be hard to fill and pursue more;
They... It's nothing more than this...
But Loren, Loren·Torino...
"I know what you are thinking, Charlotte·Torino count."
Smiled and shook his head. The black hair wizard’s expression was very subtle: "I know that for you... this kind of exchange of interests has become a mind-set. I believe there will be people willing to do anything without asking for anything in return."
"There is nothing wrong with thinking like this...in a sense."
The female count frowned slightly, her fingers pale.
"What I want to tell you is that what you can take out is not attractive to me..." Loren said softly, his lazy voice was like joking:
p>"I know this is very incredible to you, but it is so...yes, I don’t understand it, but I really don’t have any plans for it."
" Or to use your words...what I long for, it's not what I pursue."
"Maybe you just don't know it!" The girl coldly snorted, still unwilling to give in:
"Don't think that you are special...Many ambitious people are just like you before they really come into contact with power, but when they really taste the'sweetness'...you are just a muddleheaded layman!"
"Perhaps." Loren's voice was with a smile, indifferently like the cold summer night wind:
"A long time ago, I also had a very clear goal..."
p>"But the more I understand this world, the more truth I see, the more I know my situation, the more I discover..."
"Maybe I have Wish... can only be realized after death."
