Chapter 566
Red Blood Fort, this is a fairy tale place for outsiders.
Different from the dreaded and terrifying castle of Lothar’s military fortress, there are no huts, muddy and dirty towns like Sackland...On this prosperous land, there are only villages dotted with large manors. And exquisitely crafted palace city.
In the back garden of the palace, I just woke up from a dream. Charlotte, wearing only a light blue silk and satin dress, leaned against the fountain, her long hair like a waterfall draped over her shoulders, and the rays of light at dawn put a hazy color on the back of the female count.
In the summer morning, the garden is full of blooming flowers, and the sleepy-eyed female count... No need to embellish, just the sight in front of you is enough to paint.
But at this moment, Charlotte frowned, and there was no sleepiness in her cold eyes, staring at a courtyard facing the Scarlet Blood Castle under the hill... Governor Byrne's mansion.
When she just returned to the Scarlet Blood Castle, Charlotte didn’t expect the situation to deteriorate into this situation. Perceiving that she had left the Torino family without a leader, Governor Byrne took the opportunity to seize the opportunity. After leaving the city defense, taking control of the Xiacheng District, and declaring martial law throughout the city!
The most troublesome thing is that the other party is well-founded, and Governor Byrne has the power to "control the whole territory of Byrne" in name; a large number of nobles are killed, and the murderer is at large. Of course, the other party is under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion. Within range.
But in fact, the real purpose of this group of people is to lift the Torino family, turn the Scarlet Blood Castle into the territory of Governor Byrne's Mansion, and even further expand the influence and power of Byrne!
If you are obediently surrender, Governor Byrne will become the real Duke of Byrne!
The sound of footsteps behind him gradually approached and stopped ten steps away; Charlotte looked back, a still immature but rigorous gaze, a gray-eyed boy like Knight stood in place, Bow himself and salute:
"Good morning, Torino female count."
"Good morning, Lucien." Charlotte was slightly nodded, with a gentle tone. Kind of closeness.
She also has several points of understanding about this gray pupil—the illegal child of the Wiertz family, the younger brother of Ulrich Wiertz, the current Duke of Ileman, and the youngest leader of the Empire Legion. , Loren Torino’s guards, according to rumors, the two have also arrived in the legendary giant dragon city together...
In short, for the precarious situation, Lu Sien is already Charlotte. A rare helper, but also one of the people who can be trusted and entrusted.
Of course, she also understands that the other party will be willing to help herself, all because of the black hair wizard...If the Torino family loses power, the result for Loren is also self-evident.
"Is there any news from Loren?"
"Not yet." Lu Sien shook his head, his expression also somewhat helplessly sighed: "Imperial Capital, I only heard His Majesty Brandon was chartered by His Majesty to be a member of the Imperial Cabinet, but he only has the right to watch."
"In addition...Jordd, the heir of the Chamber of Commerce, died at sea-only found He was riding a battleship under the name of the governor. There was no one living person in the entire warship, but the bones of Jr. Yod were also not found. To this day whereabouts unknown."
Good kill... heard An angry look flashed in Charlotte's eyes of this news; for the running dog of the Governor's Mansion, the Chamber of Commerce, which controls Byrne's economic lifeline, the female count only hates it.
The gray pupil has no extra thoughts. He is only worried about Loren’s safety: "However, since Imperial Capital has not spread rumors so far...that means it is possible that Lord Loren has not been affected by them. Captured, but escaped?"
"It should be like this." Female count slightly nodded.
"I have sent someone to ambush the eyeliner around the Scarlet Blood Castle. This guy has a very special appearance. As long as he enters Byrne, he will be spotted." Charlotte's lips trembled twice. He sighed with blinking eyes:
"But according to his habit, he probably won’t take the road, but directly across the border from the wilderness...Except for himself, I’m afraid no one knows what this guy is. Where."
Lu Sien was slightly startled, but then couldn't help being nodded...this did match the black hair wizard he had in mind.
Glacier wasteland, giant dragon city, Golovin... Your Excellency Loren never seems to act according to normal people's thinking once.
"By the way, Ain Rand... how is it?" The female count asked suddenly, noticing that the gray-pupil's expression was a little confused, and then quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong... I just heard about him (her) I’ve been in the laboratory recently, and I’m just a little worried."
Although the alchemist never said it, the emotion of "caring" is never an emotion expressed; many emotions The more delicate people care about something, the more they will deliberately pretend to be indifferent; but even how they cover up, they will also reveal a little weak spot.
The female count doesn't believe that the friend who cares so much about the black hair wizard will not care about his safety at all.
"Your Excellency Ain has just been obsessed with research recently, so you don't need to pay too much attention." The gray pupil was very cautious to avoid this topic, his right hand clenched his fist slightly behind him.
"Really?" Charlotte, who heard this reply, just raised her eyebrows and didn't say much.
However, Lu Sent ran over early in the morning and didn’t ask about this. There are more urgent things to deal with: “Yesterday the deputy governor of the Governor’s Mansion was killed. The elite of the famous patrolman was killed!"
"What?!"
Charlotte was surprised at first, but then guessed something: "Did Vampire do it?!" "
"There is no evidence, but it is very possible." Gray pupil nodded: "At least...they said that."
"Holy Cross, I thought... …" The incredible Charlotte murmured, but quickly put his voice down.
But Lu Sien also knew what she wanted to say, and continued: "I think so about this matter... If the case of this murder case finally has an eye on it, then the Government House will lose its continuation. The reason for the martial law!"
"You can take the opportunity to regain control of the Xiacheng District and the city defense, and ask to review this incident with the Governor's Mansion-you are the count of the Scarlet Blood Castle, which happened in this area. You have the right to intervene in everything on the land!"
"I thought you would advise me to be patient." Charlotte raised an eyebrow: "Challenge the power of Governor Byrne head-on... It's not good for Brandon and your master, right?"
"That's the original..." Lu Sien shook his head: "At this time, at another time; for a whole month there was no result at all, which is enough to prove How incompetent is the Governor of the Governor’s Mansion. You are now participating in order to restore the peace of the Scarlet Blood Castle as soon as possible rather than fighting for power. It will not be left to any people."
"Very good!"
The expressionless female count was very decisive and got up immediately: "I will go to the Governor's Mansion in person today at noon and let them give me an answer!"
"If you don't mind, just go with me Let's go." Charlotte cast her gaze on the gray pupil: "As a guard, explore their fiction for me...can you?"
"Of course!" Lucien slightly nodded, A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "This is the honor of being under."
"Under..." Charlotte groaned these two words, and looked at the gray-eyed teenager's face gently tenderly snorted.
"Uh...what's the matter?"
"Nothing!" Ignoring Lucien's confused expression, Charlotte turned around.
It is worthy of being a member of the same group, the master and the servant are the same hypocrisy!
For a moment of tranquility, a servant walked into the courtyard and handed the envelope in his hand to the female count’s hand; while the servant left for a while, the sharp-eyed young man with gray eyes immediately noticed that there was a stamp of the Governor’s Mansion on it. .
Charlotte, who accepted the letter, was still a little at a loss, but when she saw the content, her heart suddenly stagnated, and lifts the head's eyes were full of incredible expressions.
"What's the matter?" Lu Sien, who sensed the strange female count, tentatively opened the mouth and said, and stepped forward slightly: "Are they threatening you or..."
" No, it's not a threat!" Charlotte's eyes were a little absent, but he concealed it well: "A wizard from Imperial Capital had some trouble outside the city gate and said he wanted to see me."
"And... it's still black hair and black eyes, claiming to be Brandon Dessalion's wizard consultant!"
Lu Sien was taken aback: "Where is he now?!"
"Just outside the palace gate!"
