Chapter 618
"Charles...you really are, you really make me..."
In a black dress that looked like a military uniform, Charlotte was sitting in the palace hall. On the armchair, looking down at the Scarlet Blood Fort Steward, who was half-kneeling in front of him, he said those words with his teeth, the faint loss and unbelievable gaze, finally turned into a long sigh, expression Restoring his usual calmness:
"I will not pursue the matter of privately mobilizing the army and the court Knight. You have done a good job...In any case, Gaspar is our most important enemy, if To be able to defeat him, of course you must do everything you can."
Good job...
Just hearing these words, Charles, who was half kneeling on the ground, could imagine this moment. What a heart-wrenching Charlotte is! The most trusted person eventually violated her wishes and did the most shameful thing she did, and even deliberately kept her in the dark; but everything was done to protect her and for her sake...
Only she herself can really understand how bitter such tangled and complicated emotions are.
"I'm so sorry, everything is my responsibility!"
His heart trembles slightly, Charles gritted his teeth and dropped his head deeply: "No matter the caravan is attacked It’s the encirclement and suppression of the Blood Cult tonight. Count knows nothing about it. It is my own unauthorized order to execute. All the responsibility lies with me! If the empire pursues it afterwards, I will..."
"You are not allowed to say such irresponsible things to me, Charles!"
Charlotte suddenly got up from the armchair, and the corners of her mouth trembled slightly: "Don't think it to me, you I can’t bear such a big responsibility-you are the manager of the Scarlet Blood Castle appointed by me. Even if the responsibility is to be held, it should be me. It’s not your turn!" Charles, who was hearing this, blinked, almost Buried his head on the ground.
"Okay, don’t be so nervous--if everything is in your plan, when the time comes, the Sky Vault is still overwhelmed and will not make things difficult for this shameful ugly thing like'the governor is heresy' Ours."
sighed, the female count couldn’t help being coldly snorted: "even more how Loren Torino should really be responsible-who would have expected this guy to be so believe oneself infallible, good at doing I have not forgotten to drag someone else; even you have to cover him and cover up everywhere... If it wasn't for Captain Euron to detect something wrong, I would still be kept in the dark!"
hearing The steward of this didn’t dare to say a word. Of course, it would be great to have a "punching bag" for count to complain at this time. How many sneezes failed?
even more how According to Charles's understanding of Charlotte, when she started complaining, she said that she was almost relieved, but she couldn't save face for a while, and didn't want to spare the other party easily, so she bury the two more. Just a sentence.
And Charles noticed a very important point—count called the wizard "Loren Torino", not "Loren" or "Viscount Loren".
This small change is very important, because Charlotte has never regarded Lord Loren as a member of the Torino family before, and it was completely because of the alliance with His Royal Highness that he had to allow him. Appeared in the Scarlet Blood Castle.
When did the change start, or did count already have a good impression on him...
"Also...about the bastard’s plan, how did you proceed? Is it so?"
It's coldly snorted again. Charlotte, who barely calmed down, turned the topic to the immediate matter: "He seems to have sneaked into the headquarters of the heretical sect with his guards?"
"The situation is almost like this, so far it seems that everything is going well."
Charles finally relaxed, and slowly got up and put his hands behind his back: The guards and patrols in the city issued orders to close all the city gates and entrances of the castle, and guards were stationed in important streets. The vicinity of the Governor's Palace has been completely sealed off, and it is impossible to have large-scale personnel access."
"Besides, so far we haven't noticed any movement from the Governor's Mansion... In fact, there is no sound, except for the guards and lights outside the door. It is almost the same as the empty one."
This is also the only situation that made Charles feel abnormal or weird. He was prepared for Gaspar to take the initiative to protest and even confront the guards of the Doge’s Palace, but the other party unexpectedly Calm to the point of silence, so much of his preparations were frustrated.
"Should this be considered a good thing?" Charlotte frowned slightly and couldn't help but speculated: "Maybe he has understood that he is gone and the situation has reached the point where it is irretrievable?"
"Maybe..."
Frowned Steward can only echo that way. Although there is always a trace of anxiety in his heart, he can't tell where the problem is.
No matter what he thinks, he really doesn’t think Gaspar will be the kind of ordinary person who can easily admit his fate... With the arrogant and overbearing of Governor Byrne, even if he knows that his family has resigned, the first thing The thing that comes to mind should also be to go to hell with the enemy instead of fleeing for his life.
Probably I really think too much, maybe...
"Boom——————!!!!!!"
The moment both of them relaxed their vigilance a little, the sudden loud noise made Charlotte complexion pale, and Charles turned his head and walked out of the hall directly, his eyes widened when he suddenly opened the door.
Over there... is the direction of the blood cult headquarters!
"What's the matter?!" The female count hurriedly followed, her eyes anxiously: "Is it the signal you agreed with Loren Torino, or did you say something?!"
p>"I don't know, but it should be more than just a signal." Charles opened the mouth and said very hard, his pupils constantly trembling: "The most important thing right now is the Governor's Mansion by Byrne, we We must first ensure that the vigilance over there is foolproof."
This is just a prevarication that Steward came up with temporarily-if there is an accident on Loren's side, the original plan must be temporarily shelved. Regardless of the result, the personal safety of count is the first, and the surrounding troops must be transferred back to the castle palace to guard it as soon as possible!
This was originally an extremely risky plan. Since variables have already occurred, we must stop as soon as possible, otherwise, what should we do if something really happens... Charles knows Charlotte too well, if he denies her directly She will definitely rush to the scene. If so, then we must find a way to keep her...
"No, we haven't seen Loren Torino's body yet; give up when the outcome is uncertain, this is not Torino. Family tradition!"
Charlotte interrupted her steward abruptly, and her voice calmly said to the extreme: "Call Euron, let him assemble the court Knights, and get ready for the battle!"
"At the same time...get my weapon armor and horse ready."
"count?!"
Charles turned pale in fright, subconsciously wanting to stop She: "It's too dangerous to leave the court at this time. Let Euronwei and Captain take responsibility..." Lott sighed in a low voice and calmed down the next second: "I know you are protecting me and don't want me to do stupid things-but when a shiver coldly count hides in his castle, it is from Torino's family. Count?"
"Can the Knights be loyal and swear to death count?"
The female count whispered: "I have never worshipped Roland. It’s because of his Torino family that he lost Duchy, but..."
"Even if I don’t want to admit it, this man who is always the first to take the lead, the world collapses, can smile and stand in the front is a real Duke Torino, worthy of being the descendant of King Knight!"
"...I understand."
Charles opened the mouth and said with difficulty.
Since Count has made up his mind, he can't save anything.
"You also go get ready, Charles. Let the guards at the entrances and exits and the city gate step up their guards. All patrols in the city will gather in the direction of the palace and clear the streets. Any suspicious persons will be resolved on the spot-tell They, get ready to fight!"
The voice fell, and the gray-faced female count turned and left.
I will not let others die for me in vain, I will end up with Gaspar Wien, the bastard who dared to humiliate the Torino family!
