Chapter 648
At the beginning of the lanterns, the exquisite fluorite lamps made the banquet hall of the Red Blood Fort Palace bright as daylight, and the long banquet table, which was as bright as a mirror, was filled with rich delicacies and exquisite sterling silver. Tableware, multi-colored flowers also add a touch of summer color to the table.
Exquisite breakfast, easy lunch, sumptuous dinner-the life of the Byrne people is nothing like this. If there is no dinner with seven or even eleven dishes, a Byrne noble may not be willing to move a fork.
Fried golden and crisp bread slices topped with mayonnaise, fragrant fish soup;
The meat sausage, pork tendon, and white lentils are stewed until crispy Tasty bean stew;
There is also white sauce beef stew with onions, carrots, celery, mushrooms, butter, and potato essence...just looking at it is mouth-watering.
Looking at the table full of delicious food, the black hair wizard glanced at the female count sitting directly opposite him with the corner of his eye as much as possible, and then cautiously looked at both sides...
"Why?" Charlotte raised her eyebrows coldly: "I don't like it? I withdrew it and let the kitchen do it again!"
"No dislike." Loren smiled reluctantly: "It's just ......"
"Just what?"
"It's just... why are the two of us?" The black hair wizard's smile was a little stiff. "What about the others?"
While talking, Loren's gaze moved involuntarily to the empty chairs on both sides of the long table; there was only him and Charlotte in the huge banquet hall; not to mention the others, even Charles or even the court None of the servants can see.
In addition to the cold expression of female count, the warm and comfortable atmosphere of the banquet hall makes it like a lone grave pile in the midnight jungle...
"Others ?"
The female count was coldly snorted first, and then asked in an angry voice: "Ain Rand wizard, or your little lover from Eboden?"
"Uh... wait a minute! I really have nothing to do with Ariel..."
"If it were the lady from the Corona family, she would eat in her room now "Charlotte of gloomy face, coldly snorted smiled contemptuously: "If you want to feed someone one bite at a time, it's better to go quickly, let me bother you two for the province!"
The silver light flickering knife flew on the plate, and in the blink of an eye, a whole piece of sausage had become mashed meat, bloody and tragic.
The corner of the black hair wizard's mouth twitched inexplicably.
"As for His Excellency Ain Rand...In order to take care of you, he (she) didn't close his eyes for seven days and nights. Before you got better, almost no water got in. He just returned to the wizard association to rest in the last two days;"
Frosty-faced Charlotte cut the beef on the plate neatly in half with a single knife, and Loren can see how unhappy she is across the table: "A guy like you, actually To have a friend who cares so much about you...I don’t know if it’s your luck or Ain Rand’s misfortune!"
While speaking, Charlotte stuck a piece of beef with a knife backhand and delivered it to her mouth. The extremely elegant movements can still make people feel the killing intent like gnashing teeth.
Loren, who just wanted to say something, stopped talking, slightly nodded sighed.
It seems that Charles is right. She is indeed in a bad mood, and it is quite bad.
As for the reason; well, it’s not hard to guess at all...is it?
"Charles told me that you went to see the Knight lords from all over Byrne this afternoon." Loren slightly smiled, making his tone as gentle as possible:
"I heard that they..."
"Why, do you still want to invite them?!" Charlotte suddenly erected her sword eyebrows, and her shoulders undid violently: "Okay, just It’s up to you to tell them how I made the cathedral ruined by a group of thugs in front of me and still remain indifferent!"
Before the voice was over, her face flushed with anger suddenly picked up a cup. The red-blooded wine drank it while looking up, and Loren was frightened.
The vigorous wine syrup went down his throat, making Charlotte's complexion more vivid; the corners of the bright red mouth gasped violently, but did not calm the restless heart in the slightest, on the contrary, it made Charlotte's complexion more vivid. The loss.
Silence, deathly silence.
Looking at the female count with her head drooping and biting her lower lip, Loren raised her mouth slightly and sighed, stood up from the chair with difficulty, and walked towards her.
"Loren, you..."
Perceiving the black hair wizard getting closer and closer, Charlotte suddenly raised her head suddenly, just as he wanted to say anything. He stretched out his hand to block it, watching him sit down beside him rather abruptly.
"Don't ask, don't say, don't answer."
The black hair wizard calmly took the bottle, refilled it for her and herself, and then delivered the glass In front of Charlotte: "Drink, it's all right."
"You, don't you still can't drink?"
"Except tonight." Loren curled his mouth. Dark eyes and female count stared at each other.
Looking at those slightly provocative eyes, Charlotte, who was rather unconvinced, grabbed the glass and drank it; the shrugged black hair wizard raised his neck and poured it down. .
Um...I will probably die of pain after tonight, right?
The wine pulp of scarlet as blood is as hot as a fire; the female count with blushing cheeks is not more high-spirited and vigorous, but a bit more lonely, knocking the wine glass on the table suddenly: "One more cup !"
Loren drank it, and pours a full glass for her: "Dare to drink?"
"Who is afraid of whom?!" The empty cup fell, count Don't back down.
"If you drink too much, you may be ashamed tomorrow."
"Why, I'm scared?!"
"I'm worried about you. "
"Worry about yourself first!"
The black hair wizard slightly smiled, calmly filling her up again.
"You had a difficult day today."
"I...?!"
"You had a hard day today." Loren hit calmly. The female count who was short of breath broke off and stared gently at her eyebrows... It seemed to Charlotte that she was staring into her own eyes, subconsciously trying to avoid, but couldn't avoid it.
"Tomorrow, more Knight lords and nobles will arrive at the Scarlet Blood Castle. You will have a harder life, a hundred times harder than today." The black hair wizard's eyes burned:
"No one will understand you, no one can understand you, no one will know how many difficulties and unspeakable sufferings you have... They can only see your faults, your negligence; you are embarrassed, you make mistakes Now."
Charlotte with flushed cheeks bit her lower lip, tried to turn her head several times, but was a little unconvinced, staring at the face of the black hair wizard.
"I guess...they ignored your thoughts throughout the entire meeting, and they have been sternly accusing you of your negligence, the injustice of the empire, and that Byrne should be independent, should restore the glory of the past, should be renewed Election of a new Knight King..."
"Enough!"
The aggressive Charlotte stood up suddenly, breathing more and more rapidly: "Yes, that’s In this way, you are all right. Satisfied? You should be satisfied?!"
"My words are ignored. I have lost all the dignity of the Torino family in front of All Byrne, I Let the Scarlet Blood Castle sweep the floor, are you happy?! Satisfied?! I..."
The words stopped, and Charlotte was stunned.
The black hair wizard who got up stood in front of her, close at hand, with the pupils facing the pupils, and there was only a millimetre of distance between the tips of their noses.
"No, I'm not satisfied at all, really."
Loren stared at her very seriously.
Not knowing what to do Charlotte was so nervous that he wanted to dodge backwards, but was slammed by the black hair wizard on the right hand; before she could react, the wrist was pierced His Hidden Blade was forcibly pressed on his shoulder.
"Where is Charlotte Torino who used this sword against my neck in the Academy?"
"The one who can speak loudly to the prince The count who dared to counterattack by fair means or foul until there was only one palace left, where did you go?"
"I..."
"My count, you are The lord of the Scarlet Castle, the lord of Torino; they are running wild on your territory, are you still going to indulge these bastards with the title of Knight?" Loren held Charlotte's right hand tightly and placed the Hidden Blade Between the two:
"Give them some color and see and see the wrists of the Torino family; let them know how good you are and how good we are!"
In a trance, The right hand released by the black hair wizard slowly fell, and Charlotte, who noticed that she had lost self-control, suddenly froze; just about to "regain her dignity", Loren had already stood in front of the banquet hall with a wand, and looked back. Smile to yourself:
"It’s too cold at night, go back and get a good night’s sleep...
Don’t worry, there is me for everything."
