Chapter 659
Ayton Grenwell deliberately lowered his voice. Only Loren could hear his words. Lu Sien still stood at the back with a blank face and looked around vigilantly.
The black hair wizard was surprised at first, then quickly calmed down, his eyes narrowed into a slit:
"What do you mean?"
Should Charlotte be Lord Byrne... is he tempting?
"Don’t get me wrong, Sir Loren Torino, this is not hypocritical rhetoric or temptation." Stormcaster count’s smile seemed to melt the snow and ice, softly opened the mouth and said in Loren’s ear:
"Charlotte is like my own younger sister to me, so I sometimes can't help but think about this question; if she is really going to be the Duke of Byrne, it is really out of trust and bloodline Connected recognition..."
"Or is it a dirty political compromise that made her a victim of everyone's interests?"
Loren remained silent, but frowned.
He is a little uncertain; the other person’s expression doesn’t seem to be lying, but it’s not easy to be sure whether he’s really tentative.
"So... are you not going to help Charlotte, or you are going to become the Duke of Byrne?"
"No, on the contrary; once anyone from the Torino family Becoming the Duke of Byrne is a devastating blow to All Byrne-this means that Byrne will be divided, or that the empire will have the opportunity to participate in Byrne's internal affairs."
Ayton’s smile is soft, and his beautiful eyes are shining brightly: "So at this point, I am definitely the one who fully supports the Scarlet Blood Castle-Storm Castle can’t, and the twelve Knight Lords can’t, only Torino. The family has this qualification."
But... the black hair wizard secretly thought in my heart.
"But, do you really want Charlotte to carry such a heavy burden?" Ayton sighed in a low voice, the luster in his pupils is very complicated: "You know... a long time ago, I used to talk to You Leigh Wiltz had a fate."
Loren glanced sharply, his eyes alert.
What did he want to say...
"At that time, I had not inherited the title of father, but Yuli Wirtz was already a duke...he was only ten years old. So small, the crown is bigger than his head, and the cloak almost wraps him in it, like a spider web that tightly binds his body."
"But when I saw When he was, that indifferent face, those eyes with no emotion, so petite but desperately sitting upright silhouette... I did see a real duke who could make people kneel before him willingly. "
"At the age of a weak crown, she has to carry a heavy burden that ordinary people can't imagine, and it is inevitable that people will be sorrowful; and Charlotte, if she is to become the Duke of Byrne, the burden will only be more than that. Wiertz is thousands of times more!"
Storm Castle count slightly paused: "Ulrich Wiertz, he is just a stranger who admires and regrets to me, but Charlotte... My blood relatives."
"I’m very selfish, but I don’t care if this kind of thing happens to others, but I can’t accept that this kind of thing will happen to my own blood relatives!"
>With a sigh, Ayton put his right hand on the shoulder of the black hair wizard:
"I can’t help but...watching her, like Yuli Wirtz, dressed in hypocrisy Indifferent skin, strong in death and loneliness."
"Even if there is a price to pay, I have to protect her."
Loren looked sideways, he finally understood this. What does the Fortress count want to say.
Looking back looking towards the gray pupil behind him, Lu Sien didn't seem to notice the conversation between the two; of course, it was also possible that he deliberately pretended not to hear and remained silent.
"Marriage." The black hair wizard lifts the head, looking sideways at Ayton Grenwell: "You want to marry the Torino family and become Charlotte's husband."
p>"This is the only way I can think of, to solve all the problems." Fort Storm Count admitted unabashedly, and said softly:
"Torino is in the north, Glenville In the south, the descendants of King Knight will re-emerge after the Black Duke. No one of the Lords of Byrne will have the power to question Charlotte, and I can justly protect her."
"If If that’s the case, then why do you have to talk to me about this?"
Loren face doesn't change, and asked: "My last name is Torino; for the Scarlet Blood Castle, I am even half an outsider. ."
"There are many reasons, partly because of Charles."
Ayton sighed helplessly again: "Because of this younger brother, although I have done my best to show her kindness. , But still can’t make Charlotte really trust me...So, another reliable enough person must help."
black hair wizard eyebrows raised: "How do you know that I am reliable?"
p>Looking at Loren, Ayton suddenly showed a mysterious smile:
"Because of Ruben Fried, because of the Corona family, Lussac Covo, Imperial Family Wizard Academy..." His voice was very slow, and he deliberately said these names very clearly:
"Because Brandon Desalion...does it need more reasons?"
"Have you investigated me?"
"I always have to know what kind of person my potential ally is?" Ayton was slightly nodded, and said meaningfully opened the mouth and said: "More important The thing is, I also have to understand what my ally needs."
"So please rest assured, Byrne is a loyal ally of His Royal Highness Brandon Desalion... Gaspar What Wien did was enough to dispel all Byrne nobles’ thoughts of His Royal Highness Connold."
"Even if it’s just to prevent Prince Sackland from taking office, we will fully support Brandon. Your Highness."
The black hair wizard didn't say a word, and his unwavering eyes met Ayton's eyes.
The quarrel can still be heard in the hall behind the wall, and outside the corridor is a field of Birds, Speech, Flowers, Fragrances, and the midsummer sun stops within easy reach, and the silhouettes of the two are shrouded in shadows. .
"cough cough cough..."
There was an abrupt cough behind them, and Loren and Ayton, who turned their heads almost at the same time, saw Lucian winking continuously. The hand is behind your back, and the left hand holding your mouth is desperately pointing to the back.
Loren immediately understood; Ayton also let go of his shoulders, and with his hands on his back, he looked at the murals on the wall with interest, as if there was something new on the ancient One over these centuries. thing.
Sure enough... less than half a minute later, a rush of footsteps came from a distance.
It's really fast.
The anxious footsteps reverberated in the corridor, and I could even hear the master’s use of many "concealed" ways to express his dissatisfaction at the moment, and has several points of irritation.
"Fort Storm count, Lord Ayton Glenwell, why are you here?" Charles's face turned dark, and even so, he did not forget the etiquette, and politely stopped ten steps away:
"I remember count told you that you should leave now and return to your room at the same time?"
Ayton reluctantly shrugged the black hair wizard, and then he was equally meticulous. Nodding to his younger brother: "Steward of the Scarlet Blood, Lord Charles Glenwell, I remember that Charlotte Count only said the first half of the sentence. You should have understood the second half of the sentence by yourself?"
"This is not where you should be." Charles is still reluctant, his expression changing.
"I am a guest here." Smiling Ayton did not back down: "As a host, shouldn't you know how to treat guests."
"The premise is that the guests are worthy of respect , Rather than a bad-hearted guest."
"Sorry, are you suggesting someone... This kind of remark shouldn't be from a nobleman."
"That I can only ask you to get used to it as soon as possible... Besides, I didn’t mean anyone, I was just talking about you."...
...for ten minutes, there is still no sign of the end; Loren and Lu Sien stood aside and looked at each other in blank dismay, watching the two Glenwell frigid irony and scorching satire with each other in the air, completely stunned.
"Lu Sien, what..." Seeing that the two people didn't mean to stop, Loren tentatively asked the gray-eyed boy: "Did you and your big brother be like this back then? "
"Ulrich Wiltz? Of course not." The gray pupil blinked and opened the mouth and said in a low voice: "We are from Eleman, so we are not so impolite."
"Then you guys..."
"We all solve problems by fighting." Lu Sien's face as it should be by rights: "What you win is It’s reasonable. If you lose, you can only accept your fate."
"...Do you agree with your big brother?"
"My big brother? Who cares whether he agrees or disagrees. Anyway, I win every time. Everyone is me."
"..."Loren Torino.
