Chapter 663
When the first rays of sunlight pierced the horizon at dawn, Charlotte Torino, alone, had already arrived outside the palace hall.
Like every time she woke up in the past few years, the young girl at the time of Fanghua took a deep breath with her hands pressed in front of her, erected her high neck and chest, and pressed the corners of her mouth tightly.
Turning around, her pupils flared in anger with the sword eyebrows erected, just like a thousand red blooming; from Charlotte Torino to the count of the Scarlet Blood Castle, the lord of Torino.
Today is today.
Round-table council-an ancient system that has been inherited for hundreds of years on the land of Byrne since the beginning of the Knight King era; besides establishing Byrne's unity, it has also created an extremely powerful Country.
In the era of the Black Duke, Byrne once prospered, and even Peak; Boye was an ally of Byrne, the dwarves and the empire signed a treaty under Byrne’s matchmaking, and the Centaur was forced to retreat to the Great In the east of the Green Sea, the giant monsters of Arles are almost extinct;
From the ninth to the tenth generation, the empire has entrusted almost all of the eastern and southern affairs to Byrne; in the Vault of Heaven and Scarlet Blood Fort, the Black Duke Roland even has the title of "Vice Emperor".
When the Queen of the Dragon, Charlotte I, came to the throne, even the Sacklanders were convinced that Sir Empress would marry the "Black Duke" and the two surnames Torino and Desalion would be used This form merges the two into one.
That year was also Torino's last swan song;
And today, it will be the beginning of Torino's revival.
The female count lifts the head silently, and the twin pupils of Canruo Xingchen glanced back. The closed palace gate is still brand new, with no trace of time left.
For a moment, she seemed to be able to see illusory shadows. Those who had sat in the chairmanship of Torino were peering through the door from behind, talking about themselves.
What are they talking about, how do they see themselves...
"It’s so early to get up."
The sudden voice, let Charlotte was taken aback; when she turned her head in a panic, she saw the silhouette of the person who came.
"Did you just wake up, or..." The black hair wizard, who was walking with his hands on his back, evoked an arc and deliberately dragged a long tone:
"Simply didn't sleep? "
The female count glanced at Loren and then turned back, preferring to look at the distant scenery rather than looking at him.
"Charles told me that the last Lord Knight last night, the Anget family of Rock Castle has arrived." Slightly smiled, Loren stood beside her quietly: "So... …"
"You don’t need to remind me, I know." Coldly snorted, Charlotte raised her head slightly: "It’s today."
Looking at no tension, waves Not surprised Charlotte; the black hair wizard kept silent, and hid the envelope sent by Jr. Yod in his sleeve with his hands behind him.
"Do you have any news from the imperial mission?" the female count asked casually.
Loren shrugged: "Everything is business as usual. The original mission will arrive at the Scarlet Blood Castle the day before yesterday. At that time, the will of the Sky Vault will be announced — roughly the content of appeasement and compensation. I passed the bottom in advance."
"According to the agreement we reached, he will try his best to delay the mission for a few days to buy time for us...but it is seven days at most."
" Seven days... before today is deducted, there are four days left." Charlotte's eyes flickered: "This means that we only have four days."
black hair wizard slightly nodded.
If the Round Table Council fails to elect a new duke within four days, Byrne will accept the mediation of the Vault of Heaven and the Empire.
To raise the duke together, you will become the duke "appointed" by the empire!
The meaning can be imagined.
"Are you ready, today is the first day." The black hair wizard suddenly asked: "It will also be your first battle...Your performance will determine their opinion of you. "
Charlotte frowned slightly and glanced at Loren aside in surprise.
"For them, you are the Torino family, the Scarlet Blood Castle; how much awe you can make them respect you, and how much awe they can have towards the Scarlet Blood Castle and Torino." Loren sighed suddenly. :
"Charlotte...what you want to represent is not just yourself."
"What happened to you...today?"
Female count Looking back in amazement, he stared at the face of the black hair wizard very confused: "How come you suddenly become so sentimental?"
"Uh, is there any?"
"Yes, and very strange , Like an old fogey in old age." Charlotte looked at him contemptuously, with disapproval in his tone: "Long, long-winded, mother-in-law...Are you stimulated by someone's words?"
Loren suddenly became speechless.
Charlotte glanced at him again, with a very indifferent tone: "If it's because of Ayton Grenwell... Although rest assured, I won't accept his marriage proposal. "
"Charles told me, you have met him, right?"
The voice fell, and the black hair wizard suddenly looked sideways, looking towards the person beside him in disbelief. Female count.
"Why, strange?" Charlotte coldly snorted: "I know what this guy is playing attention... Indeed, in order to revive the Torino family, I will by fair means or foul, but not yet As for making Torino a vassal of Glenwell!"
"Besides, if I really do this, wouldn't someone be able to explain to his master?"
>Without even looking at him, Charlotte's mouth evokes a smug, jokingly opened the mouth and said: "Am I right, Brandon's wizard consultant?"
But when she looked sideways, the black hair wizard didn't have the slightest embarrassment or smile on her face, and her dark pupils stared at her very solemnly.
"You...how, how..."
"It's not Ayton Glenwell." Loren interrupted her in a deep voice: "It's not him."
paused, black hair wizard sighed: "Our original plan was to center everything on you. If the plan goes well, you will become the Duke of Byrne. This is what we said at the beginning."
"But because of...someone, I suddenly realized that I might have made a very serious mistake; or inertial thinking, I always feel that others should be the same as me, but...not so."
"What do you mean?"
"It means, what exactly do you really want?" Loren stared into Charlotte's eyes: "In other words...becoming the Duke of Byrne, this is true Is it what you want?"
"If it is really just to save the glory of the Torino family and regain the title of Duke of Byrne... To be honest, there are ways to be honest, you don’t have to stick to this one, you don’t even need to stick to this Time opportunity!"
"In a sense, it may be the opposite." Loren's expression is calm, but his tone is very serious: "You are also anxious to get something, the more difficult it is to get; and what you get, It may be completely different from what you think!"
"Even if everything goes well, the final result is still the same, or even worse-the sky palace will continue to put pressure on you, and the restlessness within Byrne Still can’t get calm;"
"Now this kind of suffering day will be repeated day after day, until one day you completely collapse...Is this really what you want?"
p>
Charlotte dumbfounded; five seconds later, she woke up from her consternation:
"But if so, our plan, your plan..."
"Forget it, just treat it as it doesn't exist." Faced with Charlotte's incredible eyes, the black hair wizard was surprisingly calm at the moment: "Then tell me, what do you really want?"
What I really want...
"Let the Torino family, which fell in the hands of Roland Torino, be revived..." Charlotte murmured more and more. The more determined, the sharper gaze contains some burning power, just like the essence:
"This is what I want!"
"Then do it, let These people have seen how we are, and see how powerful you are!" This time, Loren pressed Charlotte’s shoulders and raised his mouth: "This is not a meeting, this is war. It's a fight, it's a duel! You have to do your best, by fair means or foul, or even betray someone you trust at a critical moment-of course, the price will be heavy; but If necessary and appropriate, then don't hesitate! "
Charlotte raised her head slightly and stared at the black hair wizard with extremely complicated eyes.
With her hands on her back, the smiling black hair wizard pinched the envelope in her sleeve.
The sun rises from the horizon.
Bathed in the golden sunlight, the closed door slowly opens.
