Chapter 670
Husband?
Although she was aware of the moment Angot Count spoke, Charlotte trembled when Ayton really said it.
"You... adults, do you think so?"
The frosty Charlotte bite her lower lip so she won’t lose herself. Self-control, the shocked pupils gradually became ice cold like frost, sweeping across the faces of every Lord Knight one by one.
There was a strange silence in the hall.
No one of the counts sitting around the round table objected, surprised, or even made a sound.
"This is what it should be!"
Angert counts coldly snorted, breaking this moment of silence, looking towards Charlotte with no concealment: "I want To restore Byrne to prosperity, the first step is to grow the Torino family and continue the bloodline of King Knight!"
"Only when the inheritance of the Torino family is stable enough, Byrne can have enough confidence and the northern sky palace. The dwarves of the south and the bastards of the Big Green Sea are challenging! If there is an heir as soon as possible, then even more..."
"Master Guy Angot——!"
Sound if Thunder’s Fury Fort count forcibly interrupted the old man, his sharp eyes stared at him without flinching: "You...too much!"
"Bang—— !"
Angert Count, who was gagged in his mouth, suddenly turned his head and glared, and the right hand with the wristband directly smashed a hole on the table.
Under the tense gazes of the Lord Knights, the two looked at each other for ten seconds, and the old man coldly snorted sat back on his seat.
"Eckert Uncle..."
The flustered Charlotte even lost self-control, and looked towards the Castle of Fury count on the side in a low voice: "Could it be that , In fact, you don’t think I am qualified to go..."
"No, not what you think." Sitting on the bottom left of the female count's Fury Castle, count looked at her gently, with a calm voice. He is completely different from just now:
"Your performance today has greatly exceeded all of our expectations. Even Angote count can be suppressed by you. No one in the room pays any money. I will doubt your wrist."
"hmph——!" The old man who heard this turned his head directly.
sighed, Eckert count right hand raised the letter of appeal: "If there is no such thing, we would not make this request, at least we would not use this method of persecution; but The current situation is... none of us have a choice."
The female count bit her lower lip, her face looked frosty.
"If you are negotiating with the empire, we all believe that even your wrists will be able to win the dignity for Byrne and the Torino family; but war...that is another matter."
"Even if this war can be delayed for another three to five years, after your position in the Sky Palace and Byrne is gradually stabilized, everything is not impossible to discuss, but...as I just said, now we No choice."
"To send troops to the Great Green Sea to help Boy Duchy, there can be no second leader besides Duke Byrne; none of you here are qualified to do so, let alone Yes." Eckert count said solemnly: "So you must have a husband, let him be your right-hand man, and hold the flag for the Torino family!"
When Eckert count said solemnly, the whole The atmosphere of the hall has become a lot more solemn.
The Lord Knights at the round table remained silent, but they all looked at the female count under the Torino coat of arms with the same eyes.
"In other words, in the eyes of the adults, as the bloodline of the Torino family, the bloodline of the Red Blood Castle count, I am not qualified to command the Knights of Byrne, and lead the expedition like the ancestors of the past. Is it?"
Charlotte’s sword eyebrows were erected, and the heavy atmosphere made her regain her original majesty: "That’s why you said...I need a husband?!"
"If You have to ask so directly...Yes."
It was Eckert Count who spoke, staring at Charlotte solemnly: "Yes, you are the offspring of King Knight, but you There is no experience of fighting with the enemy, let alone on the battlefield!"
"It may be your strength to be in the palace; but I said... the battlefield is another matter! Let’s A woman who has never fought a war leads the Knight of Byrne. We can't afford it. Byrne and Torino can't afford this risk even more!"
"Byrne may not have such a precedent, but Sackland But there is a queen who once saved the entire empire and won the eighth war of monster invasion!" Charlotte still refused to give up, gritted her teeth and retorted.
"Since you know the war, then you should remember who helped the great'Crazy Dragon Queen' clean up the mess, and was shamelessly slandered as a betrayer after death!"
Angert Count interrupted her roughly, and the roar sounded like thunder in the female count's ears: "Isn't this lesson profound enough? Do you want the tragedy of the Black Duke to be staged again?!"
Charlotte trembled all over, the deafening sound and the pressure of the old man made her complexion pale.
"Charlotte Torino, we are not your enemies, and we are also thinking about Torino." Eckert count said in awe, raising his hand to stop the old man who wanted to continue, watching the woman Count’s eyes are very sincere:
"Don’t be angry with us, and don’t let us have no choice, okay?"
Looking at a pair of eyes, Charlotte frowned. , The teeth clenched.
Eckert count is right, he cannot leave them without choice.
And my choice is already obvious-I have chosen to compromise in front of the Vault of Heaven. If you ignore Boye’s request for help, the whole Byrne will be completely disappointed in the Torino family. All previous efforts All will be in vain;
And if you want to send troops, you must have a husband... This is the round table council, the exchange terms of the twelve Knight lords.
Relying on Loren Torino's meticulous planning and the sudden resolution of Angert count, they lost their reason to threaten themselves; and now, Boe's letter of help gave them a second chance.
Because... the Knights of Byrne won't convince a woman to lead the army.
Because... I am a woman.
What an impeccable reason.
Fort of Storms, Fortress of Rocks, Fortress of Fury...These counts around Bayern may be really worried, or unruly, or wild ambition. They all have a final pole. the goal of.
That is to clamp... and even control the Torino family.
For three generations, the various territories of Byrne that lost the duke's jurisdiction are in a semi-independent state; they...are no longer the same.
Even if Loren hadn't told her directly, the female count herself was vaguely aware-among the twelve lords, some were secretly planning something.
The respected Tris Act, the irritable Guy Anget, the Ayton Glenwell who wants to propose to him...and all the counts who are worried about the future, They are all chess pieces used by this person.
Charlotte felt cold.
What to do...what do you have to do to make them lose their reason to threaten them, and to make a bastard who is hiding among these people dumbfounded and speechless?
"...This is not a meeting, this is a war, a fight, a duel..."
Charlotte was slightly trembled, as if standing in front of another in a trance. The shadow of a person; the heartbeat speeds up, and the breathing becomes more and more rapid.
"...you have to do your best, by fair means or foul, even betray someone you trust at a critical moment..."
Her trembling hands rested on her On the table, my fingers crossed, so hard that my joints turned white.
"...Of course, the price will be heavy..."
Pushing the corners of her mouth tightly, the female count took a deep breath and slowly raised her head.
"...But if necessary and suitable, then don't hesitate..."
Pulling up her chest, Charlotte sat up straight, but the look on her solemn face suddenly changed It was so peaceful, and even a smile appeared.
"Masters, thank you for your generous speeches and advice. You let me see my shortcomings."
Charlotte is very calm and soft. The words made everyone present clearly and audible: "For this, I want to thank you, the Torino family and the whole Byrne want to thank you."
"But..." She changed her words:
"I am not going to accept your suggestions; on the contrary, I want to make another suggestion to you, a suggestion that can meet all your requirements!"
At this moment, be present The counts looked at each other in blank dismay, with different expressions.
