Chapter 993
Passing through the gate of the Scarlet Blood Fort Palace, the gravel road under your feet is the same as the mood of the black hair wizard, rugged and ups and downs.
Especially when you are still being stared at with strange eyes.
From the moment they walked into the palace, all the guards, knights, attendants, maids, clerks... everyone was either secretly or staring at him, and they were all the same. Indescribable expression.
Of course, similar situations have happened in the past, but at that time it was "this guy is so pitiful";
But now their expressions are "this day has finally come." ;
As for how to understand it, it is really a story...
The black hair wizard with a twitching mouth stopped outside the door of Charlotte’s room, panicked. Anxiously thinking about how to explain to her this time-whether to apologize frankly and admit the mistake as soon as he came up; or think of a way to lie, and temporarily fool the past.
Unfortunately, before he made up his mind, the door opened by himself.
"Crack"
There was a gentle turning of the door shaft , The Duchy director holding a pile of scrolls-Charles Glenwell-bowed his head and walked out of the room until he got down the steps to see the silhouette in front of him.
"You...Luo, Lord Duke?"
Charles raised his head suddenly, with surprise on his face: "Why did you... come back so soon?"
Loren's expression became even more embarrassing when he heard the other person say so.
Under the awkward atmosphere, of course, if you want to open up the situation, you can only change the topic.
"Xia...well, the Scarlet Blood Castle female count is...is she in there?"
With a somewhat flattering look, Loren asked tentatively.
"Yes, of course!" Charles nodded, who came back to his senses, replied: "During the time you left, count has been dealing with official duties in the study, or meeting petitions in the round table hall Or, there is very little time to go back to the room and rest."
He said that, Loren was even more embarrassed, and didn't know how to continue the conversation.
The two people who looked at each other were silent for one minute.
"Why...you go in and chat with count?"
After holding back for a long time, Charles still said this sentence, and at the same time, he looked at it with the expression of "a word is hard to say" With the black hair wizard: "Anyway...I'm here..."
Yes, I'm here...Can I still run?
Where do you go?
"...Okay."
Loren smiled very happily, not nervous at all.
The Duchy manager who is no longer talking about let the door open. When he left, he couldn't help but glanced secretly, looking at the black hair wizard with a resolute expression, and walked into Xia like on the battlefield. The door to Lot's room.
The first thing that caught Loren's sight was the mountain of parchment scrolls in the room.
As the Duchy manager, Charles did not deceive or exaggerate any facts to Loren. The number of documents alone is sufficient to prove this.
Although Byrne Duchy has regained unity, and Loren has been doing everything he can to perfect the centralization since he became the Duke, after the concentration of power, those who can truly exercise power are impossible to change out of thin air.
Reality is not a game. A competent and loyal courtier can be transformed with a few clicks of the mouse.
The empire has a subordinate house and a cabinet that handles administrative affairs, while Byrne has only one round-table council. The direct consequence is that the things he has to deal with as the duke have grown exponentially-and in his long-term During the absence, all was crushed on Charlotte alone.
No matter how big or small, everything needs to be dealt with.
One can imagine...what kind of burden she is carrying.
In the rustle of writing, the silhouette behind the desk sits quietly at the table, calmly and meticulously reviewing each parchment scroll, and the full tea cups on hand are long gone.
"Loren, are you back?"
The Scarlet Blood Castle female count who inadvertently raised her head, with a surprised expression on her face, with a trace of serenity between her eyebrows: "Wait for me Now, today's is about to be finished."
The black hair wizard who didn't dare to speak was just laughed reluctantly.
She is really not angry at all.
But the more this happens, the more nervous Loren becomes.
The quiet time lasted for an entire hour, and Loren stood in front of the door for an entire hour, silently watching Charlotte finish processing the "just ready" document.
Meticulous, even the speed of the quill pen seems to be slowed down.
Yes, she must be deliberate.
But if this can calm her down, it will be Loren himself who is relieved.
After another half an hour, Charlotte, who finally put down the quill, took a cup of tea and sipped her mouth, only to find that it was cold. The black hair wizard who reacted quickly took the wine bottle in the study from the side, poured a full glass and handed it to her.
"When I received the news, Charles told me that the team had just arrived at Fort Fury."
Taking the glass with a chuckle, Charlotte's mouth flickered with a gentle smile. Her eyes seem to be a vast clear spring: "Didn't expect, you'll be outside the door in the blink of an eye."
"Um...Yes, it's not a bit...I can't wait, so... …"
The nervous Loren smiled stiffly, with a kind of flattery on his face.
Charlotte, who turned around holding a tea cup, looked at him with a smile and listened quietly.
But when she is like this, Loren doesn't know what to say.
Knight in the castle, Charles, a sudden celebration...and, um, Charlotte in front of you.
Everyone today seems to be a little abnormal.
Loren, who noticed a hint of danger, suddenly became alert.
"Sorry, I was wrong this time!"
Under Charlotte's somewhat surprised comment, Loren had no warning, and blunt apologized.
"Are you...wrong?"
The Scarlet Blood Castle female count sitting at the table tilted her head in confusion.
"Yes, I shouldn't have promised Brandon without saying hello to you to go to Jufeng Mountain and negotiate with Giant Dragon Race, uh, no no no..." The black hair wizard shook his head repeatedly, with a sincere expression. How sincere:
"Should be more forward, I shouldn’t have agreed to host the Battle of Eboden without telling you the whole story, and I didn’t even want to let Connold write to you first. Get up and give a notification; and..."
"And?"
Charlotte stared wide-eyed, flickering.
"Yes, there is! And there is..." Loren's voice suddenly fell a lot, cautiously looking at Charlotte's expression, and his heart was particularly disturbed: "The reason for not telling you is that ...Well, I'm afraid you won't agree..."
But the result was far beyond his expectations.
Charlotte is not only lifeless, but indifferently smiled, as if it were just trivial things.
"So, I mean...I mean the reason I have to come back early is because, um...mainly to admit the mistakes, and then confess that these all are my own faults..."
"No, these are my faults."
With a calm and elegant smile, Charlotte gently interrupted the black hair wizard who was eager to admit his mistake.
The startled Loren wanted to continue speaking, but after seeing her calm but irrefutable eyes, he stopped talking.
"You know...every time before you made your own claim, I would be very angry, thinking that you betrayed the tacit agreement between the two of us, or violated the promise you promised..."
p>Charlotte spoke slowly and couldn't help laughing at herself: "Every time I am flustered and exasperated, demeanorless, and even irrational-well, I can't wait for a sword to kill you."
Loren, who doesn't know what to say, can only laugh with him.
"But now I have realized that I am no longer the me I used to be." She changed her conversation and gently put down her wine glass: "Ain Rand, he woke me up with some sincere words of affection. ."
Ayin?
black hair wizard startled.
"Yes, it's your best friend, Ain Rand." Slowly got up, Charlotte Calm walked towards Loren, showing grace with a smile: "Use your own actions to let me Know where you are wrong."
"Our Duke Loren Torino is a person with strong initiative-before he makes a decision, he will carefully balance and judge the pros and cons; but he Once a decision is made and I want to discuss with you..."
"It is not really to discuss with you, but to tell you his decision; whether he accepts it or not, he will Don't listen to your suggestions anymore."
Loren smiled awkwardly, watching her getting closer and closer to her with a stiff expression.
"Similarly, people with strong subjective initiative are generally extremely self-confident; unless necessary, they never take the initiative to ask for help from others."
Charlotte, speaking softly, But his eyes were extremely strong: "As a friend of him, the Duke of Byrne, we must understand our position in his heart; forever, we can never be higher than him and become a existence that can be needed by him."
"Charlotte, you seem to have misunderstood something; I have never..." Loren interrupted quickly.
But the female count of the Scarlet Blood Castle ignored it at all.
"So, we can't expect him to take the initiative to speak, or hope that he will change, we must adapt."
Charlotte, who stood up straight, finally stood in black In front of the hair wizard, lifts the head and stared at him: "If you want to help him and become the one who fights with him on shoulders... you must be active and not passive."
"Similarly, If you want to keep up with him, you have to run faster than him!"
Loren was speechless.
All the explanations and lies are blocked in her throat.
"So...this time, whether it was the Battle of Eboden or the trip to Jufeng Mountain, you did nothing wrong-the former allowed Byrne to gain considerable prestige in the empire, while the latter encouraged Byrne thirteen leads countless Knight’s ambitions."
Looking at the black hair wizard who couldn’t speak, Charlotte continued with a chuckle: "Since the tenth generation, Byrne has never been up and down. Unite as one and be loyal to one person like today."
"For nearly a hundred years, they finally found a duke worthy of their trust and following, a hero who can bring them glory and greatness—you The decision to make the whole Byrne united."
"That’s why I said that you are not wrong; it is me that I don’t know enough about you in the past, and I regard your compromise as ours. The tacit understanding of each other."
black hair wizard startled.
"Any questions?"
Inquiring softly, Charlotte, still looking motionless, stood in front of him, looking directly at him.
"Uh...Yes, there is one more!"
I tried my best to restrain the tension, Loren opened the mouth and said: "About...um, wedding..."
"Ah, you mean the wedding...yes, I prepared it."
Slightly smiled, Charlotte at a moderate pace opened the mouth and said: "Just right, take advantage With the news of your victory in Eboden, as easy as blowing off dust, I gathered all the noble Knights of the thirteen collars into the Scarlet Blood Castle.
"As I just said That way-as your friends, we can't wait for you to beg us, but take the initiative, get ahead of you, and do all the things that should be done. "
black hair wizard stared wide-eyed.
"Well, that's so...well, you mean this wedding..."
"Of course It's yours—more precisely, the wedding of the Duke of Byrne. "Charlotte, who could no longer hold back her inner joy, showed a very happy smile:
"I thought about it for a long time. If you make full use of your brilliant victory at this time; after thinking about it, there should be no comparison. A wedding is more suitable. "
"As you know, the Byrne people love heroes and prefer fun; holding your wedding with a glorious victory will not only make them feel proud, but also consolidate This support has established a very stable rule, allowing the Knights to follow you more confidently. "
Charlotte gets more and more excited: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We can take advantage of this wedding to pass many laws that were difficult to pass in the past and recast the Torino family's rule. , Even better! "
"For example, the'land seizure plan' that you have always wanted to implement, the'recruitment standing army plan', and the'resident round table council plan'-the Byrnians worship heroes and are keen on heroes; so at least in Right now, no one dares to violate your will and ideas. There is no better time than now! "
"With one opportunity, we can truly turn Byrne into the Torino family's Byrne; revival is no longer a problem for us to consider, but to push the Torino family to the generations that have never been imagined Brilliance! "
"Establish your authority and push your prestige to the highest point, so that the whole of Byrne can become your help in the next elven war. "
"Even surpass Desalion Imperial Family in one fell swoop and become the hero who saves the empire-for your descendants, to win the foundation of the empire... it is not impossible! "
Looking at Charlotte, who was ecstatic, even her eyes glowing, the black hair wizard couldn’t even insert a word except for a dry smile, and could only wait silently for her to finish. .
"...So, in order to take our victory further, you arranged a wedding for me? "Loren doesn't know what expression to use, so he can only ask dryly.
"Yes, this is the best way I can think of. "Female count slightly nodded: "I'm sorry I didn't notify you in advance, but I did it for your sake-just as you didn't tell me that you went to Jufeng Mountain, it was for my sake. "
"Oh. At the corner of his twitched mouth, Loren smiled stiffly: "But... you also know that there are two talents for a wedding, and one cannot hold a wedding. "
"That's right. "Charlotte is nodded.
"So... you also arranged another person? "
"That's right. "
"Female...I mean, is it a lady?" "
"That's right. "
"...who? "
"Me. "
