Chapter 994
Ten minutes.
For ten minutes, the black hair wizard, who was shocked to the stagnation of thinking, finally regained his senses, and heard the words spoken by Charlotte, who was smiling and seemed quite contented.
She said..."I";
Well, what about the front?
Marriage-am I married or she is married?
The Duke of Byrne got married, so I got married;
If I get married, who do I marry?
Marry "me"...
Then the answer comes out:
I marry "me"...I marry myself;
Um?
It’s not right, it’s right, I have to think again, think...
Loren, who is full of brains and jumps in his mind, took another ten minutes to finally get out of his random thoughts. Walking out, the incredible expression awakened a lot.
"Charlotte, you just said you..."
"I said...I want to marry you." Scarlet Castle Girl count face doesn't change, re Repeat it again.
The quiet study room is like every parchment scroll, every piece of furnishings is responding silently, watching nervously.
It seems that this is not just a two-person room, less than 20 square meters; it is the center of the stage surrounded by lights.
"If you don’t hear clearly, I can repeat it ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times...until you hear it annoying." Her intent, calm voice, it sounds like she is walking towards the battlefield. Knight:
"But I think you shouldn't be'not heard clearly', but'can't believe it', right?"
"Duke Byrne...Loren ·Torino? "
I...
The black hair wizard who opened his mouth and stared round his eyes, but couldn't say a word, couldn't make a sound.
Dalton mentor, Rutter Infinit, Brandon, Asriel...have played against countless enemies, opponents and friends, and experienced countless times of being speechless, or wanting to talk and stop the situation Loren...
This is the first time such a situation, such... embarrassment.
"Charlotte, you...are you confused?" Paused hesitantly, Loren showed a very reluctant and stiff smile: "Do you think my apology is not sincere enough, if not enough? I can actually be more..."
"I'm not angry. On the contrary, I am calm now. The reason is simple...Loren, I can see you clearly."
"You Too arrogant, too believe oneself infallible, too serious about oneself-so what I want you to do must never be discussed; the only choice is not to give you a choice and force you to submit!"
In the decisive voice, Charlotte with scorching eyes pressed on, forcing the black hair wizard step by step to step back: "But you still can't believe it, why?"
"No, there is no why. , I mean..." Loren hurriedly wanted to explain.
"What does it mean?"
Charlotte is still asking.
"It means...is still fighting now, is it appropriate?"
"It's appropriate, how is it inappropriate? Just because the battle is about to start, as a duke, you should inspire all Duchy Morale, arouse everyone's fighting spirit, and make your courtiers and Knights more assured of allegiance to you."
"Tell me, if you want to do this, what else is more suitable than a wedding? "
"That, that..." The black hair wizard who was forced to speak without careful diction was almost about to speak without careful diction: "The Torino family...Yes! What about the Torino family members, can they accept it?"
"You are not my biological brother, what is unacceptable?" Charlotte coldly snorted:
"forgive me to speak bluntly, your grandfather Leonardo Torino and father They are just distant relatives of the Torino family; it’s not very nice to say... your side branch that is almost split up can be considered half a Torino at most."
"Similar situations are not uncommon in the history of Byrne. , Changing to an empire is even more numerous-in order to avoid the dying of royal power, not to mention cousins and collaterals, even between the biological siblings and brothers, it has not never happened."
"But..."
"Nothing but! During the time you are away, I have considered all possible negative effects; the conclusion is that even the worst results are not worth mentioning compared to the rewards!"
Raising her head suddenly, Charlotte interrupted again roughly: "Our marriage will allow the Torino family to avoid future terrifying divisions, and let your career and inheritance have a legal heir. Your followers, the Knights of Byrne, don’t need to consider which Torino to follow..."
"All of these, all of this, will create an unprecedentedly cohesive Byrne, and an unprecedentedly powerful one. Torino!"
"So tell me, what else do you have?" Charlotte was excited, and her shoulders trembled slightly: "What else are you worried about?"
"I...this..." Looking at her almost cannibalistic eyes, the black hair witch almost blurted out: "This kind of thing... must there be a reason or a problem?"
"Of course there is, and there must be!" Charlotte almost roared, and her voice suddenly became sharp:
"To this day, almost all my life is for the revival of the Torino family And live, sacrifice everything I can sacrifice for this goal, give what I can give!"
"Now, this The distance between this goal and me has never been so close, to the point where it seems to be within reach...No! "She shook her head suddenly, her expression more eager:
"Not only that, now I can even surpass this goal and get a deed that even the Knights of the previous generations have not been able to accomplish!" "
"So I will never allow any problems and obstacles to become an obstacle to this goal. No matter what the problem is, it must be solved—I don’t care, even if the Azores will invade tomorrow, the empire will Destruction, I don't care either! "
Looking at Charlotte with blood-red eyes, Loren is absolutely impossible, and doesn’t want to convince her at this time.
Because now even if she talks about breaking the big sky, she is also impossible to change her mind. .
"Charlotte, calm down first, you are too excited now. "Looking at Charlotte, who was eager to eat people, Loren took a deep breath, desperately to soften his expression and tone:
"In this way, I will come back today, not as good as us Go back and rest first, relax your nerves, and wait for a few days..."
"Impossible! "
Unsurprisingly, Charlotte vetoed it coldly: "You have to agree, and now you have all the questions you can think of. "
"Propose it... and then? "
"Fix it! Destroy it! Defeat it-you are the Lord of Byrne and the leader of the Knights, then roar with long spear and speak with sword! "
"Then what if the problem is myself?" Loren squeezed a smile: "I... kill myself?" "
"Then convince yourself, aren't you the best at this? Or I can too! "Charlotte, who was immersed in dreams, was not polite to him at all: "Say, what's the problem with you?" "
I...I said I was still a child, okay?!
Loren didn't dare to say it.
But he desperately needs a reason now, Bring back Charlotte, who has been crushed to death by dreams; let her return to that sensible, calm Red Blood Castle female count.
What reason can be used...especially from her own body. ?
"In fact, you don't need to be so embarrassed, I know. "
Charlotte suddenly lowered her voice, and there was a slight tremor in her words.
"In fact, I listened to you before you came back from Poy. That's it—Salika Jonah, that imageless and slutty grandma with a scimitar; I know you used to fight side by side on the battlefield and trust each other very much, right? "
Huh?
This time Loren was really shocked.
"And the one from the ancient wood forest--it is said to be Li Ya's elven war dancer, Anson bishop told me that the relationship between you two is very close. She once left the forest alone and went to Eboden to meet you... Such emotions should be more than just friendship..."
The calm tone was mixed in Charlotte’s deep breaths time and time again: "And that person many years ago...ah, I think of it, Ariel from the Corona family; she is your second mentor My child, once again helped you again and again, this time the destruction of Eboden, I must have come back with you too? "
"No...Charlotte, I found that you have misunderstood something..."
"I did not misunderstand anything! "
He interrupted him roughly, and the female count regained her gentle tone after a violent meal: "I mean...I can understand your embarrassment, and I can understand it very well. These all have their own characteristics... Compared to the existence of sculpture puppets like me, there is no attraction at all! "
"You are embarrassed because you are afraid that this will hurt me, just as you conceal from me again and again because you are afraid that I am worried; but this time I want to tell you that you don't need to worry about all this. "
Pushing the corners of her mouth tightly, Charlotte's chest heaves sharply: "I don't need you to be responsible for me, I don't need your loyalty-you don't need anything except a name Think about it; if necessary, I can even hide it for you! "
"All the responsibilities and obligations are entrusted to me, and if something goes wrong, I will bear it-I don't even need you to tell me that you love me like the Black Duke did to the Queen of Crazy Dragon! "
"Do you understand?" ! "
She lifts the head abruptly, with more water-colored crystals in her eyes.
Angry, determination, anger, grievance...
In the end How many emotions there are...Loren doesn’t know.
Probably no one in this world can know.
But Loren finally figured out one thing, that’s why... Between the two people and Charlotte, they can’t always understand each other.
For myself, the surname Torino and the title of the duke are probably things like property and real estate—this is his The castle, his country, his territory and power; with all of these, he can continue to do what he wants.
But for Charlotte, it is completely different.
p>Byrne, Torino, these...not her wealth, but her beliefs.
And she herself is like those fanatics in history, tirelessly pursuing the promotion of faith. , Eager to devote to faith, give or even sacrifice.
She doesn’t care about the process, as long as the result, even if the result is more than she can bear.
She is so Desire to sacrifice herself to this named "Torino Byrne", and then get spiritual sublimation.
To put it more simply, she takes these too seriously.
"Byrne, Torino...These are everything to me. I will never let this hope go away when I finally see the rewards after struggling for a lifetime! "
With choked sobs, Charlotte puffed up her arrogant, swan-like neck: "So tell me, what else do you need me to promise you, I will promise it all!" "
"I...I'm mentally prepared, do you understand?" "
The room became quiet.
Charlotte stared at the face of the black hair wizard, restlessly waiting for a reply.
Look at her.
Loren, took a deep breath.
"I understand, I...no, I don't understand. "I shook my head vigorously, staring at a pair of disappointed and painful black hair wizard gritted his teeth:
"I don't understand...what do you think of yourself, what do you think you are-a living person or Sacrifice? "
"My surname is Torino, I will dedicate to this surname and bear all the costs! "Charlotte said coldly: "This is the noble spirit of sacrifice of the Byrne people!" "
"This is not called sacrifice, this is called believe oneself infallible! "Loren, who is also no longer calm, retorted fiercely: "You just think it's OK to do this. As long as you give it yourself, you can count as a dedication, right? ! "
"What's the difference between this and constantly commanding on the battlefield, being a fellow rushing towards the enemy? ! "
"Otherwise, I am a woman, what else can I do?" ! "
"You are a woman, but you can't just be a woman, you have to be Charlotte Torino! "
"I don't understand! "
"Of course you don't understand. How can you, a person who wants to die right away, understand?" ! "
"Then what do you understand? ! "
"I understand that you still have a choice. You have no retreat, let alone being persecuted. No one will persecute you in various ways. It will force you to do this and do that. Escape from a difficult situation again! Clenched his fist, Loren yelled out:
"If this is to let me know this in the past few years, can you understand how envious I will be? I'm almost envious now! "
"I walked this way for freedom and choice, but I didn’t have a choice. I was forced to walk again and again-you can understand that one has to work hard to win one. A person with a little'degree of freedom' can see the mood of another person who has so many choices but throws them away for nothing? ! "
Charlotte was stunned, and looked at the black hair wizard in front of him in amazement.
Maybe because there is no way out, maybe because he has completely torn his face. , Loren, who no longer falsified, also became hysterical:
"First of all, figure out one thing—Charlotte, you are my friend, so I am not pitying you, but anger when I say this. ——Your performance today is simply lost self-control. I really don’t believe that you are the same person as you were three years ago! "
"You are the female count of the Scarlet Blood Castle, the leader of the Torino family, the blood relative of the Black Duke, and you are Charlotte Torino! You...not me, you have the right to choose! "
"So say it out loud, who is the one you really love and not the one who wants you to sacrifice yourself?" ! "
"You————! ! ! ! "
