Chapter 455 (1/2)
After the dark haired wizard left, the old housekeeper silently closed the door of the side hall.
Next to the empty dry curtains, a figure with a walking stick suddenly appeared, which gradually condensed like drops of water; The young incumbent Earl of chann looked pale and sat in the position of the newly black haired wizard, looking tired.
”You say, did he just find me?”
”His last sentence deliberately raised his voice, maybe it meant something.” the old housekeeper replied faintly, went to the wine rack by the fireplace, poured a full glass of vanilla wine, and quietly put it in count chann's hand:
”Lord Loren is a famous caster of eboden. His highness Brandon chose him not only because of his excellent swordsmanship.”
What a servant has to do is answer questions, not judge for his master.
”I'm afraid this kind of gadget is the same as none for a caster of his level.” he threw his walking stick to the old housekeeper, and the young count chann picked up his glass tired:
”Deliberately not stabbing is also for the face of both sides?”
”This is good for both sides. Young man, you have just inherited the title. Once it is learned that you have plotted with your highness Brandon's confidants, the consequences will be very serious.”
The old housekeeper opened his mouth in a deep voice and silently reminded his master: ”no matter what the abrupt Lord Loren Turin wants to do, you can't be involved by him - there are many eyes looking at you inside and outside the family.”
Gazing at the mellow wine in the glass, count chann's face flashed a fierce color, and his hands holding the glass trembled slightly.
Siscott's death has dealt an unprecedented blow to the chann family, not only losing the unity of the family, but also alienating the old-fashioned aristocrats around the chann family.
Count chann felt unparalleled disgust when he recalled their flattering smile when they came to comfort and the evil hidden under that face.
The followers who were loyal to the family turned into bloodthirsty beasts ready to pounce in the blink of an eye!
”... don't the Chans want it...”
At the moment when Loren Turin said that, the young count chann almost exposed himself!
He thought of his grandfather who fell in a pool of blood in the banquet hall of the wizard College
I think of myself with blood on my face at that time
I remembered that none of the respectful guests who revered themselves and the chann family when my grandfather fell offered a helping hand to my dying grandfather
Those frightened faces, in retrospect, seem to be incomparable ridicule, irony and Schadenfreude, as if they have been waiting for a day for a long time!
”Let those in charge come back and tell them that the plan has been cancelled,” murmured count chann. ”As for Lord Loren Turin - whatever he wants to do, let him go.”
”The Chans won't help him, but they don't have to stop him. Just wait and see what happens.”
”Young master, master lusack kovo may really be innocent, but many people are looking forward to his death.” the old housekeeper's face changed:
”And whether you can avenge master siscott... Is also related to your position in the family, but you can't at this time...”
Count chann, who raised his hand to stop the old housekeeper, took a deep breath, suddenly looked up and drank it!
Wine goes deep into the throat, and the hot breath penetrates into the inner organs.
”I know... Although I didn't react when my grandfather died, I'm completely clear now... Those people want to use the hand of the chann family to operate.”
The young count looked up, and on the wall of the side hall hung a portrait of the former count of chann, his grandfather siscott chann.
Usually painters will deliberately beautify their employers and make them look like saints in the Holy Cross Church, compassionate, benevolent and respected... No one doesn't like to see such ”themselves” or ancestors.
But siscott chann was an exception. He gave the painter twice the price. In the oil painting, he looked arrogant and his chin was high; Fierce eyes, raised beard and angry eyebrows
Like a tyrant.
Strong as the chann family, there is no need to pretend to maintain power; But only count chann, who can make people fear and fear, is a good count chann.
Such an old man who frightened and awed everyone, his grandfather... Came to such an end.
Count chann's eyes became more and more fierce, and his teeth clenched: ”the dignified former minister, the leader of the dignified chann family, the leader of the aristocratic faction...”
”They treat them as chess pieces that can swing at will!”
