Chapter 572 (1/2)
In the midnight red blood castle, the dome is a bright star, and the courtyard is shrouded in a faint cold fog; The mist as thin as gauze will be divided into morning dew at dawn, dotted with a little crystal for the delicate summer flowers.
”What's up?”
In the dark courtyard, the dark haired wizard sat on the cool chair opposite the countess, his fingers rubbed the edge of the cup, and the mellow wine revolved with the shaking of the cup mouth.
Playing with the wine cup in his hand and sniffing its fragrance, Loren didn't mean to drink. His eyes looked puzzled at Charlotte who had specially left him.
”Yes.”
The countess, who had no smile on her face, just nodded slightly. She was also not interested in drinking. She didn't even look up at him. She just hummed a reply.
When the other party is silent, Loren can only guess the reason why the other party will stay; The countess is not a broad-minded person. Her style in the palace hall today can be said to have greatly offended her, so she asked herself to stay in order to scold herself when there was no one?
Well... That's very in line with her character.
Being able to save face when outsiders and small wizards are around is probably the limit for the proud Countess; If you don't give her a chance to vent, something will happen sooner or later.
This is not a deliberate accommodation, but at least respect... People, because their educational background and birth environment are bound to be very different. The unnecessary face abandoned at the key time may be more important to some people than their life, because this is the idea that they were infused since childhood. They would rather die than be ashamed.
Forget it, for the sake of the interests of both sides, anyway
”Sorry.”
”Alas!”
Before the dark haired wizard could react, Charlotte with wrinkled eyebrows had put down her glass, stood up from her seat with a serious look, put her hands in front of her and bent down.
Without any precaution, Loren sat rigidly in his chair, stared at the countess bowing to him, and didn't feel the glass falling to the ground.
”Although I know later, I'm not stupid...” slowly got up and straightened up her chest. The countess's expression was very calm and calm:
”Your behavior in the palace hall seems rude, but actually saved my life... Otherwise, I'm afraid the palace has been dyed red by blood and become a real 'red blood Castle'.”
”Even if I can die with Gaspar, governor Byrne, as a symbol of imperial power, died in the palace of red blood castle, and the Turin family will inevitably suffer heavy losses... Maybe one generation or even two generations can't recover the situation!”
”In order to save me and the Turin family, you took a dangerous move and shifted the target of Gaspar's hatred to yourself... I owe you this favor.”
”You're welcome, count; I did it only because...”
”I am not afraid of death, but... I want to live; I want to restore the glory of the Turin family that has declined in the hands of Roland Turin, the black Duke, and let the flag of the Golden Lion fly on this land again!” Charlotte's expression was determined, and there was no tremor in her voice:
”In order to achieve my goal, even if I make a deal with the devil and evil god, I will not hesitate!”
Loren did not open his mouth, calmly looked straight into his eyes and nodded slightly.
Going to the imperial capital alone and negotiating with Brandon de sallion... Even such a slim hope is enough to show her determination.
After a long silence, the garden became very quiet at midnight.
”In addition, I want to thank you.”
The countess's voice was very slight, and the corners of her mouth seemed to want to smile, but the next moment it turned cold again.
The dark haired wizard looked at her and stopped talking.
”Before today, no... Before Gaspar spoke that sentence...” Charlotte gripped the glass, and the bright red wine kept shaking in the glass:
”I can't imagine that he could do such an excessive thing and trample on the dignity of the Turin family without fear!”
