Chapter 618 (1/2)
”Charles... You really, really make me...”
Dressed in a black dress like a military dress, Charlotte sat on the armchair in the palace hall and looked down at the red blood Castle housekeeper who was half kneeling in front of her. Bei teeth clenched and said those words. The faint loss and incredible eyes finally turned into a long sigh, and her expression recovered her usual calm:
”I won't investigate the private mobilization of troops and palace knights for the time being. You did a good job... Anyway, Gaspar is our most important enemy. If we can defeat him, of course, we have to do everything.”
Well done
Just hearing this sentence, Charles half kneeling on the ground can imagine how heartbroken Charlotte is at the moment! The most trusted person finally went against his will, did her most shameful thing, and even deliberately kept her in the dark; But everything I do is to protect her and think of her
I'm afraid only she herself can really understand how bitter such a tangled and complex emotion is.
”I'm really sorry, everything is my responsibility!”
With a slight tremor in his heart, Charles clenched his teeth and lowered his head deeply: ”the count knows nothing about the attack on the caravan or the encirclement and suppression of the blood cult tonight. It's all my own orders, and all the responsibilities are on me! If the empire is investigated afterwards, I...”
”Don't say such irresponsible things to me, Charles!”
Charlotte suddenly got up from the armchair, and the corners of her mouth trembled slightly: ”don't think it is for me. You can't bear such a great responsibility - you are the manager of red blood Castle appointed by me. Even if you are held accountable, it should be me, not you!”
Charles's eyes flickered and almost buried his head on the ground.
”Come on, don't be so nervous - if everything is in your plan, the heavenly palace will not make trouble for us with the shameful scandal of 'the governor is a heresy' at that time.”
With a sigh, the countess couldn't help humming coldly: ”what's more, it should be Loren Turin who could have expected that this guy was really so self righteous and good at making ideas, and didn't forget to drag others; even you had to cover for him everywhere... If the guard chief Youlun didn't notice something wrong, I would still be in the dark!”
The housekeeper of Wen Yan didn't dare to say a word more. It would be better to have an ”outlet” for the count to complain at this time. Anyway, the wizard won't be like this. Can he sneeze more?
What's more, according to Charles's understanding of Charlotte, generally when she began to complain, it showed that she had almost calmed down, but she couldn't wipe face for a time and didn't want to spare each other easily, so she just buried a lot of words.
And Charles noticed a very important point - the count called the wizard his Excellency ”Loren Turin”, not ”Loren” or ”Viscount Loren”.
This small change is crucial, because Charlotte has never regarded Lord Loren as a member of the Turin family before. It is entirely because of the alliance with his highness Brandon that Charlotte had to allow him to appear in the red blood castle.
When did the change begin, or did the count have a crush on him
”And... How are you doing with that bastard's plan?”
With another cold hum, Charlotte, who barely calmed her mood, turned the topic to the immediate thing: ”it seems that he and his escort have sneaked into the headquarters of the heretic church?”
”This is almost the case. At present, everything is going well.”
Charles finally breathed a sigh of relief, slowly got up and carried his hands behind his back: ”I have given orders to the guards and patrols in the city in your name, closed all the gates and entrances of the castle, and stationed guards on important streets - at present, the vicinity of the governor's office has been completely blocked, and there can be no large-scale personnel in and out.”
”In addition, up to now, we have not noticed any movement coming from the governor's house... In fact, there is no sound. It is almost empty except for the guards and lights outside the door.”
This is the only thing that makes Charles feel abnormal or strange. He was ready for Gaspar to take the initiative to protest and even confront the guards of the governor's office. As a result, the other party was calm to the point of silence, which made many of his preparations come to naught.
”Should this be a good thing?” Charlotte frowned slightly and couldn't help guessing, ”maybe he has realized that the situation is over and the situation has reached an irreparable point?”
”Maybe...”
