Chapter 628 (1/2)
”Lord count, what are you doing?!”
In the dark street, an old aristocrat of red blood castle with gray beard stood in front of Charlotte, impassioned and righteous; Behind him was a group of trembling nobles, huddled together tremblingly.
Holding torches, the heavily armed city guard lights the streets as transparent as day, but still can't make them feel the slightest warmth in this midsummer; On the contrary, only the gangrene like cold.
”What am I going to do?”
Charlotte duling's sword eyebrows stood up, and her eyes swept one by one from the faces of all the people present. Her severe expression gave people almost sacred and inviolable dignity, which made the original confident old nobleman couldn't help lowering his head and didn't dare to look directly into her eyes.
”It seems that my housekeeper didn't make things clear... Charles, it's your dereliction of duty!”
”I'm very sorry, count.” the steward of the red blood Castle bowed with his hands on his back, and then looked coldly at the old noble: ”but I clearly remember that I told you the whole thing in detail; of course, I don't mind telling you again in front of the count.”
”In the name of Charlotte Turin, the Earl of the red blood castle, we have received reliable information that there are a group of heretical groups in the red blood Castle who believe in evil gods in the name of 'Byrne tradition' - and just now, these heretics even made a sudden attack on Byrne cathedral. At the moment, the Earl's court knights are trying their best to eliminate them!”
”In order to defend the orthodoxy of the Holy Cross Church and the stability and peace of the red blood castle, we will severely track down any red blood Castle nobles who collude with these heretics and even participate in them; but after discovery, we will punish them severely!”
The voice echoed in the street. Charlotte, standing on the sword, looked colder and colder, staring at the old nobleman standing in front of her:
”Any questions, sir?”
”Doubt? No... no, it's a slander!”
The gnashing old aristocrat trembled all over, as if he would faint at any time: ”all the aristocrats of red blood castle are your most loyal ministers! Turin family... Would you doubt the loyalty of their knights?!”
”Of course not!”
The countess asserted without hesitation, but her eyes were more fierce: ”but the Turin family also wants to defend the belief of the Empire, the belief of the people, and any heresy threatening the church must be destroyed immediately without mercy!”
”I've heard some rumors... Tell me, sir; do you and your family also collude with these heretical groups, or does your family also participate in them?”
”Nonsense, pure nonsense!”
The old nobleman quickly denied, shaking up and down as if shaking: ”we are all your most loyal servants and the most firm guardians and followers of the Holy Cross; we will never abandon our faith to believe in a heretical evil god!”
”Very good. It seems that you have really lived up to the Turin family's trust in you.” Charlotte coldly raised her mouth and smiled with a trace of pride:
”Have you heard that the courtiers of the Charles Turin family are the most staunch followers of the Holy Cross, and there can never be any heresy - you can check it and be sure to clarify those meaningless rumors, and you are still innocent!”
”Wait --!”
Before the housekeeper answered, the panicked old nobleman quickly stopped him; Standing trembling in front of the countess, he could hardly speak clearly:
”Although, although we are all the most staunch believers of the Holy Cross, we are also Bain people; the legend of Brunhild is a household name in red blood castle and throughout Bain. What's more, it is... A part of our precious tradition! If you use this reason to trace it, I'm afraid...”
”Shut up!”
Charlotte suddenly burst into a drink, and the cold blade suddenly fell, as if it had knocked on the heart of the old aristocrat!
”You people... The Turin family treats you well; but how do you repay the Turin family?!”
”Where were you in Gaspar when I was not seizing power? Where were you when vampires roamed the red blood castle?!”
”What were you doing when the heretic church raided the cathedral, burned the Holy Church and trampled the majesty of the red blood castle under your feet?”
”Now, my knights are fighting to defend the majesty of the red blood castle... So don't tell me any reason or tradition - anyone who dares to betray the Turin family, going to hell is your only way out! Charles!”
