Chapter 656 (2/2)

Looking at Charlotte's completely frozen look, Lauren finally smiled: ”if you want to wear a crown, bear its weight first... This is the truth I learned from eboden's Consul, master corona.”

”You don't become a Duke the moment you get the title of Duke, but you start from the moment you have the consciousness of becoming a duke.

As for the title itself, it is just a symbol, a crown. ”

”Only from the standpoint of 'Duke of Byrne' or 'Knight King', can you not be coerced by the fanaticism of the knight of Byrne, nor by the title of 'Duke' used by the heavenly palace.” the black haired wizard said with assurance:

”Not only that, you don't have to be an enemy of the other party for the reason of either party, or become an ally with the other party under the pressure of one party; you only represent the red blood castle, the Lord of Turin and the future Duke of Byrne!”

”In that case, who should the count trust?” Charles, standing behind Charlotte, couldn't help asking, ”who is the count's ally and enemy?”

”The answer is very simple. Everyone is our ally.” the black haired wizard's mouth flashed a proud arc: ”everyone is our enemy.”

Hearing this, the red blood Castle housekeeper frowned.

”So I made a deal or compromise with Yuli vilz... It seems that the empire is more concerned about restoring stability to Byrne, which is our breakthrough.” sighed, and Loren continued:

”With the threat of Yuli vilz and the sky palace, we can suppress some of Bain's Knight lords and let them unite around the red blood castle or the Turin family; and the resentful Bain is also our sharp blade against the Empire, so that they dare not attack the Turin family easily.”

”Let the heavenly palace understand that only the Turin family is the most indisputable family in this land and the only family recognized by the vast majority of Lords; if they dare to ignore the existence of the Turin family or want to change a Duke... The final result must not be what they want to see!”

As for what the ”final result” is... This is self-evident to all three.

”At the same time, the threat of the coming arrival of the heavenly palace and Duke Yuli vilz will also pose a threat to the knight lords of Byrne; the round table, which was originally procrastinating and full of wrangling and accusations, will become truly efficient.”

The black haired wizard's eyes were bright and his tone was more serious than before: ”if they can't elect a duke in the face of the imperial mission, or at least someone who can represent the whole Bain, they don't even have the qualification to talk to the Empire on an equal footing;

At that time, let alone declare war. In the face of the threat of the Empire and El Mans, it is unrealistic for the thirteen lords to maintain absolute unity... After all, in the end, the interests of the thirteen lords cannot be exactly the same. ”

Charlotte was still silent, but her expression was obviously different from that at the beginning.

”This... Is the reason why I reached a compromise with Yuli vilz.” the black haired wizard crossed his fingers again, and the originally painful joints had been relieved:

”Whether or not the Duke's purpose is really the same as he said, or whether he has other purposes, this is a very rare opportunity for us to reach an agreement with all Knight lords and the heavenly palace before the round table.”

”Next, we can deal with those Knight lords one by one, help them understand the facts, and use various means to win over, buy, or threaten and lure to solve all the opponents one by one;

Until no one opposed the Turin family any more, they united closely around the red blood castle to welcome the arrival of the imperial mission! ”

The countess and the steward of the red blood castle looked at each other, and their eyes twinkled with amazement.

”So.” Charlotte took a deep breath and looked very serious: ”this is your plan...”

”No, this should be our plan. Recapture the title of Duke and restore the glory of the Turin family... These are your ambitions, Charlotte. I'm just a feasible way for this goal, that's all.”

”No friends, only interests... Seems to be a very cold way.” Charles looked at Lauren and said, ”isn't there any emotion in your plan?”

”It's a plan, not a sonnet, so there's no need to be pretentious.” Laurent smiled at him: ”as I just said, I want to wear a crown

Bear its weight first --! ”
