Chapter 665 (1/2)
The countess's voice was not loud, but clear enough for everyone in the hall to hear clearly.
The clear and melodious voice was still echoing in the hall, and Charlotte had taken her seat; The eyebrows of the sword stand upright, gentle but dignified; She broke the silence in a shorter way:
”Gentlemen... Let's start!”
The twelve Knight lords nodded slightly, and their eyes focused on Charlotte almost at the same time; Tension, doubt, excitement, vigilance, indifference
If they have anything in common, it is that they are not very friendly.
The black haired wizard sitting under the porch column looked at the people in front of the round table coldly, looked at the countess with no tension on her face, looked at them, and put her crossed fingers in front of her.
Come on, Charlotte... Let's see what you're good at.
”Everyone present must have known the reason why the round table Parliament was convened again after many years.” Charlotte looked around the whole hall, with sharp eyes starting from her right hand and sweeping the faces of the twelve Knight lords one by one.
No one spoke.
Quiet and silent, everyone keeps quiet as if they had agreed; The stillness of the hall contrasted sharply with the noise before the countess took her seat.
”Well, since everyone already knows, I don't need to say anything.” the countess said coldly, pressing the armrest of the chair with both hands: ”within three days, the mission of the sky palace will arrive at the red blood castle and read out the final imperial edict!”
Three days... The black haired wizard picked his eyebrows and the corner of his mouth aroused a little radian in surprise.
”Archduke Yuli vilz of El mans has accepted the invitation of the Empire as the imperial envoy of this' Grand 'mission; he will make a reasonable explanation on the Gaspar Wien incident and the destruction of the cathedral on behalf of the will of the heavenly palace;”
”And at the same time...” Charlotte slowly looked up and said more solemnly: ”he will mediate for Byrne and choose a new Duke of Byrne from among us!”
Dead silence, suffocating silence.
In the next second, the angry noise broke out in the hall almost uncontrollably!
The hall of the red blood Castle palace was filled with the voice of anger and discontent like a mountain torrent; Almost all the Knights jumped up directly from their chairs and roared and quarreled with each other.
”Choose a new Duke for us. What does the sky palace think of us?!”
”They probably think that all the principalities, like elmond, are dogs in the heavenly palace?!”
”The Byrne people's affairs can only be solved by the Byrne people. Outsiders must not interfere, especially the Empire!”
”But we do need a new Duke. Since Roland, the black Duke, was deposed...”
”Shut up, how dare you mention the black Duke?! have you forgotten who betrayed him?!”
”The heavenly palace is not trustworthy, and desalion is not trustworthy. We must choose our own Duke!”
... the dark haired wizard under the colonnade silently watched the red faced quarrels of these knights, as if only a loud voice could show how brave he was and how loyal he was to Byrne.
In the noise, the knight lords sitting in front of the round table exchanged eyes with each other. Their nervous, uneasy or stunned expressions and pale cheeks obviously didn't expect the reaction of the sky palace to be so rapid.
”Everybody --!”
In the noise, Charlotte's loud voice was as harsh as a sword; In an instant, the whole palace hall was quiet again:
”As the head of the red blood castle, there is no doubt that the Turin family is loyal to the Empire. Since the second generation of the Empire, six heads of the Turin family have dyed blood for the Empire in duanjie mountain and the big green sea.”
Charlotte paused slightly and said in a dignified voice:
”But we will not succumb to every order of the heavenly palace - we are Baines, proud and ancient Baines, our Duke, can only be elected by ourselves!”
”So... Gentlemen, this is the purpose for us to gather here for a few days.” Charlotte raised her sword eyebrows and swept her sharp eyes from the knight lords in front of the round table again:
