Chapter 825 (1/2)
Charlotte stood up and looked at him, staring at him.
”Loren Turin, you always ask me what I think and what I think of myself...” she whispered and looked a little confused:
”What about yourself... What do you think and what do you think of yourself?”
Lauren, slightly stunned, raised his head and looked up at the countess with an expressionless face.
”Huh? My Duke.”
”Who are you in your eyes?”
”A knight, a wizard, a stranger in his hometown...” the countess stared at him: ”or the Lord of Turin, our Duke?”
Stunned for a moment, Loren burst out laughing: ”what are you talking about? I can't understand. What happened to you...”
”Pa!” a crisp sound.
Looking at Charlotte, Loren was completely stunned.
The collar was seized, and their faces were close at hand.
What is she going to do? Or is it the same as last time
”If you really think of yourself as the Lord of Byrne, you won't be indifferent to the current scene.” Charlotte looked at him seriously, and their pupils reflected each other's eyes:
”There are more important things... What is more important to a Duke than what will break up his principality?”
”No, I didn't mean that!” Lauren said decisively and hastily, ”you misunderstood. I just wanted to say...”
”What do you want to say and explain?” the countess interrupted him again. ”If you really think of yourself as the Lord of Byrne, you won't be indifferent to such things!”
”No, you should take advantage of your triumphant return and outstanding reputation to save more power, land, wealth and power, and expand your family and your own power. This is what a Duke should do!”
”Even the black Duke once joined hands in the thirteen leaders of Byrne, controlled the south by marrying the daughter of the Earl of storm castle, and forced the broken sword tower to give up several farms adjacent to the red blood castle.”
”Even that stupid 'Knight Idol' really thinks of himself as a duke, don't you?”
Charlotte whispered and asked in her eyes, ”are you a fool who knows nothing about all this? Of course you're not... You won the Royal trial, you expelled the governor of the Empire, and you... Won back the Duke title of the Turin family.”
”In that case, why are you indifferent to this situation?”
”Is it because you still haven't changed from your past identity and still regard yourself as a foreigner and 'rule' the principality from the perspective of bystanders that you haven't noticed these changes?”
”Or...” she bit her lower lip and shook her palm with the black haired wizard's collar:
”All this was originally expected by you, and even arranged by you?”
Loren looked at Charlotte, who suddenly changed, and said nothing.
”Yes, I almost forgot... You are Loren Turin.” suddenly, the countess who had just looked dignified laughed and shook her head:
”The wizard who can tell me that he has no interest in power and wealth... How can he care about these trivial things I care about?”
”No, I never meant that. You misunderstood...” looking at Charlotte, who was becoming more and more disturbing, the black haired wizard hurriedly explained.
”If you don't want to be misunderstood...”
Charlotte clenched his collar fiercely, with a sonorous and powerful tone with indisputable strength: ”then take out the momentum of decisiveness, and take out the look you should have as a Duke --!”
A sharp voice echoed in the study for a long time.
”If you don't want to let Byrne and Turin, who have been reborn, fall back to the even more terrible situation of the past...” the countess's eyes were cold:
”Then do what you should do!”
”Depose me, deprive me of my title, and concentrate the power of Turin on you alone; select the family you think appropriate and marry me - forge an unbreakable alliance with marriage, let Byrne be obedient to you and Turin, and let the glory of the chivalry reign shine on this land again!”
”In this way, a disaster can be eliminated and hidden. A grand wedding and ceremony can also divert everyone's attention; from engagement to formal wedding, we can win at least one year!”
”One year... The demon hunter Legion can at least form combat effectiveness. The red blood castle will be unified under the authority of one person again. You can have enough strength to fight any enemy you think!”
Looking at Charlotte's determined appearance, the black haired wizard took a deep breath and hesitated for a moment before he said:
”Charlotte, did you think of this... Because of the rumors and the round table Council?”
He wanted to take the opportunity to change the topic and disrupt Charlotte's thinking.
But... It was a shameful failure.
”A qualified ruler should not care about the eyes of the vassal, but he must not ignore it.” the countess's eyes are still dignified: ”rumors... Are at best an inducement.”
”The two hidden dangers of 'Turin' were exposed when you went on an expedition to the green sea... I've thought about the way for a long time.”
She closed her mouth tightly and clenched her teeth: ”this is the best way - the existence of two turins at the same time will only reduce the authority of the Turin family; loyalty and vision must focus on one person!”
The two men looked at each other for a long time.
The high spirited Countess is like a martyr ready to die at this moment - in order to restore the glory of the Turin family, she doesn't mind going to the stake or putting herself on a silver plate.
It's like a candle burning dry, ready to burn out the last light.
”Charlotte, er, cough, cough...” the black haired wizard coughed a few times and hesitated for a moment: ”I think you're too worried. Even if it's a marriage, you don't have to be now!”
The countess's face immediately showed a disappointed expression, and her sharp eyes were cold and piercing!
”Well, I, I'm not saying you're wrong!” Lauren quickly waved his hand and quickly explained, ”I think what you said is very right and very correct. Marriage is indeed the best way to establish an alliance!”
”Moreover, the gossip of the red blood Castle must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it will greatly harm the authority of the Turin family. We must change this situation!”
”So... What I want to say is, what I want to say is, what I want to say is... Yes...”
Charlotte stared at him, her eyes getting colder and colder.
”I think marriage is right, but you are not the one who should marry...” the black haired wizard is more and more unscrupulous, scratching his head desperately, looking for a reasonable reason for himself: ”the person who really should marry should be... Yes... I -!”
The air was quiet for a few seconds.
Charlotte narrowed her eyes slightly and looked surprised:
”What did you just say?”
what?
What did I say?
Loren was stunned at first. After he realized that it was too late to change his mouth, he immediately nodded seriously: ”yes, I should be married.”
”I am the Lord of Turin, the Duke of Byrne. Only I can focus everyone's attention!”
Slowly raised her eyes, Charlotte did not speak immediately, but looked at him thoughtfully.
