"No way, I will never agree to such a thing!"
In the courtyard of the red blood Castle palace, Charlotte, who had just heard half of it, immediately interrupted the black haired wizard who was ready to continue. Her domineering eyes could kill people.
Tired to the extreme, Loren rolled his eyes, and the tit for tat made the atmosphere in the courtyard tense; The worried little wizard kept swinging between them and didn't know how to persuade them to reconcile. Ariel corona, holding a wine glass, didn't seem to notice the quarrel and all his attention was on the wine in the glass.
For the "lovely" Ariel, it's too complicated to debate and stand by. The only way she can support Loren may be to destroy the body of his enemy.
"As I said, there is no way... To solve the problem of governor Gaspar, we must first defeat the yode chamber of Commerce, and then..." the patient Loren cleared his throat and was ready to slowly explain his purpose to the countess and the reason why he had to do so.
"No, no!" Charlotte stood proudly with a stubborn expression that didn't care about anything: "in short, either you give up or just kill me - as long as I'm still the count of red blood castle, I'll never allow this to happen!"
The countess's stubbornness made the black haired wizard sigh a long sigh and turn back powerlessly. The grey pupil boy who should have stood up to support himself at this time was now tit for tat with Asriel blinking innocent big eyes. She looked like she could draw a sword at any time and had no time to talk to herself.
Only Charles took advantage of the gap to pour Charlotte wine and handed the black haired wizard an equally helpless wry smile.
Loren suddenly felt a headache.
He didn't know about it until he came back from the ruins - in order to keep the United Chamber of Commerce and seize the control of the red blood Castle trade, little Joad finally decided to give it a go.
He deliberately sent out a signal of reconciliation, tricked his father, old Roger, into the United Chamber of Commerce, and then came forward in person. While completely angering the other party, he also made the other party feel a great threat... No one knows his chamber of Commerce better than little yode. Once the United Chamber of Commerce has a firm foothold, it's easy to destroy him!
There are only two ways in front of Roger Yoder... Either swear allegiance to governor Gaspar completely, or fight to the death to drive the United Chamber of Commerce out of red blood castle and even Bain; With little Joad's understanding of his father, there would be no third possibility except these two.
No matter how much he belittles, satirizes and satirizes his father, little Joad must admit that he does have unimaginable business mind and survival wisdom - even the free nobles of eboden did not do such a crazy thing as trying to use trade routes to control a principality.
It is precisely because of old Roger and little yode that he saw another possibility in this world. Another possibility that one ruler can control the life and death of thousands of people without title, descent and even territory!
If the chamber of Commerce, the economic system and the precedent of eboden people are more beautiful than before, what really makes little Joad sigh is his father's survival wisdom.
Even if he became the leader of the chamber of commerce with a fortune of hundreds of millions, old Roger still obeyed the nobles and did his best to flatter them. At the same time, he tried his best to pull out the last copper plate from their hands and turn it into the gold bond of Yoder chamber of Commerce... Before winning the mining right of Bain, the earliest capital of Yoder chamber of Commerce was the "savings" of these Lords.
Old Roger, who can do anything to keep the Yod chamber of Commerce alive, was once the idol of little Yod... Ironically, he must now drag the idol down from the altar and smash it.
As he expected, Gaspar betrayed old Roger... Just five days later, the spy lurking in the red blood Castle came the news that the caravan of yode chamber of Commerce had entered the count's territory.
Here comes the chance.
There is no doubt that this caravan is the last card and capital of old Roger... As long as the caravan is raided and completely destroyed, yode chamber of Commerce will no longer have the possibility of turnover before the Midsummer Festival, and even old Roger's own position will be in danger!
Old Roger was not a brave man. He was good at steering in the wind; As long as the Yoder chamber of commerce faces collapse, he will never fight to the end. At that time, Gaspar will be an empty title "governor Bain", which can no longer pose a threat to the Turin family.
But the premise of this plan is that it must be in the territory of red blood castle... Of course, Charlotte completely "blew up" after hearing this reply.
The previous Nilton and Cortes can also be understood as necessary actions to defeat the enemy; Moreover, these people were scum of the red blood castle, and they were still within her tolerance - but the raid on the yode family caravan was an out and out atrocity by all means.
Charlotte Turin... She can't do anything to shame her ancestors. It happens on the land of red blood castle.
…………………………
The discussion in the courtyard finally broke up unhappily. Charlotte, who was stubborn to the end, failed to agree in the end - "the arrogant" Countess still refused to give up her position.
"Red blood castle... Only red blood castle can't. the glory of the Turin family for thousands of years can't be tarnished, otherwise... I'd rather return the title to the empire than let the Turin family lose their last dignity in my generation!"
"It's not a matter of interests and positions, it's a principle. Even if I'm crazy, Loren Turin... Only this kind of thing, the Turin family must not be reduced to the same level as those despicable people..."
At this stage, even the little wizard can hear the meaning of begging from Charlotte's "arrogant" words, which is almost saying "I can promise you anything except this".
Pride does not mean rudeness. Charlotte knows that if it were not for this self righteous black haired wizard, the Turin family would not be able to alliance with the corona family, let alone regain its current position under the pressure of governor Gaspar.
If only to protect the Turin family as an ally, he didn't have to do so much... He is really treating himself as a member of the Turin family.
But now he really needs only this... The black haired wizard shook his head with a bitter smile and sighed tired and helpless.
If the fascists really get ahead, it means that there is not much time to delay... Even if they immediately write to the imperial capital and report the truth to the sky palace, I'm afraid most people except Brandon will think they are crazy?
"Is there really only such a way?"
The gentle red blood Castle housekeeper came forward and asked anxiously.
The dark haired wizard said nothing, but shook his head solemnly.
If he has plenty of time, of course, he doesn't want to do so. The consequences of losing his reputation are also very serious, and even become a handle for some people to use... But at present, there is not much choice.
"I see..." Charles sighed with relief and said slowly, "I'll try my best to persuade her on the count's side. You just have to do what you think is right."
"Oh?"
Loren raised his eyebrows in surprise: "I thought you would stand on Charlotte's side. How..."
"It's the count." Charles deliberately stressed, and the next second he reluctantly closed his mouth: "of course, I will always support the count, but everything must be based on protecting her safety and status. Dignity and credibility... Sometimes it's just meaningless luxury."
"It would be better to say this now - always try to get rid of the relationship between this matter and the count. It's best to happen without her knowing. It's just the opinions of the people around her." the housekeeper smiled and humbly lowered his head:
"If you want to take responsibility, let me shoulder it alone."
The dark haired wizard did not speak, but nodded slightly to show his respect.
"By the way, although there is no progress on the information about the blood cult, I still don't know where their real stronghold is, but... I care about one information."
Charles frowned slightly and looked very complicated: "the child called boots you brought back... He told me that he once saw two strangers from the north in the tavern in the lower city, and seemed to be looking for the remains of Brunhild..."
