In the quiet carriage, the young Archduke ellemans looked solemn, and his silver gray pupils examined the black haired wizard sitting in front of him.
Although he had learned some information about his half brother from Lucian, at the moment he saw Yuli veltz, Loren found that he underestimated the "serious" weight in his mouth.
Obviously, he is still a slender and thin boy, but his serious expression and meticulous sitting posture seem to give him the illusion that he is facing master corona and even crown prince Connor.
The real pressure that permeated around each other, as if it could pierce the silver gray eyes in the heart, warned the black haired wizard not to be underestimated due to age and appearance.
Sitting in front of him is the Archduke of a principality in his hand; Those who can be on an equal footing with this young man in the empire can be counted with both hands.
"Why?" the cold and dignified voice of Yuli vilz said, "is it so surprising to see me?"
"Shouldn't it?"
Calmed down, Loren calmed down and asked in the calmest tone, "if I remember correctly, theoretically you should still be the capital of the Principality of El Mans, not Bain and red blood castle."
"In theory... As the wizard adviser of his highness Brandon, you should be in Golovin, West saxoland now." Yuli weiltz spoke clearly, and even the ritual officer of the heavenly palace could not jump out of any trouble:
"So stop talking about him, Loren Turin; my time is very precious, and you must give me a clear answer immediately;
Byrne... Are you ready to rebel against the Empire? "
The dark haired wizard frowned slightly and crossed his subconscious fingers; He knew that those sharp and cold eyes were watching him and would not give him any more opportunities.
"The key to whether he will rebel against the empire is not Byrne, but in the heavenly palace." after a little thinking, Loren calmly said: "this matter is not simple enough to be clear in just a few words. The attitude of any party is very important."
Duke Yuri didn't speak. His silver gray eyes still stared at the black haired wizard's eyes, which made him feel pressure.
"But you... Lord Yuli weiltz, even if you really want to know the answer, why do you visit the red blood castle in private at this time?"
Forced to be calm, Loren asked, his dark pupils also staring into each other's eyes: "visit privately, observe secretly, and even tie me, an irrelevant outsider, to the carriage with such a tough means to press for information about the Principality of Byrne."
"I'd like to know what you're going to do and what you want to dig out of my mouth?"
The Archduke of El mans remained unchanged and sat opposite motionless; From beginning to end, black haired wizards can't find any useful breakthrough from anywhere on each other.
Taking a deep breath, Loren leaned against the back of the carriage and deliberately showed a relaxed expression: "Duke, I'm not aiming at you, but your practice will inevitably make people doubt your purpose; to tell the truth, if you can talk in a more friendly way or a way that can make both sides trust each other, I think..."
"Word game."
The sudden voice interrupted the words of the black haired wizard. Loren's face was slightly stunned. Yuli weiltz in front of him was still staring at him, but his eyes were speechless sarcasm:
"Terminate the original conversation, or avoid answering, and then point the spear at the other party... Loren Turin, do you really think I can't hear it?"
"I..."
"It's simpler, because I'm running out of patience," said the young Duke coldly. "If you continue like this, I'll conclude that you're deliberately hiding the truth of Byrne and buying time for the rebellion."
"If so, in a month, the mission to the Principality of Bain will not be 1000, but 100000!"
100000?!
In a month, the Empire had no time to recruit so many legions; That means the Duke... He's going to personally counter the rebellion for the Empire?!
"You... Are threatening me?" the Adam's apple twitched, and Loren's expression was a little ugly.
Yuli weiltz looked at him coldly: "I'm asking you not to mystify, but you can understand that."
At that moment, the atmosphere in the carriage became oppressive and deadly, making people a little out of breath.
The black haired wizard frowned, and his crossed fingers turned white because of too much force... Maybe it was because he had just taken the painkiller. His mind was completely chaotic, and he couldn't find any refutation or a foothold to fight the Duke.
Want to tell the truth?
Barons in Byrne do intend to rebel, and the attitudes of all Knight lords do show signs of wanting independence. Although Charlotte has tried her best to save it, it seems to have little effect
No, absolutely not! If the Empire decided that the Turin family had no prestige to lead Bain, the consequences would be unimaginable!
What should I do? What should I do?!
"But... I can also answer your previous questions."
Yuli weiltz suddenly interrupted the black haired wizard's thinking: "why visit the red blood castle in private? The reason is very simple, because I need a more neutral point of view."
Neutral point of view?
The dark haired wizard remained silent and began to meditate in his mind.
"The heavenly palace entrusted me with the mission of mediation, but I didn't think it was just a simple mediation." the young Duke had deep eyes and a very calm voice:
"Then there can only be one answer - the royal family must not come forward, otherwise the empire may collapse!"
"Therefore, this visit can only be conducted in private; once it is made public, the situation will be completely out of control." the frosty Yuli shook his head: "before the mission visits Bain, I must get the most neutral and objective answer to set the tone for this mediation."
"Is it to stabilize Byrne and select a new Duke, or to be ready to accept the declaration of war and put an end to the rebellion for the Empire?"
The loud words fell, and the carriage fell into silence again.
The silver gray pupils and dark eyes looked at each other. Yuli vilz's expression did not change at all. On the contrary, the dark haired wizard was slightly surprised.
In order to find out such an answer, the Duke dared to risk himself and run to the red blood castle alone?
Don't he really know... Right now, right now, how many people in this city want to kill him immediately and wipe the crown of the knight king with his blood?!
As long as he shouted, or just leaked the news, the Archduke of El mans would never see the sun tomorrow!
But before that, he has another problem.
"... why me?"
Loren's expression was very complex. He looked at the young Duke in front of him: "if you just want to know a 'neutral' answer, you can go to many people. Why do you have to come to me, an irrelevant person?"
"First of all, you are definitely not an 'irrelevant' person... Although there is no tangible evidence, the heresy incident definitely has a lot to do with you."
In the carriage, the young Duke leaned forward slowly, and his eyes carefully examined Loren's expression: "just on the way here, I've heard a lot of people talking about you, about how 'Loren Turin' rushed into the cathedral, saved the altar from Gaspar and avenged the dead archbishop."
"It was an accident, and it happened for a reason..."
"But that's just one of the reasons," the young Duke interrupted. "It's more... Because of a person."
Alone?
The black haired wizard was slightly stunned: "you mean... Lucian?"
"Of course not!" Yuli weiltz retorted without hesitation, but his eyes showed a flash of panic: "I won't blindly trust a person because my brother who ran away from home in order to prove himself!"
Loren's expression suddenly became very strange. He didn't know whether to laugh or not.
"I chose you because of the entrustment of a close friend." Yuli vilz said:
"The heir of lottel, the count of shenlimburg, Reuven Fred!"
