Vol 4 Chapter 17: "Tapping the Heart" (Part 1)

"clang--!"
Just when the black-haired wizard stepped into the door of the room, the hand-made "hand crossbow" landed on his own neck, and the forged steel blade was cold and biting.
Of course, it's still far from the murderous eyes of the girl in front ...
"Crazy man, you dare to lie to me!" Charlotte's face was full of anger, and the suppressed voice contained anger, but the tight face was extremely calm:
"You guys! You dare to bully a benefactor ... betting on the name of the Turin family, I will definitely make you pay!"
"Uh ... you seem to have forgotten, and I am also from Turin ..."
"Shut up!" Charlotte looked sharper:
"Lorren Turin, don't be too self-righteous, you are just a wizard advisor ... who the royal prince really thinks he is, can you just send celebrities to negotiate with an Earl Byrne?"
"Tell me, what is his sincerity ?!"
Loren looked at Charlotte so calmly: "It was because of me that it was more like His Highness Brandon paid enough sincerity for this meeting."
Despite scolding an hiding in the theater watching tens of thousands of times, Loren still had to stand on his side, as far as possible, so that the Countess Charlotte could negotiate with herself calmly.
"Really?" Charlotte sneered, not at all taking care of the dark-haired wizard's words.
Looking at her tense face, clenching her teeth but forcing her patience, Loren could only slow down her tone: "Excuse me ... Isn't your negotiation with His Highness Brandon last smooth?"
"What the do you want to say?"
"It's very simple, for some reason ... Obviously, both of us have some misunderstandings. It will not be a good result to continue the previous negotiations before resolving these misunderstandings." Loren explained very vaguely:
"But there is no doubt that we need help from each other on both sides, and this alliance is also what we need ... so please take the knife away and listen to me patiently."
"Everything you need? Huh!" The countess gave him a dismissive glance: "The words are really nice, obviously you need the assistance of the Principality of Byron, right?"
Even so, she withdrew the sharp blade and sat on the chair in the room with a frosted face.
"No, it's mutual benefit," the dark-haired wizard emphasized.
Suppressing the anger at the bottom of his heart, Charlotte looked at the "relative" coldly: "Although Brandon returned to the imperial capital, he was still just a prince with no title and no real power ... Although I had planned before , But now you guys do n’t seem to be worth my alliance at all! "
Although she was still a cold, high-pitched tone, the dark-haired wizard couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Very good, as long as she is willing to talk, there are dramas ...
In my memory, I was in such a disadvantageous position and completely unreasonable. It was really the first time ... This prince really likes to shake his hands and then throw the troubles of the aftermath to himself.
"Because His Highness has nothing now, is it the premise that you are willing to form an alliance with him?" Loren's mouth smiled faintly:
"If it is replaced by His Royal Highness Connold, I am afraid that the future of the Principality of Byrne will not only be dismembered, but will be completely annexed by the Sakran Empire!"
"You know very well that I am definitely not opening the river at Xinkou, but the completely foreseeable fact ... You came to the Imperial Capital at the expense of yourself, didn't you just avoid this result?"
Charlotte's hands clenched involuntarily, the chest under his shirt slightly undulating.
"What's more, now that His Highness Brandon is not nothing." Walking to the Countess, Loren looked around: "Isn't the invitation in your hand the best evidence?"
Charlotte's eyes flashed a bit of enlightenment, but he still snorted with a sullen face: "Just a wizarding college is not enough?"
"Exactly, it's not enough." Seeing her expression, the dark-haired wizard could not help but chuckled: "But with the help of the academy, His Royal Highness was able to connect with the guilds in the imperial capital, and there were even many pleasures A nobleman who made friends with wizards. "
"On the bright side, it is the aristocrats who have inherited a long family, the Holy Cross Church that represents faith, and the nobles who have been promoted by His Majesty."
"But in fact, it is the major guilds composed of these civilians, small nobles and wizards that really control the movement of people in all walks of life, the distribution of goods, the import and export of goods and the sources of tax ... they are the mainstay of Golovin. The power to continuously provide fresh blood to this city. "
"Controlling them means controlling Golovin ... Controlling the imperial capital means controlling the Sakran Empire!"
Charlotte could not help frowning slightly, thinking about the meaning of what the dark-haired wizard said.
"Of course, His Highness Brandon, who has no authority, is in a very difficult situation. It is not a matter of speaking with these people." Softly speaking, Loren looked at the strong countess calmly and sighed:
"But compared to you ... it's not worth mentioning!"
Charlotte's expression suddenly stiffened.
"If it weren't for the exhaustion of the mountains, there was nothing you could do ... Count Charlotte Turin, you would never take a huge risk, but also try your luck in the imperial capital, and even commit to a prince of the Dessalian family . "
"In other words, whether it is you, the Turin family or the future of Byrne, there is not much choice!"
At the moment of the exit, the calm Countess's shoulders were trembling, and there was a burning fire in her eyes!
"The reason for telling you this is because I have to make you understand one thing ... I didn't get Brandon's permission to meet you. On the contrary, he didn't know what happened today."
"Why ?!" Charlotte's face tightened.
"In a sense, for the same reason as you." The dark-haired wizard continued to murmur, and said in a nonchalant way: "For His Highness Brandon, for myself ... for the Principality of Bain and the Turin family. "
"Yes ... no matter whether you approve or not, I am also a surname of Turin, and I am also a benefactor-even if I have never lived in Bairn in my life, it does not mean that I am seeing a girl surnamed Torino in distress I also ignored it at that time ... if there is any offense, I hope to forgive me! "
As the words fell, Loren bowed to her expressionlessly.
Charlotte, who was originally frosted, also became overwhelmed by his sudden sincerity and openness.
That expression, as well as what he said, it seems ... not kidding yourself?
Not to mention ... he is indeed the blood of the Turin family.
A moment of silence made her eyes clear and firm again. She raised her head and looked at the dark-haired wizard in front of her:
"Yes, but I have a condition."
Under Charlotte's excited eyes, Loren appeared extremely calm: "Please speak."
"I can forget the humiliation Brandon brought me, and the disrespectful actions he made, just like ... As you said, Byrne and Turin have little choice, even if he is like that. I can only accept ... "
Although Charlotte was forced to anger, the dark-haired wizard could still hear the countess' "grinding teeth".
Brandon de Salion, what the are you doing ...
"But at least, he must show enough strength to prove that he is indeed capable of returning Bain and the Turin family to regain the title; this is my final decision ~ EbookFREE.me ~ there will never be any more Changes! "
"If he can't do it, or dare to bully me again ..."
"I will let him see what kind of faith and determination a Baien person will have!"
The excited emotion of the countess was indeed in Loren's expectation. What really surprised Loren was her calmness ... The majestic momentum and determination not to be shaken by emotions are really admirable.
Of course, the other party really has no choice, which is why Loren has no fear ... and then he scolded a prince who threw the pot to himself in his heart 10,000 times ...
"Then I don't know ... what kind of proof do you want?"
"It's not as good as you said before." Charlotte raised his lips slightly, with a cold smile: "How about the wizards and guilds of Golovin loyal to Brandon?"
After a moment of silence, Loren finally smiled and bowed to the petite and pleasant Countess sitting in the chair:
"As you wish!"
