Vol 5 Chapter 127: Necessary price

With a crunch, Loren came to remember to feel a cheek pain.
When I looked up again, I only saw Charlotte's face frosty, his eyes full of murderous intent.
"clang!"
Under the girl's black lion's golden lion's shawl, a sharp dagger echoed; the whistling of the sharp blade heard the black wizard standing upside down.
The next second, the dagger was stab at his face!
With a startled look, Loren was almost an instinctive reaction; when his left hand turned, he lightly blocked Charlotte's wrist, and at the same time, he held his palm back, pushing the tip of the sword aside.
It's not dangerous, but in such a sudden situation, Loren, who has not recovered, wants to control his strength and try not to hurt her. It is really necessary to concentrate on it.
"Huh!"
The Countess of the Red Blood Castle, which had not been hit, flashed a look of anger, but did not mean to give up; the left hand raised, immediately revealing the sleeve sword under his wrist, and pointed at the black wizard's throat.
Loren had no time to dodge and had to step back, while his right hand was already pushed towards Charlotte's wrist; his right foot took the opportunity to march and stopped in front of her knee.
Unsurprisingly, the inexperienced countess shuddered, and the black wizard who seized the opportunity immediately pressed her two wrists, kicked the chair, and pressed her directly on the round table in the round table hall.
"Snapped!"
A muffled, trembling Charlotte's upper body was pressed by the black wizard on the table, spreading like a waterfall's long mantle, and the rapid gasp could not calm the anger in her pupils.
"what are you doing?!"
Loren did not dare to let go, and the strength of his hands told him that Charlotte had not given up.
"Kill you!"
The countess's eyes widened, her teeth clenched and she struggled desperately, her feet kicking back and forth.
"Why ?! Uh ... I know that I may have done a lot of wrong things. In some cases, I haven't had time to discuss with you, and I made a little assertion ... but I don't think it's such a thing yet?"
"You know, you still know ?!" Charlotte's voice was shaking.
"Yes, I know I was wrong. I will now apologize to you with the most sincere attitude. As long as you can calm down, don't be so impulsive, let me do anything, whatever punishment is okay?"
"Go to you!"
Charlotte suddenly rushed forward in a vicious manner, taking advantage of the black wizard's unpredictability, and pointed the sleeve sword at his neck again.
"puff!"
Arrows off the string!
Loren's eyes widened in amazement, his eyes locked on the black shadow coming from his neck, and the muscles of his body tightened immediately ... with the greatest force, he turned back to avoid.
In an instant, the sound of the arrow tearing the air resounded in his ear like a death knell.
"boom!"
The black wizard lay down on the ground, his right hand pressed firmly on his throat.
Charlotte slowly got up from the table, looked at Loren on the ground in amazement, and then looked at the sleeved sword (hand crossbow) with a arrow on his wrist. The shock was undecided.
At the next moment, Loren lying down on the ground trembled tremblingly, his right hand clutching the crossbow, the tip of the arrow against the flesh between his necks.
Only a few centimeters.
For a time, the round table hall fell into silence.
Silent Charlotte dragged a chair and sat down angrily.
After repeatedly confirming that she would not pounce again, the dark wizard also got up; but still watching carefully, standing at a distance of about three steps from Charlotte.
The atmosphere was cold and biting.
"Yes, sorry ..."
After hesitating for a while, Loren spoke slowly.
"I'm sorry?" Charlotte sneered, and his eyes were fixed on him, with unabashed sarcasm in his words: "But you have saved Poi, and saved the Empire and captured the hero of the Silver Helmet Mountain. , Our Duke ... what are you sorry about? "
"I……"
"Do you really understand?"
Charlotte, hysterical, interrupted him directly, and his slightly trembling eyes were filled with water: "In order to stabilize this newly unified Bayern, in order to maintain our relationship with the Yunling Kingdom, and the relationship with the Heavenly Dome, what should we pay? How much effort? "
"I understand." Loren sighed: "Little Yoder told me, he said you ..."
"You do not understand!"
Charlotte gritted his teeth and turned pale to the extreme: "If you know, then you won't do it on the front line! I only know to send back one letter after another, send one bad news after another, and tell me a thousand The siege was besieged, Grand Duke Poi suffered a defeat and failed to attack Silver Helmet Mountain ... "
"I can only bear it, even if I pretend to laugh; because the Bayern are watching, the dwarf's messenger is watching, and the Empire is watching! I can't let them know that the Duke of Bayern is destined to die!"
"You have captured the Silver Helmet Mountain and created a career that has not been achieved by the cavalier kings in the past. What a prestige ... But the price is the border of Chen Bing in the Yunling Kingdom. The Dwarf Supreme King even listed you as a dead enemy. Now! "
"You promised to discuss with me to decide how the Centaur War ended, but in the end, the letter was sent out on your own initiative; most of the empire was panicked, and the church continued to clamor in the Sky Dome, and to set up a heretical trial in Bayern court!"
"And the embarrassed prince ... Do you really think that others are fools, only you are smart? When Baien ’s supplies arrive in Thousand Accounts, all the people in the empire will know what is going on, and the battle between the crown prince will Will be completely exposed! "
Charlotte laughed, only bitterly smiled: "I haven't seen it too clearly before, but now I have understood ... Lorren Turin, when you do what you think is correct, you will not consider how others feel And opinion. "
"In your eyes, as long as the result is good, everything else doesn't matter. Let others think about it ... is it?"
Loren looked at her, the more visible pupils of water, the pale complexion, the blood-stained eyes, and the apparently thin body ... he couldn't say a word.
"You found the turning point in the battle, you seized the best opportunity, even if you were in danger, you must attack the enemy and you must bet on all the chips in your hands; then, you won."
"But have you considered whether Byrne can afford the price of such a victory?" The countess's voice choked with a trace of disappointment:
"Don't the Black Duke's end not enough to teach you, or are you also a lunatic who worships him as a hero ?!"
Charlotte gritted his teeth, tears had slipped across his cheeks, his shoulders trembling.
She stood up sharply and turned around, leaving only Loren a trembling back.
The black wizard raised his head calmly, with a heavy expression: "Charlotte, I ..."
"Loren! Turin!"
The countess turned sharply, and the red eyes on the tear-stained cheeks stared at him, clenching her teeth:
"Mine! Duke! Master!"
The sound of tearing the heart and lungs echoed in the hall.
"When you pretend to protect others, win unscrupulously, win all over and over, and bet on your own life, have you ever thought seriously ..."
"... How worried am I?"
Suddenly, the pupil of the black wizard shrank suddenly.
The hall was dead again.
The two facing each other stood at a distance of less than three steps away from each other, but it seemed that they could only look at each other from a distance across a long gully.
"……Sorry."
When I say this word again, it seems like a century has passed.
The calm black wizard raised his head and looked directly at her eyes: "I know this is not enough for you to forgive, but ... I still hope you can accept my apology."
"Apology?" Charlotte sneered and said lightly: "I don't need your apology, and you have nothing to apologize. Here is Byrne. In Byrne, the winner does not need to accept any blame."
"What's more, just apologize? What will you do next time? You still don't care about other people's thoughts and gazes. You still don't care about what risks you are facing and what they mean."
The silent Laurent frowned slightly.
"You are no longer just a spellcaster, a wandering knight or wizard advisor, Loren Turin." She whispered: "It is no longer just your best friends standing behind you, but an entire principality."
"As the great prince of a country, it means that we can no longer escape or even go all out in the face of crises; the act of betting on life to fight seems to be brave, but it is the most irresponsible action for your people under your rule. "
"Yes, just like the Black Duke ... Roland Turin." Charlotte said indifferently: "As a benefactor, a Turin, I respect him and respect heroes like him. I can sacrifice lives to save the empire, even if You can fight to the last moment without being understood by everyone. "
"In this way, he is worthy of the name of Turin and is a role model for the Knight of Bion, but ... as the Duke of Bion, he hardly has any qualified place!"
"Obviously there are so many opportunities to resolve discord, and there are so many ways to resolve disputes, but they must choose the simplest and most prone to intensify conflicts; they must rely on war, duel, and show his heroic spirit. ; Never give any explanation, the end is not understood, and even the people betray their relatives! "
"Did he die by being vilified and misunderstood? No! He died of arrogance, arrogance, and his incompetence as a duke!"
"Such a hero, let me despise!"
Squeezing her lips tightly, Charlotte, who had a complex look, stood in front of the black wizard, with unscarred tears on her face, and gazed calmly at the black wizard:
"If you are willing to follow my advice, if you have not completely become the next" Duke of Black "... then try to learn how to become a qualified Duke of Byrne."
Although still indifferent, there was a hint of prayer in the faint tone.
The black wizard said nothing, but his mood was extremely complicated.
Should I confess to Charlotte?
If you do n’t say it, the ununderstood contradictions will only get deeper and deeper; but if you tell her ... will the consequences be more serious?
Has his decision already been expected by the "Black Cross" Serel?
"Snapped!"
The door was pushed open.
"Excuse me." With a steady pace, Charles's voice rang: "Count, and ... Duke Loren."
The atmosphere of death was instantly broken.
Loren and Charlotte immediately separated, and at the same time turned their eyes towards the steward of the Red Blood Castle.
"Charles, I didn't say ..."
"Special circumstances, Count." She interrupted her words softly. The dignified Redblood Butler stopped and glanced casually at the chaotic hall, the Countess with scattered tears, clutched in her hand Black wizard of crossbow arrows.
Frowning slightly, he concealed his expression: "Ten days ago, you told you that if Ebden's guests arrived, you must notify you immediately. If the Duke has returned, notify the Duke.
"Under the trade-off, I decided to execute the priority order."
Guests of Ebden?
A trace of confusion flashed through Loren's eyes ... he heard from Little Yoder that Charlotte was preparing to join forces with the Wizard Tower to resist the pressure from the church, but it was too fast.
"The joint with Ebden, we started to do it the next day you came out, and only a little result was achieved two months ago."
Charlotte, conscious of the black wizard's expression, sneered and ridiculed: "Why, don't we have to wait until Lord Duke gets into trouble and think of a solution?"
Loren coughed awkwardly: "So ... what do you say over Ebden?"
At this moment, Charlotte only took back the posture that the Countess of the Red Blood Castle should be, swaying, solemn and solemn, and generous: "Ebdon ... accurately it should be the nine-man star wizard tower accepted our invitation. And would be very happy to do so. "
"On the one hand, the prestige of the imperial prejudice and the blood sect have recently suffered a considerable blow to the reputation of the church. The wizard tower is suffering from the inability to seize the opportunity to expand their influence and influence;"
"On the other hand, the Duke of the wizarding class like you is still the first one since the twelfth generation ... Under the combination of the two, of course they cannot miss such a good opportunity, but ..."
"However, neither Wizard Tower nor Ebden can directly negotiate with Byrne on the bright side. The combination of the East and West Principalities is like tackling the bottom line of the Empire."
Charles took Charlotte ’s words and went on:
The covenant between the two parties can only be done in private ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and in some way that will not disgust the empire."
Loren strongly agreed with this point; after seeing the reactions of Brandon and Charlotte, he really could not continue to challenge the nerves of the Sky Dome.
"So, the wizard tower thought of some other, reasonable and more legitimate ways to promote bilateral friendship and exchanges; so even if the Holy Cross Church has objections, they can't blame anything on the bright side."
"For example?" Loren raised his eyebrows, looking at his expression with a bad hunch.
"For example ..." Charles paused again, staring straight at the black wizard:
"Choose a wizard consultant for you." ...
