"Count, you have done something wrong!"

"Count, you have done something wrong!"

"Count, you have done something wrong!"

……

As soon as she closed her eyes, the words kept tumbling in Charlotte's mind, and it wrapped around Charlotte like a nightmare.

Charlotte opened her eyes, and the effects of the alcohol seemed to have only begun to evaporate until now, and he frowned with a headache, and gently tapped his forehead with his hand.

It is a detached house with the scent of trees. Outside the window, the sea of stars is brilliant, indicating that the weather is about to clear, the starlight spreads in the sea of trees, the night breeze blows, and the taiga rattles.

After leaving town that night, they decided to camp in the wilderness, and then built a villa by the woods and the sea.

The villa has three floors, with Charlotte, Neham, and Claire sleeping on the second floor, and Elbert, who was attacked, sleeping on the third floor with young people such as Brent. Charlotte tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and as soon as she closed her eyes, the assassin repeated the words in his ear.

That's a spell!

Charlotte spelled a glass of water and drank it as he sat on his bed and thought about what he had seen and heard that night. As Vivien said, Archduke Durali would not be stupid enough to assassinate Elbert in his country, and conversely, he absolutely did not want to see Elbert die in his territory, so that his suspicion would not be cleared even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

And it is even more logical that if Archduke Durally wanted to assassinate one of these people, that person would have to be Charlotte Clayderman. Charlotte is not only the heir to Icewind Castle in the North, but also the son of his sworn enemy Lawrence, and should be even more hated than Elbert by any means.

But the question is, look at the performance of those assassins!

They really wanted Elbert's life, and they really didn't dare to hurt Charlotte in the slightest. For this reason, the Assassin leader even did not hesitate to change his tactics on the fly, so much so that he made a series of mistakes and lost his life, which not only failed the mission, but also wiped out the entire team.

If that doesn't mean anything, then the phrase 'Count, you have done something wrong!' gives away a huge amount of information.

He called Charlotte an Earl with honorifics, was that what an Assassin would do?

So the answer is that this group of assassins is most likely not killers sent by Grand Duke Durali, but ......

Charlotte held her head down. After a long time, he rolled over and put on a fox fur cloak.

He paced back and forth in the room for several minutes, sighed, pushed open the door, and walked out.

He cautiously slowed down the stairs of the villa and strode upstairs to Elbert's room. After thinking about it, he knocked on the wooden door.

"Who? is Charlotte?" said Elbert's voice in the room.

- Did he guess it was me?

Charlotte sighed with mixed feelings, "Well, it's me. I can't sleep, do you want to go out for a walk with me?"

"Okay, wait for me. Elbert's voice sounded like relief.

Soon, there was a change of clothes in the room, and Elbert was also wearing a fur cape, pure white, and the Clegghorn family badge on the left shoulder of the cloak shimmered silver in the starlight.

Charlotte had a hunch of something, and he nodded at Elbert and walked down the stairs in silence to the outside of the house.

No sooner had they left the villa than the door to Neham's house was pushed open. Neham frowned and pushed the frame, and was about to go out when the wooden door next to him creaked.

"Leave it to them. Claire didn't sleep either, and he shook his head at Neem, "You should trust them." ”

"Elbert is no match for Charlotte. Neam said earnestly.

"You're no match for me either. Trust me, go back to bed, I promise that tomorrow's morning tea will not be missing anyone. ”

"I'm not trying to be Charlotte's enemy. I just don't want to watch ...... between peers"

"I know. Claire interrupted him, "I don't plan to be your enemy. As you say, we are companions, and Neham, you should learn to trust your companions. ”

"I'm sorry, you're right. ”

With two squeaks, the door shut.

In the taiga, Elbert followed Charlotte to a large clearing in the woods. Elbert looked up and broke the silence first, "The starry sky is beautiful tonight! I bet no one sleeps in the villa tonight." ”

After hearing this, Charlotte actually felt that all the tense muscles in his body relaxed, and he exhaled deeply and took out the bronze medal from his arms.

"You heard that, didn't you?"

Elbert was silent for a moment before he said, "Hear? no, but I guessed." ”

Charlotte turned around and tossed the bronze medal back to Elbert.

"Grand Duke Durally wouldn't be stupid enough to let an Assassin assassinate you in the realm of the country, with a bronze medal identifying you!" Charlotte said in a loud voice, "I deceived you, Elbert. In fact, the last Assassin said a word to me. ”

"Oh? What's that?"

"Count, you have done something wrong!"

"That's normal, you're the Earl of Wintercastle. As an Assassin, it's no surprise that he recognizes you. And you block their mission, and for them, you are making a mistake. Logical!"

"Don't play stupid there!" Charlotte interrupted him loudly, asking in a slow but steady tone, "you...... Are you really going to go to Erosa?"

Elbert's figure was hidden in the shadow of the taiga under the starlight, and the starlight struck his face through the needles, and the spots were flickering and flickering.

"Otherwise, I have been expelled from the division by His Majesty Emmanuel for the sake of the throne. Where else can I go but Erosa?" Elbert asked rhetorically in an indescribable tone.

"You can also come with me to Icewind Castle!" Charlotte gave her opinion, "Admittedly, Icewind Castle will not support you back to the throne, but I swear that you will get the best sorcery education there, and you will be able to continue your life as a mage." We can study together, explore the essence, and pursue the roots!"

"Thank you!" Elbert's voice choked a little, and he shook his head slowly, "but it's impossible, Charlotte. Cynthia and I are the only ones left in the Clegghorn family, and I am the last emperor, and it is my duty. Only Grand Duke Lawrence can help me revive my family, and I have no escape. ”

Charlotte couldn't believe it," ...... Is power that important?"

"Power is stinking shit!" Elbert clenched his fists and waved, furious like a boxer. But soon, he exhaled and said with a calm shoulder, "But responsibility...... But more than anything else. ”

"Even more than your own life?"

“…… Charlotte, I know that someone in Erosa wants my life, and that person could even be your father. ”

Now, Elbert said without hesitation, and at the same time stepped out of the shadow of the taiga. At this moment, the starlight hit him, and the clan emblem on his left shoulder glowed silver under the starlight, and the pure white cloak was dyed with the silver glow of the starlight, making him look like he was wearing a cloak woven of starlight. At this time, the courage and charm he possessed were no worse than that of Zoe that night.

His expression was solemn and his tone was resolute.

"But I can't leave Cynthia alone with this responsibility. In life, many times you will find that you can't make the choices you want most, but this is the real life! Thank you! Charlotte, if you really think of me as a brother, then help me protect Cynthia. ”

“…… I will. ”

"That's good! No matter what happens in the future, you're my brother for life! So, go back to sleep tonight. ”

Charlotte opened her mouth, and finally just said, "Good night!"

"Good night, Charlotte......"
