Leuven?

Looking at Yuli Wirtz's rightful expression, the black-haired wizard was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Of course, he had not forgotten the hot-blooded and reckless heir of Lothair, but if it had not been for the Duke of Ellemont mentioning, Loren would never have imagined that it was Ruben who suggested that Yuri Wirtz risk being assassinated, and that he must force himself to meet him.

"I have known Levin since I was very young, and we have been friends for many years, and although we have always been impulsive and reckless, we are very good at looking at people, or... Always stupid enough to trust others. ”

The young duke didn't care about the black-haired wizard's expression and shook his head slightly: "If my memories are not confused, 'If you want to find someone in the Duchy of Byrne who can be absolutely trusted, it is definitely not Loren Turin'... These are his exact words. ”

"Leuven, he thinks very highly of you, even as a dear friend—you may not understand how surprised I was when I learned about it. ”

The black-haired wizard was still looking at Yuri Wirtz in front of him with suspicion, of course he didn't understand, or he couldn't believe that such a thing that could only be done in knights could really happen.

“...... So, just because of Leuven's words, you are willing to gamble?" Loren took a deep breath and spoke in the voice as calm as possible:

"Even risking your life to step into a castle that could potentially cost you your life?"

"If Byrne had no intention of betraying the Empire, then I wouldn't have anything to worry about, and if there were, the 100,000 legions would slaughter all the rebels, and the dragons soaring through the sky would turn all of Byrne into a sea of fire!"

Yuli Wirtz looked at the black-haired wizard coldly: "It's not me who makes the choice, it's you." ”

"Really? Sorry for that... But it seems to me that your words are no different from the ones I just refuted you, just a play on words. ”

The black-haired wizard sneered, almost writing his disdain directly on his face: "Indeed, the counts of Byrne may be able to maintain the most basic sanity, but isn't there any knight in this city who would kill you, the imperial envoy, in a fit of rage, to vent his anger?!"

"You should be well aware of how much the people of this land hate him with the destruction of Byrne Cathedral and the incident of the Heresy Order, combined with the years of looting and oppression by that Governor of Gaspar?"

"Even if there are a very small number of people who do not resent him or even sympathize with him, if they want not to be targeted in the face of this great tide of counter-attacks, their resentment towards the empire will be more fierce than ordinary people!"

Taking a long deep breath, Loren, who frowned slightly, deeply felt the pressure brought by the other party, this duke, who was too young, was no less oppressive than Conod.

"So since you want me to answer your question directly, it's best that you don't go any further in circles. Slowly looking up, the black-haired wizard went straight to the point:

"Tell me, what is it that made you willing to risk your life in this Red Blood Castle?"

"By the way, I would like to remind you that it is best not to try to threaten me again, once exposed, you will die first, not me, and in front of the knights of All Byrne, your dozen or so guards will be like the ice and snow in the middle of summer, and there will be no trace left!"

"As for the accountability of Elemont and the Heavenly Dome Palace, whether Byrne will rebel or not, it will have nothing to do with you at that time - every knight in all Byrne should be happy to take responsibility for this matter, and the Red Blood Castle and the thirteen knight lords will deeply regret it at this time, your death will not change anything, anything!"

The voice was shocking, and for a whole minute, there was a dead silence in the carriage.

"Indeed......" Even though Loren was already so "impassioned", Yuli Wirtz was "serious" and serious, and could not even read a trace of emotion in his eyes except for the brief trance in which he had just mentioned Lusen:

"If I really die here silently, even if it causes irreparable consequences, it shouldn't change anything. ”

With his hands in front of him, the duke, with a straight face, puffed out his chest, and his slender body was as straight as the barrel of a gun: "Even if the empire comes to rebuke, the nobles of Byrne can excuse themselves and say that they don't know anything about this matter." ”

"After all, according to common sense, I should still be in Ellemonts right now... Coming to Byrne without permission is a very offensive act. ”

"In the end, the only one who will really blame Byrne is the Duchy of Elleman, and in order to appease Byrne's anger, I'm afraid that the Heavenly Dome Palace will also choose to sacrifice the interests of Elems, right? Even if Byrne really rebelled in the end, and 100,000 legions invaded Byrne... That, as you said, has nothing to do with me. ”

"Exactly. He said in a deep voice, and the black-haired wizard who was not to be outdone looked at him.

"But if you say the other way around... It also proves that there are indeed people within Byrne who intend to rebel, and even plan to use my death to force the rest of the people to submit?!"

Yuli Wirtz suddenly said in a deep voice, his silver-gray gaze as sharp as a sword: "Tell me, Loren Turin, which side are you on as believed by Ruwen?"

"House of Turin, which side is Charlotte Turin on?!"

Yuli Wirtz, who suddenly raised his voice, seemed to be questioning, as if he was forcing the black-haired wizard to make a choice, and his silver-gray pupils seemed to have pierced the black-haired wizard's heart.

The motionless black-haired wizard pursed the corners of his mouth, the beads of sweat on his forehead had fallen to the tip of his nose, and the joints of his index fingers were slightly white, trembling violently.

"The entrustment of my best friend, the fate of Byrne, and my personal life and death......" The Duke of Ellemont looked at the black-haired wizard coldly, and every word seemed to be bitten out:

"I've gambled on all of this, and I still can't get a truly neutral answer from your mouth?"

That's because you want more than just a reply.

You are trying to force me to have a showdown, force Charlotte to have a showdown, exchange the title of a duke for the Red Blood Castle against the whole of Byrne, and make the Turin family become the loyal lackeys of the Heavenly Dome!

You can't open your mouth, and once you say it, it's all over.

Holding the title of duke is the Heavenly Dome Palace, the royal family of de Salion, once the Turin family is hooked, they are not qualified to negotiate terms with them, and doing so is tantamount to pushing Charlotte into the fire pit, making her a duke who is spurned by the whole Byrne and is willing to drive for the Heavenly Dome.

Calm down, it's not time for this duel to end......

"The Turin family... Standing in the shoes that the Turin family should stand on. ”

Hearing this, Yuli Wirtz was slightly stunned, and then sneered contemptuously: "Word game, I began to have some doubts about whether Leven was really ......"

"If you really know Count Leven Fleet, you should know what I did when he first became Earl of Deepwood!"

Interrupting the young duke with an understatement, Loren calmly met the silver-gray eyes: "Although I have never been a vassal of the Red Blood Castle, I will never betray the Turin family." ”

"You want me to give you a neutral enough answer, yes, I can tell you now. The black-haired wizard shrugged and spread his hands casually:

"Indeed, as you know, the nobles and knights in Byrne are very dissatisfied with the Empire, and I have even received private information that some knight lords are planning a rebellion, and your head is part of their plan. ”

Yuri Wirtz had a cold look in his eyes.

"But will the Turin family betray the Empire... The premise is whether Byrne will do this, because the Turin family has always been one with Byrne!"

"Because of this, if the Empire thinks that as long as the title of duke is a condition, it can turn the Turin family against the whole of Byrne... This idea is ridiculous from the start, because Byrne's jurisprudence is already in Turin, and it has been the case since the knights of the Old Kingdom, and there is no prerequisite for the approval and coronation of the empire or the church!"

"So... If the Empire, if you really want to return Byrne to peace, to make this duchy prosperous again, and to be loyal to the Empire, please do not have this mentality of taking advantage of tricks; ”

Raising his eyebrows, Loren looked at Yuli Wirtz in front of him indifferently: "What do you think, Lord Yuri Wirtz? If you agree with me, then why don't you listen to the terms of cooperation I propose?"

"After all... Time is running out. ”
