The countess's voice was not loud, but clear enough for everyone in the hall to hear.

The crisp and melodious voice still echoed in the hall, and Charlotte was already seated, her sword eyebrows erected, her expression gentle but not majestic, and she broke the silence of the moment in a briefer way:

"Ladies and gentlemen... Let's get started!"

The twelve knight lords bowed slightly, their eyes focused on Charlotte's body almost at the same time, nervous, suspicious, excited, vigilant, and indifferent......

If there's one thing they have in common, it's that they're not very friendly.

The black-haired wizard sitting under the pillars looked coldly at the people in front of the round table, and looked at the countess who did not show any nervousness on her face and looked at them, her crossed fingers in front of her.

Come on, Charlotte... Let everyone see how powerful you are.

"All of you here must already know the reason why the Round Table Council is being convened again after many years. Charlotte looked around the hall, her sharp gaze sweeping over the faces of the twelve knight lords, starting with her right hand.

No one spoke.

It was silent, everyone remained as if agreed, and the dead silence of the hall was a stark contrast to the noise in front of the countess seated.

"Very well, since everyone already knows, I don't need to go into details. The countess said coldly, pressing the armrests of the chair with both hands: "Within three days, the mission of the Heavenly Dome Palace will arrive at the Red Blood Castle and read the final edict of the empire!"

Three days... The black-haired wizard raised an eyebrow, the corners of his mouth curled slightly in surprise.

"Archduke Ully Wirtz of Ellemont has accepted the invitation of the Reich as an Imperial envoy to this 'solemn' mission, and he will give a reasonable explanation on behalf of the will of the Celestial Dome in the case of the incident of Gaspar Vynn and the destruction of the cathedral;"

"And at the same time......" Charlotte slowly raised her head, and her tone became a little more solemn: "He will mediate for Byrne and elect a new Duke of Byrne from among us!"

Dead silence, suffocating dead silence.

And in the next second, the clamor of anger erupted almost uncontrollably in the hall!

The halls of the Red Blood Castle Palace were filled with fury and discontent that bordered on a torrent, and almost all the knights jumped straight from their chairs, roaring and arguing with red faces.

"Elect a new duke for us, what does the Heavenly Dome Palace think of us?!"

"They probably think that all the principalities are the same as Elems, the dogs of the Heavenly Dome Palace?!"

"The affairs of the Byrnes can only be solved by the Byrnes, and outsiders must not be allowed to interfere, especially the Empire!"

"But we do need a new duke, since the deposition of the Black Duke Roland......"

"Shut up, how dare you mention the Black Duke?!Have you forgotten who the person who betrayed him is?!"

"The Heavenly Dome Palace is not trustworthy, and De Salion is even less trustworthy, we must elect our own duke!"

...... The black-haired wizard under the pillars silently watched the knights' red-faced quarrels, as if only a loud voice could show how brave he was, how loyal he was to Byrne.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the knight lords sitting at the round table exchanged glances with each other, their expressions of nervousness, uneasiness or astonishment, and their pale cheeks, obviously they did not expect the Heavenly Dome Palace's reaction to be so rapid.

"Ladies and gentlemen——!"

In the midst of the uproar, Charlotte's high-pitched voice was as piercing as a sharp sword, and in an instant, the entire palace hall was quiet again:

"As the lords of the Red Blood Keep, the Turin family has undoubted loyalty to the Empire, and since the second generation of the Empire, six Turin family heads have served the Empire in the Broken Mountains and the Great Green Sea. ”

Charlotte paused slightly, and said in a deep voice with a majestic voice:

"But we will not bow to every order of the Heavenly Dome Palace in the same way - we are the Byrnes, the proud and ancient Byrnes, our Dukes, and can only be chosen by ourselves!"

"So... Ladies and gentlemen, that is what we are gathered here for a few days. Charlotte's sword eyebrows raised, and her sharp gaze swept over the knight lords in front of the round table again:

"We must nominate a duke before the Imperial envoy arrives, and he will negotiate with the Empire on Byrne's behalf. ”

"Battle... Whoever is elected by the Council of the Round Table, the Turin family will follow to the death!"

As the words fell, the countess, whose expression had calmed a little, returned to her seat and looked to the left and right.

The atmosphere in the hall began to become tense, and the black-haired wizard's expression became solemn again, staring intently at every move in front of the round table.

The knight lords who looked at each other didn't seem to have recovered from the news just now, and they were all looking at each other, waiting for the first person to speak next.

"Indeed, the time has come. ”

Tris Eckert, Count of Fort Fury, suddenly opened his eyes, and his voice was steady and powerful: "It's time for the Empire to reacquaint itself with the power of the Byrins!"

"The Knight Academy in Fort Fury was founded by the Knight King. Earl Eckert spoke slowly, his clear gaze met the countess: "Unfortunately, Count Charlotte, we are different from you. ”

Charlotte bit her lower lip, apparently not as calm as she had appeared.

"If the Council of the Round Table is entrusted with a non-human, the Fury Keep will no longer answer the call of the Council - and we will not be loyal to a second person except the children of the Knight King!"

A sonorous voice interrupted the silence for a moment, and the corners of Charlotte's mouth, who was extremely nervous, couldn't help but raise slightly, and while breathing a little sigh of relief, she looked at Count Eckert with a little more gratitude in her eyes.

"Well said, that's what I'm going to say!" cried Count Garnes Bouss, whose face was half torn by a scar, and slapped the round table very rudely under the gaze of everyone:

"Except for the descendants of the Knight King, who is qualified to let the Bowes family of Loyal Soul Fort guard the door for them?!"

"For the Castle of the Loyal Soul, the Turin family will never forget. Charlotte, who raised her head with her chest up, bowed slightly to him: "It is precisely because of you that the knights of Byrne can rest assured that they can go out on the expedition and fight bloody battles with enemies outside the country again and again!"

"When it comes to enemies outside the borders, no one should be more familiar with them than we are at Hopeful. The speaker was Count Bolino Bocival, who sat in his seat with a triumphant posture:

"Since the first generation of knight kings, every time we go out to the Great Green Sea, our Bosivar family is a well-deserved vanguard; the Black Duke Roland has gone on six expeditions before and after, my three grandfathers died in the Broken Boundary Mountain, and four knights surnamed Bosival buried their bones in the Great Green Sea; my grandfather himself was personally led by Duke Roland and rescued from the centaur mongrel!"

"It's the same with the Glory Tower!"

Count Ed Gerante, who was wearing a blue cloak, stood up directly and bowed slightly towards the countess: "Since the time of the Knight King, we have been vassals of the Turin family, and this is the only thing that has never changed. ”

"Of course, if some ill-intentioned people intend to use this opportunity to usurp a position that does not belong to them......" As he spoke, Count Geraint turned his gaze directly to his side, and coldly glanced at Count Rigrel in a red cloak:

"You don't need to do it yourself in the Red Blood Castle, the Glorious Tower will take the initiative to send troops to quell the rebellion for you!"

"The same is true of White Horse Peak!" Count Ambon Riggrell also got up, and unleashed his cloak to meet Count Geraint's eyes without backing down:

"If there is a small night, the knights of White Horse Peak are also willing to put down the rebellion for you!"

The two who were staring at each other snorted coldly, and at the same time turned their heads and sat back in their respective seats.

The dark-haired wizard under the pillars had a smug smile on his lips.

The lord of the Castle of Fury, Count Eckert, is the uncle of the captain of the Euron guard, so he is naturally the first to be wooed;

The Bosivar family of Qiaowang Peak, their war horse trade has always been affected by the Yode Chamber of Commerce, and the old Yode, who suddenly lost power, wants to keep his position, so he will naturally not be stingy to sell personal favors to himself;

As for the Loyal Soul Castle, White Horse Peak, and Glory Tower, the three counts are all northern factions, and they already have a natural affection for the Turin family; Success will come when conditions are ripe.;

It was only at this moment that Loren finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the feeling of relief finally freed him from the oppressive atmosphere.

Of the twelve, five have already taken a stand.

This game is a win!
