Gaspar Vane, the governor of Byrne, is a middle-aged man who is difficult to impress.

The Doge had not even been informed beforehand, and had come with a team of Doge's palace guards, and for the Turin family, who were dignified Counts of the Red Blood Castle, such recklessness was tantamount to humiliation.

At the age of about fifty, with gray sideburns, cold and narrow eyes, and an abrupt hooked nose, plus three wrinkles on his forehead, he almost wrote the words "I am a bad person" on his forehead.

That cold expression, and the dozen or so heavily armed guards behind him, made the black-haired wizard feel that the other party was not good.

But even so, the other party is still the governor of Byrne under the jurisdiction of the empire and the nominal ruler of the whole territory of Byrne, and behind it is the majesty of the royal family of de Salion... Even Charlotte Turin was eager to have him torn to pieces, but she had to maintain a semblance of respect and hospitality.

Especially in the current situation... The countess, who was sitting in the main seat of the hall, puffed up her chest and barely squeezed a smile from her face: "In the name of the Red Blood Castle and the Turin family, welcome to your visit......;

"Your Excellency the Countess, I have made a special trip today, but I am not here to visit. ”

Interrupting the countess's words with a wave of his hand, Governor Gaspar, with a cold expression, stepped forward and looked directly at Charlotte's extremely cold gaze without concealment:

"Needless politeness and greetings are exempt, I'm afraid you don't have a good impression of me, a guest who suddenly came to the door!"

The smell of gunpowder in one sentence was already like substance, Loren frowned slightly, even if the two sides really reached the point of incompatibility, there was no need to make the atmosphere so stiff.

Is this no longer about causing trouble, but about preparing for a formal war?

"Then what do you want to do?" Charlotte's eyebrows already showed a hint of anger: "A reasonable request, the Turin family will never be stingy." ”

"Really?"

Gaspar squinted, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Charlotte's contemptuous look grew angry: "I heard that a foreigner from Ebonden assassinated the lieutenant overseer of the Doge's Mansion in the name of the House of Turin... As it happens, someone told him was right here!"

"Right now, the Red Blood Fortress is in danger, and you have the audacity to let an unidentified stranger enter your palace... Don't you think that's dangerous?"

The harsh words echoed through the hall, and the countess's expression became extremely ugly.

The atmosphere of slaughter is already tense!

Loren's expression flashed with a hint of surprise, he didn't expect the other party to actually come for him, and after a moment, the corners of his mouth showed a slight curvature.

No, the other party is still tempting, and his target is still the Turin family.

If Charlotte had handed herself over, the Turin family would have lost its majesty by this evening, and would have become a veritable "loner";

If she resists, it will be a confrontation with the Doge's Palace, giving them the pretext to suppress the Turin family - it is better to say that what the other party really needs is just an excuse!

"Your Excellency, you may have misunderstood something. ”

With a formulaic smile and a hands-behind his back, the black-haired wizard walked up to Governor Gaspar as he spoke, ignoring Charlotte's murderous gaze behind him.

"Bell ——!"

The clashing of blades echoed through the hall, and just three steps before Governor Loren walked aisle, five or six blades were placed around his neck at once.

A cold touch came from his neck, and the dark-haired wizard with an unchanged face chuckled softly, and looked at the indifferent governor.

"Misunderstanding? no... No misunderstanding. ”

Governor Gaspar stared at him coldly, "Who are you?"

Well, it seems that those people are not telling the truth ... Loren indifferently hooked the corners of his mouth: "I am the stranger from Ebolden in the name of the Turin family. ”

"Good, I didn't expect you to have the courage to stand up. There was a hint of surprise in Gaspar's eyes.

"But first of all, I'm not a fake, and although I'm remote, I'm a side branch of the Turin family. The black-haired wizard said in a deep voice, "Secondly, the murderer of the Deputy Overseer is not me, but someone else. ”

"It's not your turn. ”

With a cold snort, Governor Gaspar, who was determined to win, shouted: "Take him down and take him back to the dungeon of the Governor's Palace!"

"Bang ——!"

As soon as the words fell, a loud bang came from behind Gaspar, and the main entrance of the palace hall was slammed shut!

At the same time, there was a constant sound of footsteps and the clashing of armor and swords outside the door... Outside the windows on both sides of the palace hall, rows of Byrne knights can already be faintly seen.

The shocked Governor Gaspar stared at the door in disbelief, a hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes, and he looked back at the frosty countess on the main seat:

"Charlotte Turin... What do you want to do?"

"Isn't it up to me to ask you, Lord Governor?" Charlotte, who sat upright, gave him a look in return, her white hands clutching at the armrest.

"This is the Red Blood Castle, the domain of the Turin family... How can it be reasonable for you to come to my house and arrest people, and you don't even ask my opinion as the master, and you want to drink what I want to do?!"

"This is the Red Blood Castle, but it's also the territory of the Empire - I'm the Governor of Byrne appointed by Your Majesty, and it's only natural that the culprits of the murder should be apprehended!"

Governor Gaspar snorted coldly: "What, is there anything to explain?"

"Explain? I don't need to explain. The black-haired wizard curled the corners of his lips and shook his head with a smile: "This is just an obvious frame-up, Lord Gaspar; I just arrived at the Red Blood Castle yesterday and have no time to commit the crime; I have never met the vice-overseer of the Doge's Palace, nor have any motives for committing the crime; in fact, I wouldn't even know his name if he hadn't died." ”

"So please explain when and why I killed the Overseer, and what evidence I left behind?"

Gaspar's expression froze, and his gaze swayed in surprise.

"Yes, if there is any evidence, please make it clear, Lord Governor. Seeing Gaspar, who was forced speechless by the black-haired wizard, Charlotte's mouth also showed a slight smile:

"But if not... Please don't feel that the Turin family can be wantonly humiliated by outsiders!"

Governor Byrne clenched his fists, and his cold gaze fell on the black-haired wizard, with extreme contempt: "In any case, this Lord Loren Turin is involved in this murder... What are you going to do if I insist on taking him away?"

"You are the Earl of the Red Blood Castle, and I am the Governor of Byrne of the Empire, Lord Charlotte Turin, may I ask the House of Turin... Are you preparing to disobey?!"

The sword eyebrows were cold, the green tendons of the countess's clenched palm collapsed, and the forehead that was as white as fat was already covered with fine sweat.

It's not fear, it's anger, and Charlotte is trying her best to hide the anger in her heart... The other party humiliated her and the Turin family behind her so unscrupulously!

Gaspar has already said it so explicitly that even the last fig leaf is directly torn to shreds... There is no evidence, no reason, he is going to take Loren Turin from the palace of the Red Blood Castle to the dungeon of the Doge's Palace in front of him!

If you don't agree, you are disobedient!

The dozen or so governor's guards in the hall could not hear the slightest breathing, and the knights outside the door had their swords unsheathed, but there was not even the slightest movement.

Both sides are already ready to fly!

The expression of the Governor of Gaspar was ugly... He had only come here with a dozen or so guards, and if this madwoman really didn't care about anything, she would never have made it out of this hall alive.

At a distance of more than a dozen steps, he can kill the black-haired wizard in front of him and Charlotte sitting on it at the same time, but he will definitely die without a place to be buried!

Of course, Gaspar already knew what was going on with the death of the Deputy Overseer, and that guy from Nilton didn't have the guts to deceive him, and he knew very well who the black-haired wizard in front of him was.

It's better to say that it's because I know that I have to pretend not to know Loren's true identity... Otherwise, the other party is also an imperial viscount, and it will be difficult to catch him himself!

He just didn't understand why His Highness Connard de Salion would order him to catch this Loren Turin at the first time no matter what, and find a crime to get rid of him as soon as possible... Judging by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's tone at the time, this black-haired wizard might be a nuisance.

Most importantly, he is a close associate of His Royal Highness Brandon de Salion... If His Royal Highness Brandon and the Turin family ally and regain the title of duke...... For yourself, it's a catastrophe.

So... Strike first!
