"Impossible, I will never agree to this kind of thing!"

In the courtyard of the Red Blood Castle Palace, Charlotte, who had just heard half of it, immediately interrupted the black-haired wizard who was about to continue, and her domineering gaze could almost kill.

Loren, exhausted, rolled his eyes, the-for-tat confrontation made the atmosphere in the courtyard tense, the worried little wizard kept swaying between the two, not knowing how to persuade the two to reconcile, and Ariel Corona, who was holding a wine glass, seemed to not notice the quarrel, and all attention was focused on the wine in the glass.

Debating and taking sides is too complicated for the "cute" Ariel, and the only way she can support Loren may be to have his enemies physically destroyed.

"I said, there's no way around it... To deal with the Governor of Gaspar, it is necessary to defeat the Yod Chamber of Commerce first, and then ......" The patient Loren cleared his throat, ready to slowly explain to the countess what he was trying to do, and why he had to do it.

"No, it's not good!" Charlotte stood proudly with a stubborn expression that didn't care about anything: "Anyway, either you give up, or you just kill me - as long as I am still the Earl of Red Blood Castle, I will never allow this to happen!"

The countess's stubbornness made the black-haired wizard let out a long sigh and turned back weakly, the gray-eyed boy who should have stood up to support him at such a time was now facing Asriel with innocent eyes, a posture that would draw his sword at any time, and he had no time to deal with himself.

Only Charles, taking advantage of the gap between pouring Charlotte's wine, handed the black-haired wizard an equally helpless wry smile.

Loren suddenly felt a pain in his head.

He also learned about this after returning from the ruins, and in order to hold the United Chamber of Commerce and take control of the trade in the Red Blood Castle, Yod Jr. finally decided to give it a go.

He deliberately released a signal of reconciliation, tricked his father Roger to the United Chamber of Commerce and then came forward in person, completely angering the other party and making the other party feel a great threat... No one knows his Chamber of Commerce better than Little Yode, and once the United Chamber of Commerce has gained a foothold, it will be easy to destroy him!

There are only two paths in front of Roger Yord...... Either swear allegiance to Governor Gaspar once and for all, or fight to the death to drive the Coalition out of the Crimson Keep and even Byrne, and with what Yod Jr. knows about his father, he has no third possibility.

No matter how demeaning, sarcastic, and sarcastic his father may be, Yod Jr. must admit that he does possess unimaginable business acumen and survival wisdom - even the free aristocrats of Eboden did not do such a crazy thing as trying to use trading routes to control a principality.

It is precisely because of Old Roger that little Yod saw another possibility in this world, another possibility that can become a ruler who can control the life and death of thousands of people without the need for titles, bloodlines or even territories!

If the precedent of the Chamber of Commerce and the economic system and the Ebolden people is precedent, what really makes little Yode sigh is his father's survival wisdom.

Even after becoming the leader of the Chamber of Commerce, Old Roger still bowed down to the nobles, tried his best to flatter, and at the same time tried his best to pull out the last copper plate from their hands and turn it into the gold bond of the Yode Chamber of Commerce... Before winning the Byrne mining rights, the earliest capital of the Yode Chamber of Commerce was the "savings" of these lords.

Old Roger, who can do anything to keep the Yode Chamber of Commerce afloat, used to be the idol that little Yode worshipped... And the irony is that he now has to drag the idol off the altar with his own hands and smash it to pieces.

Everything turned out to be as he expected, and Gaspar betrayed old Roger...... Only five days later, the spies lurking in the Red Blood Castle broke the news that the caravan of the Yod Chamber of Commerce had entered the county.

Here's your chance.

There is no doubt that this caravan is the last hole card and capital of old Roger... As long as this caravan is raided and completely destroyed, there will be no possibility of the Yode Chamber of Commerce turning the tables before the Midsummer Festival, and even the status of Old Roger himself may be in jeopardy!

Old Roger is not a brave man, seeing the wind and steering the rudder is his specialty, as long as the Yode Chamber of Commerce faces the downfall, he will never fight to the end, then Gaspar will be an empty title of "Governor of Byrne", and it will be impossible to pose a single threat to the Turin family.

But the premise of this plan is that it must be in the territory of the Red Blood Fortress... Of course, Charlotte, who heard this reply, was completely "fried".

The previous Nilton and Cortez could still be understood as a necessary move to defeat the enemy, and besides, this group of people was the scum of the Red Blood Fortress, and it was still within her tolerance - but this raid on the Yod family's caravan was a complete and unscrupulous atrocity.

Charlotte Turin... She couldn't do anything about this kind of thing that would disgrace the ancestors in the land of Red Blood Castle.

..............................

The deliberations in the courtyard ended unhappily, and Charlotte, who was stubborn to the end, was unable to agree in the end - the "arrogant" countess still refused to give up her position.

"Crimson Bloodkeeping... Only the Red Blood Castle is not enough, the thousand-year-old glory of the Turin family cannot be tarnished, otherwise... I'd rather give the title back to the Empire than let the House of Turin lose the last of its dignity in my generation!"

"It's not a matter of interests and positions, it's a matter of principle, even if I'm crazy, Loren Torino... Only this is the only thing, and the Turin family must not be reduced to the same level as those despicable villains......"

At this point, even the little wizard could hear the pleading in Charlotte's "arrogant" words, which were almost like saying "I can promise you anything but this".

Pride does not mean rudeness, and Charlotte knew very well that if it weren't for this always self-righteous black-haired wizard, it would be impossible for the Turin family to ally with the Corona family, let alone regain their current position under the pressure of Governor Gaspar.

If it was just to protect the Turin family as an ally, he wouldn't have had to do so much... He was real, seeing himself as a member of the Turin family.

But that's all I really need right now...... The black-haired wizard shook his head with a wry smile and sighed tiredly and helplessly.

If Farnessc really gets ahead, it means that there is not much time left to delay... Even if he writes a letter to the imperial capital immediately and reports the truth of the matter to the Heavenly Dome Palace now, I'm afraid that most people except Brandon will think that they are crazy, right?

"Is there really only one way?"

The gentle steward of the Red Blood Castle stepped forward and asked worriedly.

The black-haired wizard didn't say a word, just shook his head solemnly.

Of course, he doesn't want to do it if he has enough time, and the consequences of losing credibility are also serious, and it can even become a lever for some people to take advantage of... However, there is not much choice at the moment.

"I understand......" Sighing with relief, Charles said slowly: "I will try to persuade her as much as possible on the Earl's side, you just need to do what you think is right." ”

"Oh?"

Loren raised his eyebrows in surprise: "I thought you would be on Charlotte's side, how ......"

"It's the Earl. Charles deliberately emphasized, and the next second he pursed the corners of his mouth helplessly: "Of course, I will always support the earl, but everything must be based on the premise of protecting her safety and status, dignity and credibility... Sometimes it's just a meaningless luxury. ”

"It would be better to say that it was now—it was better to keep the matter out of the Count as much as possible, preferably without her knowledge of it, and that it was all the work of those close to her. The butler smiled and bowed his head humbly:

"If you want to take responsibility, let me do it alone. ”

The black-haired wizard didn't speak, just bowed his head slightly in respect.

"By the way, although there is no progress on the information about the Blood Order, I still don't know where their true stronghold is, but... There's one piece of information that I care about. ”

Charles frowned slightly, his expression was very complicated: "The kid you brought back called Boots... He told me that he had seen two strangers from the north in a tavern in the lower town, and it seemed that they were also looking for the ruins of Brünnhilde......"
