Chapter 24: A Happy Life

"What about Sosa and Valette, Lord Count?"

“............”

Charles was being enveloped in warm affection when Lola next to him interrupted his thoughts.

"Sosa...... Dead ......"

"Where's Valette?"

"Dead ......"

"And what about the others? are the only ones left in the entire Knights of Lorraine?" Lola finally couldn't hold back her emotions, and her calm tone became agitated.

"They're all dead!"

Charles suddenly had a headache, he had now completely integrated and controlled everything about Charles Chevalier, so he also accepted the psychological shadow of this Lola.

Lola is Olive Guardian Knight, and in her eyes the most important person in the Chevalier family is Olive and no one else is in her eyes.

"Do you know, Lord Count....... What did you do?" Lola's mouth opened slightly, and her dark eyes were full of despair.

"Lola, we have been ambushed by the Sbayan Cavalry Regiment, and they are ...... for me All of them died in battle, and I will be responsible for their deaths, and as long as I live, I will get back what the Chevalier family has lost, little by little. ”

When Charles told the news of the destruction of the Knights of Lorraine, everyone around him was very alarmed, even his sister Olive stopped crying, but he had no choice but to draw a large pie in a solemn tone.

Lola regained her composure and looked at Charles so fixedly, and the others didn't dare to make a sound under Lola's momentum, and the atmosphere in the room became very awkward.

"What are you doing standing here? Don't you have anything to do? You lazy people, the Earl is back, and you don't go to boil the bath water, and you don't go to prepare the dinner?"

There was a whirring sound, and the people in the camp dispersed with a "coax", and Charles breathed a sigh of relief.

A man in a straight gentleman's dress ran quickly, his black top hat was lost, his well-trimmed gray hair was tossed and scattered, and when he ran to Charles, his face was already full of tears.

"Young Master...... Sir, you're finally back......"

"Roy, what did you just do?"

Seeing his housekeeper Roy, Charles became angry for no reason, and complained impatiently, if Roy was here just now, how dare Lola treat herself with such an "arrogant" attitude.

I used to be a young master, and it doesn't matter if you treat me badly, but now that the cheap dad has hung up, this young master has become a master, and the entire Chevalier family is my final say, and a female knight dares to shout at me, it's just too bad, and I must let her know how powerful she is in the future.

"I was in the back...... Took care of some things, it was Tassen who told me, and I found out that you were back, sir....." Roy carefully stood on Charles' side, patiently explaining, and tugging at his cuffs.

Charles's corner of his eyes glanced at a trace of red blood on Roy's wrist, and he immediately calmed down, "It seems that a lot has happened in the past few days, let's talk in the back." ”

Charles remembered something again, turned back to Bourne and said, "Oh yes, this is the knight Bourne I just canonized, arrange a place for them to live!"

"Okay!"

Roy didn't ask any more questions, nodded slightly at Bourne, even if they knew each other, and sent someone to lead Bourne, Gerson and the others down.

Ten minutes later, Roy explained to Charles what had happened in the Chevalier family in the past few days, and Charles realized that what he feared had happened, and it came faster and more violently.

Ten days earlier, Charles had left the Flensian capital of Nasser to avenge his father's death in Spair, and in the following days, more than a dozen nobles from the Lorraine domain arrived in Nasser one after another, and issued public statements making it clear that they would no longer be loyal to the Chevalier family and would instead be loyal to His Majesty Rosel I, on the grounds that with the death of the former Marquis of Lorraine, Bourman Chevalier, the Chevalier family no longer had a worthy heir.

These dozen or so nobles have exceeded seventy percent of the number of nobles in the Lorraine region, representing almost the entire noble group of the Marquis of Lorraine, if they really all choose to rebel, then the ruling base of the Chevalier family in the Lorraine region will no longer exist.

In desperation, Charles' sister Olive went to the House of Nobles of Florens, accusing them of violating the Law of Nobles, which had been passed down on the continent for thousands of years, and demanding that the House of Lords reject their declaration of betrayal.

However, the House of Lords rejected Olive on the grounds that she could not represent the Chevalier family, and Olive had no way to ask for help, so she rushed to Spaya to find her brother.

As a result, after arriving in Sbaya, the knight Freel who stayed in the camp also said that he wanted to break away from the Chevalier family and turn to the arms of the royal family of Florens, many soldiers in the camp were bewitched by him, Roy and Lola, after obtaining Olivi's consent, killed Freel and his cronies, and suppressed the rebellion within the family with blood.

Charles rubbed his forehead and whispered, "The House of Lords didn't veto their statement, but it didn't explicitly support them, did it?"

"Yes, my lord, the House of Lords will not openly support violations of the Law of Nobility, and as long as you are there, the House of Lords will make a fair ruling and punish those who are abominable betrayers. ”

Charles fell silent, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest of his chair, making a continuous "do-do" sound.

This is just a thinking habit of Charles, but in the eyes of Olive and the others, it is a completely different scene, and they only realize that Charles, who they haven't seen for more than ten days, is obviously different from before.

Although he is still so fat, his round face is a little silly, but he is no longer reckless, if it was in the past, he should have jumped like thunder to find those betrayers desperately, but now he is just thinking quietly there.

"Did the king accept their offer when you left Nasser?" After a moment of silence, Charles turned to Olive and asked.

"No, among the dozen or so betrayers, only Viscount Winzer, Viscount Cronin, Baron Percy and Baron Darrell are hereditary nobles recognized by the House of Lords, and the rest are all subordinate nobles canonized by our family, and the king does not look down on them, but His Royal Highness Wembley gave a banquet to those four hateful fellows. ”

"Then he should have acquiesced!"

Charles nodded, Wembley Augustine was the son of King Rousseff Augustine of Florens, and had been confirmed as the next heir to the king, and in some things he meant the king's will.

Olive was immediately anxious, she stood up and asked Charles eagerly: "What then, if the king accepts their submission, then the territory of Lorraine will definitely be recovered by the king, and you will not be able to inherit the title of Marquis of Lorraine......"

"If you can't inherit it, you can't inherit it!Olive you don't want to fight the king, do you?" Charles spread his hands and smiled at the anxious little girl, feeling relieved that it was good to have a beautiful sister with beautiful eyes, and there would be a lot of fun in life.

"No, I'll go to the House of Lords with you to complain, the king will not blatantly annex your territory and the ...... of your title"

Charles waved his hand and said lightly: "If I can't be a marquis, am I still an earl? ”

"Charles, our father taught us to defy power and defend the dignity of the Chevalier family to the death....." Olive bit her lip, her aqua blue eyes misty.

"Tell me, then, Olive that you would like your brother to die like a brave knight, or will we live happily as a family?"

“.......”

Charles stretched out his hands to Olive as the emotional little girl struggled for a long time, and finally obediently threw herself into her arms and began to sob.

"I'm sorry Charles..... As long as you live...... I'm willing to give up everything. ”

"No, I will let you live more noble and happy than a princess. ”
