85_85536 When he had said this, William evened his breath and said to Count Otto, "Write to me, father. Propose to Shalumi on my behalf. With that, he turned and walked in the direction of the door. When he reached the door, he paused again. And then he didn't look back, as if talking to himself, and as if he was announcing to Count Otto:

"After the autumn harvest and the first batch of funds are returned, the new army will add another infantry regiment and a cavalry battalion. ”

With that, William opened the door, stepped out, and closed the door again.

"......" For a moment, Count Otto only felt the pressure of suffocation pressing on him. left him almost immobile.

"It's terrible. He muttered to himself - he instinctively wanted to object before William walked out the door. But he couldn't speak—he wasn't an assertive, resolute man. In fact, Count Otto knew that he was not enough in this regard.

He was not fit to be a monarch. Yes. Indecisive, he is best suited to follow other people's orders. And execute. As a subordinate. He's loyal enough and he's capable enough. At the same time, they also have sufficient learning ability and execution. He is a very good subordinate candidate.

But as a monarch, he kills everyone.

So, although the current Hereford family is a "dualist" force. But in fact, you can really get ideas. It was William who really had the final say.

"Forget it...... This was originally the country that his son fought down. I say it, what is going on. Count Otto said to himself with his head tilted, leaning back in his chair, looking at the ceiling.

That's it, and after a moment's pause, Count Otto sighed, straightened up, and looked at the paper and pen beside the desk.

Since William wanted him to propose to the Grand Duke of Mazovia on his behalf, let it be.

So Count Otto began to weigh the words and prepare to write a letter.

It was at this time that this thought came to Count Otto's heart--William had said before that Elise and Charlumi, and he wanted both. But the problem was that even if William became Grand Duke of Mazovia, it was unlikely that he would be able to do so. Even King Vent was the same.

If that's the case, does he want to...... Wouldn't it?"

Thinking of this, Count Otto's heart was in turmoil, and a fear of the future, the unknown, haunted him, and he did not know what to do.

"An infantry regiment, a cavalry battalion. The expansion of the army was close to two thousand. What does he want to do?" thought of the Count of Otto immediately afterward.

To expand the army, it is natural to prepare for war. To prepare for war, it is natural to fight. Who was William going to fight, and how was he going to fight? Count Otto knew that his son had always been bold. He only had 2,000 men in his hands, and when he had one county, he dared to let go and annex three counties. Now he will have a full 5,000 new troops in his hands. So what is he going to do next? Who is his goal, what is his purpose, and where is he going to go?

In fact, Count Otto had vaguely thought about some of these questions before. I just didn't think about it deeply. It's just that this time, because of this letter from Archduke Leschek, William's feelings got out of control, and in a fit of rage, he even said something like attacking Krakow. This surprised Count Otto. When William was gone, Count Otto thought in his heart. I just think that although William is talented, his courage is really boundless.

But then again. Even so, Count Otto was helpless. Yes, he had nothing to do - he could certainly lock William up in the name of the head of the family and his father.

But what next? Lock him up for the rest of his life, even kill him? Marry another woman, as Archduke Lesek said, and then have a new heir?

How could that be? Count Otto could not have done anything like that anyway.

"Forget it, forget it...... After all, this life is to be used as cattle and horses for children and grandchildren. If the Hereford family really had that destiny, it would be the best. If not...... That's ...... Alas......"

That's it. Count Otto had very mixed feelings when he wrote the letter. And after leaving the study, William's mood could not be calmed down.

"What about Charlumie?" asked William at the door, the servants.

Miss Charlumie went back to her room. The servant replied.

"Hmm. William nodded. Then he walked towards Shalumi's room. He had mixed feelings. How should I explain this to Charlumi after meeting her, and what should I do? Or ......

In this way, William arrived at the door of Charlumie's room and knocked lightly. After Charlumi asked who it was, she coughed lightly.

"William. Charlumi didn't hesitate, she immediately recognized William's voice. Then he opened the door. William then walked in.

"Your face is a little ugly, are you angry? because of the letter?" said Charlumie, looking at William.

"Hmm...... Well. William replied casually. Then he turned around and closed the door.

"You...... It's weird. William's unusual behavior and behavior made Charlumi inexplicable and a little scared at the same time: "What's wrong?"

William didn't answer her, but turned around and looked at Charlumi: "Charlumi." He called Charlumi by name. Then he opened his arms and hugged Xia Lumi tightly.

"Eh, eh, William?" was taken aback, and instinctively tried to push William away. I pushed it twice, but I didn't push it. After that, Xia Lumi didn't push it.

She was surprised why William had done so suddenly. Was it stimulated by something? Or was it dissatisfaction with the previous letter? Or was it some other reason?

All in all, Charlumi did not resist. In fact, she has long thought that she will definitely marry William, and she has no reason to resist. Opposite. If William had been a little more gentle, Charlumi might have been happy in the opposite way.

"You...... Can you trust me, Charlumie?" William let go of his hand slightly, then stared straight at Charlumi. Asked while looking at it.

"I ,......" After a pause, Charlumi nodded very seriously: "Well, I believe you...... But what happened, did you quarrel with your uncle?"

"Nope. William shook his head, then replied. He let go of Charlumi, then took Charlumi's hand, walked to the edge of the bed, and sat down. After pondering the wording, William decided to tell Charlumi the matter as it was. From the very beginning of meeting Princess Elise, to the time spent alone for a few days, and then to the end, the agreement between the two people.

While William narrated, Charomeian listened quietly. Didn't speak the whole time, didn't ask anything more. She listened quietly to William. After William stopped talking, she only asked lightly: "Is it over?" and then didn't say anything else.

"Hmm. William had thought that Charlumi would be angry, would make a lot of noise, and even beat himself.

But Charlumi didn't do that. She was very calm. But it was because of this calm that William felt worried, and he felt afraid.

"Originally...... It's nothing...... Elise is a princess. Moreover, it is beneficial for us to marry with the Trieste family...... So, so ......"

Charlumi's voice was relatively normal at first. But more and more trembling, trembling. After talking about it, I couldn't go on.

She burst into tears.

So William hugged her again: "Don't do that, Charlumie. As soon as you cried, my heart was disturbed by your crying. Don't do that, Charlumie. William said this as he reached out to hug Charlumi again.

But this time, Xia Lumi resisted fiercely: "Didn't you say that you wanted to marry that princess? Then what do you care about me?

She cried as she spoke—but, of course, William couldn't let her go.

"Not so, Charlumie. Listen to me—"

"I don't listen, I don't want to listen. You liar, bastard—"

Soon, William judged the current situation. Now it is impossible to make Charlumi understand his mind just by talking. That is, something else needs to be done now.

Thinking of this, William pushed Charlumi down on the bed. Then, despite Charlumi's fierce resistance, he kissed her on the lips.

At the beginning, Charlumi still wanted to push William away. But after a while, she felt weak and couldn't move.

In Charlumi's room, the two of them kissed together fiercely. Rolling around in bed at the same time...... If it weren't for the fact that William still had a scale in his heart, then it would not be impossible to misfire......

After a while, the two were reluctant to separate. Then he sat back on the edge of the bed. After this period of cooling, Xia Lumi was no longer very angry. Of course, this does not mean that Charlumi will approve of this.

"So, what do you want to do?" said Shalumi, still in a low tone.

"I'm not going to be fine, Charlumie. William reached out again, trying to take Charlumi in his arms. This time, Charlumi didn't resist.

"I'll be good to you. Charlumie. William replied, "I'll figure out how to deal with Elise's affairs." I won't be sorry for her. But I won't be sorry for you. ”

“...... Well. Xia Lumi nodded and smiled again: "I believe in you." With that, Charlumi smiled again, she looked at William with an expectant expression, and then closed her eyes again.......
