Red blood castle is a fairy tale place for foreigners.


    Unlike the solemn and terrible castle like the military fortress of lottel, there are no thatched houses and muddy and dirty towns like saklan... On this prosperous land, there are only large villages dotted with manors and exquisite palace cities like handicrafts.


    In the back garden of the palace, I just woke up from my dream. Charlotte, dressed only in a light blue silk dress, leaned against the fountain, like waterfall''s long hair scattered around her shoulders, and the light of dawn painted a hazy color on the countess''s back.


    The summer dawn, the garden with blooming flowers, the sleepy Countess... No need to decorate, just the scene in front of us is enough to be painted.


    But at the moment, Charlotte frowned, and her cold eyes were not half sleepy. She stared at a courtyard under the hill facing the red blood castle... Governor Byrne''s house.


    When she just returned to the red blood castle, Charlotte did not expect that the situation had deteriorated into this appearance - she realized that she had left the Turin family without a leader, and governor Bain took the opportunity to take the city defense, control the lower city, and declare martial law in the whole city!


    The most troublesome thing is that the other side is well founded, and in name, governor Bain has the power to "control the whole territory of Bain"; A large number of nobles were killed and the murderer was at large. Of course, the other party was under the jurisdiction of the governor''s office.


    But in fact, the real purpose of these people is to overhead the Turin family, make the red blood Castle completely become the territory of the governor''s office of Bain, and even further expand their influence and power in the whole Bain!


    If he is caught, governor Byrne will become the true Duke of Byrne!


    The footsteps behind him gradually approached and stopped ten steps away; Charlotte looked back, a young boy with gray pupils, who was still young but had a pair of rigorous eyes, stood in place like a knight and bowed to herself:


    "Good morning, Countess Turin."


    "Good morning, Lucian." Charlotte nodded slightly, with a touch of closeness in her gentle tone.


    She also knows something about this grey pupil boy - the illegitimate son of the vilz family, the younger brother of Uli vilz, Duke of ellemans, the youngest flag leader of the imperial Legion and the escort of Loren Turin. It is said that the two have also arrived at the legendary Dragon King City together


    In short, for the precarious situation at present, Lucian is not only Charlotte''s rare helper, but also one of the people who can be trusted and entrusted.


    Of course, she also knows that the other party will be willing to help herself, entirely because of the black haired wizard... If the Turin family loses power, the result for Loren is also self-evident.


    "Have you heard from Loren?"


    "Not yet." Lucian shook his head and sighed helplessly. "On the imperial capital side, I only heard that his highness Brandon was chartered by his majesty to become a member of the Royal cabinet, but only the right to watch."


    "In addition... Little Yod, the successor of Yod''s chamber of Commerce, was killed at sea - only one warship under the governor''s name was found. There is no living person in the whole warship, but also no bones of little Yod. So far, his whereabouts are unknown."


    Well done... Charlotte''s eyes flashed a fierce look when she heard the news; The countess could only abhor the Yoder chamber of Commerce, the running dog of the governor''s office and the one who controlled the lifeline of Byrne''s economy.


    The grey pupil didn''t have any superfluous thoughts. He was only worried about the safety of Lauren: "however, since the emperor hasn''t spread rumors until now... That is to say, it''s possible that Lord Lauren escaped instead of being captured by them?"


    "It should be so." the countess nodded slightly.


    "I have sent an ambush around the red blood fort. This guy looks very special, so long as he enters Byrne, he will be discovered." Sherlock''s lips trembled two times, his eyes glinting sighing:


    "But according to his habit, I''m afraid he won''t take the main road, but cross the border directly from the wilderness... I''m afraid no one knows where this guy is except himself."


    Lucian was slightly stunned, but then he couldn''t help nodding... This is indeed in line with his impression of the dark haired wizard.


    Glacier wasteland, Dragon King City, Golovin... Lord Loren never seems to act according to the thinking of normal people.


    "By the way, ain Rand... How''s it going?" the countess suddenly asked. After noticing that the gray pupil boy''s expression was a little confused, she quickly explained: "don''t get me wrong... I just heard that he (she) has been staying in the laboratory recently and is a little worried."


    Although the alchemist never said it, the emotion of "concern" was never always expressed; The more people with delicate feelings care about something, the more they will deliberately pretend to be indifferent; But even how to hide it will reveal some flaws.


    The countess did not believe that the black haired wizard''s friend who cared so much would not care about his safety at all.


    "Your Excellency ayin has just been addicted to some research recently, so you don''t have to pay too much attention." the grey pupil carefully bypassed the topic and clenched his right hand behind his back.


    "Really?" Charlotte, who heard this reply, just raised her eyebrows and didn''t talk much.


    However, Snyder ran over early in the morning and didn''t ask these questions. At present, there are more urgent things to deal with: "the deputy governor of the governor''s office was killed yesterday, and the elite of more than a dozen patrol soldiers were killed in the hotel in the lower urban area!"


    "What?!"


    Charlotte was surprised at first, but then guessed what: "did vampires do it?!"


    "There''s no evidence, but it''s possible." the grey pupil nodded. "At least... That''s what they said."


    "Holy Cross, I thought..." Charlotte murmured in a low voice, but soon suppressed her voice.


    However, Lucian knew what she wanted to say and continued: "I think so about this matter... If the circumstances of this murder finally have an appearance, the governor''s office will lose the reason to continue martial law!"


    "You can take the opportunity to regain control of the lower urban area and urban defense, and ask the governor''s office to jointly review this event - you are the count of red blood castle, and you have the right to intervene in everything that happens on this land!"


    "I thought you would advise me to be patient." Charlotte raised her eyebrows. "Challenging governor Byrne''s power directly... Will it be bad for Brandon and your master?"


    "That''s the original..." Lucian shook his head: "this moment, that moment; there was no result for a whole month, which is enough to prove how incompetent the governor''s office is. Your participation now is to restore the peace of the red blood castle as soon as possible, not to fight for power and profit, and will not fall to any population."


    "Very good!"


    The expressionless countess was very decisive and immediately got up: "I will personally go to the governor''s house at noon today and ask them to give me an answer!"


    "If you don''t mind, come with me." Charlotte looked at the gray pupil boy: "as a guard, explore their reality for me... Can you?"


    "Of course!" Lucian nodded slightly and smiled. "It''s my pleasure."


    "Under..." Charlotte whispered these two words, looked at the gray pupil boy''s face and hummed gently.


    "Uh... What''s the matter?"


    "Nothing!" ignoring Lucian''s confused expression, Charlotte turned away.


    Worthy of being a passer-by, both master and servant are the same hypocrisy!


    In a moment of peace, a servant went into the courtyard and handed the envelope to the countess; Taking advantage of the moment when the servant left, the gray pupil boy with sharp eyes immediately noticed that there was a stamp of the governor''s house on it.


    Charlotte, who received the letter, was still a little confused at first, but when she saw the content, her heart suddenly stagnated, raised her head, and her eyes were full of incredible looks.


    "What''s the matter?" roussean, who noticed the countess''s strange appearance, tried to open his mouth and came forward slightly: "they''re threatening you or..."


    "No, it''s not a threat!" Charlotte''s eyes were a little distracted, but she covered up well: "a wizard from the imperial capital ran into some trouble outside the city gate and said he wanted to see me."


    "And... Black hair and black eyes, claiming to be Brandon de sallion''s wizard adviser!"


    Lucian was startled: "where is he now?"


    "Just outside the palace gate!"
