Gently push open the plate, Charlotte with some tired color on her face leaned lazily on the back of the chair, but her eyes couldn''t help lifting up, and then sank down angrily.


    The black haired wizard opposite was half lying and half sitting on the recliner with a relaxed face. On his left hand, there were unfinished snacks and wine. On his right hand, he turned over the scroll just sent by the court manager Charles, and his face was filled with a leisurely smile.


    Outside the window are flying snow and silent courtyards, frozen ponds, and red blood Castle turned white in winter, a world wrapped in silver;


    Inside the window are silk curtains and carpets painted with various patterns, prosperous fireplace and fluorescent chandeliers as bright as day, soft beds and sofa chairs, and heavy wool blankets.


    Cold and hot, light and dark, only separated by a wall; Looking at the snow outside the window, enjoying a beautiful afternoon tea in a warm room, lazily and leisurely spending a short afternoon and a long night, and then enjoying the bacon and hot soup at dinner, it is indeed in line with the style of a standard "Byrne aristocrat";


    But there is one problem


    "This is my room."


    I don''t know how long it took, Charlotte finally said, "if you want to have afternoon tea, please go to the restaurant or go back to your own room!"


    "The dining room is too big, and it will take a long time for the fireplace to heat up." Lauren, curled up comfortably in the wool blanket and holding up the wine glass, said slowly:


    "As for the Duke''s bedroom... I gave it to Isaac."


    "Why?"


    "Because he... Well, to be exact, Lina desallion wants to enjoy a time together without being disturbed - in the whole red blood Castle palace, only the Duke''s bedroom has an independent bathroom, cloakroom and small restaurant."


    "So after careful consideration, I think I should make such a small sacrifice for my friend... You see, in fact, your bedroom is also large, and there is no problem sleeping with two people..."


    "Don''t get off the subject." the countess interrupted with a cold face:


    "Answer me, why do you have to come to my room?"


    "So busy trying to drive me away?" Lauren was surprised and his voice trembled. "You''re so tired of me that you don''t want to see me?"


    "Twice at a time doesn''t matter, of course, but the problem is all day and all night... And don''t use that tone as if I had done something to you!"


    Charlotte groaned angrily.


    Since half a month ago... More accurately, after the ceremony, Lauren has been in a quite "decadent" state, lying in bed or sofa day and night, dealing with everything listlessly, and enjoying the banquet and every afternoon tea listlessly.


    This lazy posture is really a bit of "Baron style", which is also a routine routine of Byrne aristocracy.


    But just because it was too "normal", it was very abnormal to appear in Laurent Turin - only to see Dalton kand on the rainy day, which seemed to restore him to his former state, and then continue to be "decadent".


    Dinner, afternoon tea, visiting the garden, or just sit there and sit idle all day; Only think about three things a day - what to eat for breakfast, what to eat for lunch and what to eat for dinner.


    And recently there is a trend to intensify, began to rely on their own room refused to go!


    This guy, after all


    "Actually... There''s no special reason." slowly, with a listless expression, Loren put down his glass and took the little cherry from the dessert plate with a fork:


    "I just occasionally want to experience what it feels like to live leisurely rather than fight on the front line of life and death."


    In a word, the countess''s doubts and grievances accumulated for a long time dissipated.


    Centaur war, dwarf civil war, assassination night of red blood castle, envoy to fog moon court, battle of eboden


    After getting the title of Duke, the guy didn''t seem to be really free and enjoy everything that a lord of Byrne should have.


    Even if the present leisurely life is not as good as the average value of Byrne''s "decadent aristocracy", it is nothing compared with those drunken Knight kings in Byrne''s history. Why do you feel so disgusted?


    Is it really because you are too harsh? Charlotte was full of strong remorse.


    The black haired wizard who didn''t notice the change of the girl beside him still sat on the bench and tasted the fragrance of cherry in his mouth, making the sweet and greasy taste completely spread in his mouth.


    Probably because of the honey stain, the original aroma of cherry was completely covered and sweet teeth fell off - of course, it was not considered by Duke Bain that the fruit in May and June could be eaten in winter.


    "Suddenly I want to eat pickled ham."


    The lazy dark haired wizard whispered.


    "OK, I''ll get the kitchen ready." Charlotte whispered, "light the fireplace now. The restaurant should be warm at dinner."


    "Don''t go to the restaurant, it''s here." the black haired wizard continued to ask.


    "... yes." after a moment of hesitation, Charlotte agreed: "it seems good to have dinner watching the snow."


    "You''d better close the curtains. You can''t see anything at night." the black haired wizard continued to test.


    The countess nodded, "that''s right. Let''s start preparing now. We have to make room for the table."


    "I''m not going to get out of bed today." the black haired wizard began to intensify: "anyway, it''s just the two of us, and we don''t have to pack anything."


    "But there are only two plates under the dessert plate and bedside table... We want to eat with them?"


    The countess began to doubt.


    "It doesn''t matter." the black haired wizard smiled and looked up with a natural look on his face:


    "You feed me."


    The voice fell and suddenly became much quieter.


    Obviously, the fireplace is burning well, but you can still feel the temperature in the bedroom drop a bit.


    The countess who did not say a word got up slowly, calmly walked to the wine rack behind her, gently stroked the fine wines she had collected for a long time - the dusty bottle bodies, and even felt the passage of time.


    "Call -"


    At the moment of the dark shadow, Loren almost instinctively completed the three movements of vigilance, dodge and block; When I returned to God again, I had a wine bottle in my hand.


    "Don''t push an inch there, asshole!"


    Charlotte, who had been silent for a long time, finally roared like an explosion.


    "Hey... I''m kidding. Don''t take it seriously!"


    "The devil believes you!"


    "Well... It seems that only Ayn likes to say it."


    "Not from now on!"


    "Then you must let me explain?"


    "You''ll lie to me, and Ayn, and everyone!"


    "Isn''t that exaggerated?"


    "Yes!"


    "Then how can you believe me?"


    "Again, the devil believes you!"


    Tight lipped Charlotte panted, looked at the empty wine rack behind her, and looked at the whole row of neat wine bottles placed in front of the black haired wizard.


    "What on earth are you thinking... Do you really have nothing to do, or do you have something else to do?"


    "There''s nothing in the picture..." with a slight smile, the black haired wizard sat up and looked at her seriously: "I just don''t want to regret what I have to say."


    "Regret, regret what?" Charlotte turned her head and bit her teeth. "Regret promised me... Right?"


    "No."


    "What''s that?"


    "In fact, I can''t say very well. I just have this feeling."


    Lauren smiled, scratched her head, shrugged her shoulders, and never looked away from Charlotte''s face:


    "I''m afraid I''ll regret... I just promised you."


    The silent Charlotte looked back slowly and looked at the dark haired wizard.


    "I hurt a friend for some reason before - I didn''t mean it, but objectively it was me." he twitched his throat, and Loren hesitated:


    "He... Is a little like you to some extent. He regards some things as more important than himself, even beyond the meaning of his life and existence. I don''t quite understand..."


    "Only you don''t understand!" Charlotte said coldly.


    "Therefore, after hurting him, I understand more how much you sacrificed for me." Loren said seriously:


    "At the thought of his expression at that time, I''m glad that you didn''t look like that. At the same time, I regret that after you promised, you just made a trivial compensation of ''commitment''."


    An inexplicable emotion began to spread in her heart - the dark haired wizard in front of her seemed no longer as real as before, and became an illusion that could disappear at any time. It was only because of her own memory that she could stay in front of her.


    Inexplicable pain, purely out of fear of loss.


    The desire before getting it, the feeling after getting it is no different from that before, and after getting it for a period of time, he starts to worry about gain and loss


    Not only him, but also himself is so simple to be a little silly, but very complex and tangled


    The smile of self mockery spread uncontrollably around Charlotte''s mouth.


    "Dong Dong Dong!"


    The hurried knock on the door broke the peace in the bedroom and made them look back at the door at the same time


    After an interval of ten seconds, Lucian, hiding behind the door, tried to open the door a little, glanced at it, and walked into the bedroom with confidence after confirming that it was correct.


    After a "accident" of Loren and the little wizard, Lucian became very careful about opening the door, even to the point of being too cautious.


    Every time I look at his posture, it seems as if something really happened in the room


    "The information from the sky Palace should have been in the charge of Carl Colin, but because you never left... The bedroom, he handed it over to me."


    The explanation of the grey pupil boy made Charlotte blush and couldn''t help humming coldly.


    "The information of the heavenly palace..." Loren lowered his voice, carefully glanced at Charlotte, repeatedly confirmed that the other party would not attack, and then turned to look at Lucian:


    "Is it a battle on the front?"


    Lucian nodded and handed the letter in his arms; The black haired wizard opened the letter, and Charlotte couldn''t help coming up.


    At the beginning, it is still information about lottel.


    After deciding to enter the solid defense, the lottel army in Shenlin castle and the Azores elves army gradually assembled opposite entered the confrontation stage; The enemy''s strength is increasing every day, and a steady stream of materials are sent from the direction of the fog moon court. It is inferred that the enemy has also been reinforced.


    However, with heavy snow blocking, the enemy did not dare to attack rashly, but just organized and drove away a different number of Ogres to test the defense of Shenlin castle.


    To organize such a number of Ogres, Lu Wen of the front line inferred that there were two possibilities - either the ancient wood elves heading south had suffered an accident, or because a large number of ancient wood elves migrated and drove these ogres out.


    Lu Wen and the elves left by the morning star forest are more willing to believe the latter.


    To Loren''s surprise, this time, Lu Wen did not recklessly continue to fight after his failure, but chose to be patient to train the army. The morning star Forest Elves served as instructors, so that lottel''s soldiers gradually became familiar with the differences between themselves and the elves.


    The two sides of shenlinbao confrontation seem to have entered a "very tacit understanding" state. They are constantly gathering troops and raising materials, waiting for a formal showdown when their strength reaches its peak.


    On the other side of the eboden battlefield, the situation seems to be much worse.


    With sufficient logistics and resources in eboden City, the elf Prince rodriya Azor who guarded eboden city almost constantly launched exploratory raids on the imperial fortress blocking eboden, trying to seize the control of the gem River;


    Although each attack was repulsed, the imperial defenders suffered heavy casualties, but they did not let the enemy pay too much price, and even gave the enemy enough time to take paoze''s body and weapons back;


    After this situation lasted for many times, the Archduke of ellemans, Yuli weltz, who was responsible for the imperial defense, dared not continue to organize any small army to fight with the Azores, and paid more attention to building more and stronger fortresses and advancing towards the city of eboden.


    At present, the effect is not obvious.


    "... so our emperor Connor finally couldn''t wait and was ready to leave before the end of winter?"


    After reading the letter, the black haired wizard made a general summary.


    This letter was sent from the sky palace. In other words, it was what connord wanted to see - the front-line battle was not going well. On the contrary, he was not ready to wait and let the battle continue "not going well".


    "The heavenly palace means to make Byrne ready as soon as possible and urge the principalities of Arles and Boyi to assemble their troops." Lucien repeated completely according to his memory:


    "His highness connord''s Legion has assembled and is waiting for orders at the gem river ferry - they will officially leave when Byrne''s army arrives."


    "Gem River... So he''s still going to recapture eboden first?"


    "No, your highness connord is going north. The enemy appeared north of duanjie mountain when the news came from the fortress of duanjie mountain."


    Grey pupil boy''s expression is serious:


    "This time, it''s the eagle king."
