Tome of Blood

"Let go of me! Let go of me! What are you going to do? I am the envoy of Boulder! I am the envoy of Boulder! Are you trying to make enemies of the Duke's family?!"

Outside the Earl's Mansion, the envoy from the Earl of Tulip was tied up by the five flowers, with a terrified expression and kept struggling.

Behind him, a tall and burly sailor in black was holding him by the collar of his clothes, while grinning grinningly, he lifted him up like a chicken.

Beside the sailor, stood an old man wearing a black noble robe. He was stooped, his eyes were slightly closed, and he looked drowsy.

And behind the old man, seven or eight black-armored swordsmen who didn't look easy to mess with were lined up on both sides, waiting with their swords in hand.

They were expressionless, with a faint extraordinary aura exuding from their bodies, as if they were not close to strangers.

On both sides of the street, many citizens and nobles gathered to watch the excitement.

Some sharp-eyed people have recognized their identities through the iconic black lion family emblem on the black swordsman:

"It's a member of the Roman-Fore family!"

"They're here? And they're still making trouble at the gate of the Earl's Mansion? The one who was arrested is Bold's envoy, right? What are they going to do? Do they want to rebel?"

"I heard that only members of their family did not attend the aristocratic meeting a few days ago, but now they have tied up Bold's envoy. Are they crazy?"

"It's not really like the rumors, they have long been rebellious, right?!"

The crowd of onlookers talked a lot.

Seeing the people of the Romain-Fore family arresting Bold's envoy, some nobles who heard the news changed their expressions:

"Viscount Romain Fore?! What are you doing? Let go of Bold's envoy!"

"This is the Earl's Mansion. You arrested the envoy of the Principality to embarrass the Earl!"

The nobles angrily reprimanded the old nobles surrounded by black-clothed swordsmen.

However, the old noble still closed his eyes lightly, without even looking at them, as if he didn't take them to heart at all.

Only those black-clothed swordsmen swept over coldly, and the faint extraordinary aura on their bodies erupted in vain, and the strong pressure made the reprimanded nobles change their expressions:

"Enter... Enterer!"

Their momentum soon weakened, and they took a step back in unison, looking at the black-clothed swordsmen with nothing but fear.

When Charlotte, who was full of curiosity, came to the outside of the Earl's Mansion, this was the scene he saw.

She raised her eyebrows, looked at the Poulder envoy who was tied up by the extraordinary sailors of the Roman Foer family, and then smiled slightly:

"Your Excellency, Viscount Romain Fore, as soon as you came to Beigang, you directly engaged in such a scene at the Earl's Mansion. Do you need to give me an explanation?"

Hearing Charlotte's voice, the old nobleman who had been closing his eyes lightly opened his cloudy eyes.

With the support of his attendants, he saluted Charlotte tremblingly, and then said respectfully:

"Alfred Roman-Four...has seen the Earl."

"Master Earl, this person has malicious intentions and wants to deceive you with false news, so I will arrest him."

After hearing what the old Viscount said, the bound emissary immediately called out:

"No! I didn't! My lord! I am here to provide assistance on behalf of Bold!"

"Okay, put him down, come in and say something."

Looking at the yelling messenger, a faint red light flashed in the depths of Charlotte's pupils.

She glanced at the growing crowd around her and said.

"As ordered."

The old Viscount Romain Fore saluted slightly, signaling the sailors to put the messenger down.

Then, he led the swordsmen of the Romain-Fore family, escorted the messenger who was still bound, and followed Charlotte into the Earl's Palace.

Back in the chamber, Charlotte sat down on the lord's seat again.

She didn't even look at the envoy who was tied up by the Roman-Fore family, she just took the black tea with milk that Sebas handed over, sipped it gracefully, and asked with her legs crossed leisurely :

"Tell me, Your Excellency the Viscount, why did you tie up Bold's envoy at the gate of the Earl's Mansion the moment you arrived? And...why didn't you attend the noble meeting in the Earl's Mansion a while ago?"

Facing Charlotte's probing gaze, Viscount Roman-Fore remained calm.

He slightly bowed his head and said:

"My lord, in Castells, there is only one object of allegiance of the Roman-Fore family, and that is you."

"Except for you, no one in Castel will let Roman Foer bow his head."

Hearing what the old Viscount seemed to mean, Charlotte couldn't help but look at him more.

The old Viscount looked at her without squinting, but his cloudy eyes seemed to be filled with some inexplicable and inexplicable emotion.

Charlotte wanted to see clearly what kind of emotional gaze it was, but the old Viscount sighed first, lowered his head and sighed again:

"In any case, it's best that you are safe and sound."

"So... now that you have confirmed that I am safe and sound, can you answer my other question now?"

Charlotte asked.

Viscount Romain Fore nodded slightly:

"Of course, my lord count."

As he spoke, he took out a parchment scroll from his pocket, and presented it with both hands:

"Master Earl, please read this record first, we Castel may be in big trouble next time..."

record?

Charlotte raised her eyebrows, beckoning Sebas to take the parchment, and browsed curiously.

And looking at it, her expression gradually became serious:

"Your Excellency, Viscount Romain Fore, where did this record... come from?"

"My lord, I got it from a black market businessman of the Violet Principality. This person is a direct descendant of the current ruling family of the Violet Principality - the Bois-Lint family. Everything in the record...is true. "

Viscount Romain Fore said respectfully.

"Boit-Lint? A branch of the Boit family? As I remember, isn't the Boit family a blood feud with the Polder family? How could they get mixed up?"

Charlotte narrowed her eyes slightly.

Viscount Romain Fore nodded:

"Yes, the Buit family is indeed the blood feud of the Bold family, and the Bold duchy, the fiefdom of the Bold family, has a territorial dispute with the Bold duchy for hundreds of years..."

"However, the Buwat-Lint family that ruled the Violet Principality is different. Although the Buwat-Lint family is a branch of the Buwat family, they have another identity."

As he spoke, Viscount Romain-Fore looked solemn and said:

"They are the...mother clan of the third prince Philip."

"The mother clan of the third prince..."

Hearing this, Charlotte's expression became a little ugly.

"Master... what happened?"

Seeing the cloudy conversation between Charlotte and Viscount Romain Fore, Sebastian beside him was full of curiosity.

Charlotte glanced at him, and handed over the parchment in her hand:

"Here, see for yourself."

Sebastian took it curiously, and browsed the same. Soon, his expression changed slightly:

"What? The third prince plans to join forces with the Violet Principality to carve up the Earl of Castel?!"
