Wizard From Afar

Charlotte, who looked a little cramped, didn't seem to have fully reacted from the "panic" she was found; she walked into the room with a "cautiousness" that completely disagrees with the usual Under the gazes of Loren and Ashmaid, he sat on the chair next to the sick bed rather uneasy.

"...Ashamai Master, I..."

"You don't need to be restrained or nervous." The old man leaning on the sickbed noticed the abnormality of the female count. A weak smile was squeezed from the gully face: "This is not a scourge, nor a person worthy of respect...just an old man who is about to enter the soil, but will not go to hell...haha."

There was a whimpering laughter from the bellows-like chest of Harinvan Ashar.

"No, no...it's not like this!"

Charlotte, with her lips lightly open, seems to have not come back to his senses, and grabbed the old man’s withered likeness. 'S arm could not help being slightly trembled:

"Loren...the Duke and others, they all told me--you did not fear to sacrifice and stepped forward and gave the monster named Chakal the Fatal One The attack gave us a chance to eliminate it and win this centaur war."

"Otherwise, before the arrival of the reinforcements of the empire, tens of thousands of Bayern-Boy coalition forces, Silver Helmets The dwarves of the mountains will be wiped out...you are their life saving benefactor and the hero of this war!"

Charlotte pressed the corners of her mouth tightly, and there were more fireflies in her pupils. Just keep your nose straight-like a little girl who is irritated and does not cry:

"I'm sorry...I should have come to see you earlier; like you deserve to be respected and admired. Elderly people, shouldn’t just succumb to such a quietly..."

The old man shook his hand slightly, interrupting the female count who wanted to continue to "confess his mistake".

"The fact that you are willing to visit me, an old man who is not worth mentioning besides age and experience, has moved me very much."

·Ashmai took a deep breath, the monotonous tone of voice seemed very weak, but he was still working hard to laugh out: "But since you have been standing outside for so long, I don’t need to make up words... repeat the opening remarks. Right?"

Charlotte nodded, choked slightly, but his eyes wandered a little.

The black hair wizard, who turned his head subconsciously, immediately felt that someone was constantly glancing at him.

"So... Honorable Count of Scarlet Blood Castle, what do you want to know from my old man?"

An old man who turned a blind eye to the two "little actions", Asked in a very soft tone.

"I..."

In the quiet atmosphere, the original rich and weird taste, under the calm and unavoidable gaze of Assama, it seems that it has become so no longer so. It's worth noting.

In the next second, Charlotte, who took a long and deep breath, lifted the head decisively, looked towards the old man with a very decisive look: "I just heard that you seem to be crazy about the black duke and The Dragon Queen and the others...very well?"

The old man's dim eyes blinked lightly, and looked at the still nervous female count, as if she was an apprentice asking her instructor.

"Yes."

Ashamai was slightly nodded, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared, like an old man in memory:

" I couldn't be more familiar."

Loren and Charlotte looked towards Ashmir at the same time.

"Even at this moment, they are still extremely real in my mind; death to them is just a different way of being." The old man’s pupils flashed something different. Luster:

"Roland and Charlotte, and..."

He had a sudden stop, smiling and looking towards the two with serious expressions with his bright eyes:

"Charlotte and Loren."

The two expressions were dumbfounded at the same time.

What do you mean?

What does he want to say?

The black hair wizard eyebrows raised, looking at the smiling Azama, his throat rolled.

The atmosphere seems to be a little unfathomable mystery...

"Charlotte Desalion, the tenth generation of the highest emperor of the empire, the Queen of the Dragon, a pair of art Obsessed, enthusiastic about war, obsessed with rebelling against fate, and hysterical in love..." The old man whispered softly, turning his calm eyes to Charlotte: "So... the noble Scarlet Castle girl Count, do you hate her?"

The ward filled with medicinal smell quieted down again.

"I...be, of course hate her!"

Charlotte, with a trembling voice, raised her chest with all her strength, and said this sentence: "If Not her, Byrne will not fall into three generations for nearly a hundred years! The Torino family will not be bullied; if it were not for her betrayal, the Black Duke would not end up like this!"

"She relied on the sacrifice of the Black Duke Roland Torino to win the monster invasion, but in the end she still put Roland in a separate book in the name of'apostasy', leaving the Torino family with an indelible shame forever. The original glorious history has become a shadow forever."

"She is a capricious villain, a traitor!"

"duchy, family, honor... I can't forgive her! "

The old man didn't speak immediately, he glanced at the black hair wizard who was talking but stopped, and he was slightly nodded.

"Yes, you have every reason to hate the culprit who made Torino down." Ashamed was nodded, his eyes never left the female count's body: "You hate She even changed her name to hers so that she would never forget this hatred."

Loren couldn't help but glance at Charlotte in astonishment.

The female count with an embarrassed expression opened her mouth for a while, seeming to want to explain her own reason, but she could not say a word.

"I'm just an old man. Whether it is love or hate, these feelings have already left me." The weak old man looked at her with a smile:

"But it seems that changing the enemy's name to one's own... is not a good way to get revenge."

"Master Azama, you, you must have misunderstood!" The female count hurriedly behaved I defended myself: "Charlotte is just a very ordinary Byrne name, and it doesn't have any special meaning! I changed my name only because...because..."

The old man who shook his head cracked his mouth. The smile "interrupted" her.

"Yes, you hate her...because you have too many reasons to hate her." Master Ashmaid said softly, "But the reason you are today is precisely because of this. The result under the influence of hatred."

"Dash on bravely with no thought of personal safety for the sake of the family, mediate at banquets and meetings, in order to reverse the situation, you can be alone in danger. I can make a decisive decision right now..."

"I almost... saw a living dragon queen standing proudly and gracefully in front of me!"

Loren quite agrees nodded.

I saw Harimvan Ashmael sigh with emotion, with unquestionable power in his calm tone:

"Yes, you hate her... positive Because of hate, you adore her—worship a woman who is bold and unruly, who can rule the empire by strength of oneself, and thousands of subjects bow their heads to acknowledge allegiance."

Charlotte did not try to refute.

The old man did not continue to force her to admit anything, but turned the topic to the Queen of Crazy Dragon.

"In fact, such a woman cannot be ignored and admired. In fact, even the nobles who were enemies of the Queen in those years admired the Queen’s faith." Mai silently recalled:

"She was the Guardian of artists and writers. The entire tenth generation created a variety of literary works and movements, more than the previous nine generations combined, and did not Restricted to religious and orthodox themes;"

"She signed the first exemption order for wizards, which gave all wizards in the empire complete civil rights; she handed over the ocean-going fleet to Egypt. Boden, the two countries of Sackland and Yasul finally have an opportunity to communicate;"

"It is precisely because of her absolute trust that the black duke Roland Torino can shine in the tenth generation. , Instead of falling into the struggle and confrontation with the Sky Palace like the previous generations of the Duke of Byrne;"

Ashamai's eyes flickered, opening the mouth and said faintly: "In today's It seems ridiculous to you, but before the tenth generation, Byrne's relationship with the Vault of Heaven... is not as good as it seems."

"Countless courtiers have warned Charlotte. Your Majesty Desalion, the excessive indulgence of Roland Torino will cause the empire to fall into a situation where the empire is divided between the North and the South-but she did not listen to it, and then there is the Legendary of the'Black Duke'."

The old man Sigh lightly.

"In that case..." Loren frowned slightly: "Then why in the end Charlotte...Her Majesty the Dragon Queen, still'betrayed' the Black Duke?"

" Because of what made the'Black Duke' bear the name of apostasy?"

Charlotte silently stared at the black hair wizard without making a sound.

"Master Duke, you asked two questions." Master Azama looked at him with a tired voice and meaningfully: "But I think I only need to answer your first question. "

Loren startled, subconsciously shrank the right hand back, forced a smile in embarrassment.

Under the clothes, there is the "Evil God Mark" that Asriel gave him.

"The situation at the time was very complicated, and I was not the person involved, so I could only explain this matter from the perspective of a bystander; if in short, the cause of the whole matter was..."

Ashamai's expression is serious:

"...because of love."

Huh? !

Two people dumbfounded at the same time.

Because of... love?

No, you won’t be sad?

Loren almost sang it.

"Master Azama, you...what do you mean?"

In the embarrassing atmosphere, Charlotte, with a slightly mottled cheek, asked calmly.

"To this day, I believe no one will doubt that the two of them once loved each other deeply-even back then. Everyone believes that their marriage will completely eliminate the empire. The hidden dangers of the civil war brought the two powerful families into one."

The old man did not answer, but continued to complain: "But obviously, even in those days, this idea was just wishful thinking— —Because the two proud families can’t bow their heads to each other."

"Got the Vault of Heaven...More precisely, Roland, who got the acquiescence of Charlotte, is constantly in the east and south of the empire. Conquering everywhere, leading the Knight of Byrne and Legion of Sackland to the World of Ice and Snow in Duanjieshan, battle after battle, triumph after victory..."

"You know What do these triumphs and victories bring besides glory?"

The two frowned slightly at the same time.

"To the Vault of Heaven...No, it is pressure on Charlotte?"

Loren tentatively said.

"Exactly!"

Nodded praised by Azamah: "The more extraordinary the performance of the black duke, the more brilliant the record; the more it highlights the powerlessness and power of the empire. Incompetence, the more the Dragon Wang Family clan was eclipsed."

"And the mad dragon queen who acquiesced and even condoned him, the pressure on him became heavier and heavier; so that in the end, he had to The vassals compromised and married the local nobles of Sacramento-they were worried that the union of Two Great Families would separate the noble class of Byrne from their power."

"I don't know the two of them. When did the cracks occur between people, but this incident is undoubtedly the first fuse." The old man’s tone became heavy, recalling the scene in front of him:

"And Roland· Torino... he still doesn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem, or because he felt it, he didn't stop—because he understood that everything was too late."

" What does this have to do with... and'love'?"

There was doubt in the bright eyes, and Charlotte couldn't help but ask.

The old man was lightly coughed and couldn't help laughing.

The black hair wizard squinted his eyes lightly...reminiscent of the "something and not" that the old man said before, seemingly unrelated memories and babbles...

He seems There is already an answer.

"It is precisely because of the two people's feelings towards each other that they are unwilling to openly confide in each other's burdens." The exhausted Ashamed's voice was soft, and the whimper became stronger and stronger:

"In order to protect Charlotte, Roland, who was gradually'rebellious and separated', chose to walk alone on the road to save the empire;"

"In the blind protection again and again, he changed Charlotte, who can't understand the Black Duke, has no choice. She must shoulder the responsibility of a supreme emperor-no matter what method she uses, she must protect her country and her family."

"Betrayal The prerequisite for each other... is once deeply in love."

The atmosphere in the ward is so quiet.

The emotional old man looked at a man and a woman with different expressions with profound eyes.

"...So, if the Black Duke chose to be honest with the Queen of the Dragon, instead of concealing everything to protect her without authorization, and betraying her trust in him..." Charlotte looked on Rin:

"Originally, all of this can be avoided, right?"

"I don't know, I'm just an old man who looks too much; I can tell you Yes, it's just my own personal experience." Achamai's expression became more and more tired, as if sleepy:

"But there is one thing, I can tell you with confidence... "

The two hurriedly raised their ears and concentrated attention completely.

"Hoo...Hoo...Hoo..."

Halinvan Ashamai, he...

was asleep.
