Chapter 282 -132- "Breakup and Resistance"

As Charlotte's voice fell, Count Gaston, wearing a standard commander's armor of Bold, entered the tent.

Unlike everyone's impression of Count Gaston, although he still wore the standard lord armor of Bold today, he did not wear the emblem representing the standing army of Bold on his right chest.

Instead, he wore a shield-shaped emblem with two swords intertwined on his left chest.

Moreover, it was worn upside down.

Some sharp-eyed nobles soon noticed the emblem on Count Gaston's chest.

Heraldry is a must-learn etiquette for every noble, which naturally includes the family emblems of various famous families. As a noble of the North and a member of the Principality of Bold, the nobles in the tent are naturally familiar with the emblem on Gaston's chest and recognized that it was the family emblem of the Gaston family.

However, if the emblem is worn on the left chest, which is different from usual, and it is upside down... it is very interesting.

Heraldry upside down!

This is the way the nobles would wear it when they think the lord is unjust and choose to raise the flag to resist the lord...

By the way, almost all the nobles in the Castel rebels wear the family emblem in this way.

Some observant nobles soon discovered this detail, and the tent gradually became agitated:

"It's Count Gaston!"

"The emblem is upside down? He...he is going to announce a break with Bolder?!"

"God is above! What is going on?"

For a while, the nobles in the north were talking about it.

Count Gaston ignored the nobles' discussions and stood slightly beside Charlotte.

"Your Excellency Count Castel."

He saluted slightly and performed a noble etiquette to Charlotte.

"Your Excellency Count Gaston."

Charlotte also bowed in return and performed a noble lady's salute, and her movements were quite skilled.

This is just a formal etiquette after nobles of the same level meet.

However, few people noticed that when Charlotte bowed in return, Count Gaston made way without leaving a trace to avoid receiving this salute himself.

Not only that, he didn't raise his head until Charlotte finished returning the gift, like a servant waiting for his master.

Of course, no one could notice these obscure details, as all the nobles' attention had long been attracted by the explosive news announced by Charlotte.

"Lord Count Gaston, are you... going to resist the Third Prince's rule over Boulder?!"

Viscount Ryan-Castell spoke up and asked the doubts in the hearts of all the nobles.

After listening to the old viscount's words, Count Gaston looked at the northern nobles in the tent.

He looked around and said in a deep voice:

"That's right. As the husband of Lady Eleanor and the current Duke of the Principality of Boulder, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has been doing evil things since he came to Boulder. He not only suppressed local nobles everywhere, coerced and bribed them, but also set up all kinds of conspiracies to forcibly deprive the nobles of the Principality of Boulder of their titles by various dishonorable means..."

"He has long tarnished the glory of the nobles and is a complete tyrant!"

"Not only that, he even had dealings with the Blood Demon Cult, betrayed the glory of the Lord, and threw himself into the arms of the evil demon!"

As soon as these words came out, the nobles of the North were in an uproar:

"What? Depriving the nobles of their titles by force? Having dealings with the Blood Demon Cult?"

"Lord God! Is His Royal Highness the Third Prince crazy?!"

Even Baron Angus, who had always remained calm, changed his expression slightly and asked solemnly:

"Lord Count Gaston... are you telling the truth?"

Facing the doubtful eyes of many nobles , Count Gaston nodded slowly:

"Of course."

"Since I chose to resist, it was naturally because I found decisive evidence."

"Even this rebellion in Castel was supported by His Royal Highness the Third Prince behind the scenes."

"To be honest, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has long been determined to win Castel, and this rebellion is just the beginning. In fact, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has united with the Violet Principality and is preparing to divide the Earldom of Castel together."

"And I... my original duty was also to be a party to the war, to unite with the rebels when you fight against the rebels, and to turn against them..."

As he said, Count Gaston began to tell the Northern nobles about the Third Prince's various offensive plans against Castel...

As the commander of Boulder, the family that chose to be loyal to the Third Prince at the first time, he was very clear about the Third Prince's various plans. At this moment, he almost wanted to take off the other party's underwear, which made the Northern nobles tremble with fear.

Even Charlotte couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

I don't know if it's the effect of mind control and memory modification, the other party's story is more detailed than what he confessed to her at the beginning. I'm afraid that with Charlotte's control, he has "sincerely" regarded himself as a fighter against the third prince.

However, regarding the most sensitive part, which is also the most likely to make the nobles' resistance become logical, and even to gain the recognition and support of other lords, the so-called "collusion with the Blood Demon Cult", Count Gaston obviously didn't know more, and talked completely according to Charlotte's design.

There is no way, the crime of colluding with the Blood Demon Cult is too serious in the Crescent Kingdom. Even if the third prince really did it, he would definitely not tell others easily.

In the end, Charlotte only used the fact that she was "attacked by the Blood Demon Cult" when she met with Count Gaston to prove this matter.

This is actually a deliberate attempt to smear the Third Prince. After all, the so-called "Blood Demon Cultist Attack" was a play directed and acted by Count Gaston, but it was just used by Charlotte.

But Charlotte used it without any guilt.

After all... after confirming that the rebels really had the support of the Third Prince, combined with what Nice had seen and heard in the Legris family, Charlotte was almost 100% sure that the Third Prince must be involved with the Blood Demon Cult!

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince is ambitious and has already used all means to compete with His Royal Highness the Second Prince for the succession to the throne of An..."

"As the commander of Tulip, I was ordered to unite with the rebels to attack Castel from both sides."

"But as an old friend of the Castel family, I didn't want to do this, so I made an appointment with Lord Castel to meet at the border, wanting to warn him privately, but I didn't expect to be attacked by the Blood Demon Cult directly..."

"If Lord Castel hadn't been prepared, I'm afraid I would have been controlled by the Blood Demon Cult at this moment."

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince will definitely not give up until he achieves his goal, so after discussing with Lord Castel, we decided to pretend that I have been controlled by the Blood Demon Cult and continue to act according to the 'order'."

"In fact, it is to help you crush Castel's rebellion and expose the conspiracy of the third prince!"

"Everyone, after this rebellion, I am afraid that the third prince will soon formally declare war on Castel and take back Castel's title with a high-sounding reason."

"Not only that, as the richest territory of Borde, the third prince has always wanted to make Castel a direct jurisdiction and divide the territory among his confidants..."

"By then, the territories of your families will probably be in crisis!"

"Everyone, the third prince is definitely not a wise leader. My Gaston family is unwilling to associate with such a tyrant. For the future of Borde and the future of Crescent, we must resist."

I continued to clean up the house for a day. I didn't have time to clean up last week because I was on a business trip. As a result, I was lame again. Sad!
