Chapter 301 -151- Disagreement
"Does the Earl intend to control the magic defense system himself?"
"Is she crazy? Even President Leighton can only barely control it. No matter how talented she is, she can't maintain the entire magic shield in this state!"
"She...what is she thinking?"
"It was she who had to maintain the shield with all her strength at the beginning, and now it is also her who is unwilling to weaken the shield. She...she is simply..."
"It's just nonsense!"
"Yes! Nonsense!"
"Sir Ryan-Castell, don't you want to persuade the Earl anymore?"
"It's ridiculous to still put hope in the gods!"
Outside the Mage Tower, the nobles talked a lot, and they could no longer hold back their dissatisfaction with Charlotte, and complained to Viscount Ryan-Castell.
Feeling the resentment of the nobles, Viscount Ryan-Castell also had a headache.
To be fair, he also felt that his lord's recent actions were simply incomprehensible.
You said you wanted to protect civilians, but you didn't consider that the full opening of the magic shield might lead to the collapse of the entire magic defense system of North Port.
You said there were reinforcements, but until now, she has never said when the reinforcements will arrive and how strong they are.
The nobles were all kept in the dark, they didn't know anything, and they didn't see any hope at all.
Seriously speaking, in the eyes of Viscount Ryan-Castell, this approach was simply consuming the nobles' trust in her.
He even had a feeling that even at this time, Charlotte didn't seem to fully trust them.
This also made Viscount Ryan-Castell very uncomfortable.
You know, the nobles of North Port have all expressed their loyalty to Charlotte on the banks of the Dorne River.
And being able to guard North Port together also shows that everyone really supports each other.
But the other party's approach is a bit chilling.
To be fair, doing this... is really easy to get into trouble.
If it weren't for Count Gaston's army stationed in North Harbor, if it weren't for those extraordinary suppressions, the old viscount felt that some nobles might have turned against him now!
Of course, although he was also dissatisfied with Charlotte's various practices, as a supporter of Castel, Viscount Ryan-Castell could only bite the bullet and clean up the other party's ass:
"Don't worry, everyone, the lord may have his own considerations..."
Of course, such an answer could not suppress the dissatisfaction of the nobles:
"Considerations? What considerations would she have? In the final analysis, she is just a 16-year-old child!"
"Yes! Viscount, I admit that the Count's swift and decisive means some time ago are indeed admirable, but this does not mean that she will not make mistakes!"
"Yes, the magic shield is an example, she sees everything too simply!"
"Viscount... Mistakes in war will be fatal! We can't gamble everything!"
"..."
The nobles talked and continued to complain.
From denying Charlotte's actions, to questioning Charlotte's ability, to pessimism and worry about the prospects of the entire war...
Not only that, some people are even discussing whether the third prince who attacked Castel can be trusted.
"Actually, I think... maybe the third prince is not as bad as the rumors say..."
"Yes, he is a royal noble after all. Could he really attack us after taking Castel?"
"Each of our families has deep-rooted power in Castel. If he forcibly deprives us of our titles, the North will definitely be in turmoil!"
"That's right, even the Earl didn't attack us, but only cleaned up those nobles who sheltered the blood clan!"
"..."
Listening to the increasingly outrageous discussions of the nobles, Viscount Ryan-Castell's expression changed and he scolded:
"Enough! What are you talking about?!"
"Even if the Earl is wrong, the Third Prince is not a wise leader. Have you all forgotten the news brought by Earl Gaston?!"
"Since we are here, we must work together to defend North Harbor!"
He glanced at the Mage Tower and said:
"I will talk to the Earl again and will persuade her to adjust her defense strategy."
"Everyone, go away, do your job and protect North Harbor."
"Don't worry, there's still time..."
After hearing the words of the old viscount, the nobles opened their mouths and wanted to say something.
But facing the unquestionable gaze of Viscount Ryan-Castell, they finally sighed and left.
Looking at the backs of everyone leaving, the old viscount frowned slightly.
Although he thought that the nobles would be dissatisfied with the lord's actions, the speed of this change was still a bit beyond his expectations.
Especially in the attitude towards the Third Prince.
The nobles' transformation seemed a little too consistent, which made it hard for him not to have some other associations...
Shaking his head, the old viscount turned and looked at the Mage Tower.
Take a deep breath, he said to his eldest son Derek beside him:
"Come on, go with me to meet the Earl and persuade her again."
However, just as the old viscount took a step, the eldest son behind him called him:
"Father..."
Leon-Viscount Castel turned his head in confusion, but saw his eldest son's eyes flickering and his face hesitant.
The old viscount frowned:
"Derrick, what's wrong?"
Derrick de Leon-Castell gritted his teeth and said:
"Father, I think... you trust Charlotte too much."
"Since Charlotte took the throne, we Leon-Castell have been used as a gun by her..."
"However, she has never brought anything to our family."
"Our family has done enough. I don't think she is a wise leader. Compared with her, maybe joining the third prince will..."
"Enough! Shut up!"
The old viscount's expression changed and he said angrily.
The pressure of the second level of Silver Moon was released, instantly covering Derek, and Derek's face turned pale and he lowered his head quickly.
The old viscount looked at him with a look of disappointment and said:
"Derek, remember, our family is Ryan-Castell, not Ryan!"
"Any family can betray the Earldom of Castell, but we...cannot!"
"This is the principle of our Ryan-Castell family!"
"Do you...understand?!"
After hearing the old viscount's rebuke, Derek lowered his head silently.
The old viscount sighed and said:
"Forget it, you go down first, I will go to see the Earl alone and persuade her to give it a try."
"The Earl has never maintained a magic shield, she certainly can't do it alone, when she tries it and knows how difficult it is, she should listen to our advice carefully..."
Viscount Ryan-Castell didn't finish his words.
Because when he was halfway through, he suddenly felt a strong magic coming from the direction of the Mage Tower.
The old viscount was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked towards the Mage Tower, only to see a blue beam of light rising into the sky, instantly "hitting" the shaky magic shield, and the next moment, the magic shield covering the entire North Port quickly stabilized.
Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, his expression full of astonishment:
"God... God Lord! This... She... She actually did it?!"
I want to explain.
Some readers said that they had never seen other people busy with weddings and ignore work. Indeed, most people can take care of both ends, but my situation is a bit special.
First of all, I am not full-time, but part-time. The time for typing every day is limited, and I am clumsy.
Then, starting from October last year, I passively took on a long-term special work task that often required business trips, which lasted until May this year, further compressing the time for typing.
In addition, the epidemic has accumulated a lot of tasks at our work. After the epidemic ended, work has been busy. The colleague who took the lead in the office got pregnant and had a baby again, and I took over the work of my colleague again, doing the work of two people alone.
Due to the epidemic and work reasons, the decoration of the house has not been completed. It is still being done recently and needs to be completed before the wedding.
Wedding-related work, because I was too busy before and trusted acquaintances too much, I didn't put enough effort, which led to the failure of the first wedding dress. The wedding company I found was also unreliable, and everything was started over again. This time it was a week ago.
My parents have not been in good health recently. They were hospitalized some time ago. I can't always trouble them. Moreover, my parents are in their hometown, and my wife and I are in the provincial capital. Many things for the wedding need to be decided by my wife and me.
My wife is busier than me at work.
The wedding will be held at the end of April, and there is still a month from now.
