Chapter 234: -30- Take him down!_3
For a moment, the originally harmonious scene suddenly became tense with hostility.
"Lord Remisio, it was her! She also slandered Lord Kode, accusing him of collusion with outsiders!"
"Lord Remisio, as you know, Lord Kode has always been diligent and is a major contributor to our Castel family!"
"This impostor not only killed him but also bewitched our Castel soldiers. You are a knight of the Kingdom, please stand up for our Castel family!"
The Senior Steward of the Mining Workshop wailed.
Upon hearing this, the onlooking crowd grew restless again.
The workshop steward was actually planning to call upon the Kingdom’s military to suppress the girl suspected of being Count Castel!
"This... the steward wants the Kingdom’s military to intervene?"
"Isn’t that a bad idea? Doesn’t this give the military a chance to interfere in the affairs of the Count Territory?"
"What is the steward thinking?"
"This is really troublesome now... It is said that Viscount Remisio is reckless in his actions, acting entirely on his likes and dislikes. Unless she can prove herself to be the Count immediately, I’m afraid she’s in danger..."
The surrounding crowd buzzed with discussion.
Among the miners, the old Werewolf Logan’s expression changed slightly.
His gaze fell on Noah and Luf, then carefully observing the still gracefully seated and incredibly calm Charlotte, his eyes flickered slightly.
After some hesitation, the old Werewolf Logan gritted his teeth and suddenly shouted:
"I... I can testify! She is the Count!"
"The Count came here incognito to investigate the truth behind the exhaustion of the Secret Silver Mine! That’s why she didn’t bring any other nobles!"
At the words of the old Werewolf Logan, the onlooking miners were taken aback.
Then, they instinctively stepped away from him.
For a moment, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the old Werewolf, even Viscount Remisio showed an interested expression.
"Logan! You traitorous scum! What nonsense are you talking about?!"
The Senior Steward’s expression changed slightly, cursing in frustration.
"Guards! What are you waiting for? Arrest this werewolf who colludes with outsiders!"
He commanded the guards again.
However, when the Senior Steward turned back, he was momentarily stunned.
The guards of Castel not only hadn’t moved, but they had also positioned themselves in front of Charlotte, watching the Kingdom’s regular army with a wary look.
"Raymond! Frey! What are you doing? Have you lost your minds?"
The Senior Steward shouted angrily.
The two guard officers glanced at Viscount Remisio and coldly said:
"Lord Steward, have you lost your mind?"
"Regardless of whether she is the Count or not, the affairs of Castel... should not be interfered with by other Kingdom Nobles!"
Seeing this, the old Werewolf Logan was invigorated and his courage grew:
"My fellow clansmen! That is Count Castel! The Count has come to reform the mines!"
"Follow me! Let’s assist the guards in protecting the Count! We can’t let the Kingdom’s military harm the Count!"
With that, he took the lead, bursting out of the crowd, and stood alongside Charlotte and the guards.
Following his lead, some sharp-witted miners also sprang into action, grabbing their mining tools and running towards the mine.
In a blink of an eye, the mining site clearly divided into two factions, creating a moment of high drama.
The Senior Steward of the workshop, watching the Castel Guards and the flock of miners quickly switching allegiance as the Kingdom army arrived, trembled and said:
"Rebellion... They’ve all turned against us!"
"Rebellion! This is a rebellion!"
"Viscount! These people have been completely deceived! Please help us, the Castel family, suppress these traitors!"
After hearing the words of the Senior Steward, Sebastian’s expression tightened slightly.
"Master, this Viscount... is probably one of their people,"
he said, watching the middle-aged knight with caution.
However, when Sebastian’s gaze turned to Charlotte, he found that her expression was still calm.
Not just calm, but the look she gave the middle-aged knight even held a trace of amusement.
Sebastian was slightly taken aback.
Then he saw Charlotte rise from her seat and walk forward.
The guards and miners blocking Charlotte hesitated, then stepped aside at her gesture, and after she reached the front of the crowd, Charlotte calmly looked at the expressionless middle-aged knight, and suddenly gave a slight smile:
"Viscount Remisio, long time no see; you still look as majestic as ever."
"After all these years, I wonder how Mrs. Camille’s health has been?"
Upon hearing Charlotte’s words, the middle-aged knight immediately narrowed his eyes.
His expression suddenly cooled:
"Take this person who has insulted the Kingdom Nobles into custody!"
Following Viscount Remisio’s command, the Senior Steward breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, he was shocked to find the Kingdom’s army soldiers pointing their swords at his neck.
"Lord... Lord Remisio?"
He stared at the middle-aged knight, a look of dismay on his face.
However, Viscount Remisio didn’t spare him a single glance.
The Kingdom’s army squadron leader gave Charlotte a slight bow and smiled:
"Count Castel, it has been many years."
