Chapter 158: Instigation?

Christina's mind recalled the scene she saw in the dungeon.

The smell of blood that shouldn't exist seemed to stimulate her brain through her nasal cavity.

This made her feel a little difficult to breathe and her heart beat violently.

She shook her head, trying to get rid of this terrible memory, but it followed her closely like a shadow.

She felt her body began to tremble and her hands became extremely cold.

"What's going on?"

Krober, who was listening to Lucas explain the ins and outs of the matter, noticed that Christina was different.

He rushed forward, held her shoulders and began to shake slightly.

"Christina... Christina!"

"Damn it! Why is your body so cold!"

The moment Krober put his hand on his sister, he was frightened by the coldness of her body.

This was not the effect of fighting spirit or magic, but simply the slow blood flow.

"Quick, go prepare hot water!"

Otherwise, Lucas could be a viscount, look at his vision.

After seeing Christina's strangeness, he not only quickly recovered from his surprise, but also ordered his soldiers to prepare hot water.

Fortunately, Lucas ordered the kitchen to boil water when he learned that Krober was about to arrive at Red Crab Island, otherwise the water would have to wait for a while.

Krober looked at the shivering third sister and suddenly remembered that he was wearing a specially customized plate armor on this trip, with a red velvet cloak fixed behind the plate armor.

Krober decisively pulled off the cloak and wrapped Christian in it as a quilt.

"My dear sister, it's me, Krober, do you remember me?"

Because he was wearing a set of plate armor, Krober could not hug his sister to comfort her.

But this did not prevent Krober's voice from reaching Christina's ears.

"Klo... Klober? Is it Klober?"

After hearing Klober's voice, the screams in Christina's mind gradually disappeared, the bloody smell in her nasal cavity also disappeared, and even the blood gradually returned to its normal flow rate.

Her whole body became a little rosy.

"Oh, my God, Christina, my dear sister, what happened to you?"

Seeing Christina gradually return to normal, Klober's hanging heart finally let go.

It happened that the soldier sent by Lucas to get boiled water also came back at this time.

So Klober handed the boiled water to Christina, while calming her emotions, and asked her why she became like this.

"It's... so terrible. Father, my eldest brother, and my second brother were tortured by those people!

They had their teeth pulled out, their fingers broken, and even their fighting spirits dug out!

Why? Why did grandpa treat us like this? Aren't we mother's children?"

As she spoke, Christina burst into tears. She vented all the grievances and confusions she had suffered during this period in this way.

Krober held her in his arms and silently gave her his own comfort.

I don't know how long she cried. Christina only felt that her throat had become hoarse, and no tears could flow from her eyes. Even the boiled water in her hand had become warm.

Christina stretched her head and found the soldiers standing behind Krober. They all gently swept her position with some indescribable sight, and then instantly turned their heads to look in other directions.

"Didn't the Lord notice that we just peeked?"

"Shut up! Who told you to say it? Once you say it, the Lord will know it!"

"Shut up, everyone! Keep quiet! You've brought shame to Red Crab Island!"

"Oh..."

Knowing that so many people had seen her embarrassing scene, Christina, who had already returned to normal, instantly blushed.

She buried her head in the red cloak that Krober had wrapped around him, leaving only her long brown hair exposed to the outside world.

"Okay... Viscount Lucas, let's continue the topic we didn't finish talking about before."

Since Christina has returned to normal, Krober will naturally focus on what Lucas said.

"You mean, Lord Edwin Bronze Fury wants me to betray Grand Duke Veronica? In exchange, he will give me the title of earl and the corresponding territory?"

After hearing this condition, Krober almost laughed out loud.

"No, why did Duke Edwin think I would agree to his request, just based on his identity as a dragon knight?"

As an earth knight, Krober naturally had to have a certain respect for the powerful dragon knight.

But the request made by Edwin Bronze Fury was indeed too stupid, so stupid that Krober laughed.

And Viscount Lucas also smiled helplessly. He naturally knew how rude this request was, but since he accepted this task, he had to do his best to complete it.

To be clear, Viscount Lucas finally chose Bronze Fury between Bronze Fury and Red Gold.

Therefore, he would act as a lobbyist to instigate Krober on behalf of Lord Bronze Fury.

"Then, Lord Lucas, I would like to ask, if I reject Bronze Fury's request, will you declare war on me on behalf of Red Crab Island?"

Lucas took a deep breath. He knew that this matter was going in the worst direction.

Just as he was about to answer Krober's question, Krober's voice came to his ears again.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Lucas, your welcoming scene for me this time was a bit rude. I will report the record of this visit to Red Crab Island truthfully."

After listening to Krober's words, Lucas also touched his head in confusion.

What is he talking about?

Is it rude for me to go out and greet him in person? So what? I still have to kneel down for him?

Unexpectedly, Krober took out the letter with his appointment as the Prime Minister of the Court and placed it in front of Lucas.

"This... this!"

After seeing the content written on this piece of paper, Viscount Lucas was so scared that he trembled all over.

Not only because it recorded that Krober was appointed as the Prime Minister of the Court, but also because Grand Duke Veronica indicated that Krober was preparing for the war with the Duke of Edwin.

And this kind of information is highly confidential!

But why can Kroeber show it to him so easily now?

There may be two reasons.

First, Kroeber is stupid and gave him the letter to show off his status as the prime minister of the court.

Second, Kroeber is confident that he will not let him leak this information.

What kind of people will not leak information?

Very simple!

Dead people will not!
