As Charlotte's voice fell, Count Gaston, wearing a Bold standard commander's armor, entered the tent.
Different from the Count Gaston in everyone's impression, although he still wears the Bold standard lord's armor today, he does not wear the badge representing the Bold Standing Army on his right chest.
Instead, he wore a shield-shaped badge with two intertwined swords on his left chest.
Moreover, it is worn upside down.
Some sharp-eyed nobles quickly noticed the coat of arms on Count Gaston's chest.
Heraldry is a must-learn etiquette for every noble, which naturally includes the emblems of various famous families. As a member of the Northland nobles and the Duchy of Boulder, the nobles in the tent were naturally interested in the coat of arms on Gaston's chest. The emblem was familiar, and he recognized it as the emblem of the Gaston family.
However, wearing the badge on the left side of the chest is different from usual, and if it is also upside down... it will make a lot of sense.
The coat of arms is upside down!
This is the way nobles will choose to wear it when they think that their lord is unjust and choose to raise a flag to resist the lord...
By the way, almost all the nobles in the Castel rebels currently wear their clan emblems in this way.
Some nobles with keen observation quickly discovered this detail, and the tent gradually became commotion:
"It's Count Gaston!"
"The coat of arms is upside down? He...he is going to announce his break with Bold?!"
"Holy Lord! What on earth is going on here?"
For a time, the nobles in the North were talking a lot.
Count Gaston ignored the comments of the nobles and came to stand next to Charlotte.
"His Excellency Count Castells."
He gave a slight greeting and made an aristocratic courtesy towards Charlotte.
"His Excellency Count Gaston."
Charlotte also bowed and bowed in return, making an aristocratic and ladylike salute, her movements already quite skillful.
This is just a formal courtesy after meeting nobles of the same rank.
However, what few people noticed was that when Charlotte bowed in return, Count Gaston gave way without leaving any trace to avoid receiving this gift himself.
Not only that, he didn't raise his head completely until Charlotte returned the gift, like a servant waiting for his master.
Of course, no one could notice these obscure details. The attention of all the nobles had long been attracted by the explosive news announced by Charlotte.
"Lord Earl Gaston, are you... trying to resist the third prince's rule over Boulder?!"
Viscount Leon Castell opened his mouth and asked the doubts in the hearts of all the nobles.
After listening to the old Viscount's words, Earl Gaston looked at the Northland nobles in the tent.
He looked around and said in a deep voice:
"That's right, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, as the husband of Lady Eleanor and the current Duke of the Principality of Boulder, went against the grain after coming to Boulder. He not only suppressed the local nobles everywhere, intimidated and lured them, but also set up various conspiracies to... Various disgraceful means were used to forcibly deprive the duchy of nobles of their titles..."
"He has already tarnished the honor of the nobility and is a complete tyrant!"
"Not only that, he even had contacts with the Blood Demon Cult, abandoned the glory of the Lord of God, and threw himself into the arms of the evil demon!"
As soon as these words came out, the nobles in the North were in an uproar:
"What? Forcibly depriving nobles of their titles? Associating with the Blood Demon Order?"
"My Lord! Is Your Highness the Third Prince crazy?!"
Even Baron Angus, who had always remained calm, changed his expression slightly and asked solemnly:
"Lord Earl Gaston...are everything you said true?"
Facing the surprised and uncertain looks of many nobles, Earl Gaston nodded slowly:
"certainly."
"Since I chose to resist, it was naturally because I found conclusive evidence."
"Even Castel's rebellion has the support of His Highness the Third Prince behind the scenes."
"To tell you the truth, His Highness the Third Prince has long been determined to win over Castel. This rebellion is just the beginning. In fact, His Highness the Third Prince has united with the Violet Principality and is preparing to carve up the Earl of Castel together."
"And my... original duty was also to be a participant in the war. When you were fighting against the rebels, I would unite with the rebels and turn against them..."
With that said, Earl Gaston began to tell the Northland nobles about the various attack plans of the third prince against Castel...
As the commander of Bold, he was the first to choose a family to be loyal to the third prince. He was very clear about the various plans of the third prince. Speaking of them at this moment, he almost had to pull off the other party's pants. Hearing this, The local nobles were terrified.
Even Charlotte couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
I don't know if it was the effect of mental manipulation and memory modification. The other party told her in more detail than what he originally confessed to her. Maybe it wasn't because of Charlotte's control that she had "sincerely" regarded herself as a rebel against the third prince. The fighter.
However, regarding the most sensitive part, the so-called "collusion with the Blood Demon Order" that is also the easiest to make the resistance of the nobles become logical, and even be recognized and even supported by other lords, Count Gaston obviously does not know more. Things are discussed completely according to Charlotte's design.
There was nothing we could do about it. The crime of colluding with the Blood Demon Order was too serious in the Crescent Kingdom. Even if the third prince had really done it, he would definitely not tell others easily.
In the end, Charlotte only proved this by using the fact that she was "attacked by the Blood Demon Cultists" when she met with Count Gaston.
This was actually a deliberate attempt to throw dirty water on the third prince. After all, the so-called "attack of the Blood Demon Cultists" was entirely directed and acted by Count Gaston, but was 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, and combined with Nice's knowledge of the Leglis family, Charlotte was almost 100% sure that the third prince must be involved with the Blood Demon Order!
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince is extremely ambitious and has resorted to any means to compete with His Highness the Second Prince for the right to inherit the throne of An..."
"As the commander of Tulip, I was ordered to join forces with the rebels and carry out a pincer attack on Castre."
"But as an old friend of the Castel family, I didn't want to do this, so I made an appointment with Count Castel to meet at the border. I wanted to give him a private warning, but I didn't expect that I was directly attacked by the Blood Demon Order. …”
"If Lord Castel hadn't been prepared, I might have been controlled by the Blood Demon Order 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, I decided to pretend that I have been controlled by the Blood Demon Order and continue to act in accordance with the 'orders'."
"In fact, I am helping you to crush Castel's rebellion and expose the third prince's conspiracy!"
"Everyone, after this rebellion, I am afraid that the third prince will soon formally declare war on Castel and take back Castel's title for high-sounding reasons."
"Not only that, as the richest territory in Boulder, the third prince has always had the idea of turning Castel into a direct jurisdiction and entrusting the territory to his cronies..."
"By then, the territories of all your families will probably be in crisis!"
"Everyone, the third prince is by no means a wise man. The Gaston family is unwilling to associate with such a tyrant. For the future of Boulder and the future of Crescent Moon, we must resist."
I continued to clean up my home for a day. I was on a business trip last week and didn’t have time to clean it up, but it happened again. Sad!
