Christina's mind recalled the scene she saw in the dungeon.
The smell of blood, which shouldn't have been there, 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 shake off the horrible memory, but it followed her like a shadow.
She felt her body begin to tremble and her hands became extremely cold.
"What's going on?"
Krober, who was listening to Lucas explain the whole story, noticed that Christina was acting strangely.
He rushed forward, held her shoulders and began to shake her slightly.
"Christina...Christina!"
"Damn it! Why are you so cold?"
The moment Kroeber placed his hand on his sister, he was shocked by the coldness of her body.
This is not an effect caused by fighting spirit or magic, but simply caused by slow blood flow.
"Quick, prepare some hot water!"
Otherwise, Lucas would be considered a viscount. Look at his vision.
After seeing Christina's strange behavior, 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 Kroeber was about to arrive at Red Crab Island, otherwise the boiled water would have to wait for a while.
Krober looked at his shivering third sister and suddenly remembered that he had come here wearing a specially customized set of plate armor with a red velvet cloak fixed behind it.
Krober decisively tore off his cloak and wrapped Christian in it as a blanket.
"My dear sister, it's me, Krober. Do you remember me?"
Because he was wearing plate armor, Kroeber 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 Krober's voice, the screams in Christina's mind gradually disappeared, the smell of blood in her nose also disappeared, and even the blood gradually returned to its normal flow rate.
The whole person became a little rosier.
"Oh my God, Christina, my dear sister, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Christina gradually returning to normal, Kroeber finally felt relieved.
Coincidentally, the soldier sent by Lucas to get hot water also came back at this time.
So Krober handed the boiled water to Christina, calmed her down, and asked her why she became like this.
"It's...it's so horrible. Father, my eldest brother, and my second brother were tortured like crazy by those people!
They had their teeth pulled out, their fingers broken, and even their fighting spirit seeds dug out!
Why? Why does Grandpa treat us like this? Aren’t we Mother’s children?
As she spoke, tears welled up in Christina's eyes. She vented all the grievances and misunderstandings she had suffered during this period in this way.
Krober held her in his arms, silently giving her his own comfort.
Christina didn't know how long she had been crying. She only felt that her throat had become hoarse, and no tears could flow from her eyes anymore. Even the boiled water in her hand had become warm.
Christina stretched her head and found the soldiers standing behind Krober. They all glanced at her with some indescribable gaze, and then turned their heads to look in other directions in an instant.
"My Lord, didn't you notice that we were peeking just now?"
"Shut up! Who told you to say that? The lord will know as soon as you say it!"
"Shut up and keep quiet! We've brought shame upon Red Crab Island!"
"oh……"
When Christina, who had returned to normal, learned that her embarrassing scene was seen by so many people, her cheeks turned red instantly.
She buried her head in the red cloak that Krobe had wrapped around him, leaving only her long brown hair exposed to the outside world.
"Alright... Viscount Lucas, let's continue the topic we left unfinished."
Now that Christina has returned to normal, Kroeber naturally has to focus his attention 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?"
When Krober heard this condition, he almost laughed out loud.
"No, why did Duke Edwin think I would agree to his request, just because of his status as a dragon knight?"
As an earth knight, Krober naturally has 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 it made Krober laugh.
Viscount Lucas also smiled helplessly. He naturally knew how rude this request was, but since he had accepted the task, he had to do his best to complete it.
To put it more clearly, Viscount Lucas ultimately chose Bronze Wrath over Red Gold.
Therefore, he would act as a lobbyist to persuade Lord Bronze Fury to rebel against Krober.
"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 heading 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 reception for me this time was a bit rude. I will report the records of my visit to Red Crab Island truthfully."
After hearing what Krober said, Lucas touched his head in confusion.
What is he talking about?
Is it rude for me to go out and greet him personally? So what? I have to kneel down before him?
Unexpectedly, Krober took out the letter appointing him as Prime Minister of the Court and placed it in front of Lucas.
“This…this!”
After seeing what was written on the paper, Viscount Lucas was so frightened that he trembled all over.
Not only did it record Krober's appointment as Prime Minister of the Court, but it also recorded that Grand Duchess Veronica had instructed Krober to prepare for war with Duke Edwin.
And this kind of information is extremely confidential!
But why can Krober show it to himself so easily now?
There may be two reasons.
First, Kroeber was stupid and showed him the letter just to show off his status as the Prime Minister of the Court.
Second, Kroeber was confident that he would not leak this information.
What kind of person would not leak information?
It's very simple!
Dead people won’t do that!
