Charlotte frowned slightly, deeply displeased with the Duchess. This was a naked threat.
Belisa took another deep breath, suppressing the tension in her heart, and said, "Please abandon the people of Silver Doveburg."
"The Duke's safety far outweighs Silver Doveburg. There is no point in you staying here for the overall war situation. Only by rescuing the Duke can this war be completely turned around."
"Mr. Mecklen, please put the bigger picture first."
Charlotte was a transmigrator and naturally felt detached from everyone in this world. But after fighting alongside the residents of Silver Doveburg for so long, he had developed a subtle and different sort of feeling toward them.
Asking him to abandon the people of Silver Doveburg to save some nobody Duke Joseph was simply absurd!
Wasn't that complete bullshit?
It was Charlotte's balls they were asking him to sacrifice.
Belisa was the Duchess's maid. Simple-minded, she had devoted her young life to serving the Duke's family. She felt that serving the entire ducal household outweighed everything else, and so she tried to persuade Charlotte by that same logic.
The young girl had originally thought that Charlotte would surely show deep emotion and demonstrate what true loyalty was...
Although Belisa was a maid, she had accompanied the Duchess to many of the most exclusive occasions. At countless high-society banquets, she had been a highly sought-after presence. More than a few young noblemen had even shown interest in her.
As a result, she believed that as long as she spoke up, it would be difficult for young men to refuse her.
It was an unmatched confidence built up over years of receiving the attentions of young men.
Charlotte gave only one reply: "I need to think it over."
He planned to have another stomachache tomorrow.
He would keep it
