□ \soon count ludschou learned of count webos scheme.\

□ \the count lashed out, what do you know of life and death?\

Explanation:

1. The first option shows the count wants to bring back peace, implying he dislikes violence.
2. The third option has the count reacting with horror at a sword and asking if anyone was hurt, showing concern about harm (violence - related).
3. The fourth option has the count saying he doesn't want to fight in a war, directly showing dislike for violence.

The other options either describe actions of others, the count's land situation, learning of a scheme, or an angry outburst not related to disliking violence.

Answer:

• "Stay here, and worry not. I'll return at dawn. I will bring back a gift of peace."
• "The count stared in horror at the sword and said, 'Was anyone hurt?'"
• "He softened and said, 'It's true, but I don't want to fight in a war.'"
