-166- The missing baron

Violet's actions are still quite fast.

Perhaps it was because of the failure of the war that the situation within the Violet Duke began to become somewhat unstable, and the Violet Duke was quite efficient in fulfilling the contents of the treaty.

Less than half a month after the negotiations between the two sides, Violet delivered the first batch of supplies to Castel to buy extraordinary equipment, and one-third of the ransom was added with the supplies.

In addition, the contract documents on Baron Better and relevant documents on the transfer of Baron Better were also sent to Beigang.

From this moment, Baron Better was actually ceded to Castel by Violet.

A week after Castel and Violet signed a peace treaty, the envoy from the royal capital also arrived in North Port and brought two important news.

First, five of the nine dukes of the Crescent Kingdom have jointly appointed three princes and 28 other vassals and nobles directly under the kingdom, and applied to the noble parliament and the kingdom court to convene a central meeting to discuss the legality of the inheritance rights of Philip de Valva, the third prince of Crescent Kingdom who blatantly violated the "Sacred Code" and the "King Contract".

It is obvious that with the failure of the war, the third prince had lost the support of most nobles. King Louis V wanted to use the third prince to weaken the power of local nobles and strengthen centralization, but was also attacked by the nobles.

The messenger brought news that the Central Committee of the Kingdom will be held in the capital in a month and a half, and Castel also needs to attend as an important representative.

Secondly, King Louis V issued an edict to restrict the three parties of Bold, Violet and Castel to end the war within a week and return to peace.

Of course, the order for the armistice was a bit late, and Castel and Violet had already had a talk a week ago.

On the other hand, after Eleanor was captured and the expeditionary army was destroyed, the war had actually ended, and all that was left was post-war negotiations.

"Mr. Boottle-Lint, the war is over, and you can leave here with the Violet Knight."

In the Earl's Mansion, Viscount Len Castell said with a smile as he looked at the Earl of Lint who was under house arrest.

Earl Lint, sitting cross-legged on the bed meditating, slowly opened his eyes, and was silent for a long time before saying:

"The negotiation... is over?"

"Yes, it was over a week ago. Violet has sent you a ransom, and you can leave here."

"What is the ransom...?"

"2.43 million Quintana, and extraordinary materials with a price equivalent to 20 million Quintana, of course... this is for soldiers, other nobles and enchanting equipment. As for you, the Count's offer is Baron Belt."

Viscount Len Castell said.

"Did Baron Belt receive it..."

After hearing what I said, Count Lint looked complicated.

He closed his eyes gently and let out a helpless sigh.

Viscount Len Castell continued:

"Mr. Booth Lint, the capital has already heard that the Central Conference will be held in more than a month to hold the third prince Philippe accountable for his crimes in the Boulder-Violet War."

"This war is essentially the act of the third prince Philip. You should be very clear about how the third prince is and what he did to Lord Eleanor..."

"We have mostly heard of your name. You are a real knight. The Count said that he hopes that at the Central Conference more than a month later, you can stand up and expose the guilt of the third prince."

After hearing what I Viscount was saying, Count Lint was silent.

"Of course, whether to stand up is your freedom. The Count just hopes that you can do this. You should be very clear whether the third prince is suitable as the heir to the throne."

Viscount Len Castell added.

A long time later, Count Lint sighed:

"Let me... think about it..."

“It’s natural, there’s still some time before the meeting, and you have plenty of time to think about it.”

I said with a smile.

After saying that, he looked at the time and bowed to Count Lint:

"Master Bouvat-Lint, the knights of the Earl's Mansion will take you to join the Violet team next. I will report to the Earl, so I won't be with you."

After speaking, I turned around and planned to leave.

"etc……"

Count Lint suddenly stopped him.

"Mr. Boottle-Lint, do you have anything else to say?"

Lao Viscount asked.

Count Lint hesitated for a moment and said:

"Please tell His Excellency Castel that Baron Belt is... a vassal worthy of recruitment."

"He is an excellent commander and a real knight."

After hearing his words, Viscount Len Castell raised his eyebrows slightly, but he did not expect that, as the heir to the Boottle-Lint family, he had such an evaluation of the last bloodline of the Willet family.

"I will, but... Baron Belt has been missing for many days. Some soldiers said that they saw him being cut off and fell into the Dorn River that night, and it must have been unexpected."

Recalling the news that he discovered two days ago, Viscount Len Castell said.

After hearing what I Viscount was saying, Count Lint opened his mouth and finally sighed:

"Maybe...this is fate."

...

After Violet handed over the contract document, Count Lint and the first other captives were released.

During this period, Castel did not abuse these people. At most, he only let the captured soldiers work as laborers for several days, cleared the remains of the North Port War, and built the city walls.

As for the nobles, they were actually placed under house arrest and served with delicious food and drink. For the winners, these people were walking Quintana.

"Have you sent him away?"

In the aristocratic lounge of Beigang Church Hospital, Charlotte asked while sucking sweet milk gracefully.

She came to the church hospital today to see Eleanor.

Although Eleanor's mental state improved a lot with her comfort, he was still too stimulating after all and needed care and treatment.

In this regard, the Holy King Court is better at it than her.

So, these days Eleanor has been receiving healing from the priest Lotti at the church hospital.

And today is the last treatment.

"Yes, Lord Earl Lint has been brought back by Violet's men, but he did not make it clear that the third prince's crime would be revealed in the Central Conference more than a month later."

Viscount Len Castell said respectfully.

"It's okay, he is not the only witness. It's better if you have it, and it doesn't matter if you don't."

Charlotte said indifferently.

"By the way, Count, before leaving, Earl Lint said a few words, wanting me to convey you."

Viscount Len Castell hesitated for a moment and said respectfully.

"Oh? What did he say?"

Charlotte was a little curious.

"He said Baron Belt was a vassal worthy of solicitation, an excellent commander and a true knight."

Lao Viscount replied.

"Barl Belt..."

Charlotte chewed on the name and pondered:

"If I remember correctly, a few days ago, there was a report that the baron had fallen into the River Dorn missing?"

“That’s true.”

I nodded.

"I have recorded this matter. Let's talk about it when there is news. The battle that day was quite chaotic, and there were not many missing nobles. There was no news after so many days. I guess it is likely that I have encountered an unexpected situation."

Charlotte said.

As she said that, she seemed to have thought of something, she asked again:

"By the way, what's the situation in the north?"

The viscount said respectfully:

"The war in the north went smoothly. Our army had advanced to the last direct territory of the Leglis family. The support of Viscount Roman Forre and the mercenary group had also arrived. I believe that the rebellion would be completely quelled soon. But..."

"But what?"

"However, there were some problems near Beigang. There were too many defeated soldiers who fled that night and had not been arrested. In recent days, they have attacked towns more and more frequently, causing great trouble to the nobles and the lords..."

Charlotte frowned:

"So long has passed, and no few deserters have been arrested?"

Seeing that Charlotte was dissatisfied, I quickly lowered my head, and sweat oozed out of my forehead:

"I have arranged for the cavalry to clear the troops. At most one week, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"

Charlotte nodded slightly, which was considered to be recognized.

At this moment, the door of the ward was gently pushed open, and the priest Loti, wearing a chariot, walked out, his face full of fatigue.

When she saw Charlotte, she saluted respectfully:

"Master Earl..."

Charlotte waved his hand and signaled to avoid the gift, and then asked:

"How? How effective is the treatment?"

Lotty sighed and said:
Chapter completed!
