As he spoke, he looked at Lenno calmly and said calmly:
"If you want to be a qualified Duke of Boulder, you must have a certain degree of skill."
Leno was laughed out of anger:
"What a strategy! What a skill! What a Bold!"
After that, he ripped off the lion badge from his chest and threw it to the ground:
"If this is what you call Bold, who is admired by the world, then... you should keep this badge for yourself!"
"Such a dirty surname, such a nobleman, I feel disgusted!"
After saying that, Leno took off the gorgeous noble robe again, threw it to the ground, and then turned around and left.
"Stop! You bastard! Pick up the family crest again!"
Duke Bold looked grim and said sternly.
The pressure of the third level of Blazing Sun broke out instantly, and Leno's face turned slightly pale.
However, he still held his back straight and said coldly:
"No...that's your family crest."
"From today on, I have nothing to do with Bold."
"I swear to the Lord Harald that I, Lenore, will have nothing to do with the Bold family... anymore!"
After speaking, he slammed the door and left, never looking back.
The Duke of Bold looked at the direction where Lenno disappeared with an ugly expression, and angrily crushed the armrests of the lounge chair.
But soon, he slumped in the chair again, looking much older.
…
North gate of Boulder city.
Kara held her horse and looked silently at the beautiful girl who came to see her off.
Under the black parasol, a girl with blond hair and blue eyes asked with a charming smile and a sincere expression:
"Miss Carla, have you really decided to leave Boulder and go to the Black Land of East Unite to restart your mercenary career?"
"Would you not consider my proposal any more?"
Kara was silent for a moment and shook her head slightly:
"No, I'm tired."
After hearing Kara's words, the girl looked a little regretful.
She sighed slightly and said:
"I see."
"Thank you for taking care of me in Boulder City. I wish you a safe journey and a new life in East Unite."
"The Black Land of East Unite is not too far from the Castel Territory, and the door of Castel will always be open for you. I hope that in the future... we can meet again one day."
Kara nodded slightly, then got on the horse.
"Thanks."
She dropped her last words and rode away.
Seeing the female knight gradually disappearing on the horizon, Sebas, who was holding an umbrella for Charlotte, sighed slightly and said:
"You obviously want to find out the truth, but you keep doing things for the enemy... Miss Carla is really miserable."
Charlotte nodded in agreement.
Having even resigned from the position of Demon Hunter Knight, Carla may have been completely disappointed with the church.
She still hopes to draw such an extraordinary knight with an unlimited future into her territory.
But unfortunately...after experiencing all kinds of blows, the other party is no longer in the mood to do anything for Castel anymore.
"I hope she can get out of the shadow of the past soon after leaving Boulder."
The girl said.
"But unfortunately... it failed to hit Duke Bold. As far as I know, the report provided by Carla to the church did not involve the Bold family."
Sebastian said with some regret.
Charlotte smiled noncommittally:
"That's not necessarily true."
While the two were talking, the rapid sound of horse hooves came from behind.
Along with the sound of horse hooves, there is also the familiar sound of riding horses.
Charlotte's heart moved and she turned around.
After seeing the person clearly, she smiled slightly and said:
"Sir Leno, why are you out of the city?"
It was Lenno who came on horseback.
On his body, he had returned to the clothes and equipment he had worn as a free mercenary, and the emblem and sword of the Boulder family could no longer be seen.
He looked quite anxious, looking around as if he was looking for something.
Even after hearing Charlotte's voice, his mind was not focused on the conversation with the girl at all. Instead, he said in a trance:
"Oh...it's Miss Charlotte..."
After saying that, he asked hurriedly:
"By the way! Miss Charlotte, have you seen Kara? I heard someone said that she left the city gate from this direction!"
"Miss Kara? She has already walked north."
Charlotte said.
"North?!"
Leno cheered up.
"Yes, she is leaving Boulder. She said she is going to East Unite Blackland to start a new life..."
Charlotte continued.
"Leaving Boulder... East Union..."
Lenno murmured to himself, his gaze gradually becoming firmer as he looked into the distance:
"Miss Charlotte, thank you for informing me!"
After saying that, his expression showed a hint of apology:
"And...I'm sorry."
I saw him making a mercenary courtesy towards Charlotte, then continued to ride his horse and chased towards the north.
Seeing Lenno disappearing gradually, Sebastian couldn't help but said:
"It seems that the old Duke is going to have a headache again with his inheritance."
Charlotte nodded slightly.
The old Duke was as cunning as a fox.
Except for the memories in Lottie's dream, he did not leave any evidence against him.
The Duke is a major noble in the kingdom. Without enough evidence of guilt, not even the Holy Royal Court can launch an attack.
But sometimes, you don't need enough evidence to defeat your enemy.
He was dying soon, but he broke up with his only heir...
For the Duke of Bold, who attaches great importance to family inheritance, this is almost like watching his family die, which is a more painful punishment than death!
Looking away from the distance, Charlotte gently stretched out her hand.
Little bits of light gathered in her hands, and the remaining souls of the girls awakened by her also appeared.
"Everything is over, you... can leave with peace of mind."
she sighed.
The blurry shadow floated like the wind and gave a gentle salute to Charlotte.
A breeze blows, and little photons scatter with the wind.
Charlotte watched as the last remaining soul dissipated.
Then, he turned around and left.
…
In July 1444 of the Holy Calendar, Linus, the great priest of the Principality of Bold, was arrested by the Holy Royal Court for colluding with the Blood Demon Order and killing civilians. This caused a great sensation in the entire Boulder and even the Crescent Kingdom.
In September of the same year, the sinner Linus underwent a religious trial in King Crescent City. Because of his bad influence, he was sentenced to be burned at the stake by the chief judge of Crescent Parish and executed immediately.
At the same time, the heir of the Bold family, Lenore de Bold, announced his break with the family and went to the mercenary adventure paradise of East Unite Blackland to become a free mercenary again...
In November, after detailed investigation, the Holy Royal Court determined that an evil god suspected of being a vampire prince had indeed appeared in the Principality of Bold.
According to the confession of the sinner Linus during his lifetime, the Holy Royal Court named him the God of Dark Night and included him as a key investigation target...
