When the mighty Castel cavalry returned to "suppress the bandits", the original team of 1,500 people had become more than 2,000 people.
The citizens stood on both sides of the street, looking curiously at the troops entering the city gate, especially the surrendered soldiers who were in the middle of the army and had removed their weapons, with the violet logo clearly on their armor and shields.
"It's those violet routs raging in the north!"
"Are they them? I heard that they beat those nobles until they cried for their fathers and mothers..."
"Isn't that right! I heard that even Baron Nasser's house was robbed by them. Well, he is the beast who enforced the right of first night in the territory!"
"Well done! You really made us feel bad!"
"However, in the end, we were defeated by the Earl."
"After all, the Count is more powerful. She is the person who can lead Castel to defeat the coalition forces of the two principalities!"
"What do you think...how will the earl deal with these defeated troops?"
"Violet should be asked to pay the ransom."
"What a pity... His Majesty the Earl is also a wise lord who hates the misbehavior of nobles. It would be great if His Majesty the Earl could keep them here."
"Hey, it doesn't matter whether the Violet soldiers are retained or not. The key lies in their commander. I heard that it was the commander's credit that the Violet soldiers were able to be organized."
"Commander? Are you also a noble?"
"Of course it is. It seems that he is still a descendant of an ancient family or something..."
"That feeling is strangely similar to that of Lord Count."
"..."
The citizens were talking a lot and looking curiously at the troops entering the city.
In the team, Baron Bertel and Agnes, whose weapons had been confiscated, were riding side by side, surrounded by layers of Castel knights.
Listening to the discussions of the citizens, Agnes turned back, looked at Baron Bertel, and said with a smile:
"Brother Guillaume, how are you? Is the reputation of Count Castres different from what you imagined?"
Baron Bertel was silent for a while and nodded slightly.
Agnes looks even happier:
"So... don't worry, she is different from other nobles, and her behavior style is more like our Willet. I think... after becoming her vassal, you should live a better life than in Violet."
"After all, one of the important reasons why you were willing to follow my father was because our Willett family treats common people well!"
After hearing what Agnes said, Baron Bertel fell silent.
He was not unaware of the reputation of Count Castres. During this period of time, he was engaged in guerrilla warfare in the North, and he also heard a lot about Count Castres' deeds from local civilians.
It is impossible not to be curious or disapproving of that legendary girl.
However, it was just because of his position and family grudges that he could not reconcile with the other party.
With this thought, Baron Bertel suddenly remembered the cry of the Willett people when the Willett family was deprived of their title and demoted to civilians:
"Castle! We, Willett, will be your enemies until death!"
but now……
Looking at Agnes's proud smile and looking at the other person's naturalness and ease when talking about Castel, he finally confirmed... that this last real direct descendant of the Willett family really
Everything was let go.
Seeing Agnès's expression, Baron Bertel's mood was a little complicated.
Over the years, revenge against Castel has become a part of his life.
But now, someone suddenly told him that all the grievances and grievances in the past were settled, and the enemies in the past were reconciled with the sect leader he served.
To be honest, it is impossible without a spiritual impact.
Baron Bertel feels that it still takes some time for him to adapt and accept it.
But the development of things was so dramatic. What he faced was not just reconciliation, but on the basis of reconciliation, he became a vassal of the other party and swore allegiance to the other party.
After learning the news, he had even... planned to die alone.
But the arrival of Agnes made the ending he originally planned to lose its foundation and reason.
Baron Bertel was at a loss.
He is not at a loss because of where he is going.
He is a noble and a knight. He knows that he will become Castel's vassal, and he also knows that he has no reason to fight against Castel.
But... he really didn't know how to face this young earl who was his enemy in the past and was about to become his lord, nor how he would treat him.
After all, he had been stirring up trouble in Castel's rear for more than a month. He refused to surrender even after the war was over. Even if he did not harm the civilians too much, he still caused chaos in the central part of Castel.
The dog jumped, almost filling the hatred of the northern nobles.
You know, the noble manor he plundered even included several properties belonging to the Earl's Palace and owned by the Castel family, that is, the property of the young countess...
He even killed several manor stewards and minor nobles.
Of course, he only found out after robbing and killing.
"Guillaume, we are here. The Earl should be in the study now. The knights of the Earl's Palace will take you to see her."
Unknowingly, the team had arrived at the Earl's Palace, and La Hire smiled at Baron Bertel and said.
After hesitating for a moment, Baron Bertel dismounted and entered the Earl's Palace with Agnes.
As soon as they entered the Earl's Mansion, the deacon and bodyguard knights who had already heard the news came over to greet them.
"Are you Baron Bertel?"
Rand, who was already the captain of the Earl's Palace Guards Knights, looked at Baron Bertel curiously and asked.
Looking at the young knight in front of him who had stellar strength, Bertel's eyes narrowed slightly.
He nodded:
"Yes, I am Guillaume de Bertel-Willet."
After finishing speaking, Baron Bertel noticed that the other party's expression suddenly changed.
The young knight gave him a thumbs up, and then said enthusiastically:
"You are this one! We have long been dissatisfied with those nobles who act in disobedience and misbehave! Castel needs real nobles and knights like you to take care of these depraved guys!"
Seeing the admiration on the knight's face, Better was stunned.
"Okay, come with me, the count has been waiting for you for a long time."
Rand smiled.
Following the young knight, Baron Bertel entered the hall of the Earl's Palace and went up to the second floor. After turning left and right, he came to a study room with low-key and luxurious decoration.
"My Lord Baron, please come in."
The knight gestured.
Baron Bettel hesitated and walked in.
In the study room, a beautiful blond girl was sitting behind the desk, immersed in writing something.
"Are you Baron Bertel?"
The girl put down the quill in her hand and asked curiously.
Baron Bertel hesitated for a moment and nodded silently.
"You're here just in time. This is the future development plan for Barony Bettel sent by the cabinet. Please see if it is consistent with reality."
The girl pointed to a roll of parchment on the table and said.
