Tome of Blood

Chapter 316 -166- The Missing Baron

Violet's actions were quite fast.

Perhaps it was because of the failure of the war that the internal situation of the Violet Principality began to become a little unstable, and the Violet Duke's efficiency in fulfilling the content of the treaty was quite high.

Less than half a month after the peace talks between the two parties, Violet delivered the first batch of materials to buy extraordinary equipment to Castel, and along with the materials, there was still a third of the ransom.

In addition, the contract documents related to the Barony of Bettel and the relevant documents for the transfer of the Barony of Bettel were also sent to Beigang.

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

And a week after Castel and Violet signed the peace treaty, envoys from the royal capital also arrived at Beigang and brought two important news.

First, five of the nine dukes of the New Moon Kingdom have jointly signed the three princes and officiates and the other twenty-eight vassals and nobles directly under the kingdom to apply to the noble council and the kingdom's court to hold a central meeting to discuss flagrant violations of the "Sacred The issue of the legitimacy of the succession of Philippe de Valva, the Third Prince of the Crescent of the Code and the Crown Deed.

Obviously, with the defeat of the war, the third prince had lost the support of most of the nobles. King Louis V wanted to use the third prince to weaken the power of the local nobles and strengthen the centralization of power, but the nobles also counterattacked.

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

Second, King Louis V issued an edict, restricting the tripartite parties of Bold, Violet and Castel to end the war and return to peace within a week.

Of course, the truce came a bit late, as Castel and Violet had already negotiated peace a week ago.

As for Bold, after Eleanor was captured and the expeditionary force was destroyed, the war was actually over, and all that remained was post-war negotiations.

"Lord Bois-Lint, the war is over, you can leave here with the Violet Knight."

In the Earl's Mansion, Viscount Len-Castel looked at Earl Lint who was under house arrest, and said with a smile.

Earl Lint, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and meditating, slowly opened his eyes and said in silence for a long time:

"Negotiations... over?"

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

"The ransom... what is it?"

"2.43 million Quintana, and extraordinary materials with a price equivalent to 20 million Quintana. Of course... this is for soldiers, other nobles and enchanted equipment. As for you, the Earl's asking price is Baron Belt."

Viscount Leon Castel said.

"Baron Baron Belt..."

After hearing what the old Viscount said, Earl Lint had a complicated expression.

He closed his eyes gently and let out a long sigh of helplessness.

And Viscount Lien Castel continued:

"Lord Boist-Lint, news has come from the capital that the central meeting will be held in more than a month to investigate the crimes of the third prince Philip in the Boulder-Violet War."

"The essence of this war is the third prince Philip's willful action. You should be very clear about what the third prince is like and what he did to Lord Eleanor..."

"Most of us have heard of your name. You are a true knight. Your lord Earl said that you hope that you can stand up and expose the guilt of the third prince at the central meeting in more than a month."

After hearing what the old Viscount said, Earl Lint fell silent.

"Of course, it's your freedom to stand up or not. Your lord earl just hopes that you can do so. You should be very clear about whether the third prince is suitable as the heir to the throne."

Viscount Leon Castel added.

After a long time, Earl Lint let out a long sigh:

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

"This is natural. There is still some time before the meeting, and you have plenty of time to think about it."

The old Viscount said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, he looked at the time and saluted Earl Lint:

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

After finishing speaking, the old Viscount turned around and planned to leave.

"etc……"

Earl Lint suddenly stopped him.

"Master Bois-Lint, do you have anything else to say?"

asked the old Viscount.

Earl Lint hesitated for a moment and said:

"Please tell Your Excellency Castel that Baron Belt... is a vassal worth recruiting."

"He was an excellent commander and a true knight."

After hearing his words, Viscount Leon-Castel raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that he, as the heir of the Bois-Lint family, would have such an evaluation of the last blood of the Willett family.

"I will, but... Baron Belt has been missing for many days. Some soldiers said that they saw him being cut off from his horse and fell into the Dorne River that night. It must have been an accident."

Recalling the news detected two days ago, Viscount Leon Castel said.

After hearing what the old Viscount said, Earl Lint opened his mouth and finally let out a long sigh:

"Perhaps... this is fate."

...

After Violet handed over the contract documents, Earl Lint and the other first batch of captives were released back.

During this period, Castel did not mistreat these people. At most, he let the captured soldiers work as laborers for a few days, cleaned up the ruins left by the war in Beigang, and repaired the city wall.

As for the nobles, they were actually placed under house arrest and offered food and drink. For the victors, these people were walking Quintanas.

"Have you sent him away?"

In the noble lounge of Beigang Missionary Hospital, Charlotte asked while sipping sweet milk gracefully.

She came to the mission hospital today to see Eleanor.

Although with her comforting, Eleanor's mental state improved a lot, but after all, she was too stimulated and needed recuperation and treatment.

In this respect, the Holy Royal Court is better than her.

Therefore, Eleanor has been receiving treatment from priest Lottie in the mission hospital these days.

And today is the last session of treatment.

"Yes, Lord Earl, Earl Lint has been brought back by Violet's people. However, he did not expressly indicate that he will expose the crimes of the third prince at the central meeting more than a month later."

Viscount Lien Castell said respectfully.

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

Charlotte said indifferently.

"By the way, Lord Earl, before leaving, Earl Lint said a few words, and wanted me to convey them to you."

Viscount Lien-Castel hesitated for a moment, speaking respectfully.

"Oh? What did he say?"

Charlotte was a little curious.

"He said that Baron Belt is a vassal worth recruiting, as well as an excellent commander and a true knight."

replied the old Viscount.

"Baron Belt..."

Charlotte chewed on the name and pondered:

"If I remember correctly, it was reported a few days ago that the baron had fallen into the Dorne River and disappeared?"

"indeed so."

The old Viscount nodded.

"I've made a note of this matter. Let's talk about it when we have news. The battle that day was chaotic, and there were many missing nobles. There is no news after so many days. There must be a high probability that something unexpected has happened."

Charlotte said.

As she spoke, she seemed to think of something, and she asked again:

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

The old Viscount said respectfully:

"The battle in the north is going well. Our army has advanced to the last territory directly under the Legris family. The support of Viscount Roman-Furr and the mercenary group has also arrived. The rebellion must be completely put down soon. But... "

"But what?"

"However, there was a problem near Beigang. There were too many rout soldiers who fled that night, and they have not been arrested. In the past few days, they have attacked towns more and more frequently, causing great damage to the nobles and citizens. Big trouble..."

Charlotte frowned:

"It's been so long, how many deserters haven't been caught yet?"

Seeing Charlotte's dissatisfaction, the old Viscount quickly lowered his head, with sweat oozing from his forehead:

"I've arranged for the cavalry to wipe out the cavalry. It will take up to a week. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"

Charlotte nodded slightly, which was regarded as approval.

And at this moment, the door of the ward was gently pushed open, and the priest Lottie, who was wearing a divine robe, came out with exhaustion written all over his face.

Seeing Charlotte, she bowed respectfully:

"My lord..."

Charlotte waved her hand as a sign of excuses, and then asked:

"How? How is the treatment effect?"

Lottie sighed and said:

"The situation...is not very good."

The second update will be released earlier tonight
