Chapter 203: Time
The men of Denlenburg marched towards Viscount Raul's domain, while Viscount Curwen on the other side was rather unhappy, and only two loyal knights were left with him. x updates are the fastest
After arriving in the Duchy of Bunkerson, he was not immediately received by the Duke of Bunkerson, after all, his territory and army were gone, and he was of no value to the Duke of Bunkerson.
However, Duke Bunkerson seems to have plenty of time today, and is finally preparing to meet the down-and-out Viscount Curvin in the main castle in the city.
Viscount Curvin was taken away from his weapon and walked into the luxurious study where Duke Bunkerson usually handled things.
"It is a pleasure to be received by you, my esteemed Duke Bunkerson, and your reception has brought me and my family to glory!"
As soon as Viscount Cowen entered the study, before Duke Bunkerson could speak, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said with a humble expression.
Duke Bunkerson was also confused by Viscount Cowen's posture, but he quickly reacted that Viscount Cowen was no longer powerless.
But even so, he was very happy to have someone to be so humble to him, after all, vanity is everyone's nature.
"Very good, Viscount Cowen, please get up!" Duke Bunkerson smiled and asked Viscount Curvin to get up, and then asked, "Is there something you have come to me for something?" ”
This is completely knowing, and it can even be a little shameless, it was he who made Viscount Cowen rebel through Viscount Lausas in the first place.
Now that the war has been lost and Viscount Raul is pitted with nothing, he instead begins to ask Viscount Curvin.
Viscount Kewen was of course angry when he heard this, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, after all, he didn't have any qualifications to be angry now.
"I admire your name, so I hope to be loyal to the famous Duke of Bunkerson, and I hope you can give me the treatment that matches my status, so that I can serve you better!"
Viscount Cowen is neither humble nor arrogant, but he also has some momentum of his own, and he clearly knows that if he doesn't talk about some conditions, he won't be taken seriously, so he began to talk to Duke Bunkerson about some conditions.
"Ah, I see, but I already have enough valiant and loyal vassals under my command, so I don't particularly need your allegiance right now, so ...... You can try your luck somewhere else! ”
Although Duke Bunkerson is a reckless man, what kind of simple role can a person who dares to compete for the throne with King Brolin see through Viscount Curwen's trick at a glance, smiled disdainfully on his face, and then said.
"I'm here to come to you, honorable Duke of Bunkerson, my territory has been reclaimed by the damned Count of Loire, and my army has been routed on the battlefield, so I need your help and takeback!"
Seeing that his previous strategy had not worked, Viscount Curvin immediately changed his strategy and continued to speak in a humble and somewhat flattering tone.
After that, he continued to get down on one knee and wait for Duke Bunkerson's opinion.
"Alright then, I can take you in, but I don't have any extra territory to divide, so you can only be one of my courtiers, a temporary court nobleman!"
Duke Bunkerson weighed the pros and cons a little in the letter, hesitated for a moment, and accepted Viscount Curwen's allegiance.
"I am honored to be your vassal, my spear follows your sword, your enemy is my enemy, I will use my life to defend you and your family, and support you and your family's rule!"
Amid the creaking of carriages, William and his team finally reached Viscount Raul's territory five days later, and entered the castle without incident.
And Sir Imojo, ah no, Viscount Imojo received him only slightly, and then left it to dry in the castle, leaving it alone.
However, William didn't care too much about this, this kind of inexplicable hostility to himself, he was also quite helpless, but he didn't particularly care.
Soon, within three days, all the nobles had basically arrived at Sir Imojo's territory, Fort Dunley!
William wore a black aristocratic robe with thin white threads embroidered on the sleeves, which he wore to the funeral.
Wella, on the other hand, snuggled up to William's side, also dressed in black, and wearing a black and white hat worn by the sisters on her head.
At this time, the nobles and ladies in the hall were all dressed in the same attire.
Under the backdrop of the environment in the hall, it looks more and more solemn.
At the very front of the hall, a large wooden cross rests on the ground, and behind the cross, there is a rather luxurious-looking coffin.
Inside was Viscount Raul, who had already dressed in his luxurious robes, his face was slightly hideous, and his brows were tightly furrowed.
Apparently, Viscount Raul suffered very much before his death.
Viscount Imojo, with red eyes at this time, sat next to Viscount Raul's coffin, thanking every nobleman who came to the funeral.
When William came to pay his respects and salute, Viscount Imojo's eyes suddenly widened and he waited for William.
William was a little baffled, could it be that this Viscount Imojo thought that he had killed Viscount Raul?
Wella followed William to Viscount Raul's coffin, a few tears falling from her eyes, and then left with William.
Viscount Raul's body had to be buried in the cemetery as soon as possible, and his family had a long history, so there was a cemetery dedicated to their coffins.
It can be similar to the ancestral tomb of the Celestial Empire, and this kind of cemetery has not yet been built by William, because he is currently the only one in his family, and building this kind of cemetery has no effect.
The Earl walked to the coffin with a gloomy face, and looked sadly at Viscount Raul lying inside.
He is now walking a little unsteadily, and he has been similar to Viscount Raul for more than a year, and his health is not particularly good.
He even needed the support of others to be able to stand firmly, and it was his sure heir, his distant nephew, Sir Tscuri.
"Old man, I didn't expect you to leave so soon, but don't worry, I'm going to see the Holy Father soon, and the two of us will be able to meet again then!"
The Earl wept as his hands lay on the edge of the coffin, and his mouth was weak.
After muttering for a while, the Earl, supported by Sir Tscurry, walked up to Viscount Imojo and said, "Bury your father as soon as possible, I don't want to see his incomplete body!" ”
A day later, Viscount Imojo, who had inherited his father's title, formally asked the Count of Loire to re-swear allegiance, and the Count accepted the allegiance without any problems.
Time flies, more than seven months have passed since the death of Viscount Raul, and this autumn, as expected, has enjoyed a huge harvest in the territory.
If we take the food rations, the harvest is enough to feed the nearly 30,000 civilians in the territory for ten years, which is a very large number.
