At night, when the last rays of sunset dissipated, the silver moonlight swayed on the earth, like a hazy mist, and the water surface shimmered, reflecting the shadow of the moon.

There was a beautiful woman under the moon, but her face was full of sorrow, she was the wife of the Count of Noamun, and now her husband was imprisoned, and though he was not far apart, he could not see him, and she wept for her husband and children, and wept for herself.

At this time, a messenger from Raging Waves, Dick Huntington, Earl of the Court, approached the Lady.

He looked at the sad eyes of the beautiful Countess Noamon and the tear stains on her cheeks, and could not help feeling heartache, and he handed Madame Noamon a white silk handkerchief.

The Countess of Noammon, not wanting to let people see her unbeautiful side, silently took the handkerchief, leaned sideways to wipe the tears from her face, and then turned around and said:

"Who are you, and if you just want to see the jokes of the Noamuns, please spare me, poor woman. ”

"Madame can misunderstand my intentions, I am Dick Huntington, Earl of the Court, an emissary from Raging Waves. ”

"Messenger of the City of Wrath!" cried Countess Noamun, "if you have any compassion, if I move you with tears, have mercy on my unfortunate woman, and help my husband, who is now imprisoned by Count Karazan, and I and my children cannot even see him once." ”

"Madame, please do not be in a hurry, you will soon be able to meet your husband. That's what I'm here for. ”

"Then please stop the atrocities of Count Karazan, even if he is the son of a duke, he must not be so arrogant and arrogant. ”

"Madame, don't be in a hurry. That's what I'm here for. Dick reassured, "Count Castelme and Count Karazan, one is a vassal, on whom the Duke trusts, and the other is his only son, and the Duke does not want to see such a situation, so I have taken the order of the Duke to mediate the matter." ”

"But Earl Karazan is the only son of the Duke after all, and can he treat my husband as if he were his own son?" I know that Earl McCarvey claims that my husband sent assassins to assassinate him, but this is ridiculous, how could my husband do such a thing, he is nothing more than a gold mine for coveting Castelme. ”

"Madame, trust the justice of the Duke, for even the shepherds of the wilderness know the wisdom of the Duke of McCarvey. Moreover, the Duke is also the only son of his own protection, the Earl of Karazhan because he is good at raising troops and attacking the county of Noamon without a name, which has caused the dissatisfaction of many nobles, and they jointly went to the City of Raging Waves to impeach the Duke of McCarvey for his atrocities, and let the Count of Karazhan stand in the noble court, which is also what the Count of McCarvey does not want to see, so he asked me to order the Count of Karazan to withdraw and exchange the land for your husband, the Count of Noamun. ”

"Is that so?" asked the Countess of Noamun, delightedly.

"That's true, it's ironclad!"

"Then what do you need me to do?" asked the Countess of Noamon.

"After my long persuasion, Count Karazan has compromised, and he is willing to withdraw from the county of Castelme and return your husband's territory, but ......."

"Just what?" asked the Countess of Noamun urgently.

"He asks your husband to compensate for the losses of the war, a total of ten thousand imperial gold coins. ”

"Ten thousand Imperial Gold Coins. Madame exclaimed, and then replied with a wry smile, "What a greedy fellow, even if the entire county warehouse were emptied, it would be difficult for us to scrape together so many gold coins." ”

"This is the bottom line of Count Karazhan, and he is not willing to back down in the slightest. Dick shook his head and said helplessly.

"It seems that I can only turn to my father, Viscount Barton, and the other nobles, and borrow from them, and I should be able to raise enough gold coins. ”

"Since you are willing to accept this unconscionable treaty, then I am relieved. Dick said, taking out a piece of paper from his bosom, "This is all the demands of Count Karazhan written on it, and if your husband is willing to sign it, then the next morning, Count Karazan will return with his army, and your husband will be free." ”

"Rest assured, I drafted this treaty, and you should examine it carefully. ”

Countess Noamun, the lady who had been so sad as to be bathed in a sudden joy, took the paper that Dick had handed her, "Without further ado, please go with me to my husband." ”

Count Noamon looked up at the bright moon hanging from the black canopy outside the window, and sighed lamentingly, now his heart was like ashes. Imprisoned in a mansion by Julian, his knights are missing, and the servants who serve him are all Yurian's eyes, and he loses the war, loses his territory, and loses his freedom.

With a creaking sound, the door suddenly opened, and no one would bother him except the servant who delivered the meal, and the Count of Noamon turned curiously, only to find his wife standing at the door, her eyes full of tears.

"Marilyn. ”

"Andrey. ”

Noamon hugged his wife in his arms, and he couldn't even believe it, he shed tears of emotion, and looked at his wife's familiar voice, "Marilyn, why are you here? I've been worried about you and the children, and I'm worried about what McCarvey will do to you. ”

"My kids and I have been missing you too. "The Countess of Noamon was in the bosom of the Count of Noammon and were warm to each other.

After a long time, the Count of Noamon broke away from Count Noamon and introduced Dick to him, who was standing behind him, "This is Earl Dick Huntington, an envoy from Raging Waves, if it weren't for him, I don't know when I would see you." ”

At first, in order not to disturb the reunion of the Count of Noamun and his wife, Dick had been standing in the back position just now, and he showed a kind smile to the Count of Noamun and said, "Down here is Dick Huntington, the court earl of Angry Waves, who has come to mediate the conflict between you and Count Karazan. ”

Then the Countess of Noamon explained to the Count Noamon what Dick meant, and repeated what Dick had just said to her.

Count Noamon stared at Dick, and after a moment he solemnly bowed and thanked him, "Thank you for your help, the Noamon family will not forget every friend who reached out in his danger." ”

"I'm just an executor, it's Duke McCarvey's will. ”

Hearing the name of Duke McCarvey, Count Noamun's face softened, if there was Duke McCarvey's guarantee, then no matter how arrogant Count Karazhan was, he had to bow his head in front of his father.

"Can you show me the treaty. ”

"Naturally, there is no problem. ”

After the Count of Noamon carefully reviewed all the requirements on the settlement treaty, and after confirming that they were correct, he was about to pick up the pen and sign his name, but a drop of blood on the paper attracted the attention of the Count of Noamon, "How can there be blood on this?"

"Is there one?" said Dick, with a puzzled expression.

Dick stepped forward to look at it, and said in confusion, "How can there be blood?" What a strangeness, ma'am, was there blood on it when I showed it to you?"

Countess Noamon looked at it uncertainly and said, "I was too emotional just now, I didn't pay attention to it, I shouldn't have it....."

"Oh, it's my blood. Dick exclaimed, his index finger had been cut at some point, and blood was oozing from it, "I guess it was cut by the paper when I handed it to you." ”

"That's how it looks, it's me who is too worried. After dispelling his doubts, the Count of Noamon signed his name on it.

After the signing, the Count of Noamon sighed, he couldn't help but sigh that he was old, if he had been in the past, he would never have accepted such an unreasonable treaty, but now looking at his wife, whose cheeks were flushed with emotion, and his lovely children, he had to accept that this was already the best result.

The name of the Count of Noamon was written on the paper, and Dick, after confirming that it was correct, said, "Then I will not disturb your husband and wife reunion." Now I have to show Count Karazhan before he goes to bed, and ask him to sign his name. The sooner things are resolved, the better, so that you can be freed sooner, and I can return to Fury Waves as soon as possible. To be honest, less than half a month after leaving, I already miss my warm nest a little. ”

"For your help, I, Andrei Noammon, will never forget. ”

"For your kindness this time, the Noamun family will remember it in their hearts.

The Counts of Noamon and his wife bowed to Dick as he was leaving.

"Seriously, then I'll quit. Dick returned the salute and stepped out of the room.

Looking at the settlement treaty signed by Count Noamon in his hand, Dick showed a sly smile, "Although I think the sooner you forget it, the better, but I'm afraid you will never forget it until you die." ”

"It's time to go back and give life to the Earl. Dick muttered to himself.
