-160- Duke Violet

"What are you still doing in a daze, haven't you heard me?"

Looking at the unmoved Violet Knight, the third prince frowned, and his expression became cold.

The next moment, however, the knights suddenly took a step forward and surrounded him.

The third prince was stunned for a moment.

He suddenly became vigilant and scolded:

"You ...... What do you want to do? ”

The Violet Knight still didn't answer.

They drew their weapons and surrounded the third prince and the others, some knights stepped forward and directly took the soldiers' weapons, while others directly aimed their weapons at the third prince.

The third prince was immediately angry:

"What are you doing here? Rebellion?! Don't know who I am? ”

This time, the Violet Knights finally reacted.

The knights stepped out of the way, and a violet knight who looked like the leader walked out.

He came to the front of the third prince and said in a loud voice:

"Your Royal Highness, of course we know who you are."

"You have grossly violated a number of important regulations of the Holy Law and the Crown Pact, and under the provisions of the Code and the Treaty, we have the right to temporarily disarm you, and we ask you not to resist."

The third prince was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily:

"You're crazy?! I am the Prince of the Crescent! Second heir to the throne! Grandson of Duke Violet! ”

"Which family are you from? Who gave you the audacity to attack me? Is this an enemy of the royal family and the Bouat-Lint family?! ”

The knight leader glanced at him and said:

"We don't belong to any lower-level noble family, but are the direct knights of the Duke."

"It wasn't us who ordered your disarmament, but the Duke."

"Your Royal Highness, please cooperate a little, otherwise, we will have to be rough."

Listening to the words of the knight leader, the third prince was instantly stunned:

"Gong ...... Duke? Grandfather? ”

His eyes widened and he shook his head in disbelief:

"Nope! That's impossible! How could my grandfather give such an order?! ”

"Fake! What you say must be false! ”

However, the knight leader was no longer interested in continuing to entangle with the third prince, but waved his hand and ordered the other knights:

"His Royal Highness the Prince was not in a very stable mood, so tie him up and send him to the carriage."

Hearing this, the tall and tall extraordinary knight immediately took action and walked towards the third prince.

The third prince's expression changed drastically.

He suddenly struggled and said in a panic:

"Nope! You can't do that! ”

"I am the third prince of the crescent! I am the second heir to the throne! You are violating the king's authority! ”

"I'm going to Lint City! I want to see my grandfather! ”

“……”

Looking at the three princes with a frightened and inward-looking face, a trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the knight leader.

"Your Royal Highness, you will have a chance to meet the Duke."

"Of course, we don't know if the Duke wants to see you or not."

As he spoke, he beckoned the knight to tie the third prince to the carriage.

"Nope! Not ——! ”

"You bastards! I will remember you! ”

"When I ascend the throne, I will kill you! Kill you! ”

The third prince kept roaring, cursing, and struggling, but in the end he was controlled by the extraordinary knights and "sent" into the carriage.

……

Duchy of Violet, Lint City.

In the deep and solemn castle, an elderly nobleman in a dark purple aristocratic robe was standing in front of the flower bed, trembling and watering the flowers.

His appearance was seven or eight points similar to that of Earl Lint, but he looked older and more majestic, especially the pair of silver-gray eyes, cloudy and vicissitudes.

Joffrey de Bouit-Lint.

He is the patriarch of the Bouyat-Lint family, the current Duke of Violet, and the court advisor of the Crescent Kingdom.

As one of the nine powerful dukes of the Crescent Kingdom, he is also responsible for commanding the Crescent Kingdom's most powerful kingdom standing force, the Crescent Kingdom's Second Guards Legion.

Of course, the Boulder-Castel War was a civil war of the nobility, and the Kingdom Guard had neither the right nor the right to dispatch.

"Lord Duke, news has come from the north that His Royal Highness the Prince has arrived at the Border Castle and that the Knights have taken him under control."

A nobleman who looked like a butler came behind Duke Violet, bowed respectfully, and said.

The kettle in the old duke's hand suddenly paused slightly.

"Victor has any news?"

He asked.

The nobleman hesitated for a moment, then replied:

"There is news from the rout of the Northlands that Lord Earl should have really been captured by the Castel family, and with him was Eleanor, the Duchess of Boulder."

Listening to the nobleman's words, the old duke was silent for a moment and nodded slightly:

"I see."

"Let the Knights take Philip to their knees, and then prepare the messenger to negotiate with Castel."

The nobleman hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but say:

"Your Excellency, Lord Duke...... Is it really intended to use His Royal Highness the Prince as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Castel? ”

"After all, he is the second heir to the throne, the favorite child of His Majesty, and your grandson......"

Listening to the nobleman's words, the old duke slowly turned around.

His face was expressionless, and he snorted coldly, and said meaningfully:

"His Majesty's favorite child?"

"Hmph...... Whether he was before or not, from the moment he was defeated a week ago, he couldn't have been. ”

"Eleanor of Boulder has been captured, and I am afraid that his pickled things will not be hidden, so this hot potato should be thrown to Castel."

Speaking of this, the old duke paused again and sighed:

"Also, go down and prepare, and when the negotiations with Castel are over, I will go to the royal capital and personally go to see His Majesty the King......"

……

The reconquest of the lost Northland was much faster than Charlotte had imagined.

As news of the fall of the Boulder-Violet coalition spread, the nobles who had surrendered turned against Castel once again.

Its speed is so fast that Charlotte has to sigh that the skin of these wall grasses is really thick enough.

"Whoever wins, they help whom."

Under the feudal system, these separate aristocratic lords were so realistic.

Charlotte didn't have time to liquidate these repeatedly jumping nobles for the time being.

She just secretly wrote it down, planning to wait until the war was completely over and then slowly put things in order.

After the great victory in the Battle of North Harbor spread, the noble envoys from all over the kingdom did not stop, such as Viscount Remisio, Duke Moongo, the Bouit family, who had a feud with the Boulder family, and even the second prince of Silvermoon.

There are those who congratulate, those who express goodwill to the Castel family, and those who extend olive branches, with the meaning of solicitation between words.

It is clear that the Battle of Northport, which won more with less, shook the entire kingdom, and everyone knew that the end of the whole war was already sealed.

Castel is destined to part ways with Boulder and will likely become the new vassal of the Crescent Kingdom and one of the most powerful forces in the North.

And after meeting with another noble envoy from a neighboring territory, Charlotte also got the news:

The team of envoys for the peace talks of the Principality of Violet has arrived in Castel.
