After instructing Toloti to take care of Eleanor, Charlotte left the Mission Hospital.

The arrival of the royal envoy was like a clear signal to announce the end of the war, and after peace talks with the Duchy of Violet, peace with Boulder was put on the agenda.

After leaving the Mission Hospital, Charlotte went to the Tulip County to complete the de facto handover of the territory.

The Tulip Earls had no lords, only the Earl of Gaston was stationed, and with the support of the Earl of Gaston, the handover of the territory went smoothly.

The tulip aristocracy, who was already in frequent marriages with the Castel nobles and had many business dealings, did not resist, but naturally accepted Charlotte's rule.

It's also easy to understand that Tulip Collar is geographically part of the Northlands, and it is also a strip of water in terms of economy and blood, not to mention witnessing that after Castel defeated Boulder, this pocket county that didn't even have a viscount didn't have the capital to resist.

Boulder had long regarded it as a crown to strengthen its control over Castel, and had avoided the emergence of large aristocratic families here, eventually cheapening Castel, who had merged with the Tulip County instead.

Charlotte received the local nobles in the Tulip Fortress, a total of six barons.

Although the territorial treaty between Boulder and Castel had not yet been formally signed, and the tulip nobles had not officially sworn allegiance to Charlotte, they had already expressed their submission to Castel in words and deeds.

After meeting with the nobles, Charlotte spoke alone with the Earl of Gaston for another hour.

No one knew what Charlotte had talked about with Earl Gaston.

At the end of the conversation, Count Gaston handed over all the standing control of Tulip Collar to Castel, and left Tulip alone, returning to Boulder with the help of the ultra-long-range teleportation circle provided by the Duchy of Violet.

】

It is difficult to understand the extraordinary standing equipment that has been run by his family for more than ten years.

Not only Tulip Collar, but even the nobles of Castel are difficult to understand.

It is said that this was a secret agreement between the Earl of Gaston and Castel; It is said that this was because the Count of Castel had renounced his declaration of celibacy, intending to marry the Gaston family; And even more outrageous; There are also rumors that the Earl of Gaston is infatuated with Charlotte of Castel, so he first helps Castel rebel against Boulder, and then gives away the Extraordinary Reserve......

Even if...... With the age of Earl Gaston, he was enough to be a grandfather to Charlotte of Castell.

Not to mention, there are still many people who believe in the most outrageous statement in the back, and even the nobles have many who are convinced.

Especially those who have seen the little Count of Castel with their own eyes.

"It was indeed a beautiful lady, youthful, beautiful, pure...... Like an angel sent by God to earth! ”

"Hiccup, don't talk about Earl Gaston, even I, who only glance at me, will fall in love with her."

A down-and-out aristocrat, who boasted that he had seen Charlotte at a banquet at the Earl's Court, burped in the tavern and talked eloquently.

In short, rumors about the Earls of Gaston and the Earls of Castel were rampant for a while.

The affairs of the aristocracy, especially the great nobles, even if they are chasing the wind, will always arouse people's interest.

Eat melons.

In any era, especially when entertainment is already scarce, this is a popular thing.

It wasn't until the city hall of Beigang severely dealt with a group of rumor-mongering mercenaries and down-and-out nobles that this outrageous rumor gradually weakened.

Of course, this weakening is limited to the continuities.

Similar topics are still in demand in Castel's less controlled vassal realms and around Castel, especially in taverns and salons.

At the same time, the statement about how charming, stunning, and beautiful the little count of Castel was became more and more widespread, so that Charlotte, who originally had the titles of "Pearl of Boulder" and "Beauty Lord", became more and more famous......

The ripple effect even affected Castre's diplomacy.

Charlotte was stunned to find that after that, there were many more nobles from all over the world who came to visit Castel, and many of them were even heirs to the title, or simply the lord himself.

However, what happened next in Boulder made this outrageous rumor gradually lose its market.

After Count Gaston returned to the Duchy of Boulder, he quickly took the lead and organized a group of scattered Boulder nobles in the name of Castel's allies and supporters of Boulder, established the Regency Cabinet of Boulder, and started peace talks with Castel.

Among them, the Count of Gaston, as the most influential count of Boulder, was unanimously elected as the regent by the Council of Lorde Nobles.

When the news came out, many sharp-minded nobles came back to their senses.

"Count Gaston must have reached some kind of exchange of interests with Castel, and obtained Castel's support on the condition of supporting Castel's independence, merging Tulip Collars, and mastering Tulip Army......"

"Boulder was the loser, and it is said that many nobles were taken prisoner as a result, and there was no better place to negotiate with Castel on behalf of Boulder than the Earl of Gaston."

An experienced kingdom lord judged.

However, when the news reached Castel, some of Castel's nobles were a little puzzled.

"Your Excellency, Lord Count...... Not going to fight for the position of regent? ”

Viscount Leon Castel couldn't help but ask.

Charlotte shook her head:

"Fight? Why should I fight? After becoming the regent, I am still a vassal of the Balder, even if I actually control the Balder, what can I do? ”

"Lord Viscount, take a long-term view, our goal was not Boulder from the beginning, and Bourder is not the end we can reach."

As she spoke, she chuckled again:

"Not to mention...... The arrival of the Earl of Gaston as Regent makes no difference to us, and there is one more helper to divert His Majesty's attention. ”

……

Earl Gaston was quick.

After becoming regent, he began to "negotiate" with Castel, and the treaty of peace between the two sides was soon made public.

The indemnity aspect of the treaty is similar to that of the Duchy of Violet.

The Duchy of Boulder will pay a ransom of 6,000,000 quintanas for all nobles and soldiers captive, including the Duchess of Eleanor, as well as extraordinary materials equivalent to 15,000,000 quintana, all of which will be paid within three months, and all the expenses for the captives' food and lodging within three months will be borne by the Duchy of Boulder.

In addition to this, it is the recognition of the independence of Castel and the sovereignty of the tulip collar.

Incidentally, after the treaty was signed, Duchess Eleanor was not released immediately, but continued to recuperate in Castel.

At this point, the Boulder-Castel War ended completely, and Charlotte, as the biggest winner, not only unified the Northlands, but also received a sky-high ransom and nearly 1,500 sets of kingdom-standard equipment.

However, despite the rewards, Charlotte felt as if she had forgotten something.

It wasn't until three days after the official treaty was signed, when news of the Isaac prisoner of war camp being attacked by violet deserters came from the north, that Charlotte suddenly remembered that she still had thousands of Isaac hussar prisoners of war who had participated in the Castel rebellion to deal with.
