North Harbor.

By the time the mighty Castel cavalry "suppressed the bandits" returned, the original contingent of 1,500 men had become more than 2,000 men.

The townspeople stood on both sides of the street, watching curiously as the troops entered the city gates, especially those in the middle of the army, who had unloaded their weapons and had clearly violet emblems on their armor and shields.

"It's the Violet rout that is raging in the north!"

"Is that them? I heard that those noble lords beat the crying father and called the mother......"

"Not really! I heard that even Baron Nasser's house was robbed by them, well, it's the brute who forcibly pushed the right of the first night in the territory! ”

"Well done! What a bad breath for us! ”

"However, in the end, it was defeated at the hands of the Earl."

"After all, the Earl is even more powerful, she is the one who can lead Castel to defeat the alliance of the two principalities!"

"You say...... What will the Earl do with these routs? ”

"I guess I'll make Violet pay the ransom."

"It's a shame...... The Earl is also a wise lord who hates the misdeeds of nobles, and it would be nice if the Earl could keep them. ”

"Hey, it doesn't matter if you keep the Violet soldiers or not, the key lies in their commander, I heard that the Violet rout can be organized, it's all the commander's credit."

"Commander? Is it also an aristocrat? ”

"Of course it is, it seems to be the last descendant of an old family or something......"

"That feels weird like the Earl."

“……”

The townspeople chattered and looked curiously at the army entering the city.

In the procession, Baron Bettel, who had already had his weapons confiscated, rode side by side with Agnès, surrounded by layers of Castel knights.

Listening to the discussion of the townspeople, Agnès turned her head, looked at Baron Bettel, and said with a smile:

"Brother Guillaume, how's that? Isn't the Earl of Castell's reputation different from what you imagined? ”

Baron Bettel was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Agnès looked happier:

"So...... Don't worry, she's different from other nobles, and her style is more like our Willett, I think...... Once you're a vassal of her, you'll be better off than you're in Violet. ”

"After all, one of the important reasons why you are willing to follow my father all the time is because of our Willett family's kindness to civilians!"

Listening to Agnès's words, Baron Bettel fell silent.

He was not unaware of Count Castel's reputation, and during this time he was interspersed with guerrillas in the Northlands, and he also heard a lot about Count Castel's deeds from local civilians.

For the legendary girl, it is impossible to say that you are not curious, or that you do not approve.

It's just that it was out of position and family grievances before, and it was impossible for him to reconcile with the other party.

At this point, Baron Bettel suddenly remembered the cry of the Willett when the Willett family was stripped of their titles and demoted to commoners:

"Castel! We, Willett, are enemies with you to the death! ”

But now......

Looking at the smug smile on the side of Agnès, and looking at the naturalness and ease with which the other party talked about Castel, he was finally sure...... The last direct descendant of the Willett family is really putting everything down.

Taking in Agnès's expression, Baron Bettel's mood was a little complicated.

Revenge on Castell has been a part of his life for years.

And now, suddenly, he was told that all the grievances of the past were over, and that the enemies of the past had been reconciled with the suzerains he served.

To be honest, it is impossible without a psychic impact.

Baron Bettel felt that it would take him some time to get used to it, and it would take some time to accept.

But the development of things is so dramatic, he is faced not only with reconciliation, but on the basis of reconciliation, becoming a vassal of the other side and swearing allegiance to the other side.

When he first learned the news, he even ...... I was already planning to die alone.

But the arrival of Agnès made his original plan to break off without a foundation and a reason.

Baron Bettel was at a loss.

He wasn't at a loss because he was going.

He was a nobleman and a knight, and he knew that he would be a vassal of Castel, and he knew that he had no reason to confront Castel.

But...... He really didn't know how to deal with this young earl, who had been an enemy in the past and was now about to become his king, and he didn't know how the other party would treat him.

After all, he had been stirring up trouble in Castel's rear for more than a month, refusing to surrender even after the war was over, even if he didn't hurt the civilians too much, he also made a mess in the middle of Castel, and almost filled the hatred of the Northland nobles.

You know, the aristocratic estates he plundered even included a few belonging to the Earl's Court and belonging to the Castel family, that is, the property of the young countess......

Even, he slaughtered several stewards and minor nobles of the estate.

Of course, he only found out after the robbery.

"Guillaume, we have arrived, and the Earl should be in the study now, and the knight of the Earl's Court will take you to her."

Before you know it, the procession has arrived at the Earl's Palace, and Lahair smiled at Baron Bettel and said.

After a moment's hesitation, Baron Betel turned over and dismounted, and entered the Earl's Court with Agnès.

As soon as they entered the Earl's Palace, the deacons and knights of the guard, who had already heard the news, greeted them.

"You're Baron Bettel?"

Rand, who was already the captain of the Knights of the Earl's Court, looked at Baron Bettel curiously and asked.

Looking at the knight in front of him who had the strength of the stars at a young age, Bettel's eyes were slightly condensed.

He nodded:

"Yes, I am Guillaume de Bettel-Willlit."

After saying that, Baron Bettel noticed that the other party's expression changed suddenly.

I saw that the young knight gave him a thumbs up, and then said enthusiastically:

"You're this! We have long seen that those nobles who are disobedient to the yang and yin and behave indiscriminately are not pleasing to the eye! Castel needs true nobles and knights like you to clean up these depraved creatures! ”

Looking at the knight's admiring look, Bettel was stunned for a moment.

"Alright, come with me, Lord Earl has been waiting for you for a long time."

Rand laughed.

Following the young knight, Baron Bettel entered the hall of the Earl's Court, went up to the second floor, and after turning left and right, he came to a study with a discreet and luxurious decoration.

"Lord Baron, please come in."

The knight gestured.

Baron Bettel hesitated and walked in.

In the study, a beautiful blonde girl was behind a desk, writing something.

"You're Baron Bettel?"

The girl put down the quill in her hand and asked curiously.

Baron Betel hesitated for a moment, then nodded silently.

"You're here just in time, this is the future development plan for Barony Betel sent by the Cabinet, you can see if it's realistic."

The girl pointed to a roll of parchment on the table.
