The day after leaving the Grey Iron Citadel, the results of the negotiations were quickly announced, and Browning summoned all the knights and lords of the nobles and read the results.

"I regret that we have to leave the Danube province, it is an untold shame, but I hope you will remember this shame. The future is still very long, and one day we will get back all that we have lost, and the shame of adding to our bodies will be returned tenfold! ”

It is customary to let go of cruel words, otherwise you will not be able to get over your face.

Browning then spoke of the greatest concern of the people: "Knights from outside the Danube, His Majesty will remember your exploits, but this time there will be no real reward. The knights of the Danube provinces, your fiefdoms, your fiefs, and the king's fiefs will be re-divided in the other provinces. ”

There was a pause.

He continued: "As for the resources in your food and fiefdoms, you can take them with you, and if you can't take them, you can negotiate with the local city administrator to buy them, and convert them at half of the market price. But the Grand Duchy of the Danube only gives you five days to deal with it, as soon as possible. ”

After saying that, Browning was not interested in saying more, and waved his hand to let the knights go back by themselves, and after he returned to the camp, he found Aldington: "I will leave the Danube Province today, you go back to your own castle to pack up first, and then go to Versailles to find me directly." ”

"Yes, sir." Aldington was not in high spirits.

Although he has not traveled for a long time, he is also reluctant to abandon all the family business like this, which is the hard work of three or four generations starting from his great-grandfather.

As if seeing Aldington's loss, Browning patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be downcast, the current trough is for tomorrow's rise." Your talent is outstanding, and when you realize your talent, you can get back what the Iris family has lost. ”

"I will."

"Good."

Browning quickly left the camp with the knights, and Aldington followed the Iris Knights, leaving the Grey Iron Castle, marching all the way, until the stars covered the sky, and the Knights finally arrived at the Butterfly Castle.

"Disband on the spot, go back and pack up, sort out your own property, and I'll help you personally when you come back." Baron Aureno said.

"Thank you, sir!"

……

On this night, the family gathered, and only the Ottem family was missing.

Old Lady Carly has been praying to the three gods at the altar of the manor for the past few days, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight with the naked eye: "Thank you three gods, you father and son have returned safely, I have been unable to close my eyes all night in the past few days, and the Danube Province, which has always been peaceful, has suddenly changed its flag." ”

"It's also expected, the marriage between the Rock Family and the Red-Capped Falcon Family is a sign, but no one thought that things would be so sudden and the turmoil would be so huge."

"What is that Maxwell's identity, and how did he become the Grand Duke?"

For Maxwell, the nobles of the Plantagenet Kingdom don't know much, after all, they are sinners who have been deprived of their royal status and even their surnames. The news that he became a dragon knight was naturally suppressed by the royal family, so many people were at a loss.

Wait for Baron Aureno to tell the other party's past.

Old Lady Carly immediately scolded: "He has a temper and should go to the royal family, why did he come to the Danube Province to make trouble, the Iris family has never had any holiday with him!" ”

Aldington comforted: "Grandmother, Maxwell wants revenge and does not have absolute strength, so he will attack the Danube Province, and this operation is still completed with the support of the Gallic Empire." In a real sense, still guided by interests, the Gallic Empire needed a duchy to facilitate the slave trade. ”

Lady Helena sighed, "Durotan has practiced Aureno many times, and we should have been ready to divert the family's resources. ”

"Who would have expected it to happen so suddenly, and it would be useless to be upset."

The mood of the family was not high, especially Mrs. Carly, who suddenly burst into tears while eating dinner: "Butterfly Castle, I have lived all my life. ”

"Mother, don't be so sad, we can build another butterfly castle in the new fiefdom."

"Build another butterfly castle, it won't be this castle, my father and I have stumbled for many years, and the memories left behind are in this castle."

Lady Helena caressed Old Lady Carly's back, and Baron Aureno bowed his head and said nothing.

Aldington suddenly laughed: "Grandmother, don't be sad, this butterfly castle will be placed here first, give me ten years, and I will take it back!" Autumn leaves are the territory of the Iris family, and it is and will be, and the Grand Duchy of the Danube cannot take it away! ”

"My little irises, although this is to comfort Grandmother, Grandmother believes in you." Mrs. Carly put her arms around Aldington, laughing with tears in her eyes.

Aldington was still not used to such intimate movements.

But he suddenly felt that he had a strong motivation, in the past, he always held his own traverser, held his own golden finger, and dreamed of becoming a dragon knight or even a demigod, but to be precise, it was like a child vowing to become a scientist, not a really strong goal. But now, he has a strong purpose.

Recapture Momiji Town, recover Butterfly Castle, and revitalize the glory of the Iris family.

"Just let me work for it!"

……

Just as Oreno was about to travel to deal with the family business, and the knights' estate, an unexpected visit arrived, and it was Durotan Rock.

"Orenor, you don't have to bother with this, I'm here to buy all the properties of Momiji Town and Butterfly Castle. It's not half price, but it's not on the market either, and I'm planning to buy it at a 7% discount on the market price. If the Iris family plans to return in the future, they can buy it back from me at the original price. ”

"Lord Bomber, you ...... this"

"It's a kind of compensation, I used to be the leader of the Danube nobility, but I failed everyone, and now it's not easy to socialize more with my master, so in this way, I repay the trust you have placed in me in the past." After Durotan finished speaking, he did not stay at the luncheon at Butterfly Castle, but only left his own subordinates.

Docking and trading fiefdoms.

At night.

In the study.

Precious paintings and books have been packed and ready to leave with the departure of the family. In the empty study, the butler Carson carefully wiped the desk, this precious desk is made of solid wood, embedded with a magic matrix, which can make people relax, but it is too heavy to take away.

It can only be sold.

"Master, I'm really reluctant to leave here." Seeing Oreno and his son walk in, he said in a sad tone.

"It's okay Carson, we'll be back one day." Oreno comforted, "Take a bottle of Bartini from the cellar and we'll have a drink together." ”

"As you wish."

Waiting for the butler Carson to leave, Baron Aureno sighed: "I am afraid that the Grand Duchy of the Danube is about to gain a long-term foothold, from today's actions in Durontan Bombard, what have you found?" ”

"You mean......" Aldington quickly thought after the baron's reminder, "Duron Tambumber, this is a bribe, or to appease the anger of our nobles?" ”
