"Mother? Where are you going? ”

Watching her mother walk towards the Dorn, Natalie panicked.

The little girl didn't know what was going on, but she had a bad premonition.

It was as if his mother had suddenly become a very strange stranger, and was about to leave him forever.

Samwell grabbed her and comforted, "Don't worry, your mother is just going back where she came from." ”

"Where did you come from? What do you mean? ”

"Your mother is from Starfall. She is the young lady of the Dane family. Samwell rubbed Natalie's soft hair, "And you too." ”

Natalie's purple eyes widened, completely stunned by the news.

Countless thoughts swirled through her mind, so that she didn't know what to say at all, and just froze in place for a while.

On the other side, Ashara had already walked up to the Dornites and asked an older knight, "Sir Muta, do you remember me?" ”

"Miss Ashara...... It's really you! The old knight couldn't believe his eyes, "But, but you're not already ......"

"I did try to kill myself by jumping into the summer sea because of something, but the gods obviously had plans for me and didn't let me die in the sea."

"Praise the Seven Gods!" The old knight excitedly drew a seven-pointed star on his chest.

He immediately realized that Ashara's return meant that the title of Starfall would no longer be an unsolved problem, let alone be coveted by careerists.

Because Ashara Dane is the undisputed first heir to the title of Earl of Starfall City at this time!

Ashara smiled slightly, then turned to look at the other knights of the House of Dain, calling out their names one by one, and greeting them.

Even some of the Daine veterans, Ashara could name them.

This made everyone no longer doubt her identity.

And at such a delicate time, Ashara's appearance is like a ray of light, giving these Dornites in darkness great hope.

So, the Dorn, led by several knights, knelt down in front of Ashala, raised their swords above their heads with both hands, and said in a loud voice:

"Dear Miss Ashara Dane, we swear allegiance to you and ,...... from now on"

But in the face of this scene, Ashara shook her head slightly, interrupting the allegiance of the Dorn.

Everyone was immediately anxious: "Miss Asharah, why do you refuse to accept our allegiance?" Did you know that the Dane family of Starfall is dying and needs you to go back and inherit the title? ”

"Nope. When I jumped from the White Stone Sword Tower, Ashara Dane was dead. Now I am a Nala who serves the old gods, and I am the patriarch of the Raven Tribe, so I can't go back and inherit Starfall City. ”

After saying this, without waiting for the Dornite to speak again, Ashara added, "However, my daughter can go back with you." ”

"You still have a daughter?" The people of Dorn only felt that the peak had turned around, and hope had risen again.

"Yes." Ashara turned back and beckoned to her daughter.

Natalie hurriedly trotted over.

Samwell watched the scene thoughtfully.

"Mother!" Natalie took her mother's hand and stood behind her with some wincing.

Ashara pushed her daughter in front of her and said to Dorne:

"She's my daughter, Natalie Dane."

"I don't know what Miss Natalie's father is......"

"Of course it's my husband, the previous patriarch of the Raven Tribe, Rune."

The Dorne knights frowned.

Although Ashara emphasized "husband", she wanted to make it clear to everyone that Natalie was born out of wedlock and was Dane, not the lowly "Shad".

But it is undeniable that she does have the blood of a savage in her body.

In a sense, she may not be as noble as some illegitimate children.

In the face of everyone's silence, Natalie seemed to be a little flustered, and her petite body began to tremble.

At this moment, Samwell stepped forward and said to the young squire:

"Hughes, your original master has died in battle, and now the gods have given you a chance to choose again, you must take advantage of it."

Hughes suddenly came to his senses, quickly knelt down in front of Natalie, and said loudly:

"Dear Miss Natalie Dayne, I, Hughes Dayne, hereby swear allegiance to you, and from now on, my sword will be wielded only for you!"

Natalie was a little overwhelmed, and it wasn't until Samwell pushed her that she woke up from a dream, and said:

"I accept your allegiance."

Hughes stood up, then turned to his companions behind him, and said loudly:

"What's the matter with you guys? Why is the heir of Starfall reluctant to be loyal? Have you forgotten your vows? ”

The Dorns looked at each other, but after watching Samwell and the other riverbend soldiers staring at them, they finally knelt down and swore allegiance to Natalie.

In fact, Samwell was also a little surprised that Ashara actually rejected Starfall City and pushed his daughter out.

However, this is a good thing for him.

Because Ashara is mature and experienced after all, although she will not be an enemy of Hawksbill Island after inheriting Starfall City, Samwell will definitely not be able to take advantage of too much, and everything must be discussed with her.

But Natalie is different, for such an immature little girl, Samwell has a conscience not to hollow out Starfall City......

Moreover, Natalie has a flawed background after all, so she must rely on an outside force like Samwell to suppress those forces in Starfall who disobey her.

In short, now such an arrangement is actually more convenient for Samwell to secretly control Starfall City.

He didn't know if Ashara had thought of it, or if she did, but he still chose to trust Samwell.

"Good!" Samwell smiled and clapped, "Miss Natalie, now that you're the master of Starfall, we have to talk about war reparations." ”

Natalie was stunned for a moment, then looked at her mother as if asking for help, but her mother just smiled at her and said:

"You will have to make your own decisions about this kind of thing in the future."

Natalie was helpless, so she had to turn her head to look at Hughes and the others behind her.

But Samwell coughed lightly, and the Dornish immediately lowered their heads, as if they were suddenly very interested in the rocks on the ground.

Natalie pouted, and had to say:

"All right, Lord Caesar...... Sir Caesar, what compensation do you say? ”

Samwell grinned, revealing eight white teeth, and said:

"Don't worry, Natalie, I won't take advantage of you, I will only ask for reasonable compensation. You see, you should compensate my soldiers who were wounded or even killed in the war, right? ”

"Hmm. How much is the compensation? ”

"Slightly injured one person with ten copper plates, seriously injured one person with five silver deer, and killed one person with three golden dragons." Samwell quickly gave a string of numbers, and then without waiting for Natalie to think about it, he immediately added, "And the houses destroyed by the war, you have to pay for them, right?" ”

"Hmmm......"

"And those brandies, you know how expensive they are, and now they're all ruined in this war, and my heart is bleeding. However, I won't raise the price with you, twenty silver deer a gallon, that's reasonable, right? ”

“……”

"And my castle! You have also seen that the entire exterior wall is on fire, and now I don't know how much it will cost to repair it, especially since this has seriously delayed the construction period, I think Starfall City will not only have to lose money, but also send craftsmen to help me build, this is not too much to ask, right? ”

“……”

"There are also the elderly and children in the welfare home, they have to move for this war, they can't eat well and sleep unsteadily, and they are afraid, so it's reasonable for me to ask them for some mental damages, right?"

“……”

Natalie was dizzy by these unintelligible terms, couldn't help but rub her head, and said helplessly:

"Alright, alright, Sir Caesar, when the time comes, you will give me a final number. However, I don't know if I can afford it...... Moreover, is Starfall really mine? ”

"Of course it's yours! You are now the first in line to the title of House of Dane! Samwell smiled, "As for whether you can afford to pay or not, you don't have to worry about this, I am a benevolent lord and am willing to accept installments." ”

"What do you mean by installments?"

"It's that you owe me money, and I can't afford to pay it back for the time being, but I can pay it back slowly in the future."

"Well, thank you so much, Sir Caesar."

"You're welcome, that's what a gentleman should do."

……

Ashara watched all of this from the sidelines, and suddenly began to suspect that it didn't seem like a wise decision for her to put her daughter in the position of Lord of Starfall City......
