Listening to the Governor's words, Vernon looked complicated.

He stopped talking, glanced at the Governor, and the Governor waved his hand and looked at Xavier and the others.

Receiving this gaze, they quickly understood what the Governor meant, and then they left the place on their own accord and with interest, except for Viscount Wallace, who remained in the room and listened to their negotiations.

Xavier, who pushed open the door, looked out the window of the governor's palace, and saw that the bright moonlight seemed to be about to dissipate, and the long night had finally come to an end.

The sun rises over the horizon, illuminating the blood-colored city of Crete, and the roosters are crying, looking energetic.

It wasn't until early in the morning that Vernon and the Governor came out of the room, and the two seemed to have a good conversation, and the Viscount looked at his apprentice, shook his head silently, and said nothing.

After that, the garrison was stationed, and Minos's garrison in Vasilyki did not fall to the point of losing its combat effectiveness, and with the help of Vasily's native army, Minos quickly put down the rebellion.

The city of Crete has also regained its glory days, at least on the surface, if you ignore the people who hanged themselves on the side of the road.

Xavier was far away, and he looked at the new high-ranking government official, the first Vasiliki to hold such a high position, Vernon, and did not know what to say.

He didn't go to the previous villages anymore, he didn't have to think about what happened to them, and he didn't tell the little girl what happened, but from the way she thought about it, Xavier felt that she should know something.

Viscount Wallace politely declined the Governor's invitation, and the Governor wanted him to stay in Crete, but the Viscount shook his head and refused, saying that he was homesick.

The governor immediately sighed and said that he wanted to, but he was a soldier and had the duty to defend the land, so he could not leave here.

The viscount nodded in understanding, and the witcher's body hugged him, and without any further words, he left the place.

They looked at the numb Vasiliki, as if they had begun to come here, lifeless, except that Xavier could feel that there seemed to be a lot less youth.

Walking to the city gate again, this time the person in charge also became the Minos, there would be no language barrier, they saw the proof of the viscount and Xavier, and saluted them very respectfully, which made Xavier feel a little trance for a while.

He didn't sigh too much, and soon sat down on his horse, with Caroline behind her, and nearby the horses sat his master and the little girl Mary.

And before he left, Liana came to say goodbye to him, after all, she chose to stay here, this is half of her home.

They didn't talk much, the girl just thanked him and left, Xavier blessed her, and the four of them set off on their way.

The journey of day after day finally reached the end, the viscount seemed to be going to face his romantic debts back then, Xavier didn't know what the ending would be, he just smiled and let his master do what he wanted.

With his fiancée, he completed the wedding in front of the priest, but it was two years later, and at this time, he became a knight of the empire, and he really had his own title.

In front of the many guests he knew, Xavier kissed Caroline lightly and smiled embarrassedly.

They had decided to go back to the place they had previously visited, the village of Reston where they had first met.

This time it was his turn, as a baron, he was going to be the supreme leader of the defending territory, just like the captain at the beginning.

Xavier couldn't help but laugh heartily as he looked at the land to the north.
