Tome of Blood Chapter 316

   Violet's actions are quite fast.

  Perhaps because of the failure of the war, the internal situation of the Violet Principality has also become somewhat unstable. The efficiency of the Violet Duke to honor the content of the treaty is quite high.

   Less than half a month after the peace talks between the two parties, Violet delivered the first batch of materials to buy extraordinary equipment to Castel, and along with the materials, there was still a third of the ransom.

  In addition, the contract documents related to the Barony of Bettel and the relevant documents for the transfer of the Barony of Bettel were also sent to Beigang.

  From this moment, Baron Bettel was actually ceded to Castel by Violet.

  A week after Castel and Violet signed the peace treaty, envoys from the capital also arrived at Beigang and brought two important news.

First, five of the nine dukes of the New Moon Kingdom have jointly signed the three princes and priests and the other twenty-eight vassals and nobles directly under the kingdom to apply to the noble council and the kingdom's court to hold a central meeting to discuss flagrant violations of the "Sacred The legality of succession of Philippe de Valva, the Third Prince of the Crescent of the Code and the Crown Deed.

  Obviously, with the defeat of the war, the third prince had lost the support of most of the nobles. King Louis V wanted to use the third prince to weaken the power of the local nobles and strengthen the centralization of power, but the nobles counterattacked.

  The envoy brought news that the Kingdom Central Conference will be held in the capital in one and a half months, and Castel also needs to attend as an important representative.

  Secondly, King Louis V issued an edict, restricting the tripartite parties of Bold, Violet and Castel to end the war and return to peace within a week.

  Of course, the truce edict arrived a bit late, as Castel and Violet had already negotiated peace a week ago.

  As for Bold, after Eleanor was captured and the expeditionary force was destroyed, the war was actually over, and all that remained was post-war negotiations.

   "Master Bois-Lint, the war is over, you can leave here with the Violet Knight."

  In the Earl's Mansion, Viscount Len-Castel looked at Earl Lint who was under house arrest, and said with a smile.

   Earl Lint, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and meditating, slowly opened his eyes, and said in silence for a long time:

   "Negotiations... over?"

   "Yes, it was over a week ago. Violet has sent your ransom, and you can already leave here."

   "What is the ransom..."

   "2.43 million Quintana, and extraordinary materials with a price equivalent to 20 million Quintana, of course... This is for soldiers, other nobles and enchanted equipment. As for you, the price offered by the Earl is the Barony of Belt."

   Viscount Lien Castel said.

   "The Barony of Belt..."

  After hearing what the old Viscount said, Earl Lint had a complicated expression.

  He gently closed his eyes and let out a long sigh of helplessness.

   And Viscount Lien-Castel continued:

   "Master Boist-Lint, news has come from the capital that the central meeting will be held in more than a month to investigate the crimes of the third prince Philip in the Boulder-Violet War."

   "The essence of this war is the willful action of the third prince Philip. You should be very clear about what the third prince is like and what he did to Lord Eleanor..."

   "Most of us have heard of your name. You are a true knight. Your lord earl said that you hope that you can stand up and expose the guilt of the third prince at the central meeting in more than a month."

  After hearing what the old Viscount said, Earl Lint fell silent.

   "Of course, it is your freedom to stand up or not. Your lord earl just hopes that you can do so. You should be very clear about whether the third prince is suitable as the heir to the throne."

  Lion - Viscount Castel added.

   After a long time, Earl Lint let out a long sigh:

   "Let me... think about it..."

   "It's natural, there is still some time before the meeting, and you have plenty of time to think about it."

  The old Viscount said with a smile.

   After finishing speaking, he looked at the time and saluted Earl Lint:

   "Lord Bois-Lint, the knights of the Earl's Mansion will take you to join Violet's team. I have to report to Lord Earl, so I won't be with you."

   After finishing speaking, the old Viscount turned around and planned to leave.

"etc…"

  Earl Lint suddenly stopped him.

   "Lord Bois-Lint, do you have anything else to say?"

   The old Viscount asked.

  Earl Lint hesitated for a moment and said:

   "Please tell Your Excellency Castel that Baron Belt... is a vassal worth recruiting."

   "He is an excellent commander and a true knight."

  After hearing his words, Viscount Leon-Castel raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that he, as the heir of the Bois-Lindt family, would have such an evaluation of the last blood of the Willett family.

   "I will, but... Baron Belt has been missing for many days. Some soldiers said that they saw him being cut off from his horse that night and fell into the Dorne River. It must have been an accident."

  Recalling the news discovered two days ago, Viscount Leon Castel said.

  After hearing what the old Viscount said, Earl Lint opened his mouth, and finally let out a long sigh:

   "Perhaps... this is fate."

  After Violet handed over the contract documents, Earl Lint and the other first batch of captives were released back.

  During this period, Castel did not abuse these people. At most, he just let the captured soldiers work as laborers for a few days, cleaned up the ruins left by the war in Beigang, and repaired the city wall.

  As for the nobles, they were actually placed under house arrest and offered food and drink. For the victors, these people were walking Quintanas.

   "Have you sent him away yet?"

  In the noble lounge of Beigang Mission Hospital, Charlotte asked while sipping sweet milk gracefully.

  She came to the mission hospital today to see Eleanor.

  Although with her comforting, Eleanor's mental state improved a lot, but after all, she was too stimulated and needed recuperation and treatment.

   In this regard, the Holy Royal Court is better than her.

  So, Eleanor has been receiving treatment from priest Lottie in the mission hospital these days.

   Today is the last course of treatment.

   "Yes, my lord, Earl Lint has been brought back by Violet's people. However, he didn't make it clear that he would expose the crimes of the third prince at the central meeting more than a month later."

   Viscount Leon Castel said respectfully.

   "It's okay, he's not the only witness, it's better to have one, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't have one."

  Charlotte said indifferently.

   "By the way, Lord Earl, before leaving, Earl Lint said a few words and wanted me to convey them to you."

   Viscount Lien-Castel hesitated for a moment, speaking respectfully.

   "Oh? What did he say?"

  Charlotte was a little curious.

   "He said that Baron Belt is a vassal worth recruiting, as well as an excellent commander and a true knight."

  The old viscount replied.

   "Baron Belt..."

  Charlotte chewed the name, pondered:

   "If I remember correctly, it was reported a few days ago that the baron had fallen into the Dorne River and disappeared?"

"indeed so."

  The old Viscount nodded.

   "I've made a note of this matter. Let's talk about it when we have news. The battle that day was chaotic, and there were many missing nobles. There is no news after so many days. There must be a high probability that something unexpected has happened."

   Charlotte said.

   As she spoke, she seemed to think of something, and she asked again:

   "By the way, what's the situation in the north?"

  The old Viscount said respectfully:

   "The war in the north is going well. Our army has advanced to the last direct territory of the Legris family, and the support of Viscount Roman-Fore and the mercenary group has also arrived. The rebellion must be completely put down soon. But..."

   "But what?"

"However, there was a problem near Beigang. There were too many rout soldiers who fled that night, and they have not been arrested. In recent days, their frequency of attacking towns has become higher and higher, causing great damage to the nobles and citizens. Big trouble..."

  Charlotte frowned:

   "It's been so long, how many deserters haven't been caught yet?"

  Seeing that Charlotte was dissatisfied, the old Viscount quickly lowered his head, with sweat oozing from his forehead:

   "I have already arranged for the cavalry to clear up the cavalry. It will take up to a week, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"

  Charlotte nodded slightly, which was regarded as approval.

   At this moment, the door of the ward was gently pushed open, and the priest Lottie, who was wearing a divine robe, came out with exhaustion on his face.

   Seeing Charlotte, she bowed respectfully:

   "My lord..."

  Charlotte waved her hand as a sign of excuses, and then asked:

   "How? How effective is the treatment?"

   Lottie sighed and said:

   "The situation...is not very good."

  The second update, released earlier tonight
