Tome of Blood Chapter 321

"A banner of violets?"

"W... Willett?"

After hearing what the sentinel said, the Violet soldiers were all stunned.

Although the Star-Moon War has passed more than ten years, as an ancient family that has ruled the Violet Principality for nearly a thousand years, Willett's prestige and legend are still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Baron Bettel is the same.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized something, rummaged in his pocket, and soon found a bunch of badges strung together with rope.

The badge looks like a violet flower, carved with exquisite patterns and complicated magic patterns, and at this moment, it is emitting a faint light, as if it has sensed something.

Seeing the light of the badge, Baron Betel's expression suddenly changed.

This is the family coat of arms inherited by the Willett family.

Only the direct descendants of the Willett family and recognized clansmen will have it and be able to sense each other.

"Lord Baron, shall we... try to negotiate with them, or should we evacuate from another direction?"

The Violet Knight following Betel couldn't help asking.

Baron Bettel stared at the violet badge in his hand for a while, then looked out of the woods in surprise, with a hesitant expression.

Soon, another vigilant veteran sent news:

"Master Baron! Sir Baron! Their team stopped about 500 meters outside the forest! They played a semaphore to meet you! And...the semaphore from the Star-Moon War period!"

"The semaphore during the Star-Moon War?"

Baron Bettel's eyes narrowed slightly.

After hesitating for a few breaths, he said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, enter a state of combat readiness, prepare for combat and evacuation..."

"Come here a few people, go meet them with me."

Picking out a few knights and soldiers who volunteered, Baron Betel walked out of the woods.

Outside the woods, the heavily armed Castel cavalry stayed about 500 meters away. There were a large number of them, probably one or two thousand.

They held high the flags of violet flowers, and even the leading knights waved white battle flags, signaling a truce.

Baron Betel motioned for the following soldiers to stop, then took a step forward, looked at Castel's army, his eyes wandered between the cavalry, and said in a deep voice:

"I am Violet Commander Guillaume."

"Who? Who wants to see me?"

Seeing Baron Betel, an armored knight on Castel's side immediately left the team on horseback and rushed towards Baron Betel.

He is tall, nearly two meters.

Looking at the approaching knight, the Violet soldier suddenly showed vigilance.

Baron Betel, who is a starry first-order transcendent, has better eyesight.

He saw the same mottled armor on the opponent's chest, the violet flower pattern on his chest was exactly the same as his knight armor, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

The knights of Castelfang soon arrived not far from Baron Betel.

He stopped his horse, stood in the shadow of the big tree, the vicissitudes of eyes behind the helmet fell on Baron Betel, and sighed:

"Little Guillaume...it really is you."

Hearing this long-standing title and that somewhat familiar voice, Baron Betel's expression was in a trance for a while.

He looked at the tall knight in front of him in surprise, and said in a deep voice:

"Your Excellency... who is it?"

Knight Castel slowly took off his helmet, revealing a face of vicissitudes and resoluteness.

Seeing that familiar face, long memories suddenly revived in Baron Betel's mind:

"La...Master Lahaile? You...you are still alive!"

Recognizing the identity of the person coming, Baron Betel's eyes widened.

La Haile de Raine.

The last knight commander of the Willett family, the personal guard knights loyal to Willett's direct branch, and also the knights of the last batch of Violet knights who had received knight training in Violet Castle, including Baron Betel. Art and fencing teacher.

I saw Knight Lahaile smiled slightly and said:

"Guillaume, long time no see."

"After so many years, you have become an excellent commander who can stand alone."

Looking at Knight Lahaire, Baron Betel's expression was in a trance for a while, and he couldn't help sighing:

"Master Lahaile, long time no see."

"You... look like you haven't changed much since then..."

After speaking, it seemed that he had thought of something, Baron Bettel's face changed slightly, and he became vigilant in an instant:

"You...Why did you deliberately unfurl Willett's flag in Castel's army?"

"Could it be that you have already pledged allegiance to Castel and betrayed Willett!"

After hearing Baron Bettel's words, Rachel shook his head:

"Betray Willett? No, of course not."

"I have been Willett's personal guard knight from the beginning to the end, before, now, and in the future."

"The reason why I am standing here is because my little master wants to see you. Of course...she was your little master once."

"Little... little master?"

Baron Betel was taken aback for a moment.

After finishing speaking, Knight Lahaile turned his head, looked towards Castel's army, and shouted:

"Miss, it is indeed Baron Bettel! Guillaume de Berthe-Villette!"

After listening to Rachel's words, Castel's army became agitated slightly, and saw the cavalry in the army slowly move aside to make way for a path.

Immediately afterwards, a young woman riding a black war horse, wearing a black aristocratic skirt armor, and a cloak appeared in Baron Betel's sight.

The mysterious young woman was driving a horse, and soon came to the side of the knight Lahaile, while the knight Lahaile who had dismounted took a step back and stood respectfully behind him.

"You...you are..."

Looking at the aristocratic costume painted with violet flowers on the woman, Baron Betel became more and more suspicious.

Immediately afterwards, the young woman who also entered the shadow of the big tree also took off her cloak, revealing her real appearance.

It was a beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.

She has beautiful long flaxen hair that can only be owned by the direct descendants of the Willett family, and her amber eyes are full of smiles:

"Brother Guillaume, long time no see."

Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, his long-standing memories were completely revived.

The image of the other party gradually overlapped with a certain figure deep in his memory. Baron Betel's eyes widened, with a bit of disbelief in his expression:

"Ah...Miss Agnes?!"

"You...you are still alive?!"

But soon, he fixed his eyes again, and his expression became puzzled:

"No, is it really you? You...how can you look so young, just like back then?"

"And... why are you standing with Castel's army?"

After hearing what Baron Bettel said, Agnes sighed:

"It's a long story..."

"The grievances between the Willett family and Castel are over. Now Castel is the force that helps the Willett family revitalize, and is also the Suzerain that the Willett family follows."

As she spoke, Agnes looked at Baron Bettel and said seriously:

"Brother Guillaume, Willett is no longer your lord, and the knight contract between you and the Willett family... has also ended."
