Chapter 307 157 Prisoners

Chapter 307 -157- Captive

Viscount Len-Castell soon met the leader of the reinforcements.

He was a very handsome young man. Although he was dressed as a mercenary, he carried an aristocratic elegance in his movements, without the rudeness of a mercenary at all.

The other party came to Charlotte and bowed gracefully:

"Beautiful Lord Earl, we meet again."

His voice was gentle and had a slight accent from Fallen Star Kingdom.

Combined with the galley warships anchored in the bay, the old Viscount soon realized that the leader in front of him was probably a noble from the Fallen Star Kingdom.

So...are the reinforcements from Lord Earl the noble army from Falling Star Kingdom?

Viscount Len-Castle's heart moved slightly.

He couldn't help but glance at the young earl, his eyes wandering before the young man and Charlotte.

With his sophisticated eyesight, he quickly observed more details.

The young man was polite and respectful, and his gestures vaguely revealed respect for the young earl.

However, although respectful, it is not flattering.

This attitude is more like a deeper respect, rather than a status gap.

Thinking of the secrets he knew about the Castel family, Viscount Leon Castel quickly made some guesses:

Could it be that... the young people in front of me represent those fallen star nobles who have an old relationship with the former countess?

The more the old Viscount thought about it, the more he felt that this might be the case.

Yes, only in this way can we explain why the other party is pretending to be a mercenary.

After all, he is an old enemy who has been fighting against the Crescent Kingdom for decades. If he participates in Castel's war openly as part of the Fallen Star Nobles' army, it will probably cause a strong backlash from the entire Crescent Nobles.

On the contrary, it would be much more convenient to join the battle as a mercenary.

The more Viscount Leon Castell thought about it, the more he felt that he had discovered the truth.

Of course, he didn't know that the reason why Earl Yurst showed respect to Charlotte was actually because he regarded Charlotte as the spokesperson of the True Ancestor in the world.

"Your Excellency, Captain, thank you for your support to Castel. Without your support, Castel would have been in danger this time."

Charlotte looked at Earl Yurst and smiled.

Yurst glanced at the nobles following Charlotte calmly and said with the same smile:

"The Nightwalker Mercenary Group is Castel's most loyal ally. If Castel encounters trouble, of course he must provide full support."

Count Jurst said.

After speaking, he pointed to the tent behind him:

"My Lord Earl, we captured a prisoner with a special identity in the enemy camp last night. I think you may be interested."

"Oh? Prisoner?"

Charlotte suddenly became interested.

Viscount Leon-Castle couldn't help but look in the direction Yurst was pointing. After seeing the heavily guarded soldiers outside the tent, his eyelids suddenly jumped:

"Could it be...the third prince?"

Yurst glanced at him and shook his head:

"The whereabouts of the third prince of Xinyue are unknown. He probably escaped."

"However, the identities of these two prisoners may be more useful to Castel."

"Oh? You two?"

Charlotte's heart moved slightly, with curiosity on her face.

Even Viscount Len Castel cast a doubtful glance at the tent behind him.

Following Earl Yurst, everyone quickly entered the heavily guarded tent.

In the tent, two mercenaries in cloaks were guarding a young knight noble covered in blood. His face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to be in a coma.

And when Viscount Leon Castell saw clearly the appearance of the young knight and the iconic purple lion emblem on his chest, he suddenly lost his voice and said:

"Earl Lint?!"

"Sir Len Castel, do you know him?"

Charlotte asked curiously.

The old Viscount nodded and replied respectfully:

"Your Majesty, Earl, I attended Duke Violet's banquet many years ago and met him once."

"He is the eldest son of Duke Violet and the first heir to the Duke of Violet. He is also an extraordinary knight whose strength has reached the second level of Silver Moon."

Speaking of this, the old viscount couldn't help but said:

"My lord, this is indeed a very useful prisoner for Castel!"

"He is the most valued heir of Duke Violet. He alone is enough to rival those captured Violet soldiers, enough to get us a sky-high ransom! Or even...territory!"

After listening to the old Viscount's words, Charlotte's expression became clear, and her eyes brightened up when she looked at Count Lint, as if she was looking at a bunch of human-shaped Quintana.

However, her eyes quickly scanned the tent and continued to ask:

"Your Excellency, Captain, there is only one person here, where is the other prisoner?"

"Your Majesty, the other prisoner's mental state is not very good, so he was placed alone in the innermost room."

Yurst said.

After speaking, he looked at the large group of nobles surrounding Charlotte and said:

"It's best...not to let so many people in."

Charlotte nodded slightly and glanced around:

"The others stay, Mr. Leon Castel and Mr. Vincent follow me."

Viscount Len-Castell and Vincent Romain-Fol responded respectfully, following Charlotte into the innermost compartment of the tent under the leadership of Yurst.

There was a simple bed in the compartment, but there was no one on it, only a messy quilt.

In the corner, a thinly dressed woman was curled up.

When she saw everyone coming in, she hid behind the bed like a frightened animal.

"Ms. Eleanor?"

Charlotte was surprised after seeing the woman's face clearly.

Viscount Ryan-Castell and Vincent couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Eleanor? Hiss... Duchess of Borde?!"

After realizing the identity of the woman, the eyes of the two nobles lit up almost at the same time.

No one, this is the lord of Borde.

The real lord!

The reason why the third prince Philip was able to go to war with Castel was not because of his identity as a royal prince, but because of his identity as the husband of the Duchess of Borde.

All his power in Borde came from his wife!

In other words, since even the Duchess of Borde was taken prisoner, this war... can be declared over.

The old viscount and Vincent looked excited, but Charlotte noticed the faint scars and bruises on each other's bodies.

She frowned slightly:

"Captain, what are these injuries on her body?"

Earl Yust shook his head:

"She had these injuries when we found her. She must have been abused for a long time."

"Abuse?"

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.

"That's right."

Earl Yust nodded slightly.
