Chapter 315 165 Peace Treaty

Chapter 315 -165- Peace Treaty

After meeting with Charlotte, Count Witre settled in Northport.

As the envoy of Violet, Duke Violet has given him considerable power in the negotiation. However, Charlotte has raised the demand for territory, and the Duke must make up his mind on this matter.

"Oh? She wants the territory of the Belt Barony?"

In the guest room of the Earl's Mansion, Duke Violet's reflection was reflected in the crystal ball and he asked in a deep voice.

Teleportation crystal ball.

This is a magic prop similar to the Falling Star Kingdom's communication crystal. However, it cannot be mass-produced like the Falling Star Kingdom's communication crystal. It is a magic tool collected by the Buat-Lint family and rewarded by the Crescent Royal Family.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Duke, she is not willing to exchange the prince for Master Victor."

Count Witre said respectfully.

"Which family's territory is the Belt Barony now? Is it still the branch of Willett?"

Duke Violet asked again.

"Yes, Your Highness the Duke is still a branch of the Willett family, the Bert-Willett family."

Duke Violet narrowed his eyes:

"The Bert Willett who always wanted to restore Willett's glory?"

"Yes."

"If I remember correctly, his family also participated in this war?"

Baron Witre's expression was a little strange:

"Yes, but... they seem to be missing. I didn't see them on Castel's prisoner of war list, and they didn't return to their territory."

Duke Violet was silent.

After a long time, he sighed and said:

"Promise Count Castel. Bert Willett has always stayed in Violet. He has always been a trouble to me, Boit Lint. Giving it to Castel will also facilitate the complete erasure of the power in Violet." Traces of Erlite.”

"Your Excellency, Bert Willett is a descendant of the Willett family after all. Do you think that if they really become Castel's vassals, will it be detrimental to the principality in the future?"

Count Witre couldn't help but ask.

Duke Violet glanced at him:

"Wittere, do you know which family the Bert-Willett family hates the most?"

Count Witre was stunned for a moment and answered uncertainly:

"Roman? After all, it was Roman who defeated Willett, causing them to lose everything..."

"No."

Duke Violet shook his head and said meaningfully:

"It's the Castel family."

"The Castel family?"

Earl Witre was obviously stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came to his senses:

"Oh! I remembered! The Willett family was defeated in the Second Roman War because of Castel!"

As he spoke, he looked at the reflection in the crystal ball, his eyes slightly bright:

"Bert-Willett hates Castel, and Castel will definitely entrust the heroes to expand his territory. There will definitely be a conflict between them!"

"So...you mean to use Castel's power to solve the last side branch of Willet?"

Duke Violet chuckled, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Seeing this, Count Witre's posture became more respectful:

"Your Majesty the Duke, your wisdom is admired by my subordinates..."

As he spoke, he hesitated and said:

"Then, Your Highness the Prince..."

"Since Castel doesn't want him, let him go back to Boulder and fend for himself."

Duke Violet said calmly.

It was obvious that he didn't want to keep some idiot who had gotten himself into trouble.

…

With Duke Violet's consent, Earl Witre re-drafted the terms of the peace talks according to Charlotte's request.

The Violet Messenger was very efficient, and Charlotte saw the final version of the peace treaty the next afternoon.

The treaty stipulates:

1. From now on, the Violet Principality and the Count of Castells have unilaterally ceased war, and both parties have returned to the border line before the war.

2. The Principality of Violet recognizes the independence of the Earl of Castres and its sovereignty over the Earldom of Tulip, promises to support Castel in the Parliament of Nobles, and promises to introduce other kingdom lords to Castel.

3. The Violet Principality will redeem the captured levies at a price of 12.5 quintana per person, the standing soldiers at a price of 125 quintana per person, and the enchanted standing soldiers with an equal amount of extraordinary materials in ten installments.

4. The Principality of Violet will redeem the captured nobles at a price of 3,600 quintana for each knight, 50,000 quintana for each baron, and 250,000 quintana for each viscount. Among them, there are 63 knights, 9 barons, and 4 viscounts. people.

5. All the extraordinary equipment of the nobles will be redeemed by each noble family. For those who are unable to redeem it, their captured equipment will belong to Castel, and the Violet Principality will no longer have anything to do with it.

6. The Principality of Violet needs to pay a total ransom of 2.43 million quintana to the Count of Castells, as well as extraordinary materials with a price equivalent to 20 million quintana. All ransoms must be paid within three months, and everything captured within three months The cost of food and accommodation will be borne by the Violet Principality.

7. In exchange for the Baron of Bertel, the Duchy of Violet redeemed Victor de Boit-Lint and transferred Baron Bertel to a vassal of the Castel family.

…

Charlotte was quite satisfied with the treaty.

The ransom of 2.43 million is still a small amount. The Earl of Castells is not short of money, just four months of fiscal taxes.

Supernatural materials are the biggest part. Even if converted into quintana, it is almost four years of Castel's income. Supernatural materials are in short supply. The actual value of 20 million worth of supernatural materials will only be higher.

"Although I thought that supernatural equipment would be more expensive than the ransom of the captives, I never thought it would be so valuable."

Looking at the list on the treaty, Charlotte couldn't help but sigh.

"My Lord Earl, it's like this. If there are no people, they can be recruited again. Even the noble families have never lacked people, but supernatural equipment is the foundation accumulated by each family over the years..."

Said Viscount Ryan Castel.

"My Lord Viscount is right. In fact, if it weren't for the continuous improvement of magic technology in recent years, the efficiency of the workshop has also been improved, which has reduced the cost of enchantment. Otherwise, the price of these supernatural equipment would be even higher."

On the other side, Vincent of the Roman-Fol family also nodded.

Viscount Roman-Fol led the fleet to follow Earl of Yust to the north. He accompanied Charlotte on behalf of the Roman-Fol family.

After listening to the words of the two accompanying nobles, Charlotte was thoughtful.

After a moment of silence, she said to the old viscount:

"Your Excellency, you should pay more attention to the fulfillment of the contract with Violet."

"I will follow your orders."

Viscount Ryan-Castell said respectfully.

After speaking, he hesitated for a moment and asked again:

"My Lord, regarding the Duchy of Boerde..."

"I will deal with the Duchy of Boerde myself."

Charlotte said.
