Chapter 322 -172- Audience

North Port.

When the mighty Castel cavalry returned from the "bandit suppression", the original team of 1,500 people had become more than 2,000 people.

Citizens stood on both sides of the street, curiously watching the army entering the city gate, especially those surrendered soldiers in the middle of the army, who had removed their weapons and had obvious violet symbols on their armor and shields.

"It's those violet fleeing soldiers who were wreaking havoc in the north!"

"Is that them? I heard that they beat those noble masters to tears..."

"That's right! I heard that even Baron Nasser's house was robbed by them. Well, it's the beast who forced the right of first night in the territory!"

"Well done! It really vented our anger!"

"But in the end, we were defeated by the Earl."

"After all, the Earl is more powerful. She is a person who can lead Castel to defeat the coalition forces of the two principalities!"

"What do you think... How will the Earl deal with these fleeing soldiers?"

"It should be Let Violet pay the ransom."

"What a pity... The Earl is also a wise lord who hates the aristocrats' misbehavior. It would be better if the Earl could keep them."

"Hey, it doesn't matter whether the Violet soldiers are kept or not. The key lies in their commander. I heard that the commander was the reason why the Violet's defeated soldiers were organized."

"Commander? Is he also a noble?"

"Of course, he seems to be the descendant of an ancient family..."

"That feels strangely similar to the Earl."

"..."

The citizens talked a lot and looked at the army entering the city curiously.

In the team, Baron Bertel, whose weapons had been confiscated, rode side by side with Agnes, surrounded by layers of Castel knights.

Listening to the citizens' discussion, Agnes turned around and looked at Baron Bertel, smiling:

"Brother Guillaume, how is it? Is the reputation of Count Castel different from what you imagined?"

Baron Bertel was silent for a while and nodded slightly.

Agnès looked happier:

"So... don't worry, she is different from other nobles, and her style of doing things is more like our Willett. I think... after becoming her vassal, you should live better than in Violet."

"After all, one of the important reasons why you were willing to follow my father all the time was because our Willett family treated civilians well!"

After hearing what Agnes said, Baron Bertel was silent.

He was not unaware of the reputation of Count Castel. During this period of guerrilla warfare in the north, he also heard a lot of stories about Count Castel from local civilians.

For the legendary girl, it is impossible to say that he is not curious or disapproving.

It was just that he could not reconcile with the other party because of his position and family grievances.

At this point, Baron Bertel suddenly remembered the cry of the Willett people when the Willett family was stripped of their titles and demoted to civilians:

"Castel! We Willett will be enemies with you until death!"

But now...

Looking at Agnes's smug smile, and the naturalness and ease when she talked about Castel, he finally confirmed... This true last direct descendant of the Willett family really let go of everything.

Baron Bertel felt a little complicated when he saw Agnes's expression.

For many years, revenge on Castel has become a part of his life.

And now, someone suddenly told him that all the grievances in the past were settled, and the past enemies had reconciled with the lord he served.

To be honest, it was impossible not to have a mental shock.

Baron Bertel felt that he still needed some time to adapt and accept it.

But the development of things is so dramatic. He is not only facing reconciliation, but also becoming a vassal of the other party on the basis of reconciliation and swearing allegiance to the other party.

When he first learned the news, he even... had planned to die alone.

But the arrival of Agnes made his original plan to end it lose its foundation and reason.

Baron Bertel was at a loss.

He was not at a loss because of where to go.

He was a nobleman and a knight. He knew that he would become a vassal of Castel, and he also knew that he had no reason to fight against Castel.

But... he really didn't know how to face this young earl who was once his enemy and was about to become his lord, and he didn't know how the other party would treat him.

After all, he had been stirring up trouble in the rear of Castel for more than a month, refusing to surrender even after the war ended. Even if he didn't hurt the civilians too much, he made a mess in the central part of Castel and almost filled the hatred of the nobles in the north.

You know, the noble manors he looted even included several belonging to the Earl's Mansion, belonging to the Castel family, that is, the property of the young countess...

He even killed several managers and minor nobles of the manor.

Of course, he only knew it after he had robbed and killed.

"Guillaume, we are here. The Earl should be in the study now. The Knight of the Earl's Palace will take you to see her."

Unknowingly, the team had arrived at the Earl's Mansion. La Haier smiled at Baron Bertel and said.

After hesitating for a moment, Baron Bertel dismounted and entered the Earl's Mansion with Agnes.

As soon as they entered the Earl's Mansion, the deacons and bodyguard knights who had already heard the news came to greet them.

"Are you Baron Bertel?"

Rand, who was already the captain of the Earl's Palace Guards Knights, looked at Baron Bertel curiously and asked.

Looking at the young knight in front of him who had stellar strength, Bertel's eyes narrowed slightly.

He nodded:

"Yes, I am Guillaume de Bertel-Willet."

After finishing speaking, Baron Bertel noticed that the other party's expression suddenly changed.

The young knight gave him a thumbs up, and then said enthusiastically:

"You are this one! We have long been dissatisfied with those nobles who act in secret and do evil! Castel needs real nobles and knights like you to take care of these depraved guys!"

Seeing the admiration on the knight's face, Better was stunned.

"Okay, come with me. Your Majesty the Earl has been waiting for you for a long time."

Rand laughed.

Following the young knight, Baron Bertel entered the hall of the Earl's Palace and went up to the second floor. After turning left and right, he came to a study room with low-key and luxurious decoration.

"My Lord Baron, please come in."

The knight gestured.

Baron Bertel hesitated and walked in.

In the study room, a beautiful blond girl was sitting behind the desk, immersed in writing something.

"Are you Baron Bertel?"

The girl put down the quill in her hand and asked curiously.

Baron Bertel hesitated for a moment and nodded silently.

"You're here just in time. This is the future development plan for Baron Bettel sent by the cabinet. Please see if it is consistent with reality."

The girl pointed to a roll of parchment on the table and said.
