-172- Interview
Beigang.
When the mighty Castel cavalry returned, the original 1,500 team had become more than 2,000 people.
Citizens stood on both sides of the street and looked curiously at the troops entering the city gate, especially those surrendered soldiers who had already removed their weapons and had obviously had violet logos on their armor and shields.
"It's the Violet Fighters who are raging in the north!"
"Is it them? I heard that they beat those nobles and call them to cry... "
"That's right! I heard that even Baron Nasser's house was stolen by them. Well, it's the beast who forced the first night power in the territory!"
"Well done! I really let out a sigh of anger for us!"
"But, it was still defeated by the Earl."
"After all, the Count is even more powerful. She is a person who can lead Castel to defeat the two Principal coalition forces!"
"You said... what will the Earl deal with these defeated soldiers?"
"It should be that Violet will pay the ransom."
"What a pity... Lord Earl is also a wise lord who hates nobles' misconduct. It would be great if Lord Earl could keep them."
"Hey, it doesn't matter whether the Violet soldiers are left or not. The key is their commander. It is all the commander who heard that Violet's defeated soldiers can be organized."
"Commander? Is it aristocrat too?"
"Of course yes, it seems to be the last generation of the ancient family or something..."
"That feels strange to the Earl."
“…”
Citizens were talking and curiously looked at the army entering the city.
In the team, Baron Betel, who had already been confiscated, rode side by side with Agnes, and was surrounded by layers of Castel Knights.
Listening to the citizens' comments, Agnes turned around, looked at Baron Better and smiled:
"Brother Guillaume, how about it? Is the reputation of Earl Castell different from what you imagined?"
Baron Better was silent for a while and nodded slightly.
Agnes looks happier:
"So... don't worry, she is different from other nobles, and her style is more inclined to us Willett. I think... after becoming her vassal, you should live a better life than in Violet."
"After all, one of the important reasons you were willing to follow my father at the beginning was because our Willett family treated civilians well!"
After hearing Agnes's words, Baron Better was silent.
He was not unaware of the reputation of Earl Castel. During this period, he had interspersed with guerrillas in the north and heard a lot of stories about Earl Castel from local civilians.
It is impossible to say that the legendary girl is not curious or that she does not approve of her.
However, it was just that he could not reconcile with the other party because of his position and family grudges.
At this point, Baron Better suddenly remembered the Willets' shouts when the Willets were deprived of their title and demoted to civilians:
"Castel! We Willett, and you will be enemies until death!"
But now...
Looking at Agnes's smug smile on the side, looking at the other party's naturalness and ease when talking about Castel, he was finally sure... The true last direct blood descendant of the Willet family really put everything aside.
Baron Better's mood was a bit complicated when he saw Agnes' expression.
Revenge of Castel has become a part of his life for many years.
Now, someone suddenly told him that all the grudges of the past have been settled, and the enemies of the past have also reconciled with the sect leader he served.
To be honest, it is impossible without a spiritual shock.
Baron Better feels that it will take some time to adapt and accept it.
But the development of things is so dramatic. He faces not only reconciliation, but also on the basis of reconciliation, he becomes the other party's vassal and swears allegiance to the other party.
After learning about this news, he even... had planned to die alone.
But Agnes's arrival made him lose his foundation and reason as he originally planned.
Baron Better was confused.
He was not confused because of his own way.
He was a nobleman and a knight. He knew that he would become a vassal of Castel, and he knew that he had no reason to confront Castel.
But... he really didn't know how to face this young Count who was the enemy in the past and was about to become his lord, and he didn't know how the other party would treat him.
After all, he had been in the back of Castel for more than a month, and refused to surrender even when the war ended. Even if it did not hurt the civilians, it caused chaos in the central part of Castel and almost filled the hatred of the northern nobles.
You should know that the noble manor he robbed even included several belonging to the Earl's Mansion and owned by the Castel family, that is, the property of the young Countess...
He even killed several managers and young nobles from the manor.
Of course, he only found out after robbing and killing.
"Guillaume, we are here. The Count should be in the study now. The Knights of the Earl's Mansion will take you to see her."
Before he knew it, the team had arrived at the Earl's Mansion. Lahair smiled at Baron Better and said.
After hesitating for a moment, Baron Better turned over and dismounted, and with Agnes and the others entered the Earl's Mansion.
As soon as they entered the Earl's Mansion, the deacon and the Knights of the Guard who had already heard the news came over.
"You are Baron Better?"
Rand, who was already the captain of the Earl's Mansion's Knights' Team, looked at Baron Better in curiosity and asked.
Looking at the knight in front of him who had the strength of a star at a young age, Betel's eyes were slightly condensed.
He nodded:
"Yes, I'm Guillaume de Bertel-Willitt."
After saying that, Baron Better noticed that the other party's expression changed suddenly.
The young knight gave him a thumbs up and said enthusiastically:
"You are this! We have long seen those nobles who disobey and act recklessly! Castel needs real nobles and knights like you to clean up these depraved guys!"
Looking at the Knight's admiration, Betel was stunned.
"Okay, come with me, Lord Earl has been waiting for you for a long time."
Rand smiled.
Following the young knight, Baron Better entered the hall of the Earl's Mansion and went up to the second floor. After turning left and right, he came to a low-key and luxurious study.
"Sir Baron, please come in."
The knight signaled.
Baron Better hesitated for a moment and walked in.
Inside the study, a beautiful blond girl was writing something behind the desk.
"You are Baron Better?"
The girl put down the quill in her hand and asked curiously.
Baron Better hesitated for a moment and nodded silently.
"You are here just in time. This is the future development plan sent by the cabinet about Baron Better's leadership. See if it is in line with reality."
