Rudolph knew nothing about danger at this time, and he looked at the direction of the castle and pondered. There must be a reason Schwarzburg turned them out. Recalling Mrs. Agnes and Ketrisy, he knew almost without much thought that these two people should be afraid of themselves.

"I have to enter the castle." Rudolph said to Baron Hedwig and Sir Buckhouse.

"Of course, this is your father's castle, and of course you have the right to enter." Sir Buckhouse said loudly, with his body language quite rich, and he likes to waving his arms randomly when he is excited.

"I sent my son Duden to negotiate, and he will be back soon, it shouldn't be a big problem." Baron Hedwig said to Rudolph.

"It's really damn it all." Sir Buckhouse curled his lips, and he couldn't help but look down on Katrisey and Mrs. Agnes. It was this stupid mother and son who ruined the vassals' army and the excellent knights in the border forest.

At this moment, a basket was placed from the castle, and in the basket was Duden, the eldest son of Baron Hedwig. He landed on the ground from the basket, rode his horse back to the camp.

"How is it?" Baron Hedwig frowned. He realized that the negotiation might not go smoothly, otherwise the castle should have opened the door at this time.

"Father, they are unwilling to open the door and let us in. Mrs. Agnes said that the vassals had completed their mission well and could disband and return to their territory." Duden stood in front of Rudolph and others, and said Mrs. Agnes's orders.

"She has no right to do this. She is not our lord. Only Count Schwartz can order us." Before Baron Hedwig could speak, Sir Buckhouse said indignantly.

"I agree with you this time. Mrs. Agnes has no right to do so." Baron Hedwig said seriously. This is related to the feudal system. The vassal can summon vassals who are loyal to him or disband the vassals' army at any time. However, this is based on the contract between the vassals and the vassals. Even the vassals cannot order their vassals.

"But Mrs. Agnes said that during the coma of Earl Schwartz, she, as the legal wife of Earl Schwartz, would give orders as a regent. If we do not want to bear the reputation of betrayal oath, we must do as she said." Duden shrugged and said to everyone.

"Regent, who agreed, this is a total conspiracy." Sir Buckhouse said in a rough voice.

"But if we don't obey her orders, we may really be stigmatized." Baron Hedwig was worried. The nobles actually valued their reputation, because no one would be willing to interact with a noble who cared about the reputation of the oath.

"The vassals must not be able to swallow this. They obviously won the battle, but they were asked to disband back to their territory like a betrayal dog. There was neither reward nor banquet." Sir Buckhouse could almost foresee the vassals' anger, losing most of their army, but there was no compensation or even reward. If there were people with a irritable temperament, they might turn into a turbulent civil war.

"What, why not let us enter the castle?"

"Where is Count Schwartz, I want to see him."

"Forget it, Baron Jerami, Count Schwartz must be dead. Mrs. Agnes intends to make her son the heir?"

"Shut up, Sir Alva, you evil dog, actually cursed the Earl. This is an act of infidelity."

"What, you flattering villain, have a foul smell all over your body. I simply don't want to be with you."

"Sir Alva, who are the flattering villains, don't think I have forgotten the fact that you stole the twelve cows from my territory in winter, those robbers were disguised by your soldiers, right?"

"The Earl has long ruled on this matter, it was just a group of wandering thieves."

"The cunning guy, now he has brought the Earl out."

At this moment, the two vassals and nobles quarreled fiercely. Without the existence of the vassal Count Schwartz, the vassals quickly took office and attacked each other. If they were not stopped, they would rise from a verbal dispute to a civil war.

"It's so bad, please stop it quickly." Sir Buckhouse looked at the argumentative vassals with concern, and he said to Baron Hedwig.

"But we have no way to stop them. Among these nobles are the old rulers of Schwartz County, and the new nobles who moved here with the Habsburg family. Their conflicts have always existed." Baron Hedwig shook his head in embarrassment. Although he was also a vassal of Count Schwartz, he was in the last seat, which was incomparable to these wealthy and noble nobles.

"I said, as the eldest son of Count Schwartz, I asked to visit my critically ill father. Is this a request not excessive?" Suddenly, Rudolph said to Baron Hedwig and Sir Buckhouse.

"What, oh, of course it's okay." Baron Hedwig and Sir Buckhouse remembered that Rudolph, who was beside them, was the legal heir to Earl Schwartz.

"So, let me ask before the castle." Rudolph said to Baron Hedwig and Sir Buckhouse.

Benson lurked in the bushes, and he didn't dare to move. Even if the thorns pierced him, he completely endured it, just to get closer to Rudolph.

"Villains, don't forget that the one who saved us is the eldest son of Count Schwartz, Lord Rudolph, we should be the one who decides." Baron Hedwig summoned all the vassals together and pointed at Rudolph and said to them.

"This is true, but he has not become an earl after all."

"Only the real Earl of Schwartz can command us."

"I do not want the vassals to obey my orders, but I want all the vassals to accompany me to visit Count Schwartz, and at least I should offer my prayers and blessings." Rudolf said to the vassals.

"Yes, there is a reason to separate the father and the son."

"Isn't it natural to have the eldest son be with Lord Earl?"

"Indeed, if Count Schwartz is unfortunately obscured by the summons, then the heirs should be in accordance with the law."

The vassals suddenly discovered that things had changed. Compared to quelling the peasant rebellion, the support for the new earl seemed to have made more contributions. They immediately calculated quickly in their hearts, so everyone immediately calmed down the rift between them and said loudly.
