Release that Witch - Chapter 37

[Chapter 37 Family History]

“Danger is relative, Mr. Pyne, and danger also means opportunity,” the fourth prince flipped through the relevant information collected by the minister’s assistant, “I heard that your title was inherited from your father? He used to be a knight , Later, he was awarded the title of baron and a fief because of his meritorious service in combat.”

“Exactly,” said Tigu, nodding.

“That battle was a battle of honor to stand up for the innocent, and the time was also in the month of demons. A small number of demonic beasts accidentally crossed the fortress defense line through the Chishui River and entered the hinterland of the western region. At that time, your father was Patrolling the area, when encountering the remaining evil beasts, he didn’t choose to evade first like most people and call reinforcements before encircling and suppressing them. Because behind him was an undefended town—even though that town had nothing to do with him, Roland stated while paying attention to the other party’s expression, “You should know better than me what happened afterwards. Your father gathered the town’s militia, brought his own attendants, and fought against the evil beast head-on and won the victory.”

“Yes,” he said excitedly, obviously full of longing for this family history, “one of them was huge, like a deer and a cow, or a monster kneaded together. Its legs were bigger than my father’s.” The torso is thick, and the ground trembles when I run. If it were me, I really don’t know how to defeat such a monster.”

“But he did. My father stood near a shallow ditch and lured the enraged monster over. As it accelerated and charged, he lay down in the ditch, raised his broadsword, and leaned against the hilt On a rock at the bottom of the ditch. The seemingly invincible idiot just hit the point of the sword. The whole stomach was cut open, and the intestines and black blood poured out almost drowned my father. The spoils of that battle are still hanging on the fireplace in my house, a huge evil beast horn.”

Roland took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: “A battle worthy of admiration. He followed the knight’s beliefs, mercy and valor. Later, it was Joey Cole, who was still in Longsong Fortress, who gave him the title and fief An earl, who was promoted to duke by my father Wimbledon III twenty-five years ago, and concurrently served as the guardian of the southern border. En became a thorn in the eye of the Duke of Fortress.”

“Your Highness, you know very well,” Tigu sighed helplessly, “The Duke of the Fortress and Mr. Joey have always been at odds, and Joey Cole is not the earl of the Duke of the Fortress. His blood can be traced back to the royal family. The branch, whether it is family or bloodline, is no worse than Lord Ryan.”

This is politics, Roland thought in his heart, the game of checks and balances played by Wimbledon III.

In order to understand this intricate relationship, he called the minister’s assistant to explain it to himself for a whole day.

The entrustment and jurisdiction among the nobles is extremely chaotic. In theory, the upper-level nobles have the right to issue orders to the lower-level nobles in the territory, but the actual operation is much more complicated. Joey Cole and the Duke of Lane are examples.

As the earl directly entrusted by the king, although his territory is in the western region, he has the prestige and momentum no less than that of the Duke of Ryan.

When Joey becomes the Duke of the South, new nails will naturally be placed in his territory. This is the usual method used by the Graycastle royal family to maintain the stability of the ruling family.

“So after you inherited this territory, the commerce and agricultural products have gradually withered, and the family business has deteriorated day by day,” Roland said slowly, “Now, there is a new opportunity in front of you.”

“A new…opportunity?”

“You must have heard of the famine two years ago. The fortress withheld food for the next month on the grounds that there was not enough traded ore. This year, we are facing the same predicament. The accidental collapse of the mine on the north slope left the people of Border Town with nowhere to go. We can retreat, we must stop the evil beast behind the newly built city wall. This battle may not be smooth sailing, but as I said before, danger also means opportunity.”

“…” Tigu already understood what the prince meant, he frowned and didn’t answer right away.

“Speaking of which, you don’t look like an aristocrat in the usual sense,” Roland smiled. “No one would go out dressed like this, and your hands are covered with hard calluses. Mr. Pine, you are not Let go of your father’s inheritance? The fighting skills that you are good at as a knight.”

Of course he didn’t let go, Roland thought, otherwise he wouldn’t have been running into the Hidden Forest all day.

According to the information provided by Barov, during his time in Border Town, he spent at least three days a week in the Hidden Forest.

And every time he went there, he was fully equipped. Since he couldn’t afford an attendant, he hired Orion directly from the town as a helper.

Some people like to fight by nature, and Tigu Pyne is obviously such a person.

“If you are willing to stay in Border Town, I can give you a chance to regain your father’s glory, like him, relying on sword and courage to win honor. If you have outstanding achievements, I will carve out a piece of land on the east side of Border Town The land is used to reward you, a piece of land suitable for the status of viscount.”

This situation is rare, but the promise works.

As an adult prince, legally he can confer viscounts, barons, and knights, but he rarely confers rewards on other people’s subordinates.

Firstly, digging the wall is not aristocratic, and secondly, if the other party refuses, it will be more embarrassing.

After Joey became the guardian of the southern border, he didn’t bring his father there, which proves that the former has Abandoned the Pine family.

Tigu finally let go, “Then…Your Highness, can I send Nana back to Longsong Fortress? No one has ever resisted an evil beast here. If it fails, I don’t want my daughter to die here .”

“I told you from the very beginning, Mr. Pine, danger is relative. Have you ever thought about what would happen if Nana was found to be a witch in Longsong Fortress? It’s not like Border Town, The church has taken root in the city for a long time, and their believers and informers are everywhere. Once exposed, even I cannot save her.”

Roland paused for a moment and added: “Border Town will not fall. When the Demon Moon comes, I will fight side by side with the people on the city walls. Our opponents are just a group of mutated beasts, not invulnerable devils. Your father We defeated them in an open space with no cover, not to mention that we still have an impenetrable city wall. If… I mean, if there is an accident, I will let Nana leave first,” he paused Dun, “And Anna. I will leave a small boat at the pier, and I promise, they will be safe and sound.”

“In this case… I believe in you, Your Highness,” Tigu Payne stood up, put one knee on the ground, puffed up his chest, and gave the prince a standard knight salute. “I am willing to fight for you.”

…

After Tigu and Nana left, Anna gave Roland a blank stare.

“Are you dreaming?” she said. “I’m not going anywhere.”
