Release that Witch - Chapter 458

[Chapter 451]

When Ren walked out of the Earl’s Mansion, he involuntarily narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath.

After half a month, he finally felt the taste of day and snow again.

Soldiers in uniform can be seen everywhere outside. They did not rush into the mansion to search wantonly, but guarded at every intersection in an orderly manner.

Bloodstains can be seen occasionally in the snow, but no corpses can be found, and no clothes or cloths are scattered on the ground—this means that they did not plunder the dead when they cleaned up the battlefield… Ren confirmed again In his own mind, this team was unlike any he had ever seen.

“Is Pelor

alright?” He looked at the iron ax beside him, “How is Longsong Fortress?”

, but as long as you ask yourself a question, you can always get an answer.

All being well meant that Jacques Meade’s plan hadn’t succeeded. He breathed a sigh of relief. If the fortress hadn’t been damaged and the Honeysuckle family hadn’t suffered any damage, Pei Luo should have said a few good words for himself.

As for Jacques’ fate, he didn’t bother to think about it at all. A fool who almost dragged the elk into the abyss has nothing to do with him.

“Brother… Jacques, what did he do?” Aurelion leaned over and asked in a low voice.

He hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head, “I don’t know either.” The

other party immediately showed an expression of “You are lying to me”.

Ren smiled wryly. He really didn’t know how to answer this question… If it was said that Jacques was trying to rebel, it was only in the planning stage when he heard it. As for what it turned out to be, he had no idea at all.

After a moment of silence, he said, “Are you really going to the castle with me?”

“Of course. I’m also very curious about what happened to make these people dare to break into the Earl’s Palace in broad daylight,” she still asked. He glared at Iron Axe, “Master Pei Luo will not just sit idly by.” Ren

knew that the third sister was actually worried about each other, so he finally nodded, “Alright, if you ask him, he should tell you the details .”

The group rode along the snow-covered avenue for about half an hour, and arrived at the fortress castle at noon.

Led by Iron Ax, the Ren brothers and sisters climbed up to the third floor, where the defenses were tighter, and there was a vigilant guard almost every few steps.

After walking into a study-like room, he finally saw Pei Luo Hermon, his childhood friend.

But the other party just stood aside respectfully, and there was a gray-haired man sitting in front of the desk. He was playing with the quill in his hand, looking at himself and Aurelion with great interest.

Almost instantly, Ren recalled the identity of this person.

He immediately knelt down on one knee, “Your Highness, Ren Wade greets you.”

“This is…” Aurelion was a little surprised, but he bent his knees and walked forward under Ren’s light tug. I gave a gift.

“We met in Longsong Stronghold,” the prince smiled, “it’s in the basement of the castle. I just heard from Iron Ax that you were locked up again this time?”

“Uh…” Ren was startled Startled, I didn’t know how to answer for a while.

Fortunately, His Highness didn’t really want to hear the answer, “Get up. Before I gave the order to attack the elk family’s territory, Pei Luo repeatedly assured me that you would never participate in the rebellion planned by Jacques Meade. It seems He guessed right. But…how did you get locked in?”

Ren looked at Pei Luo gratefully, and then told all the things that happened in the family.

“So that’s how it is,” the prince nodded. “It’s a pity. If you can stop Earl Elk, Longsong Fortress won’t have to suffer such a disaster.” The

other party’s words surprised Ren, and Aurelion couldn’t help but ask , “Brother… what’s wrong?”

“Jacques Meade colluded with Maple Leaf, Benlang, and Wild Rose to attack Longsong Fortress the day before yesterday.” His Royal Highness said coldly, “This attack caused many innocent casualties. Two blocks were burned to the ground, and even in order to force Honeysuckle to surrender, they did not hesitate to attack Pei Luo’s family.”

When Ren heard the last sentence, he almost suspected that he had heard it wrong. Even if he was fighting a hostile noble, threatening him with his relatives was an extremely shameful act. Jacques actually did such a thing?

“This rebellion involves a lot, but I guarantee that anyone who participates in the attack will not be able to escape the sanction of the law—the rebels will be severely punished!” The prince knocked on the table and said, “I am coming to the fort this time to We

must clean up the entire Western Territory and not let a single mouse go!”

Ren felt a thin layer of sweat coming out of his back, “Your Highness, I—”

“Don’t worry, I will not anger those innocent people either,” Roland said. He waved his hand and interrupted, “You don’t have to worry about the elk family being cut off from now on. In fact, I was just about to ask you a question. Jacques Meade has died in the rebellion. Are you willing to inherit the earl’s position and ask me like Hermon? Effectiveness?”

There was almost no second answer to this question, and Ren Meade knelt down without hesitation, swearing allegiance with the standard knight ceremony.

As he stated his oath, he found an unexpected peace of mind.

In fact, he had never hated the prince who took his father’s life. On the battlefield, accidents may happen to anyone, not to mention that it was the Duke of Lane and the other five families who started the war, not His Royal Highness.

After the war, he did not treat the defeated nobles harshly, and exchanged the prisoners for ransom according to the default method of the nobles.

If his father hadn’t died on the spot, he probably would have returned to the territory safely, just like Earl Honeysuckle.

Ren received the knight’s training and also implemented the knight’s philosophy in his heart. Any fair battle is worthy of praise. On the contrary, Jacques’ approach has no honor at all. It is meaningless except to deepen mutual hatred.

And for the sake of Aurelion and other innocent people in the family, UU read www.

After the oath was finished, the prince smiled and nodded, “You can take your younger sister to live in the castle for a few days, and Peiluo will arrange a room for you. There are still other families who slipped through the net and are active in the suburbs. Once the rebellion is completely subsided, it will not be too late for you to return to the territory.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

After Ren left the study, Pei Luo also walked out.

Looking at this friend who had lost a lot of weight, he had mixed feelings for a moment, “I’m sorry…”

“It’s not your fault,” Pei Luo patted his shoulder, “Don’t take it to heart.” For some reason

, He felt a distance between himself and the other party, and in Pei Luo’s eyes, there was a look that he had never seen before, like steel that had been beaten repeatedly in the furnace, reflecting the faint hardness and calmness .

He was becoming a real leader, Lane realized.
