The day after leaving the Gray Iron Castle, the negotiation results were quickly released. Browning summoned all the Knight Commanders and the noble lords and read out the results.
"I'm sorry, we have to leave the Danube Province. This is an endless shame, but I hope you can remember this shame. The future is still long. One day we will get all the lost back, and the shame we have added will be returned ten times!"
It is a common practice to put ruthless words, otherwise you will be unable to get over the face.
Then, Browning talked about what everyone was most concerned about: "His Majesty the King will remember your military achievements, but this time there will be no real reward. The Knights within the Danube Province, your fiefs and fiefs, will re-enfession in other provinces."
Paused.
He continued: "As for your fief and the resources on your fiefdom, you can take them away. If you can't take them away, you can negotiate with the local city administrator to purchase them and convert them at half of the market price. However, the Grand Duchy of the Danube only gives you five days to deal with them, so as soon as possible."
After saying that, Browning was not interested in saying anything more. He waved his hand and asked the Knights to go back by themselves. After he returned to the camp, he found Aldington: "I will leave the Danube Province today. You can go back to your own castle to clean up, and go back to settle down and go directly to Versailles to find me."
"I understand, sir." Aldington was not very interested.
Although he didn't travel for a long time, he was reluctant to abandon all the family industry. This was the hard work of three or four generations starting from his great-grandfather.
As if you see Aldington's loss, Browning patted his shoulder: "Don't be depressed, the current trough is for tomorrow's rise. Your talent is outstanding. When you realize your talent, you can get everything that the Iris family has lost."
"I will definitely."
"very good."
Browning took his entourage knights and quickly left the camp. Aldington also followed the Iris Knights and left the Gray Iron Fortress. He marched all the way to the stars in the sky. The Knights finally arrived at Butterfly Fortress.
"Dissolve on the spot, go back and pack up your luggage, organize your own industries, and let me personally help you with your actions," said Baron Oreno.
"Thank you, sir!"
...
That night, the family gathered, leaving only the Otem family.
Mrs. Carly has been praying to the three gods these days, and she can see the naked eye. "Thank you, the three gods, you father and son, have returned safely. I have not been able to close my eyes all night these days. Why did the Danube Province, which has always been peaceful, suddenly change its flag?"
"It was also expected that the marriage between the Panshi family and the Red Roof Falcon family was a sign, but no one expected that things would be so sudden and the storm would be so huge."
"What is that Maxwell's identity? How did he become the Grand Duke?"
Not much know about Maxwell, the nobles of the Gorebroken Kingdom, after all, they were sinners who were deprived of their royal status and even their surnames. The news that he became a dragon knight could naturally be suppressed by the royal family, so many people looked confused.
Wait for Baron Aureno to tell the other party’s past.
Mrs. Carly immediately scolded: "He has a temper and should go to the royal family. Why do you come to the Danube Province to make trouble? The Iris family has never had any holidays with him!"
Aldington comforted: "Grandmother, Maxwell wanted to take revenge but had no absolute strength, so he took action against the Danube Province. This was only completed with the support of the Gaul Empire. In the true sense, it was still guided by interests. The Gaul Empire needed a principality to facilitate the operation of the slave trade."
Mrs. Helena sighed: "Durontan has practiced Aureno many times, and we should have been ready to transfer the family's resources."
"Who could have expected that the incident would be so sudden and it would be useless to be upset."
The family was not in high spirits, especially Mrs. Carly, who suddenly burst into tears while eating dinner: "Butterfly Castle, I have lived in it all my life."
"Mother, don't be so sad. We can build another butterfly fort in the new fief."
"Build another butterfly castle, it's not this castle. Your father and I have been stumbling for many years, and the memories left behind are all in this castle."
Mrs. Helena caressed the back of Mrs. Carly, and Baron Aureno lowered his head and said nothing.
Aldington suddenly laughed: "Grandmother, don't be sad. This butterfly castle is here first. Give me ten years to take it back! Red leaves are the territory of my Iris family. Now, and in the future, the Grand Duchy of the Danube cannot take it away!"
"My little iris, although this is a comfort to grandmother, grandmother believes in you." Old Lady Carly hugged Aldington, laughing while shedding tears.
Aldington is still not used to such intimate movements.
But he suddenly felt that he had a strong motivation. In the past, he always held a self-contained time traveler, held a golden finger, and dreamed of becoming a dragon knight or even a demigod, but to be precise, it was like a child vowing to become a scientist, which was not a real strong goal. But now, he had a strong goal.
Retake the Red Leaf Town, restore the Butterfly Castle, and revitalize the glory of the Iris Family.
"Let me work hard for it!"
...
Just as Aureno was about to travel to deal with the family industry, and with the Knights' industries, an unexpected visit came, Durotan Panshi.
"Aureno, you don't have to bother with these. I'm here this time to buy all the industries in Red Leaf Town and Butterfly Castle. It's not half price, but it won't be available for the market. I plan to buy it at a 30% discount. If the Iris family plans to return in the future, they can buy it from me at the original price."
"Sir Bonbo, you are..."
"It's a kind of compensation. I was once the leader of the Danube nobles, but I let everyone down. Now I can't communicate more with each other. I just use this method to repay the trust you have in me in the past." After Durotan said that, he did not stay at the Butterfly Fort luncheon, but only left his entourage.
Connecting with the fief of the transaction.
night.
In the study room.
The precious oil paintings and books were all packaged and ready to leave with the family. In the empty study, the butler Carson carefully wiped the desk. This precious desk was made of solid wood and was built with a magic matrix, which could relax people, but it was too heavy to take it away.
Only sell.
"Master, I really can't bear to leave here." He said in a sad tone when he saw Aureno and his son walking in.
"It's okay Carson, we'll be back one day." Oreno comforted, "Get a bottle of Batini from the cellar and let's have a drink together."
“As you wish.”
When the housekeeper Carson left, Baron Oreno sighed: "The Grand Duchy of the Danube is probably going to gain a foothold in the long run. What have you discovered from Durotan Bonber's actions today?"
"You mean..." After the Baron's reminder, Oldington quickly thought, "Durontan Bonber, is he buying favors, or calming the anger of us nobles?"
