"Mother? Where are you going?"

Watching her mother walking towards the Dornish people, Natalie panicked a little.

The little girl didn't know what happened yet, but she had a bad feeling.

It was as if his mother had suddenly become very strange and was about to leave him forever.

Samwell held her back and comforted her: "Don't worry, your mother just returned to where she came from."

"Where did you come from? What do you mean?"

"Your mother comes from Starfall City. She is a young lady from the Dane family." Samwell rubbed Natalie's soft hair, "And you too."

Natalie's purple eyes widened, completely stunned by the news.

Countless thoughts were spinning in her mind, leaving her completely at a loss what to say. She just stayed there for a long time without moving.

On the other side, Ashara has walked up to the Dornish people and asked an older knight: "Sir Murtagh, do you still remember me?"

"Miss Ashara...it's really you!" The old knight couldn't believe his eyes, "But, haven't you already..."

"Back then, I did jump into the Summer Sea and tried to commit suicide because of some things. However, the gods obviously had plans for me and did not let me be buried in the sea."

"Praise the Seven Gods!" The old knight excitedly drew a seven-pointed star on his chest.

He immediately realized that Ashara's return also meant that the title of Starfall City would no longer be an unresolved problem, let alone attract the covetousness of careerists.

Because Ashara Dayne is now the undisputed first heir to the title of Earl of Starfall City!

Ashara smiled slightly, then turned to look at the other knights of the Dane family, calling their names one by one and saying hello to them.

Ashara can even name some of the veterans of House Dayne.

This left no one in doubt about her identity.

And at such a delicate time, Ashara's appearance is like a ray of light, giving these Dornish people in the darkness great hope.

So, the Dornish people, led by several knights, knelt down in front of Ashara, raised their swords above their heads with both hands, and said loudly:

"Dear Miss Ashara Dayne, we swear allegiance to you from now on..."

But facing this scene, Ashara shook her head slightly, interrupting the Dornish people's allegiance.

Everyone was immediately anxious: "Miss Ashara, why don't you accept our allegiance? Do you know that the bloodline of the Dain family in Starfall City is withering and they need you to return to inherit the title!"

"No. When I jumped down from the White Stone Sword Tower, Ashara Dayne was already dead. Now, I am Nora who serves the old gods and is the leader of the Wandering Crow Tribe. Therefore, I cannot

Go back and inherit Starfall City."

After saying that, before the Dornishmen could speak to persuade, Ashara said again: "However, my daughter can go back with you."

"You still have a daughter?" The Dornish man felt that things had turned around and his hope was rising again.

"Yes." Ashara turned back and waved to her daughter.

Natalie trotted over quickly.

Samwell looked at this scene thoughtfully.

"Mother!" Natalie hugged her mother's hand and stood behind her timidly.

Ashara pushed her daughter in front of her and said to the Dornish people:

"She is my daughter, Natalie Dayne."

"I wonder who Miss Natalie's father is..."

"Of course it's my husband, the previous leader of the Wandering Crow Tribe, Lun."

The Dornish knights frowned.

Although Ashara emphasized "husband", she wanted to tell everyone clearly that Natalie was a legitimate child and was Dane, not the lowly "Shad".

But it is undeniable that the blood of savages does flow in her body.

In a sense, she may not be as noble as some illegitimate children.

Facing the silence of everyone, Natalie seemed a little panicked, and her petite body began to tremble.

At this time, Samwell took a step forward and said to the young attendant:

"Hughes, your original master has died in battle. Now, the gods have given you a chance to make a new choice. You must take advantage of it."

Hughes suddenly woke up and quickly knelt down in front of Natalie and said loudly:

"Dear Miss Natalie Dane, I, Hughes Dane, hereby swear allegiance to you. From now on, my sword will be wielded only for you!"

Natalie was a little at a loss, until Samwell pushed her, she woke up as if from a dream and said:

"I accept your allegiance."

Hughes stood up, then turned to his companions behind him and said loudly:

"What's going on with you? Why don't you want to be loyal to the heir of Starfall City? Have you forgotten the oath you made?"

The Dornish people looked at each other, but looking at Samwell and the Riverbend soldiers who were watching eagerly, they finally knelt down one by one and swore allegiance to Natalie.

In fact, Samwell was also a little surprised that Ashara actually rejected Starfall City and pushed his daughter out.

However, this is actually a good thing for him.

After all, Ashara is mature and experienced. Although she will not be an enemy of Eagle Beak Island after inheriting Starfall City, Samwell will certainly not be able to take advantage of her too much. Everything must be discussed with her.

But Natalie is different. For such a naive little girl, Samwell has a conscience if he doesn't empty out Starfall City...

Moreover, Natalie had a flawed background after all, so she had to rely on external forces like Samwell to suppress the forces in Starfall City that were dissatisfied with her.

In short, the current arrangement makes it easier for Samwell to secretly control Starfall City.

He didn't know if Ashara had thought of this, or if she had thought of it but still chose to trust Samwell.

"Very good!" Samwell applauded with a smile, "Miss Natalie, now you are the owner of Starfall City, so we must have a serious discussion about war compensation."

Natalie was stunned for a moment, and then looked at her mother for help, but her mother just smiled at her and said:

"You'll have to make your own decisions about this kind of thing from now on."

Natalie had no choice but to turn her head and look at Hughes and others behind her.

But when Samwell coughed slightly, the Dornishmen immediately lowered their heads, as if they were suddenly very interested in the rocks on the ground.

Natalie pouted her lips and said:

"Okay, Sir Caesar...Sir Caesar, what kind of compensation do you want?"

Samwell grinned, showing eight white teeth, and said:

"Don't worry, Natalie. I won't take advantage of you. I will only ask for reasonable compensation. Look, you should compensate my soldiers who were injured or even died in the war, right?"

"Hmm. How much compensation?"

"One person with slight injuries has ten copper coins, one person with severe injuries has five silver deer, and one person with death has three gold dragons." Samwell quickly reported a series of numbers, and then without waiting for Natalie to think about it, he immediately added, "There is also a reason.

Do you have to compensate for the houses destroyed by the war?"

"Um……"

"And those brandies, you know how expensive they are. Now that they are all destroyed in this war, my heart is bleeding. However, I won't increase the price for you. Twenty silver deer per gallon is very reasonable.

Bar?"

"..."

"And my castle! As you can see, the entire outer wall is on fire. I don't know how much it will cost to repair it now, especially if it seriously delays the construction period. I think Starfall City will not only have to pay for it, but also have to dispatch

It’s not too much to ask for craftsmen to help me build it, right?”

"..."

"There are also the elderly and children in the welfare home. They have gone to great lengths to move for this war. They cannot eat well, sleep well, and are frightened. Is it reasonable for me to help them ask for some mental damage compensation?"

"..."

Natalie was made dizzy by these unintelligible terms. She couldn't help but rub her head and said helplessly:

"Okay, okay, Sir Caesar, just give me a final figure when the time comes. However, I don't know if I can afford the compensation... and, is Starfall City really mine?"

"Of course it's yours! You are now the first heir to the title of the Dane family!" Samwell said with a smile, "As for whether you can afford the compensation, you don't have to worry about that. I am a benevolent lord and am willing to accept installment payments.

."

"What is installment payment?"

"It's just that you owe me money and you can't pay it back at the moment. You can pay it back slowly in the future."

"Well, thank you very much, Sir Caesar."

"You're welcome, this is what a gentleman should do."

…

Ashara watched all this from the sidelines, and suddenly began to suspect that pushing her daughter to the position of lord of Starfall City did not seem to be a wise decision...
