The New Civilization of Witches

Chapter 95: The Meeting

Shit shit! Truly the prince of nonsense, isn't he the one who was banished to this wilderness out of pity!

Cornelius thought hard, but when he remembered the two guards with their hands on the sword that was running behind him, he recalled,

he had to swallow a mouthful of hatred for a while back into his stomach. When he finally came out of the castle and saw the two guards leave, the Baron was relieved.

He took out a wet handkerchief and wiped his forehead. He forcefully spat out a mouth filled with spit.

While imagining his spit directly hit the Prince's face.

However this was still not enough to release his anger, so he had to step on the saliva repeatedly, until finally his heart was comforted.

Just because you were able to block the invasion of the Demon Beasts, you think that you are capable of facing the Longsong Stronghold?

Keep being so proud, after all you don't have much time left to be so proud!

Cornelius thought that if he did not receive such reliable information, he would never dare to return to Border Town so soon.

In general, the aristocracy would always return even later than the civilians. After all, mining and hunting were dirty work, so difficult that nobles would never do it.

Their part is just overseeing the production. And wait until the ore is enough for it to be transferred.

And in their spare time, they would go to their hunter's house, and ask if they had high-quality fur suitable for purchase.

But this year the situation is completely different, Cornelius has heard from Sir Reynolds' financial director that Duke Ryan is ready to expel the 4th Prince from Border Town–

this is not treason to the King of Graycastle, instead they enforce the orders of Timothy Wimbledon, the new King: the:

"Roland Wimbledon is no longer the Lord of the Border Town, and if he wants to be reassigned to a new territory, he must return to the king's office first."

Duke Ryan had spoken these revolutionary words in front of Sir Reynolds, who was able to rise from a position at City Hall to a position of finance director in just five years.

If they don't have a distant relationship as relatives, and if he doesn't send her two high-quality feathers every year, then,

Cornelius would never be able to figure out what was on the minds of the people in charge in the west.

“Get new territory after returning to Raja”

it was just an empty statement, even Cornelius knew, that the first Prince without being able to say anything had been sent to the guillotine.

So if the 4th Prince returns, will the new king show him mercy?

Without a doubt, the western border was under the rule of Duke Ryan, the only question was whether he would wait for King Timothy's order or whether he would act without it.

However, when Duke Ryan decided to act, there would be no difference between Roland Wimbledon and the homeless dog.

This was also the reason why Cornelius had rushed to Border Town,

the first reason is naturally to get the fur as early as possible, but the second reason is to sell his own house.

The first point he thought was a very smart idea, while in previous years civilians fled to Longsong Fortress for shelter,

their supplies were naturally empty, so at the beginning of the year. But this year they stayed the entire time in Border Town, there must be some items that he would receive, right?

So not only could he make a little money, but he could also offer family piety to Reynolds.

The second point was that Cornelius had asked Reynold to give him a place in City Hall, which he had,

although it was just a busy job, but it was still better than living in this poor place.

And since he didn't need his house anymore, he had to sell it as soon as possible. Who knows when Duke Ryan will start his attack,

maybe this rogue mercenary would attack and burn down his house, giving him a huge loss.

But he never imagined that the house was not set on fire by the mercenaries, but instead was instantly removed by the 4th Prince.

When the Baron thought once more about this fact, he gritted his teeth in anger, it is one of my best houses ah!

Although one hundred and fifty gold royals were exaggerated, but it had at least the value of thirty gold royals.

In order to get the money early, he even bowed, and reluctantly accepted the twenty gold royals,

but then His Majesty even treated him in a crazy way! Instead of giving him coins, he was even threatened with defection.

Didn't he know that every year until the beginning of the Demon Moon, all the nobles took refuge in Longsong Fortress?

Wait a minute.Cornelius suddenly slowed down, it seemed like something was amiss.

Although he had previously heard about the 4th Prince's bad character, the Prince had always acted without thinking, instead,

he even cruelly mistreated Baron Simon's wife right after she arrived at Border Town.

The prince had never been angry or acted shamelessly, but rather Cornelius himself who had shown a bad character and acted completely without rhyme or reason.

During the entire conversation, the other party constantly spoke in the same tone.

So why did she become so afraid, even obediently giving up her own home?

If he said that the house was his, would the Prince really kill him, or not?

Correct ... Cornelius could not help but tremble, the sweat on his forehead shrinking back.

Now, in retrospect, when he faced the prince, he had the illusion that he was instead talking to Duke Ryan.

The baron shook his head violently, trying to search through this ominous memory in his mind.

After all, the 4th Prince would only be proud for a few more days.

Soon Duke Ryan would bring Border Town back under his control, and then His Highness Roland Wimbledon would also be escorted back to Graycastle,

I'll laugh at him then. Maybe those twenty gold royals are gone, but in the end Duke Ryan will still take revenge for myself.

Stopping his thoughts here, he was finally able to relax again. Because he had received several pieces of high-quality fur,

and he didn't need to sell his house anymore, he could sail back to Longsong Stronghold now. Send a message to

"members of the aristocracy have misunderstandings

the same,”

it has to be a great act. When I returned to Longsong Stronghold, I had to imitate him as best I could, for everyone to know what the bluff was like.

When he finally left the castle area, walking down the road to the harbor, Cornelius passed by a woman wearing a veil.

Originally, there was nothing strange about it, after all the townspeople came and went the entire time, but the woman was fully dressed.

Perhaps she was a young woman or a high-class woman, on the way to see the Prince.

But when a gust of wind blew from the corner of his veil, Cornelius felt his heart jump, and he could not catch his breath.

Oh my God, that's how a woman should be, with rare green long hair,

even just showing a part of his face for a moment, was enough to stupefy me.

Even if the King in Graycastle summoned another noble princess, he would not see someone like her, he said,

so how could someone so beautiful be in Border Town?

He turned around, wanting to catch up with her, seeing what he was going to do, only to find that he was walking straight towards the castle.

Is this the kind of woman the Prince can access?

The baron hesitated a little longer, but in the end he gave up.

He really did not want anything to do with the 4th Prince, such a bad person had to be handed over to Duke Ryan to be cleaned up, she said,

I still have to return to Longsong Stronghold. Arriving at the dock, he inserted his own single-masted cutting tool.

The boatman pulled the sail, and the boat quickly left the pier, sailing towards Longsong Fortress.

On the way home, while sitting in the hot sun, Cornelius saw an incredible sight.

About five miles away from Border Town in the snowfields, a large group of people entered his field of vision –

they were all wearing the same brown leather armor, and long wooden spears on their backs.

Forming a long line, they slowly marched through the snow.

Even though he was separated from them by a small forest so he could not see everything clearly, he was still certain that there were at least a hundred people.

They were..the peasants that the 4th Prince used to face the demonic beasts?

In the early months of the year, when snow was still covering the road, it was very difficult to walk in the snow, Cornelius could not even imagine it.

But a group of people were still moving on the road, and even it seemed that the snow had a depth of at least one foot, this was no small matter ...

He wanted to laugh at that ridiculous sight, only to find out that he was incapable of it.

A feeling of hesitation subconsciously surfaced in his heart, the knights under Duke Ryan's command, could they also do this?
