The Release That Witch
Chapters 37's

"The danger is not as great as you think, Mr. Pine. If something is dangerous, it will also always offer some opportunities." In his head, the 4th Prince examined all the information that his assistant minister had gathered once again "I heard you inherited your title from your father? He became a Knight through services collected from battle, was awarded the rank of Baron and given his own territory . "

"That's right." confirms Mr. Pine.

"It was at the time of the Moon Devil. A small group of Iblistiba beasts suddenly broke through the fort defenses near the Redwater River and were rampant. When Nana's father was on patrol, he met a raging demon monster. Instead of evading them like most people do, he informs the fortress, asks for reinforcements, and begins besieging demonic beasts to save the nearby town - even though he has no connection with the town. "While speaking, Roland observed the expression on that face.Other person, "But Mr. Pine, you should know the things that happened at that time better than me. Your father called in a militia from the city. Then, with his retinue and the militia he fought the demonic beast and won. The great battle was fought to defend the innocent. "

"Yes." his tone was somewhat agitated, apparently full of longing for his own family history, "There was also an unusually large, some parts resembling deer and some parts of a bull. It was a combination of both. His feet were thicker than my father's body, and when he escaped, the ground trembled. If I were in his position, I would really not know how to defeat that monster. "

"But he succeeded. My father was standing near a shallow trench, luring the angry demonic beast away. He sped up and tried to make use of his speed the moment they collided. My father lay in a shallow ditch and pinned the sword between two stones so that only the tip of the sword could be seen. The seemingly invincible stupid beast could not stop, and its stomach hit the tip of the sword. His entire stomach was split apart; black blood and some intestines were flowing out from his stomach . So much so that my father almost drowned in the ditch. Even today, that battle loot, the huge horn of a demonic beast, hangs over my family's fireplace. "

Roland, who was sipping his tea casually said: "It was an awesome fight, he followed the knight's code of faith, compassion, and courage. Later he obtained the titles of knight and nobleman in the territory of Joe Kohl, who was still God from Longsong Fortress at that time. Twenty-five years ago Joe Kohl was promoted to Duke by His Majesty Wimbledon III, becoming a part-time guard at the southern border. With this, the entire southern border region was placed under its jurisdiction. Unfortunately, after being promoted, Joe Kohl ruined the sight of his former supporter, Duke Ryan. "

"Your Majesty, you probably know very well that," Mr. Pine's voice sounded somewhat frustrated, "even when the ranks of Duke Ryan and Joe Kohl were different, their levels of strength were already balanced. Kohl's blood can be traced back to a branch of the royal family, so his ancestor was no worse than Duke Ryan. "

It's a political scheme. Roland sighed, Wimbledon III actually tried to check and balance their level of strength.

To understand this complicated relationship, Roland had to call an assistant minister for an explanation.

The noble and feudal jurisdiction is very confusing. In theory, the higher nobles had the right to issue orders within the territory of the lower nobles. But the real situation is much more complicated. Duke Ryan and Joe Kohl are examples. Although he was stationed in the western border region under Duke Ryan, Joe Kohl, as the king's tally was announced directly, he possessed prestige and power that was not inferior to Duke Ryan.

When Joe Kohl became Duke of the south, his power in his old territory became stronger. This was the Graycastle royal family's method of maintaining stability of power.

"But when you inherited your father's territory, the trade, and agricultural production slowly faded away" Roland slowly said, "But now, there's a new opportunity in front of you."

"What is this new opportunity ...?"

"......" Mr. Pine must first understand the meaning of the prince's words, so he only frowned and did not immediately give an answer.

"To be honest, you don't really look like an ordinary noble." Roland gently smiled, "No noble will come out dressed like you, and your hands are full of crusts and calluses. Mr. Pine, you didn't let your father's legacy down, did you? You are a knight with excellent fighting skills. "

He obviously did not disappoint his father, Roland was very sure of this, or Mr. Pine would not train and run through the forest all day. According to information provided by Barov, in the past week, Mr. Pine had spent at least three days training in the forest. At every visit, he was always equipped with complete equipment, and if he could not afford it for his bodyguards, he immediately hired some helpers from the city of Orion. Some people had just been born to fight; mr. Pine was obviously such a person.

"If you stay in Border Town, I'll give you a chance to let you regain your father's glory. As he did, you will get the chance to earn great honor and achievements with just your sword and courage. I'll also give you a territory to the east of Border Town, and you will be the Viscount appointed by me. " While this is a rare situation, the commitment will be valid. As an adult Prince, he was able to legally canonize Viscounts, Barons, and Knights. However, he was rarely able to bestow such a title to others. One, it would weaken the regional aristocratic system, and two, if the other party rejected the offer, it would become even more awkward. Roland did not care about the opinion of the local nobles, he only wanted Nana to stay in Border Town. Refusing to Mr. Pine, Roland is not too worried. After Joe Kohl became a southern border guard, his relationship with Mr. Pine's father did not continue. He had completely left the Pine Family.

Hearing this, Mr. Pine finally began to speak again, "Then ... Your Majesty, if I stay, can I still send Nana back to the fortress? Until now, no one had ever tried to fight a demonic beast in this place. If we fail, I don't want my daughter buried here. "

"As I've said before, Mr. Pine, the danger of staying here is relatively low. Have you ever thought about what would happen if Nana was found as a Witch in Longsong Fortress? There would be very different from here in Border Town. The fort is wholly owned by the church. They have long been rooted in the city. Believers and their supervisors were everywhere in the city. By the time he was revealed, even I won't be able to save him. "

Roland stopped, then added, "The Border Town will definitely not fall! When the Moon Demon arrives and the demon beasts come, I will be on the wall to lead my people and fight alongside them. Our opponent is nothing more than a bunch of mutated beasts, they are not invulnerable. Your father had no protection and was able to win against them in an open environment. We have a new city wall. If ... otherwise .. I mean only, if an accident occurs, I will take action to guarantee that Nana will leave the city soon, "she stopped for a while," and of course, she said, Anna is also moving. I'll have the boat ready for them at the docks before, so I can promise you that they'll be safe. "

"So ... I'll believe you, Your Majesty," when saying this, Mr. Pine stood up and directly knelt down to pay the standard knight salute to the prince, "and I'm willing to fight for you . "

......

After Nana and her father left, Anna rolled her eyes towards Roland

"What are you talking about?" He firmly said, "I'm not going anywhere."
