The Release That Witch
Chapters 95's

Shit shit! How foolish the prince was, wasn't he the one who was only thrown into this wilderness out of pity! Cornelius thought hard, but when he recalled the two guards with their hands on the sword that was running behind him, he had to swallow a grudge while returning to 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 resolutely spewed out a mouth full of spit. While imagining the spit directly hit the Prince's face. However this was still not enough to release his anger, so he had to stomp repeatedly into the saliva, until finally his heart was comforted.

Just because you can block the invasion of the Demon Beasts, you think that you can face the Longsong Fortress? 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 later than the civilian population. 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 there is enough ore so that it can 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, though, Cornelius had heard from Sir Reynolds' financial director that Duke Ryan was prepared to drive the 4th Prince out of Border Town - this was not treason to the King of Graycastle, not the other way around they supported. order from Timothy Wimbledon, the new King: "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 could never know what was going on in the minds of the people in charge of the west.

"Getting new territory after returning to the King" was just an empty statement, even Cornelius knew, that the first Prince could not 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 orders 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 rushed to Border Town, the first reason naturally to go to the fur as quickly as possible, but the second reason was 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 cover, their inventory was naturally empty, at the beginning of the year. But this year they stayed all the time in Border Town, there must be some items he would receive, right? So not only could he make a little money, but he could also offer Reynolds some family piety.

The second point was that Cornelius had asked Reynold to give him a place inside the City Hall, even though it was just a busy job, but it was still better than living in this very miserable place. And since he didn't need his house anymore, he had to sell it as quickly as possible. Who knew when Duke Ryan would start his attack, perhaps this rogue mercenary would storm and burn his house, giving him a huge loss.

But he never imagined that the house was not burned down by mercenaries, but 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 at least had the value of thirty gold royals.

In order to earn money earlier, he had even bowed, and reluctantly accepted twenty gold royals, but His Majesty even treated him in a crazy manner! Instead of giving him coins, he was threatened with desertion. Didn't he know that every year until the beginning of the Demon Moon, all the nobles were evacuated towards Longsong Fortress?

Wait a minute ... Cornelius suddenly slowed down, it seemed like something was amiss. Although he had previously heard of the 4th Prince's bad character, the Prince had always acted without a second thought, he even maliciously mistreated Baron Simon's wife directly after he arrived at Border Town. After that it became a personal joke for a long time. But today, the impression he received from the Prince did not match what he knew. The prince was never angry or acted shamelessly, but instead Cornelius himself who had shown a bad character and acted completely without rhyme or reason. During the entire conversation, the other party continued to speak in the same tone.

Correct ... Cornelius could not help but shiver, the sweat on his forehead shrinking back. Now, in retrospect, when he faced the prince, he got the illusion that he was instead talking to Duke Ryan.

Baron shook his head violently, trying to search through this ominous memory in the back of his mind . After all, the 4th Prince would only be proud for a few more days. Duke Ryan will soon return Border Town under his rule, and then His Highness Roland Wimbledon will also be ushered back to Graycastle, I will laugh at him later. 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. Since he had received several pieces of high-quality fur, and he did not need to sell his house anymore, he could sail back to Longsong Fortress now. Delivering a message to "members of the aristocracy who share the same misconceptions," should be a good course of action. When I returned to Longsong Fortress, I had to imitate it as best I could, so that everyone knew what the cliff looked like.

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

Initially, there was nothing strange about it, after all the townspeople came and went the entire time, but the woman was dressed neatly. Perhaps she was a young woman or a high-class woman, on her way to meet the Prince. But when a gust of wind blew from the corner of his hood, Cornelius felt his heart thump, and he could not breathe.

Oh my God, that's how a woman should be, with such rare green long hair, even showing only a part of her face for a moment, is enough to stupefy me. Even if the King in Graycastle summoned the daughters of other nobles, he would not see someone like him, so how could someone so beautiful exist in Border Town?

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

Is this the type of woman Prince can access? The baron hesitated a little longer, but in the end he gave up. He just really doesn't want anything to do with the 4th Prince, such a bad guy should be handed over to Duke Ryan to clean it up, I still have to go back to Longsong Fortress.

Arriving at the dock, he entered his own single mast trimmer. The boatmen pulled the sail, and the boat quickly left the pier, sailing towards Longsong Fortress.

On the way home, while sitting in the sun, Cornelius saw a beautiful sight.

About five miles away from Border Town in the snowfield, 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 walked through the snow. Even though he was separated from them by a small forest so he could not see everything clearly, he was still convinced that there were at least a hundred people.

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

In the early months of the year, when snow was still covering the streets, it was very difficult to walk on the snow, Cornelius could not even imagine it. But the group of people were still moving on the street, and it even looked as if the snow was at least one foot deep, 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 no-nonsense hesitation surfaced in his heart, the knights under Duke Ryan's command, could they also do this?
