Rose Empire

This is the normal thought of the lower class people who don't understand the great noble families, but in fact, a big family like Melefield is completely different from an ordinary family. Would the patriarch Jose Melefield regard the bullying of marginal figures like Basilik as a shame? No, he would only regard it as a joke.

Charlotte couldn't hear what Paul Martins was muttering. She only saw his hands trembling and his eyes gradually turning red.

"The people of the Melefield family are all robbers, robbers, despicable and shameless bastards... Don't even think about taking my money!"

Paul Martins suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Charlotte at a speed that was inconsistent with his fat body. His face was distorted, like a devil, and he stretched out his arms to strangle Charlotte's neck.

Charlotte remained unmoved, but a sturdy figure behind her immediately confronted Paul Martins head-on.

Bang!

Ryan Nasazzi swept his sword and knocked Paul Martins flying, just in time to knock over the table where Eric and the Costa brothers were sitting.

Charlotte didn't care about other people's abuse, in her ears it was no different from the wind. But Ryan Nasaz cared a lot, he had always been proud of his part of the Melefield bloodline, Paul Martins dared to insult the Melefield family name, it was simply courting death!

"Uncle Paul!" Costa wanted to stop Ryan from approaching step by step, but was stopped by his brother Eric.

"Gu..."

Paul Martins sat on the ground, his back against the collapsed round table, blood gushing out of his mouth, as if the powerful sword had injured his internal organs. But he still struggled to touch a table knife from the ground, slowly raised it, pointed it at Charlotte, and then bent his right arm and threw it out.

The throwing action was not fast and was awkward, but the dinner knife inexplicably flew faster and faster.

Charlotte raised her eyebrows in surprise. Although it was also throwing a table knife, the scene before her was very different from Renee's throwing method that relied solely on hand speed. It seemed to be some kind of extraordinary faction's ability.

It turns out that Paul Martins' training is not the most common "common swordsmanship" in the Oran Empire?

Seeing that Charlotte did not hide or avoid, Paul Martins felt a sense of hope in his heart.

However, the next moment, his hope was ruthlessly crushed.

A gray light appeared out of nowhere and easily blocked the flying knife, which was already lacking in power.

The iron wall dissipated.

The long sword swung down.

Ryan mercilessly cut off Paul Martins' raised right arm.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Then, the left arm.

"Ah ah ah..."

Paul Martins writhes on the ground in agony.

Then, the head.

The head rolled to the feet of Costa and Eric brothers, and the dead eyes looked at Costa. The young Coster's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Eric was also stunned for a moment. Although the man was killed by Ryan, Charlotte had enough time to stop Ryan. However, the Viscountess did not say a word. It was obvious that she deliberately condoned Ryan's murder.

How dare she do this!

Eric didn't understand. By using such cruel means, wasn't the Viscount worried about angering all the Lanwan Knights?

"Tsk, are there really people in this world who value money over their lives?"

At this moment, Eric actually heard a gloating sneer. The voice was not loud, but very clear, and it came from the direction of the northern knights.

Eric shuddered violently and suddenly woke up.

That’s right, the Viscountess wasn’t worried at all.

Why worry about something that doesn't exist?

Volume 22: Chapter 21 Chapter Blood Feast (Part )

Do Lanwan Knights really exist?

nonexistent.

There are only Northern Knights and Southern Knights here.

The moment Charlotte's charcoal drawing was out of the circle, Ed Adkins in the Northern Knights camp even heard a low cheer.

Ed Adkins knew the mentality of the northern knights very well - if the new viscount was not friendly enough to them, they would be dissatisfied, but if the new viscount was even more unfriendly to the southern knights, then they would feel comfortable.

Moreover, Charlotte only killed those "fake knights" among the northern knights. As a lord, she could do so both morally and legally. On the contrary, the northern knights knew about it but did not report it, and even helped the "fake knights" to cover up, which violated the virtues of knightly loyalty and honesty, and should be condemned instead.

Charlotte moved the knights from the south to the north. Although this would occupy part of the northern land, the northern knights were happy to see the southern knights move in and share poverty with them.

Everyone knows that the south is richer than the north because of the trade route. In the past, the southern knights always looked down on the northerners who only knew how to farm and became poorer and poorer. Now that the trade route is lost, won't these southern knights have to farm obediently?

Some young northern knights even began to imagine how to "greet" these southern knights when they met them in the future.

"Don't you look down on us farmers? Why are you here to farm?"

It makes me happy just thinking about it.

Ed Adkins was also secretly happy about what happened to the Southern Knights, but he thought more deeply than those young people. He was wondering whether he should cooperate with Charlotte and lend her a hand to defeat the Southern Knights in one fell swoop.

This decision is very important. Ed Adkins does not represent only himself. As a leader, his decision represents the determination of the Northern Knights as a whole.

Helping Charlotte completely defeat the Southern Knights would mean that the Northern Knights would completely submit to the new Viscount.

But is this Viscountess really worthy of their following?

The daughter of the Duke of Luyuan, the title alone looks intimidating and the brand is loud enough.

But Ed Adkins had seen the incompetence and greed of the former Viscount of Lanwan, Basilik, and now he had seen Charlotte's cunning and cruelty. He had no choice but to hesitate. Incompetence plus greed was only a small matter, but if cunning and cruelty were combined with greed, it would be a big (harmonious) trouble...

However, just as Ed Adkins was hesitating, a jaw-dropping scene occurred.

Brothers Eric Scamario and Costa Scamario walked out of the Southern Knights' camp, stepped on the blood of Paul Martins, came to the center of the hall, faced Charlotte, and knelt down in a pool of blood to salute.

"Thank you for your mercy, Lord Viscount! It is your wisdom and kindness that we can cultivate a piece of fertile land. It is also a blessing for us, my vassal. We two brothers are very willing to move to the Knight Territory."

Eric knelt on one knee, put his right hand on his chest, and said sincerely.

Ed Adkins cried out in his heart that something bad was going to happen. He had underestimated the Southern Knights' vigilance against the Northern Knights, and he had also underestimated the decisiveness of Eric, the young leader of the Southern Knights. This guy actually declared his submission to Charlotte before him!

I am old, I have too many concerns, I am timid, I am not as decisive as the young people...

Although he was also kneeling, Costa's posture was a bit awkward. He was kicked to his knees by his brother. Now he was kneeling on both knees with his head pressed to the floor by his brother's left hand, not allowing him to raise his head.

When his forehead touched the still warm blood on the floor, Costa seemed to feel the wailing of Uncle Paul's tragically dead soul.

Suddenly, Costa started sobbing. He couldn't tell why he was crying. Was it because of pain? Anger? Fear? He was still too young. He had just awakened to become a knight and had never been on the battlefield. This was the first time he had seen so many deaths, and most of the dead were people he was very familiar with.

Costa, who was out of control, was already crying, but Charlotte didn't look at him much. Instead, she looked at Eric and asked, "What is your name, knight?"

"My name is Eric Scamario, and this is my cousin, Costa Scamario." Eric said.

Scamario, Charlotte had naturally heard of this surname. It might be that the Scamario family had too much influence in Lanwan. Even Basilic remembered that they had mentioned it, and Pastor Fado just mentioned it again. The leader of the south was naturally the person Fado hated the most. In the pastor's mouth, Viper, Mosquito, and Eric were called the "Three Evils of Lanwan".

"I am very happy that you can understand my painstaking efforts."

Charlotte lifted her skirt to Eric, put away the smile on her face, but conveyed a lot more solemnity.

This time, Eric's kneeling was no longer perfunctory and cautious as it was at the beginning of the banquet.

This time, Charlotte's return gift was no longer hypocritical or tempting.

I surrender to you.

I gladly accept your surrender.

Although both sides may not be unreserved, Charlotte's first run-in with her first territory has finally begun.

There were only four knights in the first viscounty. Paul Martins died, and the Scamario brothers, who also belonged to the viscounty, agreed. Even if there was another knight who did not express his opinion, its migration was a natural thing.

But Charlotte did not intend to migrate only one knight's territory. She then drew a cross on the second knight's territory in the south, and drew a circle in a relatively flat place in the north that was suitable for farming.

"How about moving like this?" Charlotte asked.

This time there was no second Paul Martins.

"Your will."

An old knight named Christopher stood up on behalf of the knighthood and bowed to accept the order. He had no objection to moving the fiefdom, but only hoped that it could be closer to the water source.

Sure enough, although the southern knights may not understand why Eric suddenly changed his attitude, their prestige over the years still prompted them to follow Eric's footsteps.

With elders like Christopher coming forward to accept the migration, there was less resistance from the southern knights.

Instead, Charlotte encountered some minor troubles.

When moving to the third knight territory, Charlotte suddenly didn't know where to draw the circle. She didn't know the actual situation of the viscount territory well enough, and she had no idea where it was suitable for farming and where it was not. Moreover, the Viscount Territory of Lanwan was not a large territory, and the land available for farming was limited. It was not easy for Charlotte to cram the knight territories in the south into the north one by one.

"A knighthood can be established on the west side of Lily of the Valley, Your Excellency."

Suddenly, a mature bass voice spoke.

Charlotte looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man standing up from the Northern Knights camp. He introduced himself, "I'm Ed Adkins."

Charlotte nodded slightly: "Knight Adkins, is there anything you can teach me?"

“I wouldn’t say I’m giving you advice, but I do know that there’s a large piece of unowned land on the west side of Lily of the Valley Mountain. Although the terrain is a bit sloping, it doesn’t affect farming. There’s a stream in the mountain, which is suitable for irrigation.” Ed Adkins said, placing his right hand on his chest and bowing.

Charlotte found the Lily of the Valley Mountain mentioned by Ed Adkins on the map. It was a small hill at the end of the Campe Mountains. The terrain was indeed not rugged, but the problem was that the hillside seemed to be located outside the territory of Viscount Lanwan.

Charlotte asked the question in her mind.

Ed Adkins explained it carefully to Charlotte.

It turned out that the area of ​​Lily of the Valley Mountain did belong to Viscount Lanwan legally, but there was a period of time - roughly the years before and after the Orlan Empire was driven to the capital Platinum City by the Edisa Empire - the tribesmen in the mountains were quite active and had been entrenched around Lily of the Valley Mountain. These tribesmen were like flies, and when faced with heavy troops, they slipped back to the Campei Mountains to hide, and when the heavy troops retreated, they came out to occupy Lily of the Valley Mountain again. So the then Viscount Lanwan, Basilik's father, simply pulled the entire border back and gave up Lily of the Valley Mountain and part of the surrounding territory.

Later, the war between the Oran Empire and the Edisa Empire came to an end, and the Oran Empire gradually recovered its vitality and order. The tribesmen no longer dared to stay in the Oran Empire for a long time. Outside the Campe Mountains, the tribesmen who often appeared around the Lily of the Valley Mountains also disappeared, probably because they migrated away.

However, Viscount Lanwan had become Basilik, who no longer cared about the affairs of the state, so Lily of the Valley Mountain was never officially recovered.

However, what Ed Adkins did not say was that the area around Lily of the Valley Mountain was not truly unclaimed land. In fact, it had been developed and cultivated by some northern knights for nearly twenty years. Obviously, that was not important.

Ed Adkins' words seemed to remind the northern knights who had been standing by as bystanders, and they began to offer suggestions for Charlotte's relocation site selection. Some places seemed to have knight fiefs, but in fact the owners of the fiefs had long been extinct; some places seemed to have water sources, but in fact the water flow was not enough to irrigate the land; some places seemed to be rocky beaches, but in fact they could become fertile fields with a little preparation... They were very clear about this information that could not be reflected on the map.

Soon, some southern knights joined the discussion, as if they also wanted to be relocated to a better territory.

The real bystander, Pastor Fado, was watching the scene in astonishment. Just now, silence, killing, cursing, and wailing were the main rhythms here, but in the blink of an eye, the South, the North, and the Viscount came together to discuss a common topic harmoniously - at least on the surface.

The blood has not been cleaned up and the bodies have not been dragged away, but this does not prevent the living from making the choices that are best for them, whether they are wearing leather armor or silk dresses.

For some reason, Fado suddenly recalled the burlesque dance show with heavy masks that he had seen in Platinum City when he was a teenager. It was so absurd, yet so real.

PS: I drew a novel map and wanted to post it after the previous chapter, but the picture was too large and failed to upload, so I put it in the group first. I’m very sorry.

PS2: The names of South and North always remind me of the American Civil War, so I changed them to Southern Knights and Northern Knights, and you can see them after refreshing.

PS3: Thanks to Chenxi Xichen, Launching Arc Star, Tiramisu for the reward, thanks to the monthly ticket blade recommendation ticket, thank you everyone.

Volume 23: Chapter 1: Melferfield Family Tree

Image: "Mellerfield Family Tree", Location: "Images/1645166323-100298545-108381689.jpg"

The Melfield family, also known as the Greenfield Duke family of the Oran Empire, is also the family our protagonist Charlotte belongs to.

This family tree is only a rough draft and only includes some family members who have already appeared. In the future, the family tree will be gradually improved and updated.

In addition, the former Viscount of Lanwan, Basilic Melefield, is not included yet because of his distant blood relationship with the protagonist Charlotte.

Volume 24: Chapter : Harmony

Because of the content related to SeSe, some content that is not suitable for minors to watch has been temporarily harmonized, Chapters 22,23,24, 784678210, and . We are currently rushing to rectify it. The original chapters can be read normally in the book club, number:

..............................

Volume 25: Chapter 22 Chapter Ending (revised)

This discussion, or negotiation, lasted until the early morning when the sky was just beginning to turn pale. In the end, Charlotte moved the eight southern knight territories to the north.

If you draw a central line running east-west across the entire Viscountry of Lanwan, then there should be twelve Knight Territories in the southern part of the Viscountry. However, this time Charlotte only moved the eight southern Knight Territories south of the Viscount Castle to the north, and the location of the Viscount Castle of Lanwan on the map was not on the central line, but rather to the south.
