With the complete recovery of the North, Castel's rebellion ended with the destruction of House Liglis.
The official statement is that the Leglis family colluded with the Blood Demon Order in order to summon the evil god to descend in the ruins underground in the North, but in the end it backfired on him, leading to the destruction of the entire family.
Various legends have become more concrete as the Viscounty of Leglis was completely taken over by the Castel family.
In particular, the "Heart Season" that almost all residents in the North felt some time ago is also rumored to be related to the Blood Demon Order's failed divine descent, which increases the authenticity of this matter.
In the taverns on the streets and in the salons of nobles and businessmen, people talked about it, which was an extra topic for conversation after dinner and drinks.
What kind of Blood Demon Cult found an ancient lost artifact and prepared to descend from the gods, but was finally blocked by the Castel family? What kind of Blood Demon Cult found an ancient lost artifact, and was finally blocked by the Castel family? What kind of Blood Demon Cult, at the end of the divine descending ceremony, the traitorous Laglis family came back again? They woke up and rebelled, causing them to fall short of their achievements and so on...
There is falsehood in truth, and truth in falsehood.
In short... with Charlotte's special push, all the blame fell on the Blood Demon Order and the Leglis family.
Of course, in a sense, it cannot be said that everything is wrong. After all, the Laiglis family really colluded with the Blood Demon Order. After all, the Blood Demon Order really tried to hold a divine surrender. After all, the Laiglis family really did collude with the Blood Demon Order. It is true that not everyone in the Gliss family has truly fallen.
The only core difference is probably that the rhythm of Charlotte's fusion statue is also thrown onto the Blood Demon Order.
As for whether the future investigation team of the Holy Royal Court believes it or not... no matter whether they believe it or not, anyway, the people of the Northland believe it, the nobles also believe it, and Charlotte... well, she can't believe it anymore.
At the same time, because Castel's official statement was that the Blood Demon Order's conspiracy had been stopped, the concerns of the people in the territory about the "coming of the evil god" quickly passed away.
Instead, there is another thing that many people are curious about——
Regarding what to do with the territory that was taken back by the Leglis family.
The citizens were very curious about this, and the nobles were even more curious.
Not only are they curious, there have been many more Northland nobles who have come to Northport to see Charlotte recently, bringing their families with them to express their loyalty, show off their achievements, and complain about their difficulties...
In short, the meaning expressed openly and secretly is the same, that is, he hopes Charlotte can take care of her family and entrust them with some territory.
As a lord, Charlotte patiently received them one by one.
In addition to those excessive demands, Charlotte also met some relatively reasonable ones.
This was also a territorial claim she had promised in advance in order to gain the full support of the nobles.
The territory of Viscount Laglis is sparsely populated, so it is not a problem to carve out some unimportant territories for enfeoffment. Now is not the time to strengthen centralization, and Charlotte does need to exchange some benefits for the support of the nobles.
No... In fact, if you think about it from another angle, if Charlotte really plans to take the road of becoming a god, whether to strengthen centralization does not seem to be an important matter to her.
Adapting to the development of the times and taking it one step at a time, all she needs now is to finally gain the allegiance of her superiors and establish her own belief system.
Of course, when dividing the lands of the Lyglis family, Charlotte retained those most critical territories.
For example, the territory directly under the jurisdiction of the Laglis family is Laglis Port, such as several fortresses and castles on the border, such as the richest baronies in Laglis Viscounty...
All of these, Charlotte was brought under the direct jurisdiction of the Castel family.
In addition, it is the Laglis family's share of the Castells mine.
Because the Leglis family's territory is closest to the mine and they have contributed the most to the development of the mine, they have had the highest proportion of income among the three viscount families since ancient times, almost equal to the sum of the shares of other noble families.
The Lyglis family was able to adopt 1,500 fully armored hussars with a mere viscount, relying on the income from the mine!
The title was deprived, the territory was taken back, and the Lyglis family's shareholding rights in the Castel Mine were naturally taken back by Charlotte to the Earl's Palace, and there was no intention to divide it any more.
Coupled with the dividend rights recovered by Charlotte from other rebellious noble families, Castel has raised the dividend ratio of the silver mine to nearly one-half.
And if the remaining share of the Castel family's original share is added in, Charlotte's current share of dividends from the Castel Silver Mine has exceeded 70%.
In addition, the Castel family has become independent from Bold, and no longer needs to abide by past contracts, nor does it need to pay corresponding contract taxes to the Principality of Bold, even if the kingdom needs to be re-demarcated in the future. Due to the vassal taxes, the Castel family's income will probably have to be greatly increased.
Charlotte just asked the tax officer of the Earl's Mansion to do a preliminary calculation and came to a conclusion that even made her feel a little stunned.
After this war caused by external and internal troubles, the income of the Castel family may have increased at least four or five times, and the monthly income may exceed 2 million quintana, which is higher than when her father was in power ten years ago. More to come!
It can only be said that the Northland is really rich, and the nobles in the Northland are also really rich.
After a civil war ended, it was Charlotte, the lord, who made the war fortune...
After seeing the numbers, Charlotte suddenly became interested in centralization again.
No way, it's really sweet. This means taking back the territory of a viscounty and some minor nobles, plus gaining independence from the Boulder family.
Even excluding the income increase due to the recovery of the Castel Silver Mine, the income that the recovered noble territory alone can provide Charlotte can reach 500,000 quintana per month.
This is still a tax recorded on the surface.
In fact, the various resources produced in the territory, especially some fragmented extraordinary resources and strategic resources, have a price but no market.
Take the Lyglis family as an example. The Lyglis family owns a pasture dedicated to raising war horses.
Although the quality of these war horses can only be said to be adequate, far less powerful than the dragon scale horses of the Northern Grand Duchy, they are still much better than Castell's own ordinary horses.
At the same time, this is also the main source of cavalry horses for the Glis family.
This pasture was naturally taken over by Charlotte.
However, although Charlotte will have more revenue, so will its expenses.
The Castel Territory has become independent and is no longer protected by Bold. Charlotte will definitely build her own extraordinary army next.
In addition, she also plans to invest money to further plan the development of the territory.
Of course, this is a story for another day.
Charlotte first ordered the county cabinet to discuss these matters and discuss feasible plans first, intending to further finalize the specific plan after she returns from the meeting in the royal capital.
After the formal handover of control of the Gris territory, Sebas and Nice also returned.
Returning with them were the Blood Earl Yurst, who had disguised his identity, and the black dragon Eudosia, whose magic power had been sealed by Sebastian, and was still sleeping.
However, in addition to a few people, there was also a group of uninvited guests in different costumes traveling with them——
An envoy from the Grand Duchy of the North.
