There were two pieces of letter paper inside the envelope. When Narant took out the first piece and looked at it for a moment, he made a sound of surprise.

The content of this letter is correct, and it is the result of the processing of Sir Wallad.

His father Andrew said that because Valader had a noble status, although he could beat Valader violently, he could not really punish him for Nalant.

However, in the end, Earl Tulip, who handed over the relevant evidence to Earl Tulip, directly handed Valad to the Tulip City Noble Council for processing.

Although several Quint guards were witnesses in the trial of the Noble Council, Sir Valad did not admit guilt and denied his involvement in this matter.

He has always claimed that he did not know Quint, and he was deceived by his subordinates.

Although the caravan he sent was managed by personnel, he had always put it under the responsibility of himself, the manor steward.

However, the manor's butler committed suicide in Valad's manor due to fear of crime during the parliamentary trial.

As a result, although this matter does involve Sir Valad, there is no evidence to prove that the Quint guards were in direct contact with Valad.

Finally, the noble council asked his father Andrew for his opinion and whether he was willing to reach a settlement.

If you are willing to reach a settlement, discuss compensation with Valad.

If you don't want to, you need to collect more evidence. Even if it can be proved that Valad and Quint are really closely connected, he can be found guilty of assisting outsiders in murdering nobles.

When the time comes, he will be deprived of his title or, at worst, be sent to the gallows.

Because of the long journey, Andrew couldn't ask for Nalant's opinion, so he finally decided that it was most appropriate to get the benefits.

Because Sir Valad, who Andrew got the news from his friend, is indeed very likely not to know Quint, because Valad is a caravan and basically wanders around the territory near Tulip City in the past and will not leave the earl territory.

So in the end Andrew decided to discuss compensation matters with Valad in person and got a shop worth more than sixty gold coins from Valad.

"Master Andrew, Master Nalant, feels that this Sir Valad may really not know Quint, and the reason why he did this is probably because someone else was instigating him behind the scenes."

"It is said that Sir Valad was close to Viscount Alding in the city. That's why he was able to quickly establish a foothold in the Tulip City after his bankruptcy!"

Seeing Nalant read the first piece of paper, Crowe immediately opened his mouth to explain.

"Yeah!" Nalant nodded, which was similar to what he had guessed at the beginning. It was not surprising that Aldin must be involved.

Although he failed to knock Varade to death this time, it was a good compensation to receive sixty gold coins, which could be used as money to buy his life.

Then Narant continued to look down, and below, Andrew gave him his opinion on the invasion of Quint.

Andrew said that Earl Tulip has not yet received any complaints from Earl Black Iron, so he doesn't have to worry too much in this regard.

This time the Valad incident was actually considered as infringing on the interests of the Tulip family. The Tulip family wanted to send a messenger to find the Black Iron Earl to ask for an explanation.

As for Nalant, he was forced to helplessly lure the dark creatures over, and they finally eliminated the dark creatures and rescued Quint himself. By then, it would be impossible for the two parties to directly offset the guilt.

As for what Nalant received as a 'reward', he would probably have to return it depending on the situation, such as the territory and the trebuchet.

The elves have nothing to do with the Earl family, but the territory and the trebuchet are related to the face of the Earl family.

Andrew taught Nalant that if Count Tulip made a decision and asked him to return any loot, remember not to feel bad after all, even if he got an elf, he would have made a profit.

On the surface, there is nothing to worry about. What Andrew is really worried about is whether the Black Iron Earl will secretly send someone to attack him. Therefore, the letter instructs Nalant to send more subordinates to patrol the border.

If there is a real danger, you must take your men and escape from the castle as soon as possible, because a count family is powerful and very terrifying.

"Quint has a big dream if he wants me to spit it out after he eats it!" Nalant muttered as he smashed his mouth.

Naturally, Nalant was reluctant to spit out the benefits of eating it. He still had Quint's handle to harm him but he didn't release it.

After reading the first piece of paper, Narant looked towards the second piece of paper.

The second piece of information was somewhat beyond Nalant's expectation. It was about Stella's birthday celebration.

Andrew said that he had received news that the earl at this birthday celebration would focus on the performance of the second son in every competition.

If the person with the best performance is likely to win the count, it is an opportunity for the Lord to visit the territory during the harvest festival, and this visit will bring all the vassals with him.

Seeing this, Narant's heart skipped a beat.

The Harvest Festival, the most important festival in the Agate Principality, is equivalent to the Chinese Spring Festival in previous lives.

This festival is basically held after the harvest, that is, in the second half of the second quarter of the year. Almost two months later, it is a day celebrated by everyone from nobles to serfs.

In the past, the Earl would occasionally go to the vassal's territory at this time to spend time and show kindness.

But among the several second sons selected for the competition this year, it is obvious that Miss Stella has the idea of ​​​​allowing Miss Stella to have more contact with these second sons.

For Nalant, it doesn't matter whether he has contact with Miss Stella or not. The important thing is that the nobles from other territories will basically come here by then, which can greatly change their view of the Storm Territory.

"Looks like I have to be well prepared this time!" Narant originally thought that he didn't want to be the brightest boy in the whole show, as long as he didn't get outcompeted by the other boys.

But now, this missed opportunity to visit was more important to him than any other second son.

And whether the performance is excellent this time, although on the surface, there is no answer, but everyone knows that as long as it can satisfy Miss Stella, then the performance is excellent.

Andrew's letter also explained the problem. During this time, the family had begun to actively prepare to secretly acquire various treasures to help the second son win Miss Stella's favor at the banquet.

Although the Berwick family is not as wealthy as other families, Andrew will still sponsor Narant with ten gold coins.

He has asked Crowe to bring these ten gold coins. When the time comes, Nalant can go to Tulip City to buy gifts by himself.

Or you can ask Crowe to take it back and ask his father to help find out if there is anything that can please Miss Stella as a gift.

"Hiss!" Nalant took a deep breath. This was true. Andrew, who had such a father's love as a mountain, was still thinking about it even after he became a lord.

The ten gold coins he knew were used to buy gifts for himself, which was a considerable expense for Andrew.

When Crow saw that he had picked up the second letter, there was already a small black purse and a piece of kraft paper in his hand. It was estimated that the gold coins were a contract with the compensation store.

"Master Nalant, my lord asked me to bring you gold coins and a store contract!" Crowe also handed over the money bag and contract at this time.
