Viscount Leon-Castell soon met the leader of the reinforcements.
He was a very handsome young man. Although he was dressed as a mercenary, his every move was of aristocratic elegance, without any of the rudeness of a mercenary.
The other party came to Charlotte and bowed gracefully:
"My beautiful Lord Earl, we meet again."
The voice was gentle and had a slight accent from the Falling Star Kingdom.
Combined with the galleys anchored in the bay, the old viscount quickly realized that the leader in front of him was most likely a noble of the Falling Star Kingdom.
So... the Earl's reinforcements are from the noble army of the Falling Star Kingdom
Viscount Ryan Castel's heart moved slightly.
He couldn't help but glance at the young earl, his eyes moving between the young man and Charlotte.
With his sharp eyes, he quickly observed more details.
The young man was very polite, and his attitude showed some respect for the young earl.
However, although respectful, it is not flattering.
This attitude seems to be based on some deeper level of respect, rather than a difference in status.
Thinking of some secrets he knew about Castel's family, Viscount Ryan Castel quickly made some guesses:
Could it be that... the young man in front of me represents those fallen nobles who have old ties with the former Countess
The more the old viscount thought about it, the more he felt that this might be the case.
Yes, this is the only way to explain why the other party disguised himself as a mercenary.
After all, they are an old enemy that has fought with the Crescent Kingdom for decades. If they openly participate in Castel's war as the Fallen Star Noble Army, it will probably cause a strong backlash from the entire Crescent Nobles.
On the contrary, it would be much more convenient to join the war as a mercenary.
The more Viscount Ryan-Castell thought about it, the more he felt that he had discovered the truth.
Of course, he didn't know that the reason why Earl Ulster showed respect to Charlotte was actually because he regarded Charlotte as the spokesperson of the True Ancestor in the secular world.
"Thank you for your support, Captain. Without your support, Castel would be in danger this time."
Charlotte looked at Lord Ulster and smiled.
Yulster glanced calmly at the nobles following Charlotte and smiled:
"The Night Walker Mercenaries are Caster's most loyal allies. If Caster is in trouble, of course we must provide them with our full support."
said the Earl of Eustace.
After saying that, he pointed to the tent behind him:
"My Lord Earl, we captured a prisoner of special status in the enemy camp last night. I thought you might be interested."
"Oh? Prisoners?"
Charlotte was immediately interested.
Viscount Ryan Castel couldn't help but look in the direction that Yust pointed. When he saw the heavily guarded soldiers outside the tent, his eyelids suddenly jumped:
"Could it be... the third prince?"
Yust glanced at him and shook his head:
"The whereabouts of the third prince of Xinyue is unknown. He has probably escaped."
"However, the identities of these two captives may be more useful to Castel."
"Oh? Two of you?"
Charlotte's heart moved slightly, and curiosity showed on her face.
Even Viscount Ryan Castel cast a puzzled look at the tent behind him.
Following Earl of Eustace, everyone quickly entered the heavily guarded tent.
In the tent, two cloaked mercenaries were guarding a young noble knight covered in blood. He was pale, with his eyes closed, and seemed to be in a coma.
When Viscount Ryan Castel saw the young knight's appearance and the iconic purple lion emblem on his chest, he suddenly lost his voice and said:
"Count Lint?!"
"Sir Len Castel, do you know him?"
Charlotte asked curiously.
The old viscount nodded and replied respectfully:
"My Lord, I once attended a banquet hosted by the Duke of Violet a few years ago and met him once."
"He is the eldest son of the Duke of Violet and the first heir to the Violet Principality. He is also an extraordinary knight with the strength of Silver Moon Level 2."
At this point, the old viscount couldn't help but say:
"My Lord, this is indeed a very useful prisoner for Castel!"
"He is the most valued heir of the Duke of Violet. He alone is worth as much as those captured Violet soldiers. He is enough for us to get a huge ransom! Or even... territory!"
After hearing what the old viscount said, Charlotte's expression became clear, and her eyes lit up when she looked at Count Lint, as if she was looking at a bunch of human-shaped Quintana.
However, she quickly scanned the tent and continued to ask:
"Sir, there is only one person here. Where is the other prisoner?"
"My Lord, the other prisoner's mental state is not very good. He is placed alone in the innermost cell."
Yust said.
After saying this, he looked at the large group of nobles surrounding Charlotte and said:
"It's better... not to have so many people go in."
Charlotte nodded slightly and glanced around:
"The rest of you stay. Sir Len Castel and Sir Vincent follow me."
Viscount Leon-Castell and Vincent Roman-Fore responded respectfully and followed Charlotte into the innermost compartment of the tent under the guidance of Yust.
There was a simple bed in the compartment, but there was no one on it, only a messy quilt.
In the corner, a thinly dressed woman was curled up in a ball.
When she saw everyone coming in, she quickly hid behind the bed like a frightened animal.
"Lady Eleanor?"
After seeing the woman's face clearly, Charlotte was surprised.
Viscount Ryan Castel and Vincent could not help but exclaim:
"Eleanor? Hiss... Duchess of Boulder?!"
After realizing the woman's identity, the two nobles' eyes lit up almost at the same time.
It’s nothing, he is the lord of Bold.
The real lord!
The reason why the third prince Philip was able to declare war on Castres was not because of his status as a royal prince, but because of his status as the husband of the Duchess of Bordeaux.
All his power in Boulder came from his wife!
In other words, since even the Duchess of Bolder has been taken prisoner, this war... can be declared over.
The old Viscount and Vincent looked excited, but Charlotte noticed the faintly visible scars and bruises on their bodies.
She frowned slightly:
"Your Excellency, what are these injuries on her body?"
Lord Eustace shook his head.
"She already had the injuries when we found her. She must have been abused for a long time."
"Abuse?"
Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.
"That's right."
Lord Ulster nodded slightly.
