Chapter 56 The Dawn of Peace
"Wait, this is the inner fort, you can't go in." The guarding city soldiers stopped the patrolling York detachment.

York looked up and said kindly, "His Royal Highness Roland ordered me to go in, saying that the Marquis Edward had something important to discuss."

The soldiers guarding the city turned their heads and looked at the mansion inside suspiciously. York took the opportunity to wink, and the subordinates in the squad rushed forward to deal with these disobedient guys.

"Hmph, the owner of this castle will change tomorrow, and I'm still a bit unreasonable." York stepped over the corpse and walked towards the inner castle.

Roland and Louis were still staying in Edward's mansion, trying to re-write an armistice agreement. According to the terms agreed in advance, Roland cut in half the fief and indemnity of the armistice agreement, and almost completely preserved his original strength. Come down, Louis can also get a share of it.

"You said this clause, can the Duke of Normandy agree to it?" After Roland finished writing the agreement, he brought it over for Louis to look at.

"If this agreement was written by Edward, it is indeed unsatisfactory. If it is us, it is already a very good clause." Louis looked at the content of the agreement, very satisfied, and nodded in praise.

"Bang", the door was kicked open, and York directly stepped in with a small group of confidants.

Roland was startled when he saw this posture, while Louis remained calm as always.

"The situation is all under control." York reported the general situation to the two.

"Very well, it seems that our strategy has succeeded, and now we are short of the last step." Louis was already smiling, and he no longer needed to hide his feelings.

"Don't be too happy, some nobles will still have opinions." Roland came to his senses instead, realizing that things were not that simple.

Louis shook his head, but he didn't care, "It's okay, the people we offend are the nobles of small powers, relying on the number of people and power, if we really dare to rebel, we can just settle down."

"You two have worked hard, and you don't have to bother the rest of the work. Leave the finishing work to me." York also expressed his loyalty.

The two of them didn't make too many excuses, even if they handed over the rest of the work to York, York also readily accepted and was willing to help.

"When the sun rises tomorrow, Compiègne will usher in a new dawn." Louis laughed.

Morning, Rouen Normandy Palace
There was a letter urgently sent from Compiègne early in the morning, with a leather bag full of fragrance, and together with it, it was presented at the duke's palace early.

"Scott, you're quite early too."

Although Scott had accepted the canonization yesterday and officially became a viscount, he still stayed in the city as usual that night. The original plan was to go to mobilize today to be ennobled.

"Yes, Your Excellency, did you rest well yesterday?" Scott replied politely.

The Duke grinned, and the taste of victory still remained in his mind for a long time. At this moment, he was gearing up to make persistent efforts and continue to attack his old nest.

"Let me see what these guys wrote." The Duke opened the envelope with disdain, and spread the parchment on the table.

"Respected Duke of Normandy, we were coerced by the Marquis Edward, and we did something rebellious. It is really helpless. Now the traitor Edward has been beheaded, and the head was sent to the house together with the armistice agreement."

"En." The Duke of Normandy stopped after reading this, and opened the leather bag again. Inside was Edward's head. His face was dark purple, and he should have been poisoned.

After a long sigh of relief, the Duke of Normandy tied the leather bag back again and continued to browse through it.

"We who are guilty still hope that the Duke of Normandy will be magnanimous and forgive our crimes. We are willing to hand over the jurisdiction of [-] acres of territory and [-] Sol as war compensation."

"I also hope that the Duke can put aside the past, and may peace come to every inch of the Principality again. Your most loyal subjects, Earl Roland."

"Is there any problem? Your Excellency the Duke." Scott watched the Duke constantly kneading his beard, wondering what he was thinking.

"Edward is dead. This leather bag contains his head. Now the lord of Compiègne has changed."

"And they are willing to pay [-] acres of territory and [-] soles in compensation."

The Duke of Normandy also encountered difficulties this time. The biggest enemy in front of him was already dead. The newly appointed lord immediately showed his loyalty and sincerity, and he didn't know whether the military operation of Compiègne should continue.

"Scott, what do you think of this matter." Normandy asked Scott for advice.

"I think it's time to accept the terms of the truce. Since the biggest enemy has fallen, the principality's strength should also slowly recover. After all, compared with the internal enemies, the external sinister environment is also urgent. To solve this matter at this moment, it must be excellent."

The Duke of Normandy also nodded, and began to write a reply.

"England, do you have any good suggestions?" The Duke of Normandy asked about the external oppression that Scott mentioned.

"Go to war? Compromise? Or win?" Normandy continued to ask, with several multiple-choice questions.

"And get married, use the royal marriage to strengthen the relationship between the two."

"Hmph, very good." Normandy nodded in approval, and continued to work hard.

Rouen Church
"Compiègne sent an armistice agreement." Catherine also received news from Rouen, and Bernard and the others also returned to Rouen after finishing their mission.

"I never imagined that this guy Edward would be here today."

After Li Peijun rested for a night, his physical strength has recovered a lot. Although the wound is still cracked, thanks to the support of the system, Li Peijun has an extraordinary recovery and self-healing ability, and now he can do some basic body movements. .

"Your wound hasn't healed yet, don't walk around, can you lie on the bed obediently?" Catherine looked at Li Peijun's lively appearance, and was a little worried that the wound would recur.

"Almost, it's all right. After two days of rest, I can fight the enemy again." Li Peijun didn't care, and wanted to pick up the sword to try the feel, but before he could touch the edge, Catherine snatched it.

"I don't care, you have to be more honest these days." Li Peijun looked at Catherine as if a little unhappy, so he reluctantly agreed.

"The Duke probably won't accept the reconciliation now. I think according to his character, it would be more in line with his impression in my heart to dismantle Compiègne in one go."

In fact, Li Peijun's guess was correct. If the person who sent the armistice agreement was Edward, the Duke might not necessarily agree to the request for peace talks.

"Edward is dead. The armistice agreement was issued by the new lord, Earl Roland. The Duke has agreed to the request for peace talks." Cohen explained.

"Huh? I didn't expect this guy to have today." Li Peijun rested his head on the bed again, and began to think about his future.

"I'm a viscount now, and I've been entrusted with a land. It seems to be by the sea. Where are you going next?"

Li Peijun asked about everyone's plans.

"Where else can I go? Of course I'm hanging out with you." Cohen spread his hands.

"I think the only way to revitalize the family is by following you." Tiedle made no secret of his purpose.

Bernard, who had been hanging out with him all this time, naturally went with him.

Catherine, on the other hand, was a little shy. She glanced to one side with her blushing face, and murmured her agreement.

"Okay, target, Harfleur."

　Tomb-sweeping day, please take a three-day order to change the holiday, hope the sea
