A Coruña city, count's estate.

What is going on is the signing ceremony for the surrender of the Galician Territory to the Stewart Territory.

For the Count of Galicia, this was the first time he met Christine. Although he had heard that she was known as the most beautiful woman in the Kingdom of France, meeting her was far better than being famous. Her beauty could not be described with his own poor vocabulary. Use words to describe it.

Mage Dursley Galicia didn't know that Alicia was a dragon. When he saw the tenth-level mage emblem worn by the opponent, he felt that the Earl of Galicia was right to decide to surrender. The strength of the Stewart leader was more than what it seemed.

The content of the agreement has been negotiated long ago, and today it is just a signing under the witness of the priest and the king's envoy.

The war between the two territories ended with the surrender of the Galician Territory and the victory of the Stewart Territory. The entire territory of Galicia was occupied. After the surrender, including the city of La Coruña and the Mage Tower, they were the spoils of the Stewart Territory, which meant that Christian owned the entire Earl of Galicia.

Because after the siege began, the Earl of Galicia moved all the valuable belongings of the family to the fortress attached to the Mage Tower, so he had the right to retain these items and also the right to redeem the lost territory and population.

The first is the ransom of the Count of Galicia himself and his family, the ninth-level mage Dursley, the fifth-level mage, and a knight, totaling forty thousand gold coins.

The second step is the redemption of the territory. The remaining money of the Earl of Galicia can be redeemed for more than a dozen villages and towns. But after negotiation, Christine gave the other party the half of the barony in the Habsburg Kingdom in exchange for 110,000 gold coins.

The reason why she wanted to do this was because it was the nobles' right to redeem the occupied villages and towns, and she could not refuse it. But after all, the Galician family has ruled here for hundreds of years, and their influence cannot be eliminated in a moment. If they are left to secretly cause trouble and trouble in the newly acquired territory, it will be troublesome.

As for why the Count of Galicia agreed to this condition, it was because there was also an intermediate mage tower on the Habsburg territory, and Christine agreed to sell it to him for 120,000 gold coins, including the attached castle.

If the original villages and towns were redeemed, the Galician family would be nothing more than an ordinary noble on the ground, and the land they owned would only be a baron. But if you agree to this proposal, even though the land is only half a barony, the family will be equivalent to owning a mage tower again.

With the ninth-level mage Dursley and the fifth-level mage here, if there is another mage tower, the family can continuously train mages. This is the basis for rising again. It doesn't matter how the Earl of Galicia chooses. asked.

Of course, because an additional 120,000 gold coins were paid, there was no money to redeem the population. Christine wanted to move the subjects from the Habsburg Kingdom. But this is not a problem for the Count of Galicia. If there are ready-made villages, towns and land, why are you afraid that there will be no people?

Besides, Christine was worried that the Earl of Galicia would secretly cause trouble if he stayed in the Kingdom of Iberia. The Earl of Galicia was also afraid that Christine would find ways to continue to deal with her secretly in the future, so it was better to move far away for safety.

After the agreement was signed, Christine received a total of 270,000 gold coins. In order to pay for this sky-high fee, the Earl of Galicia lost almost all of his family collection.

As a coastal noble, the Galician Territory owned a caravan of seventeen three-masted merchant ships. When the Port of La Coruña was blocked by the Tulip, six of them were blocked in the port, and finally together with the remaining warships Became the trophy of Stewart Territory.

Three were spotted in other ports and subsequently sunk. The remaining eight ships did not become spoils of war because they were transporting cargo outside, so they were all paid to Stewart to offset the compensation.

When leaving, Master Dursley Galicia took away the tower spirit from the wizard tower in La Coruna. Christine went over to get the tower spirit from the wizard tower in the territory of the Habsburg Kingdom. The two sides exchanged and it was done. .

At this point, the Count of Galicia was renamed the Count of Carona, and the city of A Coruña was renamed the City of Carona.

Even though Christine has a lot of income, she also has a lot of expenses.

The maintenance of all warships, including the two sail battle cruisers, requires 20,000 gold coins. The ship's crossbows, spell scrolls and other materials consumed in the war add up to another 20,000 gold coins. When there are more warships in the territory, the navy will naturally need to expand, and recruitment and training will cost five thousand gold coins.

Please ask Master Margarita Drum to take action once. Christine paid a "service fee" of 30,000 gold coins. Don't think it's too much, it's still a friendly price. You must know that this is a master of the legal system going to the battlefield to help you fight. Although the chance is small, if there is an accident, you will lose your life.

Another five thousand gold coins were paid to Count Petro Navarro, a descendant of the Dragon Bloodline. As an Iberian noble, the other party provided Christine with a lot of information about the Galician Territory, which played a big role in winning the war. , must give enough thanks.

Alicia also had a lot of credit. If she hadn't come up with the "ratchet bomb" to "fool" the Earl of Galicia into surrendering, this war would have lasted for who knows how long.

Kristine asked her to pick out a lot of the collections of the Earl of Galicia. Although they were far from comparable to those she had on Dragon Island and were only worth twenty to thirty thousand gold coins, they were still shiny things that could make Ai Licia has been happy for a while.

The agreement was made in quadruplicate, with the Count of Galicia retaining one copy, Christine retaining one copy, the Temple of the God of Order retaining one copy, and the Kingdom of Iberia retaining one copy.

"Congratulations, Count Kristen Stewart." The king's envoy, Hereditary Honorary Count Mikita d'Este, said with a smile.

"Thank you, Count Mikita." Christine responded politely.

"King Alfonso told me before my arrival that your canonization ceremony can be carried out after you have arranged many matters in the territory."

"Please express my gratitude to King Alfonso on my behalf and please pass on the gift to the King for me."

Christine originally had the title of earl in the Kingdom of France, and now he has a count in the Kingdom of Iberia. Therefore, he needs to hold another canonization ceremony to receive the title of earl in the Kingdom of Iberia. This is justifiable.

In other words, many nobles with territories in foreign countries actually have very long titles. For example, Christine was previously Earl Stuart of the Kingdom of France and Baron Sandra of the Kingdom of Habsburg.

If a noble has enough foreign territories, this title will continue to be lengthened, but in daily life, only the most noble title is used for convenience.

Christine's full title now is: Count Stewart of the Kingdom of France and Count Carona of the Kingdom of Iberia.
