The capital of the Duchy of Harris -- inside the Ducal Palace -- half a day later
"HAHAHA, good, very good!" Galan entered the main throne chamber stained with blood, swinging a human head in his hand by the hair, "Ahh~ I have always dread of making this place my ho!"
"Hold your horses!" Robin walked in behind him with his hands behind his back, "Don't let the excitent take you away, this place belongs to now."
"Hahaha, Galan definitely didn't an to hint at anything, right?" Raymond found himself a comfortable sofa in the throne room and sat on it, he was clearly tired
Galan objected, "Huh? of course I'm hinting at sothing! At least give a chapter or two in the palace to be my own... His Highness, Duke Harris would have wanted that for too!" Then he raised the human head and looked at its broken eyes, " what do you think Your Highness?"
Then he started laughing hysterically before throwing the Duke's head off the balcony
No one has entered the throne chamber after the three of them, not Julius Rufus, not Mila, not even Patriarch Brian... No one else was worthy to be in the company of those three.
The battle ended barely half an hour ago with the killing of the last saint of the families of the three dukes and the arrest of the last soldier and put him in chains,
after that, the capital was overrun and was subjected to be completely cleaned of anyone bearing the na of the Harris family, and this process is still going on already now...
But Robin gave strict orders not to attack innocents and not to loot anything... He said that the destruction that had befallen *his* city so far is enough.
"Should we clean all the debts now?" Robin suddenly asked after drinking a few glasses of wine with the two dukes
"Hmm, why the rush? We just finished a 4 months war, don't you know how to relax, brat?" Galan spoke in protest as he closed his eyes and raised his head up to face the ceiling... It was a really tough fight.
Duke Harris and the two previously defeated Dukes alone were at level 30, and their tens of saints who were all fighting with the intent of victory or death...
Although both numbers and readiness for the final battle were on the Black Sun Alliance side, quite a few Saints from the Three Black Sun Families fell during the battle.
"Galan is right, leave these matters for later, we aren't going anywhere kid..." Raymond spoke in a low voice, he sounded like he is about to fall asleep.
"No problem with ," Robin shrugs, "but I'm heading to Jura today or the day after, we should clear everything before that, so.. when will we talk?"
Galan finally lowered his head and opened his eyes wide, "What are you going to do in Jura at a ti like this? Don't you know you still have to clean up where you ate? Also, the rest of the Dukedoms and the Royal Family of the Lying Water may attack at any mont... This is definitely not the ti to let things here aside and go back to Jura City!!"
"I know, I know." Robin rubbed his forehead, "But there is sothing I have been delaying for years and I have to start preparing for it... I will leave here the entire army under the leadership of the Patriarch to clean up the remnants of the old regi and help you out if there is a major attack...
I will devote a few more months of Fire Explosion Talismans to the Burtons here just in case, and I am also sending you a few batches of Fire Explosion Talismans as a gift from to secure your new frontier… But I personally have to go back."
,m "The issue that calls you back to Jura is so important? What could..." Raymond muttered, but quickly sighed and fell silent...
He wanted to ask what could make the current Robin this anxious, whether its power or prestige, there is none above the Burton right now... Aside from the Royal family of course.
but when he can down this line of thoughts, he decided to leave it aside, and just admire the boy in silence...
Robin managed to capture a ducal capital and yet he was thinking about the next step... maybe this is what defines a true genius, Raymond finally sighed then continued, "As long as you have to leave, then there it's okay, let's talk now.."
"Alright, Alright, let's do it now... if I allowed myself to sleep today, I won't wake up for at least a week or two. Haha." Galan laughed loudly and then looked at Robin, "Speak then... what do you want?"
"My dear father-in-law," Robin faced Galan and smiled, "We had previously agreed that I would take 30% of Rufus's Marcuse land, that was roughly 15% of your total lands at the ti… but that was before the Rufus family swore allegiance to , and before I sacrificed about 30,000 n of my family in defense of Bradley Pearl City, and before I sent you an additional 70,000 Fire Burst Talismans to aid you in the war, I even sent you all your Knights and Saints you assigned to aid …"
"...all this and you call your dear father-in-law?!" listing *services* frightened Galan for a mont, "I know all this, and then what...?"
"I want all of the Rufus family's lands." Robin put it, "Keeping all their lands with them would be a good reward for their loyalty to and their participation in this war with all their might, don't you think?"
Galan didn't reply, but stared at the kid with his punch-able face in front of him, after about a minute he held himself from trying to give him a punch that would knock his white teeth down and just shook his head, "I'll give you two-thirds of their land, that's good enough."
"I will take their whole lands! ... but for the sake of Mila I'll give you a portion of the North Duchy of Harris equal to the extra one-third of Rufus's land, and I'll let you choose which piece you want too, what do you think?" Robin quickly replied
"...." Galan fell back into silence for about another two minutes and then finally spoke, "Tsk~ Alright... I'll pick my favorite spot and let Brian know about it later... Julius Rufus has just chosen to fight for you but you started taking care of him, huh? You're starting to tempt to do the sa hahaha"
"Hey, the doors are always open, my dear father-in-law!" Robin jokingly replied and I started another side conversation of complints with Galan, the atmosphere is much lighter than before
But one didn't think so... Raymond was still trying to comprehend the punishnts this brat had inflicted on his fiancé's family, and it was mainly for stopping an army of 120,000 soldiers.
Sweating began to pour down his forehead when he rembered the two 360,000-strong troops that Robin had stopped before they destroyed his duchy...
