At this moment, cold sweat appeared on everyone's forehead.

Whether it was during the old lord's period or the current Aimee's period, there were always people causing trouble.

The old lord has the support of the Grand Duke of the North and he has money.

And Aimee, she has Bennett.

People always subconsciously ignore the role of the Scourge Mage in the territory. After all, when Mervyn was there, the legendary Storm Scourge rarely took care of things.

They thought the same was true for Bennett.

The leader looked at Bennett, fear spreading in his heart, from his mind to his spine. He was shivering with cold, yet sweating with heat.

"Master, you..."

"Okay, Bennett, let them go."

It was Aimee who spoke.

Bennett released his mental power and retreated behind Aimee again.

People stood up from the ground one after another. They looked at each other, only daring to make eye contact and not even dare to whisper.

Finally, people's attention returned to Aimee, and Bennett proved that their resistance was meaningless.

Now their outcome all depends on Aimee's decision.

Aimee sighed and said:

"Freedmen's Certificates? How many of you want them?"

People looked at each other again, no one dared to speak, and no one dared to stand up.

Seeing that no one stepped out, Aimee turned around and glanced at Bennett, with a hint of anger in her eyes.

Bennett didn't say anything, but took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Aimee. Although Aimee couldn't engrave runes, she could drive runes, and the armed knight could do it.

As the knight's magic power was injected into the scroll, parchments began to appear on the ground continuously, and soon piled up to more than one meter high.

"Here is the Freeman's Certificate. If anyone wants to leave, they can leave their Razlan Certificates."

Aimee picked up a piece of parchment from in front of her and showed it to everyone with the seal with Razlan's unique iris family crest printed on it.

"If you take this, you are no longer from Razlan. Please leave this land. This is not your home."

After saying that, Aimee threw the parchment at the leader's face. The leader took out the parchment in shock and looked at the contents on it in astonishment.

"Confirmed by Aimee Stark, the Grand Duke of Iris, pardoned - a free man with the right to join other territories at will."

Below was a crest of irises, purple in colour, glowing with a strange light in the fading sun.

"It's true, hahaha, it's true."

The leader laughed loudly and took out his Razlan certificate from his waist.

He looked up at Aimee and was about to hand over the Razlan certificate in his hand, but he looked at Bennett again. The attitude of this archmage was the most important.

Ai Mei saw everything, her face was tense, and she said to everyone:

"If you want the qualification of a free citizen, you can use the Razlan certificate to exchange it with the Sera Knight. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Aimee glanced at Bennett and left first.

Bennett said nothing and followed Aimee away.

Everyone was obviously relieved. Some looked at Bennett's back thoughtfully, while others had calmed down and began to regret their actions.

And more people looked at this territory of yellow sand with disgust in their eyes.

Sera stepped forward to take over the dragon skin scroll, stood in front of the free people's credentials, and said:

"Think it over before you come back."

This was the only thing she could remind him of.

The leader was rude to Aimee, but was extremely respectful to Sera. He stepped forward and saluted, saying:

"Knight Sera, thank you for your help."

Sera nodded, took the Razlan certificate from the man, and handed him the freeman certificate.

The man took the certificate, found his family from the back, and processed the freedom of his family.

Someone came forward and took out his certificate, but after hesitating for a long time, he took it back. They finally chose to stay and build their hometown.

Some people instigated more people to receive freemen, either because they thought it was a good thing for the people or because they just wanted to find someone to blame.

Sera didn't care about any of this. Aimee had ordered her before not to talk too much at this time.

……

Here, Aimee brought Bennett all the way to the back of the carriage and handed the child to the maid. Aimee turned around suddenly and grabbed Bennett by the collar.

She lowered her head, clenched her teeth, and almost forced out a few words:

"How can you be so soft-hearted, Bennett."

Bennett was silent. He pondered for a long time, and finally said with a regretful tone:

"I just feel bad for you, Aimee."

"We have come this far, these humiliations are nothing compared to this."

As he said this, tears continued to drip from his chin.

Bennett felt bitter in his heart and gently hugged Aimee in his arms. Apart from this silent hug, he really couldn't think of anything that could comfort this 17-year-old girl.

The maids left tactfully, leaving the space for the two of them.

Aimee leaned against Bennett and cried for a while before she got up from Bennett's arms and said:

"Let's go see Father."

Bennett nodded and took Aimee to a flat ground.

Bennett's mental power swept around him, and a marble tombstone appeared with the words:

"The pioneer of Razlan, the Count of Iris, the son of the Great Wolf Duke, the dragon slayer, the knight of the last moment - Rod Stark."

Aimee looked at the title above and said:

"The title of knight of the last moment is indeed what my father would have wanted."

The Earl had the glory of a knight and the cunning of a lord throughout his life, but at the last moment, he redeemed himself with his life.

Bennett took out the dragon skin scroll, took out the white chrysanthemum from it, and handed it to Aimee.

Aimee placed the chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone. At this moment, nostalgia, regret, pain and all kinds of emotions surrounded her heart.

She didn't know what kind of feelings she had towards this father.

The father's love was so little, and Aimee went from longing and resentment to understanding and remembrance. She didn't know how to face her father.

She stood blankly in front of the tombstone, neither kneeling nor speaking, just crying silently.

When the sun had completely set and the crowd in the distance had dispersed for a long time, Sera came here, and Aimee finally said:

"Father, the child you have been waiting for has grown up now."

Aimee wiped her tears, looked at Sera, and said:

"Have they all left yet?"

Sera nodded and said:

"Yes, they all chose to temporarily settle down in the mountain path."

Aimee nodded, took a deep breath, and said:

"Just as I expected."

She looked at Bennett and said:

"It's time to start."

Bennett nodded and took out a rune book from his arms. The blue runes covered the entire territory.
