That day.

Rand, his son, and all the servants and guards knelt at the gate of Bertner Manor.

Everyone was silent, waiting for something.

When a carriage with a giant bear logo, escorted by more than a hundred soldiers, stopped at the gate of the manor,

Rand immediately crawled to the carriage, opened the door for it, and then crawled on the ground.

He used his body as a stepping stone for the people in the carriage.

Angelina was shocked when she saw it.

She knew about the feud between Ethan and Rand, and she also knew that Rand did this to save his life.

But she was very reluctant to insult others like this.

When she was about to let Rand get up, Papalia on the side immediately shook her head at her, indicating not to speak.

And while reaching out to help, he indicated Angelina to step on Rand's back and get off the carriage.

Angelina hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't bear to humiliate a knight like this.

"Knight Rand, please don't do this, get up!"

When Rand heard this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "My dear lady, please forgive me!"

Angelina sighed: "I am the wife of Knight Ethan. If you trust me, please get up!"

Rand was relieved after hearing this.

He knew very well that this kind of humble ceremony might not save his life, but the words of the woman in the car would most likely save his life.

Since the other party said so, he also slowly got up from the ground.

But he still bent over and lowered his head to make way for Angelina and led her to the front of everyone.

Those who followed Rand and knelt at the door, as Sophia said, they sincerely supported Knight Rand.

Seeing that Angelina did not humiliate Rand, they all showed joy on their faces.

They all knelt down and shouted: "Welcome, Madam!"

Angelina had never received such courtesy before, and her joy was beyond words. She waved to everyone and told them to get up.

When Papalia saw this scene, his eyes were full of gloom, and he turned his head and glared at Rand fiercely.

Rand also noticed this look, and suddenly wanted to cry but had no tears.

He carefully approached Papalia and whispered: "Please believe me, this is really not arranged by me. It is this lady who won the hearts of the people!"

Papalia also whispered back: "It seems that you are very popular! Do you need me to teach you what to do next?"

"No! No! My lord, don't worry, I will do it well."

After speaking, Rand immediately presented the things he had prepared to Angelina.

Mainly various financial ledgers, territory information, and warehouse keys.

Then he took out a piece of paper from his arms and read it aloud to everyone.

This is a confession, which roughly says that he, Rand Mitchell, stole Ethan's territory by despicable means.

He regretted his mistakes very much. Now he returned the territory to Knight Ethan and voluntarily accepted the punishment.

After saying that, he knelt in front of Angelina, raised a sword above his head, and asked Angelina to kill him.

This shocked everyone.

Angelina was also shocked.

She didn't know what to do, so she looked back at Paparia.

Paparia shook his head at her, indicating to let Rand go.

Angelina smiled immediately, threw the sword, and helped Rand up.

"You have admitted your mistakes and returned the territory in full, so there is no need for punishment.

However, you can't stay here any longer."

"Thank you for your tolerance, madam! As long as all the accounts and materials are verified, I will take my son out of here immediately!"

Angelina nodded, and then looked at Paparia again, because she didn't know what to do next.

Paparia ordered people to send Angelina to the manor to rest, and arranged for his men to start verifying various accounts and materials.

He walked to Rand's side: "Your son seems a little unconvinced. Look, his eyes are so fierce!"

Rand looked back at his son, and his forehead veins suddenly popped up. He rushed over and kicked him hard.

The kick was so strong that Alexander (Ethan's half brother) was kicked several meters away, so that Alexander vomited blood.

Seeing this, Rand lowered his head and ran back to Papalia: "My lord, the child is ignorant, please forgive him this time.

I promise that there will never be any trouble in the future.

Otherwise, I will kill my own relatives for the sake of justice without you doing anything!"

Papalia looked at Rand with admiration.

He is not Ethan, and he does not have such a great hatred for Rand.

As a bystander, he admires Knight Rand from the bottom of his heart.

This man is capable, courageous, decisive, and flexible. He is definitely a model of a mature man!

If it weren't for the different positions, he would even want to make friends with this man.

It's a pity that there is no if.

He patted Rand's shoulder: "Let's go! Let's check the accounts!"

Rand nodded, and then asked carefully: "That matter..."

Papalia patted Rand's shoulder again: "Miss Sofia's reputation, you can trust it! Right?"

...

At this time,

The Imperial Capital.

Hillbers Hotel.

In a luxurious suite.

Sophia patted Ethan who was sleeping in a daze: "Get up! I have something to discuss with you!"

Ethan opened his eyes reluctantly: "I don't want to listen, let me sleep a little longer!"

"It's about your territory, you really don't want to hear it!"

"Let's talk about this later. There's no rush now!" Ethan really didn't want to talk about this topic. He had been busy all night and now just wanted to sleep.

"According to the time, your territory should have been taken over by now." Sophia suddenly said this to herself.

Ethan saw Sophia was entangled in this topic and guessed that she might have something to say.

So he reluctantly got up from the bed, found a comfortable position to lean against the headboard, and asked: "What do you want to say?"

Seeing that Ethan finally wanted to listen, Sophia first lay on Ethan's chest obediently, and then slowly said: "I have a suggestion for you!"

"Say it!"

"My suggestion is to release Rand and his son!"

Ethan opened his eyes wide when he heard it, and then sat up from the bed suddenly.

"You want me to let them go? Impossible! They must die!"

"Why are you so excited?" Sophia also sat up, hugged Ethan's neck and said: "I'm doing this for your own good!"

"For my own good?"

Sophia replied with a serious face: "Of course, in order to preserve your territory, various materials, and your reputation, I sent people to negotiate with Rand.

I promised to spare their lives.

If you do it again, your reputation will be ruined!"
