Similar to Charimir's current decadent appearance, Charimir also suffered tons of blows in his heart.
Originally, Charimir thought that being imprisoned by Nilfgaard people was the worst thing that could happen.
Who knew he was so naive.
Better days are yet to come.
As the saying goes, life is full of ups and downs...
Success is only temporary, but failure is long-lasting.
Just like Earl Tulius couldn't figure out how the Imperial Army could be defeated by the Islanders, Charimir also didn't expect that one day he would fall into the hands of the Islanders.
It's over now.
He knows that Gerd has a close relationship with the people of the Islands.
If it fell into the hands of the people of the Islands, I don't know how it died.
Even though Charimir was moved to a much more comfortable cell not long after he was thrown in, Charimir still pessimistically believed that this was just because the people of the Islands had not thought of a way to concoct themselves and did not want to die so quickly.
In fact, it's not like Charimir has never thought of committing suicide.
Although the food brought in by the jailer did not come with knives and forks, and the bowls and plates were made of wood, Charimir could still bite off his own tongue and let himself drown in his own blood.
But he didn't do this.
Because it hurts too much and dies too slowly.
He didn't have the courage to do this.
But if he continues to survive, if the people of the Islands use vicious methods to deal with him, he may die even more miserably and painfully.
Just when Charimir was struggling, there were footsteps outside the cell.
Then there was the sound of the cell door being opened.
Charimir raised his head in confusion.
Because according to the biological clock, it is not yet time for the jailer to deliver meals.
As a result, he saw two tall and rough guards coming in and standing guard on his left and right.
Then two more figures walked in.
But judging from his attire, he was clearly not a soldier.
But a witcher and a... sorceress?
Charimir is not sure whether the woman in the cloak is a sorceress. Charimir has almost zero sensitivity to the magic of chaos and is the purest Muggle.
Just let him make a judgment based on experience. A lady or lady of noble birth would never go to such a place.
Just when Charimir was looking at Triss, Triss was also looking at Lynn.
She didn't understand why Lynn brought her to this dungeon.
But she knew Lynn would answer her questions.
"Let me introduce you, this is Your Excellency Charimir, the knight of Duchy of the Curved Coast."
"From the mouth of this knight, I got a very interesting news:"
"Triss, you should also know about the civil war that happened in Duchy of the Curved Coast not long ago, right?"
Although he didn't understand why Lynn changed the topic to the history of the small country next to Redania, Triss still followed Lynn's words and continued.
"A year ago, a civil war broke out in Duchy of the Curved Coast. The two parties in the civil war were the previous Duke and the current Duchess Helena. Duchess Helena claimed that her father, the old Duke she opposed, was a usurper of the principality, so she launched a rebellion."
"Ultimately, the civil war ended with Duchess Helena winning."
The information Triss learned was no different from what Lynn had heard before.
He smiled.
"Then did your informant tell you that the reason why Duchess Helena was able to win the civil war was because it received secret funding from Nilfgaard people?"
"In return, Duchy of the Curved Coast will provide assistance to Nilfgaard people when they need it."
"For example, this time Nilfgaard sent a squadron to the north in order to retaliate against Skellige Isles's robbery. Not only did they pretend to be Islanders and rob Novigrad merchant ships, they also tried to destroy the relationship between Northern Kingdoms and Skellige Isles."
"And the port they are stationed at is Ashton Port Town of Duchy of the Curved Coast."
Triss was shocked. "What? Such a thing can happen!"
Now the situation on the entire continent has become calm, and the north and the south have not yet come to the point of quarreling with each other. Nilfgaard businessmen can travel unimpeded in Northern Kingdoms. Similarly, there are also northerners going to the south to do business.
Most of the kings in the north do not think Nilfgaard is a threat. Although Nilfgaard has unified the south in decades, it is one thing to conquer a piece of land, and it is another thing to occupy a piece of land.
The successive rebellions that occurred in these lands that were designated as provinces by Nilfgaard further confirmed the views of the kings.
However, if there is a southern squadron stationed in a northern port, that is another matter.
After all, Northern Kingdoms did not sign a military right of passage with Nilfgaard.
As a royal advisor, she immediately realized the huge benefits Lynn mentioned.
Duchy of the Curved Coast actually has a secret agreement with Nilfgaard. This is big news.
It was enough for countries bordering the principality to take action.
Temeria has no interest in Duchy of the Curved Coast because the two countries are too far apart and there is Redania in between.
But Redania is different.
Historically, Duchy of the Curved Coast was once a vassal state of Redania. Although it is independent now, King Vizimir dreams of bringing the eagle flag of Redania to the territory of the principality again.
Now, it just gave the "just" king an excellent excuse to intervene in the principality.
And Temeria, who provided this excellent excuse, is bound to get a lot of benefits from Redania.
Foltest The king will not treat himself badly.
Thinking of this, Triss looked at Lynn with tears in his eyes.
He has handsome appearance, tall body, strong muscles, strong endurance, and he also brings good luck to himself from time to time...
If it weren't for the wrong time and place, Triss really wanted to drag the other person to the bed right now.
The next day, the radiant Triss returned to Temeria's ship with Charimir.
After a period of sailing, we arrived at Acorn Bay, entered Pontar River from the entrance of the Pontar River, and then entered Vizima city from its tributary Ismena River.
Triss didn't have time to rest, so he took Charimir without stopping and met King Foltest in the palace.
A few days later.
King Foltest held a secret meeting with King Vizimir. No one knew what they talked about.
But when King Vizimir returned to Tretogor, there was one more prisoner in the king's team.
After returning to Tretogor, King Vizimir immediately asked Dijkstra, the intelligence chief of Redania, to interrogate the prisoner overnight.
To Dijkstra's surprise, he hasn't resorted to any tricks yet.
Charimir confessed everything without even using the great memory recovery technique.
