Chapter 955 - 491: Abolition of the Treaty with the Frankish People
Upon learning that the Hearthstone Witch had not killed anyone, Ivita breathed a sigh of relief and said to the Hearthstone Witch, "Then return half of their property back to them, any problems with that?"
In the Hall of Discussion, confronted with the gazes of many nobles, the Hearthstone Witch pondered for a moment. "Very well. I can return half of their property to them."
The nobles breathed a sigh of relief; at least they were given a lifeline.
Ivita nodded. The actions of the Hearthstone Witch were reasonable after all—since these nobles were suspected of treason. Though it was verbally stated that there would be no pursuit, it was impossible for there not to be any consequences.
Taking all their property would have been too much, but this degree was just right.
Ivita did not forget to use Mind Magic to say to the Hearthstone Witch, "Give two-thirds of the plundered property to me."
The Hearthstone Witch’s face turned red, her heart twisting in agony, but indeed, the property did not entirely belong to her. Without Ivita’s authority, she could not cut into all the nobles within the Royal Capital.
The Hearthstone Witch replied with Mind Magic, "Your Majesty, can we not split it evenly?"
She made one last effort to negotiate.
