Louis V spoke in a very calm voice.
But beneath the calm, there was an unmistakable resolve.
Charlotte knew what he was referring to—the Castel Domain. This monarch, keen on strengthening centralization of power, would never allow Castel to become the Church's territory in the future.
"Lord Castel, I am aware that you have sworn oaths before the Divine Lord. Now that you and your family are about to become my directly administered vassal, I must know your stance before that," Louis V no longer hesitated, but addressed the main issue.
Was her previous oath still valid?
Charlotte had, in fact, already had an answer and thoughts on this matter.
However, standing there, she remained curious as to the extent of Louis V's resolve.
"Your Majesty, if my oath from before remains valid, what would you do then?" Charlotte asked.
