Thor's contract is simple: after signing the contract, they must obey Thor's orders and send their legitimate son to Eagle Ridge to join his Knight Order, paying an annual fee of one thousand Gold Coins for training. Well, more accurately, it's called taxes.
Just described in a more tactful language.
Compared to the previous ransom, this is naturally much less.
But once this contract is signed, they will become a subordinate existence of Eagle Ridge.
This is simply an existence they cannot accept.
This is the main reason why they initially found it hard to accept.
However, whether it's Pape Lawrence, Baron Valmy, or Baron Gladon, they actually don't have much choice.
The Lawrence Territory indeed has deeper strength, but it's hard to bear that one is a fool. Pape Lawrence is well aware that if he hands the territory to his son, it's very likely that the entire Lawrence Territory will be destroyed within two years.
As for the other two, they aren't much better either.
