Hired Mercenary Company won't leave my side!

This may sound like a simple thing to solve, but what I have is completely different.

So I started my own kingdom, and to help in it's defense I hired a company of Mercenaries (the Unicorn Knights). After a while, I decided that I wanted to join the Empire as a vassal. I sent a messenger to Marius Imperator, offered my sword for vassalage, and became a subject of the Empire. Now this is where I have my problem.

The mercenaries I hired earlier WILL NOT DISBAND. They are still sitting in my keep doing nothing but sucking in over 12000 denars a week! I have tried to talk to him, but all the leader says is, "Goodbye for now." Is there anyway, either within the game or through the game files, that I can remove the mercenaries?

Lead them into certain death.

I can't, sadly. They remain in my castle, and I can't do anything with them. The only plausible way I can think of removing them is be having my castle be conquered, and then reconquer it. But I really want to avoid having to do that.

Are they garrisoned?  The one time I hired a merc company they garrisoned in my castle, and I just removed them into my army then went and stuffed them in someone elses army.  That was one that didn't have a leader though

Unfortunately, no. The mercenaries don't show up in my garrison management page. Their faction colour is the Pendor Blue, while my faction colour is Empire Yellow.

Good lord. 12k down the drain every week. That is one nasty bug.

Out of curiosity, are you running 3.611?

Not a real solution but you could just activate cheat mode and give yourself enough cash each week to counter the bug until a solution presents itself.

Only way I would know how to fix this.

They watched too much MLP and now think your gold is Magic.  I mean, who wouldn't want a entire Knight Order of manly warriors dedicated to MLP? You should think yourself fortunate!

Renounce your oath and become independent again.
Then you can order to disband them as they´re still Pendor and attached to your kingdom.

One of the nasty surprises MV has for laggards. You´re clearly punished for that oversight, NiftyNinjae.

Ah, yes. When in doubt, "It's a feature."

The nuance is subtle, only experts can really spot the difference.

You´re just a minor meddler.
An expert had told you it´s missing the topper.
