"Iβ" Avi had only one person in his heart, Miranda, even though he hadn't seen him for almost two years.
"If not, then I could..."
"Yes," replied Avi firmly, "it was a girl from my hometown, and I promised to go back and marry her when I had earned enough money, she was my favorite person and my future wife." β
Avi's answer surprised Fenrir and Bradley, and the ladies who were standing and listening were mostly relieved. Because Bradley glanced at these women when he was questioning just now, and that look revealed that he wanted to help Avi "matchmaking", if he was favored by this military academy student named Avi, he would lose the opportunity to marry into the royal family. However, there are also some aristocratic ladies who have an inexplicable affection for Avi, perhaps because Avi is also quite handsome, or maybe because Avi, who has given up his identity as an imperial person, still thinks about the girl in his hometown, this dedication is not pretended, and there is no need to pretend on such occasions.
Bradley smiled: "Don't forget the quality of a good person, since you are still thinking about your hometown lover, then you should work harder, and one day bring her to Mallot." β
Fenrir said, "Avi, you have missed a good opportunity, there are so many noble and beautiful young ladies here today, they are all the best women in the Kingdom of Salins, and they are also pure-blooded people of the Kingdom of Sarins..."
"Fenrir. β
"Ah, I'm sorry, Your Highness the Prince, it's me who is too talkative. Fenrir knew that he had lost his words, and he immediately bowed his head and remained silent.
Rost said with a serious face: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the cadets who come out of the Kestrel Academy will all become officers in the Kingdom of Salins, and everyone should take it as their responsibility to protect their families and defend the country, so getting married early is not a bad thing for them, and only with a family can they understand the importance of protecting others." β
Bradley nodded in agreement with Rost's words, and he immediately told the noble ladies that he hoped that they would choose the people of the kingdom's army to marry and become the support force of the kingdom's shield, instead of wasting time on dressing up and having fun.
While Avi was deeply in agreement, the noble ladies also dispersed, making way out of the crowd, "Brother Bradley!"
I saw that Princess Winlith was holding the little princess Nettney with one hand, and Winlith, who was a little taller than Bradley, walked through the passage that was vacated, and the noble ladies avoided the princess who was still wearing heavy plate armor, as if they were afraid of being touched by the other party's "manhood".
"Knightney has been shouting for you, Bradley you've been living in the barracks outside the city, even your own sister has ignored you. Winlith carried Knightney to Bradley, who immediately took his sister.
"It's me who is not good, because there are so many things in the city that I need to deal with, even in my original station, there are things that happen, I am too busy with work. β
"Brother, brother, I told Brother Anso and Brother Walter that our family hasn't had a chance to sit down and have a meal together! I want to eat with everyone!" "The last time Avi saw Netney, she was still a very shy little girl, but she didn't expect that she would become so cheerful in front of her brother now, and sure enough, blood is thicker than water.
"Don't be spoiled by your brother, there are already a lot of beauties around him," Wen Lisi teased on the side, as if she suddenly noticed Avi, "This person is... Isn't he the young man who once tried his swordsmanship with me?"
"Yes, my name is Avi, and I am Lord Stitch's bodyguard and an official cadet of the Kestrel Academy. β
"Well, I think about it, I didn't expect you to attend Walter's bar mitzvah. β
Bradley and Knightney whispered a few words before looking at Avi, "By the way, Avi, I am ready to accept you as a member of our army, if you want, you can successfully graduate from the Kestrel Academy and become my subordinate, I will form a knight order with the responsibility of protecting my sister, how about you being the deputy head of the knights?"
Bradley's words made Fenrir, Winlith, and Rost all look surprised, and Fenrir was the first to understand Bradley's meaning, after all, he had followed the eldest prince for many years.
"Brother Wang, he... He was a member of the Oguna Empire. β
"Avi has long given up his identity as an Imperial, and now he is the future pillar of our country, and as early as when he dared to face the dark forces of Mallotte and dare to confront the White Orphanage, I could see that he was a person with a strong sense of justice, and I gave the White Lion Sword to Avi in the hope that he could continue to work hard," Bradley turned to Avi here, and there was more than appreciation in his eyes, "The Kingdom of Salins is just the time to use people, and it is our honor to be able to convince the people of this country to our country." β
Prince Bradley's humble attitude made Avi stunned, and the other ladies were also stunned, at this time, the eldest prince in Avi's eyes was like a glowing gem, flashing Avi so much that he couldn't see things clearly, and he couldn't think about the position of "deputy head of the knighthood" that Prince Bradley gave him.
"Brother Wang, if you want to form a knight order to protect Netney, I should be the leader. β
"Avi, why don't you thank the eldest prince a little soon?" Fenrir looked at Avi with a smile, and Avi could no longer express his inner excitement in words, this time the opportunity in front of him was no longer a knight's squire, nor was it another opportunity, but a real knight, or the affirmation of the person he admired!
Silanes stood at the edge of the crowd, he stood on tiptoe and looked at Avi's expression, "Think clearly." The familiar voice of Syrannos pierced through the other noble ladies and into Avi's ears.
Rost also said when Avi was stunned: "It's rare to get such a rare opportunity before graduating, and it is also the affirmation of the Kestrel Academy by the royal family of the Kingdom of Sarins, and you haven't thanked the eldest prince immediately?"
Avi faced Bradley's smile and Knightney's ignorant eyes, "It's my honor that I'm willing to take on the responsibility of protecting Princess Knightney after graduating from Kestrel Academy!"
"If you're a knight, you need to kneel and take an oath. Fenrir said. Avi was about to kneel on one knee, but Bradley immediately grabbed Avi with his other hand.
"Sister, what do you think of this person named Avi, can he protect you?"
Knightney's eyes widened as she nervous as she faced the others, holding the bear with both hands, her round eyes wide, "I... I think he... He's a good guy..."
When the prince and the two princesses had gone away and the crowd at the pool had dispersed, Fenrir turned back to Avi's side. At this time, Avi was sitting by the pool in a daze, while Rost and Silanes continued to enjoy their leisure time, one dozing off and the other observing the flowers.
"Avi, His Royal Highness's words are not a joke," Fenrir patted Avi's shoulder gently, "Your performance is seen by Prince Bradley, especially your superb equestrian skills, which is an important ability to become a knight, so study hard and keep working hard, the knights who protect Princess Knightney will have your place, and His Royal Highness the Prince will also have your place in the barracks." β
After seeing Fenrir's figure walk away, Avi came back to his senses. He had never felt this kind of happiness and joy of being recognized, even if he was appointed as the captain of the cavalry by Captain Fed, it was not what he wanted to pursue - he wanted to be a real knight since he was a child, instead of taking care of the war horses in the stable all his life, when he was in Sky City, he was already very close to this dream, but he did not expect to come to Mallotte but meet Prince Bradley who appreciated him so much. Avi didn't know what to do to repay the other party's acquaintance, maybe it was his choice to do his best to protect the little princess.
The third prince's coming-of-age ceremony has been going on, but the third prince's fiancΓ©e, Miss Christine, has not shown up for a long time, so has the second prince Anso, and even Walter has not shown his face much, and Silaneos began to complain that time passed slowly, and he just wanted to end this boring party early and go home and sleep early.
"I heard that Miss Christine of the Duchy of Druman may not marry Prince Walter!"
"Who will you marry? Didn't you say you would marry Prince Walter? This is something that both Archduke Webster and King Byron approve of..."
"It's possible to marry the prince... If Prince Amsoil is firmly seated, then Archduke Webster will choose to woo Amsoil and marry his daughter to the future king of the kingdom, which is the real politics. β
"Hey, I think the Marquis named Roberto is going to leave Mallotte after seeing Christine get married, otherwise the Duchy of Deramain will send Walter back for nothing. β
"Shh
Avi's hearing has become more and more sensitive since he practiced the "Divine Brake", and the nobles who were talking in a low voice by the pool did not notice that Avi was eavesdropping, and Syrannos, who was lying by the pool, also seemed to be eavesdropping, but his movements were so great that he almost fell into the pool.
"Hey, look over there!" the nobles were distracted by the noise in the distance, and looked towards the entrance of the garden, and Avi and Rost also turned back.
I saw the second prince Ansu walking in the front, a team of two columns of guards walking behind, each row of guards carrying a prisoner who was shackled, and the prisoners all had desperate expressions.
Avi saw that there were men and women among the prisoners, as well as old men, and as soon as he was about to call out to Silanenos, Rost fell to his knees and looked at the guards behind Amel with a dead face.
King Byron, Queen Rosemund, and the princes and princesses all walked over, and the other nobles also stood in a wide range of views, looking at Prince Amsoil and the people he had brought in.
Amber was dignified, and he led the guards and prisoners to the lawn not far from the pool, and shouted to King Byron, "Father, I have captured most of the traitors, and the rest cannot slip through the net, and this is the result of the test you have given me." He spread his right hand, and the guards behind him pushed the prisoner to his knees.
King Byron had a glass in his hand, and he nodded, "Very good, very good, worthy of my son." β
"There's another important member," Ansoil suddenly turned his gaze to Avi's side, "I didn't expect him to be in the traitorous organization. β
