"There seem to be fewer people going back to school today, and I've heard that they've all gone to petition Demps for a retrial of the original rebellion. Pen Fun www.biquge.info" Stitch said to Avi and Felistie as he ate his lunch. Avi and Felistie glanced at each other, and there was no news of King Byron after he fainted in the central square, and they didn't know what happened to the king, who was over sixty years old, and the king was apparently angry about the "rehabilitation" of the academy ghosts, including the key figure Demps.

"In addition to the students of our academy, there are many civilians who have spontaneously called out outside the prison in Mallot, hoping that those who have been wronged can be rehabilitated and no longer bear the false accusations," said a student who has a good relationship with Stitch, "I heard that this incident has made many people question the fairness of the Kingdom of Sallins, and they have asked Prince Bradley to retry the original case..."

"Why Prince Bradley?" Avi already had an answer when he asked the question, but he wanted to be able to say it from someone else's mouth.

"Because Prince Bradley has always adhered to the principle of fairness and justice!" the cadet blurted out, "The people in his realm are very supportive of him, and the people who live in that place are probably the happiest people in the kingdom of Salins... But that's what I've heard. ”

Avi heard that most of the other students who were having lunch were discussing King Byron's condition, some people said that King Byron had been vomiting blood, as if it was a very serious illness that affected his life, and some people said that King Byron might have died of illness, so there was no news that there was no news, after all, the current prince had not yet been decided, and Prince Bradley had just completed King Byron's test, and Walter had not made any progress.

For the next few days, King Byron's illness hung over Mallotte like a haze. Every time Avi walked home, he could see many commoners kneeling outside the palace door praying for King Byron's blessings, most of them chanting prayers, but there were also some commoners calling the name of a certain prince, hoping to identify the prince as soon as possible.

Coral brought a letter one night, "from the Empire, addressed to Stitch." She said in sign language.

Stitch immediately called Avi and Fan to check it out, and the content of the letter was presumably that the East Oguna Empire was very concerned about King Byron's condition. King Byron, who had been ill for ten days, had no news coming out and had not shown his face, and had become the focus of attention of foreign countries - even the Eastern Oguna Empire, which was separated by an empire of Western Oguna, wanted to know the position of the prince.

The letter refers to the statements of other countries. The Papal States issued a statement the day after King Byron became ill, in which they strongly opposed the illegitimate son of Amsore becoming prince, claiming that the provisional prince Amsore was absolutely inadmissible to the throne and did not conform to the dogma of propriety. Such a clear and strong statement came as a bit of a surprise to the other countries, followed by statements from the Duchy of Dramain and the Duchy of Noor, both of which hinted at their support for the third prince, Walter, who believed that Walter was wise and suitable to take the place of King Byron at this time.

Bernardo, Duke of Grape City, who wrote this letter, hoped that Stitch would make his attitude clear to the royal family of the Kingdom of Salins as soon as possible and be ready.

"Get ready?" Fan saw that only these four words were written on the letter, and did not explain what kind of preparation it was.

"Aha! this is my code for my father and me!" Stitch pointed to the four words, "which means that I should protect myself and keep in touch with the diplomatic envoys in Mallot, and even try to protect the people of the Oguna Empire who live and do business here!"

"There was no fighting, why?" said Fan Gang, and both Avi and he realized the seriousness of the problem.

Sure enough, Avi saw more soldiers patrolling the streets the next morning. The heavily armed soldiers were just like the scene in the Holy Light City during martial law, but the soldiers did not take the initiative to stop the civilians from entering the streets, they just patrolled vigilantly, as if the gangsters would jump out of the alley in the next second.

Avi and the other students, who had just returned to the Kestrel Academy, heard the order of the head of the academy, Dugol, "The Kestrel Academy will provide food and lodging to all students in the next two weeks, and all students can stay in the academy. ”

Avi was taken aback by the news, and when he asked, he learned that this situation had only happened once in the history of the Kestrel Academy - that time it happened to be a civil strife in the Kingdom of Salins, and the nobles who wanted to rebel had already lined up their troops outside the gates of Mallot, and there were many people in the city who were suspected of being rebels.

"It's been more than ten days... King Byron hasn't heard anything yet, is it possible?" whispered a cadet sitting in front of Avi.

"Those neighboring countries have expressed their support for the third prince Walter to become the prince, if it weren't for the fact that there is no king in the current kingdom of Salins, they wouldn't be so eager to make a statement, right?"

"I've heard that the Marquis of the Duchy of Dramain named Roberto has left Mallot, and that he and the army he brought with him have chosen to camp in a hilly area somewhere outside the city... What does this mean?"

"What do you mean? Your military class is in vain! Condescending! This is a posture of waiting to see what happens, and he must be afraid of being involved in the current situation!"

Avi listened to the conversations of the academies, and he suddenly felt a sense of crisis rushing over his face, and goosebumps all over his body.

Sylanes lay next to him, he didn't care about the other students' discussions, and likewise, he didn't care about the instructors on the teaching platform, but Avi had just heard that Sylanes had received a perfect score in a recent mock exam, and it was estimated that he would not have to stay here for classes soon.

In the evening, Keth found Avi, who told her everything she knew. It turned out that King Byron was indeed bedridden, but King Byron did not die of illness, nor did he get to a bad situation.

"I don't know when King Byron will recover, but the situation inside the palace is calmer than outside, at least the three princes are very safe and their duties are not dangerous..."

"What do you mean by a dangerous move!?"

"Marquis Roberto's move is a dangerous move," Kesi looked worried, "I can only tell you this, the situation about King Byron should not be leaked casually, but I hope that you and Van will take care of ourselves, if King Byron's condition changes, I don't know what will happen next." ”

"Well, I will, and you have to protect yourself... Please let me know if there is any use for me!"

Kesi smiled, "I see, I'm safe now, as long as King Byron's condition is stabilized, nothing bad will happen." ”

Avi told his instructor that he would not stay at the Kestrel Academy as soon as Koth turned to leave, and he and Felistie agreed that if there was any real emergency in Mallotne, Felistie would immediately go to Stitch's house to find them and face the possible changes together.

"You have the white lion sword that Prince Bradley gave you, is that a sign of taking sides, Avi?" asked Feliste as she left the academy.

"I sincerely hope that the Grand Prince will ascend to the throne, but my status is Lord Stitch's bodyguard, and the affairs of the Kingdom of Sallins themselves should be handled by themselves. ”

"I'm relieved that you'll say that, don't forget, I'm here to protect you. ”

That night, Avi could see more patrols patrolling the streets through his window, and many people were too scared to go out, even those who had petitioned in front of the prison were gone.

Stitch returned home late, and when he returned, he brought the bad news: "It's over! King Byron may not really be alive!"

"No, it won't!"

"It's true, but I thought about it... Maybe King Byron's condition isn't that serious," Stitch raised his hands and shrugged his shoulders, "The Imperial diplomat stationed in Mallot just told me that something big happened at today's court, that is, Rosemande, who was closest to King Byron, openly supported Prince Ansool as the ultimate prince. Do you know that after King Byron fell ill, the government was controlled by Prince Amso and Queen Rosemund, who were temporarily princes, and Prince Bradley, whom you admired the most, did not even go further to the palace, and stayed in the barracks of Chengcheng. And the Prince Walter never happened, nor did he express his position, and even today when Queen Rosemand said that she would decide on the choice of the prince, Walter did not say a word..."

"It's over! it's going to change the sky!" Fan suddenly let out a strange voice on the side, like a wild wolf in the forest.

Coral patted Fan's head lightly, and she said in sign language, "Does the diplomat have any orders?"

"Yes, he'll let us live in his mansion, and he'll set up the Imperial merchants and let the Imperial guards protect them... His meaning is obvious, the coup has happened!"

"Coup d'état!?" this time even Avi could not sit still, he had learned the word from books, and he had also heard about the internal struggle between the archbishop and the pope in the papal state. That should all be a coup d'état, right?

"If King Byron dies suddenly, who will inherit the throne?" Stitch pretended to be confident, "Of course, it is the current prince, the second prince Amsey! The diplomat told me that Prince Walter had not yet completed the test given by King Byron, so his prestige in Mallot had fallen to its lowest point, and the solidarity of other countries had only harmed Prince Walter. ”

"It's really unfair, being a hostage in a foreign country but losing the opportunity!"

"So we have to hurry up!Avi, Fan, and Sango, you go and pack up immediately, our identity is different from the ordinary Kestrel Academy students, they want to hide in the Military Academy, and we have the protection of the Oguna Empire!"
