Chapter 47 The Night of Martial Law
The arrival of the second prince of the Kingdom of Salins made many citizens of the Papal States run to watch. Fyde and Coss and several of his subordinates also wanted to see what Prince Amsoil looked like, especially Cose, who wondered if Walter looked exactly like his brother. It is said that King Byron had only three women in his life, and in addition to the current queen Rosemund, there was also a queen and a commoner woman, of which the queen gave birth to two sons and two daughters, while the other woman gave birth to only one son, and that son was the second prince, Antho Feremitz.
In addition to the three princes, there are two princesses, Winris Feremitz, the sister of the eldest prince Bradley, who is married to a knight in the kingdom, and a ten-year-old princess, Knightney. She is the pearl of King Byron's palm, and she cherishes it very much, and even wants to take down the moon in the sky for the little princess, and specially builds a high platform, just to make the little princess happy.
Amsol, on the other hand, became a prince in the name of an illegitimate child - the kingdom of Sahlins was more tolerant of this matter than the rest of the continent, believing that even women of low status could inherit all the property and status of their father, but the priority was slightly lower. Therefore, Amsoil was not looked down upon because of his mother's background, but Amsol, who was smart and sensible since childhood, was soon able to assist King Byron, deal with many political matters, and become a capable prince.
This time the second prince came to the Papal States in person, which must have been the result of the unanimous recommendation of the kingdom, and also showed the importance that the Kingdom of Salins attached to the pope - but the archbishop did not think so, he was hostile to the concubine prince Ansol, and this kind of illegitimate children outside of legal marriage was disgraced by the Illuminati, and they only advocated the doctrine of monogamy.
Fidel's party stood on one side of the street, and they watched as the kingdom's cavalry marched down the avenue of the City of Light. There wasn't even a single foot soldier in this group, and Feder knew that Uncle Evan was definitely not among them, so he had nothing to worry about.
"Deputy Commander, aren't you from the Kingdom of Salins, how about this prince named Amme?" Marcus the One-Eyed folded his hands on his chest, he knew that the Kingdom of Sarins was a prosperous and powerful kingdom united inside and outside, not only with a vast territory, but also with a wise ruler, and gave birth to three princes with their own specialties.
"That's right, the deputy head of the regiment is from the kingdom, maybe one day we can bring the mercenary group to Mallot, it is rumored that the people there live a very leisurely and happy life," Hughes, a little handsome squad leader, is almost twenty-eight years old, and he is still single, although he says that he doesn't look down on the woman who chases him, but who knows the truth?"
"I'm a hillbilly and don't know this prince and the beauty of Mallot. Feder replied lightly.
"Let's wait for me to tell you about it!" Coss glanced at Fed, the other party's expression was indifferent, and his eyes looked directly at the second prince's cavalry squadron, "The eldest prince Bradley is brave and brave and decisive, the second prince is shrewd and capable, dignified and courteous, and the third prince is" She said this, and deliberately glanced at Feder again, and Feder still had the same expression of "What does it have to do with me? I'm just here quietly watching the scenery."
"What's wrong with the third prince? I heard he's a hostage of the Duchy of Dlaman?" asked Avi.
"The third prince, Walter, is a handsome, gentle, and generous young man who is both civil and military, and he will achieve great achievements in the future. Keth held Walter so high that all the people of the Potato Mercenary Regiment sighed and expressed their desire to meet such heroes.
Only the big-nosed Fan said, "This is too exaggerated, isn't it? The milky boy probably hasn't even touched a knife, how can he become a hero? Have you ever seen this prince?" Fan asked, looking at the warden Kesi.
Kesi hurriedly said, "I heard it too! But many people say that, you can ask my brother!"
Greif looked at the puzzled eyes of the others, he nodded fiercely, then patted his chest with his hand, and said loudly: "It's true, that third prince Walter is indeed very capable, a handsome and extraordinary prince!"
Coze knew that Greif would praise Walter, but Fed's expression didn't change in the slightest, like the face of a horse riding under his crotch.
At this time, Amsol's carriage came to the front of the potato mercenary group, and the second prince's face looked over to Fidel. The prince, who had combed his hair very shiny, and tied all his hair back, looked like a line at the corners of his mouth, as if he never smiled.
Although Feder and his party were staring at the second prince to see what was special about this person in a high position of power, Ansoon's sweeping gaze did not stop for a second, and the prince looked at people as if he was looking at the wind blowing, with and without it.
"It doesn't look like that," Kesi whispered. After she came to Mallot, she spent some time with Walter, and that time was her happiest time in Mallot, but as Walter was sent to study in Winter City, Walter's appearance could only appear in her mind. Therefore, the appearance of the third prince is particularly profound for Kesi, but this Anth's appearance is very sharp, whether it is eyes, nose, ears, mouth and eyebrows, all of which give people a sense of unapproachable distance, compared with the gentle, polite, enthusiastic and cheerful Walter, they are completely two types of people.
However, the appearance of this second prince is still a little different from that of Fidel. Amsoil was ruthless, and Feyder was expressionless.
At the end of the escort was the Knight Captain Riley, and there were some members of the Church Order behind him, but when he saw Klesh, he quickly dismounted and walked over to get close.
"Master Chief, Lord Fed, and Miss Cash, the Chief Mercenary Regiment's Warden, seeing you have made the otherwise gloomy sky shine brightly!" His stiff features suddenly changed, like a flower in full bloom.
The subordinates behind Fidel all showed expressions of disgust and disdain, but this did not hinder Riley's courtesy.
"It's a nice day, how can it be gloomy?" asked Kesi.
"Because this second prince didn't bring any good news," Riley looked at Coss with a smile, but that smile was too hypocritical, "Prince Amsey is actually meeting with the Pope by discussing religious exchanges with the Papal States" He suddenly pressed his hand holding his forehead to his mouth, realized that he had just said something that should not be said, and hurriedly mounted his war horse.
"Isn't it natural to meet the Pope?" asked Kess, curious.
"Ah, the subordinates in front are urging me, I'll go first. He hurriedly left the Potato Mercenary Group, leaving everyone confused and completely confused.
However, Fed was able to find clues from Riley's words - presumably, the knights who were attached to the archbishop did not want to see the Pope come into contact with the real power of other countries, after all, their internal contradictions were very serious.
However, in the afternoon, the archbishop issued a notice to all the mercenary groups that joined the church alliance, and the shocking news - tonight's Holy Light City will enter a state of martial law.
The news was that Rassad, the deputy head of the Church Order, personally came to the rented house of the Potato Mercenary Regiment and told Feder in person. Moreover, the deputy head of the regiment said that the archbishop had put the Knights of the Church into combat readiness and took over the guard of the Papal States with full authority.
In addition, Rashad also told the people of the Potato Mercenary Group that from this moment on, the gates of the Holy Light City will be closed immediately, and all personnel will not be allowed to go out and enter, on the grounds of ensuring the safety of the Sallins Emissary.
"It can't be something big?!" Noor asked Rassad.
"I don't know, anyway, I'm going back to the barracks now, don't go out if you don't have anything to do, lest you be misunderstood by the Knights of the Church. β
Everyone said that it was the first time they had encountered such a thing. Martial law is a military takeover of the city, and anyone who can't give a valid reason to leave the house can be summarily executed. There have also been several martial law incidents in the capital in the history of the mainland, which were usually paved for a coup d'Γ©tat, and the sky had already changed by the next day.
Rashad walked on the front foot, and Patrick came to their house on the back foot, "I heard that martial law is under tonight, I think it would be better for me to stay with you." β
Lying in a corner, Big Nose Fan sneered, "Even the masked fighters are here, it looks like something big is going to happen outside!"
The others looked solemn, although there was enough food and water in the house to last tonight and tomorrow, but judging from the expression of the deputy head of the regiment, Rashad, it really looked like something big had happened.
Both Hughes and Luca, who had just moved in, looked out the window to see groups of armed church men already walking down the street. You must know that the dark night of winter comes very early, so at this point in time, the sky is already a little dark, and those civilians walking on the road also look panicked, and speed up their steps to their homes.
"Could it be that the prince of the kingdom of Salins is dead?" said Noor this morning, and he could see that the prince was short-lived, and had no royal demeanor at all.
"If it's dead, forget it, if the army of their Kingdom of Salins is outside the city, and they plan to join forces with the outside and take the Papal States in the name of diplomacy, that's the most troublesome. "Marcus knew that in addition to the Empire, the Kingdom of Sallins was not very friendly with the Papal States. The kingdom of Sarins, which has simple folk customs, does not have a large number of believers, and this time the second prince of the kingdom came to meet the pope in person, or in the name of religious exchanges, which is really unusual.
Even if you send an army to attack the Holy Light City, you have to choose a target - the Pope or the archbishop?
"Anyway, you stay in your room, and Patrick will be grieved and sleep in the hall for the night. Fidel noticed that Ayana had been sharpening the arrows, and that the other was looking at the floor as if she were looking at her prey, ever since she saw Amsol's horse team.
