"If you really want to do it to this extent... I'm sorry, I haven't been able to meet the requirements yet," Avi was silent for half a minute before answering Eggsie, "but I really want to be a subordinate of Prince Bradley, even if it's just a lowly official position, I'm willing to put in my own efforts."

Eggesy crossed his arms and shook his head, "What's the use of trying! You see those five elite players have this realization, they are willing to give their lives to become knights!"

Just as Eggsy had made what he thought was right, Gadia's voice came from behind them. Gardia's voice was accompanied by Prince Bradley, who looked rather frail.

"Agesie, your shouting has awakened the entire barracks," Gardia helped Bradley, and Eggsy and Avi immediately walked over quickly, but Eggsy deliberately did not let Avi support the eldest prince, "Your Royal Highness already knows what you are being threatened. ”

Avi, who didn't know how to face Prince Bradley, was stunned, and Bradley had already spoken before he could speak.

"I believe in you, Avi. The sneak attack team disguised as the Spark Mercenary Regiment was sent by Heck, who also captured your companions and forced you to approach me with those men. Bradley's face was pale, and his left hand, which had lost two fingers, was still trembling slightly.

Avi fell to his knees with a "plop", and he said while holding back tears: "It's all because of my weakness that caused His Royal Highness to be injured... If I had been braver..."

"You're already brave," Bradley grinned reluctantly, "I already know what you want to do, and if it weren't for the sudden appearance of King Walter's brother, you would have carried out that extremely dangerous plan." ”

Avi's guilt deepened, he and Felistie had planned to jump into the moat and escape, "Prince Bradley... I... I..."

"Eggsie, you enter Mallott now with the handwritten letter I just wrote... Put the letter in Heck's hands and let him release Van and Coral..."

Avi couldn't help but raise his head when he heard this, his stunned eyes were already soaked with tears, but he was greeted by Bradley's gentle smile. Eggsy didn't say anything and immediately took the order. Gadia, on the other hand, said that Prince Bradley wrote the letter as a negotiation as soon as he learned the truth, on the condition that he would not attack the city of Mallot.

"So... To exchange such conditions for Fan and Coral..."

Bradley glanced at Gadia, obviously the weakened eldest prince needed a spokesman, "His Royal Highness has already judged Prince Walter's plan, so Mallot's dispute will be over for the time being, and with Walter's interpersonal skills, he will definitely be able to calm the conflict between the queen's faction and us." Moreover, His Royal Highness the Prince never thought of swords against Mallot, after all, there were countless innocent civilians there, and there were also relatives of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Avi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, "But the people sent by the queen..."

"Then you don't have to bother, His Royal Highness the Prince has his own arrangements, you and your companions are in order first, and we may be able to enter the city at any time. Bradley nodded after Gadia said this, Avi's mood was very complicated, but it was certain that he had a little more unease and guilt in his heart - because of his own fault, Prince Bradley negotiated on his behalf, in order to save two civilians, how could such a favor be repaid?

"Avi, from today onwards, you are me... Knights by my side, I hereby canonize you. Gadia, who was standing on the sidelines, understood, and she immediately drew her white lion sword, pressed one side of the sword on Avi's shoulder, and then handed the hilt to Bradley.

"Get down on one knee. Gadia whispered to Avi. At this time, Avi was still in a daze, but his right foot had unconsciously erected and his head was lowered, as if waiting for the barber to cut his hair.

Avi felt the blade of the sword touch on his shoulder three times, "In the name of the Heavenly Father, you will use justice as the sword, and in the name of the Kingdom of Salins, you will use loyalty as a shield, Avi, from this moment on, honor and courage will bless you! Bradley Feremiz hereby canonizes you as a knight of the Kingdom of Salins!"

At the age of eight or nine, Avi practiced repeatedly and recited the vows he should have taken when he was canonized as a knight, but at this time Avi was overwhelmed by great surprise and excitement. For as long as I can remember, the important things I have experienced in the past 20 years have flashed in my mind at this moment—despair, grief, confusion, emotion, happiness, determination, glory... All kinds of things passed in an instant, and the childhood dream came true at this moment, and the indescribable feeling was like putting a big handful of sand into a bottle that was not too big or small, without the slightest gap. At this moment, Avi could even recall his father's face, a very strange, very distant, but a face that he remembered when he was still unconscious.

"Promise quickly. Gadia reminded in a whisper.

"I promise... Will always be loyal and protect Prince Bradley!" Avi wanted to say in his throat, not because the words were too embarrassing, but because there were too many promises to say.

Bradley's right hand holding the sword was slightly released, and Gadia immediately took the white lion sword, "That's enough..." Bradley almost couldn't stand steadily, and Avi, who was still stunned on the ground, couldn't react at all, but Gadia hugged Bradley's waist like a noble man in a banquet and held the other party steady.

Bradley was soon sent back to the camp to rest, and Fenrir woke up, apparently unaware of Avi's recent canonization by Bradley himself as a knight of the Kingdom of Salins.

"I'm sorry to you," said Fenrir, who had long curls that parted obliquely, and that reddish-brown curls gave off a slight scent, "not for anything else, just for the slap." As you can see, I, Gadia, and Eggsy may have moments when we don't understand each other, but we are all absolutely loyal to Prince Bradley, and everything about the prince is everything to us. Since you have also been canonized as a knight by His Royal Highness the Prince, you will be our companion from now on, so I must apologize to you. ”

Still in a state of surprise, Avi immediately accepted Fenrir's apology, and kept talking about his mistakes, saying that he did not expect to be canonized for such a serious mistake.

Fenrir looked at the city of Mallot, which stood to the east, "His Royal Highness the Prince trusts you, and has trusted you since a long time ago. However, at this time, you can also be seen that His Royal Highness the Prince favors you," Fenrir's words made Avi feel a lot of pressure, "You must not live up to His Royal Highness's trust in you, and you must not betray His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

In addition to leaving such a heavy sentence to Avi, Fenrir also gave Avi a new white lion sword. He said that this was a necessary iron sword in Prince Bradley's army, and although he and Gadia were both horse masters, they would also wear long swords engraved with white lion marks, and although they were also soldiers of the Kingdom of Sallins gathered under the banner, they had only one master, and that was Prince Bradley.

Avi could understand what the other party meant, and he was only loyal to Prince Bradley, not the Kingdom of Salins or King Byron.

Returning to his tent, Avi wanted to rest for a while, after all, his body that had only slept for a few hours could not bear the fatigue of a whole day, and something extremely important to him had happened. However, the more people who wanted to sleep became more and more unable to sleep, and the sunlight had slipped in from outside the tent, Avi, who was in a complicated mood and had a head like paste, could only lie there with his eyes closed.

Avi began to fantasize about his life after being canonized as a knight, and he imagined that when he opened his eyes again, he would be greeted by a knight's attendant who would bring him toiletries and breakfast, and who would also dress himself in armor and bring a tall warhorse. He fantasized about living with the other soldiers, graduating from Kestrel Academy and becoming a member of Prince Bradley's army.

When Avi was woken up, Avi was completely unaware that he had slept for four hours, perhaps because thoughts and dreams had merged at some point, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Felisty had already washed up, she ate most of the breakfast that was brought in, "The rest is for you, I heard that you have been canonized as a knight, knights are regular soldiers, regular soldiers have to learn to starve." In fact, Felistie didn't have to say such a thing at all, because Avi would always remember Felisti's help to herself, and it was not something that a few slices of bread or meat could repay.

"I didn't expect that... I will be canonized by Prince Bradley himself..."

"I didn't expect it, but I really wanted to get it, right?" Felisti saw through Avi's thoughts at a glance, "You look even happier now than you are to get the first place in the Kestrel Academy exam, even if the news of Fan and Sango's death suddenly comes, I guess you won't be sad for long..."

"Van and Sango!"

"That's just a metaphor, stupid, you should be worried about yourself and not about anyone else, and forget about selfishness so quickly?"

Avi thought for a moment before saying, "I'm already a knight of the Kingdom of Salin now, and honor and loyalty are extremely important to me, so I'm selfish or something..."

"Selfish loyalty and selfish honor are the right choices in this world," Phylistie said solemnly, Avi's disapproval, "You look at the knights of other countries, the knights you have met, most of them are like this. ”

While Avi and Felisty were having a relaxed conversation, a soldier walked in briskly.

"Lord Gadia has an order, please go to the tent at once. ”

"What's the matter?"

"It seems to be about entering Mallot," the soldier said with a joy that could not be hidden, "the war is over." ”
