Chapter 320: The New King of Sarins I
readx;
Avi had forgotten what mood he was in when he returned to the barracks outside the city, and when he wrote down all the events of the day in a newly opened journal, he suddenly found that Fenrir, who had lived with him, was no longer there, and that the latter had been taken into custody by Bradley to await trial. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Avi lay on the bed, the head and body injuries made him toss and turn, tonight's events are still vivid, the fate of the kingdom of Salins without Byron seems to have been decided, and he only needs to open his eyes again to see a new future.
Fenrir didn't say a word after attacking King Byron, he just lowered his hands and closed his eyes. Avi saw the words "no hesitation" on the other party's face, perhaps Fenrir had the same idea as the old captain Cowton before he rushed out - he wanted to put Prince Bradley on the throne of this kingdom. Neither Gadia nor Eggsy chose to intercede, they were more silent than anyone else, but Avi could feel a gleaness in them.
Evan had Byron's body carried to the underground temple of the royal palace after King Byron's heart had completely stopped beating, where not only the Heavenly Father but also the bones of the kings of the Kingdom of Salins were enshrined. The priests of the underground temple would dispose of the king's body and wait until the king was reduced to a pile of bones before placing him in the grave. Evan, who had no complaints about Bradley, immediately asked Bradley to resign as deputy leader of the kingdom after disposing of Byron's body, saying that it was difficult for Byron to let him assist Bradley, and he would choose to stay in his private house and would not ask about the affairs of the kingdom again. At the same time, he also hinted that Byron did know about the White Orphanage, and hoped that Bradley would not pursue the matter further, and that pursuing it would only cause the dead Byron to lose his reputation.
"Now that the rebels have been eliminated, my brother will once again be the one who defends this kingdom, and I hope that Your Royal Highness, you will be able to purge the illegal, while upholding justice and strictness. These were the last words left by Evan, and the deputy ruler of the kingdom never made any ill will towards Bradley, nor commented on the deaths of others. Perhaps in his heart, he also thought that Bradley was the one worthy of trust in the Kingdom of Salins, but Byron was his master, and his loyalty to the king was far above all else.
The masked Reeves was immediately canonized by Bradley as the new Minister of Intelligence, and the Earl of Feremon was canonized as the new vice-governor of the kingdom, responsible for taking over the subordinates and possessions of Gronos. Reeves, who was a mysterious man hiding in the deep palace to advise Byron, quickly accepted Bradley's appointment, and judging by his reaction, he was also a loyal man to the kingdom of Salins. The Earl of Fremont also happily joined Bradley's side, and he was given the right to return to his city first. Feremon's first task was to disband the assembled nobles, who were shocked to hear the news of Walter and Byron's death, but Feremon's choice to immediately defect to Bradley made them realize that there was a way out.
Bradley was not going to pursue those armies who had already surrounded the city and beyond, or even the entire palace. The tens of thousands of soldiers who had already entered the city of Mallotte could have been convicted of rebellion, but Avi knew Bradley's reasons for doing so, and the soldiers were all soldiers of the Kingdom of Salins, and their families were waiting for their return from afar.
The Academy Ghost took advantage of the chaos of the King's assassination to escape the palace, and it is very likely that Reeves, who knew the true identity of the Academy Ghost, did not tell Bradley about the Academy Ghost, and Bradley only sent a few people to hunt down the civilian freak who broke into the palace without permission. The other party acted as a mediator for the intensification of the incident, and what the other party said was true, and in the end, these words also led to the result that Bradley did not expect - all the obstacles in front of Bradley were cleared one by one, and the only person who could inherit the rule of the Kingdom of Salins was Bradley, if this was the original intention of the Academy Ghost, then wouldn't he be helping Bradley?
At least that's what Avi and Eggsy think, the House Ghost, Cowton, and Fenrir have done a lot of things that Avi himself would not dare to do, and these things have helped Bradley in terms of results, even if these results are not what Bradley wanted in the first place, but they are what their loyal subordinates want. Even in Avi's heart, he thought it would be better for Walter and Byron to die, and that their deaths would regenerate the kingdom.
Princess Knightney was sent back to the princess's bedchamber, and Korth, who had always remained calm, chose to sleep with the princess. When Keth heard the news that Walter was attacked and killed by the Queen's faction, she didn't give any response, her husband would always be the royal family of the Kingdom of Salins, and changing from Walter to Bradley was something that she had thought about for a long time, and the death of Walter and the others just made Kesi feel a little more sad and emotional.
When Bradley left the palace, he asked Dugore, the foreign secretary and director of the Kestrel Academy, to draft a statement that King Byron, Queen Rosemund, and Walter, the third prince of the Kingdom of Salins, had been murdered by a rebel led by Gronos and Heck. They have unfortunately been killed, and the former president of the mastermind, Guronos, has been corrected on the spot, and the other mastermind, Heck, is on the run, and the nobles of all regions of the kingdom must step up their patrols to catch Heck, who escaped from the city of Mallot, and bring him back to Mallotte for trial.
As soon as Bradley returned to the barracks, he sent his men to find Winlith, who was in ambush, and to return to Salt Harbor, far west of the kingdom, to ensure the safety of Ammeh. He also received the "good" news after returning to the barracks - Prince Vic had been found in King Byron's bed. The baby, who was actually Byron's grandson, was also declared dead in a public statement, and Bradley intended to adopt the child temporarily, after all, he was the child of his own half-brother, and an innocent life, and should not be affected by the past.
Gadia and Laura found Marcelo's body, along with other slain soldiers, when they took over the city guards of Mallot. These men were all killed by Walter's men, and the information they were hiding in Mallotte was leaked, but fortunately Bradley achieved a decisive result in the palace, otherwise they would not have escaped from Mallot.
The next morning, it was earlier than usual, and Avi was very unwell from the injuries on his body. However, he knew that the kingdom of Sallins had undergone such a huge change in one night, and Prince Bradley must have a myriad of important matters to deal with immediately. If I can share a little pressure for Bradley, I can persist no matter how difficult and uncomfortable it is.
The prince's camp was already full of generals, and before Avi could enter the tent, he heard Bradley's order, "That woman named Dorothea is Walter's personal bodyguard, and if she promises to have no other plans, let her go... The father and mother were buried separately, and Marcello, Cowton, and Broken Eyebrow were brought back to Salt Harbor for burial, and their names were engraved on the white tablet... Avi, are you here?"
Avi saw a deep dark circle appear under Bradley's eyes, he must be more uncomfortable than anyone else when he lost his father, mother, younger brother and important subordinates, "Yes, Your Highness, your subordinates will obey your orders!"
"Okay, there's a lot of aftermath to deal with, so you have to be mentally prepared. When Bradley spoke to Avi, the man who had killed his brother with his own hands, his tone was gone, and instead it was more of a cold, mechanical tone, as if the two were just the most ordinary subordinate relationship.
Avi's first task was to put the Kestrel Academy in order, allowing the students who had been living in the academy to go home and bring back all the students' information, and Bradley planned to select the right people from among the students who were preparing to graduate and appoint them.
King Byron was dead, and the throne was within reach, but Bradley did not mention anything about the throne when discussing the matter with his men, and Eggesy held Avi after the meeting.
"You killed Walter, Fenrir killed Byron, and the queen died, what threat do you think there?" said Eggsy's blunt question, which made Avi feel a little embarrassed.
"Hmm... The previously agreed 'Council of the Five Parties' may still hinder His Highness Bradley, and the Marquis Roberto and the two border nobles have not left... And Count Feremont, who is still in Prince Walter's barracks, and has only begun to disband those armies today, right?"
"None of these guys have to be afraid," Egges continued, glancing back behind him to make sure no one was eavesdropping, "I think... Princess Knightney will be the last one standing in the way. Eggsie's words were so light that Avi almost wanted the other party to say it again, but he couldn't say it again, because just saying it once would scare Avi.
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, she... She's still a child..."
"That's right, but she's also a royal family of the Kingdom of Salins, and she also has the right to inherit the throne, and the truth she witnessed is enough to become a threat to His Royal Highness's integrity again, you killed her favorite brother with your own hands..."
"No matter how much you think about it, you shouldn't do anything to Princess Knightney..."
"Hahahaha," Eggsy burst out laughing, and patted Avi on the shoulder twice, "I'm just testing you! Do you think I really have anything to think of Princess Netney? she's the eldest prince's very loving sister, and you don't have to worry, His Royal Highness will take care of you and the stone axe." ”
Avi suddenly realized, and also broke out in a cold sweat, it turned out that Eggsy was testing himself just now. Maybe it's because of the worried expression he has been showing since last night that Egges has the idea of testing herself, or maybe it's actually Bradley's temptation of herself. All in all, Natney is just a "threat in the chest" to Avi, who can neither open the chest nor take the contents of the chest.
Accompanied by the knight's squire, Avi re-entered the Kestrel Academy, where Stitch and Felisty were standing not far from the academy gates, the smiles on their faces that made Avi feel a little relaxed.
