"Why?"
Looking at Avina's somewhat stunned expression, Kesi smiled helplessly, "Because this is what King Byron meant, I don't know whether to thank him or not, because he said that my marriage should be chosen by myself." Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
"In that case, you can also choose yourself..."Before Avi could finish his sentence, he read the hint in Kesi's eyes - the so-called self-choice, in fact, there is not much room for choice, after all, the Duchy of Dramain has already sent Kesi to Mallote as a "cargo". At that time, after escaping from Mallot, Coth did not choose to return to the Duchy of Deramain, but became a mercenary, and for this reason, she was destined to become a victim of diplomacy.
Some of Shaw's classmates began to gather behind Kiss, and Stitch and Phylisty noticed that Avi and Kiss were talking.
"Alright, I'll keep it a secret!" Keth nodded to Avi before turning away, leaving Avi in deep thought.
Prince Walter, who was mild-mannered, joined the fourth class that afternoon, first introducing himself to all the students and giving them a quill.
"This is a precious brush shipped from White Feather City, the white feather is made of swan feathers, and the goose feathers that have experienced wind and rain are not easy to fall off and deform, but I still hope that all students can take care of it. Walter's voice was crisp, and he spoke at a pace that was neither slow nor fast, as if to make his words clear to all who listened.
Avi picked up the quill that had been handed out to him, and he remembered that the sword that Prince Bradley had given him was also white.
"I don't write much, so if you like it, pick it up. Celenos cocked his chair and leaned back on it and shook it slightly, his face full of disdain.
"Alright then, I'll take it. β
"When you receive something from others, you have to look at people's faces and do things, so I also like to give. Celenos said coldly as Avi first touched the white quill.
Clear footsteps came from the teaching platform, and the curly-haired prince dressed in civilian clothes walked up to Celenos and stretched out his right hand, "Hello, may I ask if you are the famous Celenos?"
"Oh, when did I become the famous Syrannos," Celenos didn't even reach out to shake Prince Walter's hand in front of everyone, he pulled back his hands that had been on the table and crossed them behind his head, "Besides, you're a freshman at the Kestrel Academy, and I'm older than you, so you should call me 'senior'." β
Avi felt a hot breath surging from his body to his face, he couldn't believe that Celenos would say such a thing, as Celenos's tablemate, Avi couldn't wait to immediately walk out of the classroom and hide from a distance to watch the situation unfold. The other students also opened their mouths, and the teacher who was about to teach looked at Silanes with the most ferocious eyes, but Sylanenos's eyes were half-closed and half-open, as if no one could see them.
Walter took his hand back, "Sure enough, it's a special student, I believe you will be a talent, or a geek, then I'll sit here." Walter pointed to the gap between Cyranos and Avi, where a chair could be placed, as Celenos had asked Avi not to come so close.
"I'm sorry, this is the place of my good friend Avi, Avi, why are you sitting so far away?" Avi was startled, he was watched by Cylaneus and Walter, not knowing whether to move his chair a little bit.
"Alright then, I'll sit here. This time, Walter didn't use his finger, but walked directly to Avi's side, and between him and Syrannos there was a horse farm boy from Goldhoof City.
Walter behaves like a very serious student in class, and Avi sees that Walter's handwriting is very beautiful, and the notes he takes are very detailed, if there is anything that makes Avi uncomfortable, it is that Walter often touches his hair or tidies his clothes, like a young lady who likes to dress up.
Walter also chatted with Avi, who knew that Avi was a "brave man" who killed the Imperial Inquisitor and renounced his status as an Imperial. Walter greatly appreciated Avi's choice, believing that the Oguna Empire had been divided into two, and that publicly abandoning the identity of the Empire at this time was a move to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, which made many Empire people living in Mallot follow suit and gain the respect of other Sallins Kingdoms.
Finally staying up until the end of class and getting home, Felistie and Stitch both blocked Avi, and one stood to the side, constantly asking Avi questions. Stitch wants to know about Prince Walter, and the red-haired girl once again throws out the idea that Avi and Miss Christine have a close relationship, leaving Avi unsure of how to answer.
"Could it be that Prince Walter asked you to send a message to Christine?" Stitch suddenly connected the thoughts in his head, "If my fiancΓ©e is as gentle and beautiful as Miss Christine, then I will also want to be with her all the time, and there will be endless topics to talk about!"
"Is it gentle and lovely..."Avi remembered the image of Kesi when she was in the Moon Shield Mercenary Group and the Potato Mercenary Group, it was impossible for Kesi to have anything to do with the Principality's eldest lady, more like a village girl who didn't like to do rough work.
The test thrown by the ghost of the academy soon spread throughout Mallot, the last test put Princess Winlith in prison for a month, and at the same time saw the resolute, fair and upright side of Prince Amseol, so this test has also been taken seriously by all parties, and has become a topic of conversation on the streets and after dinner.
"O traitor, do any of you know who might be a traitor?"
"How could we have anything to do with that kind of person," Avi and Fan heard some passers-by whispering on the way to "Hot and Sour Blackberry", "but as far as I know, that academy ghost may be a traitor! β
"You seem to have a point..."
The big-nosed fan walked away before saying to Avi: "It makes sense, these little people really don't understand anything, no wonder they are so poor!"
"If you were a smart person, you wouldn't be discussing this kind of thing on the street, and you would discuss it so loudly," Avi glanced back, and another citizen gathered around, and the three of them continued to discuss in a low voice, "but judging from the recent situation, everyone has focused on the test thrown by the ghost of the academy, which is also a good thing." β
"What's so good?"
"Then maybe you can really find a traitor who intends to overthrow the kingdom of Sarins. β
"Do you really think of yourself as a native of the Kingdom of Sarins?" Fan patted Avi on the back, and pushed the other party forward, pushing Avi directly into the "Hot and Sour Blackberry", "People can't forget their roots!"
After the two of them sat down, the guys in the shop expertly picked up some fresh raw meat and let Avi and Fan roast it.
"By the way, I'd like to tell you some of the information I've received lately," Fan whispered after sprinkling the pieces of raw beef with spices, "I don't know who the traitor is, but I have some clue about the true identity of the ghost of the Academy. β
"Really?!" Avi almost choked on the Kerry that had just been poured into his mouth, and he immediately put down the bottle and leaned his ear to it.
"I've heard from the 'Cat's Nest' that a mask that appears to be a ghost of the House has been found, and it was found in the home of a Kestrel Academy graduate. β
"Graduates?"
"That's right, that 'cat' claimed to have stumbled upon that mask at a friend's house, and later realized that it was the one that the Academy Ghost wears every time it appears!"
"The other 'cats'?
Big Nose Fan waved his hand, "I'll tell you honestly, people who eat in the 'cat nest' don't put all their chips on the 'master' and 'line', and we will have a party in private, which only belongs to the 'cats'." There, they will share information with each other, and they will not be as rigid as in the 'cat den'. β
Avi showed a mysterious expression, "Then you must not hide anything from me!"
"Don't worry, I'm just mixing in with those people to protect myself, if something happens to you, it's like something happens to me, of course I can't put myself in a dangerous situation!" Fan put the raw beef on the iron rack and prepared to barbecue the meat, "Anyway, the mask was indeed found in that graduate's home, as for the following... I don't know very well, but I heard that the graduate no longer lives at the Kestrel Academy, and he has become an officer serving in the city defense. β
Avi followed up and found that the big-nosed fan hadn't gotten much information, but the secret of the academy's ghost was finally a bit of an eyebrow. When Rost had asked Avi to "monitor" Sylanenos's movements, Avi did, seeing something that had nothing to do with the ghosts of the Academy, and that pointed to more secrets behind Celenos.
Just as Ah Wei and Fan were whispering, a guy from the store walked into the box with a very special food, "This is a new dish in our store, called 'Sour Plum Wine Soaked Smoked Duck Slices', which was specially given to the two of them by the proprietress of Jieli." "Fan hasn't seen this guy last time I've been here, but since it's a food delivery, you're welcome.
As soon as Fan raised his fork and knife, Avi found a thin slice that did not look like duck meat in the copper basin containing duck meat and sour plum wine, "What is this?" Avi pulled the thin slice out with a spoon, and found that the thin iron sheet was engraved with a time and place, and the words "Academy Ghost" were engraved on the reverse side of the sheet.
