"Son, your ears are very sensitive," Demps slowly opened his eyes, his hair was half-white, although his voice was loud, but the traces of time were still evident on his face, "Joan, your sentence is not yet up, just chat with me here during this time, anyway, there is turmoil outside, maybe it is safer to stay here."

Joan stood up, "Avi, I know that my sister will not be able to avoid being involved in this dispute, since she is married to Viscount Polly, then this is her fate, I am relieved..."
"Really?"
"Still, I hope you can help me as much as you can, if Prince Bradley does achieve the final victory. ”
"Don't worry, I'll do my best!"
After Avi and Felisti left the prison, they walked in the direction of the Kestrel Academy, the gate of the Kestrel Academy was closed, and the guards who had been guarding the gate were removed and replaced by some students who volunteered to stay here. They told Avi and Felisty to enter through the side door on the east side, which led to the back of the Kestrel Academy.
The vice president of the Kestrel Academy was checking on the students entering and exiting at the side door, and Avi and Felistie saw at a glance some of the students in the first class, most of them sitting on the ground with a cloth in a corner of the Kestrel Academy campus as if they were on an outing. The same is true for the other year rounds, who are listening to a speech by an older student.
"Although our Kestrel Academy does not have any power, we can win it in this great opportunity! Please join me in all my classmates to stick to our bottom line and protect our kingdom!"
Many of the young students were moved by the impassioned speech of this senior student, and they all stood up and shouted loudly, "Protect the kingdom! Hold the bottom line!", Avi and Felistie did not know the students standing on the stage, but the senior Jieke, who had been identified as the ghost of the academy, was standing next to this speaker, as if he was ready to appear as the next speaker.
"It's a bunch of students, and if their enthusiasm turns into motivation, it's going to be a problem. Felisty said to Avi as she listened to Jaco's shout.
"Now that the queen is in control of Mallot, what are these students going to do..."
"Didn't you hear Jaco, they wanted to go to the palace in droves and petition King Byron," Felisty pointed to Jaco, "and this is probably the plan of the Academy's ghosts, who are inciting the ignorant cadets to use them for their own ends." ”
Some of the academy teachers also stood at the podium, and their appreciative glances clearly showed that they also agreed with the proposal made by the senior students to let the representatives of the Kestrel Academy enter the palace and establish an official position, which would have a right to supervise the government and have the power to announce important matters to the people.
The proposal of the senior students of Jacot was echoed loudly by the majority of the students, who believed that the people of Mallott did not understand the current situation at all, and were disturbed and frightened by the ambiguity of the current situation. In order to dispel the anxiety and uneasiness of the masses, the representative of the Kestrel Academy can be the spokesperson who contacts the palace and the citizens, announcing and explaining all kinds of important matters to the outside world, and at the same time supervising the internal supervision of the affairs in the palace.
When Avi first heard Jaco's explanation from the other seniors, he didn't understand what kind of official position it was, anyway, it was a position that had never existed before in the Kingdom of Salins. However, no matter how Avi understood it, the students were already discussing the application of the students to represent them in the royal palace to meet King Byron and Queen Rosemund.
"If Head of House Dugore knew that his students were doing this troublesome stuff, he would have a headache. Felisti said in a nonchalant tone.
"But now that Mallotte has become panicked, the army is under martial law, the king does not show his face, the princes are expelled, and so on, it is no wonder that the students of the Kestrel Academy will find a way to change this situation, after all, they are the group of people who read the most and have the most potential. ”
"Let's go back, Miss Christine you want to see isn't here," Felistie leaned over and gestured to leave, "I don't want to make a fuss with these guys, these houses are most likely to be turned away by Queen Rosemund, they are a bit whimsical, and that kind of power is not yet in the hands of the students who can only speak." Avi and Felisty then returned to the Imperial Diplomat's residence, but neither Van nor the men sent by Stitch returned, and Avi explained the situation to Stitch and went back to his room to rest.
By the time Bignose Fan returned, it was already evening, and he told Stitch about all the mercenaries who were willing to accept the mercenary group, and most of the mercenaries who remained in the city did not realize that Queen Rosemund's control of Mallot.
"As long as the price is negotiated, they will protect us, even in the city where we live every day, it can become a battlefield in the next second. ”
The results that Van brought back made Stitch very satisfied, and most of the people Stitch sent to communicate with other countries received a positive response. With the exception of the diplomatic envoys of the Theoguna Empire and the Kingdom of Kose, who were reluctant to deal with Stitch, the other diplomatic envoys agreed to unite to apply for asylum against Queen Rosemund, and to gather important people and correspondence in case of an emergency.
It seemed as if the calm days had passed quickly, and no news came from the palace, and the official residence could not receive any news from outside Mallot, and the whole Mallot, as well as the entire imperial residence, had become a deep pool where stones could not be seen or heard. Stitch's response was based on the assumption that danger was in place, and a message in the middle of the night immediately brought all those who remained in Mallot to the brink of danger.
"It wasn't my intention to wake you up, but one of the princes has already done something. Stitch asked the Imperial diplomat to read the letter that had just arrived.
"Prince Bradley has just given an order to the entire kingdom of Salins," the diplomat paused, and coughed softly with one fist, "Prince Bradley claims that the kingdom's capital, Mallot, has lost control, and the current king Byron has been kidnapped by traitors, and the leader of the hijackers is none other than the current queen Rosemander!"
"Oh my God, Mallot's going to be attacked!" said one of the female officers, who dropped her cup on the ground.
And Prince Bradley also called on the other two princes, hoping that they could unite and launch an attack on Mallott to rescue the kidnapped King Byron. The diplomat put down the letter he had just received, and Van immediately snatched it, and Avi saw that the letter had Prince Bradley's seal on it.
Stitch went on to explain: "To put it simply, Prince Bradley has issued an order to all the people of the Kingdom of Salins to rescue King Byron, and if he does not accept it, he may be regarded by Prince Bradley as an accomplice to the traitor, and Bradley, as the eldest son of the royal family, does have the right to do so, and now it depends on how many people heed his call." ”
"But if you look at it from another angle, Prince Bradley may put himself in danger by tearing his face like this," Felistie curled her fingers into her long red hair, "Queen Rosemond can also issue an order against Prince Bradley, claiming that Prince Bradley is the one who usurped power, and she can even make a similar call in the name of King Byron." Now it seems that this move will only be a matter of time, and Prince Bradley has broken with Queen Rosemund. ”
Everyone was silent after hearing this, Prince Bradley, as the first prince to stand up, he had already done everything he could, and there was no way to tear his face with the queen. Everyone, including Avi, believed that the other two princes would give up the throne easily, let alone give up the throne to a baby who was still in the womb.
Stitch told everyone to go back to their rooms and rest, telling Avi not to panic even if they heard the sound of trebuchets attacking the city, which only showed that Prince Bradley was quick and ready to attack Mallotte from the start. Stitch's joke didn't make Avi sleep better, and since King Byron fell ill, Mallot's situation had taken a turn for the worse, and perhaps even the most pessimistic person didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Queen Rosemund, perhaps fearing that other princes would harm her children, or she had planned everything when she was pregnant, and she even had the support of several important ministers at the first time, otherwise she would not have been able to control everything in such a short time.
"If, according to the previous analysis, Prince Amsoil and Queen Rosemundre are in a group, then Prince Amsoil will definitely send troops to attack Prince Bradley, and a royal civil war is inevitable. Fan rested her head on her arm, and the windows in this room were bigger than the windows in Stitch's house, allowing for a starry night sky.
Avi then recalls the war between the East and West Oguna empires, which lasted months and displaced countless people, including Miranda. The key figures in that battle were the Virgin Gloria and the regent Shumo, and both himself and Fan became the assassins of the Saint Gloria, almost changing the outcome of the Battle of Doret, and this time the key figures in the succession battle were several princes and the sudden appearance of Queen Rosemund.
"Yes, it can't be avoided," Avi said to himself, "from the very beginning when I heard that King Byron was going to establish a prince, it should have been clear that there was no doubt about the dispute between the three heirs. ”
"Whether it's escaping Mallotte with the Spark Mercenary Regiment or being thrown into prison as a prisoner, it feels safer," Big Nose Fan let out a long yawn, the uncomfortable taste of being woken up in the middle of the night, "As long as that aristocratic imp doesn't get involved, but I think he definitely wants to do something, something he's wanted to do since he was sent as a hostage." ”
"Let's do our own thing, perhaps..."
"This time, don't bother me anymore, I'm sleepy. ”
