The news of Joan's sentence of six months' imprisonment reached Avi's ears, and it was Rost who told Avi during a recess, "He should have been sentenced to three years in prison based on the value of the items he and his father had stolen, but he also offset some of the guilt because of some credit."

"Was it because he saved me?"

"Not exactly, mainly because he also killed a guy from the Oguna Empire, King Byron attaches great importance to the reputation of the Kingdom of Sarins, and Joan, as a young student from the Kestrel Academy, can work with you to solve the judges, knights and mercenaries, such a thing makes King Byron very face-saving, and our country can also hold the East Oguna Empire accountable, so King Byron deliberately let Joan be lightly punished. Rost's eyes were gentle, the polite history teacher seemed kind and harmless, and Avi couldn't understand why he would risk his life to help Koth escape from Mallot.

"Then I could... Are you visiting Joan in prison?"

"Of course, the head of the house, Dugol, made it clear that as long as Joan changes his mind and reflects on his mistakes, he will have a chance to be retained by the Kestrel Academy. What John needs most now is a friend, after all, he has lost his father and the bakery..."

Avi recalls the bakery where John and his father worked, which was frequented by many people, but he chose to become a burglar with his father, "What about the rest of his family?"

Rost opened his notebook, looked at it a few times, and said, "His mother remarried, and he has a younger sister, but he also left with his mother." ”

Avi came to Mallot's prison alone after school, and now Avi is known to many people. A captain of the guards standing in front of the prison gate recognized the "traitor to the Empire" at a glance, and instead of taunting Avi, he praised Avi's choice to renounce his status as an Empire.

"The Kingdom of Sahlins will eventually unify the continent, and the division of the Oguna Empire is a harbinger," the captain of the guard patted Avi on the shoulder, he noticed the white lion sword on Avi's waist, "Avi, your name will definitely be recorded in the history of the Kingdom of Salins, because you are the first man to choose to give up your imperial identity and join the Kingdom of Sarins, and you have also won the favor of the Great Prince!" The other prison guards also walked over, and they looked at the long sword that the Great Prince's personal guard was for, it was not a good thing that a jailer could have.

Avi paid a gold coin and was taken by the guards to Joan's cell, where he was lying on a stone bed covered with grass, his upper body covered in a thick old quilt, and his feet were stretched out of the bed, shivering with cold.

"Joan, I've come to see you. Avi brought a special roast lamb with "hot and sour blackberries", and as soon as he lifted the paper wrapped in the roast lamb, the special aroma overflowed, causing many of the other inmates in the cell to climb to the iron bars to look.

Joan also smelled the aroma of meat, he peeked out of the old quilt, and when he saw clearly that it was Avi standing outside the cell, he immediately jumped up, "You... You're still alive??"

Avi put the roast lamb in the cell, and he touched his abdomen, "To be alive is to be alive, but there are more scars on my body." ”

Joan stood by the iron bar, he didn't look at the roast lamb, but looked at Avi, "I thought you were dead, I didn't expect you to be alive..."

"You... You don't think I'm a lackey of the aristocracy anymore?"

Hearing this, John hesitated, he picked up the roast mutton, lowered his head, and replied while eating: "Actually, I knew a long time ago that you were not a lackey of the nobles, but at that time I was too face-saving, and I didn't want to take back what I said at the beginning... And you're better than me, and you've been appreciated by the eldest prince, these things are unacceptable to me, so..."

Avi sat down outside the cell, not caring in the slightest about his pants getting dirty, "So what?"

"So until now, I've lost everything and found out..."Joan looked up, his thick eyebrows, big eyes, and healthy complexion showing a sincere gaze, "I should apologize to you, Avi, really..."

Avi interrupted with a wave of his hand, "Those things are over, and I'm here to bring you good news." The head of the house has told me that if you can reflect on your mistakes here, you will have the opportunity to return to the Kestrel Academy in half a year. ”

Joan's tears were already in his eyes, but he wiped them away with his arm, "I know! I will definitely review my mistakes here, and when I lost my father, I realized that it was my own selfishness in exchange for punishment, and I blamed myself for all this..."

Avi recalled the appearance of the other party in the underground casino, Joan must have something unspeakable, right?

Just when Avi was hesitating, Joan suddenly asked, "Avi, I want to ask, is the second prince Ansu canonized as the prince of the kingdom?"

"Well, that's right, the second prince was officially canonized as a prince last week, and it was King Byron's personal decision. ”

Joan stared blankly at the remaining half of the roast mutton, "Avi, do you think the second prince Ansu will really be able to ascend the throne?"

"Hmm... I'm not sure, but personally, I hope the eldest prince will become the prince..."Avi didn't hide his true thoughts.

"Actually, like you, I want the eldest prince to be the prince," Joan put the half of the roast lamb on the side of the bed, and then sat down on the edge of the iron railing, "because only the eldest prince becomes the prince, and the others who have the opportunity to become the heir may be convinced, if the second prince or the third prince becomes the prince, the eldest prince will definitely not give up the throne that should have been inherited by the eldest son so easily." ”

Avi nodded, and the troops that moved from the eldest prince's territory to Mallot's one after another explained this, "Yes, now that the battle for succession in the kingdom has entered a white heat, King Byron took advantage of the gap between the eldest prince leaving the capital to meet the third prince and suddenly made this decision, it was like adding fuel to the fire, and even different voices appeared in the Kestrel Academy, and the classmates in a class also showed discord because of the different objects of support..."

The fact that each prince has a supporter is the biggest problem in the kingdom of Sarins right now, which can be felt in Avi's life. In each mock vote, Rost reminded all the students that whoever was made the prince would disagree, and that the kingdom of Sallins would be drawn into a vortex of succession to the throne, a vortex of division that everyone foresaw.

"Avi, do you think there will be a battle between the second prince and the eldest prince?" said Joan after a long silence.

Avi thought for a moment and replied in a low voice, "Maybe yes." ”

"If that's the case... Avi, I want to ask you for one thing. ”

"You say?"

"If you can, try to protect my sister. ”

Avi was stunned, "Your sister?"

Joan sighed, and he told Avi about the distress he had been buried in his heart. It turned out that John had witnessed the divorce of his parents when he was a child, and his mother was very beautiful, so she chose to leave John's father when John was four years old, threw herself into the arms of a nobleman, and became the mistress of that nobleman. Even though he was nameless and dispensing, Joan's mother still abandoned Joan's father and son, and lived a life of fine clothes and food as she wished. At that time, John didn't understand his mother's choice, he just remembered his father, who cried alone every night, and the smell of flour stained with tears. From that time on, John held a strong grudge against the powerful, believing that power and money were the main culprits in destroying his family.

Later, Joan's mother sent for a baby, which was the daughter of Joan's mother and the nobleman. Because the nobleman's original partner was very jealous, the nobleman had to send the baby to Joan's father (Joan's mother claimed that Joan's father was her brother) to support him, so as not to be poisoned and killed by the nobleman's original partner.

Joan, who has a half-sister, does not transfer his resentment to his sister, but cherishes his sister very much. From that time on, John worked very hard, constantly learning how to bake bread, helping his father to run the bakery, which made the bread he baked famous. Joan hopes that with his own efforts, he can make his sister live a good life, no longer be looked down upon, and no longer have to take refuge in the nobility for money and power.

But things weren't as John had hoped. When her sister was fourteen years old, Joan's mother, who had already begun to grow old and decrepit, found that her daughter was also very good-looking, so she moved her daughter's idea to raise her into a woman like her, who could hook the hearts of nobles.

"My sister is not a bad person, but I really don't want her to be like my mother, who has been parasitic on those powerful people and lost the dignity that a person deserves. Joan kept his head down and told Avi his story.

"So you asked for those thousand gold coins to give her a good life?"

"My sister will be married next month to Prince Amsoon's henchman, Viscount Polly of Fractured City. Viscount Polly's original partner died of illness, so my mother did not let go of this opportunity easily, and she proposed to the nobleman to marry her sister, but the nobleman asked my mother to find a way to arrange the dowry herself. My mother tried her best to raise money, but she still needed at least a thousand gold coins..."

Avi finally understood what Yoann was carrying, and he gave unconditionally for his sister, even if it was to go into the underground casino and fight for his poor luck.

"Your sister, she..."

"She's innocent, and she's involuntarily, blame me for not doing it! I can't give them the power..."Joan hammered the ground hard, "I know that I can't stop my mother from marrying off her sister, even if she wants her to sell everything, with the cheapest and least dowry, my sister will marry Viscount Polly, but I also know that if my sister really marries Viscount Polly, she will become a member of the second prince's faction, and she will also be involved in the dispute of the heir." ”

Avi turned around and saw that Joan was looking at her, too.

"Avi, I know that the eldest prince appreciates you, and if the eldest prince wins this battle for the prince, I hope you can say a few kind words in front of the eldest prince and let my sister be spared punishment..."
