The war is over.

The civil strife in the Kingdom of Salins, which lasted less than a month, was indeed over, and apart from the battle outside of Mallot, there were only a few regional confrontations and skirmishes, but this was enough to affect the entire Kingdom of Salins. As soon as Avi and Felistie entered the Grand Prince's tent, they heard Eggsie, who had returned from Mallot, report that Prince Walter had made contact with the Queen's men. Now Queen Rosemund, who has used the king's dictation, "invited" Bradley and Winrith to enter the city to negotiate.

"Your Royal Highness, the people sent by the Queen seem to be sincere, and they have not forbade us to bring troops into the city. "Eggsy is dusty, and Avi wants to hear from the other party the most.

Fenrir analyzed: "The queen's faction, which had such a firm stance at the beginning, changed its attitude because of Walter's appearance?

"The situation of King Byron is not clear, but if His Royal Highness does not dare to enter Mallot, it will be tantamount to sending with the Queen... Even Prince Walter really broke up. ”

"I've broken up since the call to deal with the Queen's faction!

Bradley was the only one sitting, he still looked a little weak, "Brother Wang has the ability to settle this dispute, and besides, he didn't bring any soldiers into the city, did he?" his army is still east of the Winlith barracks, we just need to prepare what we should do to enter the city." ”

Fenrir and the others nodded their heads, neither the call of the eldest prince nor the queen's faction could make the lords and nobles of the rest of the kingdom declare their position. The noblelords of the Kingdom of Salins did not have as much autonomy as the empire or the principalities, but the nobles of the frontier had both a strong army and a vast land, and the nobles of the frontier did not take a stand on the disputes that took place around the capital.

After listening to everyone's speeches, Avi also agreed with Bradley's intention in his heart. Instead of hoarding troops outside Mallotte and causing criticism, it is better to take the initiative to enter the city and face the contradictions with the queen's faction, which is a favorable choice to break the deadlock.

"Eggsie, how are things going with Van and Sango?"

"Back to His Highness, Heck has promised to release the two, but the other party has not explained anything about the sneak attack team disguised as the Spark Mercenary Regiment. ”

Bradley looked at Avi, who was a little at ease, "Avi, you are my knight from today onwards, I will announce this to the others when I enter the city later, don't worry about what Heck will do against you." ”

"I see. ”

Bradley then made detailed arrangements that the new Knights of the Iron Wall would protect Bradley into the city, and Fenrir would be sent to the Marquis of Roberto to invite them into the city with him. Gadia sits in the barracks to prepare for changes that may arise at any time. Avi and Felisty follow the prince, and Avi's first mission as a knight is to protect Bradley into the city to meet the Queen's faction.

The new Knights of the Iron Wall obviously evolved from the former Knights of the Iron Wall, the original Knights of the Iron Wall have been disbanded for many years, and Faulkner, one of the "Kingdom Twin Horsemen", has never appeared in public, and Avi has only met each other by chance when he was in prison, and even the other party's face cannot be seen clearly. However, Avi believes that the New Knights of the Iron Wall must have something to do with Faulkner, who should have sided with Prince Bradley when he first expressed his expectations in prison.

"You ask our captain?" Eggesy rode a bell-laden horse at the front, "The position of head of our new Knights of the Iron Wall is still vacant, but there are already several squadron leaders, including me. ”

"Why is the position of head of the regiment vacant?"

Eggsy rolled his eyes, "I can't answer you for this reason, this is the situation of our Knights, we were founded after Prince Bradley returned to Mallotte from the west, and our mission is to protect Prince Bradley. ”

Avi saw that Eggsy began to talk about other unimportant things, and he didn't ask any more. After all, even the recently formed knights have gained the trust of the eldest prince, and their status is not comparable to that of a newcomer like himself.

The new Knights of the Iron Wall who followed Prince Bradley into the city had nearly a thousand men, most of them were ordinary cavalry, but there were also a few knights who looked older. However, none of them held high the banners of the New Knights of the Iron Wall, as if they had been left in the barracks and not brought out.

"Actually, we should choose to wait and see what happens in the barracks," Felistie said, also on horseback, looking at the streets of Mallot, which were still very deserted, and the sight of the people welcoming the return of the two princes can only be remembered, "If the negotiations are dangerous, you can protect yourself." ”

Avi sighed, "I'm already a knight of the Great Prince, and since His Royal Highness the Prince has asked me to follow by my side, then I should..."

"But that's just a title, you don't have the armor of a knight, you don't have a knight's lance, and the situation is still unclear, maybe it's just a trap set by Walter and the Queen's faction. ”

"No," Avi immediately frowned, Philisty's words always made him waver, "Didn't you say that Prince Amsoil and the Queen's faction colluded with each other? Wouldn't Prince Bradley become the target of everyone?!"

"Stupid, because you're stupid, you can't understand such simple things. Bradley has never been favored by King Byron and Queen Rosemund, and whoever becomes the last prince will make King Byron happy!"

Felisti's words sent a chill down Avi's heart, and although they were straightforward and cold, King Byron did say that he didn't like Bradley as the eldest son. Prince Bradley, who successfully completed the test given by the king, was not treated fairly, but had to use his own strength to maintain his position, which was really eccentric.

In order to show the sincerity of the queen's faction, Gronorst intended to build a temporary council hall in the square in front of the palace, and the area that was blocked from the sun became the meeting place of the three parties.

Avi followed closely behind Prince Bradley, who no longer needed to be supported by others, but he was still a little unsteady on his feet, and Princess Winlith, who appeared at the same time, saw at a glance that Bradley was not in good health, and she walked over quickly to ask her brother about the situation.

The queen's faction sent two important figures, Heck and Gronos, one in the main and the other in the main place, who stood up as soon as Queen Rosemund's expulsion of the three princes in the name of the king, and they were obviously not trustworthy objects. On Walter's side were a handful of nobles and Count Feremon in Mallot, and Avi had heard that Count Feremon's territory was close to the Ces Mud District, and although the Count himself did not have many troops, his mother's lineage could be traced back to a certain Feremiz royal family in the Kingdom of Salins, so he also had a certain prestige in the eastern part of the kingdom.

Eggsy stood silently in the distance like Avi, and Felistie stood behind Avi, an occasion where they were not suitable to be too close to the main negotiators, but Eggsy had prepared nearly a thousand of his Knights' men to deal with the mutation. Avi also saw Sunflower and Jaco standing not far from the table, both holding notebooks and brushes, and of course they noticed Avi and Felisty, but instead of paying attention to this side, they looked at the people around the table intently like a civil servant recording the contents of the meeting.

Gronos's voice was the first to reach Avi's ears from a few meters away, "I have the privilege of meeting with three royal families today, and please allow me to participate in this meeting on behalf of King Byron and Queen Rosemund. ”

Prince Walter waved his hand, "My father is sick, and my mother has just given birth to a younger brother, and they all need to recuperate, so it's good to leave this troublesome matter to our vassals." ”

Heck immediately praised: "Prince Walter is really filial and courteous, and the queen once said that as long as Prince Walter is here, this meeting will definitely be very pleasant!"

"There's no need to say kind words, just get straight to the point," said Princess Winlith impatiently, "I have the same attitude as Bradley, and we intend to make it clear to my face about Amsol, the Queen's faction turning us away from the city, and my father's health!

The words of the eldest princess made everyone sitting at the table look embarrassed, and even the Marquis Roberto, who had only arrived at the end, muttered a few words to himself, and he didn't know whether he was agreeing with Wen Lisi's directness or disgust.

"Since Princess Winlith has said so, let's start with Prince Amso. ”

Avi heard the opinion of the president's collar Gronos, and the commander of the capital, who looked like a black and oily melon skin on his head, was the first to denounce the second prince, Amsol. He claimed that Ammekh's army had not been approved by King Byron, and that the unauthorized movement of so many troops was intended to rebel. King Byron and Queen Rosemunda had decided on the punishment to be given to Amsul, including stripping him of his position as prince and not allowing him to enter Mallot.

Walter also agreed, but his tone was much softer, as if he shared the responsibility of Amsoil a little, claiming that it was because he did not communicate well with Amsoil that the second brother chose to act in an extreme way.

"Amsoil is sick and dead. Winlith recounted Bradley's earlier announcement, though the others apparently didn't believe it.

"Brother Amber has always been in good health, but he died of a sudden illness or something... Maybe you can only convince me..."

Contrary to Walter's innocent face, Heck first glanced at Avi, and then directly denied Winlith's statement, "I have information that Prince Amsoil has not died of illness, and he has been sent to the west of the kingdom, that is, the territory of His Royal Highness the Grand Prince... Since we are negotiating for the future of the kingdom, I think we should be honest with each other. ”

"Honest with each other!?Father has disappeared for dozens of days!I still don't know my father's life and death!Even if you are honest with each other!?" Princess Winlith slapped her palm on the makeshift long table, and all the teacups were knocked over by the violent vibration, which also made the good atmosphere that Walter had worked so hard to create disappear without a trace in an instant.
