Demps's wild laughter attracted the jailers on the floor as well, and Avi and the others couldn't squeeze out a smile like Demps, and the chaos of losing the king was not what they wanted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Many years ago, when I was a knight, I vowed to help the king of the kingdom of Sallins distinguish between right and wrong, and become a knight loyal to the king and the kingdom," Demps stopped laughing, and the two jailers walked away, "but the Father sent a foolish and ignorant king to the kingdom of Salins! Byron is the only son of the previous king, and I have been serving the Knights of the Snake Spear for many years when he was still in the moon, and now his ending confirms my original opinion, he will definitely be planted in the hands of women!" ”

Avi and Felisty were both taken aback, "Captain Demps, do you know that the young Queen Rosemund's power is already in the hands of Mallot?"

"I don't know, but that woman's ambition is written on her face, this kind of beautiful but femme fatale woman likes to stick to the brainless powerful the most, and Byron is the most brainless one. He didn't learn the lesson of Prince Amsol's mother, and even married a new queen in his old age, which is good, and Heavenly Father will give him some retribution..."

Demps is obviously a follower of the Illuminati, and Avi doesn't know who he is talking about "Mother Amsoe", but since Prince Amsoil is an illegitimate child, his mother is certainly not the aristocratic woman that Ming Media is marrying. If the rumors are true, then King Byron, who also believes in the Cult of Light, should indeed be punished for his marital infidelity, but he did not expect that this punishment would affect the entire kingdom.

Joan sat cross-legged on the floor, propping his fist on his cheek, "Captain Demps, even if King Byron has failed some women, that shouldn't be a reason for you to hate King Byron... You haven't told me why you escaped from Mallote with the Knights of the Snake Lance, because of the false accusations of the other noble ministers?"

"The person who most wants to eradicate the Knights of the Snake Lance and the Knights of the Iron Wall is none other than Byron himself. Demps's hands were already outstretched, gripped the bars as if he were holding a greatsword, trying to slay the demon in front of him.

It was only when Demps continued to tell Joan about the past that Avi realized the wrongs suffered by the Knights of the Snake Spear and the Knights of the Iron Wall. The two knights, as the "Twin Horsemen of the Kingdom", will not lose their mission because of the change of king, and they have only one purpose, to protect the royal family in the capital.

At that time, King Byron had just taken over the throne of the "Thunderbolt King", and the power of the Kingdom of Salins was at its peak after many years of recuperation, with no war or internal strife. Byron was quite old when he became king and wore the crown, and he was a completely different person from the "Thunderbolt King", who would only be close to the aristocratic ministers who knew how to flatter and did not say anything from their mouths. Military knight captains like Faulkner and Demps can't win Byron's liking at all, although they are not disgusted, but Byron will put more responsibilities in the hands of others, even if the other party is just a Heck who is in charge of intelligence work, or Dugol, the head of the Kestrel Academy who is very bookish and has little practical ability, is more trusted than Demps.

Demps and Faulkner became "orphans" in Mallotne, and Faulkner's younger brother Evan often put all his rest time in the White Orphanage, where he spent his free time with the orphans. Such an imbalance made Demps and other pragmatic and upright ministers feel cold and disappointed, and many ministers who followed the "Thunderbolt King" to fight in all directions have returned to their hometowns. The "kingdom twins" who were despised because of the loss of power of the regimental commander also became dispensable, especially in the extremely moderate and gentle foreign policy of King Byron, who was as gentle as a sheep, and the kingdom of Salins, which was originally very much admired for soldiers, began to change. More people chose to do business instead of joining the army, choosing to learn the craft rather than learning swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and the knights whose mission was to protect the royal family also became idle soldiers who only appeared on the school grounds because King Byron never left the palace for half a step.

Both Demps and Faulkner could not accept such an ending, and they were not willing to leave the Knights of the Snake Spear and the Knights of the Iron Wall, who had already worked so hard.

"It wasn't until later that King Byron was found to have had an illegitimate child, and the stain was magnified enough to be used to balance Byron," Demps gradually let go of his hands, "Some ministers with ulterior motives united with the nobles of the queen's family, intending to weaken Byron's power, and at the same time install young nobles in Mallot, who were interested in expanding the territory of the kingdom of Salins. Unexpectedly, the plan that should have gone smoothly fell through due to the sudden death of the queen, and Heck, who is now also the Minister of Intelligence, immediately arrested all the people involved, most of whom were members of the queen's family. ”

Once again, Avi heard that there was nothing in the history books of the Kingdom of Salins, and that these sensitive pasts had never been written down on paper by the historians who recorded history, and perhaps they would remember them, but it was difficult for those who came after them to know these things.

"The late queen's family has been completely wiped out, most of those implicated have been punished, and Chief Demps, who is particularly close to Faulkner, has not been able to clear his name. Joan added.

"No, in fact, this matter has nothing to do with Faulkner, the Faulkner I know will never betray the royal family of the Kingdom of Sahlins, and the reason why he was judged to be a rebel is because of what he said for those people. ”

"A word?" Avi was asking the question, and Felisty suddenly turned her head and looked at the dark prison passage.

"The kingdom is my home, no one can hurt it in front of me, and I will never allow anyone to lead this home into decline!" a deep voice came from behind Avi.

"You're here, I thought I wouldn't have a chance to see you, Faulkner. Temples grinned and laughed. Avi and Joan both looked into the distance of the passage, and since there was no fire, they couldn't see Faulkner, the head of the Knights of the Iron Wall, standing there. Instead, Felistie had turned back, as if she had seen Faulkner's face clearly.

"I didn't expect that one of my heartfelt words would become the source of the fire scourge on you, Demps, you also know very well that the so-called rebellion has nothing to do with you, and you have been accused of 'accomplice' for me to stand out, and it feels very uncomfortable to be forced to fall into the grass, right?"

"Hahaha, what's so uncomfortable? I'm the one who fled Mallot, and you're here to lose your dignity, to protect your subordinates, to face the criticism of the waste and the trash, and yet to endure it all the time... I can't even fully understand it. ”

Avi had leaned against the wall, and now the people standing on either side of him were the "Kingdom Riders" of the Kingdom of Sarins - two elderly former captains of the Order, two misunderstood soldiers who were both hostile to King Byron.

"There is no need to talk about the past. ”

From this moment on, those wronged things will only remain in my stomach, and I will stay with me until my bones are rotten, and I will not mention a word!"

Faulkner was silent for a moment, "I came back to Mallote because of a man worthy of service, a man worthy of me getting back to riding a gun." ”

"Of course I know that if you, a good teacher, suddenly gave up his peaceful life and left his hometown, I knew that you must have other plans," Demps closed his eyes, and Avi saw that there were as many wrinkles on his face as there were tiny scars, "Tell me, which prince are you rooting for?"

"Can you guess why I'm in prison?" Faulkner didn't answer Demps's question.

"Come and visit me? No, that's not your style. ”

"I'm here to let you go. ”

"Hahahaha, it's easy for me to get out of here, and besides, someone agreed with me that person will bring back the prosperity I want to see in front of me, so I don't need to leave here now, and when I can see that scene, I will naturally come out. ”

Joan wanted to interject and say something, but he held back, after all, it takes a lot of courage to interject in front of such a big person.

"Captain Faulkner!" Avi wanted to say when he heard "someone worthy of service", "Captain Faulkner, you are on Prince Bradley's side, right? If you can, I hope that both of you can support Prince Bradley and help him end this dispute as soon as possible!"

Avi didn't think about how much courage it took to speak in front of the big guys, his life at the Kestrel Academy was completely changed by King Byron's sudden illness, his future was in the hands of the three princes and queens, and if there was anything Avi could do, it was to firmly choose someone worthy of his trust and give him as much help as possible.

Neither Demps nor Faulkner expected anyone to interject, and Faulkner responded, "What's your name, kid?"

"My name is Avi and I'm a student of the Kestrel Academy. ”

"Is your candidate for Prince Bradley, or are you a follower of Prince Bradley?"

"I... Prince Bradley has been kind to me, and the eldest prince is a man of integrity, a man of great talent, and I would like to see him put things in order. ”

Demps laughed again, but he didn't say anything to Avi, but Felistie gently pulled Avi's sleeve as the red-haired girl looked in Faulkner's direction.

"Since you believe in Prince Bradley, then be firm in your beliefs, stay true to your heart, and have a clear direction to focus on... Today's younger generation is mostly confused and restless, they don't know what they want, but they turn a blind eye to their responsibilities and abandon them. ”

Demps laughed even louder, and Demps was the only one present who knew who Faulkner was referring to by young people.

"He's gone," Felistie said, gesturing to the other side of the passage, "and those who walk lightly will hear lighter footsteps." ”
