As we all know, the Royal Knights are the knights directly affiliated with the Saint Solan royal family and are the most loyal and elite armed force in Edward's hands.
There are a total of twelve battalions in this knightly order, and each battalion has a different organization and responsibilities.
The most elite are the first and second battalions. Both battalions have more than 200 glory knights. Among them, there are dozens of great bright knights and even strong men from the holy realm. Their duty is to guard the palace. With them
In China, Huangquan Mountain is the strongest fortress.
The third, fourth and fifth battalions guarding the imperial capital are the most powerful. Each battalion has more than 10,000 people. The total size of the three battalions accounts for the entire Royal Knights, including
Half of the more than 70,000 people including civilian and support staff.
As for the other battalions, they are responsible for public security, inspections, and garrison work at several important passes around the imperial capital.
The only exception was the 6th Battalion.
In the imperial capital, the Sixth Battalion of the Royal Knights has always been a special existence.
More than a hundred years ago, when Solan founded the country, there were actually only five battalions of the Royal Knights. It was not until the second year after the founding of the country that the sixth battalion was established. The purpose of establishing this battalion was not to fight, but to fight.
For a reason that is not worth showing off - the royal family needs an honor guard.
Because of this, even if it later expanded to nearly 3,000 men, the Sixth Battalion's position in the Royal Knights was still very embarrassing. When calculating the strength of the Royal Knights, everyone would only count eleven battalions. And in previous battles
, whether it is external or internal, this battalion has never had any military exploits.
Among the Royal Knights, the sixth camp has the lowest status and is just a decoration. People also nicknamed it the Vase Knight Camp because of their beautiful ceremonial uniforms.
Since Edward I ascended the throne more than ten years ago, this emperor who did not pay much attention to pomp and circumstance once ordered the reform of the Sixth Battalion. In addition to retaining an honor guard of 300 people to take into account the dignity of the royal family, other knights of the Sixth Battalion
Then assigned to perform the task of protecting the royal family members when traveling.
Two years ago, after Alessia was in danger in the south, Edward I, out of his father's love for his daughter, simply placed the Sixth Battalion under Alesia's command. In addition to its name and organization, the Sixth Battalion also belonged to the royal family.
Outside of the Knights, in fact, this battalion has become the princess's private army.
Susan knew that Alessia had absolute control over the Sixth Battalion. But she didn't expect that Alessia would give the Sixth Battalion to Roy.
This is more than just helping him torment, it is simply helping him to turn the world upside down!
You know, no matter how vase they are, they are still royal knights. With their identity and status, most of the little lords can respect them casually.
Susan didn't know how big the town named Bandez that Roy bought was, but she knew that with such an army stationed in Bandez, that town would be the most wealthy in the Solan Empire.
Small town. Let alone the rural lords on the border of the empire, even the princes and ministers do not receive such treatment.
She stared straight at Aleshia for a long time, then she groaned and was defeated.
What she saw in Alessia's clear eyes was a decision that was not considered well thought out, but was calm and would never be changed.
It was late at night, and Susan covered Alesia with a quilt, blew out the candles, opened the door, and prepared to leave.
Amidst the creaking of the door, Aleshia's crystal eyes stared at the ceiling.
The moonlight is like water, shining in front of the bed.
"Susan..." Alessia's voice seemed a little cold in the ethereal moonlight, "Do you think I'm too willful?"
"Today?" Susan smiled and said, "A little bit."
From the time Aleshia secretly ran out with Roy, drank and fought, to her decision to let Roy go to Bandez, and even gave him the sixth battalion of the Royal Knights... this made Susan feel that she was more than just a
Being willful is simply crazy.
"We are going back tomorrow, right?" Alessia said.
Susan was silent for a while and nodded.
She and Alessia secretly followed Abraham to Lulian. The reason why they came secretly was not because they wanted to avoid Edward I, but because they wanted to avoid the Temple of the Holy Lady.
Nowadays, no matter where Alessia goes, even if she returns to the palace, the Holy Lady Temple will send people to follow her. On the surface, it is for protection, but in fact everyone knows that those senior figures of the Holy Lady Temple who are leaning towards the Langris family,
Alicia will never be allowed to escape their control.
Unless Alessia betrays the Holy Maiden Temple, or Edward declares war with the Holy Maiden Temple, otherwise, Alessia, a disciple of the Holy Maiden Temple, must act in accordance with their wishes.
Of course, they are not forcing Alessia to do anything now. They just ensure that she can't do anything.
The biggest reason why Alessia joined the Holy Lady Palace in the first place was because the royal family was in a difficult situation. As a princess, she had to make sacrifices in exchange for the Holy Lady Palace's support for the Solan royal family.
In fact, Edward I did rely on this to resist the double pressure of the Holy See and Donald and regain his imperial power. In addition, Alessia's master and many other people in the Saint's Palace treated her well, so
, there is no way she would do anything to betray the Holy Lady Temple.
Besides, apart from anything else, joining the Holy Lady Temple is her commitment.
As a noble, her upbringing would not allow her to choose betrayal.
This also means that if you don’t want those saints who have lost traces of Alesia to come to Lulian, and if you don’t want the Saints’ Temple to be turned upside down because of this incident, then Alesia had better return as soon as possible.
To the imperial capital.
Susan is the one who knows the situation best, and therefore, she feels it more than anyone else.
At this moment, Alexia, who was lying quietly on the bed, was like a canary about to fly into the birdcage. For her, this short period of freedom and willfulness was almost over.
In the silence, Alessia suddenly laughed.
She grabbed the edge of the quilt with both hands and covered her nose, leaving only her shining eyes exposed.
"Susan, I'm very happy today."
"I feel like a cicada. It has been buried in the soil for so long and finally takes flight."
She turned her head and smiled at Susan.
"Good night."
"Good night." Susan said softly, walked out of the room and closed the door.
When the door closed, she leaned against the corridor wall and felt her nose suddenly sore.
Aleshia just lived a free day, went to the parade, drank, and got into a fight. This kind of day, which is ordinary for ordinary people, is already a part of life for her.
The happiest time in my life.
Yes, she is a cicada.
The kind of little insect that is buried in the dark soil for three, five, or even seventeen years before it finally gets the last short period of freedom in its life.
Susan covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.
