In the fields in the suburbs, when the wheat was golden,
Cavalrymen in shabby armor rode their horses,
They galloped through the dirt paths at the edge of the fields, kicking up clouds of dust. The farmers straightened their backs from the fields,
And took off their hats to salute them.
The dark clouds of war were blown away by the cool autumn wind.
The news that the allied forces of the three countries had withdrawn from the borders of Luster,
Was sent to the royal city of Bona at full speed. From Bona, through the courier station,
It was sent to all parts of Luster.
But the streets of Bona were still desolate,
And the homeless were still in groups.
Their faces were filled with anger.
Everyone was waiting.

In a mansion,
A circle of people sat around a round table.
"We can't wait!" On the right, a great noble sat in a chair,
He said word by word, "When he takes back his hand,
Concentrate on the inside, and then he'll be safe! "
He said to the people sitting in a row opposite him, "Do you want to live without freedom?"
Bard sat opposite him,
To the left of the round table,
He took a puff of tobacco,
He spat it out,
He glanced at them, "What good things are you? The peasants in your territory,
What good days do you have? "
The great noble sneered, "When the Emperor is secure,
He took away all our rights, and from then on he sat on the throne.
Imitating the East,
Will anyone have a good life? Don't look at him abolishing tariffs,
But these days, he dissolves the three-level council when he wants, raises taxes when he wants, sells monopolies when he wants, enriches his confidants who go in and out of the palace. When the time comes, won't Allen just have to say a word to seize your wealth? This is the abominable monarchy! "
On Bard's right, a young noble looked at Bard and said hopefully, "Chief …"
Another noble said, "We are different from the die-hard royal party. If we work together, and the power belongs to the parliament, not the royal family, then we are willing to draw up the terms and maintain the status quo of abolishing tariffs. And the power belongs to the parliament, and you will rule with us. At that time, even if you don't trust us, we can't easily abolish the terms. "
In the eyes of the crowd, Bard put down his cigarette, "It seems that we have the same goal for now. You also know the charm of freedom. Its charm is being restrained and dispersed, and it is no longer monopolizing power. "
The nobles on the right side of the round table were delighted. Both parties stood up and shook hands.
The great aristocrat said, "We can provide money and manpower, but it's best if we don't use violence. His Majesty is an open-minded person. We can discuss this with him first. When violence erupts, it's easy to injure the innocent, just like the banquet rebellion … the banquet revolution. "
"Sure."
After leaving the venue, Bard asked the young man beside him, "Is Eugene back yet?"
"He's back. After all, he is loyal to our cause, Chief. "

"I can't wait."
In the royal palace's meeting hall, the ministers all knelt on the ground. Allan I said in a deep voice, "They are ready to make a move."
He called the military minister, "Leave the capital secretly at once and mobilize the troops stationed near Bona. The soldiers of the nobles who support the royal family will also be temporarily borrowed. Be prepared to move out at any time. "
He also instructed the officers of the Public Security Bureau, "These people are best at stirring up people's hearts. Pay attention to the unusual movements on the streets at all times. If something is wrong, you can arrest them directly without waiting for my approval."
After making the arrangements one by one, he finally looked at Hathaway, "What about Eugene? Is he back? "
Hathaway replied, "Eugene has secretly returned in advance as per your instructions."
Allen nodded, "Send someone to tell him to hold back for now."
"I'm willing to give them one last chance."

In November, the 600 representatives of the third level and the 300 representatives of the second level jointly signed a love letter, requesting the emperor to convene another meeting of the third level: the people wanted to express their wishes to him.
Allan I agreed.
