The Nobles' Weak Protest

Benjamin returned home after his morning training.

It did not take him long to learn about some events that took place that very morning.

Over thirty noble households marched towards St. Peter’s Cathedral today to seek explanation for the way the Holy Knights treated their children in the ball. Dean’s prediction was right; the nobles would stage a protest.

It was unfortunate for the nobles that the church’s response was swift. Before they could even gather, they were chased away by more than 10 Holy Knights.

The nobles did not give up without a fight though. After they were chased away, they went and sat in silent protest at the entrance of the castle after some discussions. They were still there, unmoved even after Benjamin finished his lunch in the Lithur Manor.

If there was more people present, Benjamin heavily suspected that they would start a demonstration.
