The Day of the Flag Seizing.
This is how the border town's residents refer to yesterday's chaos.
But mention it, and excitement scorches every face.
Because they are victors.
The Imperial soldiers in the City Hall, most of them were caught right on the spot while a handful managed to escape into the wilderness.
They are now being hunted down by the law enforcement of the border town.
The most unlucky are perhaps the criminals of the border prison.
Since their release by the Imperial soldiers and the resulting atrocities they committed, the border town court has extended their sentences to ten years or life.
The more serious offenders, along with some accused Imperial soldiers, were summarily executed on the spot.
The border prison, which had just been recaptured, immediately welcomed new inmates.
Meanwhile, the teachers and students who had been left in the prison were returned to their families, offering some comfort.
