The Student Revolt

Revolution

Four months after the students return, 4 of the original 12 students that went to Rhocenza to write the Campagna Report commit treason and abduct two professors from the Ustanan Academy, sailing back to Rhocenza under cover of night and giving their professors and themselves to Jilixia - who accepts the students' bid to enter her service and their professors as gifts.   However, when Ustana calls for their return, Jilixia returns the whipped, burned, and beaten professors to Ustana who, while intact, retire not long after their return and name their daughters as successors to their teaching positions, much to the astonishment of the Ustanan people who suspect Jilixia's hand in these matters.   The four students who commited the betrayal are made permanent citizens of Rhocenza, and are later seen serving her as her personal whipping-boys as reward for their actions.
