Your Highness? Well, in a strict sense, the so-called royal nobles can actually be addressed as Your Highness. The Dawn Dynasty has been in power for more than two thousand years, even if we don’t count those Lusers who have been reduced to the civil class.
There are tens of thousands.
However, generally speaking, even if you are born into the royal family, if you are just a Viscount Baron or even from a lower title such as knight, you should be embarrassed to call yourself "Your Highness".
In short, according to the conventions of the imperial aristocratic society, those who can be called "Your Highness" in ceremonial occasions should be those core members of the royal family who are marquis or above. As long as they reach adulthood, they can definitely hold a position in the Senate.
For example, for example, Marquis Suno gave him a limited-edition figure, and Duke Androtier gave him his first fortune. As a result, the total number of people suddenly dropped to only about two hundred people.
.
However, on such a normal occasion, who else could an ordinary officer call "Your Highness" besides one of the eight elected emperors?
Okay, let's estimate the situation of selecting emperors. These are all vassal kings with territories, armies and their own officials. They are completely the heads of a medium-sized country, so their whereabouts are naturally not a secret. In short, there are two
Having aged and basically faded out of central politics, he is concentrating on running the camp. As for the remaining few, the Tamil King, who is best at diplomatic relations and blending relations, is in the alliance to communicate on the tense situation some time ago. Lao Gou, Lao Gou’s gay friend Ai
King Duo and the most capable King Soleyn are now in the imperial capital.
This time the glory mission military exercise, others do not say, King Sornene and Old Dog Wendot will definitely travel, and now it should be set off. So it is unlikely to be here.
Then it was time to choose King Slein, who was the second most capable among the emperors. He commanded the troops in the Gate of Glory sector next door. As the commander of the military region and the marshal of the empire, he commanded more than 2,000 battleships and more than 3 million soldiers.
Human officers and soldiers. Half of the defense zone faces the center of the galaxy, and the other half of the defense zone will confront the alliance's sphere of influence.
King Slein is also a famous general with both wisdom and bravery. He has very strong military attributes and should be very interested in military exercises. Anyway, there is nothing going on in his defense zone right now, so he takes a break from his busy schedule and goes to the next star zone to have a meal.
Quite reasonable.
Now, in terms of the ability to command troops, King Slen is the second best fighter among the chosen emperors, and in terms of strength (at least on the surface), he is the best among the current chosen emperors. He will definitely admire me as the chosen champion of the God of War Festival.
of.
So, to sum up, she is the only one who is currently in this remote Sarna planet and wants to come over to treat me to a meal and mess with me!
Hmm, there’s nothing wrong with the logic!
…That’s weird!
When Yu Lian entered the Pulse City Administration Restaurant in a daze, like a numb walking zombie, and when the tall figure of Queen Brunhilt came into view, he actually saw another familiar figure at the same time.
Beautiful shadow.
Under the platinum hair, there is a face that is dignified and intellectual, as beautiful as a silver wheel, as quiet as a literary girl. If it is not Amida Senge Berenkeste, who could it be?
Yu Lian trembled and suddenly realized a very important problem.
Hey, I have nothing to do with them! I didn’t do anything to feel sorry for Feifei at all. When he thought of this, Yu Lian completed the switch from a walking corpse to a full of life in just a short moment, and his body and mind were all shaken up.
Got up.
Thinking of this, Yu Lian stood up to Miss Brünnhilt, who was wearing the uniform of an imperial admiral, and gave a military salute: "It's been a long time since I greeted you, Your Highness Brünnhilt, and I haven't had time to express my gratitude to you."
In any case, Yu Lian was able to kill so smoothly in the God of War Festival, after all, he had the support of King Suliuka. In the subsequent trip, her Holy Tree Guards team was indeed the core combat force of the team.
Then, Yu Lian looked at the woman with short platinum blond hair and elegant temperament over there, and showed a smile that was more intimate than a normal business smile, that of a loved relative and friend: "And Miss Yamida, I didn't expect you to be here too.
Ah! This is really..."
In any case, Yu Lian and Yani swam arm-in-arm at the amusement park, sat together at a food stall and drank beer overnight, and were both photographed by reporters. Things have already developed to this point.
, at this time, there is no need to pretend to be a stranger with whom we have no friendship.
It is very appropriate to let the expressiveness of our relationship remain as close friends. Yu Lian thought to himself.
Has my facial expression management improved a lot?
"Oh, it's really interesting. When we were in the Holy Tree Palace, in front of Gu, Colonel Yu Lian scolded the empire from its history to its system, from the emperor to the citizens. Is it possible that he is so cautious now?"
Brunhildt raised his elegant eyebrows, his blue eyes swept over Feifei's body, and the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up with a sarcastic smile: "Last time, that energetic guy said he wanted to make my belly bigger.
Where is your son?"
Yani did not speak, but drank tea from a cup.
Feifei didn't seem to hear it. She immediately smiled and still maintained the dignity of a serious military diplomat.
I really don’t know that you are waiting here for me. Yu Lian felt his scalp numb, and just before he jumped up and said something like, "She is slandering me," Brunhild had already bypassed him and turned to Dan.
Tai Jing stretched out his hand.
“Mr. Tantai, on behalf of the empire, I welcome you.”
Tantai Jing is not a professionally trained diplomat, but he has a bright smile. He has already felt the sweetness of fruits.
As for Major Poppas, a staff officer doing tactical research is certainly not a slow person, and he also felt some very exciting emotions brewing. Of course, he also recognized these two women with noble temperament and beautiful appearance.
He immediately felt a kind of admiration for Yu Lian.
As for the other people present, such as the uncles who were obviously local senior officials, although they all pretended not to hear, they were all obviously a little restless. Oh, by the way, the "Lava Sword" that Yu Lian had seen once
"Miss Ostana. She was still drinking tea with a paralyzed face, as if she really didn't hear it.
Of course, no matter what, those present were either the Emperor Xuan, the eldest daughter of the chaebol, or the gentle and considerate Feifei. We were all adults and decent people, so it was impossible to really start a fight in public. So.
Almost immediately, everyone sat down and started this very business and diplomatic banquet.
Strictly speaking, imperial palace banquets are very particular about etiquette. There are very strict and complicated rules for everyone's seating, toasts, the rhythm of serving dishes, between each dish, and even the accompanying music used at each stage.
Regulation.
But we also need to know that the Tirello people do have a pragmatic and unruly side. Except for the kind of state banquets that need to be shown to the public, the private banquets of the imperial nobles rarely follow the etiquette established by the Heraldry Academy.
They are often arranged according to the preferences of the banquet host.
Since it is an actual combat exercise during the march, there is no need for a cumbersome palace banquet. Brunhild directly asked people to set up a large round table that can seat more than twenty people. Everyone sits at the same table. It looks like
There is no sense of superiority or inferiority. In addition, in addition to the elegant imperial court dishes, the dishes on the round table also have several colorful earthly East Asian cuisines, which are all spread out on the table. Although the flavors are a bit overwhelming when mixed together,
But the colors also look particularly gorgeous.
The strict etiquette system is to create a noble and virtuous image, but this pragmatism is to make people feel peaceful and comfortable. From this perspective, the imperial aristocracy is indeed a very special person in the history of civilization.
A rare clear-minded elite ruling class.
Tantai Jing suddenly showed a suitably moved expression. Of course, again, he was not a professionally trained diplomat after all, so this business expression was a bit deliberate.
Feifei pursed her lips and smiled. She had already seen that several of these dishes were clearly Yu Lian's favorites, so she glanced at Brynhild with the corner of her eye quietly, and then she also touched them.
The other person’s gaze.
The two ladies noticed this, simply turned around and looked at each other calmly, and then laughed together, like a hundred flowers blooming, like a world-famous painting. To outsiders, these were clearly two beautiful ladies.
We felt like old friends at first sight.
Speaking of which, King Suliuka seems to like this kind of beautiful young ladies who are good-looking, temperamental and capable. Isn’t that what her best friend group is like? Isn’t the same thing true for Miss Ostana sitting next to her?
?Since I’m so happy to see Hunter, it’s not surprising that there are a few new members in my bestie group.
No, she has been getting along very well with the eldest lady of the Berenkeist family these days.
Oh, the eldest lady of the Belenkester family still didn’t speak and was drinking tea.
All in all, because everyone is decent people, there is no ky etiquette in this meal, and overall the atmosphere is very harmonious. Brunhild thanked the military delegation on behalf of the empire for coming, and reiterated the empire and alliance
, the friendship between the empire and the community. She also reiterated that the Glory Mission military exercise is used by the empire to demonstrate its strength and determination to defend the peace of the galactic nations and the well-being of all civilized races, etc., and will never cause any tension.
, if the situation is really tense, there must be forces with ulterior motives spreading rumors and so on in the country.
As an elected emperor, she naturally received the strictest etiquette and foreign affairs education. Of course, she was very skilled in this kind of diplomatic rhetoric that made everyone feel like a spring breeze.
“I will definitely send your speech today back to China as soon as possible and publish it in the newspaper as soon as possible.” Feifei responded with the same flawless diplomatic smile.
Brünnhilt nodded slightly, smiled noncommittally, then raised his glass and stood up: "Then, gentlemen, I wish the Galactic Empire a long life!"
Since the host of the banquet has started to give a toast, the rest of the imperial bureaucrats must naturally follow. Even the foreigners present, even if they feel a little unhappy, in this kind of diplomatic situation, of course they can only follow the crowd.
Tantai Jing just moved his mouth hastily and his expression was a bit stiff. Without professional training, this was all he could do. He didn't fall out on the spot, which was already a very well-mannered performance.
Yu Lian snorted in his heart, a smile appeared on his lips, he also raised his glass, and said in a louder voice: "I wish His Majesty the Emperor eternal health!"
Brünnhilt felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't seem to find any problem.
In this way, a welcoming banquet where guests and hosts enjoyed themselves came to an end.
When everyone was preparing to leave, Brunhild finally started to explain the business: "However, Yu Lianqing actually thought of coming to Sarna planet for inspection. It seems that he and I do have something in common. It's a pity.
I must return to Luyuan Planet tomorrow to receive the Lords of the Privy Council and the main members of the military observation group. I have designated three observation posts on the Sarna planet, namely the administrative residence in Pulse City, the security headquarters, and
Temporary camp located in Blue Crystal City, west of the Great Pulse Plains."
Yu Lian thought to himself that you did something serious after all, and you didn't just come here to harm me.
The observation post is located at the administrative residence and security headquarters in Pulse City. This is a natural arrangement. However, adding an additional temporary camp in Crystal City is very demanding.
This medium-sized city is more than 200 kilometers away from Pulse City, but it is already the most inland city on the planet. It is close to the huge transverse canyon, the pillar industry of the planet (back then), the two explosive dust wells and energy gathering
The crystal mine is also nearby. In addition, there are huge reserves of copper, iron, vanadium, titanium and other metal minerals in the nearby mountains.
This Crystal City is naturally a typical industrial city. Moreover, in order to support the mining of explosive dust and energy-gathering crystals, the imperial military has built large-scale professional warehouses here. Now, although two-thirds of these warehouses have ceased
It has been used, but after all, this is the closest inhabited planet to the frontline Lion's Den Fortress. To serve as a supply transfer, the remaining one-third still holds a considerable reserve of strategic materials, including many three-dimensional materials.
Explosive dust and energy-gathering crystals that were produced years ago but have not yet been shipped away.
You know, in addition to using explosive dust as a wave, skilled engineers can also pour it into the engine, sacrificing the life of the engine, so that the ship can gain a faster sublight speed in a short period of time. If
It is said that if the blue team in the exercise is really preparing to sneak attack the Lion's Den Fortress and pass through the Sarna planet, they will definitely find a way to seize these materials in the Crystal City warehouse.
In this way, the place where fierce fighting is most likely to occur on the Sarna planet is of course the "outlying" inland industrial cities on this edge planet.
The establishment of a drill observation post here indeed reflects Brünnhilt's careful thinking. Of course, this may also be Ostana's suggestion.
At this time, King Suliuka said again: "During this period, you can enter and leave the planet's government and military institutions at will... Of course, if there are some military restricted areas, you need to apply in advance. I will keep Ostana here.
, as my representative. If you have any questions, you can communicate with her at any time."
Yu Lian nodded to the "Lava Sword", who also responded with a smile. She really looked like a harmless young artistic woman. However, Yu Lian always felt that the other party didn't even have the smile on the corner of her mouth.
The curvature seems to have been carefully designed.
But this is not surprising. In his last life, Yu Lian felt that Ms. "Lava Sword" actually had another type of facial paralysis. No matter what happened at any time, her smile could not be shaken. No one could change her smile from that face.
Under the perfectly designed, bookish and friendly smile, any micro-expression can be read.
"General Griffith of the Iron Army Complex has already gone to the observation post in Crystal City for inspection." Ostana smiled and said: "There are still a few days before the exercise officially starts. If you are interested, we can advance it.
Let’s communicate.”
“He is indeed a very responsible soldier, very admirable.” Brunhildt also praised him.
Yu Lian had never heard of the name "General Griffith", but considering that he came from the Iron Army Complex, an image of an image wrapped in a tin can and chanting an electronic synthesized voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
However, his sixth sense still felt that the appearance of General Griffith should not be just a coincidence.
If I remember correctly, the remains of the coordination robot company left by Count Salvin are also near Crystal City, right?
Must observe carefully. Yu Lian lowered his eyelids slightly and began to think.
Yamida glanced at Yu Lian and drank another cup of tea.
