The news announced by Euphemia made everyone talk involuntarily.
The buzzing sound of discussion filled the entire dome in the audience room.
Before Euphemia came to the throne, when the previous emperor Charles was in charge of the empire, the entire Britannian Empire was warlike. Whenever a country was conquered, the leader of that country would be escorted to the emperor to show submission.
.
But what Euphemia and Iseiram did was beyond everyone's expectations.
"His Majesty."
The three nobles quietly looked at each other and exchanged some simple views in a tacit understanding.
For some reason, when Euphemia stepped down from the throne, stood in front of Iseilam, and announced the news, a vague sense of loss of control quietly came, lingering in the hearts of the three nobles.
"Do you have any questions? Sir Raymond."
Euphemia moved her eyes and fell on Cassius Raymond, the head of the three nobles.
She knew that the mastermind who kept sending strangers' information to her desk in the name of "tradition" was the head of the three nobles, Cassius Raymond.
"Yes! Your Majesty."
Even though Cardius Raymond had despised Euphemia before, now he had to act like a subordinate and bow down to Euphemia respectfully.
"Although it is a bit unexpected, it is a blessing for our Britannia Empire that His Majesty Aiseiram can join us. But, I don't know how to arrange for His Majesty Aiseilam? To be honest.
, if His Majesty Aiseilam is allowed to sit on the same seat as us, we are afraid..."
"About this, Mr. Raymond, you don't need to worry. In fact, His Majesty Aiseiram has been following our Majesty the Queen of the Holy Britannia Empire as a secretary for some days."
It was Cornelia who interrupted Cassius Raymond's words, and what she said immediately caused everyone to focus on Aeseiram.
This young queen actually decided on the whereabouts of this foreign queen who had surrendered to the Britannia Empire without saying a word.
What a lot of courage!
In private, many nobles exchanged glances, and then subconsciously focused on the three nobles standing at the front.
Faintly, they seemed to realize that today's meeting seemed to be an opportunity for the young queen to launch an offensive against the three nobles.
It must be said that the gazes cast by the nobles who increasingly felt that this was the case made the three nobles standing in front suddenly feel like a light on their backs.
"what to do?"
After the two nobles standing behind Cassius Raymond exchanged glances quickly, Henry Akande took a step forward, stood beside Cassius Raymond, bent down and saluted:
"His Majesty's decision is naturally wise. But, except for His Majesty Aiseiram, what are the arrangements for the others?"
Euphemia did not answer immediately.
I saw her raising her hand to guide Iseiram up the steps, standing on the left side of the throne, guarding the throne with Cornelia on the left and right.
"Teresa Testarossa. From now on, she will be appointed as the captain of the battleship Avalon, Viscount."
"Mira Ray is the head of the Knights of the Empress of Britannia Empire and the sworn sister of Imperial Knight Commander Lei Mingkai. At the same time, she serves as the deputy director of the cutting-edge mobile body development department of the Imperial Research Institute, Viscount."
"Nami. Genius technology developer. Takes the post of senior researcher at the Imperial Research Institute's Cutting-edge Machine Development Department, Baron."
"Kaizuka Yuki and Kaizuka Inaho are siblings from the same bloodline, and possess superb machine technology. In particular, Kaizuka Inaho's keen insight and extraordinary thinking have been recognized by the Imperial Research Institute
Appreciation from the director, Earl Lloyd. Therefore, Kaizuka Yuki is awarded a baron as a member of the Queen's Guards Knights. Kaizuka Inaho is awarded a baron as a junior researcher in cutting-edge mobile body development at the Imperial Research Institute. At the same time, he is granted the qualification to study at the Imperial University!
"
Euphemia, holding a scepter, stood on the steps, looking down at the nobles below and telling her about the arrangements for Teresa and others.
However, before Euphemia could reveal the final arrangement of Koichiro Marito, someone finally couldn't help but jumped out.
As we all know.
After Euphemia ascended the throne, wars around the world became peaceful.
Without the battlefield where they can gain military exploits, the nobles have lost the channel to obtain greater benefits and fame.
Although this is nothing to the established nobles, over time, it gradually becomes a pain in the neck.
The older generation of nobles does not care about the amount of military exploits, but the younger generation must rely on military exploits to enhance their status and prestige, so as to obtain more resources from the family and the empire.
Without the channels to gain military exploits, the younger generation gradually changed.
Even after Euphemia took charge of the throne and disclosed the existence of the City of Stars, there were very few young people who could participate in Euphemia's development plan for space.
Therefore, when her younger generation had no hope of promotion, Euphemia actually gave away so many titles in one go in a grand gesture.
Even if these titles are the highest, they are only Viscount, but the younger generation who have lost their military exploits cannot even touch the shadow of Baron!!
"Your Majesty!! Maybe there's something wrong with doing this?!"
Sure enough, not only the three nobles, but also the neutral faction and some pro-emperor faction couldn't help but speak.
"Ho! Shut up! You've disturbed me!"
However,
As soon as the noisy voices of the nobles rang out, a terrifying roar suddenly echoed through the entire audience.
Pure white steel armor, sharp teeth flashing with cold light, and huge claws with a hint of murderous intent stepped on the steps, protecting Euphemia within them.
That is the huge steel lion, Wilderness Lion Zero, which is 3 meters high and nearly ten meters long.
"Ho! Why are you making such a fuss! Shut up!"
Pupils with golden cold light swept across the audience, frightening most of the nobles to take a step back.
The Holy Beast of the Empire: Long-tusked Lion Type Zero.
From that day on, no one knows about it.
But it was the first time for either the three nobles or anyone else to see Zero's Wild Lion form at such a close distance.
"Holy...Holy Beast-sama!?"
In the eyes of others, the most common form of Type Zero, known as the Holy Beast of the Empire, is a pure white giant lion with long pure white hair and a golden glow when it opens and closes.
Or maybe it's in the form of a huge steel lion that far exceeds the size of the ordinary KMF.
Looking at the Wild Lion Zero in front of him, Kashu Raymond couldn't help but swallowed a breath.
The barbaric aura that rushed towards him not only shocked Cassius Raymond, but also caused a flaw in his thinking.
"Are you quiet? Keep going, I'll lie down here!"
After Zero looked around again, he lay down at the foot of the steps guarding Euphemia.
Being attacked by the Zero Type suddenly, most of the people present retreated.
The ferocity of the Longtooth Lion Type Zero is obvious to all.
Especially now, when these human beings who bear the title of aristocrat but are undoubtedly ordinary people are facing the wilderness lion type zero that exudes a wild atmosphere and is extremely ferocious, the biological instinct inherited for thousands of years quietly awakens and takes control.
He retreated with his body frightened by the wild lion.
No one dared to fight with flesh and blood against that terrifying lion with a steel body and extremely ferocious nature.
Euphemia's eyes moved slightly, she looked at Leimingkai, nodded slightly, and then looked at Cassius Raymond, the head of the three nobles.
"Sir Raymond, what do you think?"
Euphemia's voice was calm, but also carried an irresistible majesty.
However, Cassius Raymond knew that if he retreated here, then the young queen would completely control the entire empire's aristocracy and manipulate it at will.
"Yes! Your Majesty. I still feel that something is wrong. Although it is an honor for our empire to have many new members join our Brittanian Empire. But such a generous reward is a testament to our empire's determination to be loyal to the empire and to practice it.
It’s unfair to the younger generation.”
Cardiff Raymond carefully considered his words and said what he meant.
"Um."
Euphemia nodded without commenting, but looked at Henry Arcand, who was second only to Cassius Raymond.
"Qing Akande, what about you?"
Henry Akande was silent for a moment, and then responded respectfully.
"My opinion is the same as Sir Raymond's."
"Um."
Euphemia nodded again, still not expressing any opinion, and once again moved her gaze to look at the last of the three nobles, Charlie Caolidi, who had remained silent.
"Your Majesty, I think we need to think more carefully."
It is no surprise that since the first generation of the three nobles joined forces, they have been advancing and retreating together.
This is true even when facing the Wild Lion Zero lying on the steps.
"Hmm. So, does anyone else have any opinions?"
The answers from the three nobles were as expected, but Euphemia still looked around, waiting for other people's opinions.
Perhaps because Euphemia did not show any resistance or displeasure in the face of the three nobles' statements, the nobles who had just been frightened by the wilderness lion began to have their thoughts again.
This time, surprisingly, even the royalists were divided.
But even if there were differences, only a minority of royalists supported Euphemia.
This good show of disagreement made Cornelia, who was standing on the right side of the throne, secretly grit her teeth.
She did not expect that at this critical moment, the royalists who had sworn allegiance to Euphemia would actually drop the ball.
When her angry eyes flashed past, Cornelia saw that Lei Mingkai was still there.
"Has the Knight Commander predicted this situation?"
As if sensing Cornelia's gaze, Remingka nodded slightly to her, then turned around and gestured to the brown beauty Veretta who was always standing behind him.
Without any words, just a slight nod, Weiletta understood what Lei Mingkai meant.
"It seems that everyone is very resistant to the addition of new members!"
While Euphemia gave Teresa, Mira and the others a reassuring smile, she turned around, walked out of the way of the Wild Lion Zero, and returned to the throne. She turned around again and looked down at everyone below.
"Why? I remember someone told me before that maintaining the stability of an empire is undoubtedly maintaining its tradition. Under the inertia brought by tradition, the current status of the empire is undoubtedly the most stable and least likely to be defeated.
of."
Euphemia's eyes gradually moved towards Cassius Raymond.
There is no doubt that the target of Euphemia's words is him!
Cassius Raymond flashed several times.
He knew that the young queen's counterattack had finally come.
After taking a few deep breaths, Cassie Raymond, the head of the three nobles, stood up and slightly raised his head to look at the young queen.
"Yes! Your Majesty. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and is in an unstable state both at home and abroad. At this critical moment, if something happens, I am afraid that our Britannia Empire will be in trouble.
The foundation laid over the past hundred years will be wiped out!!"
"Then? Mr. Raymond, do you have any suggestions? Or is it a good way?"
What surprised Cassius Raymond was that Euphemia did not speak to refute his words, but followed his words straight down the line.
This unusual attitude made Cassius Raymond's words suddenly stuck in his throat, making him unable to say them out at all.
Among the imperial nobles, Cassius Raymond, who had been crawling around for a long time, instinctively sensed the trap dug for him by the young queen.
explain?
Or not?
At this time, a slight voice came from behind.
"Sir Raymond, what are you still hesitating about?"
This is Henry Akande's voice.
Without looking back, Cassius Raymond knew that the same was true for the rest of Charlie Coughliday.
"There is no turning back!"
Cassius Raymond took a few steps forward, stood in front of the steps, looked up at the young queen, and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Emperor Euphemia LI Brittania! In order to maintain the stability of the Empire, it is time for Your Majesty to have people around you who can support Your Majesty to sit firmly on the throne and rule the Empire. Please come as soon as possible.
Make a decision!!"
Looking at the face that looked so distressed for her own sake, Euphemia couldn't help but feel sick in her heart.
I asked questions back and forth, but received the same answers.
In order to maintain the stability of the empire, Euphemia must have a prince by her side.
The so-called prince must also be chosen from among their nobles.
The reason is undoubtedly to use the influence of the royal family to expand the power of his family.
Really...
Ridiculous!!!
A surge of anger quietly rose from under Euphemia's eyes.
"Sir Raymond! Is this what you call suggestion and what you call a good solution?!"
"Yes! Your Majesty! In order to maintain the stability of the empire..."
"Shut up! Mr. Raymond! You disappoint me so much!!"
Euphemia gave a cold shout, interrupting Cassius Raymond's words.
At the same time, the Wild Lion Zero lying on the steps raised its huge steel head and looked down at Cassius Raymond.
Under those sharp teeth that shimmered with cold light was Cassie Raymond's stubborn expression.
"Your Majesty! This is..."
"Crack!"
Without warning, a stack of documents fell from the sky and hit Cassius Raymond directly in the face.
"Kashgar Raymond. Maybe you should take a look at these documents. See what your so-called tradition has allowed you to do!!"
Veretta, who walked up the steps at some point, was holding a pile of documents in her hands and stood next to Euphemia.
The document that was slapped on Cassie Raymond's face just now was the document in Veretta's hand.
Under Euphemia's cold voice, Cassius Raymond saw several names that he was very familiar with from the scattered papers.
That was the name of the younger generation in his family. At the same time, he was also the most vicious one. He had committed many crimes, but under the protection of his family, he had escaped the sanctions of the empire time and time again.
This time, Cassie Raymond understood.
The young queen on the throne was well prepared. She was not as innocent as they imagined, nor was she the princess who had been regarded as a flower vase by the nobles over the years.
The documents in Villetta's hands are probably the many crimes committed by the three nobles since their rise, and they are also the death scythe that sent the three nobles to hell.
"Sir Raymond!"
The two people who noticed the strangeness of Cassius Raymond quickly spoke out, but they were stopped by Cassius Raymond raising his hand.
Cassius Raymond raised his gaze and glanced at Euphemia, then at Veretta holding the document, and then at the Wild Lion looking down at him. Finally, he looked at the man standing opposite, who had never seen him before.
Lei Mingkai spoke.
"Lei Mingkai, Imperial Knight Commander. We really underestimated you!"
Lei Mingkai moved his eyes, but smiled faintly, and responded to Cassius Raymond.
The nobles who are used to being aloof will not know what kind of situation the Brittanian Empire is facing.
Even if Euphemia tried her best to bring them to the City of Stars, they would just treat her as something to talk about after dinner.
Instead of dragging the empire back, it is better to eliminate all the nobles who only focus on the world in front of them and refuse to move forward today.
Without receiving a response from Lei Mingkai, Cassius Raymond seemed to already know the fate of himself and even the family behind him.
"Your Majesty, please give me the order!"
The moment he said these words, Cassius Raymond, who was admired by thousands of people and regarded as a role model by many nobles, seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and his whole aura became gray and dissociated.
Maybe, in that second, the once high-spirited Cassius Raymond, who tried to control the young queen through marriage, would die.
"Knights of the Guards, take Cassius Raymond, Henry Arcand, and Charlie Caoliddy down to wait for the empire to judge the entire family of the three nobles."
"yes!"
It's not that no one wants to speak for the three nobles, but when Euphemia ordered people to take away the three of Cards, the wilderness lion lying on the steps suddenly stood up, and the armed sword behind it changed.
It moved back and forth in front of everyone, and the cold light reflected from the blade stung everyone's eyes.
After watching the three people who showed no resistance being dragged away by the bodyguard knights, the eyes burning with anger quietly moved and met Lei Mingkai's eyes in mid-air.
As soon as she saw Lei Mingkai's worried eyes, the anger in Euphemia's eyes immediately disappeared, leaving only tenderness and a hint of shyness.
Under this hint of shyness, the young queen slightly raised her scepter and pushed it hard on the ground.
"Quiet!"
The whole place was silent.
"What Cassius Raymond said is right! The Britannia Empire needs a prince! However, I do not want the prince of the Britannia Empire to be born from a nobleman. Because, in Cassius Raymond
Before Germany proposed it, the position of prince next to the Queen of the Britannian Empire had already been assigned!"
The shyness in his eyes gradually faded away, leaving behind a firm and unrepentant light.
At this moment, Cornelia, who noticed Euphemia's abnormality, moved her lips, but chose to acquiesce.
As Euphemia's sister, how could Cornelia not be aware of her sister's thoughts.
However, Euphemia is now a phoenix that has spread her wings and soared high, making the world look up to her.
"Leader of the Imperial Knights of Britannia, Commander of the Imperial Knights, Lei Mingkai, come out!"
As soon as he said this, Lei Mingkai suddenly became the focus of the audience.
Now Lei Mingkai was stunned.
No one had ever informed him that Euphemia would appear like this at the Great Court.
On the throne, a gentle smile appeared on the young queen's lips.
She stretched out her left hand towards her guardian knight and said softly:
