The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was clear.
The Imperial Capital, Pandora.
At this time, colorful flags were already fluttering, and flowers were in full bloom.
On the main road leading to the palace, Vincent, a seventh-generation KMF airframe used by the Royal Guards, was wearing a red cloak, had distinct edges and corners, and was full of majesty. There were gorgeous patterns on the armor, and they stood straight on both sides of the road with long Knight guns in their hands.
Today,
Was the day when the Britannia Empire welcomed a new emperor to the throne.
Although the preparation time for the new emperor's ascension was only half a month, with the help of the distinguished guests from the starry sky, they completed the preparation plan that used to take half a year, or even longer, to complete.
Moreover, even while carrying out such a serious task, the Royal Knight who stayed in their airframes could not help but look at the sky above the palace.
There,
Two huge warships that were roughly the same in shape, but with obvious differences in length, were quietly suspended above the palace.
One was the cosmic warship MACROSS Windchime that helped the Third Princess, Her Highness Euphemia, regain the throne from the traitors.
The other was the cosmic warship MACROSS Demoness owned by He Meimei, a good friend of the Third Princess, Her Highness Euphemia, a girl from the cosmic city of Star Glory that drifted in the depths of the universe.
Under the tremendous pressure brought by these two huge cosmic warships, even the nobles, large and small, who were dissatisfied with the Third Princess, Euphemia Li Britania, suddenly winning the throne of the Britannia Empire, could only silently accept this fact.
After all, even if all these nobles were connected together, they would not be as powerful as a casual main cannon.
The huge pit behind the Imperial Capital, Pandora, still emitted a trace of energy reaction that was blown up by the Windchime.
As long as they witnessed the energy sparks that were constantly jumping in the depths of the pit, no one would dare to show their dissatisfaction and dissent on their faces.
All that was left was to respectfully and obediently send the third princess, Her Highness Euphemia Li Britania, to the throne.
"How boring!"
On the upper floor of the audience hall,
On the balcony overlooking the entire Royal Square.
A young girl looked at the respectful faces of the nobles, who seemed to be full of confidence and loyalty to the new Empress who was about to ascend the throne, and showed a trace of disdain.
"This is something that can't be helped. After all, no one would show any signs of dissent in the face of absolute power. The nobles who know how to protect themselves are even more so. "
The young man standing beside the young man shrugged his shoulders and said disapprovingly.
"Hey, hey! No matter what, these people are your comrades. He would have to deal with them in the future. Is it really okay for you to say that? Ray Mingkai. "The young girl looked at the young man in surprise and clicked her tongue in wonder.
"No. I'm just a Knight. There was no need to deal with these nobles at all. Besides, with the situation here stabilized, the patrol officer should have other missions waiting for me. "
Ray Mingkai shook his head.
After the new Empress ascended the throne, his appointment would also be issued.
As mentioned before, Ray Mingkai's appointment was only the position of the Empress's Personal Guard Knight Captain. As for the other positions, Ray Mingkai did not care about them, and did not want to add a few more unnecessary positions besides the position of Knight Captain.
This was because Ray Mingkai himself was a patrol officer who needed to go to other space-time to carry out missions. In the long run, he and the White Cat State Zero still had to collect the fragments scattered all over the universe and restore their homeworld.
"Isn't this too boring? Moreover, according to the current situation, I'm afraid Uffi won't be able to go on missions with you in a short period of time. "
He Meimei turned around and sat lightly on the railing. She shook her legs and small head and said slowly.
"After all, this is a crucial period for the new Empress's ascension. Whether or not we can control the entire Empire in our hands depends on our efforts during this period. "
Ray Mingkai knew very well what He Meimei said and understood.
As the saying goes, there is nothing new under the sun.
The situation that Euphemia was about to face had played out countless times in the thousands of years of history of Ray Mingkai's distant eastern hometown.
Now, Euphemia had also reached this step.
Moreover, this step was also due to Ray Mingkai's contribution.
"I know. I have always known Uffi's wish. All I can do is to support her. "
Ray Mingkai nodded and looked down at the nobles who gathered around Cornelia and showed a flattering smile.
If Ray Mingkai appeared in the square below, he would probably face the same predicament as Cornelia.
One must know that the valiant Cornelia on the battlefield was not willing to argue with these nobles who were good at talking but were actually good-for-nothings.
"It's really tough! Your Highness Cornelia. The feeling of wanting to be angry, but having to endure it, I also understand. "
He Meimei noticed that Ray Mingkai also showed a look of lingering fear after looking at Cornelia.
"You also encountered it?" Ray Mingkai was surprised.
But on second thought, Ray Mingkai was not too clear about He Meimei's identity, but he could conclude that He Meimei's identity was not simple.
Therefore, He Meimei encountered the same "siege" that Cornelia was facing now, which did not surprise Ray Mingkai.
"En, yes! A group of annoying flies. "He Meimei muttered unhappily and then pulled the topic back to the main topic.
"I also know Uffi's wish. Uffi's decision was not wrong. If any world wants to continue to develop and maintain a healthy state of development, it needs to constantly expand its horizons and explore more unknown worlds. "
While speaking, He Meimei pointed at Ray Mingkai and then at the palace behind him.
"This world is very lucky. Your appearance led to Euphemia, the heir to the Empire, being brought to Star Glory City and seeing a bigger and wider world with her own eyes. Therefore, this world was broken. "
He Meimei put her hands together in a circle and gestured to Ray Mingkai.
"Before you returned to this world, this world was just wrapped in an invisible shell. Day after day, month after month, year after year, it lived its own small life. Even with my appearance, it was still the same. "
Ray Mingkai looked at He Meimei's gesture and pondered for a moment.
"According to what you said, our return is equivalent to breaking the shell that the world is wrapped in?"
"Correct." He Meimei undid her gesture and gave Ray Mingkai a thumbs up.
"According to my father, every person who enters the Other World is a nail in the coffin. But whether or not the nail can break the shell of the world depends on the nail's own ability. "
"Nail?"
Ray Mingkai fell silent thoughtfully.
Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed as He Meimei's father said. He himself was like a nail that was accidentally inserted into the core of the world. As long as he was strong enough, this nail could erupt with enough power to change the world and the course of history.
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
At this moment, the bell rang.
It was the bell that signaled the beginning of the coronation ceremony.
The crucial moment had finally arrived.
"Alright! Sir Knight Captain, you should hurry back to your post! Your mission has been completed, and I don't need you to accompany me anymore. "
Hearing the bell, He Meimei jumped down from the railing, clapped her hands, and waved at Ray Mingkai.
"Then, I'll go first. See you later. "
"See you later!"
The bell rang loudly.
Standing in the Royal Square, the Royal Guards straightened their backs and showed their best side.
Next, the new Emperor of the Britannia Empire would cross the Royal Square and step into the audience hall. Under the gaze of all the nobles in the Empire, his royal sister, Cornelia Li Britannia, would put the crown on his head and become the new Emperor of the Empire.
Although, this was not in accordance with the procedure of the throne change.
However, as mentioned before, in the face of absolute power, any objections were nothing more than the meowing of a kitten.
When the sun was about to rise to the center of the sky, the flag appeared.
The flag that symbolized the ascension of the new Emperor appeared in the Royal Square, and all the Royal Guards standing in the Royal Square could not help but feel refreshed. They brought out 200% of their strength to welcome the arrival of the new Emperor.
Under the fluttering flag was a lion with snow-white sideburns, a huge body, a ferocious expression, and a small crown on its head.
And on his back, there was a girl in a red robe with a snow-white background embroidered with gorgeous patterns — the third Princess of the Britannia Empire, Euphemia Li Britannia, who was about to ascend the throne and become the new Emperor of the Empire.
Step by step, the huge lion carried Her Highness the Empress across the Royal Square under the watchful eyes of the nobles, surrounded by many guards.
Stepping on the stairs leading to the audience hall.
Through the door that was opened for them.
They came to the center of the audience hall.
In front of the stairs in front of the throne.
The snow-white lion slowly lowered his body.
Ray Mingkai, who had been waiting for a long time, took a few steps forward, bent down, and stretched out his hand, ready to welcome Euphemia when she landed.
Looking at Ray Mingkai's right hand, Euphemia smiled and gently put her small hand on Ray Mingkai's hand, then jumped and landed lightly on the ground.
"Your Highness, please."
Ray Mingkai led Euphemia to the front of the stairs.
In front of the stairs, Euphemia looked up.
Standing on the stairs was her royal sister, Cornelia Li Britannia.
At this time, the Empire's Valkyrie was looking down at Euphemia with a very oppressive attitude.
"Who are you?"
The Empire's Valkyrie asked.
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion among the nobles who were watching. However, under the influence of the so-called noble etiquette, this commotion was just a flash.
Cornelia and even Euphemia were not affected by this commotion.
"I am Euphemia Li Britannia. The Third Princess of the Empire. "
Euphemia raised her head slightly and looked directly at her royal sister.
Obviously.
This was different from the ascension drill that Euphemia had conducted in the past half a month.
As a witness, Cornelia's speech and actions were beyond everyone's expectations.
This completely violated the ascension process that had been issued to people.
"Euphemia Li Britannia. Why are you here? "
Cornelia's gaze gradually became stern and cold.
"For the throne."
Euphemia answered again.
"The throne? Then, answer me! Euphemia Li Britannia! Among the heirs of the Empire, you are not the first. Why do you want to ascend to the throne? What qualifications do you have to ascend to the throne? "
"Wow!"
Cornelia's unexpected words exposed the dissatisfaction in the hearts of many nobles.
These questions had been brewing in the hearts of many nobles for a long, long time. They were only forced to suppress it due to the absolute power of MACROSS.
Now, it was exposed by an unexpected person.
Cornelia Li Britannia.
In the minds of many nobles, the Empire's Second Princess was undoubtedly the most protective of Euphemia. Therefore, she was also regarded as one of the most powerful and staunch insiders in promoting Euphemia's ascension to the throne.
Why?
At this critical moment, Cornelia made this move that was almost a betrayal.
However,
Euphemia did not show any signs of panic. Instead, she looked calm.
Under the gaze of many nobles, the Third Princess Euphemia said:
"A year ago, I was on the verge of death. With this opportunity, I saw a world that I had never seen before, never heard of, and never imagined. "
"Over there, I saw things that no one here could believe or even imagine. Things that no one here could imagine. It was unimaginably huge. It had a port that was busy day and night, and it quietly streaked across the starry sky. Battleships up to a thousand meters long gathered in the orbit of the planet and launched a journey to the distant and unknown galaxy. "
"Alien races with green skin, crystal wings, small, burly, and unique shapes, with different civilizations and languages, lived together harmoniously under the leadership of the power called the City of Stars, blossoming into beautiful flowers of civilization."
With that, Euphemia turned around and looked around. She looked at the nobles who were either confused, contemplative, contemptuous, or even suspicious.
"Do you believe everything I said?"
With her red robe fluttering, Euphemia stretched out her right hand, and the scepter that symbolized imperial power was placed in her hand by Viretta, who was standing by the side.
As the scepter was raised high, Euphemia loudly said the declaration she wanted to say.
"I know that you won't believe everything I said, and you won't believe it! But, this has nothing to do with me! Because, even if you don't believe it, it's fine if you don't want to believe it. I, Euphemia Li Britania, will show this real world in front of you in the name of the new Empress of the Britannia Empire! "
"Those who don't want to gradually rot in this decaying world, please follow me! Those who don't want to see the new world and stubbornly live in their own world, let them powerlessly and completely turn into the residue of history in the decaying coffin!! "
