The assassination of Princess Ethelam shocked Darzana, Kaoru Nozomi, and the others.
This was far more shocking than when Princess Ethelam appeared and activated the battleship Deucalion.
In order to deal with this matter, Darzana gathered all the people related to Ray Mingkai, Euphemia, Ethelam, and the others in the captain's room to discuss.
In fact, from the very beginning, Darzana could have executed Lyai Ariathu under the wartime management regulations. However, considering that the party who was attacked was not a member of the Earth Alliance Army, but Ayselam Visser Eliosya, who had a subtly different identity and position, Darzana finally decided to gather all the related parties and make a decision together.
"How to deal with that Lyai Ariyasu? In the end, this is also our dereliction of duty. "
Darzana sighed inwardly. She had never expected that the assassin would board the same warship as her.
"No. Captain. This should be my dereliction of duty. "
Jie Zhongxue, however, denied Darzana's self-blame.
"No. Jie Zhongxue Warrant Officer. This is not your dereliction of duty. It should be my dereliction of duty. "
Juhu Koichiro opened his mouth to deny Jie Zhongxue's statement.
"You … What do you want to do?"
Not only Darzana, even Kaoru Nozomi, Ethelam, and Adelizo who gathered in the captain's room were a little confused.
Why are the two rushing to take the blame on themselves?
In this regard, Ray Mingkai who already knew part of the truth naturally guided them in the dark.
"Captain Juhu, Jie Zhongxue Warrant Officer. I heard that Lyai Ariyasu was rescued by you when you were fighting against the Mars Armored Cavalry? "
Hearing this, Jie Zhongxue nodded.
"Yes. At that time, when we were ordered to attack and stop the Mars Armored Cavalry that suddenly appeared in the city, we found that Lyai Ariyasu was being chased by the Mars Armored Cavalry. "
"Yes. However, now that I think about it, maybe at that time it was a trick? "
Hearing Jie Tsuka Snow's words, Jube Koichiro recalled the situation at that time. He realized that he did not hesitate to risk his life to attract the enemy's attention, and let Jie Tsuka Snow save the girl seemed to be a spy who used self-injury to gain the enemy's confidence?
"No, I'm afraid that isn't the case. Warrant Officer Lei. No, perhaps I shouldn't be asking you this question. "
Darzana first denied Jube Koichiro's speculation, then after glancing at Ray Mingkai, she looked at her adjutant.
"It's gone. Before Princess Ethelam showed up and activated Deucalion, did you think she would have survived the assassination attempt? "
"No. The assassination attempt took place in full view of the public. Especially when Princess Iselam's double walked out of the overturned car, it was captured by the camera. In this case, let alone us, even the Martians who launched this assassination may not believe that Princess Ethelam can survive. "
Kaoru Noboru spoke of her own opinion, and even most people's opinion.
After all, in the previous assassination incident, the scene of "Princess Ethelam" walking out of the car and being swallowed by a missile from the sky was witnessed by all humans who watched the live broadcast.
This fact was only overturned when Eseyram appeared and activated the battleship Deucalion in front of Darzana and the others.
In other words, when the Earth Alliance Army unanimously believed that "Princess Ethelam" had been assassinated, the Martians who launched the assassination attempt would inevitably make the same judgment.
Otherwise, how could the Mars Cavalryman suddenly appear in New Luhara City and chase a defenseless girl.
"The Mars Cavalryman was here to erase the existence of the assassin. In other words, the pursuit witnessed by Captain Jube and Warrant Officer Jie Tsuka was just an internal conflict between the enemies. "
After Darzana combined the current clues, she finally came to the real answer.
In this regard, Ray Mingkai couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart.
The facts were indeed as Darzana said.
Ryai Ariashu himself was a survivor of the Assassin Gang.
After witnessing his father being killed by Torland with his own eyes and being rescued by Jie Tsuka Yuki and Jube Koichiro, he accidentally came to this battleship.
"In this case, I'm afraid we have no right to make a final decision on this issue."
For some reason, Darzana looked at Ray Mingkai and Euphemia.
Ray Mingkai's lips moved, but Euphemia pulled the corner of his shirt, preventing him from speaking.
Ray Mingkai, who originally wanted to speak and execute Ryai Ariashu, chose to remain silent after seeing Euphemia's gaze. He gave the right to speak to Euphemia.
"Captain. As for the disposal of Ryai Ariashu, we should probably give the right to Princess Ethelam. If Ryai Ariashu is a Martian, then as the Earth Alliance Army, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to deal with this matter. "
In fact, Euphemia played a little trick on this issue. She kicked the problem to Ethelam because of the difference in nationality and put herself in the position of a third party.
Although there were loopholes in Euphemia's statement, Darzana and others tacitly maintained a tacit agreement and quietly waited for Ethelam's statement.
From the beginning of the discussion to now, Ethelam remained silent and waited for the final result to come out.
However, under Euphemia's taichi ball, Ethelam knew that she could no longer remain silent.
"Captain, Miss Uffi, and everyone. I hope to see Ryai Ariashu again before we come to a decision. I want to talk to her. Why? Why do you have to kill me? "
Hearing this, everyone looked at Darzana in unison.
"Okay. However, we can only meet Ryai Ariashu under the guarantee of safety. "
Darzana pondered for a moment and agreed to Ethelam's request.
In any case, as long as they still relied on this battleship to send Deucalion to the headquarters of the Earth Alliance Army, they would not offend Ethelam too much.
Even if Princess Ethelam seemed to be easy to talk to.
"Thank you very much!"
The disturbance caused by the assassination of Leai Ariashu came to an end for the time being.
However, Ray Mingkai still had some opinions in his mind.
"Kai. Are you angry? "
After leaving the captain's room and returning to their room, Euphemia looked at Lei Mingkai's calm but faintly dissatisfied face, and asked softly, "What's going on?"
Ray Mingkai did not answer. He just looked down and looked at Euphemia's right hand that was still wrapped in a bandage (in order to hide the healed wound).
As a Knight Guardian, Ray Mingkai wanted to eliminate all the dangerous factors that threatened Euphemia.
Even if Ryai's extreme behavior was justified.
"Kai. This time, can you listen to my thoughts? "
Euphemia saw the heartache in Ray Mingkai's eyes.
However, Euphemia still had some thoughts about the girl, Lea Ariashu.
Ray Mingkai secretly sighed.
"Say it! My lovely Highness. You know I won't refuse you. "
Euphemia couldn't help but smile at the familiar way of addressing her.
This was the tacit understanding between the two.
"There is no one else around Ethelam. Even if she gets our help and stops the war in a short period of time, I'm afraid that later, she will fall into a predestined ending. She will ascend the throne, and in order to consolidate the power of the royal family, she will choose to marry one of the many Orbital Knights. So, if possible, I hope that there will be people around Ethelam who are effectively loyal to her. "
"For this reason, do you want to create an opportunity for Ethelam to be magnanimous to influence Ryai Ariashu and make Ryai Ariashu loyal to her? I don't think this will succeed. In Ryai Ariashu's eyes, whether it is the Orbital Knight who killed her father, or Ethelam, who was the victim of the assassination, they are all just Martians. The only difference is that they should be killed, and they should not be killed. "
In terms of status and upbringing, Euphemia and Ethelam were so similar.
They were so similar that after Euphemia and Ethelam met, Ray Mingkai always felt that Euphemia was secretly guiding and paying attention to Ethelam.
"Uffi. Let's not talk about whether Ethelam can influence Ryai Ariashu. Our current mission is not to change the fate of Princess Ethelam. Before finding Miss.Q and Mr. J, who are hidden in this world, our actions can't be too complicated. "
Euphemia nodded. Euphemia knew this clearly.
Before Euphemia could explain her actions further, Lei Mingkai continued, "I'm not sure if you'll be able to do that.
"However, it is not enough to rely on Fiana alone. If possible, we may be able to win Princess Ethelam over to our side. This is also one of the early stage investments! "
With that, Lei Mingkai chuckled.
"After all, Royd is now fascinated by the Aldnoah reactor in Fermianyanglu. If we can get Princess Ethelam, who has the activation factor of Aldnoah, to stand on our side, I believe it will make Royd happy for a while. "
Ray Mingkai seemed to be teasing Royd, who was fascinated by the Aldnoah reactor, but behind the words, there was some tolerance for Euphemia's willful request.
"Thank you! Kai! "
"However, there will be no next time! Anyone who wants to hurt Uffi, I will make them regret living in this world! "
"Yes! Kai. "
— — —
Under the dark steel dome, there were iron pillars that were three meters tall and lined up neatly on both sides.
Above them were the lights that never went out and illuminated the vast hall.
Under the lights, there were soldiers in the blue military uniform of the Mars Weise Empire, and the red carpet that extended all the way to the depths of the hall.
The Weise soldiers stood upright with a serious expression, quietly waiting for the arrival of a certain moment.
At this time, there was a movement in the depths of the red carpet.
It was the sound of slightly messy footsteps.
But there was also the sound of a staff that symbolized the control of Yanglu City and the power of a separatist party.
"Welcome, Your Highness Princess Remurina! Welcome, Count Zazbarum! "
The moment the high-pitched voice sounded, all the Weise soldiers standing in the hall turned around in unison and half-knelt on the ground. They respectfully greeted the two figures that walked to the end of the red carpet and the high platform illuminated by several lights.
The sound of the wheelchair moving gradually stopped, and Remurina's gaze fell on the Weise soldiers kneeling on both sides of the red carpet. Then she looked away and looked at Zazbarum standing beside her.
"Count Zazbarum. I'm ready. You may begin. "
"Yes! Your Highness Princess Remurina. "
Now, a ceremony began under the command of Princess Remurina.
This was not a ceremony that could be made public.
This was just an award ceremony held by Zazbarum using his authority and Remurina Weise Enweise, the heir who did not exist in any records of the Weise Royal Family.
The award recipient was none other than Fiana, who brought back Deucalion piloted by the late Count Volayne not long ago.
Although Deucalion had become useless, for Zazbarum, it still had a different meaning.
For this reason, Zazbarum did not mind using his authority to provide Fiana with a reward.
For example, the real Aldnoah activation factor.
Perhaps it was out of guilt for the surname Rayant.
Or perhaps it was out of remembrance for the late Viscount Volayne.
Now, Zazbarum decided to let Princess Remurina give Fiana the activation factor, and at the same time, let Fiana swear allegiance to Remurina.
"Pass! Fiana von Rayant! "
Memories of the past flashed in his mind. But with the appearance of Fiana, he gradually recovered the memories related to Count Volayne. Zazbarum raised his right hand and ordered loudly.
"Pass! Fiana von Rayant! "
"Pass! Fiana von Rayant! "
The repeated voices of the soldiers kept echoing in the hall until the sound of the steel door that isolated the hall from the outside world opened.
"Click! Rumble!! "
The heavy steel door slowly moved.
A pretty but heroic figure stepped on the red carpet step by step and walked to the front of the high platform. Then, she knelt down and shouted respectfully, "I'm sorry, but I'm sorry, but I'm sorry, but I'm sorry."
"Fiana von Rayant. Greetings to Her Royal Highness Princess Remurina Visser Enwether! Count Zazbarum. "
"Rise! Fiana von Rayant. "
Remurina nodded and said, "That's right.
"Now, in the name of the person who continues the bloodline of Visser, I ask you, do you, Fiana von Rayant, swear allegiance to the person you see in front of you?"
Fiana's posture was straight, and her eyes were firm and clear.
She replied.
"Yes! I, Fiana von Rayant, will serve Her Royal Highness Princess Remurina Visser Enwether as my master, and will be at her beck and call! Until the moment of my death! "
Fiana's oath made a light flash in Remurina's eyes.
If it weren't for Zazbarum standing beside her, Remurina probably wouldn't have been able to control herself and reveal a smile from the bottom of her heart.
"In the name of the person who inherits the bloodline of Visser! I acknowledge you! Fiana von Rayant, come up! Come to my side and become my Knight! "
