The Knight's conferring ceremony ended quickly.
After Fiana received the symbol of a Knight from Remurina's hands — a brooch with a pure white feather surrounded by a ring — the private conferring ceremony came to an end.
"Fiana. I really liked the story you told me about the seagulls. That's why I took the initiative to make the symbol representing the activation factor look like this. "
Remurina looked at the brooch on Fiana's collar and revealed a satisfied smile.
Clearly, she liked the design of the brooch and was even satisfied with her own decision.
"To be able to satisfy Your Highness, I am truly honored."
Even though she said the same flattering words as everyone else, Fiana's attitude didn't change much.
This made Remurina nod inwardly.
"Count Zazbarum. I want to go back and rest now. Will Fiana still be in charge of tomorrow's classes? "
Knowing that Zazbarum would definitely have other matters to discuss with Fiana after this ceremony, Remurina showed that she was already tired.
"Yes. Your Highness Princess Remurina. I will immediately arrange for Your Highness to rest. Of course, tomorrow's classes will still be in charge of Fiana von Laiente. To be liked by Your Highness is not only Fiana von Laiente's honor, but also the entire Laiente Family's honor. "
After Zazbarum had his subordinates send Remurina back and dismiss everyone, he stood on the high platform and looked down at Fiana from above.
"Fiana von Laiente. Congratulations! Even though this is a late honor, the Laiente Family still managed to seize this moment at a crucial moment. From now on, you will be the successor of Viscount Volin. With Viscount Volin as your goal, you will revive the glory of the Laiente Family. "
"Yes! As you command. Zazbarum! I will revive the Laiente Family! "
Her long black hair gently scattered and covered Fiana's face, but Zazbarum could hear the resolute determination in her voice.
"Mm. Come with me! As a Knight, how can I not have a precious steed? "
Zazbarum said softly as he walked down the stairs and passed by Fiana.
As a new Knight, Fiana had to have her own body.
Although from the data obtained from the Aerie II, Fiana's driving ability was very good, and she could even be compared to Earl Volley 15 years ago, Zazbarum still felt that the Aerie II was not the most suitable body for Fiana.
After all, Arry II didn't exist as a standalone machine.
Instead, it served as a support plane for Zazbarum's personal plane, Diokusri.
Diogenes.
This was Zazbarum's trump card.
It was also the trump card that allowed him to stand above the other Orbital Knight.
The most praiseworthy thing about it was that it had the ability of multiple Aldnoah reactors, and it was a powerful body that had integrated the technology of multiple Mars Knight bodies.
And Arry II was one of the components that formed this trump card.
Therefore, Zazbarum had no intention of handing Arry II over to Fiyana no matter how he looked at it.
Zazbarum and Fiana, one in front and one behind, passed through the quiet corridor and came to a huge space where the unique noise of machinery operating could be heard.
At the entrance of this huge space, a figure was quietly guarding it.
Srein Troyet.
Seeing the figure, the name flashed in Fiana's mind.
She thought that after sending her to Yanglu City, the young man would only stay in Yanglu City for one night, then return to Kuluteo, but she didn't expect to see him at this moment.
From his expression, it seemed that he had been waiting here for a while.
"Srein Troyette. What's the situation? "
Zazbarum stopped in front of Srein and stared at the skinny young man.
"Yes! Count Zazbarum. The procedures have been completed! Count Kuluteo also specifically told me to serve Count Zazbarum wholeheartedly. "
In response to Zazbarum's question, Srein bowed deeply and answered with respect.
"Yes!"
Zazbarum nodded slightly, then raised his cane and tapped on Srein's shoulder.
"Raise your head! Srein. Although being here with me won't cause you any bad memories, you still have to keep your spirits up! Otherwise, what awaits you won't be a beating, but a direct fall into the abyss of death. "
Zazbarum's attitude wasn't good, but it was slightly better than Kuluteo's.
Moreover, even if the threat in his words increased, Srein still slowly let out a sigh of relief.
"I won't be troubled for no reason, right?"
"Srein Tjelot. It seems that from today onwards, you're a member of Count Zazbarum's subordinates. "
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded.
Srein subconsciously turned around and saw the conspicuous feather brooch on the other party's collar.
Although Srein had never seen this type of feather brooch, from the small words and patterns printed on the ring surrounding the feather, it must be a keepsake that only Knights were qualified to wear — a keepsake that symbolized loyalty to the royal family.
"I'm very sorry! I was reckless! I didn't mean to offend you! "
In an instant, Srein, who had been struggling to survive alone in the Weise Royal Palace since his father's death, immediately reacted instinctively. That appearance made Zazbarum frown secretly.
"No. Raise your head! Srein Tjelot. In the end, you and I can be considered half of the same hometown. "
Hearing this, Srein subconsciously raised his head.
The next moment, Srein's eyes were full of astonishment.
"You …"
"I'm Fiana Von Rein. As you can see, I've become a Knight of Mars, and I'm also a member of the Knight under Zazbarum. "
Fiana's attitude was very friendly, making Srein, who was bullied by the people around him all day, feel a little relaxed.
"No. Fiana. In fact, the current Fiana Von Rein is not a member of the Knight under me, Zazbarum. Fiana von Raiente is only serving me, Count Zazbarum, for the time being. I believe that in the near future, the name of Rein will return to the glory of Viscount Volin. "
Hearing Fiana admit that she was one of his subordinates, Zazbarum immediately refuted Fiana.
"Yes! Count Zazbarum. Everything will be as you wish! "
Fiana did not argue, nor did she refute, but obediently agreed to Count Zazbarum's words.
"Okay! Let's talk less. Fiana, from today onwards, Srein will be your navigator. "
Zazbarum raised his hand, and after casually making arrangements for Srein, he continued:
"Srein. That's all for today! Go back and rest first. "
"Yes! Count Zazbarum, Lord Rein, please forgive me for taking my leave! "
The young earth boy who broke free from the abyss on Count Kuluteo's side did not know that Zazbarum had been sizing him up. He just turned around and walked toward the room that had been arranged for him.
Until Srein's figure disappeared into the depths of the passage, Zazbarum secretly sighed.
"Fiana. Srein Troyet. Pay more attention in the future. "
Fiana revealed a hint of surprise.
"Count Zazbarum. What do you mean? "
Zazbarum silently turned around, and before stepping into the noisy space full of mechanical operations, he said faintly.
"Srein Troyette. That's the son of my savior, Dr. Troyet. I brought him out of Kuluteo's Yanglu City to repay Dr. Troyet for saving me from the desperate situation of death. "
Fiana was silent for a moment, then asked:
"Count Zazbarum. Why are you telling me this? "
Count Zazbarum asked with a chuckle.
"Why?"
"Is it because of Rein?"
"Haha. Maybe! "
In the midst of Count Zazbarum's laughter, the two had already walked into the huge space filled with the sound of mechanical operations.
As they walked in, the first thing that entered Fiana's eyes was a dilapidated but extremely familiar body wreckage.
"Deucalion?!"
Fiana softly called out the name of the wreckage in front of her.
"Yes. This is Deucalion. "
Zazbarum's gaze gradually turned cold.
He didn't expect his fiancee's Deucalion to be so dilapidated. More importantly, Deucalion's Aldnoah Reactor had disappeared.
This made Zazbarum even angrier.
"Fiana. When you found Deucalion, were there other things hidden under Seed Island? "
Zazbarum stopped in front of Deucalion and asked Fiana about Deucalion without looking back.
"Yes. In addition to Deucalion, there was a huge dry dock and a huge battleship parked on it. "
Fiana's answer was very straightforward. She didn't have the slightest intention of covering up Deucalion's battleship.
"A huge battleship? Hmph. "
Zazbarum sneered a few times.
"I'm afraid Deucalion's Aldnoah Reactor was already installed on that battleship! The abacus of the Earthlings is really very bright. "
Fiana was silent.
But Zazbarum seemed to want to continue asking about the battleship.
"Fiana. When you retreated with Deucalion, was the battleship still in the dry dock? "
Facing this question, Fiana was silent for a moment, then slowly said:
"No. Count Zazbarum. Before we left, the battleship seemed to have been activated. "
"Activated?!"
Fiana's words made Zazbarum's pupils suddenly shrink, but then he showed a clear smile.
"Is that so? It seems that we were careless. "
The cold smile hung on Zazbarum's face, not fading at all.
"Fiana. Sorry! It seems that when I gave you a gift to congratulate you on becoming a Knight, you have to make a choice. "
This might be a multiple-choice question.
But for Fiana, there was only one answer in front of her.
"No! Count Zazbarum! As the last member of the Rayent Family, there has never been a multiple-choice question in front of me. There is only one answer in front of me. "
Fiana's voice was firm.
"Count Zazbarum. I know what you mean. There is only one reason why the battleship can be activated, and that is because Princess Iselam, who should have died in the assassination, is still alive and well. With the help of the battleship, she is still on the run. "
Fiana's action of pointing out the existence of Iselam Visser Eleusia without any reservation made Zazbarum's heart flash with a trace of surprise.
He didn't think that Fiana would point out this matter at this time and on this occasion. She also expressed her position on the assassination.
"Fiana von Rayent. You really have a talent that surprises even me. It seems that the Rayent Family will regain its glory in your hands. "
Zazbarum nodded and raised his hand to signal the surroundings.
"Boom!"
The roar of gears operating sounded, and the remains of Deucalion in front of Zazbarum and Fiana slowly moved to the right, revealing the space covered by it.
"Fiana. Look! This is a congratulatory gift to congratulate you on becoming a Knight. A brand-new airframe with two Aldnoah reactors as the power output — Yasweddle!! "
"Yasweddle!"
The airframe with smooth lines, slender and beautiful shape, from top to bottom, neatly arranged six pupils, a plasma beam sword on each side of the waist, and a huge folded wing on the back appeared in front of Fiana.
"Fiana. This is the airframe that was built for my dead fiancée, Viscount Volin, in the past 15 years. It's ridiculous to say it. Viscount Volin clearly died in the Ultra Space Gate incident, but I kept investing resources to complete the construction of this airframe. "
"No. Count Zazbarum. This is not a laughing matter. If Viscount Volin could know the efforts Count Zazbarum had put in in the past 15 years, she would definitely feel gratified. "
Fiana's words didn't make Zazbarum feel a trace of relief. On the contrary, the flower of hatred hidden in his heart quietly bloomed.
"It's useless to say this. However, Yasweddle will still get the chance to fight in the end. Fiana, from today onwards, this airframe is yours! I hope you can pilot it and become the backbone of our righteous cause! "
"Yes! Count Zazbarum! "
