Euphemia's announcement caused everyone to discuss among themselves.
The buzzing sound of discussion filled the entire dome of the audience room.
Before Euphemia ascended the throne, when the previous Emperor Charles was in charge of the empire, the entire Britannia Empire was belligerent. Every time a country was conquered, the leader of the country would be escorted to the Emperor to show his allegiance.
However, Euphemia and Ethellam's move was out of everyone's expectations.
"Your Majesty."
The three nobles looked at each other secretly and exchanged some simple opinions tacitly.
For some reason, when Euphemia walked down from the throne and stood in front of Ethellam to announce the news, a sense of loss of control quietly came over the three aristocrats.
"Is there any question? Raymond. "
Euphemia moved her gaze and fell on the head of the three aristocrats, Card Artisan Raymond.
She knew that in the name of "tradition," the mastermind who kept sending information from strangers to her desk was the head of the three aristocrats, Card Artisan Raymond.
"Yes! Your Majesty. "
Although Card Artisan Raymond had despised Euphemia so much before, he had no choice but to assume the attitude of a subordinate, respectfully bowing to Euphemia as he spoke.
"Although it's a little unexpected, it's the fortune of the Britannia Empire that Her Majesty Ethellam can join our Britannia Empire. However, I don't know how to arrange Her Majesty Ethellam. To be honest, if Her Majesty Ethellam sits with us, I'm afraid … "
"Regarding this point, Raymond, you don't have to worry. As a matter of fact, Her Majesty Ethelam has been following Her Majesty the Queen of the Britannia Empire for quite some time now. "
The one who interrupted Card Artisan Raymond's speech was Cornelia, and her words immediately made everyone's gaze fall on Ethellam.
This young Queen actually decided the destination of this foreign Queen who had submitted to the Britannia Empire without saying a word.
What a bold move!
Privately, after the aristocrats kept exchanging glances, they subconsciously looked at the three aristocrats standing at the front.
Faintly, they seemed to have realized that today's court meeting was the opportunity for the young Queen to launch an attack on the three aristocrats.
It had to be said that the gazes of the nobles who felt more and more that this was the case made the three great nobles standing at the front suddenly feel as if there was a blade on their backs.
"What should we do?"
The two nobles standing behind Card Artisan Redmond exchanged glances. Henry Akende stepped forward and stood beside Card Artisan Redmond. He then bowed and said:
"Your Majesty's decision is wise. However, other than Her Majesty Ethellam, what about the others? "
Euphemia did not immediately answer.
She raised her hand and guided Aytheilam up the stairs to the left of the throne. Cornelia and Aytheilam stood on the left side of the throne.
"Teresa Testa Rosa. From today onwards, she will be the captain of the warship Avalon, Viscount. "
"Mila Ray. She is the leader of the Britannia Empire's Queen's Personal Knight Regiment, the adopted sister of the Empire's Knight Captain Ray Mingkai. At the same time, she will be the deputy director of the Empire's Research Institute's Cutting-Edge Body Development Department, Viscount. "
"Nami. Genius technology developer. She will be the senior researcher of the Empire's Research Institute's Cutting-Edge Body Development Department, Baron. "
"Jie Zhong Xue and Jie Zhong Inafan are siblings of the same bloodline, and they have superb body technology. Especially Jie Zhong Inafan, her keen insight and extraordinary thinking were praised by the Empire's Research Institute's Director, Earl Royd. Therefore, Jie Zhong Xue will be a member of the Queen's Personal Knight Regiment, Baron. Jie Zhong Inafan will be the senior researcher of the Empire's Research Institute's Research Institute's Research Institute, Baron. At the same time, she will be qualified to study in the Empire's University! "
Euphemia, holding a scepter, stood on the steps, looking down at the aristocrats below, and explained the arrangement of Teresa and the others.
However, before Euphemia finished explaining the arrangement of Juhu Koichiro, someone finally couldn't help but jump out.
As everyone knew.
After Euphemia ascended the throne, the war on a global scale became peaceful.
Without the battlefield to gain military service, the aristocrats lost the channel to gain greater benefits and fame.
Although for the old aristocrats, this was nothing, but after a long time, it gradually became a problem.
The older generation of aristocrats didn't care about the amount of military service, but the younger generation relied on military service to improve their status, enhance their prestige, and thus gain more resources from the family and the Empire.
Without the channel to gain military service, the younger generation gradually changed.
Even after Euphemia took control of the throne and publicized the existence of the City of Stars, the younger generation who could participate in Euphemia's development plan for space were few and far between.
Hence, even though there was no hope for the younger generation to be promoted, Euphemia actually gave out so many noble titles in one go in such a generous manner.
Even if the highest title was only viscount, the younger generation who lost their military service couldn't even touch the shadow of baron!!
"Your Majesty!! This may be a bit inappropriate, right?! "
Sure enough, not only the three aristocrats, even the neutral party and some of the pro-emperor party couldn't help but speak.
"Roar! Shut up! You're disturbing me! "
However,
As soon as the aristocrats' noisy voices sounded, a terrifying roar suddenly resounded throughout the audience.
Pure white steel armor, shining sharp teeth, revealing a trace of murderous aura, stepped on the steps, protecting Euphemia in the middle.
That was a huge steel lion with a height of three meters, nearly ten meters long, wild lion · State Zero.
"Roar! What's the noise! Shut up for me! "
The golden pupils swept across the audience, scaring most of the aristocrats into taking a step back.
The Empire's Sacred Beast · State Zero.
From that day onwards, there was no one who didn't know about it.
But to see State Zero's lion form at such a close distance, no matter if it was the three aristocrats or the others, it was the first time.
"Sacred … Sacred Beast!?"
In the eyes of others, the most common form of State Zero, known as the Empire's Sacred Beast, was a pure white lion with a body of long pure white fur, with golden radiance between its opening and closing.
Or it was the huge steel lion form that far exceeded the size of a normal KMF.
Looking at State Zero in front of him, Card Artisan Raymond couldn't help but swallow a breath.
That barbaric aura that came rushing over not only shook Card Artisan Raymond's mind, but it also made a flaw appear in his thinking.
"Is it quiet now? You guys continue, I'll lie down here! "
State Zero looked around again, and guarded Euphemia, lying down at the bottom of the steps.
After State Zero's sudden attack, most of the people present wanted to retreat.
The fierceness of the Long Fang Lion Style was obvious to all.
Especially now, these aristocrats, who were no different from ordinary people, were facing the savage aura of the savage and ferocious State Zero. Their biological instincts that had been passed down for thousands of years quietly awakened, and controlled their bodies that were intimidated by the wild lion to retreat.
No one dared to use their flesh and blood to fight against the ferocious lion that had a steel body.
Euphemia's gaze moved slightly, and looked at Ray Mingkai. After nodding slightly, she looked at the head of the three aristocrats, Card Artisan Raymond.
"Chancellor Raymond. What do you think? "
Euphemia's voice was calm, but with a sense of authority that couldn't be disobeyed.
However, Card Artisan Raymond knew that if he retreated here, then this young Empress would completely control the aristocrats of the Empire, and she could do anything she wanted.
"Yes! Your Majesty. I still feel that something is wrong. Although there are many new members joining the Britannia Empire, it is our honor. However, such a generous reward is unfair to the younger generation of our empire who have always been loyal to the empire and have always been committed to the empire. "
Card Artisan Raymond chose his words carefully, and expressed his thoughts.
"Mm."
Euphemia nodded, and didn't express her opinion. Instead, she looked at Henry Akende, who was second only to Card Artisan Raymond.
"Akende, what about you?"
Henry Akende was silent for a moment, and then replied respectfully.
"My opinion is the same as Raymond's."
"Mm."
Euphemia nodded again, and still didn't express her opinion. She moved her gaze again, and looked at the last of the three aristocrats who had been silent, Charlie Kahlidi.
"Your Majesty. I think we still need to think about it. "
Unsurprisingly, since the first generation of the three aristocrats joined hands, they had been advancing and retreating together.
Even when facing State Zero, who was lying on the steps, it was still the same.
"Mm. So, does anyone else have any opinions? "
The three aristocrats' answer was expected, but Euphemia still looked around, waiting for others' opinions.
Perhaps in the face of the three aristocrats' attitude, Euphemia didn't show any resistance, or an unhappy attitude. The aristocrats who were just shocked by the wild lion began to have other thoughts.
This time, to their surprise, even the royalists had different opinions.
But even if there were differences, those who supported Euphemia were the minority of the royalists.
This disagreement made Cornelia, who was standing on the right side of the throne, secretly clench her teeth.
She didn't expect that at this critical moment, the royalists who swore loyalty to Euphemia would drop the ball.
As her resentful eyes flashed, Cornelia saw that Ray Mingkai was still calm.
"Has the Knight predicted this situation?"
As if he felt Cornelia's gaze, Ray Mingkai nodded slightly to her, and then turned back to the brown beauty Viretta who was standing behind him.
Without saying anything, just a slight nod, Viretta had already understood Ray Mingkai's meaning.
"It seems that everyone is very resistant to the addition of a new member!"
Euphemia smiled reassuringly at Teresa, Mira, and the others. She turned around and returned to the front of the throne through the path that Wild Lion Zero had made. 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 situation of the empire is undoubtedly the most stable, and also the most difficult to defeat. "
Euphemia's gaze gradually moved to Card Artisan Raymond.
Without a doubt, Euphemia's target was him!
Card Artisan Raymond flashed a few times.
He knew that the young Empress's counterattack had finally arrived.
After taking a few deep breaths, Card Artisan Raymond, the head of the three aristocrats, stood up and slightly raised his head to look at the young Empress.
"Yes! Your Majesty. Now that Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, whether it is within or outside the country, it is in an unstable state. At this critical moment, if something were to happen, I am afraid that the foundation that our Britannia Empire has built over a hundred years will be destroyed!! "
"Then? Raymond, do you have any suggestions? Or is it a good idea? "
To Card Artisan Raymond's surprise, Euphemia did not open her mouth to refute his words. Instead, she went along with his words and went all the way.
This abnormal attitude made Card Artisan Raymond's words suddenly stuck in his throat, and he was unable to say anything.
Card Artisan Raymond, who had been rolling around among the aristocrats of the empire for a long time, instinctively felt that the young Empress had dug a trap for him.
Say?
Or not say?
At this moment, a soft voice came from behind.
"Chancellor Raymond. What are you still hesitating for? "
This was Henry Akendall's voice.
Without turning his head, Card Artisan Raymond knew that the remaining Charlie Kahlidi was also the same.
"There is no turning back!"
Card Artisan Raymond took a few steps forward and stood in front of the stairs. He looked up at the young Empress and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty! Her Imperial Majesty Euphemia Li Britannia! In order to maintain the stability of the empire, Your Majesty needs someone who can support Your Majesty to sit on the throne and govern the empire. Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible!! "
Looking at the face that showed that he was thinking for her, and the face that was filled with grief, Euphemia could not help but feel a wave of disgust in her heart.
He asked back and forth, but all he got was the same answer.
In order to maintain the stability of the empire, Euphemia must have a prince by her side.
And the so-called prince must be chosen from the aristocrats.
Undoubtedly, it was to use the royal family's influence to expand their own family's influence.
This is really …
Ridiculous!!!
A wave of anger quietly rose from Euphemia's eyes.
"Raymond! Your so-called suggestion, your so-called good idea is this?! "
"Yes! Your Majesty! In order to maintain the stability of the empire … "
"Shut up!! 'Raymond! You, you disappoint me!! "
Euphemia shouted coldly, interrupting Card Artisan Raymond's words.
At the same time, Wild Lion Zero who was lying on the stairs raised its huge steel head and looked down at Card Artisan Raymond.
Under the cold gleam of the sharp teeth, was Card Artisan Raymond's stubborn expression.
"Your Majesty! This is … "
"Pa!"
Without any warning, a stack of documents fell from the sky and directly hit Card Artisan Raymond's face.
"Card Artisan Raymond. Maybe you should take a look at these documents. Take a look at what your so-called tradition has made you do!! "
Unknowingly, Viretta walked up the stairs with a stack of documents in her hands and stood beside Euphemia.
The documents that hit Card Artisan Raymond's face just now were the documents in Viretta's hands.
Under Euphemia's cold voice, Card Artisan Raymond saw a few names that he was extremely familiar with from the scattered papers.
Those were the names of the younger generation in his family. At the same time, they were the most vile ones who had committed many crimes, but under the protection of his family, they had escaped the empire's punishment time and time again.
At this moment, Card Artisan Raymond understood.
The young empress on the throne was already prepared. She was not as innocent as they had imagined, nor was she the empress who had been regarded as a vase by the aristocrats over the years.
The documents in Viretta's hands were probably the crimes of the three aristocrats since their rise to power. At the same time, it was also the scythe of death that sent the three aristocrats to hell.
"Raymond!"
Sensing Card Artisan Raymond's strange behavior, the two people hurriedly called out, but were stopped by Card Artisan Raymond.
Card Artisan Raymond raised his gaze and looked at Euphemia, then looked at Viretta who was holding the documents, then looked at the wild lion who was looking down at him. Finally, he looked at Ray Mingkai who was standing opposite him and hadn't said a word since the beginning.
"Ray Mingkai, Imperial Knight Commander. We have indeed underestimated you! "
Ray Mingkai's gaze moved, but he only smiled faintly in response to Card Artisan Raymond.
The aristocrats who were used to being high up didn't know what kind of situation the Britannia Empire was facing.
Even though Euphemia had gone to great lengths to bring them to the City of Star Glory, it was only used as a topic for them to talk about after a meal.
The aristocrats who only cared about the world in front of them and refused to move forward, rather than dragging the Empire down, might as well get rid of them today.
Without receiving any response from Ray Mingkai, Card Artisan Raymond seemed to already know the fate of himself and his family.
"Your Majesty, please give the order!"
The moment he said this, Card Artisan Raymond, who was revered by tens of thousands of people and was regarded as a role model by many aristocrats, seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. His entire aura turned gray and drifted away.
Perhaps, in that second, this card artisan Raymond, who had once been full of mettle and had attempted to control the young Empress through marriage, would die.
"Personal Knight Regiment, take Card Artisan Raymond, Henry Akande, and Charlie Kahlidi away to await the trial of the three aristocrats."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
It wasn't that no one wanted to speak up for the three aristocrats, but when Euphemia ordered her men to take Cassius and the other two away, the wild lion that was lying on the stairs suddenly stood up. The armed sword on its back moved back and forth towards the crowd, the cold light reflected from the blade piercing everyone's eyes and causing them to feel pain.
After watching the three being taken away by the Personal Knight Regiment without any resistance, the pair of burning eyes quietly moved and made contact with Ray Mingkai's gaze in mid-air.
Seeing Ray Mingkai's worried eyes, the anger in Euphemia's eyes disappeared, leaving only tenderness and a trace of shyness.
Under this trace of shyness, the young empress slightly raised the scepter in her hand and forcefully pressed it on the ground.
"Silence!"
Everyone was silent.
"Card Artisan Raymond is right! The Britannia Empire needs a prince! But, I don't want the Britannia Empire's prince to be born from the aristocrats. Because, before Card Artisan Raymond's suggestion, the position of prince next to the empress of the Britannia Empire had already been taken! "
The shyness in her eyes gradually faded, leaving behind a determined and unrepentant light.
At this moment, Cornelia, who noticed Euphemia's abnormality, moved the corner of her mouth, but chose to acquiesce.
As Euphemia's elder sister, how could Cornelia not notice her sister's thoughts?
But now, Euphemia had already spread her wings and soared high, a phoenix that the world looked up to.
"Captain of the Britannia Empire's Personal Knight Regiment, Imperial Knight Regiment, Ray Mingkai, step forward!"
Once the words were spoken, Ray Mingkai immediately became the focus of the entire crowd.
Right now, Lei Mingkai was dumbfounded.
No one had ever told him that Euphemia would make such a move in the imperial court.
On the throne, the young empress's mouth curved into a gentle smile.
She reached out her left hand to her Guardian Knight and said softly:
"Kai, my Knight! Come here! Come to my side! "
