"I'm Lux Klein!"
The pink girl stood in the middle of the spacious hall and introduced herself to the strangers sitting around her.
Among the many seats that surrounded the hall, some were scrutinizing, some were pleasantly surprised, and some had gloomy expressions.
Klein.
Ever since the man with this surname was secretly born in Scandinavia, Scandinavia had its own ultimate destiny.
One day in the future, when the heir with the name of Klein returned, Scandinavia would definitely become a secret force under his command.
However, time was long, and in the growth of two generations, the so-called alliance was only an obstacle to those with ulterior motives.
Even if the heir with the name of Klein was present, they still thought so.
"Lux Klein. Why should we believe that you're Lux Klein? The Lux Klein we know just recently expressed regret through a global live broadcast that the Earth United Alliance failed to cooperate with the investigation of the accident. "
The man sitting at the top of the seats looked down at Lux and said in a deep voice.
"That's King Saad III."
Standing in the shadows of the hall, Astrid explained the identities of everyone in the hall to Ray Mingkai.
King Saad III of Scandinavia, Prime Minister Frye Sas, who was also the current head of the Sas family, General Sauron Quisling, and many other people who were important pillars of the Scandinavian Kingdom and were also members of the alliance.
As Ray Mingkai listened to Astrid's explanation, he slowly moved his gaze and sized up the faces that were either happy, worried, or hostile.
He also constantly thought about the possible changes that Lux might encounter in the future.
However, Ray Mingkai's consideration didn't seem to have much effect.
Because when Lux was facing the other party's questioning, the other party seemed to have already made plans.
Lacus, who was being questioned and even interrogated, did not panic at all. Instead, she calmly answered all the questions about her beliefs, beliefs, and even questions about the authenticity of her identity.
The atmosphere created by the king, the prime minister, and the general was like a huge mountain pressing down on Lacus' weak shoulders. However, the seemingly weak Lacus stood resolutely in front of them, not backing down at all.
Silence.
After Lacus answered all the questions, the king, the prime minister, and the general fell silent.
"Did you succeed?"
Ray Mingkai retracted his gaze and focused on the pink figure who was standing in the middle of the hall, enduring the pressure from all sides alone.
"Success!"
Perhaps it was a coincidence, but Astrid seemed to have answered the question in Lei Mingkai's heart as she slowly said the answer.
"Success?"
Ray Mingkai turned to look at the blonde woman standing beside him.
"Yes! It worked. His Majesty has acknowledged Lax Klein's identity. "
Astrid turned around and looked at Ray Mingkai with a half-smile.
"From today onwards, Lux Klein will be the Shadow Empress of this country."
Facing this answer, Ray Mingkai felt like he was hallucinating.
How could the birth of an empress be so easy?!
Recalling the process of Euphemia going from a princess to the throne, it was a torturous experience.
"Are you surprised?"
Astrid smiled and explained further.
"In fact, other than acknowledging Lax Klein's identity, everything else is business as usual. The current ruling system of Scandinavia will not change because of Lax Klein's arrival. We acknowledge Lax Klein's identity in order to follow the Covenant and deal with the future world. "
[Is this equivalent to inviting an empress to sit on the throne?]
Ray Mingkai did not say this out loud. He did not even show it on his face.
Ray Mingkai knew very little about the Scandinavian Kingdom.
If not for the coincidence, Ray Mingkai would have chosen Aub instead of this mysterious country.
"In the name of Scandinavia, we all agree with the name of Klein that Lacus Klein has."
After King Saad III announced the unanimous decision, he took a step to the right and gave up the throne.
"Lax Klein, please ascend the throne!"
"Please ascend the throne!"
As the king's invitation sounded, the prime minister and the general's words gradually echoed in the hall.
However, Lax was unmoved.
"Your Majesty, the reason I'm here is to find out who stole my identity. Who is the one who is leading this war towards the destruction of all of humanity? "
After saying this, Lax paused. Her expression became serious and she said loudly,
"And not to ascend the throne!!"
Lax's reaction surprised Saad III and the others.
"This …"
Not only Saad III and the others, but even Astrid who was a bystander was the same.
She did not expect Lax to reject the temptation of the throne.
"That's it. Miss Astrid. Lax Klein has no intention of becoming the Empress. She only wants to find out the mastermind behind this series of events. "
Ray Mingkai, who had spent some time with Lax, naturally understood the thoughts of the girl who secretly hid in her bed and wiped her tears in the many dark nights.
"Is that so?"
Astrid was silent for a moment before a smile appeared on her face again.
"As expected of the Guardian Knight. You are indeed very clear about Her Highness' thoughts! "
"Don't make fun of me! I'm not some Knight. "
Ray Mingkai smiled bitterly.
"Oh, is that so? If the person who brought Her Highness here from the universe in a desperate situation isn't considered a Knight, right? Then I'm afraid no one in this world has the right to be called a Knight. "
After saying this, without waiting for Ray Mingkai to deny it, Astrid raised her right hand and pointed to the hall where the meeting had ended.
"It's over. Go and welcome Her Highness! "
Lax's shocking words shocked Saar III and the others, but they could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Abiding by the treaty was a consensus among everyone, but it was also a burden.
Lax's decision had undoubtedly reduced everyone's burden to the lowest.
Because of this, everyone, led by Saar III, could not help but have a deeper sense of identity with Klein.
"Lax Klein. I've already heard the details from Astrid Sas. From today onwards, your identity in the Scandinavian Kingdom is the second daughter of the Sas family, Audrey Sas. Of course. This is only a superficial identity. In reality, your authority in Scandinavia is equivalent to mine. In certain crucial matters, I will even listen to your orders. "
Saar III walked down from the throne and came before Lax, announcing the final decision.
Lux listened quietly, and only after Saad the Third finished speaking did she slowly nod her head.
"I understand! Then, from now on, my public identity is the second daughter of the Sas family, Audrey Sas. "
"That's right! We've already sent people to deal with the matter you mentioned earlier. You can ask Astrid Sass for more details. I've already authorized her to take full responsibility! "
As the two conversed, Ray Mingkai and Astrid had already walked over.
Ray Mingkai's arrival also attracted Saar III's attention.
"Oh, so this is the knight that Astrid and Jörmunggard were praising? Mm, not bad! "
Without waiting for Ray Mingkai to speak, Saar III sized up Ray Mingkai and then praised him.
"No. This is nothing. Actually, I have a presumptuous request. I hope Your Majesty can help. "
Ray Mingkai did not feel much about Saar III's praise.
In the distant space-time, in terms of authority, Ray Mingkai, as a prince of the Britannia Empire, was even more powerful than the Scandinavian kings.
"Oh? Please speak! "
Judging from Thad III's behavior, he seemed to already know some things about Lei Mingkai and Lux's journey.
"Somewhere in the Caucasus Mountains, I've hidden the captured Earth's new MS in a cave that was buried by an avalanche. Your Majesty, is there a way to bring it back? "
“MS? Earth's new MS? "
The moment Ray Mingkai said this, it immediately caused Saar III and Astrid to exclaim in surprise. It even attracted the attention of someone not far away.
"Your Majesty. Didn't you guys mention the new MS from Earth just now? "
The man strode over and stared intently at Lei Mingkai. At the same time, he asked Sade III.
"Yes. It's in a cave in the Caucasus Mountains. But we have to think of a way to bring it back. "
Ray Mingkai glanced at the person.
Sauron Quisling.
This man with the surname of the ancient Scandinavian royal family seemed to be very enthusiastic about the so-called new MS.
"Your Majesty. If it's just a cargo buried under an avalanche, I have a way! "
Sauron Quisling looked at Saar III with blazing eyes.
"Mhmm. Do it! But after it's brought back, only Sir Knight can decide what to do with it. "
"Yes, Your Majesty! Your Majesty! "
Although the order was different from Sauron Quisling's idea, the general, who had long been envious of the new Scandinavian equipment like the MS, left the hall like the wind and gathered his reliable subordinates to prepare to bring back the Dark Assault hidden by Ray Mingkai in the snow mountain.
"I didn't expect Sir Knight to bring us one surprise after another."
Saar III looked at his general's energetic back and couldn't help but sigh.
"No. This is just a coincidence. "
Ray Mingkai shook his head and didn't take it seriously.
Moreover, Astrid didn't seem to have told Saar III about the existence of White Baku.
"Okay! Let's end today's meeting! There's still a welcome party at night! I hope the two of you can come personally after you've rested enough! "
Ray Mingkai and Lacus gladly agreed.
After leaving the hall, Astrid, who brought the two here, found an excuse to leave, leaving the two of them to walk along the road ahead to the car that was already waiting to take them to Saskatoon's residence.
At first, Ray Mingkai and Lacus didn't speak and just walked quietly.
Amidst the rustling of the leaves in the breeze, Lacus gradually slowed down until she was a few steps behind Ray Mingkai. Ray Mingkai stopped and looked back at Lacus.
Lacus seemed to have something to say, but after the corner of her mouth moved, she stepped forward again without saying a word. She walked in front of Ray Mingkai and smiled.
"Let's go! Kai! "
"Mhmm!"
Not long ago, on the distant side of Earth.
The heavy door was slowly pushed open.
A young girl carefully moved into the house step by step through the gap in the door. Then, she closed the door even more carefully.
After doing this, the girl quietly walked up the stairs to the second floor. After sizing up the corridor that didn't seem to have anyone around and no one would pass by, she took a step forward and carefully and quickly walked to the end of the corridor.
Not long after, the girl, who had carefully completed a set of stealthy movements, stood in front of the familiar door and heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as she pushed open this door, she should be safe for the day!
"Creak ~"
The sound of the door being pushed open gave the girl a fright.
Immediately after, before the girl could size up the room, a voice that made the girl tremble sounded.
"I don't remember our Asha family having such an education. Educate your children to be like thieves, acting stealthily. "
"Father … Father?!"
The girl stared at the innermost part of the room with widened eyes.
There, a middle-aged man with long hair and a neatly trimmed beard was sitting steadily.
He was the girl's father, as well as the prime minister of Aub, Rumi Nara Asha.
The girl who was caught in the act was Prime Minister Aub's daughter, Kakali Yura Asha.
"Kakali. You just came back from home a few days ago and you're already thinking about the outside world? "
Rumi stood up and walked step by step to Kakali, looking at his naive and reckless daughter.
"No, it's not like that. I … I just … "
Kakali tried to explain, but after stuttering for a long time, she was still unable to give a reason.
"Just what?"
Rumi suddenly raised his voice by a few pitches.
"Just because you heard the news of a battleship returning from a nearby battle, you ran out without saying a word?"
"I …"
Kakali knew that she was in the wrong, but she wanted to continue explaining.
However, Rumi didn't give her any chance to explain.
"Pa!"
A red invitation card with golden words printed on it was placed in Kakali's hand.
"Since you like to go out so much, then you can represent Aub to Scandinavia and participate in the banquet held for the second daughter of Sasi Family who has returned from studying abroad!"
