When Schonetzel, who had been living in seclusion for a long time, once again appeared in front of the ministers and nobles, the instant he stood upright under the throne, everyone's mind was immediately occupied by the rumbling sound.
At this moment, there were doubts, joy, and even conspiracies. All kinds of thoughts accompanied each other, leading everyone's thoughts and words to run wildly in the direction of their guesses.
Fortunately, before the chaos could spread, Cornelia, who appeared next to the throne, shouted to stop it all.
"Silence! Ministers! By His Majesty's decree, from today onwards, Schonetzel EI Britannia will be the Prime Minister of the Empire. "
The meeting room, which had just quieted down, exploded again. Discussions between the officials and nobles came one after another, hovering in the air above the meeting room for a long time.
This made Cornelia look at Schonetzel and give him a look.
Seeing this, Schonetzel knew it was time for him to take the stage.
"Ministers! Silence! Thanks to His Majesty's grace, I, Schonetzel EI Britannia, am once again the Prime Minister of the Empire. I hope that as before, you will join me in offering your loyalty and honor to His Majesty, and protect the prosperity of the Empire together!! "
Schonetzel's declaration caused the discussion to gradually stop.
But in private, the nobles were communicating with each other with various looks.
Especially among certain groups.
"Hum!!"
The buzzing sound of some kind of device being activated gradually filled the room, adding a hint of strangeness to the dimly lit room.
At the same time, a hazy silhouette stepped into the room, stepping on the increasingly low buzzing sound.
He raised his head and looked around the dark room, but didn't seem to find anything.
Then, he sighed slightly.
This was the first night since Schonetzel returned to the top of the Empire as the Prime Minister of the Empire.
It was likely that this would be a sleepless night for the ministers and nobles of the Britannia Empire.
"You're panicking."
A voice came from the darkness.
Then, a light came from above, illuminating a certain area in the darkness.
Under the white light, there was a man in a well-ironed suit with a tie clip with a purple flying bird pattern on the bottom of his tie. He wore a pair of white glasses on his face, and there was also a flying bird pattern on his forehead.
The flustered man raised his head slightly and looked at the Flying Bird Masked Man who had appeared under the light.
"I'm panicking! After all, Schnauzer is already kneeling before Her Majesty the Empress' throne. "
"Yes! I didn't expect Her Majesty to act so quickly. "
"Pa!"
Another light came on.
A woman in a long red dress, revealing her smooth shoulders, but her delicate face was mostly covered by an exquisite and gorgeous feather mask, chuckled as she spoke her opinion.
"This also means that the cute little guy has succeeded, doesn't it?"
"Ma 'am. We have no way of knowing what happened to the prince. Even if we have full confidence in Lolo's GEASS. "
The flying bird masked man looked at the lady in the red dress and voiced his doubts.
"Is that so? Then, Cornelia has been removed from the position of Prime Minister of the Empire, and has been temporarily appointed as the commander of the Royal Guard Knight Regiment. Doesn't this prove something? "
The lady in the red dress chuckled, and spoke of another piece of evidence.
This time, the flying bird masked man had nothing to say.
Euphemia's maneuver not only pulled out Schnauzer, who had been in seclusion for a long time, but also stabilized the Royal Guard Knight Regiment that had almost fallen into chaos in the blink of an eye.
Dare I ask, in the entire Britannia Empire, apart from the prince, who else could suppress those red-shouldered Knights?
There was no one else, only the Empire's Valkyrie Cornelia Li Britannia.
"Then, why didn't Lolo come back?"
Looking at the argument between the flying bird masked man and the lady in the red dress, the man in the shadows sighed.
This was indeed the most crucial question.
If the assassination of the prince had really succeeded, then Lolo, who possessed the unimaginable power of GEASS, should have returned to the organization long ago.
Why was it that even now, when Euphemia had used thunderous methods to suppress the hidden danger that was about to erupt in the blink of an eye, they still hadn't received any news from Lolo?
"That little fellow … could it be … that he's already gone?"
The lady in the red dress was silent for a moment, and then asked the question that the three people present were unable to accept.
Lolo, who possessed the power of GEASS to stop the time of his target, naturally could easily escape if he wanted to. On the other hand, if he wanted to kill his target, it would be as easy as taking a stroll in the park, and he would be able to complete the mission just by walking past his target.
With such a strange and powerful power protecting him, how could Lolo not appear until now?
"Lolo's power … isn't omnipotent."
At this moment, the flying bird masked man sighed, and spoke of the fatal flaw of Lolo's GEASS.
"Lolo's GEASS can indeed stop the time of his target, but what about those outside the target? For example, what about the snipers lurking outside the venue, monitoring the situation in the surroundings? You must know that we've already done our best to send Lolo into the reserve force of the royal guard regiment. "
"Then, Lolo has already failed? In other words, that prince didn't suffer any injuries at all? "
The lady in the red dress seemed to be somewhat impatient.
"No. I don't know. Her Majesty's thunderous methods are too shocking, and we still haven't seen any flaws. "
The flying bird masked man sighed, and then made another suggestion.
"I wonder if we can request to see Her Majesty? Her Majesty has already grown too much, and is no longer that simple little princess in our memories. "
His words received the lady in the red dress' approval, and they both looked at the man standing in the shadows.
Under the gazes of the two, the man in the shadows shook his head slightly, and said regretfully:
"Her Majesty already knows about the current situation. However, Her Majesty's injuries are too severe, and she can't meet guests for the time being. But please be at ease! Her Majesty has already given instructions regarding the current situation. I believe that you will soon see Her Majesty's instructions. "
The words of the man in the shadows didn't calm the hearts of the flying bird masked man and the lady in the red dress, but only temporarily pacified the hearts of the two who had been somewhat flustered by Euphemia's thunderous methods.
But it must be known that at the beginning of the conversation, he was the one who had panicked first.
"Is that so? Then, we'll wait and see what Her Majesty's arrangements are. "
As his voice fell, the lights enveloping the flying bird masked man and the lady in the red dress extinguished one by one.
"You'll see."
Darkness once again engulfed the room, and the man's low voice lingered in the room for a long time.
A week had passed since Ray Mingkai's assassination attempt.
The reinstated Prime Minister of the Empire, Schonazel, didn't act like some outside speculations, making drastic changes to the many administrative orders left behind by Cornelia the moment he took office. Instead, he followed Cornelia's original rhythm as usual, and gradually implemented these new policies that, in the eyes of the older generation of nobles, were undoubtedly cutting meat from their bodies.
For a moment, the older generation of nobles who originally thought that Schonazel's return to office would be able to fight for the benefits of their old generation of nobles, were filled with complaints.
But these mockery and criticism didn't attract Schonazel's attention.
He continued to do as he pleased, and continued to implement the new policies that, on the surface, were Cornelia's, but were actually implemented by Euphemia's orders.
"Your Majesty. Schonazel is implementing the new policies according to plan. Is this really alright? "
In the palace garden, Cornelia, who had changed out of her martial attire and wore a rare court dress, sat in front of Euphemia, and reported on the progress of Schonazel's work this week.
"Royal sister. In private, there's no need to be obsessed with how you address me. Just call me by my name like before. "
Euphemia first corrected Cornelia's way of addressing her, then continued, "I'm not sure how to address you.
"Schonazel is very smart. Even though I didn't explain anything, he already knows most of the truth. Thus, he can be trusted. At least for now. "
Cornelia frowned.
Schonazel was the most outstanding prince among the many heirs of the previous Emperor Charles, and his abilities were definitely trustworthy. But in terms of loyalty, Cornelia didn't trust this former second prince too much.
After all, in the eyes of many nobles, Euphemia's rise to the throne was all due to external help, and not the approval of the Empire's noble system.
"Does Schonazel know about the prince's situation?"
"I'm afraid he's already guessed. But he didn't show any intention of asking. "
Euphemia thought back to her meeting with Schonetzel this week. Every time, Schonetzel would appear in a businesslike manner, and leave as soon as he was done with his business. He didn't drag his feet at all.
"It seems that Schonazel is also waiting."
Cornelia thought for a moment, and finally came up with this answer.
"Perhaps!"
As the central figure of this assassination, Ray Mingkai could only temporarily stay in the Royal Guard Knight's encampment, waiting for something to happen.
Before that, apart from being tied down by a long backlog of official business, Ray Mingkai was dragged by the excited Lloyd to the development center of the Royal Guard Knight's encampment to watch a program.
"Your Highness! I didn't expect you to bring back something good from your trip! I even brought back the Free Gao Da for you!! "
The excited Lloyd pointed at the Free Gao Da placed beside the Inferno Magic Sword and shouted.
"Cough! Calm down! Lloyd. You know the Free Gao Da? "
Ray Mingkai knew very well why Lloyd was so excited. But when he saw how familiar Lloyd was with the Free Gao Da's equipment, Ray Mingkai was very surprised.
"Of course! You should know that in this period of time, apart from developing new technology, I've also been going to the world known as the Steel Pula to take a look. Your Highness, look, this is the Free Gao Da I made! "
Lloyd cracked his fingers, then patted his head. He reached into his pocket and took out a Steel Pula.
It was the Steel Pula body that was redesigned with the Free Gao Da as the prototype!!
