Royal carriage.
This ceremony, which had been of great diplomatic importance in the past, had been left aside at Euphemia's accession, and was seldom used.
In the eyes of some nobles who valued tradition, this Empress who gradually displayed her power was betraying the Empire's traditions.
But on this day, the nobles who woke up from the shadow of the assassination that shrouded the Imperial Capital suddenly saw a carriage with the Imperial Royal Insignia slowly driving along the main road of the Imperial Capital towards the Imperial Palace in the distance, under the protection of the Imperial Royal Guard's Knights.
In an instant, the shocked nobles sought answers from their own sources.
In the end, they were depressed, but also seemed to be filled with a trace of unfathomable hope.
It was a diplomatic ambassador from the Abro Economic Circle.
In this gloomy moment in the Imperial Capital, he was summoned by the Empress sitting high on the throne. Furthermore, she used such a traditional but extremely ostentatious method to announce it to the world.
"I'm afraid that from now on, the entire Imperial Capital will be stirred up by this small carriage!"
Lacus, who had put down the curtains covering the window, retracted her gaze from the outside world, and looked at Gudelia, who was sitting opposite her and seemed to be a little uneasy.
"Why? Gudelia. I haven't seen you for a while, but you've become a little hesitant. "
Gudelia, who was a little uneasy, crossed her arms and twisted her fingers. She subconsciously glanced at He Meimei and He Meimei sitting next to her and asked softly,
"Lady Lacus, thank you very much for your help! You brought me to meet Her Majesty, but I don't know what Lady Lacus thinks of this incident … "
Looking at the uneasy Gudelia, Lacus couldn't help but chuckle.
It seemed that this prince assassination not only affected the Empire, but also other visitors who came to visit the Empire.
This might be an accident.
But it was indeed a necessary accident.
After leaving the throne, He Meimei and Gudelia didn't immediately head to the Imperial Palace. Instead, they used the identity of Abro's diplomatic ambassador to find Gudelia, who was feeling uneasy in the embassy, and invited her to the Imperial Palace.
On this basis, he also reminded Olga to give his subordinates some free time to do their own things.
Olga was very confused about this.
In his opinion, after such a serious assassination, the imperial capital would be under martial law for some time.
Under this layer of relationship, these unrelated diplomatic missions should put away their mentality and wait for the next news in the embassy.
There was nothing wrong with Olga's choice. It was just that she was somewhat constrained.
This was not in line with the current situation, nor was it in line with Her Majesty's expectations, nor was it in line with a certain someone's thoughts.
However, even though she was confused, Olga still accepted Lux's suggestion after thinking for a while.
Thus, after Gudelia boarded the royal carriage carrying Lacus and He Meimei, Sino's group quickly received permission to leave.
"Are you talking about Kai's assassination?"
When Lux mentioned that matter, she didn't seem as anxious as Gudelia had expected. Instead, she seemed unbelievably relaxed.
"Yes."
Gudelia was stunned for a moment before she nodded subconsciously.
"I've already heard from Mei Mei about the assassination attempt on Guy. However, I don't think Guy is the kind of person who would be easily assassinated by despicable thieves. "
Lux's words revealed her strong trust in Ray Mingkai, making Gudelia speechless for a moment.
"Miss Gudelia. Are you trying to say that if Ray Mingkai wasn't injured or even killed in the assassination attempt, then what's up with the Royal Guard Knight Corps standing on the street? "
At this moment, He Meimei exposed Gudelia's thoughts.
"Ah … Yes."
Gudelia nodded instinctively.
However, she didn't expect He Nana, who was hugging a plush doll, to retort when she nodded.
"Teacher, didn't you say that Gudelia was by your side for a period of time? Why didn't you see that? "
"Eh? Teacher?! "
Seeing the shock on Gudelia's face, Lux smiled gently.
"Yes, Mei Mei and Nana were by my side for a period of time."
"But … But …"
Gudelia's doubts deepened.
From the looks of it, Lux was only 15 to 16 years old, and He Meimei was the same.
He Meimei and Nana were so close to their age, yet they called her teacher?
This question, He Meimei and He Nana naturally wouldn't be courting death by answering.
On the other hand, Lux gently changed the topic.
"Look! We've arrived at the palace. If you have any questions, you can ask after seeing Her Majesty the Empress. "
The huge palace gates slowly opened.
The guards on both sides of the road stood straight, displaying their proudest and most confident posture in front of the visitors.
This was a moderately large demonstration of strength.
At the end of the road, among the crowd in the vast Royal Square, there was the Empress wearing a crown and the Empire's Second Princess, who was in military uniform and temporarily took over the Royal Guard Knight Corps.
Looking at the slowly approaching carriage, the Empire's Second Princess Cornelia moved her lips and looked at her younger sister, the current Empire's Empress Euphemia, but she didn't say a word.
"Royal Sister. If you have something to say, just say it. There are no outsiders here. "
Euphemia naturally noticed her sister's gaze.
Moreover, after she spoke, the attendants standing behind them all took a few steps back, giving the two royal sisters some private space to talk.
Cornelia was a little hesitant, but she still sighed.
"Although I didn't feel anything before, don't you feel that there are more people?"
"People?"
Euphemia froze for a moment, then chuckled.
"Is that so? I still feel that there are fewer people. "
"Uffi, you …"
Before Cornelia could finish her words, a stream of light descended from the void, and a dreamy figure appeared beside Euphemia.
Vervian, who had long pink hair but was tied up high, had changed into a Chinese-style cheongsam and came here to welcome the arrival of that person together with Euphemia.
"Uffi, she's here!"
"En."
The royal carriage ostentatiously made a trip down the imperial capital's main road, and the waves it caused became more and more tumultuous.
"What does that Her Majesty the Empress want to do? Not only did she not give the order to thoroughly investigate the assassination, she instead swaggered to meet that diplomatic group?! "
It was still that dusky room.
It was still the same three people.
The topic was still about the assassination of Ray Mingkai.
Only, this time, the atmosphere between the three people did indeed have a slight change.
"Are you afraid? Or should I say that cute little fellow hasn't been caught? "
The lady in the red dress waved the fan in her hand, the corners of her mouth slightly raised as she spoke.
In her opinion, Her Majesty the Empress' insignificant, yet extremely ostentatious actions were just a show of strength.
"Is it possible that Luoluo is hiding somewhere in the palace?"
The Flying Bird Masked Man proposed a hypothesis.
If after Luoluo failed to assassinate Ray Mingkai, he wasn't caught and turned to hide in the palace, then Her Majesty the Empress' sudden ostentatious actions could be explained.
"You're saying that Her Majesty the Empress wants to use herself as bait to lure Luoluo into the trap?"
The man standing in the shadows sneered.
"What a joke! That Her Majesty the Empress disgracefully seized the power of CODE from His Majesty. Naturally, she wouldn't fear Luoluo's GEASS. No matter how terrifying Luoluo's GEASS is, it wouldn't be able to affect the Empress who has the power of CODE. "
Pausing, the man sneered again.
"You must know that our Her Majesty the Empress isn't a naive, cute, and weak woman. She's the" Iron Lady "who killed her father to seize the throne!"
"Then why do you think that Her Majesty's actions are for? If she didn't give the order to thoroughly investigate the assassination, and only placed the Royal Guard Knight Regiment inside and outside the imperial capital, what is the purpose of this? "
The lady in the red dress' right hand that was waving the fan paused as she raised a rather sharp question.
"Wait. That Her Majesty the Empress is waiting. Just like a puppet sitting on the throne of the Empire's Prime Minister, Schonetzel, waiting. "
The words of the man in the shadows made the Flying Bird Masked Man somewhat puzzled.
"Wait? What are they waiting for? "
"Of course, they're waiting for an opportunity to change the situation!"
The man in the shadows sneered again and again.
"Although this is a safe and feasible method, that Her Majesty is waiting like this. She's missed a great opportunity. Originally, we were worried that Luoluo's assassination would lead to Her Majesty the Empress targeting all the nobles of the Empire. "
"But we overestimated Her Majesty the Empress's decisiveness and unyieldingness. But this is inevitable! Even when Her Majesty was still here, it would be difficult for her to carry out a forceful bloodbath against the increasingly bloated and intertwined nobles. "
"If that's really the case, wouldn't we have the initiative?"
The lady in the red dress' eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was imagining something.
"No, not yet! We still don't know if Luoluo is still alive. "
The Flying Bird Masked Man interrupted the lady in the red dress' fantasy.
However,
In the next moment, a voice appeared, but it made the three of them stare blankly at first, then kneel on the ground with faces full of pleasant surprise.
"There's no need to worry about this! Luoluo, my loyal servant, he's still alive! He's somewhere in the imperial palace! "
"Your Majesty!! You've already completely recovered?! "
The man kneeling in the shadows raised his head in extreme pleasant surprise and looked in the direction of the voice, but he could only see that in the darkness, there seemed to be a figure that was like an iron tower.
Just like the figure standing on the supreme throne back then, he was as imposing as the figure standing on the supreme throne.
