Hanging high on the wall, under the bright red curtain that hung down from the top, there were even more bright red flowers that looked like fresh blood.
In front of this dazzling bright red was a middle-aged man with a burly body like an iron tower.
Although his face had become younger, as long as the people of the Britannia Empire saw the face that could be recognized at a glance, they would immediately blurt out a name.
"Charles DI Britannia!"
In fact, some of the stubborn old emperor's faction would even subconsciously chant the slogan that had long been outlawed.
"Long live Emperor Charles!"
"Long live Britannia!"
In fact, the moment this face appeared on the screen, the voice-over shouting the same slogan had already become the main melody outside the screen.
For a while,
And another,
Like a monstrous wave, swept towards the ears of the people who were watching the face.
"Humans are not born equal!"
In the monstrous cries, the towering figure standing under the huge statue slowly opened his mouth.
The familiar face, the familiar tone, and even the familiar choice of words instantly proved that it was him.
Holy Britannia Empire, 98th Emperor Charles DI Britannia!!
In an instant, the nobles standing in the audience all focused their eyes on the man standing under the throne.
Before the current Empress Euphemia Li Britannia ascended the throne, it was he who first announced the disappearance (death) of the 98th Emperor Charles and led the nobles to present the Empress Euphemia with the supreme power of the empire.
"Holy Britannia Empire, 98th Emperor Charles DI Britannia's death, I witnessed it with my own eyes. In the name of Britannia, I also swear on my soul! "
The man standing under the throne said calmly and firmly.
He was not swayed by the gazes of the nobles at all.
Nor was he swayed by the towering figure that appeared on the screen surrounded by thunderous cries.
"Prime Minister, you don't have to be so solemn. In fact, I also witnessed the death of the late Emperor. However, the difference between me and the prime minister is that I witnessed the death of the late Emperor elsewhere. "
On the throne.
Euphemia calmly watched every move on the screen.
This was a scene that suddenly happened when the Imperial Capital was about to quell the effects of the rebellion of the Knight of the Round Table.
The moment an unknown signal appeared, it hijacked all the satellite channels of the Britannia Empire and simultaneously transmitted such a video.
The man who claimed to be the 98th Emperor of the Holy Britannia Empire stood in front of the stage and loudly announced the crimes committed by Euphemia.
The most serious and fatal crime was patricide.
The moment this accusation was announced, it wasn't hard to imagine how the Britannia Empire would react and how it would shake the empire.
This was because Ray Mingkai could tell from the subconscious reactions of the officials and nobles that this so-called crime had been confirmed by everyone.
Ray Mingkai raised his foot, but was stopped by Euphemia.
"Uffi."
Ray Mingkai looked over and saw Euphemia gently shaking her head.
There was a tacit understanding between the two of them.
Ray Mingkai frowned, but Euphemia didn't back down.
"Leave it to me!"
Euphemia said with her eyes.
Ray Mingkai sighed silently and immediately retracted his foot. He took half a step to the side and stood closer to Euphemia.
Seeing this, Euphemia smiled gently at Ray Mingkai. The moment her gentle eyes left Ray Mingkai, they became abnormally firm, fearless, and without regret.
"Everyone! Everyone understands the situation! Then, I, as the 100th Emperor of the Holy Britannia Empire, announce in the name of Euphemia Li Britania. "
The clear and melodious voice seemed to contain an irresistible power at this moment, instantly suppressing the chaos in the audience.
Her usually charming face, now as cold as ice, became the focus of all the officials and nobles.
"Citizens of the Holy Britannia Empire! This person is not the 98th Emperor Charles Di Britannia that you all know! His appearance is only to satisfy the ambitions of some people who want to seize the Empire!! "
"But … but, Your Majesty, that … that is …"
When the doubtful voices came from below, Euphemia sneered and interrupted the doubts from the officials and nobles.
"But what? Just because this person said everything that you all know, the inside story that no one knows, you all so easily recognized his identity? As an important official of the Empire, you all so easily believe a stranger and question the Emperor that you are loyal to without any reason!! "
Euphemia didn't continue with the following words.
But among the officials, there was an isolated space.
The person who questioned just now was instantly isolated by the people around him.
The cold sweat on his forehead was rapidly growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and like a waterfall, it streaked across his gradually terrified face and dripped to the ground.
Fortunately, Euphemia didn't continue to pursue the matter other than that reprimand.
Because, a figure appeared outside the door and became this unlucky guy's savior.
"Report!! Your Majesty! Urgent news! "
"Come forward and speak!"
Euphemia quickly looked up and glanced at the image on the screen, and found that there was an additional figure beside the man who called himself Charles Di Britannia.
It was an extremely familiar figure that Euphemia had once envisioned.
Mariana V. Britannia.
The enemy had already played the second card.
And the first card was that the Knight of the Round Table had all rebelled.
Under Euphemia's order, the soldier who came with the urgent report quickly stepped forward and pressed his right hand to the left side of his heart, and said a piece of news that terrified the officials and nobles.
"Your Majesty! Rebellions are happening everywhere in the Empire. So far, the Empire's Intelligence Bureau has received information that the forts set up by the Empire in many satellite areas have fallen. And, a few minutes ago, Hadrian Fort, which is hundreds of kilometers away from the Empire, also fell!! "
"What!?"
In an instant, a huge buzz broke out in the audience that had just been intimidated by Euphemia's pressure.
This was shock!
They were also panicked, terrified, and even confused by the shocking changes that were happening in the Empire at the moment.
What's more, perhaps they had already begun to plot in their hearts how to preserve their status and wealth when the next emperor ascended the throne when the new emperor faction led by Euphemia fell.
Ray Mingkai could clearly see the faces below.
"Kai."
At this time, Euphemia softly called out to Ray Mingkai.
Ray Mingkai didn't hesitate and strode past Euphemia. He walked down from the throne and stood in front of the soldier who brought the news of the rebellion.
"Get up! Soldier, you've completed your mission! Now, go down! Get ready for a new battle! "
Ray Mingkai's voice wasn't loud.
But it made the surrounding discussion quiet down.
Ray Mingkai's words were clearly heard by the officials and nobles.
"Battle."
A simple but far-reaching word that could determine the life and death of tens of millions of people, or even hundreds of millions of people, had become a taboo word at this moment.
"Ta, Ta, Ta …"
Light footsteps sounded from the side of the throne.
A white court dress,
Long blonde hair,
A familiar yet unfamiliar delicate face,
The figure that appeared next to the throne, standing in Ray Mingkai's original position, was the clerk of Empress Euphemia in her capacity as Queen Visser.
Her appearance was a matter of course, but it was also unexpected.
Of course, as a clerk, she should be there.
Surprisingly, as a civil official, Eseyram was holding a long sword that was made of gold and decorated with a gorgeous pattern of azure stripes.
Euphemia's gaze swept past the long sword and stared at Ray Mingkai standing below.
"Kai, this sword is called Excalibur!!"
Excalibur。
The name of the long sword that Eseylam presented was actually this name!
The meaning of Euphemia's words was already clear.
Ray Mingkai had no reason to refuse, nor would he refuse.
So, Euphemia reached out and took Excalibur from Eseylam's hand.
Then, in a sword sound that shook the audience, she pulled out the Sword of Victory and pointed it at Ray Mingkai.
"Knight Ray Mingkai, step forward!"
Ray Mingkai raised his feet and walked to the front of the sword, facing the sharp edge of the sword.
In the eyes of the officials and nobles, this must be a ceremony where the monarch bestowed the Knight with a long sword on the eve of an expedition to show his trust.
However,
The next development made the officials and nobles' jaws drop.
Euphemia did not follow the tradition of holding the sword behind Ray Mingkai's neck. The two swords tapped lightly, and Ray Mingkai did not even kneel to the monarch.
The only thing that was similar to the sword ceremony in everyone's memory was the moment when Euphemia pulled out the sword and ordered Ray Mingkai to step forward to receive the sword.
At this moment, Euphemia ignored the panic of the crowd and turned her wrist, pointing the sword hilt at Ray Mingkai.
"Knight Ray Mingkai, from now on, as the Prince of the Empire, will be the King of Knights of the Britannia Empire, commanding the new Round Table Knights, commanding the three armies of the Empire, as if the monarch himself is present!!"
Then, Euphemia did not wait for everyone to react, and looked at Schonazel.
Schonazel, on the other hand, stepped forward swiftly and said loudly:
"Your Majesty. The Empire's newly developed aerial fortress, Damocles, has successfully gone offline. After many tests and evaluations, it has met the comprehensive requirements for actual combat. Your Majesty, please enlighten us! "
"Approved! The aerial fortress, Damocles, will be the forward base of the King of Knights, sweeping away all rebels for the Empire! "
In the year 2021 of the Empire's Imperial Calendar, a mysterious man who claimed to be the 98th Emperor, Charles DI Britannia, claimed that the current Empress of the Empire, Euphemia Li Britannia, had usurped the throne by killing her father. Therefore, he launched a war to wipe out the rebels in the name of "righteousness."
Since then, within a few hours of the flames of war, nearly half of the vast Empire's mainland and many of its satellite regions had fallen.
When the Empire was burning in the flames of war, Empress Euphemia, who was once again in the midst of a whirlpool of rebellion, once again showed her strong and decisive hand. With the sword of victory named Excalibur, she appointed Prince Ray Mingkai as the King of Knights of the Empire, established and commanded the new Round Table Knights, and launched a crusade against the rebels with the aerial fortress, Damocles, as the core.
