Above the imperial capital, the sky fortress Damocles was the center of attention.
The scene of the sword exchange during the audience had already spread throughout the entire Imperial Capital.
In this moment when the empire was burning with the flames of rebellion, Ray Mingkai, who had met the third princess Euphemia Li Britania as a commoner, and since then had gone through life and death together to reach the pinnacle of power in the empire, was standing on the observation deck of the sky fortress Damocles, overlooking the imperial capital below.
From the moment he received the blade of the Sword of Victory from Euphemia, this sky fortress that Schonazel had built with his life's work had become one of the symbols of the Knight King, Ray Mingkai.
Although this was a little unfair to Schonazel who had built it.
But for Schonazel, this was the best outcome.
The sky fortress Damocles was the product of Schonazel's determination to fight for the throne.
If Schonazel had continued to hide and maintain this huge sky fortress while Euphemia was firmly on the throne, even if this rebellion had occurred, it would have been used as a sacrifice by Euphemia to purge the empire of internal chaos.
After all, since the previous emperor, the most qualified and capable person in the Britannia Empire to question Euphemia's position was only Schonazel, who had been in charge of the empire's internal affairs for a long time during Charles' time.
While he was thinking, familiar footsteps came from behind.
"Your Highness. Princess Shyamna has woken up. "
The person who had come was Viretta Nu, whose status had risen along with the Knight's Crown on Ray Mingkai's head.
"Is that so? Then it's time to meet the princess who is about to bring us crucial information about this rebellion. "
Ray Mingkai nodded slightly. Just as he was about to step down from the observation deck, he saw a longsword hanging on a bookcase in the room.
It was the exclusive sword of the new round table Knight.
Under Euphemia's orders, the Imperial craftsmen had created this sword with reference to the Sword of Victory.
"Viretta, take that sword with you! Our fourth Knight might be here soon. "
This was the fourth saber that Ray Mingkai had personally gifted to him after he had taught him the sword.
Other than that, there were also the three swords that had already been given out.
The first was Ziligu Chubby, who had taken over the position of Round Table Knight of the Britannia Empire from Ray Mingkai.
From Ray Mingkai's point of view, Qiligu deserved the title of the strongest Knight of the Round Table!
Moreover, in a certain sense, Ray Mingkai felt that he had mistreated Qiligu.
However, in the face of the sword and status that Ray Mingkai had personally given him, Qiligu's first reaction was not to accept it, but to look at Ray Mingkai in confusion.
Since Ray Mingkai had brought Qiligu, Fiana, and Titania back to the Britannia Empire, their lives had been turbulent. However, for the three of them who were no longer subject to the "curse" of their original world, it was already a rare peaceful life.
Compared to Qiligu's rare confusion, Fiana, who entered and left the palace as the head of the Empress' guards, and Titania, who was the deputy chief instructor of the Knight Regiment, were much more straightforward.
"Your Highness. Qiligu might have been too focused on training the new recruits. That's why he didn't react in time. "
After receiving the swords that symbolized the second and third Knight of the round table from Ray Mingkai, Fiana and Titania spoke in unison to defend Qiligu.
Seeing this scene, not only did Ray Mingkai not care, but he was also happy to see it happen.
Qiligu, who was destined to be alone for the rest of his life, had his fate changed in the end.
Of course.
This topic was a bit off topic.
Right now, he still had to personally visit Princess Shyamna, who had been transferred to the Sky Fortress, Damocles, and Shario, who had been guarding by her side, waiting for Shyamna to wake up.
Leaving the upper section of the observation deck, Ray Mingkai and Viretta walked along the corridor that led to the residential area. Soon, they arrived at a garden that was deliberately designed when the Sky Fortress was built.
Around this garden, there were various residential areas that were designed independently with the former as the core.
There was a residential area for the middle and high-level commanders who were responsible for commanding the huge Sky Fortress, as well as a residential area for entertaining guests.
Above these two areas, there was an independent residential area that was designed and built according to the living standards of the Britannia Empire's royal family.
"Sigh. Viretta. What do you think Schonetzel was thinking when he built this Sky Fortress? "
Standing on the platform in the center of the garden, Ray Mingkai's words made Viretta speechless.
Perhaps in her heart, she also had the same thoughts as Ray Mingkai, but because of her identity, Viretta did not dare to speak out.
Ray Mingkai did not care much about this.
After all, even if Viretta was dead set on following him, she could not change the fact that she came from a deep-rooted noble family.
"Your Highness. You're here! Sister has woken up! "
Before Ray Mingkai and Viretta walked into Shyamna's residential area, Shario took the initiative to welcome them.
"Shario, you've recovered?"
Looking at Shario who was happy because of Shyamna's awakening, Ray Mingkai nodded in satisfaction.
If this young ruler of a country had not recovered, he would not have given him the fourth Knight of the Round Table's sword.
"Yes! Thanks to His Majesty and Your Highness' concern, my injuries are no longer a problem! Also, sister has woken up. Please come with me! Your Highness. "
For some reason, Ray Mingkai felt that Shario's attitude was somewhat strange.
"Your Highness. Lord Shario saw the entire battle between you and the Knight of the Round Table. "
Standing behind Ray Mingkai, Viretta, who was holding her sword, softly reminded Ray Mingkai.
Only then did Lei Mingkai come to a realization.
It turned out that Shario had been nagging about defeating the strongest person in the world, ZERO, to prove that he was the strongest person in the world.
In this world, ZERO was already a thing of the past.
Instead, it was Ray Mingkai, the Empire's Prince who defeated the Knight of the Round Table by himself.
Thinking of this, Ray Mingkai could not help but smile.
This could be considered as fate making fools of people!
"Your Highness, I've heard about what happened. Thank you for saving my life, Your Highness! "
The moment she saw Shyamuna, the princess with the ability to reverse death immediately expressed her gratitude.
However, Lei Mingkai was well aware of the situation.
"No! You're welcome. Princess Shyamna. I've already understood the actual situation! Now, you should have already guessed what I want to know. "
Ray Mingkai indicated that Shyamna did not need to be so courteous.
These things were not important to Ray Mingkai.
"Yes! Then, let's begin reporting our findings to His Highness! "
Divine Wood Island.
No.
According to Shyamna's description, it seemed to be closer to the Deity Root Island in Ray Mingkai's memory.
When the exploration team led by Shyamna and her brother went deep into the ruins, they were attacked by the Church.
Judging from the intensity of the attack, it was not the remaining forces that Shyamna and her brother had guessed. It was more like the powerful forces that the Church had at their peak.
It was not an army formed by ordinary people.
Instead, it was a terrifying army formed by modified humans who had a complete artificial GEASS.
Although their GEASs were not outstanding among the many GEASs, they displayed overwhelming power in a face-to-face battle. They easily killed the brave and skilled Kyrkstan soldiers.
Until the last Kyrkstan soldier died in battle, Shyamna and her brother, who were protected by their lives, finally escaped from the Deity Root Island. Shyamna began a journey of frantically backtracking between life and death until she rushed to the vicinity of the Imperial Capital, where she was rescued by Ray Mingkai with the Flaming Demonic Sword.
"Artificial GEASS?"
The information that Shyamna brought was unexpected, but it was also within reason.
What Ray Mingkai did not expect was that after killing Charles in World C, he and Euphemia had considered the risks brought by the Church and sent the exploration team led by Shyamna and her brother. However, they still underestimated the power of the Church hidden in the shadows of history.
"In fact, before Princess Shyamna and her brother came to the Imperial Capital, I had already encountered an assassination attempt by an artificial GEASS. Of course, in terms of results, they did not pose a threat to me. "
After Ray Mingkai estimated in his heart, he raised his hand and motioned for Viretta to bring up the sword.
As soon as she saw the sword that Viretta handed to Ray Mingkai, Shyamna understood what Ray Mingkai meant.
"Shalio. Kneel! "
Although Shalio was confused, he still knelt to Ray Mingkai out of trust for Shyamna.
"Clang!"
As the sound of the sword rang, the bone-chilling blade slashed across Shalio's neck.
"Shario, I'm not going to waste my breath on this nonsense! But from now on, you are the Britannia Empire's Freshman Knight of the Round Table, the Fourth Knight. From now on, this sword belongs to you! "
As the sword rang, Shalio, who was kneeling in front of Ray Mingkai, instinctively grabbed the hilt of the sword that Ray Mingkai handed to him.
Seeing that her brother did not react in time, Shyamna sighed inwardly, got up, and knelt beside Shalio.
"Your Highness. Please forgive my foolish younger brother! "
"Princess Shyamna, you're exaggerating! From Shalio's previous performance, it is enough to prove that he is qualified to become a member of the Empire's Freshman Knight of the Round Table. "
After a pause, Ray Mingkai sighed helplessly.
"It's a pity that the Freshman Knight of the Round Table that I was ordered to rebuild can't be present to welcome the new members."
Shyamna's spirit jolted as she seemed to have noticed something.
"Your Highness. You're saying?! "
Ray Mingkai nodded and laughed loudly.
"Yes! That's right! Princess Shyamna, you're right! Other than the Second Knight staying in the Imperial Capital to protect Her Majesty, the First Knight, Ziliku Chubby, and the Third Knight, Titania, have each led a team of Royal Guard Knights on an expedition. "
"What about me?"
Shalio, who had finally recovered from the surprise of being bestowed the title of Fourth Knight, looked at Ray Mingkai with longing in his eyes. He hoped that Ray Mingkai would give the order for him, the new Fourth Knight, to lead the Royal Guard Knight on an expedition.
"Fourth Paladin, come with me to Hadrian's Stronghold to fight the rebels!"
