The huge portrait hanging high on the wall, and underneath the bright red curtain hanging from top to bottom, are even brighter flowers that look like blood.

In front of this dazzling bright red is a middle-aged man with a towering figure.

Although his face has become younger, as long as he sees that face that anyone in the Britannia Empire can recognize at a glance, he will immediately blurt out a name.

"Charles DI Brittania!"

Even some entrenched Old Emperor factions would subconsciously chant slogans that had long since been banned.

"Long live Emperor Charles!"

"Long live Brittania!"

In fact, the moment this face appeared on the screen, the voice-over chanting the same slogan had become the main theme off-screen.

for a while,

another time,

Like a monstrous wave, it swept towards the ears of the humans who were staring at that face.

"Human beings are not born equal!"

Amidst the overwhelming shouts, the figure of the Iron Tower standing under the huge statue slowly spoke.

That familiar face, familiar tone, and even familiar words instantly confirmed his presence.

Holy Britannia Empire, the 98th Emperor Charles DI Britannia!!

In an instant, the nobles, big and small, standing in the audience all focused their attention on the man standing under the throne.

Before the current Queen Euphemia Li Britannia ascended the throne, he was the first to announce the disappearance (death) of the 98th Emperor Charles, and led the officials and nobles to present a tribute to the current Queen Euphemia.

The supreme authority of the empire.

"The death of Charles DI Britannia, the 98th emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire, was witnessed by me with my own eyes. In the name of Britannia, and on my soul!"

The man standing under the throne said calmly and firmly.

He was not swayed at all by the gazes of the officials and nobles,

He was not even shaken by the figure of the Iron Tower that appeared on the screen and was surrounded by thunderous shouts.

"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 watched every move on the screen with a calm face.

This was a scene that suddenly happened when the imperial capital was about to put down the impact of the rebellion of the Knights of the Round Table.

The moment an unknown signal appeared, it hijacked all the satellite channels of the Britannia Empire and simultaneously sent such a video.

The man who claimed to be the 98th Emperor of the Holy Empire of Britannia stood in front of the stage and loudly announced the crimes Euphemia had committed.

Among them, the most serious and fatal crime is patricide.

At the moment when this accusation was heard, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of reverberation and shock there would be throughout the Britannia Empire.

Because, just by looking at the subconscious reactions of the officials and nobles in front of him, Lei Mingkai knew that this so-called crime had been confirmed by everyone.

Lei Mingkai raised his steps, but was stopped by Euphemia.

"Yuffie."

Lei Mingkai looked over and found that Euphemia just shook her head gently.

There is a good understanding between the two of them.

Lei Mingkai frowned, but Euphemia did not give in at all.

"Leave it to me!"

Euphemia's eyes said so.

Lei Mingkai sighed silently, then retracted his forward steps, but moved half a step sideways, standing closer to Euphemia.

Seeing this, Euphemia smiled softly at Lei Mingkai. The moment she left Lei Mingkai, her gentle eyes became extremely firm, fearless, and without regrets!

"My lords! Everyone understands the situation! Then, I make an announcement in the name of Euphemia LI Britannia, the 100th emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire."

The clear and sweet voice seemed to contain irresistible power at this moment, instantly suppressing the chaos in the audience.

That face that used to be charming but now as cold as ice has also become the focus of hundreds of officials and nobles.

"People of the Holy Empire of Britannia! This man is not the 98th Emperor Charles DI Britannia as you know him! His appearance is just to satisfy the desires of some unscrupulous people.

Ambition to seize the empire!!"

"But...but, Your Majesty, that...that is..."

When there were doubtful voices below, Euphemia sneered and interrupted the questions coming from the officials and nobles.

"But what? Just because this man keeps telling you everything you know and the inside story that you don't know, you so easily identify with his identity? As an important minister of the empire, how can you trust a stranger so easily?

And question the monarch you are loyal to for no reason!!"

Euphemia did not continue what she said next.

But among the hundreds of officials, there is already an isolated space.

The person who had just raised the question was instantly isolated by the people around him.

The cold sweat on his forehead grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and flowed across his increasingly frightened face like a waterfall, dripping to the ground.

Fortunately, Euphemia had no intention of pursuing further except for that scolding.

Because, a figure appeared outside the door and became this unfortunate guy's rescuer.

"Report!! Your Majesty! Urgent news!"

"Come forward and speak!"

Euphemia raised her eyes quickly, glanced at the picture on the screen, and discovered that there was an additional figure next to the man who claimed to be Charles DI Brittania.

A very familiar figure who had once been admired by Euphemia.

Marianne V`Britannia.

The enemy's card has been played for the second time.

The first one shows the rebellion of all the Knights of the Round Table.

Under Euphemia's order, the soldiers who came with the urgent report quickly stepped forward, put their right hand on the left side of their heart, and spoke in a trembling voice a piece of news that frightened all the officials and nobles.

"Your Majesty! Rebellions are happening everywhere in the empire. So far, the Imperial Intelligence Bureau has received information about the fall of the fortresses set up by the empire in many satellite areas. Moreover, a few minutes ago, several hundred kilometers away from the imperial capital,

Hadrian's Fortress also fell!!"

"What!?"

In an instant, a huge buzzing sound erupted again in the audience who had just been shocked by Euphemia's coercion.

This is shocking!

It is also the panic, fear, and even confusion shown by the sudden changes taking place in the empire.

What's more, I am afraid that I have already begun to plan in my mind how to maintain my status and wealth when the next emperor comes to power when the new emperor's faction headed by Euphemia collapses.

Lei Mingkai could clearly see the faces below.

"Kay."

At this time, Euphemia called Lei Mingkai softly.

Lei Mingkai did not hesitate, but strode past Euphemia, stepped down from the throne step by step, and stood in front of the soldier who brought the news of the rebellion.

"Get up! Soldier, you have completed your mission! Now, get down! Get ready for new battles!"

Lei Mingkai's voice was not loud.

But it silenced the surrounding discussions.

All the officials and nobles heard Lei Mingkai's words clearly.

"fighting."

A simple but far-reaching word that can determine the lives and deaths of tens of millions of people, even hundreds of millions of people, has become a forbidden word at this moment.

"Ta, tap..."

Slight footsteps sounded from the side of the throne.

white palace dress,

Long golden hair rolled up,

Familiar yet unfamiliar delicate faces,

The figure who appeared next to the throne, standing in Remingkai's original position, was Aeselam, who served as Queen Euphemia's secretary as Queen Visser.

Her appearance was natural, but also unexpected.

It stands to reason that as the secretary, she should be there.
