Chapter 201 A Celebration in the Shade
Imperial City, Titania.
The heavy gates depicting goblins, flowers, and big trees slowly opened, and guards in capes walked out of the city and stood on both sides of the city gate avenue, majestic and powerful.
In the morning fog, one after another messenger sent news from the south, and the mood inside the imperial capital also changed.
"This day has come."
Lily sat in the courtyard garden of the Rose Palace, looking at the letter just delivered, then raised her head and looked at the sky in the south.
It is not that she is ignorant of the internal problems of the empire, but such rules and traditions have been handed down and passed down for nearly a thousand years, and it is not something that a vase queen like her can easily interfere with.
Those greedy nobles are certainly damaging the national strength, but if they are eliminated, the country may cease to exist, because the establishment of the empire stems from the oaths and agreements made by the king and those vassals in the early years. .
This is the power base of the emperor and the royal family. If it is broken, it will only lead to a tsunami of doubts and divisions.
"I can only do what I do." Putting the letter on her skirt, Lily closed her eyes and whispered.
After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the sleeping child beside her.
This is her and Aymank's child, who is only two years old and has trouble walking.
"Grow up quickly, mother may not be able to protect you for too long." She stroked the child gently, then rubbed her tender cheek.

"waste!"
On the other side of the court, the Regent Edron was sitting at the table in the study, while the ground was sprinkled with broken pieces of porcelain and letter paper. This man, who had always been calm, was now unable to suppress his emotions.
The new-style legion, which he spent years and carefully built, is now defeated by the insurgent army that has just been established for less than a year. Even though there are thousands of reasons for this, it is unacceptable.
I am afraid that in the near future, those big nobles who are watching a good show will secretly laugh at it. Edron thought irritably.
In order to make the hierarchy of the empire flow and replace the rotten old nobles, he has offended many people over the years. He used to be suppressed by the strength of the military. I'd say you're nothing more than that, 'Usurper'.
This is the title given to him secretly by some great nobles, because the coup d'état back then was too sudden, and there were a lot of doubts. If it wasn't for the sudden change in the world, everyone would temporarily lose their extraordinary abilities, and I'm afraid some people would have come out to criticize and oppose it. .
The descendants of the previous emperor, although he and his brothers have been suppressed, hunted down, and even killed in various names over the years, there are still surviving ones.
If the opportunity is right, there is no guarantee that no one will be dissent.
The irritability in his heart could not be suppressed. The regent came to walk back and forth in the study. Sometimes he wanted to find someone to discuss and vent, but he could not find a suitable person.
If only Rock was here.
He sat on the table and chair again, looking at the bustling ceiling in the palace, thinking of this friend who was gradually estranged from him.
When he was in Emenas, he met this classmate. Although the other party was a commoner, he admired his pragmatic and capable style. When he was at school, he also joined the club together to prepare for his future career. Assistant to train.
It is a pity that for a period of time after the coup, because of his sleep, too much time was missed, and the two sides gradually drifted away.
Although Rock never told his thoughts, Edron knew in his heart that the other party was a little disappointed.
He did not appear to be a perfect monarch.
Yes, in order to maintain the stability of power, he had to use some conspiracies and tactics to remove the opposition within the empire, otherwise it would be difficult to drive this huge country.
In order to enhance his own voice and power over the empire, there are also many parts that have to be compromised.
For example, suppressing some of the original excellent people and turning to support the subordinates who are more loyal to them.
After the emotions in his heart gradually calmed down, Edron looked out the window again. The time had come to noon, and now it was early summer. The imperial capital was peaceful, as if the war-torn southern border was far away.
Yes, for those who have lived in this prosperous royal city for generations, other places are nothing but the countryside, so what does this have to do with them. As long as the glory of the empire remains, their status will always be strong and beautiful, and they don't have to worry about unnecessary things.
It was a scene of envy and hatred.
After the army of the empire was repelled for the time being, the 'Fairy Wood' organization gained rare time and confidence. Many originally neutral organizations and forces also began to send messengers to contact this new force.
In the past, many followers of the Baska family and descendants of nobles in the south also cheered and walked out of the forest again, and began to go to the side of the Red Dragon Princess, and gathered around her again.
Among such a group of people, there is no lack of knowledgeable and educated talents. Although they cannot directly enter the high-level of ‘Fairy Wood’, they also greatly fill the original vacancy.
After being educated and transformed, these people will quickly fill in the various branches as administrative staff, and master the southern border step by step as soon as possible.
Finally, to celebrate this victory and set the organization's future program,
They also decided to hold a short celebration for inspiration.
So far, the uniform of the army is also under intense production.
After a discussion, it was finally decided to use white and green as the main color, with a little red clothing as the uniform.
The sacred and white fairy tree, the life and green leaves, the attractive and delicious bright red berries, these three represent the combination of their respective colors.
Instead of the repressive temperament of pursuing chill in the past, its military uniforms use a cheerful and healthy tone, which also represents the consistent concept of 'Fairy Wood', which is open-minded and fair.
In the lively city, after months of working overtime to prepare for production, it finally ushered in a rare rest.
Everyone crowded on the side of the street, playing their own tunes, watching the neat soldiers, each with a musket on their shoulders, walking through the white stone street under the tall trees, bursts of petals falling from the air, soaring in the cheers of everyone. rotate.
On the temporarily cast viewing platform, Lottie saw that the knights in golden armor were still traveling with injuries, and wanted to stand up and let them go back, but was stopped by the girl next to her holding the palm of her hand.
"Let them come out and do some activities. This may slow the healing of the wound for a few days, but such a rare experience is what everyone yearns for." Roland Hill said softly beside Lottie.
"Everyone needs to find a new connection point, a common good memory, so that we can walk together in the future."
Many of the descendants and followers of the Baska family are nobles in the past and ancestors, but because of this, will they all be shut out?
No, no one is born right. Even if you have made mistakes in the past, as long as you work hard to redeem and save them, you may not be able to gradually change.
What kind of future is the future? Is it to treat each other's identities harshly to distinguish between opposing groups, or is it just judged by each person's actions and behaviors?
A man is not honored by his birth and status, but only by his deeds and deeds.
"We must finally discard all the prejudices of the past and create a new future."
