Successors of all mankind

"Well then, Your Highness, we've finished with official business. Please connect to the private channel; I have some personal matters I'd like to discuss with you."

Officers, soldiers, and everyone present all turned to look at Princess Emerald.

According to their understanding, the only Grand Duke in France was the Duke of Guise.

The Jade Princess's partner.

And it's a private matter, what private matter?

Under everyone's watchful eyes.

My heart started racing.

I had always thought this was just a fallacy and a lie in a book!

Realizing she might have made a mistake, Princess Emerald hurriedly lowered her head, opened her private terminal, connected to Yule's communication, and whispered:

"Okay, but wait a minute, let's go somewhere else..."

After saying that, she put down the terminal and tried her best to maintain her composure so that she could give instructions to her subordinates.

But when she looked up and realized everyone was staring at her in a daze—

An emotion I had never felt before suddenly surged up.

My cheeks gradually became hot, and my heart began to beat rapidly.

Perhaps this is what shyness is?

She was aware of all the reactions happening to her at that moment, but didn't know how to deal with them.

In the end, he could only leave without saying a word.

After watching the princess, whom they had never seen before, leave, the entire command room erupted in a frenzy.

"Did you see that? That...that person...is that really His Highness?"

"Humans above, I can't believe this!"

"Who exactly is this Grand Duke? How did he do it?!"

...

Many of them were from the royal fleet, so they knew all too well what their princess, who had always led them, was like.

She is not cruel, but she is definitely not warm either.

She was rational to the point of being cold.

At least they had never seen this prince act in a way that befitted his status as a princess or a young girl.

The command room door closed behind Princess Emerald, shutting out the incredible commotion.

She walked briskly down the corridor, the sound of her military boots striking the metal deck echoing through the narrow passage.

The pace is faster than ever before; the steps and speed, which were always so precise they never changed, are becoming longer and faster.

But she seemed completely oblivious to it.

She originally wanted to go back to her own room.

But then she suddenly realized that she seemed to have kept Yule waiting for too long.

They simply turned into an empty communications compartment.

When she stopped and looked at the terminal in her hand, she didn't know how to start speaking.

Even though it wasn't meant to keep the other person waiting, in the end, they still had to wait.

Finally, Yu Le, who had been waiting for a response indefinitely, spoke up:

"Your Highness, are you still there?"

This time, Princess Emerald finally spoke up and followed:

"Of course I am, Your Excellency. What is it?"

"Oh, let me confirm, can you make sure there are no outsiders here?"

No outsiders?

What are you trying to say?

In a state of inexplicable emotion, Princess Emerald pressed the terminal against her chest, and then, for the first time, looked around as if she were holding her mother.

"No, no one, Your Majesty."

"That's good, Your Highness. I believe you are already aware that the Church, in alliance with the rebels, has completely taken control of France's communication network."

"However, through my efforts, we have turned the tables and now have the right to communicate."

The more advanced the technology, the more important electronic warfare becomes.

A newborn child who is completely dependent on the previous civilization has no ability to resist.

After all, they were taught by AI what 0 and 1 are.

"So, Your Highness, you don't need to worry about anything. We can already say we've won. Now all that's left is to wrap things up."

Is this all?

Princess Emerald, who had been holding the terminal to her ear the whole time, paused for a rare moment.

She even subconsciously asked:

"Is that all, Your Excellency?"

Yu Le was stunned on the other end.

What do you mean by "just these"?

Isn't that enough?

Seemingly realizing the ambiguity of her words, Princess Emerald's voice hurriedly added from the other end:

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to ask... ask..."

Princess Emerald was once able to discuss her marriage with Yu Le without any concern, and Yu Le was even free to visit his mistress at will.

But now, she doesn't even know how to express her thoughts.

"It's nothing, Your Highness. I'm fine now."

After taking a deep breath, Princess Emerald, feeling that something was wrong with her, forced herself to revert to her former self.

She was frantically recalling everything her father had taught her.

But all these memories ultimately lead to entertainment.

It pointed to the pleasant smell and relaxed atmosphere surrounding him.

So, she hesitated for a moment and quietly added:

"However, please be patient, Your Majesty, I will ask you about it in person afterward!"

After saying that, Princess Emerald ended the call.

He then leaned weakly against the metal wall behind him.

She really wanted to handle her relationship with Yu Le properly, but she was increasingly at a loss as to how to deal with it all.

Leaning against the wall, she couldn't help but look in another direction.

Looking towards the other side of the strait.

At that very moment, her only friend was rushing towards her.

So...

'When I get there, maybe I should ask her what she thinks first? She definitely knows better than I do what to do.'

Princess Emerald knew very well that as princesses of divine lineage, they were not ordinary girls, but she also knew that Gold was at least closer to that title than she was.

However... we must adopt a gentler approach.

She still remembers that her only friend lost her only lover.

When she went to the Great Ruins, she always thought it was just a political marriage arranged by the other party.

But she saw something different in her eyes.

Constantine, the last emperor of Rome...

What a pity, we should have been each other's bridesmaids.

They will definitely get along well. Perhaps at the beginning, they only met each other out of necessity.

But since we can become friends, the people we choose must also understand each other's charm.

Therefore, they will become a link between the two countries, just like us.

only...

I must be very careful when I invite and ask her about it.

Perhaps this will make her a little happier?

She firmly believed that Jules was Jules and Constantine was Constantine's Emerald Princess, and she seriously considered everything for the future.

-----------------

And Bourbon II, who was the cause of all this, also received some good news.

The sage who represented the Human-Machine Cult came to him personally and told him:

"Your Majesty! I must tell you some good news that even I didn't expect!"

As he said this, the sage who had his face almost completely altered also revealed an indescribable excitement and joy.

"What makes you so happy? I'm all ears!"

Because it was such good news that even the wise man was so excited, Bourbon II was already delighted even before he heard it.

"Our envoys, two colleagues sent by the Pope to Albion, actually persuaded the King of Glory!"

Did they convince the Glory King?

After a moment of surprise, Bourbon II stood up from his seat with immense delight and said:

"The King of Glory agreed to stand by? Albion won't stand by my so-called uncle?"

It would be wonderful if Albion, as an ally, could stand idly by.

He had been worried that the other side would cross the strait to support the fake king.

The other party just stood by and watched!

Unexpectedly, the forger shook his head repeatedly and said:

“If that’s the case, then it’s hardly good news, Your Majesty.”

These words even stunned Bourbon II.

If Albion's inaction isn't really good news, then what does that mean?

The Founder did not reply. Instead, he looked around, then manipulated the mechanical arm behind him to open a bottle of fine wine and poured it onto the unremarkable smart coffee table.

In just a few seconds, the wine in both glasses was heated to the perfect temperature, resulting in the best taste.

The sage raised his cup toward Bourbon II and said:

"I rarely drink alcohol because ethanol would pollute my computing power, but now, let's raise a glass, Your Majesty, to His Majesty the Glory King who stands by your side and has sent you reinforcements!"

The King of Glory actually stood by his side and even sent reinforcements!

Bourbon II couldn't help but raise his glass towards Albion and say:

"Humanity above, I can hardly believe this is such wonderful news! Homage to the King of Glory! Homage to the eternal friendship between Albion and Francecia!"

After saying that, he drank the rare and delicious wine in one gulp.

The warm liquor brings a spicier taste, it's really intoxicating!

The sage also drank it down.

After finishing his drink, he looked approvingly at the empty glass in his hand and said:

"Perhaps appropriate indulgence will actually bring better benefits to my body?"
