Sam looked at Titania in silence, offering no explanation.

Yes, he already knew.

He knew it from the moment he came into this world and knew it was Grammer.

But he couldn't say.

Because... the time is not right.

While the problem of the insect swarm remains unresolved.

Revealing this truth prematurely will only cause greater chaos and disaster.

He needs an opportunity.

An opportunity that will allow Titania to fully awaken and gain enough power to resist.

At the same time, it can also make fireflies...

And now, that opportunity has arrived.

"Yes, I knew a long time ago," Sam replied calmly.

"You!" Titania's anger intensified.

"But I'm not looking at you as a joke," Sam said, staring into her eyes, enunciating each word clearly. "What I see is a soul imprisoned in a golden cage."

"An empress who yearns for freedom but is bound by lies and fate."

Titania was stunned.

"What...do you mean?"

"It means that from the moment you learned the truth and became angry about it, you were no longer the manipulated puppet 'Empress'."

"You are yourself."

"The eternal leader of the Grammer Knights, Empress of the Empire—Titania!"

"So..." Sam gazed at Titania before him, "make your choice now, Your Majesty."

"To continue wallowing in the pain of being deceived, to live out one's remaining days as a puppet, drained of all value."

"still……"

Sam stood up and reached out his hand to Titania on the ground.

"Break free from this cage and reclaim your own freedom."

"Go and fulfill... your true wish."

free……

desire……

These two words, like two bolts of lightning, cleaved through the fog in Titania's heart.

She stared blankly at Sam's outstretched hand, then looked at the magnificent royal robe she wore, a symbol of lies and imprisonment.

Yes.

Why is she in pain?

Why be angry?

Those who deceived and took advantage of her.

This country... is the one that should pay the price!

She is not a tool, not a puppet!

Even if she and the Iron Cavalry were born from a lie.

Even if her empire never existed.

But she is also Titania.

Empress Titania of the Grammer Empire!

An unprecedentedly powerful will awakened within her.

The confusion in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by an unwavering determination.

Why should our fate be decided by that high and mighty ruling council?

Why should we fight and shed blood to win peace, only to be despised like monsters by the people of this country?!

Since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless!

Two balls of madness ignited in Titania's eyes.

She slowly stood up from the ground and sneered.

"Since they see us as tools, monsters..."

"Then I'll show them."

"Then I'll show you what it's like when monsters, who are merely tools, develop their own will!"

"I will... personally tear this hypocritical republic to shreds!"

"I will make this country that treats us like tools pay a bloody price!"

A terrifying killing intent erupted from her, causing the temperature in the entire hall to drop to freezing point.

The audience watching this scene outside the canopy felt a mix of emotions.

They sympathized with the Queen and the Iron Cavalry's plight and were disgusted by the actions of the Republic of Grammer.

The anger of being deceived, the sorrow of comrades being used as expendable resources in war.

The humiliation of having one's own fate manipulated was now transformed into a destructive desire...

They understood the Queen's anger and even supported her revenge.

But... this means a new war, a more brutal civil war, is about to unfold in Grammer, which has just gained peace.

Is this country, which barely survived the "global locust plague," destined to be destroyed by civil war?

[Fight! We must fight! These scum of the Republic, I won't be satisfied until they're reduced to ashes!]

Support the Queen! Overthrow this filthy republic!

[That's right. Since this country exists on lies, it should naturally cease to exist when the lies are exposed!]

But... once a civil war breaks out, it's the ordinary people who suffer...

[Get lost, you sanctimonious upstairs! When the Iron Cavalry died fighting to protect them, they enjoyed peace without a care in the world. But now that there's real peace, they're turning their backs on the Iron Cavalry. And you're telling me ordinary people are innocent?]

Although I don't think all people in the Republic are like this, well... I can only say that you can't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering.

All I can say is that no snowflake is innocent during an avalanche.

[I agree with Your Majesty; this republic built on lies must be destroyed!]

The comments section was a chaotic mess, but the vast majority of people still chose to stand on the Queen's side.

Because the actions of the Republic have completely crossed everyone's bottom line.

Since this country, which should have been destroyed in the swarm attack long ago, has survived to this day because of the Queen and the Iron Cavalry.

The empress, of course, also has the right to "decide" the future of this country.

at the same time.

Luofu, Changletian.

March 7th clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and said, "Fight! They should be beaten hard!"

"Let them taste what it's like to be deceived and betrayed!"

Hoshino nodded vigorously: "Yes, I support the Empress."

Walter looked at the resolute figure in the sky and sighed inwardly, saying nothing.

Because he knew.

When a person's faith is completely shattered.

There is no choice but destruction.

This is no longer a question of right or wrong, but an inevitable tragedy.

Under the roof.

Looking at the sky, Lu Li felt a surge of emotions.

Here comes the civil war in Grammer.

He had seen this history countless times in the background story of the game "Firefly" in his previous life.

Every time, I feel deeply sorry for it.

A civilization that could have become a hero ultimately succumbed to self-destruction due to internal "lies"...

In the sky.

After making up her mind to take revenge on the Republic, Titania looked at the man in front of her.

After learning that everything was a lie.

She discovered that, apart from the "children" who, like her, were kept in the dark...

The only person she could trust was the man in front of her who knew the truth but still chose to tell her.

She didn't know what his purpose was in telling her all this.

but……

Now, it's his turn to make a choice.

Titania returned to her throne and slowly turned to look at Sam below.

"Sam, since you knew all along..."

"Then... tell me your choice now."

Titania looked down at Sam, her voice as cold as ice.

"You want to use this tremendous achievement to become a hero of the Republic..."

"still……"

"To be an accomplice to this 'monster' who is about to rebel and destroy this country?"
