King of Black Mist

Things are more troublesome than imagined.

Li Changzhou originally thought that coming to the "Invisible Lantern" in advance, coupled with the high-level power armor he unexpectedly obtained, would be enough to treat the palace as his home.

If you want to be cool, you can even give Margaret III a little care and warmth of a young person when she takes a bath and needs someone to rub her back.

But the moment he walked into the main palace complex, a guard beside him was notified.

"G2, you have a power armor reaction over there."

The guard quickly looked around: "No target found! Requesting support!"

"The support team is on the way, don't be alarmed!"

"yes!"

Li Changzhou heard the sound of a large number of power armors approaching, and he retreated.

It seems that the royal family also has a hand on the pilots of the imperial mecha, and the advanced power armor on them will still be captured by some kind of detection method.

Maybe Carolyn Wen also knew that the reason why she didn't say anything was because she didn't expect him to dare to invade the palace.

Should he rush out impatiently, or should he wait for Margaret III to come out on her own after taking a bath?

Li Changzhou looked at the soldiers in front of him who were pretending to be calm and a group of soldiers walking over pretending to patrol, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

never mind.

He turned and left.

People coming and going turned a blind eye to him. Holding the "invisible lantern", he looked like a ghost in the palace.

Instead of leaving directly, Li Changzhou walked in and out of the palaces he could enter, hoping to get some useful information.

"The new Imperial Mecha will be displayed in the Imperial Capital Square tomorrow. The Empire has five Imperial Mechas this time!"

"I heard that Baron Aznavour participated in the selection again this time, and maybe he can become a new Imperial mecha pilot!"

"It's impossible. How could Her Majesty the Queen allow two people with a close relationship to become pilots of the Imperial Mecha at the same time."

"Maybe it's His Highness Di'en himself."

"By the way, during the dinner today, did you see the fiancee of His Highness Di'en?"

"I see, I see. I didn't understand why His Highness wanted to marry a princess who lost her country, but she turns out to be so beautiful! The color of her blond hair is almost as good as His Majesty's!"

"Your Highness married her not because of her appearance, but to appease the ministers and citizens of the Principality of Lustein. After all, the princess's children will have the opportunity to inherit the empire in the future!"

This is a conversation between maids.

"That mother and daughter are so beautiful! I can't stand just seeing the queen's waist and the curves of her hips! She especially wore black mourning clothes on purpose. I really want to ravage her!" One person couldn't hold back and rubbed his hands in excitement.

"The same goes for that subjugated princess." Another person licked his lips, "That noble look and that blond hair, I really want to dirty her up!"

"Shut up! How dare you talk nonsense about hair!"

Be quiet for a while.

"From now on, both mother and daughter will belong to His Highness Di'en, right? I wonder what to say after giving birth to a child?"

A burst of obscene laughter.

"Perhaps it will be given to a certain imperial pilot or minister. Tsk, damn, I really want to play with it."

"The princess lives in Rank Hall. We can't enter, but you can go to Harvest Hall, where the queen lives."

"You fucking want to kill me!"

"How to get to Harvest Hall?"

"You really want to go? Huh?"

With gusts of sinister wind, Bai Gu, wearing a black cloak and carrying a huge bone sickle, appeared indoors.

Under the light, this alternative mecha floating in the air had no shadow.

No, not a mecha!

One opened his mouth to scream, and the other reached out to press the alarm.

There was a flash of white light, and the two men fell to the ground at the same time. The whites of their eyes enlarged and swallowed up the pupils, looking extremely strange.

Bai Gu looked at the remaining three people with pupils burning with blue flames.

"Draw the map to the Harvest Hall. Whoever draws it differently will be his fate. Do you understand?"

"Ming, understand."

As expected of a manservant serving the royal family, the more frightened they were, the less they dared to speak out. The three of them were not intimidated and yelled like crazy, extremely cooperative.

Li Changzhou stood beside the three of them, watching them draw the map. After confirming that no one was cheating, one of them gave them a blow on the back of the head to knock them out.

After thinking about it, he still used Death to kill all three of them.

Regardless of whether the three people are kept alive or killed, it will be exposed that someone broke into the palace tonight, but if the three people are kept alive, it will be exposed that his purpose is to go to the Harvest Hall.

It's always not good to go to a widow in the middle of the night. You can't spread the word, huh.

The lights in the Harvest Hall have gone out, and Queen Alicia is lying on the bed, her eyes open, warm tears on her face, drying and getting wet, getting wet and drying again.

After a while, she would occasionally wipe it with her hand as if remembering it.

"queen."

Alicia was startled. She covered her chest with the quilt and sat up. She subconsciously wanted to shout loudly, but the posture of the person in front of her made her restrain her instinctive impulse.

A figure wearing power armor knelt on one knee beside the bed.

From this morning on, no one will ever salute her again, unless—

The helmet of the power armor was opened, and with the bright light of the three-wheeled moon, she could clearly see the other person's black hair and his delicate and handsome face under the black hair.

"Wes? Is that you?!" Alicia lowered her voice.

"It's me, Queen."

"How...how are you here? I heard that you are being held in the Royal Hotel Lite?"

"I escaped." Li Changzhou raised his head, "Queen, do we still have a chance? Even if we sacrifice, we still have a chance to make the empire pay the price?"

There was silence in the dark bedroom.

Even ordinary people can hear Alicia's violent heartbeat clearly.

If it were anyone else, Alicia would suspect that the other party had surrendered to the empire and come to inquire about her information, but Zhou Weiss would not. He was a brave and loyal warrior, and his family was killed by the soldiers of the empire.

"Yes." Alicia nodded, her heartbeat gradually calming down.

For the next three minutes, Li Changzhou listened to this opportunity without saying a word.

He thought for a moment and changed his plan to directly capture Margaret III.

"Princess, this opportunity requires a princess. Please tell her tomorrow. The car mechanic will be waiting for her with a wrench."

"Car - ah!" Alicia was so frightened that she almost suffocated, and the day Weiss in front of her suddenly disappeared.

Can that power armor cancel the wavelength of visible light?

This technology is currently only controlled by the Empire. Could it be that Zhou Weiss has defected to the Empire?

However, Margaret III should have known about the existence of that opportunity, so why did she send someone to inquire about it?

Was it because Di En was worried and sent someone here without permission?

Or is it that Zhou Weiss did not betray, and was sincerely prepared to "retaliate against the empire even if he sacrifices himself"?

Alicia tossed and turned.

When she heard the sound of the salute, she realized that it was already light at some point.

Today is the day when his daughter Beja Tris will marry Di En, and it is also the day when the Principality of Lustein is truly destroyed.

The maid who had been with her since the principality helped her dress.

"Queen," the maid whispered in her ear, "something happened in the palace last night."

It was like this in the past. Every morning, just like listening to the radio, the maid would chat with her about what she had learned.

"What happened?" Alicia looked at herself in the mirror.

The hair is golden, and every strand is extremely shiny, as if the hair is lit up.

"Someone broke into the palace and poisoned several male servants."

Alicia didn’t know if this had anything to do with Day Weiss. What was the purpose of poisoning several male servants?

Soon, she no longer thought about this, she had already made a decision - to tell her daughter about Weiss's plan.

Nothing but death.

If it weren't for her daughter, she would have committed suicide with her husband when the Protector of the Nation was defeated.

After putting on a gorgeous dress, Alicia came to the Rank Hall. Her daughter had already put on a white wedding dress, with a princess crown as bright as the moon on her blond hair. She was as beautiful and holy as the legendary goddess of the sky.

Some imperial ladies and noble ladies were praising her, and she smiled at them.

Her smile was just right, it was exactly the smile she taught her back then - smile like this when she doesn't like it, when she hates it. Then she moved the corners of her mouth up lovingly, and her daughter suddenly felt really happy Laughed out loud.

Alicia walked over.

"Mother." Beatrice's smile faded a little.

Alicia looked at her. She had fantasized about her daughter getting married countless times, but never once did she imagine it would be like this.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

"I'm fine." Beatrice's smile returned.

Someone came over and praised the mother and daughter as being as young and beautiful as the daughter of the goddess of the sky. When they walked out, they didn’t know who the bride was.

No one treated them arrogantly, they were all polite, as they would be treated as other people's servants.

The wedding begins soon.

According to the procedure, Alicia will hand over Beja Tris to the heir of the empire, and then the princess and the prince will officially become husband and wife on the terrace of the Sky Hall in the presence of the subjects in the Imperial Capital Square.

They walked onto the red carpet leading to the Terrace of the Sky Hall.

The knights in costumes lined up on both sides respectfully, paying attention to them.

At the front of the red carpet, Di En, wearing a military uniform full of honors, stood at the entrance to the terrace of the Cangqiong Hall, looking at the two people walking slowly with eyes that were thinking about eating the piece of cake first tonight.

Margaret III, who also has gorgeous blond hair, stands next to her son.

It is said that the elf blessed by the goddess of the sky flew beside Margaret III. She was petite and cute. Only the goddess of the sky could give birth to such a magical existence.

You can hear the band playing "Beautiful Sky".

"Ya." Alicia said in a voice as low as a whisper, "I'm sorry."

Beatrice wanted to shake her head gently, but the etiquette and the princess crown on her head prevented her from moving.

"Your father and I know that the world is not a fairy tale. Outside the royal court, there are wars, deaths, frustrations, disappointments, and the helplessness of giving everything but getting nothing in return.

“As the heirs of the kingdom, we should have told you early, taught you, and given you determination, courage, and will, but, but—

"But we have extravagant hopes that you can be favored by the goddess of the sky and be happy all your life."

"Mother." Beatrice wanted to cry, but the dress made her unable to breathe.

"Ya, listen, no matter what I say next, don't get excited."

Alicia gathered herself together, her tears had dried up last night.

"Your father is dead, and you are now the queen of the Principality of Lustein. According to the agreement between your ancestors and the sky, you have the right to appoint the pilot of the imperial mecha outside that carries the fragment of the sky that protects the country. And if you marry Di En, you will lose your last rights, and the principality will completely disappear from history."

"What?" Beatrice controlled her expression and emotions.

"Don't get excited." Alicia reminded again.

Don't get excited, she reminded herself, and took a deep breath.

"Zhi Weiss asked me to tell you——"

"day?"

"Well, it's him. He asked me to tell you that the auto mechanic will be waiting for you with a wrench."

Beatrice's heart was beating loudly, as if she had died just now, and now she suddenly came to life.

but

A divine machine that protects the country, no, now it is an imperial mecha {knight}, what can it do?

Once the resistance fails, her mother will die, day will die, Xia will die, Lan will die, Yao will die, and everyone in the Principality of Lustein will die.

Imperial mecha are invincible

Really?

▽

It's useless. The empire sent three imperial mechas to attack us. No matter what we do, we will be found and killed.

▽

You three, run away. The empire’s target is me. As long as you are separated from me, they will not harm you.

What you should do now is shut up and wait to be your bride.

▽

Yao, Lan, and Xia, you are the elites of the Queen's Knights, and you have also fought against imperial mechas head-on. There is no need to sacrifice yourselves for the impossible.

Princess, it is precisely because we have fought against the Imperial mecha that we cannot escape.

▽

Are there any records of Imperial mechas being destroyed?

have.

Could you please tell me about it?

The only ones that can defeat the Imperial Mecha are the Imperial Mecha, or in other words, only the Mecha that also uses the Sky Shards as a power furnace.

Looks like I'm going to grab one.

▽

Are you desperate now?

Fortunately, it's like soaking rice with braised chicken soup. It's like biting into the chicken bones. It's a bit gritty, but you can spit it out.

▽

"Why are you still so active? Why aren't you desperate? I don't understand."

"What's not to understand? Of course I don't want to die."

▽

Vain.

Even if you know it’s a waste of effort, do it!

▽

Slow down, storm chaser slow down!

Don't be afraid, you just need to move forward and leave the rest to us.

▽

Don’t think so far ahead.

What do you most want to do on the track right now?

Memories came back fiercely, and Beatrice almost fainted.

"Ya, no matter what decision you make, mother will support you."

I wouldn't say this if she had even a tiny bit of resistance capital, but does she?

"Yes." Beatrice answered.

"What?" Alicia asked in confusion.

Beatrice took the initiative to hold her mother's hand and smiled: "It's nothing, I just remembered the past."

The mother and daughter took a few steps forward.

"Mother, I have good news for you."

"Good news? Now?"

"I won the championship in the no-rules competitive competition driving the Storm Chaser."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah." Beatrice nodded, "It turns out that as long as you don't care so much, you can really do some things."

"Beja?" Alicia looked at her daughter worriedly.

▽

It is better to wait for the wind to come than to chase it away.

Waiting for the wind to come, it is better to chase it away, Beatrice told herself.

Alicia handed her daughter's hand to Di En. Di En had an impeccable smile on his face and his blond hair was shining. He was a very handsome man.

"Your Majesty," Di En saluted Margaret III, "I'm going."

"Yes." Margaret III nodded.

Dean took Beatrice onto the terrace, cheers came in like a flood, and the band began to play the "Imperial March."

Di En stepped forward and the subjects fell silent.

The heir to the empire raised his hands: "The empire will always be great!"

"ah!!!"

The deafening cheers seemed to spread throughout the whole world, as if they were the will of the sky.

It's also like the battle cry of the savage tribe.

Beatrice's heart suddenly beat wildly in her chest.

Di En stepped back and made a gesture of invitation to Beatrice, elegant and condescending.

Beatrice walked to the marble railing of the terrace.

Everyone was watching the excitement, and the Imperials regarded her as a trophy, a beast horn hanging on the wall, an animal skin embedded in a glass frame, and an exquisite trophy symbolizing honor.

Beatrice's eyes swept over these people one by one, and then turned her attention to the cyan {Judgment}, the flame-colored {Red Lotus}, the red-black {Burning}, and the crescent-colored {Moonlight}. And the black {knight}.

She raised her right hand, which was covered in white lace gloves.

"I, the Queen of the Principality of Lustein, order—"

The imperial people were puzzled, and Margaret III's expression changed.

"——Zhi Weiss!"

"——Pilot the Divine Machine to Protect the Country and kill the Imperial Mecha in front of you!"

Beatrice clenched her right hand, and then swung it down like a sharp sword.

"——Sink them all!"

◇

In the cockpit of the imperial mecha {Knight}, no, the country-protecting divine machine {Knight}.

The red "Not Qualified" disappears and is replaced by the green "Qualified".

Li Changzhou, who had closed his eyes to rest, opened his eyes.

"finally come."

"Start neural connection...Complete"

Buzz——

The protector's eyes flashed with golden light.

"I will attack with an unbeatable attitude."
