Aina Aslan’s powerful voice traveled into the ears of every Aslan citizen. Fear and worry disappeared immediately from their hearts. Yes, they were the great Aslan, how could the great lion be scared off by some wild dogs!
The politicians of the Aslan Empire were shocked. They never expected Aina to give a speech like this. They thought she would probably just comfort the citizens, not declare war outright.
Everyone was cheering right now. Since the defeat, the Aslan Empire had fallen into a state of panic. Now, they returned back to their invincible Aslan Empire.
Such was the power of this woman.
Numerous reports were at the conference. Flashes followed by everyone bending down. This was their highness, the Princess. Aslan needed someone like that.
Aina held her head up. This was the road she was going to take. She was going to lead the Aslan Empire no matter whether it was right or wrong.
She had to say goodbye to her past when she walked out of the door. In the future, she would have to use all methods, even forgoing her principles, to do her best for Aslan.
Outside, Aslan citizens were gathered in the plaza. Cheers filled the air when Aina appeared. The dignity and glory of Aslan accumulated over the years completely erupted at this moment.
The powerful, majestic, unparalleled Aslan Empire. Bring it on, Aslan had never been afraid of anyone!
“Prime Minister Kashawen has been sacrificed. She was killed by the despicable assassins of the Arbiter Republic. Should we yield to such a country?” Aina’s voice loomed throughout the corners of the square.
“NO!!!!!!”
This was the roar of the people. Yes, many fingers were pointing at Arbiter to accuse them, but look at what they had done, hiring the killers of the Underworld for assassination.
“I, Aina Aslan, am an adult. My father is aged. I am willing to dedicate my life to this country. I won’t take a husband, nor will I have children. I will only have my home country. If you are willing to accept me as the queen of this country, raise your hand and tell everyone, tell the whole world, that I, Aina Aslan, am the queen of Aslan!”
Hundreds of thousands of people present in the plaza raised their hands, so did many people in front of the TV.
This was the most unique inauguration ceremony in Aslan’s history, done without the consent of the royal family, but passed by the citizens of the Aslan Empire.
Constantine smiled. She was his bloodline indeed. She was flexible and decisive. She was undoubtedly top-notch in intelligence. Not only that, Aina’s Ability x was a rare force that could be transmitted through to the masses. She could infect and inspire any corner of Aslan. Such was her power.
He would offer his life if it was necessary, but there was no more need for him to go back now. Even if there was chaos, it would be the Aslan Empire’s chaos.
“Thirteen, what do you think?”
“Master, Her Majesty the Queen will bring Aslan toward glory. The Prime Minister won’t have died for nothing,” the Thirteenth Elder replied respectfully. “Master, I’m starting to feel that Wang Zheng and Xie Yuxin will be problems. Will the Solar System become threats to us with them around?”
Constantine stared at the starry skies. “Only the destined can kill the destined according to the prophet. Let’s continue monitoring. All of them need a touchstone to grow. Aina will be the only one surviving.”
The Thirteenth Elder bowed his head respectfully. Yes, the final winner will be Aslan.
Aslan was in a state of jubilation. Calls for the Queen to be long lived were everywhere. Fanaticism was in everyone’s heart. Aina’s speech was infectious and relieved all doubts and at the same time showed Aslan’s stand. Her unique ability could capture the hearts of Aslan’s citizens. Anyone with an ounce of pride would be ignited by her hypnotism-like powers. Aina’s image had been deeply rooted and everything followed through.
The royal family was pretty united in the first place. They had finally returned to their normal operations, especially since the backbone of their system was back.
Aina wasn’t idle. She presided over various conferences. Aslan had suffered a huge loss in the battle this time. Arbiter wasn’t any better either. They had to have a new fleet before the Arbiter forces reached Aslan. Every department was churning out at high speed. Diplomatic activities were starting as well. At this point, it was as Aina had said, it was a war between Arbiter and Aslan. There was no right or wrong. The other countries need only to choose who to side with.
Ryan’s thinking was too naive. The trend of war had taken shape. This was the fate of humanity, and no human could resist it. Of course, countries who didn’t want to participate could remain neutral. The problem was, they might even be able to maintain neutrality if they didn’t have enough power.
The strong prey on the weak, that was the basic law of the universe.
Aina watched the worst part of the battle in the strategic meeting. Lin Feng was back. He had escaped only with a small portion of the fleet. Lin Feng’s frustration for this defeat was huge. If it wasn’t for the fact that his country needed his analysis, he might have committed suicide.
Lin Feng recounted the situation, assisted by the video footage. There was already a conclusion by Aslan’s intel department. This was a new strategy. They had used someone with very strong spiritual power and a spiritual amplifier to control the entire fleet. The coordination and fault tolerance increased to unimaginable levels. The strategy wasn’t complex, the difficulty was in coordination.
Aina said nothing. The generals in the room were silent as well. The election of Aina as the Queen was without question, and her attitude towards the battle was in line with the military view as well. Aslan would still be invincible if they managed to solve this problem. They could also kill Ren Yixuan. Every road led to Rome. The loss of the fleet was bearable for Aslan. Aina’s speech had put Aslan in a better position internationally now. A beautiful woman had inherent advantages. Arbiter hadn’t been doing well these few years, and the assassination of Kashawen wasn’t the best course of action either – it only served to place Aina in a better light.
