Chapter 415 What happened in the 6th Dynasty?
"Alice, you mean...?"
"Simply put, we did indeed solve the problem of the survival of the United Nations, by a twist of fate."
Upon returning to the fleet, Alice quickly convened a joint fleet meeting—to everyone's surprise—Alice, a revolutionary, had become the crown prince of a super empire, a contender for the future emperor of a super empire, due to a bloodline issue.
"The news has spread outside, but for us, for the United Nations, comrades, our glory and dreams will not be dimmed by this. On the contrary, we will use this shell to infiltrate this vast interstellar empire."
Alice set the tone—the UN armed diplomatic fleet had completed half of its mission, but the journey was not yet halfway over; their destination was Earth—humanity's home.
“I completely agree. We simply cannot wage a war of attrition against an interstellar empire of this size, but thanks to Alice, we are able to use the empire’s resources to strengthen ourselves.”
Several captains spoke up, and Lin Sabrina, who was next to Alice, also spoke up: "I completely agree. In fact, I support Comrade Alice in vying for the throne of this empire. If we are to have a revolution, we must seize power. If Comrade Alice succeeds in seizing power, then the revolution can spread throughout this empire."
"I agree."
"This is very good."
But the biggest obstacle was Alice herself. She shook her head and said, "Everyone, I have never wanted to sit on any throne. I never have, and I never will. The reason I formed this fleet is solely to return to Earth. After all this is over, I will retire and become an instructor."
"But Comrade Alice, you must take on this responsibility—this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Alice remained silent for a long time before finally sighing.
"We'll consider it, after we take back Earth."
The fleet weighed anchor and arrived at Riemann Starport, where it received a large amount of supplies. The fleet's warp drive system cooled down, and Riemann gave Alice a coordinate.
Directly to the Imperial Central Hub – United Star.
The central hub of the Supreme Human Empire, United Star, derives its name from the distant Golden Age of humanity. Like North Blue Star, it belongs to the Deneb star system, and the Imperial Palace is located here.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Prince Riemann's envoy has arrived."
The Emperor was unusually lucid. He raised his head and looked at the Imperial Prime Minister, Reiss Acaso. He nodded and gestured for the messenger outside the door to come in.
"I already know about Alice's situation. I never expected that my family bloodline actually includes more than just these few children."
Aegerka Danlex sighed, and in his final years he lamented the fate of this relative who was not his own—he had long known his bloodline—Danlex, or rather, Delalaye, whatever the name, was merely an evolution over the long years.
"Then, this Alice..."
“She rightfully belongs to the royal family, Akasso. You say she rules over a kingdom, so that kingdom should rightfully be her fiefdom, but that’s not enough.”
"Alice... Your Highness, you will arrive soon."
Aegerka Danlex actually loved the empire he had built with his own hands even more. It was his pride, it was everything to him. But he was always worried about his empire, and he was also worried about his offspring—whether they were his own or not, those who carried his bloodline were rightfully his offspring.
He had already chosen the fiefdom for this "new daughter," deciding that she would have the right to compete with his other children—although his favorite was still Leman Danlex, whom he had raised himself, only the best could hold power if the empire was to continue.
He is old now, and in the nearly two hundred years since, he has been proud and honored enough.
When Alice's fleet arrived at Tianjin IV, it was quickly met with shock from the Imperial Central Command.
If the ships of Riemann are like chains, then the four star systems of Tianjin in the Imperial Central Region are like a crisscrossing net.
Alice was soon invited into the Throne District—the first "ideal city" created by the Empire, a planet that housed hundreds of millions of nobles, bureaucrats, and business owners.
Here, the saying "a car accident is enough to turn a city upside down" is not an exaggeration, and the grand reception Alice received shocked even herself.
Like Leman Danlex, Alice was greeted with a grand procession, while Alice herself was dressed casually, whereas Rafis and Vera were dressed much more casually.
The Royal Master of Ceremonies, an annoying old man, constantly reminds the "new crown prince" of imperial etiquette, but he finds that no matter how much he reminds her, Alice simply does as she pleases.
"Your Highness, please maintain the dignity befitting royalty..."
"Your Highness, please dress properly. Alas, these commoner's clothes..."
"Your Highness..."
"Okay, shut up!"
Before Alice's patience ran out, she finally arrived at the palace—unlike many others who looked on with longing, she felt nothing for this ostentatious architecture. As a modernist, she preferred avant-garde decoration, those buildings that boldly used geometric shapes as the main structure and extensively used modern materials for the facade; she appreciated the aesthetic value of those buildings more.
She disliked this place—the so-called imperial power. She saw that the common people of the empire dared not even glance at her, while the nobles stared at her with fawning eyes…
Shit.
There has been no progress.
She stepped up the stairs, and Imperial Chancellor Reiss Acaso looked her over—Alice had an aura that was different from others, a natural regal air, but unlike others, it was a more approachable feeling.
“Your Highness, thank you for your kindness. I am Reis Acaso, Prime Minister of the Empire.”
Alice extended her hand and smiled at the man in front of her: "Hello."
The two shook hands. Alice had no further questions, and Reiss Acaso led Alice into the Imperial Palace. The palace complex was vast and magnificent. Alice could not see the end of the palace, but the coldness here was more pronounced than the universe.
"His Majesty's days are numbered, Your Highness... I know you are not from the Empire and do not know much about his great work, but please, take some time to learn about it. Regardless of your past, now—your status in the Empire will be unmatched by others."
Reece Acaso looked at Alice, her shimmering silver hair and striking red eyes striking. She looked up at him, the prime minister.
“We are unable to make any choice yet, perhaps we will have to trouble you, Mr. Acaso.”
"It is my honor, Your Highness. Please grant me an audience with His Majesty."
Alice went inside, and before stepping through the door, she touched the marble-carved walls, the craftsmen who created them could never have imagined the luxury of this place in their entire lives.
Alice felt a sense of confusion—by this time, she was no longer the person she used to be—she had personally ignited the spark and witnessed the prairie fire, and no matter what the future held, she wanted to believe in the flames she had sown—if it was something that couldn't be done without her, then what was the point of everything she had done?
She walks into the room.
