She stood beside the glass railing of the suspended balcony, raising her hand to tidy the hair accessory disheveled by the wind. Her long hair flowed with the vigor of a blue sky, and her eyes seemed to be glaciers kissed by auroras.

The long dress, tailored from moon shadow silk, rippled with waves, and the silver thread-embroidered star-trail pattern flowed at the hem.

Like a cold and clear snow mountain spring.

She had been informed of all the procedures and ceremonies for tomorrow's ceremony. Everything had to be completed before the Continent Martial Arts Competition, which was somewhat rushed and did not need to be too grand.

Celeste's previous rank was clearly not qualified to come as an honored guest, but due to her excellent performance in the Mulong battle, she was promoted two levels. Because her identity was made public, she had no chance for intelligence work, moving from the Intelligence Bureau to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and suddenly rising to a position just below the minister and the deputy minister, as the plenipotentiary ambassador in charge of the East Sea and Narrow Sea regions, also holding a vice-ministerial rank.

Liszt did not give Celeste face, directly elevating her to the heavens.

In political confrontations, details are very important.

Everyone actually knows that the Emperor is building railways, and the countries west of the Narrow Sea will definitely do some maneuvers secretly.

But this cannot be pointed out.

Some things off the scale are only four ounces heavy, but if on the scale, even a thousand pounds might not be enough.

Simply as a guest, participating in the ceremony, is no problem, it shows Lostra's attitude in the international scene.

Celeste, at the vice-ministerial level, is qualified to appear and take photos alongside as a foreign guest.

The feud between Fen and Pedan does not affect the Pedan Elder Council sending money to Uborio, capturing many Aran people for experiments, which is considered an equivalent exchange. Mulong is also a defense line to curb the Emperor's western expansion, with senior officials from Pedan attending the ceremony.

Although there are not many foreign guests, two of the forces are heavyweight, and Lostra and Pedan will of course bring some affiliations to bolster the scene.

Despite the hurried process, the pomp and circumstance must be maintained fully; the Green Oasis Country Vadinia is a nail Aran drives west of the Narrow Sea, so Lostra also plays the carpenter to drive a nail east of the Narrow Sea.

The mountain-like majestic palace, sacred and solemn, the high castle balcony, Su Yizhana overlooks Mulong's capital.

The downside of the Magic Energy Industry is the high cost, difficult to popularize, but in the country's core areas, it is indispensable.

Although Mulong has been fighting everywhere north, south, east, and west, turning into being fought everywhere north, south, east, and west, it's not a tiny functional country serving as an unpolluted puppet. It's a resource-rich nation.

Despite the scars left by aggression not healed yet, the Royal Capital has never been touched by war flames. The symmetric repetitive stone column structures rise and fall, scattered everywhere in Mulong-style architectural clusters, many incomplete skyscrapers. Magic Energy Industry-driven cranes stand still, the puppet government intended to continue enclosing land for selling it after being assimilated by Aran, but such ambitions were ultimately crushed; after Crocodile Island's Overlord Zote died, they immediately fled.

Su Yizhana returned after studying for many years in Pedan, only to find everything unfamiliar.

"Now is the time for action; I suggest that his highness wear armor at tomorrow's ceremony."

A civil servant proposed.

"No way..."

Uborio shook his head; these idiots only have dumb ideas. Mulong has its national conditions, Su Yizhana only needs to act as a mascot now.

The old king and all his family members were assassinated; Mulong's regular army was completely destroyed, Su Yizhana doesn't have absolute loyalty forces, such actions would only make her a laughingstock among other lords in the country.

Though it's very humiliating...

Currently, Mulong is completely supported by foreign forces, and visibly, it is more so the Desperados from the East Sea lawless zones.

"Your Majesty, it is reported that the envoy from the Beima Duchy will arrive at the Royal Capital tonight."

A guard knelt on one knee, reporting to Su Yizhana.

"I know, secure a good spot at the banquet, we must not neglect them."

Su Yizhana felt very tired. She had already been informed of all the procedures for tomorrow and had studied the scripts thoroughly, even enduring lengthy garment fittings.

Already worried and overwhelmed with confusion, the various timings added an enormous psychological burden.

Celeste, current Lostra Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, is also here urging Su Yizhana, finding it odd upon hearing Beima Duchy is coming.

The Narrow Sea cuts the Western Continent in half; in the east, Beima and Mulong are somewhat far apart, plus Beima is currently in civil war yet still has the mind to pay attention to Narrow Sea matters.

Celeste naturally understood sisterly intentions, getting it instantly.

During the Doringger period.

Beima East Coast and Heaven Port had business conflicts, with the situation relatively stable, focusing on making money.

During the Liszt period.

Beima situation turned unfriendly, focusing on cutting people down, needing to unite anything that could be united.

If no one keeps an eye on them, Liszt and Beima Xiaochaijin might just collude on the spot.

Celeste shook her head; what a Xiaochaijin, she herself was swayed off-course, though indeed a descendant of the former royal family.

Attending the ceremony is probably just a guise, they're coming to talk cooperation and learn advanced experiences from Liszt, Heaven Port also has Celeste's contacts, Beima even sent naval troops.

Dreya, Liszt's wife, is in charge of the situation, expressing they will provide all support aside from help until the civil war reaches a decisive point.

Beima's civil war has been going for some time now, seemingly still holding on, yet to reach the critical point.

The current headstrong Beima King is still supported by the Emperor, who wouldn't do things too extreme, but Xiaochaijin taking the stage is like killing the Emperor's mother.
