The Beginning of Another Story The Land of the Scarlet Rose
The Third Age: 1690, the year when the sun and moon set.
The peace of the past was broken by the chaos that broke through the seal. Dark clouds of haze covered the sky, the earth, and the ocean. Before this desperate disaster, the crown of the sun rose in the sky, clearing away the filth of the world.
And rising with the sun was the silver crown of the moon. The two inherited the conflict tens of thousands of years ago and once again fought on the dome of the sky. After that, the sun and the moon fell from the highest dome together and scattered with them.
, and the endless starlight that infects the world.
On that day, all living beings in the world lost the power to control the extraordinary and began to practice again. After losing the extraordinary power, some things that had been suppressed in the past began to explode.
Some of them are anger that has been suppressed for a long time, and some are vitality that has been sinking for a long time.
Within the Green Empire, the struggle for power in the imperial capital became the fuse of everything, and the conflicts that had been suppressed for many years broke out. The seven Snow Flower Kingdoms began to unite under the teachings of the sage, and gradually merged into a unified country.
————————
Three years later, the green imperial capital, Titania.
In the quiet and beautiful palace, accompanied by a beautiful chorus, a handsome young man with blond hair slowly woke up from his long sleep.
"Your Highness Edron is awake!" A slightly familiar voice sounded, filled with joy.
"I'm..." Edron slowly sat up and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings.
Obviously he should be in a palace at this time. Judging from its decoration, he should be in the Rose Palace, which is where the emperor lived in the past.
He actually didn't die, but survived? He felt a burst of joy, and looked at the palm of his hand in disbelief. Although he could move freely, he didn't seem to have any extraordinary power. The extraordinary core in his body had disappeared.
.
Then he raised his head and looked around. There were about twelve girls in white standing beside him. They each held a special candle and surrounded his bed in the middle.
Was there some ceremony being held just now?
After searching for a while, he saw the familiar attendant beside him, Ronald with short black hair and wearing a black and red dress. This was his retainer and deputy.
Seeing Edron's expression, Ronald quickly understood. He said, "Thank you for your help. There will be additional rewards from the palace later. Now everyone goes to rest."
After he finished speaking, these girls in white clothes were taken out of the room by the guardian knights on the side, and then Edron and Ronald started talking.
"How long have I been sleeping? A lot of things seem to have happened during this time." Edron saw that his bedroom was in the Rose Palace and guessed that the coup must have been successful.
"Your Highness, you have been sleeping for three years." After saying this, Ronald felt lucky. As the object of his allegiance, if Edron had been sleeping, he would have been trapped in this small palace.
"When Titania was in chaos, you were attacked by the Dark Moon Assassins of the Empire and penetrated your chest with a long knife. Fortunately, you were rescued by the knights and His Majesty Emmank."
"What happened next was very special." It seemed that it was too grand and he didn't know where to start. Ronald paused for a few seconds before he could organize his words.
"At that time, the entire world was once again swept by the phantom of chaos. Beacons everywhere were lit one by one, and beams of light penetrated the sky and the earth."
"And at this desperate moment, the sun's crown rose from the top of the sky, its pure light shone across the earth, and the whole world was washed by the golden wind, and all phantoms were eliminated."
"It sounds like a miracle." Edron recalled the beautiful crown he saw before his consciousness disappeared.
"Indeed." Ronald smiled bitterly and then continued.
"The assassins of Dark Moon were extremely fierce at that time. In a short period of time, they almost rescued Ansroy. But the sun in the sky gathered all the extraordinary power. After losing their strength, they were quickly surrounded and killed by a large number of warriors.
, and Ansroy also died in the chaos."
"After losing Ansroy, the other legions in the city finally surrendered to us, and we who controlled the center also spent the next few months sorting out and clearing out the obstructing enemies one by one."
"After that, His Majesty Aimanke ascended the throne and became the new emperor of the empire."
"But the empire has been a system of two kings since ancient times. Due to your highness's deep sleep and your long absence from waking up, the legality of His Majesty Amanke's rule has been questioned by nobles from all sides."
"After that, His Majesty Aimanke vigorously promoted officers and soldiers in the army to important positions and took charge of various departments and functions, so as to get rid of the control of those big nobles."
"But this will cause huge conflicts. You must know that those ancient families have a lot of power. It is too dangerous to do this." Edron quickly analyzed the disadvantages.
"Yes, but Your Highness, times have changed." When Ronald said this, his tone contained endless emotion.
"The crowns of the sun and moon in the sky have taken back all the extraordinary power. Everyone can no longer use the extraordinary power and must practice it again. The old methods are no longer fully applicable and everything must be re-explored."
"This also means that many high-level extraordinary beings among the great nobles returned to the starting line with mortals overnight. Individuals became less important, and the army became a powerful force that controlled everything."
"And we have the support of the army, and the death of Lord Konsk, the former leader of the Southern Legion, allowed His Majesty Amanke to easily take over power, thus directly controlling a large number of legions."
"Given this God-given opportunity, Your Majesty will naturally not wait for those great nobles to rise again, so the cleanup has begun."
"And in order to prevent the great nobles from re-establishing other princes and princesses, most of the descendants of the former emperor were also disposed of by His Majesty..." At this point, Ronald felt a chill.
"Now that all power in the Green Empire is concentrated in His Majesty, only the four Dukes still have certain control over their respective territories."
"Now that your Highness has awakened, you have made up for the last shortcoming, and the green empire will surely become great again in your hands." Ronald flattered him in a rare way. He used to be a cold and arrogant young man.
But I have really suppressed too many dull emotions in the past few years, and today I finally let them out.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Edron shook his head, not thinking about how great he was. He was just lucky enough to seize the fleeting opportunity in fate.
Under the past rule of the Green Empire, the great nobles occupied various important resources and positions in the empire. As the population increased in the empire, the various needs of the lower classes were not only difficult to meet, but also became more difficult. Naturally, they accumulated
Lots of conflicts and resentments.
In the past, the great noble families were suppressed by many high-level extraordinary beings and elite knights, so they could ignore these grievances and conflicts. In order to find a way out, the best way for civilians was to join the army, and just like the ancestors of the nobles, they fought in the
Win meritorious service and title.
It is a pity that Emperor Cang Cui ignored the civil strife in Xue Hua Qi, which made many soldiers who were keen on meritorious service gradually become dissatisfied. The grievances of all parties in the army were passed on and accumulated, which gave them the opportunity to intervene and make promises.
In this way, they gained the support of the garrison in the south, and were able to secretly mobilize elites, take advantage of the wedding celebration to enter the imperial capital, and finally launch a coup.
Now that he is successful, he will naturally fulfill these promises and further win over and strengthen these people who support him, making them the cornerstone of his rule.
It is foreseeable that in the future, more positions will be controlled by soldiers loyal to the emperor, and the emperor will further consolidate his power and truly become the supreme ruler of the empire.
The thousand-year-old empire will rise again, conquer the land, and rule the world.
With full hesitation and expectation, Edron changed into a gorgeous dress and walked towards the door.
"Lead the way for me, Ronald. We will inherit the destiny and complete the great cause that has not been completed for thousands of years."
