(I need to take a break today, I have something to do, so I'll be posting 2,000 fewer words.)

As Aurelion finished speaking, countless viewers around the world fell silent.

Everyone's brains seemed to freeze, as if they had crashed.

The message conveyed through the natural peacock screen has already been delivered.

At this moment, these words are echoing in everyone's ears.

Like a death knell from hell, it filled them with despair.

The vast audience in the empire was utterly astonished upon hearing the Empress's words.

They stood frozen in shock.

His body trembled unnaturally because of his doubt.

What did Queen Aurelion just say?

She referred to Victor as "an important person"?

At that moment, the whole world fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was filled with intense silence and disbelief.

After the silence, it was as if a rock had been thrown into the still lake.

It stirred up a thousand layers of giant waves that soared into the sky.

Countless people had been suppressing their emotions from the beginning, but at this moment, they completely erupted because of Aurelion.

They were angry, they were frantic.

People roared and questioned the screen.

Emotions, like steam, surged from a pot the size of the world, rising high into the sky.

All the audience members stared wide-eyed.

This time, however, their eyes no longer held shock and hesitation.

Instead, it was a dense network of blood vessels and the outpouring of anger.

They waved their arms and shouted.

They kept yelling and shouting.

Angry voices rose from all directions, and even the surrounding buildings and mountains seemed to feel fear, trembling slightly.

The ocean curled up, and layer upon layer of waves crashed towards the center of the sea.

"What is the Empress doing?! Does she even know what she's saying?!"

"She...she actually called that great demon 'someone important'!?"

"Victor is going to destroy the world! Destroy the world! He's a sinner! A sinner against the world!"

"It's insane! The whole world has gone mad!"

The vast world was engulfed in an extremely ferocious vortex of anger.

Even cries and outcry from all over the world converged and surged toward the empire.

Countless voices from around the world questioned every citizen of the empire.

They questioned why the empress, whom they had once been proud of, would protect Victor.

They questioned what the empire truly meant.

Hearing the roars surging from all directions, countless imperial people lowered their heads.

Their faces flushed red; they couldn't believe it, yet they couldn't refute it.

They were far more ashamed than anyone else.

Because Aurelion is the emperor of their country!

At this critical moment in the world's crisis.

Their queen did not die fighting to the very end like her father.

She even stood by Viktor's side, protecting this great villain.

Why is that?

The more doubts lingered in the minds of the imperial citizens, the angrier they became.

They wished they could join in the condemnation of the Empress.

Even their own country's queen, in this time of global crisis where everyone is in danger, is no longer respected.

As suppressed anger accumulated, the faces of countless citizens gradually turned from flushed to rather grim.

They too stared with resentment at Aurelion in the picture.

The streets of the empire are filled with screens formed from natural gas.

Citizens gathered in the streets, silent.

But amidst this oppressive atmosphere, somewhere in the imperial capital, someone suddenly shouted:

"She is not worthy to be the emperor of the empire!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd fell silent.

Countless passersby turned their attention to the speaker, staring at him in astonishment.

Even some of the audience members around them became frightened as a result.

They were terrified that the royal guards would rush into the crowd at any moment and forcibly take away the person who had dared to speak up.

They accused him of disrespect and threw him into prison.

But the thing people feared did not happen for a long time.

In the silence, people finally dared to turn their heads and look around.

Royal guards and knights in full armor were positioned around the street; they couldn't possibly have missed what was said.

However, after so long, no one has taken any action.

They all kept their heads down, none of them daring to look up at the natural screen of peacocks that filled every corner of the world in the sky.

Even the knights who guarded the empire looked desperate and utterly helpless.

They, too, were disappointed in the Queen.

More and more people are seeing the knights' and guards' reactions.

At that moment, countless citizens felt wronged, which gave rise to intense anger.

"Yes, she is not worthy to be the emperor!"

"She doesn't deserve it!"

More and more people are awakening at this moment.

They looked up again at Aurelian on the screen above them, their bodies trembling.

Countless people's faces flushed red, their hearts filled with helplessness and humiliation.

They all shouted in unison at Aurelion, thousands of miles away, expressing their dissatisfaction.

It was as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.

"Get off the throne! We don't need an emperor!"

"Get off the throne!"

More and more voices of opposition are rising from within the empire.

They have not forgotten their roots.

They certainly remembered how much effort Queen Aurelion had devoted to this country and how much dignity she had brought it.
