Things are more complicated than I thought.

Li Changzhou originally thought that by arriving early and carrying a lantern invisibly, coupled with the advanced power armor he unexpectedly acquired, he could make the palace his home.

If you wanted to show off, you could even offer a touch of youthful care and warmth to someone when Margrethe III needed someone to scrub her back while she was taking a bath.

But the moment he stepped into the main palace complex, one of his guards received a notification.

"G2, you have a power armor reaction on your end."

The guard quickly looked around: "No target found! Requesting backup!"

"The support team is on its way, do not alert them!"

"yes!"

Hearing the approaching sound of numerous powered armors, Li Changzhou retreated.

It seems the royal family has also taken precautions against the pilots of the Imperial Mechs; their advanced power armor can still be detected by some kind of surveillance method.

Or perhaps Win Caroline knew, but she didn't say anything because she didn't expect him to dare to break into the palace.

Should they rush out immediately, or wait for Margaret III to come out on her own after her bath?

Li Changzhou gazed at the soldiers who were feigning composure and the group of soldiers who were pretending to be on patrol approaching, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

never mind.

He turned and left.

People passing by ignored him; carrying his invisibility lantern, he resembled a ghost in a royal palace.

Instead of leaving immediately, Li Changzhou went in and out of the palaces he could access, hoping to glean some useful information.

"The new Imperial mechs will be on display in the Imperial Capital Square tomorrow. The Empire now has five Imperial mechs!"

"I heard that Baron Aznavul participated in the selection again this time. Maybe he can become a new Imperial mech pilot!"

"Impossible. How could Her Majesty the Empress allow two people with such a close relationship to become pilots of the Imperial Mechs at the same time?"

"Perhaps it is His Highness the Emperor himself."

"By the way, did you see His Highness Di En's fiancée at the banquet tonight?"

"I see her! I didn't understand why His Highness would marry a princess of a fallen kingdom, but she's so beautiful! Her blonde hair is almost as beautiful as His Majesty's!"

"His Highness married her not because of her looks, but to appease the ministers and people of the Duchy of Lestain, since the princess's children will have the opportunity to inherit the empire!"

This is a conversation between the maids.

"That mother and daughter are so beautiful! Just seeing the Queen's waist and the curves of her hips is irresistible! Especially since she's deliberately wearing a black mourning dress, I really want to ravage her!" One person couldn't contain his excitement and rubbed his hands together.

“That princess of a fallen kingdom too,” another person licked his lips, “that noble air about her, and that golden hair, I really want to dirty her!”

"Shut up! How dare you talk nonsense about hair!"

Let's be quiet for a while.

"From now on, this mother and daughter will both be His Highness Di'en, right? I wonder what they'll call her after the baby is born?"

A lewd laugh rang out.

"Perhaps it will be given to some Imperial pilot, or minister. Tsk, damn, I really want to play with it."

“The princess lives in the Rank Hall, which we can’t go into, but you can go to the Harvest Hall, where the queen lives.”

God's Arrival

"You fucking want to kill me!"

How do I get to the Harvest Hall?

"You really want to go? Huh?"

A chilling wind blew, and a skeleton draped in a black cloak, carrying a huge bone scythe, appeared inside.

Under the lights, this unusual mecha floating in the air didn't even cast a shadow.

No, it's not a mecha!

One person opened their mouth as if to shout, while the other reached out to press the alarm button.

A flash of white light, and the two of them fell to the ground at the same time. Their eyes widened and swallowed Tong Kong, which looked extremely strange.

Tong Kong, whose bones were engulfed in blue flames, looked at the remaining three.

"Draw a map to the Harvest Hall. Whoever draws it differently will suffer the same fate as him, understand?"

"Understood, clear."

As expected of male servants serving the royal family, the more frightened they were, the less they dared to make a sound. The three of them were not frightened and shouted like madmen, cooperating extremely well.

Li Changzhou stood beside the three men, watching them finish drawing the map. After confirming that no one had cheated, he knocked each of them unconscious by hitting them on the back of the head.

After thinking it over, he still used Death to kill all three of them.

Whether the three are allowed to live or killed, it will expose that someone broke into the palace tonight. However, if the three are allowed to live, it will expose that his purpose was to go to the Harvest Hall.

Going to see a widow in the middle of the night is never a good idea; it can't be spread around, hmm.

The lights in the Harvest Hall were off. Queen Alicia lay on the bed, her eyes open, warm tears streaming down her face, drying and wetting repeatedly.

After a while, she would occasionally wipe it with her hand as if she remembered.

"queen."

Alicia was startled. She sat up, clutching the blanket to her chest, and instinctively wanted to scream, but the person in front of her made her restrain her instinctive impulse.

A figure wearing power armor knelt on one knee beside the bed.

Starting this morning, no one will bow to her anymore, unless—

The power armor helmet opened, and by the bright light of the three moons, she could clearly see the other person's black hair and the handsome face beneath it.

“Weiss? It’s you?!” Alicia whispered.

"It is I, Queen."

"How did you get...how did you get here? I heard you were being held at the Ritz Royal Hotel?"

"I escaped." Li Changzhou raised his head. "Your Majesty, do we still have a chance? A chance to make the empire pay the price, even if it means sacrifice?"
