The trial demonstration of the new mecha is located in the Royal Military Academy.
Messiah's Royal Military Academy has the largest arena in the entire Ikaros Empire - "Crystal of the Sky", and the viewing venue for the league match in a few days will also be set up here.
The "Crystal of the Sky" is composed of three huge transparent crystals, and only the smallest one is open at this time, serving as a venue for mecha rehearsals.
Although it was not an official competition, the audience seats were still full of people.
A large part of them are students from military academies, and there are also some mecha masters and businessmen who came from far away.
Chu Yang brought several veteran parliamentarians and personally welcomed An Luya to the VIP seats.
Luya is very friendly to several old parliamentarians.
We exchanged a few pleasantries.
"It's indeed more comfortable to chat with you, teacher." Lu Ya said to Chu Yang.
Chu Yang heard the deeper meaning in her words, "From what I heard... you should have just returned from His Majesty's visit? How come... the discussion about the funding issue was not pleasant?"
Lu Ya's eyes darkened, "These are all meaningless conversations...it's better not to talk about them."
Chu Yang smiled.
"This year, several new mechas are aiming for level 3s."
He took the initiative to introduce her to Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"The most promising one is Master Lan He's newly designed light mecha, Scorching Dust."
Lu Ya looked in the direction Chu Yang pointed.
I saw a black and gold mecha flying over the semicircular dome.
The mecha had transparent wings and long, powerful limbs. From a distance, it looked like a bug.
"Why does it feel like his aesthetic taste has regressed a lot?" Lu Ya frowned slightly.
In fact, Luya came here today just for the "burning dust".
After the destruction of "Han Ying", Shen Que has not had a new mecha.
She looked through all the new models launched this time, and the one with the best performance was Lanhe's "Zhaochen".
It's just... a bit ugly.
The picture is ugly, the real thing is even uglier.
The expressions of the MPs standing by suddenly became a little embarrassed.
"For mecha, the most important thing is performance." Chu Yang said slowly.
"Scorching Dust" landed on the field, and the audience burst into applause.
A huge holographic image was projected in the center of the venue, and the screen displayed its data compared with other mechas.
Lu Sirang walked out of the "burning dust" and the audience applauded again.
"Commander Lu is quite popular," said An Luya.
Lu Sirang's operations officer, Marquis Arnold, quickly stepped forward. "The Fifth Fleet has always had an impressive record. Commander Lu is a rare Omega among the seven commanders, and he's currently in the top four in the popularity vote."
"Really?" Lu Ya asked casually, "Who ranks higher, him or Shen Que?"
Arnold choked.
"Of course Commander Shen ranks higher." Chu Yang glanced at Lu Ya.
"I guess so." Lu Ya raised the corner of his mouth.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess seems to like Commander Shen very much?" Chu Yang asked.
Lu Ya raised his chin: "He is the first commander of the empire."
Several members of parliament looked at each other.
"I heard some rumors recently." Chu Yang said slowly.
"The rumor that I like Shen Que?" Lu Ya sneered.
"It seems Her Royal Highness the Princess has heard it too."
Lu Ya: "This rumor has spread all over the Star Network. I'm afraid even the children on the marginal stars have heard it."
Chu Yang looked at her calmly.
Luya's expression was as arrogant as ever, as if this little dirty matter could not enter her heart at all.
She has been like this since she was a child.
There was no room in her eyes for anything except the back of her mother Carolina.
Chu Yang said calmly, "Perhaps you could clarify this publicly."
Lu Ya: "What do you want to clarify? Do I dislike the marriage that His Majesty has granted to Shen Que? This is a fact, there is no need to clarify."
The councillors began to whisper.
Chu Yang's tone became meaningful. "Your Highness, you are a princess of the empire. You should be careful with your words and actions. If the rumors become true, it may become a scandal for the royal family."
"Scandal?" Lu Ya laughed. "Is Pei Ji innocent?"
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Chu Yang suddenly recalled what Feng Shixu had said yesterday:
[Her Royal Highness has a scandal involving General Pei.]
"It seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess has a lot of opinions about General Pei." Chu Yang said.
Lu Ya snorted coldly.
"Actually, I also think Commander Shen and Admiral Pei are not a good match." A council member suddenly spoke up.
"Yes, yes. White Sand Planet is too remote," another council member agreed. "When they got married, none of Messiah's nobles went."
"Your Majesty is too stubborn. He only considers the results of the optical computer and does not consider Commander Shen's own wishes at all..."
"I heard it was also to befriend Baishaxing and do him a favor."
“How cruel.”
"Your Majesty has made many cruel decisions in recent years..."
Lu Ya listened to their conversation, and his disapproval of Shen Que's marriage gradually shifted to his disapproval of many of Carolina's judgments.
She had heard similar discussions many times.
She even agreed with many of the remarks.
Her stubborn and selfish mother always had only one scale in her heart, and the future of the empire always lay on one side of that scale.
Carolina never cared about anyone, not even her children.
An Luya did not speak again, but just silently watched the holographic mecha image slowly rotating in the venue.
After the council members' discussion came to an end, she finally asked, "Why haven't I seen Feng Shixu?"
"His audition is still to come," said Chu Yang.
"Forget it then." Lu Ya stood up. "I have something else to do. Shen Que's audition is in two days. I'll come back then."
