Facing the nobles' pity and praise, the fourth elder held the thermos with a red star engraved on it with a calm expression.
"You keep saying how the Empire treated you, but have you ever done anything to benefit the Empire's development?"
The four elders spoke, and the nobles all kept silent.
Looking at the silent crowd, the fourth elder sighed repeatedly.
"It's because of you that the empire has become what it is today."
"Go back. Stop harboring those inappropriate thoughts. As long as you don't object, the country will treat you well, considering the sacrifices of your ancestors."
The fourth elder's words were concise and to the point, almost telling them to let go.
Don't these people understand who they are dealing with?
He is the first Grand Admiral of the Star Alliance and also the strongest armed soldier. You will fight him with your heads at stake.
Besides, the reform of the Empire will not do any harm to the Protoss.
Wouldn't it be good to exchange privileged treatment for a way of life?
The Fourth Elder's meaning was very clear, he would not get involved. Seeing this, the nobles were helpless and could only utter a few harsh words, making the Fourth Elder feel guilty.
"Fourth Elder, you are handing the empire over to us!"
"That's right! As the cornerstone of the empire, we will not allow others to interfere in any of the empire's affairs!"
"Not even the Regent!"
The fourth elder silently glanced at the nobles above, turned around, closed the door, and asked someone to ask them to leave.
The nobles were kicked out and looked embarrassed for a moment.
They had never been treated like this before, especially in front of so many people.
"Hmph, let's go."
The soldiers of the Red Star Intelligence Group silently took in this scene.
"Want to report it?"
"Don't say I look down on them. What kind of trouble can they possibly cause..."
"No matter what, report the matter. This is the responsibility of the intelligence team."
"Okay, Team Leader."
The arrogance of the nobles made them disdainful, and even their opposition seemed so "open and aboveboard".
After seeing the information, Xivalena remained silent.
Instead, Sinas said angrily, "It's them again. They show up whenever there's something good to offer, but they're nowhere to be seen at other times."
"Objection? Is it useful to object?"
"Xina, ask the Grand Admiral to kick them out."
Xivalena shook her head. "They are expressing their demands to us."
"Expressing demands?"
Xivalena glanced at Ace, who was almost suffocating in Cygnus's arms, and said unhappily, "Cygnus, put Ace down. You're almost suffocating him to death."
"ah!!"
Sienna reacted and looked down, only to see Ace's face flushed red. She looked pale and put the person down in a panic, apologizing repeatedly.
"Sorry, sorry, Ace, I didn't know..."
"Ahem, no, it's okay, Mom..."
"You, you called me, what?" When Sinas heard the call, his whole body trembled and tears rolled in his eyes.
"My father-in-law said that you are my mother." Ace said seriously.
"He, he really said that! What else did he say?" Sinas' voice was trembling.
"My father told me to protect my mother from now on."
Hearing this, Cygnus could no longer hold back his tears while hugging Ace tightly.
Ace apologized to Shivalena sensibly.
Shivalena shook her head, saying it was nothing, that her sister...had suffered too much in the past.
"Cynus, let Ace go. I have something to discuss with him."
"What's there to discuss? He's only nine years old, what can he decide? Just listen to me and ask the Grand Commander to expel them, just like they expelled you."
Sienna was worried that Ace would be hurt by those bastards, and her protectiveness made her lose her mind.
"Mom, Ace is still the regent. As a king, he has to be responsible for his subjects."
Ace's words made Cynas feel relieved and disappointed. Before this child, she had never paid any attention to him. She felt that she had failed in her duty as a mother.
"Cynas, cheer up, Ace is still young, you still have time."
Seeing her like this, Xivalena tried to persuade her.
Sinas also understands that the past is in the past, but they still have a future.
"Xina, what do you want Ace to do?"
"You don't need to do anything. Just exercise your king's authority. Ace, gather those nobles. We'll listen to their demands and decide whether to expel them."
"Ace understands."
The nobles were very happy. They felt that the royal family including Shivalenna would definitely not give up on them. After all, they were all Protoss.
They thought the Regent summoned them to discuss how to prevent the empire from changing, but when they arrived at the venue.
Only to find out that they weren't the only ones participating in the meeting, there were also many... civilians?!
Although these civilians would still be timid when they saw them, there was a glimmer of hope in their eyes, and they were different.
The nobles took their seats with sullen faces.
Ace, who was sitting on the throne, stood up after all the participants were seated.
"I declare the first National Congress of the Protoss Republic officially open."
"I, Ace Morningstar, the best regent of the Protoss Empire, abdicate today and will attend the conference as the first full representative."
"The meeting is now officially underway. The first item is about changing the Protoss Empire's system from an empire to a republic. Who is in favor of this? Who is against it?"
