Alien Empire Total War

In mid-January, Charlie's motorcade finally pulled into Hillens, the capital of the Hildy region.

When the royal motorcade drove into the main road into the city, looking out through the window of the carriage carriage, Charlie could see many local citizens holding a small brand new national flag, standing on both sides of the street, welcoming their new emperor.

In front of the citizens, the local gendarmerie and police force were fully armed, forming a thin human wall with high tension, and they observed the surrounding civilians from time to time, for fear that an assassin would suddenly appear in the crowd in front of them, facing the emperor's carriage. shot.

Charlie did not open the curtains completely, but observed the movement outside through a gap. He silently observed the citizens who were waving small flags, and found that most of them did not have sincere expressions on their faces. Yes, it seems likely that the local government is "catching the strong men" and asking them to pretend.

And the fact is almost the same. Although the city of Hirons has been ruled by the empire for nearly half a year, the local citizens still have not fully accepted the rule of the empire. However, the living conditions that have improved under the rule of the empire have still made many poor people. The Hildis began to gravitate toward the Empire.

What Charlie didn't notice was that among the layers of the crowd, some people looked at the team with a hint of hatred in their eyes.

Those people were citizens who enjoyed the superior treatment during the rule of the Hildi Kingdom. After the Rumont army occupied the city, not only did the treatment they enjoy canceled, but their family was also liquidated by the Rumont gendarmerie afterwards. Family members were arrested, property was confiscated, and they were relegated to the dust overnight from the high above.

After that, they also joined the local secretly active resistance organizations. However, after the Hildi Kingdom was officially annexed, the resistance organizations in various places were also investigated and counterattacked by the gendarmerie. Until now, only a few cats and dogs in the resistance organizations are lingering.

Although these people hated the imperial government very much, under the high-intensity suppression by the military police, they could do nothing but watch the royal motorcade slowly drive into the city, incompetent and furious.

Welcomed by the citizens of Hillens, the royal motorcade drove all the way to the Palace of Vis, a huge palace complex in the city center. This palace used to be the residence of the Hildi royal family, but now it has become a new life. The palace of the imperial family.

Although the palace has not been officially occupied for nearly half a year, the government of Hilens City still employs a large number of servants to clean the palace on a regular basis, keeping the rooms inside the entire palace at a high level of cleanliness.

After the empire was established in the form of promulgating the constitution, Leonard Sandy, who was appointed as the palace director, also took over the second palace complex in the empire and hired the previous cleaning of the palace in the name of the royal family. servants, making them official employees of the royal family.

Therefore, after Charlie and the people who came with him stayed in the Palace of Vis, the interior of the entire palace was neat and tidy, and there were enough cooks and cooks in the kitchen. They cook sumptuous meals.

On the night of Charlie's stay, he held his first banquet after arriving in the city in the hall of the Palace of Vis. He entertained the Hildi nobles and some of the more prestigious local assets in the city of Hilens. home and businessman.

Regarding the invitation of the emperor, the people of Hierens in the city did not dare to shirk their scorn. They carried various precious gifts and drove into the Palace of Vis in a carriage. Among them, in addition to the invited person, they also brought their own His wife and children entered the palace together. On the one hand, he hoped that his children could enter the emperor's eyes, and on the other hand, he hoped to marry each other and seek cooperation at this banquet.

Since ancient times, court banquets have been an important channel for marriage and cooperation between nobles, and even now that the power of nobles has been weakened in various ways, this tradition has continued to the present.

That night, the palace of Vis was brightly lit, and the guests present were not only the local nobles and wealthy families of the city of Hilens mentioned earlier, but also the nobles of Lumont and foreign guests who accompanied Charles to the north.

Looking at the entire spacious hall, there are exquisitely dressed guests everywhere. They gather in groups of three and five to talk at a high level. Among them, there are also many attendants wearing wine glasses, passing through the crowd from time to time, serving sweet wine. Hand it to those who need it.

If you just look at the clothes of the guests, you can also preliminarily judge their identities. For example, those who are dressed in simple but delicate clothes, and those who show elegance in their gestures must be nobles with family heritage.

Contrary to them, there are some capitalists and businessmen. No matter how they dress or show their gestures, they give people the feeling of a nouveau riche. No matter how hard they try to integrate into the aristocratic group, they really jump into the upper class. But there will still be an invisible barrier between them and the noble group.

After most of the guests had entered the hall, the attendant in the hall began to remind the guests to take their seats and prepare to eat, and the guests immediately sat in their respective circles and positions at the edge of the round table covered with white table cushions.

It is worth mentioning that, whether they are nobles or wealthy, their female relatives are all sitting at a table alone. Those women will chat with each other at the dinner table and introduce their children. This can be regarded as a "blind date corner" in disguise. .

After the guests took their seats, a loud voice sounded in the corridor inside the palace~www.readwn.com~ The sharp voice said: "The people of Lumont, the people of Hildi, and the people of Enkelan. The co-owner, His Majesty Emperor Charles Close, the Great Revivalist, is here!"

At the moment when the screams fell, the military band in the venue began to play classical royal music, and Charlie, who was wearing a capable but heroic white military uniform, walked slowly into the venue under the attention of everyone.

Beside him, Sophia in a long white lace dress wore the same long white gloves in both hands, holding Charlie's arm with a smile, and followed him closely.

When they saw the young couple, all the guests in the venue stood up from their seats and applauded and welcomed their Majesty the Emperor and the future Queen.

It was the first time for Sophia to attend a banquet with Charlie in this capacity, so she looked a little nervous, but she remained calm and reserved, which made Charlie, who looked at her from the corner of his eye from time to time, silently give some affirmation.

No matter from which point of view, he could not accept that his queen would lose her temper on important occasions because of her own character. The queen not only represented the face of the royal family, but also represented the majesty of the empire to some extent.
