-130- Meet Her Majesty!

Falling Star City, the royal capital of the Falling Star Kingdom, is said to have a history that can be traced back to when the elves first set foot on the Miriaa continent.

Legend has it that in that era when myths walked on the earth, the elves had an earth-shattering battle with the old gods of Miria in the Star-Moon Strait.

At that time, Falling Star Island was still a part of the Miria Continent, until the elves defeated the hostile old gods with the help of the forbidden spell magic of meteorites, the meteorites from the sky shattered the earth, and the sea water poured into the Xingyue Strait, and the Falling Star Island was completely separated from the mainland.

The term "falling star" also comes from this.

Like Northport, the capital of Castel, Falling Star is also a port city.

As one of the natural harbors of Falling Star Island, Falling Star City is also the trading center between the Falling Star Kingdom and the Miriad Continent.

Just by sailing into the Star Bay, where Falling Star City is located, Charlotte saw countless ships anchored in the harbor, densely packed, merchant ships from all over the world gathered here, and the prosperity was even a few points higher than that of the North Port.

And that's exactly what happened.

As far as Charlotte knew, Falling Star City, the capital of the Falling Star Kingdom, had a population of more than 700,000, almost 1.5 times that of Northport, and only slightly less than the Crescent King, Durutesia.

Compared to the Falling Star Kingdom, which only had three-fifths of the population size of the Crescent Moon Kingdom, the population gap between the two kingdoms was not that big.

Charlotte stood on the deck, gazing with interest at the elven-style port city.

And as the battleship sailed into the bay, the sailors and soldiers who had been nervous finally completely relaxed, and the atmosphere on the whole battleship was much more lively.

Even the Earl of Stafford couldn't stop smiling and said to Charlotte:

"Your Majesty, welcome to the Falling Star."

The battleship raised its flag and slowly sailed towards the harbor.

Soon, the port also noticed the Karak galleon flying the Falling Star and the Roman flag.

Obviously, the Earl of Stafford had already greeted him in advance through the magic crystal teleportation that the Falling Star Kingdom was best at, and as the battleship approached the city, Charlotte noticed that many of the escort warships had taken the initiative to leave the harbor and escort around the battleship.

Not only that, as Charlotte's battleship approached the dock, a loud roar came from the direction of the escorting battleship, and Charlotte noticed white smoke rising from those battleships.

"Your Majesty, this is the royal navy's salute, and the royal navy is welcoming and saluting you."

The Earl of Stafford introduced with a smile.

Charlotte looked at the battleships escorting around her, looking slightly surprised.

The throne of the Falling Star Kingdom is vacant, and the nobles of the Council and the Lilac family are tense, she was originally ready to welcome her in a city full of gunpowder, but she didn't expect that she hadn't landed yet, but she had already enjoyed such a courtesy in advance.

As if noticing Charlotte's astonishment, the Earl of Stafford explained with a smile:

"Your Majesty, Falling Star City is not only the capital of the kingdom, but also the direct territory of the Romance royal family, and also the seat of the kingdom's parliament, this city ...... Will only be loyal to the rightful King of the Fallen Star. ”

"His Majesty Edward has passed the throne to you, and the Kingdom Council is extremely supportive of you becoming the Queen of the Falling Stars, so ...... Naturally, Falling Star City will also welcome you, waiting for your reign. ”

Listening to Earl Stafford's explanation, Charlotte bowed slightly.

She understood that Falling Star City was the sphere of influence of the Kingdom Council and the Roman royal family, and when Edward III died, the Kingdom Council broke with the Lilac family, and the Roman family recognized Charlotte, the city naturally became a representative of her support.

And as the Earl of Stafford said, when the battleship docked at the deep-water dock, Charlotte saw that the dock was also densely packed with people waiting for her arrival.

She looked towards the docks, and saw knights in silver armor and red cloaks standing tall on either side, all the way to the end of the road that connected to the docks.

Lilac flags representing the Kingdom of the Falling Stars flutter in the wind, but unlike during the Star-Moon War, these fluttering lilac flags are not the lilacs of Edward III's lineage, but the ancient white lilacs of the Roman family.

At the front of the pier, the nobles of the falling stars dressed in various gorgeous costumes gathered together in anticipation.

Not only that, but in addition to the nobles, Charlotte even saw some priests, among whom there was even a priest of the Holy Court with a golden priest's robe.

As far away, the curious onlookers were already densely packed, and the water around the port was impassable.

This kind of scene really surprised Charlotte.

Such a level of welcome even surpassed the greeting of the nobles and citizens of the Northlands when she returned to Castel's realm.

And when the battleship docked, Charlotte also officially boarded the dock under the escort of the knights, and the nobles at the front greeted them one after another.

Led by several nobles who were obviously more ornate in their costumes and obviously not inferior in status, as well as the celebrants of the Holy Court, the nobles saluted Charlotte respectfully:

"Meet Her Majesty!"

Charlotte's gaze swept over these fallen nobles, and finally fell on the Earl of Stafford who accompanied her, and feeling her gaze, the speaker of the kingdom council hurriedly introduced to Charlotte:

"Your Majesty, this is the Lord's Governor of the Kingdom, Marquis Howard, and a staunch supporter of the Kingdom's Parliament."

"This is the kingdom's court advisor and president of the kingdom's magic academy, a representative of the Roman clan, and the Earl of Greenville-Roman."

"This is the Arch-Priest of the Falling Stars Chapter of the Holy Royal Court, the Archpriest of Campbell."

"This is ......"

“……”

The Earl of Stafford was respectful and introduced Charlotte to the nobles who had come to greet her.

And every time he introduced someone, the nobles who were introduced would salute again respectfully and pay homage to Charlotte.

Among them, there is even the Archpriest Campbell of the Holy Court.

Perhaps because of her status as a "saint", the church representative was equally enthusiastic about her.

As far as Charlotte knows, the title of "Archpriest Campbell" is not called by any priest in the Kingdom of Falling Stars, and after the Holy Court became the official belief of Falling Stars, the coronation of every king was carried out by "Archpriest Campbell".

And after some introduction, Charlotte almost figured out what these nobles who came to greet her had something in common.

They...... They are all staunch parliamentary nobles, as well as the Romans who have reached cooperation with parliamentary nobles.

And, of course, there is the Holy Court that aligns with the interests of the Kingdom Council.

It is impossible not to be surprised that she can get so much support from the nobles, and Charlotte, who is ready to be troubled, is really a little unexpected.

However, after introducing many nobles, the smile on Earl Stafford's face became lighter and lighter.

I saw his gaze scanning back and forth between the nobles, and his brows gradually frowned.

Taking a deep breath, he looked at Marquis Howard, who greeted the highest status and status among the nobles, quietly leaned over and asked in a deep voice:

"Your Excellency the Marquis, Duke West, and the Knights...... Didn't anyone come? ”

Listening to Earl Stafford's inquiry, Marquis Howard hesitated.

He glanced at Charlotte, who was communicating with the nobles, sighed, lowered his voice, and replied:

"Your Excellency, they ...... Didn't come. ”
