Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

The Knights Commander said expressionlessly, "This is nothing to boast about."

"Alright, now please come with me to see the Queen."

The Knight Commander himself cut off the conversation and extended his hand in a gesture of invitation.

"Okay."

Haramura Makoto yawned listlessly and walked directly to the Knight Commander's side, with Shokuhou Misaki and Laura trailing slightly behind him.

"Let me make this clear beforehand: when I say 'overestimating one's abilities,' I'm not only referring to the water in the rear, but also to you, Commander of the Knights."

"Stop staring at me with those eager eyes, or I can't guarantee you'll have the same chance of survival as the water behind you."

The icy tone was like a sharp knife, cutting into the knight commander's body again and again.

Even though the man hadn't done anything, he had simply released his aura and allowed him to sense it, yet he felt as if he were already riddled with holes.

"A very dangerous mission, extremely dangerous people."

Now, the Knight Commander can make this assertion: this man is extremely dangerous, and perhaps only Katina can defeat him.

"Knight Commander, what are you daydreaming about? If you keep dawdling, we'll just push the door open and go in ourselves."

"This must be hard for you to accept."

"The Knight Commander who respects etiquette and doctrine."

Laura turned around, a leisurely smile on her lips, and uttered sarcastic words to the Knight Commander.

"I know."

The knight commander's previously calm expression darkened, and he walked directly to a magnificent double door that matched the grandeur of the palace.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us together unveil the Queen."

Chapter 386 The meeting begins

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us together unveil the Queen."

The Knight Commander spoke with a very devout expression, and then reached out and pushed open the door.

Inside the door was a fairly spacious operations room.

However, despite being called a conference room, it looks more like a large banquet hall.

Several rows of circular tables surround a raised platform with steps, resembling the rings of a tree, creating a setting reminiscent of a United Nations conference hall.

In the very center of the platform, everyone was already seated.

"We've finally arrived! Welcome everyone, I've been waiting for so long."

The person who spoke these words in a remarkably energetic voice was a wealthy and elegant lady who was fifty years old, with skin and hair showing signs of aging, but whose spirit was like that of a teenager, and who wore a long dress that covered her feet.

The woman also wore a crown on her head, proclaiming her identity.

"This is none other than Britain's savior, the great Queen Elizabeth."

The introduction of the Knight Commander was very solemn.

"Roar, Queen..."

That's what they say, but Makoto Haramura's gaze was actually fixed on something else entirely.

That was the sword that Eliza was holding.

It is a typical Western double-edged sword, about 80 centimeters long including the hilt. It is unsharpened, with a flat tip and a slender, square hilt.

Queen Eliza held the sword in both hands.

Instead of sheathing it or hanging it on his waist, he held the sword hilt with both hands, the tip of the sword pointing downwards.

"This sword..."

Makoto Haramura's gaze became slightly serious.

"This is Katina."

—Catina.

The name is not particularly obscure.

It is known to most people in the world that it is the ceremonial sword used by the British king or queen during their coronation. As the highest-level national treasure of the United Kingdom, it has no blade because it was never sharpened. It is just a prop used in ceremonies. For this reason, the sword is also regarded as a symbol of mercy, a sword that will not kill enemies, and is also known as the Sword of Compassion.

However, upon seeing the sword in person, Makoto Haramura could not regard it as an ordinary prop.

This is the power of a grand ritual connected to the earth's veins.

"I see. So this is why the Knights Commander said that as long as the Queen stands on British soil, she will never lose."

Makoto Haramura's voice wasn't quiet, but it was just within the range that everyone standing in the room could hear.

"Oh!"

"The Knight Commander said something like that."

The Queen of England burst into laughter.

"That's right, this is Katina. With Katina's power, I will never be defeated as long as I am on British soil."

"The Knights will not be defeated either."

By now, Makoto Haramura had almost remembered everything.

After all, he had all the memories of the Catalogue of Forbidden Books in his mind. The reason it didn't ring earlier was simply because there was too much junk information and he was too lazy to sort it out. Now that it had been reminded to this extent, there was no way he couldn't remember it.

To the average citizen, the Katina is merely a national treasure, a ceremonial sword used in coronation ceremonies.

However, in the magical world, this sword has a different meaning.

Because the person who wields this sword can obtain power equal to or on par with that of the god-like Michael.

It is the archangel of heaven, who commands all angels, and is one of the four archangels who directly serve God.

The divine power Gabriel controls the back, the color blue, water, and the moon.

Uriel, the God of Fire, governs the front, yellow, wind, and air.

Raphael, the god of medicine, governs the left, green, earth, and the land.

Michael the god-like ruler controls the right side, the color red, fire, and the sun.

In the Bible, the right side signifies equality with God. Michael, who rules the right side, is the commander of the angels, the archangel of heaven, and undoubtedly the highest-ranking angel. In terms of power alone, he is even considered to be on par with God.

Therefore, Michael is the most powerful of all the angels. And those who possess the Cardina are able to possess power on par with this archangel.

The reason is simple.

The Cardina is the highest-ranking spirit armor in the UK. To protect the united kingdom encompassing four cultures—England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland—the Cardina exists as a spirit armor with immense power, granting it the ability to govern rules that exist only within the UK and to protect those who wish to safeguard Britain.

This so-called rule refers to the fact that the United Kingdom has an independent form of Christianity known as English Puritanism.

This is a rule established in the 15th century by Henry VIII to ensure that the politics of his country would not be interfered with by other countries.

Therefore, in order to avoid external influences, two rules were established: the country was absolutely immune to any external forces and the king was the supreme authority of English Puritanism, and the English king was not required to obey the orders of the Pope.

Since four is the number representing the earth, if a map is made using countries as the basis, then it can create the magical meaning of a whole England comprised of four countries.

In other words, Henry VIII used the four continents of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland as materials to construct the largest magic circle in the world, which consisted of the entire continent of Britain. He used the whole of Britain as a magic ritual to summon the power of the god-like Michael.

The reason the Knight Commander claimed that his power came from England was because this power was the angelic power distributed by Katina.

Therefore, in order to demonstrate his greater greatness than the Pope, Henry VIII positioned himself as the Archangel, and the knights who followed him as the Angels, thus leading the people of England.

This was not just empty talk. To achieve this, Henry VIII established the institution using the four kingdoms of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland in the 15th century.

The medium through which this power is used is Katina.

The King of England who possesses the Cardina will correspond to the position of the Archangel, wielding power on par with Michael, and even positioning the Knights as an angelic army under the command of the Archangel, capable of distributing angelic power to all knights to protect the entire British continent.

Lara said the Queen didn't need security measures because she herself possessed archangel-level power, making her invincible.

In theory, saints are beings on the same level as angels.

However, just as there are exceptional individuals among saints, such as the one with the water behind him, who far surpasses other saints of the same level, there are also distinctions in rank among angels.

Angels like Michael, who are almost on par with God, are actually no different from demons.

In other words, the British Queen who possesses the Cardina is a demon god standing on this land.

(Indeed, there are countless powerful individuals in this world.)

(Even magicians who have always been looked down upon can achieve this level of skill.)

Makoto Haramura's lips curled into a smile, and a long-lost excitement surged up again.

"Okay, okay!"

At this moment, Queen Eliza stepped down from the high platform, casually placing aside the national treasure-level spirit armor that even Makoto Haramura had to treat with utmost care, and spoke directly.

"Now that everyone is here, I should let my daughters meet you all."

Upon hearing the Queen's words, the Grand Master stepped forward.

"Then I will go and fetch the princesses."

However, before the leader's words had even finished, there was an immediate response from outside.

"No need. I'm not the kind of naive princess who would trust someone to pick me up. I can attend meetings by myself."

As the sound echoed, a person walked in through the main entrance.

She was also dressed in a rather luxurious gown, but she was probably only around thirty years old. The light blue gown, with a knee-length skirt that resembled a bodycon dress, clung tightly to the curves of her legs. She wore a single lens over her left eye, giving her a strong sense of intellect and aloofness as a black-haired beauty.

"First Princess Limeia, here to make her appearance."

The woman, who identified herself as Limeia, gave her name in an extremely cold tone.

"Sister Wang, your morbid closeness hasn't changed at all. Aren't you tired of living like this every day?"

Following closely behind, a girl in her mid-twenties, looking rather bored, arrived here, escorted by two knights.

Unlike Limeia's more understated style, this girl's personality is bright and flamboyant, as can be seen from the colors of her clothes.

The bright red dress, with leather fabric tightly wrapped around the upper body, and the skirt, though not long, flared out naturally like a parasol, resembling a princess dress, and was quite fluffy.

"The Second Princess, Kellysa."

Just like her clothes, Kelissa revealed a smile that was different from her sister's intellectual and aloof demeanor. Instead, it was a very strong and unrestrained smile, and one could tell at a glance that she was probably a member of the British militant faction.

"I'm...I'm sorry, I've kept the meeting running late."

Quite by chance, the last member of the royal faction hurriedly ran over, lifting the hem of her skirt.

She was wearing a green dress, had long golden hair and snow-white skin. Judging from her appearance and personality, she actually fits the innocent and naive feeling of a princess in a fairy tale better.

That's exactly how it is.

The princess, who appeared to be quite gentle and only in her early twenties, shrank back upon seeing so many people and stammered as she spoke.

"Princess... Third Princess Vivian, I'm sorry I'm late."

The three British princesses, each with a distinct personality, appeared directly in the conference room.

"Really..."

The Queen of England seemed quite troubled by her daughter's personality, scratching her head as she did so.

“My daughters are still the same as before, quite extreme.”

It is indeed quite extreme. Although you can tell from their appearances that these three girls must be blood-related sisters, their differences in personality are quite subtle.

However, according to Makoto Haramura's understanding, these three princesses were indeed responsible for different areas of the country due to their own personalities.

Princess Limeia is extremely intelligent and cunning. Her greatest strength lies in her mind, but precisely because of this, the more intelligent she is, the more suspicious she becomes. To the point that she doesn't trust anyone, even more so than Xiao Qi. She is wary of even her own sisters and biological mother.

Because of this, she almost never had a fixed place of residence, and changing residences regularly was a must. She even kept a pet to test for poisons, and she would always take it with her when she went out, in case she was poisoned.

Basically, she is now in charge of all the political affairs of the United Kingdom.

The second princess, Kelissa.

With a strong personality and an extremely tough attitude, she prefers to solve everything with force. Because of her tough style, she is very popular in the military, or rather, has a very high reputation. Therefore, this princess focuses almost entirely on the military, and she is in charge of the country's military power.

The Third Princess, Vivian.

Gentle and humble, naturally kind and of noble character, she is praised by many. Although she lacks assertiveness because she cares too much about the feelings of others, she is the person who appears most often in the media representing the royal family in public.

Because of her good personality and beautiful face, she is also listed by all British men as the most desirable marriage partner.
