260 – The Most Gorgeous Coffin for You (4)
[Hapsberg, flying in the sky.]
The sentence is one of the headlines that appeared on the front page of the Imperial Newspaper in the first year of the Unification Year.
The article included a scene of a ship flying in the sky, and there were also separate photos of imperial officials, including the Habsburg Emperor, and people from Nostrum boarding the ship together.
-We are now at the scene of history! Wow, damn it! The ship flies in the sky!
The voice of the reporter shouted at the time is vivid.
If you think about storing the recorded sound in a magic stone and delivering it, you could just purify it and deliver the news, but the voice contained a miracle that you could see with your eyes and a vivid sense of reality.
Literally, the ship flew in the sky.
It was not the Grand Wizard, like the great hero of Nostrum, who lifted the ship into the sky, nor did he forcefully lift the ship by tying ropes to hundreds of drakes.
The victory of imperial alchemy and magic engineering.
The Habsburg Emperor even made such an expression about the ships in the sky.
-We have conquered magic, and now it is the era of humanity.
It may be said that putting just a ship in the air is an age of humanity, but as I heard it at the time, the Habsburg emperor seemed impressed in many ways as he spoke those words.
At least for that moment, he was happy like a child.
Like a person who has achieved his goal and fulfilled his long-held wish
So I thought.
History changed due to regression, and I thought that depending on the choices I made in the future, there would be cases where things would go the same as before and other cases where it would be the other way around.
This time I tried to do the opposite.
The first person to put a ship in the sky would be Gray Gibraltar, and the person who would be recorded in the newspapers would be St. Geo Nostrum.
With a failed flight.
Or, although he was able to fly freely to some extent, he tragically died on the airship he loved so much only about half a year later.
I had such a plan, but due to his father’s request, I decided to change the direction a little.
‘It won’t be a problem. There’s no need to scrape and make crumbs.’
The Habsburg Emperor has a 99% guess that I am a regressor.
You probably have some awareness of airships.
First of all, in the process of getting to the airship, the foundation was laid several times like building a tower.
9 years ago, starting from the development of elevators to wind stones and magic autonomous ship jumps.
‘We have established procedures that even historians will not suspect, but only one person will doubt.’
Everyone would think, ‘After the need for the elevator, it took 9 years to reach the airship,’ but only the Habsburg Emperor would think that he enjoyed the privilege of a returnee.
Maybe you are thinking like this.
-The title of being the first person to board an airship in human history is being taken away from me. Is this some sort of revenge?
He is a great man who thinks it is a given that he was the first to board an airship in the future, and that he has returned to the past and changed that history.
He didn’t say anything, but the fact that he didn’t say anything was paradoxically proof that he knew.
‘I guess they’re just trying to see how far they’re going to go.’
Even though the Habsburg emperor knew that I was building a golden ship in the middle of a factory built on the plains of Barcelona, he tolerated it.
It’s natural.
It must be said that the Emperor was already aware of the plan from the time he informed Major General Bathory.
Even if Director Bathory had been too busy researching and neglected to report to the emperor, the emperor would have obtained information in other ways.
‘The eyes and ears of the emperor are not just Director Bathory.’
The use of elves disguised as workers as workers would have been exposed, and the enormous flow of materials and labor costs coming into the factory would have been noticed even before the factory was built.
In the first place, the 300 administrators working in Barcelona are the emperor’s people.
If you build a ship without even laying rails on bare land.
If you think about it on the premise that it is a returner, it is a person called Habsberg who suspects that it will be launched into the sky rather than a magical automatic ship running on land.
If you say I didn’t think about it, I’d be disappointed.
Then why did he leave the golden ship alone even though he knew it would become an airship?
‘And since I realized that its purpose was to deal with Saint Geo Nostrum, I left it alone.’
Golden crown.
The most expensive coffin ever decorated in history.
The first human to fly in the sky, but the man who gave humanity the greatest warning while riding a flying ship – Saint Geo Nostrum.
He is the one who will later make history by creating flight manuals such as ‘Flight Rules for Avoiding St. Geo’, so he is keeping quiet.
The plan went wrong.
The father wants to ride on an airship ‘with his family his’.
First of all, it was said to be a request from his younger siblings, but it must have been due to a number of complex reasons.
The title of first cannot be handed over to Saint Geo.
I can’t just hand over the Golden Ship to St.
Since summer vacation is coming, we invite Noir and the whole family can fly in the sky together and spend family time.
‘After all, the sky is a relatively safe location from threats.’
Over the years, it has been rare for the members of the House of Gibraltar to come together in one place.
All I had to do was for Noir and I to go home, but Noir was a student and I was busy with my work, so I couldn’t visit the Marquis’ Castle.
Flying wasn’t just about wanting to ride a flying ship.
In the picture drawn by the younger brothers, the entire Gibraltar family was smiling together inside the castle being dragged by several drakes.
Therefore.
The unpredictable whims of Saint Geo Nostrum.
Risk management for the Habsburg emperor’s first title.
And the House of Gibraltar, for our family time.
I decided to invite the Habsburg Emperor to the kingdom.
For that, of course, a political negotiation process was necessary.
Empire and?
No.
With the Kingdom of Nostrum.
* * *
“Is that why you called the royal family like this?”
“Yes, Queen Carmen.”
“It’s awkward to say she’s a queen. “My daughter is here as a co-king.”
“But wouldn’t it be awkward to call her Queen Mother?”
From noble mtl dot nete
“I see. Just call me queen like before.”
At the round table secretly set up in the royal capital, three generations of Morgania sit in a circle.
“Your father thinks so too, right? He doesn’t like it when his title suddenly changes to something stiff just because he’s older.”
“Hmm.”
Grand Duke of Winchester.
And the co-king who visited here in his Orosol Academy uniform.
“Queen Naria. This is an opportunity. It is a great opportunity to increase your political prestige, embrace Gibraltar, and lead relations with the Empire in a good direction.”
Even Naria Geo Nostrum, the three generations of Morgania are sitting in front of me.
“Let me formally invite you. In the name of Naria Geo Nostrum, Habsburg von Tersian.”
“…”
“I will leave the planning of specific protocols to the Grand Duke and Queen. Hasn’t the Emperor already visited Nostrum several times before? Hehe.”
“At that time, I was the crown prince…Sigh.”
Queen Carmen pressed her forehead with her hand and frowned.
“Okay. In what name?”
“It doesn’t matter what the cause is. The important thing is that he comes, and if you mobilize the shadows behind him, he will come on his own.”
“For the first time in human history, on an airship instead of a dragon?”
“Uhm…”
The Duke of Winchester crossed his arms and sighed.
“It’s a flying ship…”
“Do you think the Archduke would like to ride it too?”
“I did it because I wanted to see how valuable it was militarily, rather than because I wanted to ride it. Don’t you know that the magic automatic ships traveling throughout Nostrum were originally ‘warships’ of the Empire?”
It may be surprising, but it was like that.
“I’ve always said this, but if the purpose changes in an instant, we’ll be taken by surprise. Imperial soldiers hiding inside the magic automatic ship or train may suddenly pop out and raid the rear. And…”
“Now, if a ship flies through the sky, imperial soldiers may fall from the sky.”
“In the worst case, the Sword Master could fall from the sky.”
We, Nostrum, are currently enjoying great prosperity thanks to the Empire’s magic engineering technology, but we are always wary that it can be transformed into war facilities and resources in an instant.
“If all the people of the kingdom see it flying over Nostrum, they will fall into fear. The empire has created something like the legendary dragon.”
“…”
“Actually, I don’t think there’s much point in talking about this.”
The Duke of Winchester sighed heavily.
“You’ve already made up your mind.”
“Yes. It is a pain that you will experience at some point anyway. In that case, it would be easier to deal with it now.”
“Okay, let’s do that. I’ll think about keeping the Drake Knights in check through protocol.”
Perhaps, as soon as the Duke of Winchester crosses the canyon, he will attach the Drake Knights to the front of the airship.
It may not be a particular attempt to compete with the airship, but just showing the dragon flying against the airship in full force will certainly be enough as a military check against the empire.
The rest-
“Good. A good reason came to mind.”
Naria raised her hand.
“As expected, I guess I have no choice but to pull it.”
“Pulling, what?”
“It’s okay to not know.” It’s your engagement, Lord Grey.”
“…”
“We will hold an engagement ceremony in the Kingdom of Nostrum. That would be a perfect fit.”
“Queen Naria. That’s…”
“Don’t you like it?”
“…”
It’s not that I don’t like it.
If that is the justification, there is no reason or justification to refuse.
Just.
“I’m not sure if the emperor would want to come in person like that.”
It is unclear whether it is enough justification to make the emperor come on an airship and reveal the empire’s ‘core strategic assets’.
“I am not sure whether the emperor himself will come on a ship in the name of discussing an engagement ceremony, not because it is a marriage between the governor and princess, who holds the title of earldom of the kingdom.”
“Well, I have a way.”
Naria smiled.
“I can sell you, Gray.”
“…”
“Mother, please prepare a letter, and I only need to add one phrase: Lord Gray expects His Majesty the Emperor to visit his kingdom in the greatest pomp.”
“…”
Would that mean they would come?
“Guess… I must be busy preparing for the anniversary of September 9th, 99th year of the imperial calendar.”
I don’t know.
“Just try it.”

A few hours later.
A reply came from the empire.
The news that came through the imperial embassy in the royal capital was so urgent that it entered the kingdom before the ink on the letter written through the magic signal had even dried.
“…They say he’s coming?”
“…”
The accepted emperor.
“Instead, they say there are conditions.”
“What are the conditions? Are you saying that we have to at least defeat the Drake Knights?”
“Gray, they’re asking you to meet them. At the canyon.”
“…That.”
Queen Carmen shook her letter lightly and tilted her head as if she did not understand.
“Instead of greeting you in the royal capital, you’re going to come all the way to the canyon and pick me up. Why on earth?”
“That’s right.”
“There was some kind of contact, right?”
“It’s not like that. If I were to guess… “
Probably.
“That’s because the photos will be received the best.”
“…?”
“It’s a directing, a directing.”
Maybe it was to take pictures of the airship flying between the canyons.
