"We, the Kingdom of Klein, propose that the Dauphin Cesar ascend the throne and send a representative from each country to serve as his successor.

The first to speak was the second prince Arthur.

"Yes, we, the Kingdom of Egelea, think that would be a good idea. And it would be preferable to have the same number of representatives from each country.

The Duke of Bruu agreed.

The Marquis of Florenziano agreed with him.

The Prince of Shawlo agrees with me.

The Marquis Gehlen Theodoric spoke on behalf of the chairwoman.

"...... the remaining members are Jin-kun, no, <>, but do you have another opinion?"

"No, no, I agree with that opinion. I think it would be a good idea to advise the crown prince right after this.

Jin was a little flustered at being asked for his opinion, but he had his thoughts in order and was able to reply immediately.

After all, as the old man had said, Jin was treated equally with the representatives of each country.

"Then, it was unanimously decided to recommend that His Royal Highness the Dauphin Cesar ascend the throne.

The scribes, Reinhard, Matth?us, and Fritz, are running the pen.

The reason for the large number of scribes is that seven copies of the same document are to be sent to ...... Shoro, Egelea, Klein, Franz, Elias, Kunlun, and most importantly, to the Kingdom of Selroa.

It is a little time-consuming since there is no copy of the document, but it is inevitable.

The representatives of each country read through all seven sheets and signed them.

As Jin looked at them, he thought that it would be difficult in the future if something is not done about the preparation of these minutes.

"...... no doubt."

All seven sheets were read through and signed for confirmation. They were then distributed again to the representatives of each country,

"Now then, I will go to His Royal Highness the Dauphin Cesar.

The empress stood up.

"Please bring at least one representative from each country with you.

However, there was no point in remaining here, so all present left the conference room.

They leave the guesthouse in a group, including the golem guarding them. The guard tried to say something to them, but after Fritz and Matheus explained the situation, they bowed respectfully and withdrew.

What is the matter with you all?

Since the Guillaume Palace was half-destroyed, the Dauphin was in a medium-sized palace called the , which stood further in the back of the palace. The Dauphin was in a medium-sized mansion called the , which was built at the back of the palace. For the Dauphin Cesar, he was his grandfather.

"We are aware that we are interfering in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Celuloa, but we are here to propose that His Royal Highness the Dauphin Cesar Valois accede to the throne and become Cesar Valois de Celuloa for the sake of the peace of our country and to end the turmoil in the Kingdom of Celuloa.

Prince Arthur spoke on behalf of the group. He had decided on the way here that it would be better for him to make the announcement, as he was also a prince, rather than for the queen emperor to do so.

"That is ......"

"No, I know you are shocked by what happened to your father. But you are royalty and you must do your duty.

Prince Arthur was quite eloquent.

"I beg your pardon. Elsa Ehime, who is here, says that the king's condition is not good and that he is unlikely to recover. And it is worrisome that the country is without a leader.

"......"

"If you insist that the necessary procedures for accession to the throne must be taken, then provisional accession is acceptable. Your Highness, for the sake of the country and the people, please become king."

Perhaps sensing Arthur's unusually passionate words, the Dauphin Cesar seemed to have made up his mind.

"I understand. Will you all lend me your help, as indicated in this document ......?"

"Of course I do."

They all nodded their heads in agreement.

"Thank you very much. I will now move to become César Valois de Celuloa.

"Your Highness. We will help you in any way we can.

The Dauphin nodded slowly at Prince Arthur's words.

"First of all, I must take the symbol of the king and declare my accession to the throne in front of my ministers. Fortunately, due to the disturbance, all those who remained in the capital have gathered here, so I will perform the coronation ceremony, albeit in a simplified form, immediately after this.

"What is this key seal?"

Jin asked, unintentionally, since he had never heard of this item before.

"Our country is proud of its magical engineering. Therefore, there are several magic tools that can be activated only by the king, and this is literally a to activate them.

It is said that the shape is not a key in the common sense, but more like a seal as Jin knows it. It seems that by pressing it against the key, one can activate a special magic tool.

Jin wondered if this could be the < to enter the strange building that Lao Tzu had mentioned.

"But I am a little reluctant to take it without permission after my father's condition. ......"

The crown is normally conferred by the prior king in front of the ministers and the people, along with the title, he said.

"However, it is a state of emergency. We hope you don't mind, if we may say so ourselves."

Prince Arthur is nine years younger than Cesar, but his calm demeanor and the way he quieted Cesar were quite dignified.

"Your Highness!"

Just then, a cabinet member arrived. They were Rambouleau, Secretary of the First Ministry of the Interior, Latente, Secretary of the First Ministry of Technology, Bojoly, Secretary of the First Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Lagarde, Secretary of the First Military Ministry.

The wounds seem to have healed.

"Oh, my goodness!"

"Your Highness, I heard that Your Majesty is suddenly ill, so I flew here."

Ramburo said breathlessly.

"It is shameful that he should have been injured in bed at such an important time of the year."

Ragaredo, the First Secretary of the Ministry of War, spoke up in a brusque manner.

The Dauphin looked around at the four men and then spoke quietly.

"Yes. That's right. And there will be no recovery in the foreseeable future. Therefore, I have decided to accede to the throne.

"What?

Ramburo and the other four were startled out of their wits and panicked.

But when they understood the significance of the gathering of representatives from each country, they knelt before Cesar in a reverent attitude.

"...... I pledge my allegiance to His Majesty the new king."

"Yes. I look forward to working with you."

"Yes, sir."

Then I will give the first order. The simplest ceremony will be performed in the coming days, so get ready for the coronation.

"Yes, sir."

Bowing deeply, the four men left.

"Now, the coronation will be held tomorrow or the day after. Until then, we have a lot of work to do. The only problem is that I will not be able to hear the word of accession from my father. My mother has already passed away."

Looking back, the new King Cesar smiled sadly.

"As promised, we will help you as much as we can.

The Empress Shoro assured the new King with a gentle pat on his shoulder.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Jin and Reinhardt were to work on the rebooting of the stuck golem, just as Jin had predicted the day before.

And a magecraftsman was dispatched from the Kingdom of Celluloa as well.

"So you are Mr. Reinhardt. It's an honor to meet you.

"It is my pleasure."

Reinhard shook hands with the Magi Craftsman of the Kingdom of Selroa.

His name is .

He is the Magi Craftsman who created the <>.

His rank is Gamma, or third place, because he was demoted in the triennial selection committee this past January due to his defeat by Reinhardt's Black Knight (Schwarzlitter), J?rmer did not show any such concern, but smiled and shook hands with Reinhardt.

J?rmer Balz Gamma is 27 years old, three years older than Reinhardt. He had dark brown hair and gray eyes, and was as small as Jin.

Reinhardt was surprised that the man with whom he had created the <> was so young. Putting himself on the shelf.

He then introduces Jin to Yalmah.

"This is , the Magecraft Meister, Sir Jin Nido.

Hearing this, J?rmaa burst out in childish glee.

"You!　I have heard of you!　You are a magical engineer beyond my skill. I would like to take this opportunity to ask you to teach me a few things.

His manner was so sincere that even Jin couldn't help but feel a sense of betrayal,

"I'm very grateful.

Jin simply replied, "Thank you.

Then, let's get to work.

It will be reassuring to have Mr. J?rmer, the creator of this project, with us.

Their task was to change the master of the Golem automata, whose sole master was the former king Richard, to the new king Cesar.

The suspended magic tools will be taken care of by another group of people.

Normally, Erza is skilled enough to help with this task, but since she is needed by the healing team, she is occupied with that task. Reiko is the only one who is helping them.

Anne and Lao Tzu are going to gather information under the guise of helping to clear away the debris and check on the palace.

Lily and Rose are to guard . Lily and Rose are to guard , in case anyone tries to steal it in the confusion of the moment.

Fritz will be using to help reinforce the broken palace so that it will not collapse any further.

Most of the representatives were also discussing various ways to prevent the chaos that would accompany the accession of the new king.

Some, such as Marcia, Jessica, and Cynthia, were not available at the moment.

Meanwhile, the Dauphin Cesar was looking for the key seal, the proof of his kingship, but he had not found it yet.
