Three days later
Holy Glory Empire - Imperial Senate
This is the most magnificent building on the imperial star of the Holy Radiant Empire.
It sits atop the five 'giants'.
Five giant steel statues, each ten thousand meters tall, stood in a circle, each holding a spear and facing outwards.
The other hand holds a castle high above.
That is the Imperial Senate.
The five statues outside represent the five consuls elected by the Imperial Senate.
These five governors guard the Holy Glory Empire.
That's what Saint Cana used to think.
But now, perhaps she understands.
These five statues of power do not protect the Holy Glory Empire; they protect the high-ranking members of the Imperial Senate and the noble forces.
The shuttle slowly descended.
Saint Cana followed her father and second uncle off the shuttle.
Saint Cana glanced around and saw that quite a few people had arrived in twos and threes.
Although the Holy Angels family is not as powerful as the Saints family, it is still among the top five families in the Holy Radiance Empire.
This meeting was held because the Holy Angels family, who had originally opposed the relocation plan, indicated that they would consider it.
Therefore, almost all the major family forces came.
However, even Saint Cana herself did not expect so many people to come.
She had initially thought that it was just a few families, the elders of the Imperial Senate, and a few consuls who had come.
But the current number of people is more than ten times greater than she had imagined.
It didn't feel like a meeting, but rather... a banquet.
"Why are there so many people?" Saint Cana asked, frowning.
Uncle laughed and said, "Isn't this normal? This meeting is very important."
The migration plan is not simply about leaving here and going to another place to survive.
For example, who will hold key positions in this plan, how resources will be allocated, and how many people from each faction will be able to board this starship on its long voyage.
The answer is already quite obvious.
Everything is about the distribution of benefits.
Saint Cana remained silent and followed her father and second uncle through the gates of the Imperial Senate.
The scene inside the gate disgusted Saint Cana.
Behind the gates of the Imperial Senate is a large square, and beyond that is the Senate's council hall.
Originally, this Senate Square was used for holding special ceremonies.
Now, however, it's filled with all sorts of food and decorations.
It's practically a banquet venue.
Those who arrived earlier were now chatting and laughing in small groups, dressed in fine clothes, holding wine glasses.
Some even brought along beautiful female companions.
You can still hear their joking and teasing every now and then.
All of this seemed utterly ridiculous to Saint Cana.
Such a grand banquet could probably provide logistical support for the frontline fleet.
ridiculous!
Utterly ridiculous!
Saint Cana walked through them expressionlessly.
During this time, many people saw Saint Cana appear, picked up their wine glasses, and went up to greet her, wanting to chat for a bit.
After all, the Holy Angel Legion is now one of the few legions and fleets in the Holy Light Legion that has preserved its combat strength.
But Saint Cana completely ignored these people and walked straight past them.
"Hey, Saint Cana. Someone's greeting you." Saint Cana's second uncle looked helplessly at the guests and said, "I'm sorry, everyone."
My niece is just like that; she's not good at these kinds of situations.
............
Saint Cana ignored her second uncle.
Within the Holy Angels family, there were naturally some who supported the relocation plan, with his second uncle leading the way.
Her father, Patriarch St. George, was always in a state of flux.
Prior to this, Saint Cana had been determined to uphold the Holy Radiant Empire, and Patriarch Saint George naturally sided with his daughter.
"Saint Cana, what... exactly do you want to do this time?" Chief Saint George asked, walking beside his daughter in a voice only the two of them could hear.
Chief St. George still finds it utterly baffling that his daughter has suddenly expressed a willingness to consider the relocation plan.
He believed he knew his daughter very well.
Knowing his daughter's temperament, she would absolutely not agree to give up the Holy Glory Empire.
“Father, I have my own plans,” Saint Cana said quietly.
Just as Saint Cana was about to reach the Senate council hall, the door opened.
Several figures walked out at that moment.
"Chief Saint George, Commander Saint Cana; let's hold this meeting right here." A gaunt old man in military uniform stood in the middle.
When Patriarch St. George saw this man, he was the first to bow: "Greetings, Consul Andrew."
This person is Andrew, the governor of the Central Star Region, who is also the chief elder of the Imperial Senate and the former patriarch of the Saint Family.
With these three identities, one can imagine how prestigious this person's status is within the Holy Glory Empire.
On either side of him stood two people.
On the left are Ernest, the Eastern Sector Governor who once led an expedition to Warhammer, and Stanford, the Southern Sector Governor who had made contact with the Wyvern Legion during the Star Alliance.
On the right is a tall, beautiful noblewoman. She is the only one among them who is not wearing a military uniform, but she is none other than Governor Melissa from the Western Star Region.
The last, burly middle-aged man was Gilbert, the Northern Star Region Administrator, who possessed the most military bearing among them.
All five consuls were present.
In addition, a group of elders from the Imperial Senate also came out.
They stood on the steps in front of the Senate's council hall, looking down at the crowd in the square, displaying the weight and importance of their status.
The noble guests in the square also stopped their conversation and looked at these rulers who were located at the top of the pyramid of the Holy Glory Empire.
"Alright, based on the unanimous decision made within our Senate."
The majority agreed, and the minority abstained.
We have adopted a relocation plan and will begin its implementation.
The purpose of summoning them here this time is to establish the detailed procedures for the relocation plan.
Once these are finalized, we will be ready in the shortest possible time.
"Then, carrying the seeds of hope for the Holy Radiance Empire, we will set off for distant lands to seek a future belonging to the Holy Light!" Governor Andrew of the Central Star Region said, raising his hand.
The crowd below applauded and cheered.
Saint Cana watched this scene with icy eyes.
She had told her father to convey to the Imperial Senate that the Holy Angels family did not oppose the relocation plan.
With the Holy Angels family's 'tacit approval,' the relocation plan naturally faced no further obstacles.
Therefore, Saint Cana got the list she wanted.
At this moment, she could finally shed her disguise.
Expose the hypocrisy of these people in front of you.
Saint Cana suddenly stepped forward, pointing angrily at Consul Andrew.
"The future of the Holy Light?"
I don't know where the future of the Holy Light lies.
But I know that the Holy Light will never allow people like you to abandon trillions of people in the Holy Radiant Empire and live a life of ignominy.
You are traitors to the Holy Light!
