Queen Skadi was very different from her predecessor. To the Queen of a born merchant family, the tradition inherent in the Duchy was not an untouchable iron curtain. From the Princess to the current Queen of the Duchy, of course, no one would oppose her now.

The change she made was not to be cautious, but to correct the backward laws of the Duchy with great speed, and at the same time to introduce the New Deal, separating the military from the political. The real command of the army had always been in her own hands, and now, of course, it was her turn to speak.

The people on the square looked at the woman on the throne in awe and awe. The reason for that was because the Queen herself represented authority and power, but what surprised them was that she was the Queen's age. Even when she was in her prime, not many people had seen her appearance.

But this did not prevent her from speaking.

As she spoke, the citizens listened in silence. The general content of Skadi's speech was to guard the city against what they had done that day, and to reveal a small tail during the speech, as if to indicate that something more important was about to happen.

The true heroes of this war had to be announced, not to mention that even in this empty state of the capital, the greatest number of people who could protect Hetton Mal with such casualties were the members of the student council. Even if they had heard of yesterday's war from the people around them, they would still be attracted to their deeds.

Liang Yue looked at the brand-new lieutenant colonel uniform on her body, feeling a little empty in her head. She didn't expect that she would actually accept the award like this. He had thought that it would be the same as when she had obtained the Silver Wings.

Of course, he was not the only one who had advanced to the rank of lieutenant colonel. Since Salia had also advanced to the rank of lieutenant colonel, the rest of the members were relatively weaker compared to Liang Yue and Salia, so their ranks were lower as well. They had all advanced from first lieutenant to a major, and Xiu Ya, who was standing beside Liang Yue, continued to emit cold air as usual.

Counting the number of people, mm …

Six people. Liang Yue shook his head and counted once more. It really was six people.

Why was there one more person? He remembered that Anna was going with the Queen today, right? Then who was the one speaking to her?

Thinking about it carefully, Liang Yue knew the answer. Other than Elizabeth, Liang Yue was the only one with bright blond hair. Furthermore, from this position, she was standing by Selia's side, which meant that her relationship with her was much better than the others.

Golantis noticed his gaze and smiled at him, greeting him.

He felt a little strange. Why were the members of the Holy Church here? They were wearing the uniform of a major. Weren't they refusing to join the military? Was it really appropriate for a cardinal to come here to be a major?

At the entrance stood the old man who had stood with Anna on the day of the ball. Of course, Liang Yue didn't know, but everyone had indeed seen him before in the palace, so they smiled at him before walking out of the hall.

The silver medal on their chest reflected dazzling light, and Liang Yue's eyes were wide open as she looked strangely at their medal. You all have a medal, and even the student union's shortest member, Xiyue, has two silver medals, just that they look even more beautiful without a moon. The more outrageous ones are Salia and Golantz, both of whom have a gold medal hanging on their chest, and the one that can be considered a cross is clearly the one that was announced for her.

Were these people usually not in class? They were free to go out everyday to take missions from the Royal Family.

The meaning in her eyes was very clear, as if she was talking about someone who usually made you lazy, but what she said was indeed like this. Although Liang Yue didn't really care about this kind of thing, but in this situation, although she was standing in the middle, she really didn't have any face.

It was fine to pretend not to know about it at this time. He originally wanted to do this, but after knowing that he had the least medal, he always felt that those gazes were looking at him.

In fact, many of the citizens had already seen the members of the Student Union before, but who would have the leisure to look at so many people like them? Furthermore, Liang Yue could feel that his gaze was not on his medal, but on his face. In order to get the award today, Salia had even specially dressed it up for Liang Yue.

When the queen's speech was completed, the eight of them also came to the throne. They knelt down before the two of them, and Skadi looked at them with great satisfaction. Anna walked to her side, took her arm, and the two of them descended the steps.

The square was abnormally quiet. It seemed as if the surroundings were filled with sound amplifying magic. The sound of their high heels on the red carpet could be heard clearly.

At this moment, Liang Yue's mood had also become serious, and the surrounding atmosphere had become abnormally solemn. Behind her was the orderly sounds of people kneeling down. He was half-kneeling, gazing at the ground.

The light before his eyes was slightly blocked, and the red carpet under his feet seemed to have become even redder. He knew who was standing in front of him.

Because she squatted down, her red skirt had a few wrinkles on it, and her head was gently lifted up by a white hand. Anna squatted in front of him, holding his chin, and looking at him with a smile on her face, just like that night when she had seen him, she was even more beautiful than that night, and compared to that night's reluctance, she was even more meticulously dressed up for herself.

Just as Queen Skadi helped Selia up, Selia saw this scene. From the corner of her eyes, Liang Yue could feel Selia's fierce gaze and even saw Queen Skadi's pupils slightly constrict.

Skadi glared at Anna, indicating that she should obediently follow the procedure. Anna didn't have any other choice, she could only lift Liang Yue up, and her lips gently moved.

"I'll give you a surprise later!"
