Chapter 138 The Crown That Was Transferred
"Alice, my daughter, come here."
Summer on the Trian beach has a unique charm. Sunlight streams through the clouds, and the long winter has passed, bringing the first rays of dawn to the citizens of Amelancy.
This is a brand new beginning, and also the beginning of the end of a glorious era. Alicia, wearing a swimsuit, leaned against a beach chair, while Alice sat beside her, her long white hair cascading down like a waterfall. Her white bikini swimsuit just covered her private parts, but her attempt to cover her body with her hands, trying to give herself some sense of security, was completely unnatural.
"Oh dear, do I really have to dress like this?"
Alice's face flushed slightly, and Alicia simply hugged her, her slightly cold hands encircling Alice. Although the vampires of this world were not afraid of sunlight, their body temperature was relatively low, which, in Alice's words, gave them a "natural infrared protection function."
"How adorable~ Little Alice, my little princess, um......."
Alicia looked at her. Five years had passed in the blink of an eye. Alice had gradually adapted to everything and had become a young and outstanding vampire princess. However, the princess's status was fragile. As a strong reformer, Alice's princess status had always been a stumbling block to her.
"Oh... Mother, Mother!!"
Alicia patted Alice's head and looked out at the sea. Beyond the sea lay a wasteland, and beyond that wasteland lay a completely new continent. Amelansi's colonization activities had successfully reached another continent and a chapter of ancient history.
"Alright, alright, little Alice, listen carefully to what I'm about to say."
Alicia released Alice, letting her sit properly to the side. Alice sat up, her pale, sickly body, devoid of any excess fat, exposed to the sunlight.
"Ok?"
Alice clasped her legs together, her small feet gripping the sand with a slight force. Her long eyelashes framed a pair of scarlet eyes that stared at Alicia. Her head was tilted slightly, and the strands of hair on her cheeks drooped down, reflecting a dazzling white light in the sunlight, making her look like a pure angel from church scriptures.
"You...you, my child, the Queen of Amelia, should be yours. I am increasingly feeling powerless."
Alicia sighed. The world was changing too fast. She found that things were getting further and further away from everything she had ever known in her life. Everything was getting better and more brilliant, but she couldn't make it even more brilliant on her own.
"Huh? Why?"
“You created all of this, not me. This is the kingdom you created, not the kingdom I created. I have long been a loser, ruling a region solely out of my obsession with revenge.”
As Alicia spoke, she picked up a bottle opener and a Coke bottle, and with a hiss, popped the cap open, releasing a cloud of bubbles from the chilled Coke. Ange, standing nearby, casually placed a paper straw into the Coke bottle.
"So, Queen Alice of Amelia, it's time for you to sit on the throne."
Alicia snapped her fingers, and Ange pulled out a pair of sunglasses, handing them to Alicia, who then put them on.
"Me? I can't..."
"Are you really incapable, my—Your Majesty?"
Alicia smiled. Alice turned to look to the side, where several powerful government officials had arrived at some point. Alicia stood up, drinking her cola through a straw, and called out to them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, swear allegiance to the new Queen!"
Alice was completely bewildered. She knew that she would eventually take control of everything, but she never expected it to happen so quickly, as if it were a dream.
"Long live Her Majesty Queen Alice!"
"The Great Alice!"
Surrounded by cheers, Alice picked up a bottle of iced cola and looked at Alicia, who blinked. Alice said somewhat helplessly, "Are you just handing over supreme power to me like this?"
"The title of Empress has bound me for too long, Alice—Your Majesty~ Now, I can finally do my own thing~ Take good care of the house!"
This person is basically just going to wash their hands of the business and go traveling and having fun, right? That must be it!
Alice remained silent, watching Alicia continue to enjoy the beach on the deck chair. Alicia was having a good time, but the burden suddenly fell on Alice's shoulders, making her feel somewhat ashamed.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen! Thank you for your approval. However, I think this matter still needs to be discussed, and the most crucial point is—the reorganization of the national system!"
The current official name for Amelansi is the Provisional Government of Amelansi, which indicates that Amelansi has not yet been formalized and is not actually a formal sovereign state.
For Amelia, the question of what to do next is a dilemma. Alice has countless ideas vying for power, but none of them seem to lead to the future she desires.
After all, she couldn't possibly rebel against herself. The army, navy, and aerospace force of the Amelansi nation, which she created, were transformed in her own way. Now, they no longer pledge allegiance directly to the Empress, but to the nation. Although the Empress is the main member of the Amelansi Supreme Military Council, the highest military leadership body, all its decisions are made through collective voting, making it a true centralized voting system.
Therefore, whether a presidential system, a monarchy, or a dictatorship is implemented, the result will be the same: it will not change the government system known as the "America system".
However, there are differences between the various systems. The ultimate goal of the system that Alice wants to promote is to transform into a modern state, but how to promote this progress in a way that suits local conditions remains a problem.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for your contributions to Amelansi, a nation that has risen from the ashes over the past few years. Long live Amelansi! Long live the nation and its people!"
"Long live Ameliancy!"
Long live the nation and the people!
The crowd cheered, and Alice, of course, still heard the shouts of "Long live Her Majesty Queen Alice!" She simply smiled and then raised her glass with Alicia.
“Amelansi has been unified, and this new nation urgently needs a strong central government and a great leader. There is no doubt that there is only one candidate for this government and leader, neither the current empress nor any general.”
"Alice Delalaye, she is the savior of the demon race, the fair judge of all races, the explorer of natural science, the seeker of the unknown, and the creator of modern Amelansi. Only she, our great Amelansi, can become a first-class nation in this world."
The editorial appeared in various newspapers the very next day, and even the Times, which symbolized the official mouthpiece of Amerlane, mentioned it in a veiled way on its front page.
And Alice? She's still vacationing at the beach with Alicia; after all, this is the best time of year for the beach.
