Britain has chosen Moran Edelfelt as king.
This matter has been communicated to the British government's cabinet and parliament through the Clock Tower; both the surface world and the inner world are aware of it.
The high-ranking officials and nobles who believe in Britain raised their glasses.
They welcomed the era of the new king.
The selection of the new king was a great joy for the people of Britain, and even the parliament and cabinet felt the same.
However, for Moran, it was not so good.
Just listening to the daily schedule arranged by Lorelei made his scalp tingle.
Moran needed to meet with the current head of state, the highest judicial officer, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, the imperial church, and so on… over a hundred important political figures of the country, letting them know who their king was and personally accepting their kneeling and loyalty.
Among them, there were church organizations.
However, this was not the Holy Church extended from human reason, but an organization established by the people of Britain in worship of the successive kings.
Through reading history, Moran discovered the original reason for the establishment of the Imperial Church—
After the unification of the dynasty, the king of Britain faced an invasion of faith from the Holy Church. In response, the then king of Britain chose to consolidate Britain's faith to establish an organization to counter the Holy Church, which was the invasion of human reason.
This organization was called the Imperial Church.
It was a church established based on the belief in the successive kings.
Once, in the ancient divine era, there existed beings formed from faith, different from natural deities—
It began with humans, but due to various factors, they transcended the mundane causality and became heroes or saviors as objects of faith.
This example could not be more fitting for Moran.
He saved Britain, which was supposed to be extinct, and thus was revered by the people as a savior akin to a deity.
However, Moran never thought of becoming a god.
Those beliefs thus flowed into the principle wall that enveloped Britain, inadvertently extending the divine era of governance.
One could say that the later kings did not disappoint Moran.
There was still some time before the official coronation; all of Great Britain was preparing for the coronation ceremony.
As for where Moran was currently—
"Your Majesty, it is truly an honor for you to take time out of your busy schedule to meet with me. Recently, Britain has become lively, and everyone is delighted for your arrival."
"Ah, for me, happiness belongs to others; those piles of troubles belong to me.
Let's not talk about these troublesome matters, lest Lorelei and the others come to catch me again.
Marisbury, I already met with McDonell this morning. If you want to discuss the power struggle regarding the Clock Tower, I'm not interested."
In a reception room of a certain department of the Clock Tower.
Moran met with Marisbury.
Although the legal department could handle the various matters of the Clock Tower, Moran had no intention of dealing with the various public affairs and the handover with the surface world; it was too troublesome.
Initially, when dealing with internal affairs in Greece, Moran had no choice.
Now that Moran could calmly enjoy life, he still needed to handle these tedious political affairs. Moran was quite unwilling to do so.
When Moran intended to be a carefree manager, it was Lorelei who stepped up.
Although she was the agent of the Clock Tower, she often dealt with the cabinet and parliament in the surface world.
Considering the new king's identity as a magus, both the cabinet and parliament hoped that Lorelei would serve as a bridge to assist the new king in handling various affairs.
After all, the new king had only been chosen a few days ago.
They knew it was impossible to let the new king handle these matters alone, so someone familiar with both sides of the world and with deep connections to the upper echelons of Britain had to help.
Perhaps due to the impression left by Moran's casualness and lack of etiquette, or perhaps out of a sense of duty as a subordinate.
Lorelei chose to take on this role.
The once high-and-mighty queen of the policy department thus became the temporary secretary of the new king of Britain.
Her daily duty was to teach Moran what a king should do.
One must say, she was indeed loyal.
In terms of personality, she was also very stubborn.
Even when facing the king, she did not intend to curry favor.
Lorelei would honestly offer advice to Moran and directly correct the mistakes he made, advising him on etiquette according to the highest royal standards.
Moran had faced such troublesome subordinates before, so he had no way to deal with Lorelei.
Her intention was to make Moran an excellent king worthy of the throne of Britain.
For this, Lorelei was particularly strict.
So strict that Moran couldn't help but wonder if she still held a grudge over the matter of the throne being taken.
Many times, Moran thought about simply laying it all out.
But in the end, he held back.
"Hehe, I won't waste your time discussing trivial matters; the Animusphere family has never liked political struggles.
We are all intelligent people, so I won't beat around the bush with you.
Your Majesty, what I want to offer you is the grand order of the Animusphere family, which is the guarantee of human reason, a final goal that we will exhaust our family's strength to achieve."
Marisbury solemnly said to Moran.
His eyes sparkled like flickering flames.
In the past, he attempted to participate in the Holy Grail War to raise funds, only to learn that the city of Snowfield was a damaged and incomplete Holy Grail foundation.
It could not fulfill its own wishes.
Marisbury came before the new king in search of hope; he wanted to obtain financial assistance.
"Organization for the Preservation of Human Order: Chaldea.
It is a magical workshop built to keep secrets and locations safe.
It is not an observatory that gazes at the stars of the universe from Earth, but rather an observatory built to overlook everything on Earth from the void…
I remember it this way?"
"It seems… you are already quite clear about Chaldea."
Upon hearing Marisbury's words, Moran couldn't help but want to laugh; he was thoroughly familiar with Chaldea.
One could say that Chaldea held significant meaning for him as well.
It was not so easy to forget.
"Your Majesty, Chaldea is a research institute and observatory that gathers researchers from various fields, regardless of magecraft or science, to ensure that human history can continue for a long time and remain resilient!
Observing this world cannot be fully grasped by magecraft alone, nor can it be comprehended by science alone.
Its fundamental purpose is to prevent our extinction! Chaldea is necessary and irreplaceable for us!"
Marisbury spoke passionately.
He explained to Moran the concept behind the establishment of Chaldea.
The plan for Chaldea began in 1950.
The Animusphere family had invested too much energy and effort over the decades, and Marisbury hoped that this plan could be realized.
Moran quietly watched Marisbury.
This silence made Marisbury feel tormented.
The various technologies of Chaldea were already prepared; they only lacked funding to officially launch the plan.
He urgently needed someone to help him.
