Celestina Shoukan

Chapter 7 - The First Council Meeting

Celestina Empire, Imperial Capital of Regnieburg, 22nd January 1524 / 223

It was one day before the Council Meeting that was held annually by the Main Council begun. Diplomats from multiple nations and different worlds are gathered. Celestina deploys 2 Aerial-class Light Cruiser, 1 Audhumla-class Heavy Cruiser, 2 Council-class Diplomat Cruiser, 6 Firefly-class Heavy Frigate, 4 Firefly-class Light Sniper Frigate, and 3 Archangel-class Mobile Field Dressing Corvette for security on the sky and space above the capital. For the sea, they deploy 1 Scharlwarltz-class Superheavy Battleship, 2 Vanguard-class Battleship, 4 Guardian-class Aircraft Carrier, 4 Valkyrie-class Cruiser, 4 Halcyon-class Light Missile Cruiser, 7 pairs of Magnetic-class and Plasma-class Destroyer, 6 Assault-class Destroyer, and 8 Aurora-class Healing Aura Corvette.

The security was tight since the Celestina Empire is really serious about hosting the Council Meeting. Not only it was important for Celestina Citizen, but the diplomats who holds a diplomatic relationship with Celestina are also interested to see how far Celestina goes.

"This is the first time I've seen the capital like this..."

Yago commented on how the civilians continue their activity as usual despite there are armed forces from multiple countries and different worlds. Lizardman, Angels, Werewolf, Vampires, all of them are walking around casually in the streets of the capital. Normally, some are mortal enemies such as Vampires and Werewolves. However, one of the oddities is both could be coming from other worlds where they are co-existing without any problems.

Even he was just returned from Qua-Toyne three days ago, this time the delegates are up to 25 people. He remembers the message given by Ambrose, a diplomat, and his guide when returning to Celestina.

"Remember, your country is the first country to attend this meeting in this world. They may look alike the same for appearance, but you need to know that they are coming from a different world. Some races could be the same, but their ways of life might be different. Please consider this information."

Celestina gives them heads up that they can form a diplomatic relationship with other nations from another world. However, when trading or transporting between worlds, they can only use Celestina as the hub due to the only country that can transport between worlds faster and efficiently. They are also being notified that there could be a race that could be like their enemies, so they need to take extra caution when approaching them since they could be unrelated to things happening in this new world.

"I wonder how Celestina Empire manage to maintain this kind of feat?"

There are a lot of mysteries around Celestina where it needs more people to explore and to harvest the resources. Yago reads the Celestina Empire's profile, and he didn't expect that the Celestina Empire was constantly ruled by the Main Council ever since it was built. The Prime Minister was selected by the election at each of the territories and they hold a responsibility to continue the legacy of the Main Council's program as each Territory houses a unique specialist.

Studia specialized in Academics and Research, Mechania specialized in Machinery and Science Technology, Geffen specialized in Magic Technology and Magic advancement. Sahara specialized in animals and its product. Natunia specialized in the natural product, Byade specialized in insects and its product, Rawley specialized in Defense and Military, Childre specialized at the orphanage, Medical Magic and Technology, Regnieburg were specialized at Ore and Administration. The only vassal countries of Celestina, the Kingdom of Embellia, specialize in seafood, sea products, and aquatic materials.

The best Prime Minister during five years of its rule will be crowned as an Emperor by the Main Council. The rest will enter a period of rest before they can participate again in an election.
