Ravel: Mother, are you okay?

Phoenix: Thank you for worrying my dear but I assure, there's nothing wrong with me.

Ravel: But—

Phoenix: No buts. I am completely fine. Speaking of buts, yours has gotten cuter.

Ravel: Mother!

Servant: Miss Phoenix! Miss Phoenix!

Phoenix: Is something wrong?

Servant: (heavy breathing) It's the kingdom, it's...

Phoenix: It's okay now, take a deep breath.

Servant: You must see this master Phoenix.

Phoenix: See what?

My servant guided me and my daughter to the front of the manor where Y/N was standing as a hologram holding a speech to the people. I can't believe it, he's actually did it.

My fellow citizens,

Twenty years ago I stood where I stand now proclaiming total victory in the great war. I made a promise that day, I promised to bring you people liberty. However, instead of receiving it, Lucifer rose from the ashes and declared herself the supreme ruler over you the people, and over the lands you now inhabit.

I stand before you today not as a conqueror, but as a servant of the people. It is a privilege to speak to you in this moment, a moment that marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of your nation.

For too long, have you suffered under a government that failed to honor the will of the people. You have faced corruption, inefficiency, and a disregard for the aspirations of the very citizens it was meant to serve. Your institutions were broken, your futures uncertain. And in the face of this I, The Unyielding Avenger, took action, not as a step towards power, but as a necessary intervention to restore the rule of law, order, and justice.

Some of you have called this a coup. Others called it a revolution. But what I have done, what I am doing now, is something more profound. I am correcting a system that lost its way and rebuilding it in a way that serves all people, not just the powerful few.

Let me be clear, I did not take this step lightly. It was not a decision made out of ambition or desire for control. It was born out of a nation in distress. It was the responsibility I felt, as a protector of the people, to act when the foundations of your democracy were crumbling.

But now, after months of planning and deliberation, I stand as a threshold of a new era. An era where power returns to the people, where the voice of the citizen is once again heard and respected. A new government is taking shape, one that will be based not on fear, but on freedom. Not on oppression, but on opportunity.

In the coming days, we will organize free and fair elections. These elections will be the first of many steps towards a vibrant, thriving democratic system. You, the people, will choose your leaders not with the threat of force, but through the power of your vote. And those leaders will be accountable to you, the citizens who give them their authority.

Let us now set aside our differences, acknowledge the wounds of the past, and commit ourselves to the task of nation building. Let us work tirelessly, with hope in our hearts, that we might leave a legacy of prosperity, and liberty for the generations to come.

I expect all noble households to pledge their support for the constitution, otherwise I will not be afraid to use military intervention. In three days time a gathering will take place. I will personally attend it and expect an answer from all of the noble households. Failure to present oneself will result in possible military conflict.
