Dragon Monarch System

Everyone clapped hands with smiles on their faces. Everyone in the throne hall was more than satisfied with their new ruler. As for the loyal men of Sebastian, Amber had eliminated them without leaving a trace.

After Amber stepped down, an old man stepped forward with a golden scroll in his hands. [The Zulux Dynasty will be a part of the Istarin Kingdom. All of the Zulux Dynasty land, towns, villages, and seven main cities which are Asharc city, Luneburg City, Renestrae City, Rosdorf city, Rodograd city, Nurburg City, Alenia City will be under King Aditya’s rule.]

“I want the 6 former governors of Luneburg City, Renestrae City, Rosdorf city, Rodograd city, Nurburg City, and Alenia City to step forward and officially introduce themselves.” With the word of the king, Carlos Lieven was the first one to step forward.

The former governor kneeled in front of his new ruler with his right hand placed on top of his right knee. He lowered his head and once again introduced himself.

“It’s an honor to meet the ruler of the Istarin Kingdom. The servant’s name is Carlos Lieven. I used to be the governor of Renestrae city.”

Aditya carefully observed the man named Carlos. Carlos was a young handsome man in his 30s. He had honey blond hair that reached down his waist. He was slim and 5 feet 8 inches tall. Being a Mid 2nd-order cultivator, Carlos was considered one of the genius and rising stars of the Zulux Dynasty.

Following Carlos, one by one other 5 governors stepped forward and began introducing themselves.

“Your Majesty, I am Rayne Janson, the former governor of Rosdorf city. It’s an honor to finally meet you.” Rayne Janson was an old man in his late years. He had a gray beard and a bald head.

“I am John Gladstone. I was the governor of Rodograd city. I have long wanted to meet your Majesty. I am deeply fascinated by your Majesty’s way of thinking.” John Gladstone, the only demon among the Zulux Dynasty nobility. John is a vampire with red Crimson eyes and white hair. John was undoubtfully the most handsome man in the throne hall.

“I am Barbet de Vienne. I was the governor of Nurburg City, located in the south.” Barbet was a fat middle-aged man. Among the 6 governors, he was the fattest and weakest governor.

“And I am Juan Arrazola. Former governor of Alenia City.”

“I am Ivan Menshikov. I used to take care of Luneburg city. Though I mostly received orders from King Sebastian. I never was the official governor of the capital.”

Yesterday when the 6 governors received the letters from the King asking them to surrender and submit, the idea of resisting and allying with other forces did come to their minds. Juan and Barbet, both governors even thought of revolting but they quickly discarded their idea after learning the horrifying fate of Duke Easton and his troops. Everyone knew in their hearts that going against Aditya would be the same as inviting death.

Also, the governors and their families finally managed to gain their freedom with the death of Sebastian. The contract that their ancestors were forced to sign which restricted their freedom was finally broken by Aditya. Everyone was very grateful to their new King.

“It’s nice to meet you all. I know you have worked for the previous King. Under my rule, you all no longer have the rank of a noble. I can appoint new governors but I prefer that you all continue working under me. I won’t force you to work under me. If you want to quit, then I won’t stop you.” Aditya was letting them know that he can always appoint new governors and run the Kingdom even without their help.

Hearing the words of the King, all 6 governors showed a look of hesitation. Before coming here, they knew in their hearts that there was a huge chance that the new king will replace them with new governors. The first thing that a king would do after taking over a Kingdom will be slaughtering all the nobles who once worked for the former King.

“Your Majesty, please allow us to continue working as the city governors. We, our parents, and our ancestors were forced to work for the generational rulers of the Zulux Dynasty. We never liked the king but due to the contract, we did not have any option of quitting either.” It was Carlos who gathered his courage to speak.

“If you want to work under me then you will have to allow me to put their mark on your foreheads.” Everyone stared at the Star shaped drawing on the piece of paper.

“If I may, can I know what this is?”
