When Owen and his party arrived at the palace castle, the soldiers stationed here knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly with respect.

"Long live the new king!"

On the road leading to the meeting hall, soldiers knelt neatly on both sides, welcoming the arrival of the new king with what they considered the highest courtesy.

Owen accepted the kindness of these soldiers calmly, and under their gaze, he led a group of guards and walked past them.

At the end of the road was a hundred-step staircase. Owen stepped up the stairs and reached the palace gate step by step, and then entered the meeting hall.

As soon as he entered the meeting hall, the soldiers behind Owen quickly ran to both sides and set up defenses around the hall.

A group of anxious nobles gathered in the center of the hall. Seeing Owen coming, they quickly made way for a passage leading to the throne.

When passing through this passage, Owen didn't even look at the nobles next to him. He walked straight to the throne, turned around and sat down.

Father and daughter, Marpelle and Viscount Jarvis, put on serious faces and stood on both sides of the steps in front of the throne.

Angelica did not follow him in, but waited outside the palace gate, because many nobles here knew her.

After all, she is so beautiful. Every time she came with the Templar Knights to support the Kingdom of Dawn, during her stay in Junhui City, some nobles would take notice and come to chat with Angelica.

At that time, Angelica had no interest in men at all, so she naturally ignored them completely.

Seeing Owen sitting on the throne, the nobles below immediately knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Your Majesty is welcome."

Most of the people who knelt down were nobles from the Three Princes faction, and White was promoted to the queen after she ascended the throne.

Now that White has been defeated, they abandon their past positions without hesitation and choose to join the new king, hoping to serve Irving and continue to pursue their own interests.

Of course, not all nobles chose to kneel down willingly. There were several nobles who were still standing behind them, and they kept staring at Owen on the throne.

"We don't recognize you as the new king!" the old nobleman in the front row was the first to say.

"That's right!" A relatively young noble next to him also stood up and said, "That's just a rumor. It's unknown whether you have royal blood in you. We will never admit an outsider to become the new king of the Kingdom of Morning Light.

"

"Yes! We are not afraid of death!" Others also echoed.

It turns out that this group of people are nobles who firmly support the royal family of Wales and are absolutely loyal to the royal family.

The nobles kneeling on the ground quietly raised their heads and glanced at them, secretly showing contempt. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Who cares about the royal bloodline at this time? There is only one truth in this world, and that is, the winner is king.

How dare you disrespect the new king. The gun-wielding soldiers in the hall walked over and prepared to take down the nobles who were unwilling to kneel down, but Owen raised his hand to stop them.

"Wait a minute, don't take action yet."

Seeing the soldiers return to their original positions, Owen turned to look at the nobles who were not afraid of life and death.

To be honest, compared with the nobles who chose to surrender, Owen quite admired them, because they had a rare quality, that is, loyalty.

"If you don't recognize me as the new king, that means you are still loyal to White Wells, right?" Owen asked.

"That's right!" the old nobleman responded.

"But he is already dead, do you plan to continue to be loyal to a dead man?"

After speaking, Owen winked at Viscount Jarvis, who immediately understood, took off the thing wrapped in cloth hanging from his waist, and threw it forward.

A human head rolled on the ground several times before it stopped. When everyone took a closer look, it turned out to be White's head!

"Eh-" Some nobles were frightened by the bloody head and screamed strangely.

More people couldn't help but gasp, their fear of Owen rising to a new level, and they quickly lowered their heads.

"how come……"

The old nobleman's face was full of shock. He thought White had successfully escaped from the royal capital, but he didn't expect that he would die tragically at the hands of others.

When I thought about the death of the two sons of the old king of Wells, my heart instantly filled with grief. The old nobleman lost his balance and almost fell down. Fortunately, he was supported by the young nobleman next to him in time.

The reason why Owen did this was to completely cut off these people's thoughts about the old king.

"If I can prove that I have royal blood in my body, will you be loyal to me?" Owen asked again.

"Then prove it to us." The young noble who was helping someone answered, "If you really have royal blood in your body, we are willing to surrender."

"very good."

Upon hearing the answer he wanted, the corners of Owen's mouth raised slightly.

In fact, Owen could directly give orders to the soldiers to deal with the troublesome nobles.

As long as there is no opposition, and with the powerful Dawn City army, he has the qualifications and strength to become king.

Why do you have to make them loyal to you?

The reason is very simple, that is, Owen does not want to stay in Junhui City for too long, and plans to eradicate all the nobles who have colluded with White at once, and then send officials from the Dawn City City Hall to take over this large city.

After all, Owen did not grow up here and has no feelings for Junhui City. The focus of future development is still Dawn City, which is the new royal capital in his mind.

But we cannot ignore Junhui City. Considering that the city hall officials are also unfamiliar with the city, they need to cooperate with the local nobles. The prerequisite is that the background must be clean.

If those nobles who were loyal to the royal family were willing to be loyal to Owen, they would be a good partner, and their loyalty can be trusted.

As for those who are kneeling on the ground, they need to be screened before they can be appointed.

To be honest, Irving doesn't have much hope for those nobles. Most of them can serve here because they have gained White's trust.

Next, how to prove it?

A person with strong royal blood is needed to work with Owen to inject magic power into the magic induction bead.

If the magic induction bead shows a liquid of one color, it means that there is a close blood relationship between the two people.

Both Legovis and White are dead, and now the only people who are related to the late old king by blood are the second princess Trieste and the fourth princess Emily.

The second princess is currently in the south, so she can only ask the fourth princess Emily for help.

Yesterday, when the People's Army searched the palace and castle, they accidentally discovered the fourth princess who was under house arrest. Her health was not serious.

So, Owen ordered a soldier: "Go and invite the fourth princess to come over."

"Yes!" The soldier took the order and retreated.

Then, Owen asked another soldier to bring a small table and place it in front of the steps of the throne, and then took away the heads on the ground so as not to scare the fourth princess.

Viscount Jarvis stepped forward and placed the magic induction beads prepared in advance on the table.

Not long after, Emily followed the soldiers to the meeting hall. Seeing so many people here, she felt a little timid.

Before that, Emily had been locked in a room for more than a year, and even her playful temperament was gone.

She was a little uncomfortable being asked to leave the room suddenly.

After hesitating at the door for a while, Emily plucked up the courage to take a step and walked to the steps of the throne.

This little girl looks about the same age as Lilika. Can she use magic? Owen couldn't help but wonder.

Then, Owen stood up, walked down the stairs, and knelt down in front of Emily.

Seeing the other party looking at him with confusion, Owen smiled slightly and introduced: "Emily, you and I have never met before. It's normal for you not to know me. I'm your half-brother."

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt an indescribable feeling of intimacy towards this sister whom he met for the first time.

"elder brother?"

Emily glanced at Owen suspiciously, then turned to look at the other people around her, as if she understood something.

"What did you do to Brother Three Princes?"

"He is dead, and I am now the new king of this kingdom." Owen replied truthfully, "Will you hate me?"

Emily shook her head.

"No, you avenged my great brother, and I want to thank you."

Irving was not surprised by this answer. After all, White had cruelly put his sister under house arrest, which showed that the relationship between the two brothers was very bad.

"In that case, my sister, can I ask you a favor?"

"What's the deal?"

"Come with me and inject magic into the magic induction beads." Owen pointed to the small table beside him, "By the way, can you control magic?"

"Yes, the magic teacher taught me."

"That's good."

The two of them came to the small table and put their hands, one large and one small, on the magic induction beads at the same time.

Considering that Emily is still young and may not be very skilled in controlling magic, Owen cooperates with her in injecting magic.

With a bang, the magic induction bead emits a soft white light.

Starting from the bottom, a blue liquid flowing like water appeared inside the induction bead. The liquid increased rapidly and soon filled the entire induction bead. As expected, the magic power of the two people overflowed.

The moment a liquid of a certain color appears, it has been proven to those present.

Upon seeing this, the old nobleman who did not want to admit that Owen was the new king hurriedly pulled the young nobleman who was supporting him to kneel down, and the others behind him also knelt down.

"That's it."

Stopping the injection of magic power, Owen and Emily took their hands off the magic induction beads in turn.

"How's it going?" Owen turned around and looked over, "Do you still have any objections to this result?"

"No."
