The phenomenon displayed by the magic induction bead confirmed that Owen did have royal blood, and he was successfully recognized by the nobles loyal to the royal family.

After ordering the soldiers to take Emily down, Owen returned to the throne, turned around and sat down.

"You all get up."

After getting permission, the nobles below stood up one after another. Because they had knelt for a long time, many of them had their legs numb, and they even rubbed them when they got up.

"Since there is no objection to my bloodline, from now on, I, Owen Eisen Wells, will be the new king of the Kingdom of Morning Light."

As the adopted son of the Eisen family, Owen had feelings for the surname Eisen, so he decided to keep it.

Adding Wells' name directly after it will also make it easier to have legitimate reasons to declare that he is the new king of this country.

"Of course, Your Majesty."

A noble took the initiative to step forward and said respectfully: "As a member of the royal family, you are the legitimate king of the Kingdom of Dawn. All lords everywhere must recognize this."

"Who are you?"

"I am Count Luther, the Prime Minister, Your Majesty."

After speaking, Earl Luther stroked his chest and bent down, showing respect.

But Owen knew very well in his heart that this guy was just trying to be attentive and wanted to continue to get a position in Junhui City.

"Well, I understand."

Owen responded casually, and then added: "Although White Wells is dead, the crimes he committed, including patricide to seize the throne, plotting to murder Prince Legovis, corvee taxation, etc., will be announced in due course."

He informed the people in a formal way and at the same time hung his head at the city gate for public display. Is there anything else you want to say?"

"Oh! Your Majesty, the crimes committed by this tyrant are outrageous to both humans and gods, and are unforgivable! I and many ministers have tried to stop it many times, but unfortunately we failed."

It must be said that the tone of voice, movements and expressions of this former Prime Minister are so spot-on that people who don't know the truth might think that he is a good person.

"Fortunately, the gods heard my prayers and sent you, the wise king whom everyone expected, to lead an invincible army. In less than a day, you pulled the tyrant off the throne and saved the people from the fire. It is really a blessing for the kingdom.

ah!"

As he spoke, he pretended to wipe his tears with his sleeves, as if he was really happy for the common people.

"Your Majesty, we wholeheartedly support you and are willing to continue to work hard for you."

"I am willing to do my best!" Other nobles also agreed.

"snort!"

In response to this, the old nobleman who was loyal to the royal family snorted coldly and exposed it to his face: "Count Luther, you are quite good at acting."

"Oh, Viscount Caesar, you can't say that."

Earl Luther did not want the good image he had established in front of Owen to be ruined, so he hurriedly said: "You yourself are not reused, you are excluded to the edge of power, and you don't even have a chance to enter the palace and castle. Naturally, you can't see those of us who are ministers.

With good intentions, some misunderstandings are inevitable, I understand."

"you!"

Viscount Caesar suddenly became angry and looked up at Irving.

"Your Majesty, Count Luther..."

Before he finished speaking, Owen raised his hand to stop him.

"Okay, I already know, no need to say anything."

Seeing this, Earl Luther secretly rejoiced. Most likely, His Majesty chose to believe in him, otherwise he would not have interrupted, and there would be no need to come up with the prepared words.

It was probably Viscount Caesar's stubborn behavior of not acknowledging the new king that made him unpopular with His Majesty, he guessed.

Next, Owen turned to look at Viscount Jarvis and ordered: "Viscount Jarvis, how many people were qualified just now? Please pick them all out."

"yes."

Viscount Jarvis walked over, pointed out a few nobles from the crowd, and asked them to move to the group of nobles loyal to the royal family.

After doing this, Viscount Jarvis returned to the steps of the throne and reported: "Your Majesty, the people I picked out are the ones who just failed to respond to Earl Luther."

Looking at the group of nobles, Owen counted them carefully, no more, no less, exactly ten of them.

There are only such a small number of people, but it is not surprising. White will definitely screen the nobles he appoints, and those who are disobedient have long been eliminated. Only a few unimportant official positions have not been replaced.

"Here comes someone."

Owen ordered: "Put all these people in the dungeon for trial later."

After receiving the order, the soldiers on the side quickly surrounded Earl Luther and his group, preparing to take them all away.

"Slow, slow!"

Seeing that the development of things was different from what he expected, Earl Luther immediately panicked.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"That's what it means literally." Owen replied coldly.

"No no no."

Earl Luther's eyes widened in surprise, his face full of disbelief. He wanted to step forward to argue, but was restrained and held back by the soldiers.

"Your Majesty, you can't do this! If you want to manage Junhui City well, you need to rely on our strength!"

"That's right! Your Majesty." Other nobles surrounded by soldiers agreed.

"I don't need you." Owen shook his head, "I plan to form a new city hall to manage Junhui City, and at the same time promote reforms and establish a new system."

To be honest, seeing Earl Luther trying his best to belittle White and distance himself from his relationship, and a group of people following suit, Owen's evaluation of those nobles was extremely poor.

Everyone is thinking about their own interests. They are simply attached to the royal family and a big cancer that sucks the nutrients of the kingdom.

If they are left behind, they will probably not be able to do practical things for the people, and will become a hindrance to the implementation of the new system. So it is better to take this opportunity to eradicate them all.

What's more important is that Earl Luther, who can serve as the imperial prime minister, must be in collusion with White, and the nobles who responded are probably in close agreement.

Eradicating them all at once will save you a lot of worry in the future.

"Take them all down." Owen reiterated the order.

The soldiers decisively used tough tactics to control all the nobles and take them away. Those who refused to obey would be forcibly dragged away without any shame.

"No! Your Majesty! Your Majesty—"

As the last noisy noble was violently dragged out of the meeting hall by soldiers, the scene became quiet.

As for the trial, after Yukina is brought here, Mapel will interrogate them one by one and give them corresponding punishments according to the crimes they have committed.

Looking at the remaining ten people, Owen smiled slightly and congratulated: "Congratulations on passing the preliminary screening and qualifying to become a member of the new city hall."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty." Everyone responded in unison.

"Don't be so hasty to thank me yet."
