The next day, Owen summoned the nobles loyal to the royal family to hold a meeting in the town hall with Clive and the apprentices he had brought.

The main purpose of this meeting was to form a new city hall and explain to the nobles how the new city hall operates. The meeting was chaired by Clive.

Before starting the meeting, Irving announced a major decision to everyone.

"Now that everyone is here, let me announce something to you. I have decided to abolish Junhui City's status as the royal capital and establish Dawn City as the new royal capital."

As soon as these words came out, the nobles present reacted fiercely and objected one after another.

"Absolutely not, Your Majesty."

Viscount Nishizawa was the first to persuade: "Junhui City is the royal capital designated by the first king. How can it be abolished just like it is abolished? And from all aspects, Junhui City is undoubtedly the most suitable place to be the royal capital."

"Yes, the north of Auroville is bordered by the Mark Desert. It is too dangerous to face threats like undead monsters every winter!"

"There is also the curse of Kazitu. Sooner or later, Dawn City will become the second Red Sand Fortress, and it will have to rely on blood transfusions from the kingdom to survive."

"Kings of all dynasties have invested their efforts in the construction of Junhui City. It is the most royal capital, which cannot be compared to Dawn City, which was just promoted to a city not long ago."

Other nobles also echoed and expressed their objections.

As expected, when Owen mentioned this decision to Clive yesterday, he had already expected that there would be opposition from the nobles.

"I have made up my mind." Owen's tone was very firm.

Dawn City has experienced reforms and has initially established an industrial system. It is still expanding and its development momentum is very strong.

Junhui City has just been captured, and there are problems left over from the past in all aspects, which are in urgent need of reform.

Although it also has its own advantages, such as a large number of people and craftsmen, Owen feels that the focus of development should still be Auroville City.

"His Majesty."

Viscount Nishizawa continued to persuade: "I know that you grew up in Dawn City and have a deep affection for it. However, Dawn City is located in a remote place and cannot radiate to the entire kingdom. Only Junhui City can be better.

He will rule over the entire kingdom."

It is not that Irving has not considered this issue.

As long as a wireless phone is set up in various city halls, new policies issued by Dawn City in the future can be communicated in a timely manner.

Moreover, according to the five-year plan, Owen is also preparing to carry out major infrastructure construction in the kingdom, coupled with various new means of transportation brought about by technological development.

In the future, the kingdom's transportation roads will inevitably extend in all directions and be very convenient. Wherever a royal capital is established, it can easily radiate throughout the kingdom.

However, even if Owen makes an explanation, let alone whether the nobles will believe it or not, even if they believe it, they will find other reasons to object.

How to convince these nobles? Owen couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

[Master, Alpha has a piece of historical information from the past of the Earth Alliance here for reference, which may help solve the current problem.] Alpha's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Oh? Tell me.] Owen is slightly interested in this.

[In 1416 AD, there was a country of the Zhu Dynasty in the Earth Alliance. The ruler at that time decided to move the capital, but was opposed by the ministers. However, the ruler still adopted the decision with a strong attitude, while retaining the status of the original capital... Like this

This system of establishing multiple capitals is called the accompanying capital system.]

This historical information gave Owen some ideas. Who stipulated that the kingdom can only have one royal capital?

After thinking about it, Owen raised his hand to ask everyone present to quiet down.

"Everyone, I just had a new idea..."

It is better to establish Dawn City as the new royal capital, but it will not abolish Junhui City's royal capital status, but will continue to play its role as a companion capital.

This new approach was unheard of, and the nobles present looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

Viscount Nishizawa thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, your establishment of two royal capitals is not conducive to the stability of the kingdom and may cause chaos."

"Will not."

Owen smiled slightly and explained: "Junhui City is to supplement the deficiencies of Dawn City and form a pattern of mutual coordination and emphasis. Junhui City will play a supporting role in echoing, supplementing, and coordinating in the future, and is in a deputy core position.

"

Then, he also promised to hold a coronation ceremony in Junhui City, which silenced the nobles, and finally no one raised any objections.

After finally dealing with this group of nobles, Owen announced again: "Then, I officially declare that Dawn City will be established as the new royal capital, and Junhui City will serve as the deputy capital and also enjoy the status of the royal capital."

After saying that, he turned to look at Clive again.

"After the meeting, remember to make an announcement to announce the decision to the public."

"Yes." Clive responded.

Of course, in addition to the announcement of the establishment of the new royal capital, he also issued a recruitment order to allow literate and capable civilians to work in the city hall, invited craftsmen to Dawn City with generous treatment, and so on.

Just when Owen was about to continue the meeting, a soldier suddenly broke into the conference room, saying there was an emergency, and then handed an opened letter into Owen's hands.

After reading the letter on the spot, Owen's expression immediately became very serious.

"Clive, I leave this meeting to you, I have to deal with a more serious matter."

"Understood." Clive stood up and stroked his chest, "Please feel free to leave it to me, Your Majesty."

Next, Owen left his seat, took the escort soldiers and hurried to the suburban dock, preparing to hold an emergency meeting with Viscount Jarvis and others on the battleship King.

On the other side, the Royal Palace Castle.

Yuqina was alone in the room, sitting at the table, playing with a teacup in her hand, super bored.

At first, she was very happy because she could leave Dawn City and meet Owen.

After arriving at Junhui City, I found that everyone was busy doing their own thing.

Owen left the palace and castle for a meeting, and Mapel had to follow him. The original mission with Yukina to interrogate the nobles had to be postponed.

My good friend Winnie is staying on the battleship, and it seems she can't come in yet.

In the huge palace and castle, there is no one whom Yuqina knows and can play with, which is really boring.

"Oh oh oh -" Yukina looked up at the ceiling, "When will Brother Owen and Sister Mapel come back?"

No! Staying in the room all day will make you suffocated. You have to learn to have some fun by yourself.

Thinking of this, Yuqina got down from the chair, quietly opened the door, made sure there was no one outside, and ran out for a walk.

If she saw patrolling soldiers or servants, she would immediately find a place to hide. With the help of the vampire's keen sense, she was never discovered and had a good time.

Unknowingly, Yukina wandered near the bedroom of the fourth princess Emily.

Oops, someone is coming from ahead!

In desperation, Yuqina quickly opened the window on the side, got in, closed the window tightly, and waited for the patrolling soldiers to pass by.

After observing the soldiers outside walking away through the gap in the window, Yukina let out a breath.

"Phew - gone, safe."

"Who are you?" A young female voice suddenly came from behind.

Yuqina was so frightened that she trembled all over. She quickly turned around and found a little girl standing at the table, staring at her curiously.

Unexpectedly, there was a girl here who looked about the same age as herself. Yuqina lowered her vigilance and replied: "My name is Yuqina. I come from Dawn City. Who are you?"

"I am the fourth princess Emily Wells."

Seeing that the other party was a civilian, Emily couldn't help but put her hands on her waist and straighten her chest.

"You have to call me Your Highness Princess."

"Princess?!" Yukina was slightly surprised, "Then... Your Highness, I'm sorry to disturb you, I'll leave now."

With that said, she turned around and walked towards the door of the room.

"etc!"

Seeing this, Emily hurriedly called out to Yuqina.

To be honest, she was very bored by herself. Now that she saw someone who might become her playmate, how could she let her go?

"You said you came from Dawn City, can you tell me what kind of place it is?"

Yuqina thought for a while, and there was nothing to do anyway, so let's talk.

"Okay." She nodded and agreed.
Chapter completed!
