Although he is not yet a legend, he is more than enough to suppress the internal family affairs, executing any family mbers who question, disobey, or even oppose his orders, regardless of their identity, status, or how exceptional their talents are!
He is different from his grandfather and father. As soone who is about to ascend the throne, he indeed needs to focus on developing the family, but this does not an that family mbers can question his orders or criticize his decisions.
After completing this round of ruthless cleansing and truly gaining control over the family, this second-generation king set off, accompanied by a Dragon Elf, returning to the prosperous lands of the family that he had forsaken.
"Uncle Noah, I ca back specifically to apologize to you."
The King of Atlas, bringing along a political criminal, ca alone to visit Noah, facing the Holy Dragon and expressing his apology with the deanor of a junior.
"Hahaha, what apology? Did you do anything wrong?"
Noah did not receive him in his true form but, quite unusually, transford into the form of a Dragon-man to welco the Emperor Augustus, which appeared extrely formal.
But those familiar with the Holy Dragon know that this Golden Dragon only reveals his true form when interacting with extrely close individuals, while in so public and formal occasions, he adheres to the etiquette of the tallic Dragon Race.
During the initial gatherings of the Gemology Society, to appear formal, even Noah, who beca the President, would transform into the Dragon-man form.
However, as relationships gradually transford, the vast majority of Academy mbers ca under Noah’s banner, becoming his Dragon Lords, and Noah would show his true form when eting them to indicate closeness.
"To establish my authority, I offended your dignity, causing you to lose face."
Uranos seemingly did not perceive what was different about this Noah compared to the Golden Dragon who had ntored him, lowered his head, humbly explaining.
"As a monarch, of course, you should establish your authority. As for my dignity and face, I don’t feel they are damaged at all.
But you, don’t you think you are being too generous? Elisium, just like that, you gave it to ?"
"You witnessed the establishnt of Elisium, and I believe that under your managent, the city can develop even better."
Uranos’s reply was very eloquent.
"As long as you can maintain the order of this city, the prosperity of Elisium will only increase day by day; it doesn’t require much managent or intervention."
"But no one is more suitable than you, Uncle, to maintain the order of this city."
Uranos lowered his posture so much that Noah found it sowhat unfamiliar,
"Even I don’t understand this city as well as you."
"That’s because you spent so little ti here."
"Yes, I stayed in this city for a very short period. I won’t have much ti to be here in the future either. Given that, it would be better to entrust it to you, Uncle Noah, to manage. I believe you, Uncle Noah, can continue to make this city prosper."
"That is only natural."
"Uncle, you should have felt so obstructive presences in this city as you take over its managent. Please do not hesitate, exercise the rights of the Lord to expel them, and I will be responsible for dealing with them."
"Obstructive presences? I don’t understand what you are talking about; you can certainly be more explicit."
Noah narrowed his eyes.
"So industries and traditional mbers of the Augustus family, I hope you can clear all of them out of this city."
"That’s not very good, after all, they are mbers of your Augustus family."
Even though the fairies scattered around the Kingdom had significantly reduced, those remaining were enough to keep Noah inford at the first opportunity.
For instance, the recent round of suppression and cleansing that took place in the Capital, the three generations of Augustus were far more ruthless compared to their forebears and fathers.
"Of course, I am not asking you to expel them violently, but rather you can target them with decrees, rendering them unable to find a standing place in this city in an administrative capacity. Many of the fairies under your hand are very adept at these things, just command them, and they will do very well."
Uranos spoke softly, but the goals and intentions contained within his words were as chilling as a polar storm to the Augustus family.
The vast majority of the industries owned by mbers of the Augustus family are concentrated in Elisium and its surrounding areas. Now, the King of Atlas actively requests the Holy Dragon to clear all these industries away.
This is forcing the Augustus family to relocate, concentrating the entire family’s center only on the Royal Capital Usser, leaving its mbers dependent on and united around their king after losing their industries.
"...sigh!"
Although Augustus had given a very clear suggestion, Noah, looking at the increasingly unfamiliar young man before him, couldn’t help but sigh.
"Do you feel troubled? Indeed, this does have a very bad impact on your reputation. Asking you to do this is really not suitable, I still have to arrange for soone else."
Uranos frowned slightly, but quickly made a concession.
So-called politics is the art of compromise. When the power is not enough to crush everything, one can only compromise, exchanging the interests one holds for the interests one desires.
"No, this is just a very small matter, I just feel that there are so things I didn’t teach you enough back then!"
Noah couldn’t help but sigh, finally realizing what kind of monster he had nurtured, a king who can go to any lengths to achieve his goals.
Even his uncle, an actual ntor, in his eyes, was probably soone that could be used as a tool.
As for the family that bestowed his surna, in his eyes, they were even more insignificant. Just look at his attitude, those light words, how much of the hard work of Augustus’s lifeti would those words consign to oblivion?
Abandoning half a lifeti’s accumulation to move to the Capital and start anew is easier said than done. Aren’t there local interest groups in the Capital?
How much effort will it take to reclaim their soil? How many sacrifices will it take, and many Augustuses who are already entering old age do not have such costs to expend again.
But, Uranos turned a blind eye to this, requiring the Augustus family to shift with his will as the center. Those family mbers who couldn’t keep up were not in his consideration.
"What did you not teach ?"
Uranos asked very respectfully, like a humble scholar learning, seeking the elder to inquire about his shortcomings.
"Issuing orders, implenting policies, you need to walk to different classes to see for yourself, you are a king, a monarch, but you are also a paternal lord..."
Noah stopped halfway through his words because, although the young man in front of him appeared to be listening patiently, he would not accept anyone’s words now.
"Have you finished talking?"
Uranos looked at the Dragon-man in front of him, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Have compassion and care for your subjects!"
Noah said the last sentence in a sighing tone.
"I rember."
Uranos nodded solemnly, with a serious expression, as if he had firmly morized Noah’s words, engraved them in his mind.
"Go!"
Noah waved his hand sowhat weakly,
"I will expel the Augustus who runs industries in my territory."
"Thank you, Uncle Noah!"
At this ti, a heartfelt smile appeared on Uranos’s face,
"Allow to take my leave!"
After this secret eting, Noah followed the wishes of this big nephew and issued administrative decrees to force the Augustus family to migrate to the Capital.
While amidst the many complaints and grievances from the Augustus family, a new appointnt order also ca out from the Capital,
Appointing the Dragon Fairy Elfino as the Governor of the Fla Fortress, overseeing the military of six cities, managing the administration of six cities, possessing independent taxation and judicial authority...
