In the imperial palace of the Llyne kingdom, every important official is summoned to the courtroom while the citizens are celebrating outside.
The ministers who stood with Rikilda for various reasons started to worry about their life.
"As you all probably know by now, I defeated Rikilda Llyne and claid my rightful position. I annihilated the Zuweth's forces and took control of Zuweth and Evelon, thereby, expanding the kingdom to three tis bigger than before."
"Long live the King" "Long live the King" "Long live the King"
The ministers cheered him for a while before he raised his hand as a gesture to stop it.
Whether they were on the side of Rikilda or whether they are on the side of Wil, everyone was happy about one thing. It is that monarchy still hasn't been dead in the kingdom.
"Now, I summoned all of you here to announce a few important things."
The courtroom fell silent and everyone just stared at Wil, waiting for his announcents. They also decided to agree with him to show their loyalty.
Wil continued, "Lord Raziel said to that my formal coronation will be held tomorrow. All of you must have already gotten the information about it by now."
Everyone nodded.
"The official coronation will not be held, tomorrow. So, don't make preparations for it."
Wil's decision surprised the ministers, even including Raziel.
"Your Majesty, official coronation isn't just a simple ceremony. It will be done so that every citizen of the kingdom will be assured that they had soone who will look after them." While the ministers stayed quiet about it, Raziel, on the other hand, imdiately objected to his decision.
In response, Wil said, "I'm not saying that the ceremony will not be held forever. It will be postponed for a week. And in these few days, I will also be absent to deal with far more important things. So, there will be no courtroom sessions."
Raziel stared at him for a while, searching his past. He then saw the girl that was summoned by the Zuweth's king only for her to be imprisoned by Wil.
Looking at her fiery red eyes and the horns on her head, featuring similar traits to that of Averil, Raziel imdiately understood the matter.
"Fine. The ceremony will be held, next week."
Wil continued, "General Gerrad, please step forward."
"Your Majesty." The General who was standing on the side walked forward and stood in the middle of the courtroom.
"When we lost our King Mirella, when we lost our Llyne, you were the one who believed in and followed . You proved your loyalty many tis while doing every task I gave you without asking any question in return.
I, Ti Traveler, 633rd King of the kingdom of Llyne, hereby appoint you as the Supre Commander of the army."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Gerrad bowed to him.
As soon as he appointed the Supre Commander, a seat appeared in the courtroom.
"Regarding the military, I'm also adding two ranks to the system. One is the Supre General and the other is the Commander."
Although so got an idea what they might be, as soon as they the nas, most of the ministers didn't understand what their king was trying to say.
Before anyone questions it, Wil explained, "We are currently in temporary peaceti. But, the situation won't stay long like this. Soon, we will be embroiled in a war with several powerful kingdoms from all over the world.
To protect ourselves, I intend to focus on improving our military strength during the next month. As for the defense budget, we will talk about it, after I return.
Anyway, let explain about these two positions in the army. Supre Generals are considered a higher position than Generals. Each one can command five generals and their army.
The number of positions isn't limited. As the number of our Generals increases, they too increase.
They will be appointed by Supre Commander."
Since it's a matter with the military, the ministers didn't think too much about it. However, General Gerrad was taken aback in surprise.
He realized that being a Supre Commander is now a far higher position than before.
Once again, he kneeled on his one knee and bowed to thank Wil.
Wil continued, "As for the Commander, they will command, all the soldiers under one province. Only Supre Commander stands above them. As for their appointnt, I and Lord Raziel will take care of it. For now, three positions are available.
After one month, all of these positions will be fulfilled. So, Supre Commander Gerrad, make sure to pass it to the soldiers. Just because we have won the war doesn't an they should slack off.
And one more thing. The kingdom will be put under the control of the military until I return. As the Supre Commander, I hope you would manage your duties very well"
"I won't disappoint you, Your Majesty." Continuing to kneel, Gerrad spoke in a firm tone.
At the sa ti, he felt warm in his heart. Until a while ago, even though he was a general, his status is usually lower among the peers because of his background as a commoner.
But now, he's beco the third strongest person in the kingdom in authority. His loyalty towards Wil rose further.
Sending him back to his seat, Wil then looked at everyone, "now the matters with the military are over, we should talk about sothing else The capital city."
"Capital city?" They wondered whether the king intends to expand the capital city.
With the expansion of the kingdom, the capital city should also beco bigger. However, Wil made an unexpected decision to take them by surprise.
"I intend to create two more capital cities for the kingdom. Llyne city will stay as the headquarters as well as the Legislative capital city where all the decisions are made.
As for the executive and judicial capital cities, I will tell you about it, later."
It wasn't that Wil wants to keep this in suspense. It's just that he doesn't want to make haste decisions on important things like these.
Wil felt that he needed to consult Silver about it. After all, Silver knows how to run an organization.
And just like he expected, a look of surprise appeared on everyone's faces. Even in the historical records, there's been never ntioned of two capital cities for a kingdom.
They didn't know what's going on in Wil's mind. They didn't know that Wil took this decision because he doesn't want to bear all the weight alone.
He wanted absolute power but at the sa ti, doesn't want the responsibility that cos with it.
He knew that, as a king, he ought to be present at the assembly, every single day.
Wil doesn't want to sit on the throne for several hours to deal with the problems of the kingdom as if he was going for a 9-5 office job
In this way, he can just make whatever decision he has in mind, and let the executive and judicial branches take care of the rest.
As the ministers stayed silent, he further continued, "Oh and also, for now, everyone can keep their positions. However, in the anti, I order Supre Commander Gerrad to form an investigation departnt to investigate the accounts of the nobles."
Everyone's face beca pale as Wil's voice beca louder, "all of you must cooperate in the investigation. As long as you admit your cris, the punishnt will be waived. However, it will also determine your posts.
That's all I have to say today"
