Chapter 428: Chapter 405: Unified Cyart
Cyart welcomed its unification.
Nasir City.
The news of the kingdom’s unification spread quickly through every corner of Nasir City like a spring breeze, and the entire city seemed to be enveloped in an unprecedented joy and hope.
The streets swelled with people, laughter and cheerful voices rose and fell, and everyone immersed themselves in this hard-earned peace.
Colorful flags fluttered gently in the breeze, embroidered with symbols of the kingdom’s unification, hung high on the city walls, in front of shops, and on the balconies of every home, heralding the arrival of a new era.
In the center of the square, people held hands and danced joyfully, their singing and laughter intermingling as the band played cheerful melodies alongside.
“Praise Fischer!”
“Praise Cyart!”
“Praise our Queen Peggy!”
In the taverns, people raised their glasses, and a middle-aged man loudly said,
“Cheers, this glass is to the respected His Excellency Bain, and then this glass is for our Queen Peggy!”
“Cheers! To the respected His Excellency Bain and our Queen Peggy!”
“Cheers!”
Vendors also set up stalls, selling all kinds of delicacies and souvenirs, with tempting aromas filling the air—freshly baked bread, steaming roast meat, and sweet juices and wines.
The people of Nasir City savored the food, exchanging joys with each other, as if at that moment all troubles had vanished.
There were also many souvenirs about the Fischer Family, and the most popular was a silver pin featuring a young portrait of Bain on the front and a raven on the back; it was sold by the family of the old butler Theo. Because it was a limited edition with only five hundred pieces made, and came with a signed card of a Fischer family member, it quickly fetched up to several Gold Coins.
Actually, the person who agreed to give out autographs was Chris’s wife, the easygoing Vanessa.
As night fell, the jubilation in Nasir City did not cease. Gorgeous fireworks erupted in the night sky, illuminating the horizon with colorful lights, and lighting up the hope in people’s hearts!
“God, please bless us…”
People looked up, their eyes shimmering with tears of excitement and emotion.
They knew that peace was bought with countless sacrifices and was always hard-earned.
The news of Cyart’s complete unification undeniably marked the beginning of a new era; the Lorne Empire and the Valer Kingdom, which was under Lorne’s influence, quickly sent congratulatory messages.
After discussions between the Fischer family and the Romann family, they decided to no longer use the traditional southern Imperial City of Cyart as the national core but instead announced…
From now on, Nasir City will serve as the new Imperial City of Cyart!
A fishing village a century ago, a fishing town decades prior— from now on, it will become the power center of Cyart!
The Fischer family had many reasons for this choice, such as the numerous railroads in East Coast Province, the rapid development of Nasir City, their greater familiarity with the city, its proximity to the White Sea, and its strategic location for defending against invasions from northern nations!
It was undoubtedly a significant change that stirred up much attention, and several major families of Cyart voiced their opposition.
However, the opinions of Darren, Christine, and Aldrich were most critical; as their stance solidified, the major families soon stopped their objections.
Deep down, they only prayed for one thing—that their family’s lands would not be greatly affected, as these also represented various resources, including the production of Extraordinary materials.
For families of Extraordinary Exponents, this was undoubtedly the most critical interest. As for the rest, it entirely depended on the mood of the victorious families.
It could even be said, if the Fischer and Romann families decided to massacre ordinary people, it wouldn’t matter.
However, they still needed to wait because Queen Peggy, a puppet, aside from issuing orders to maintain public order and stabilize the situation, temporarily hadn’t enacted any new policies.
Maintaining public order and restoring civil life were necessary actions. In fact, after eleven years of civil war and the disaster of the dead, Cyart had long suffered from deterioration in public security and livability, and its national power had markedly regressed to the edge of total collapse.
Following the unification of Cyart, upon the advice of Christine, Darren, and Aldrich, Queen Peggy immediately issued measures to restore public order and provide relief to the people. On one hand, it was to restore Cyart’s national strength, and on the other hand, it was because, as the new ruler, Queen Peggy needed to establish a good image.
Indeed, enacting new policies wasn’t something needed right away.
Christine from the Fischer family and Aldrich from the Romann family saw eye to eye on their first actions being to conduct assessments.
