After all the visitors have risen to behold their king, Yunan signalled to Reina and she bowed slightly then raised her voice for those present to hear "the court of King Yunan the wise Prowler is hereby in session, please take your turns to introduce yourselves and the queries you have".There was a moment of silence before someone introduced himself as the appointed minister of finance "since your majesty have chosen to make an appearance after a whole year, will your majesty be taking an active role in the ruling of this kingdom?". Although the question was a trap in itself, Yunan only smiled at the man before responding in a calm voice.
"No, we just wanted to show my face and show off my beautiful wives, as for the internal affairs of this kingdom we already like it the way it is, no need to change anything, as for the external affairs, we will only interfere if a diplomatic situation escalates beyond the control of the current government system, so you do need to fret over your position".
Another moved forward and introduced himself as the minister of justice and legalism " your majesty has not announced any changes in this kingdom which is unheard of especially in the legal facet of ruling, even though your majesty have not changed any such laws, you have used magic and introduced big changes to the capital, something that has the citizens feeling anxiety, might your majesty share with us your royal thoughts?".
"Rest a.s.sured, there is nothing to fear, we think this kingdom is perfect as it is, as for the big change and usage of magic that is nothing but a technicality, we have used a storage item the belongs to us to move the old palace and set this one in its place, as for the technicality of using magic and magic items we have paid the fine issued by your ministry immediately, so there should be no problem, as for the future, we will be careful not to break the law that governs this land, it is unbefitting for a king to break his own laws".
There were a few more questions and answers from the officials about many things that ended with the same conclusion, this kingdom will just run the same, except now it had a public king that will protect it from foreign affairs if things got too heated, they no longer have to fear the guild pulling away their protection and abandoning this place that is barely profitable for the guild.
After the officials came the retired ones who brought their children as the second group, they had been so immersed in the beautiful halls they did not notice the officials leaving and were still oblivious until the herald announces that the king will see his subjects. And so they made their way to the throne room again to only be blinded by the splendid lights covering the room and accentuating the presence of the king and his wives.
Some knelt some did not, and neither did Yunan say anything about it, not all men who see a king would kneel to him or show reverence, therefore Yunan did not ask the herald to voice the customary "kneel before your king" line, and for the next hour or so Yunan chatted with the youngsters and their elders like he was their neighbour, while the wives were mostly targeted by the girls who also wanted t princesses and queens, it made Yunan chuckle every time a little girl cheered when she was proclaimed a princess for today by Reina or Lili.
After all the visitors left, Yunan had a late lunch with the highest levels of authority in the kingdom, namely the prime minister, the guild representative, the minister of foreign affairs and the minister of security and policing. In the meeting, Yunan discussed the most urgent matters of the kingdom, mainly pirates and merchant empires that were trying to take over the production lines and the transport lines.
Yunan directly bought aid from the guild to provide a fleet for protection of the current trading route as well as training for some of the population to create a naval army as well as a police force made mostly from explorers under thirty of age and have successfully reached the tenth floor or higher, he also told the minister of the foreign affairs to work with the holy empire of the sun islands to provide a bigger market as well as diplomatic support, as for those mercantile empire trying to take over the production line, they only needed to stop dealing with them and focus on the production under the kingdom, if money was needed Yunan was prepared to buy the production lines back himself and give them back to the kingdom.
With most of the problems solved the lunch was called to an end, Yunan gave the prime minister a ring of communication to establish contact, while Yunan would show his face once or twice a year so the population could recognize him. There was a bit of rejection from the common men for this new overlord, but after the news about him and his communication with the officials was spread that rejection dwindled to almost nothing.
Even if they were lucky to have this king being all nice and gentle, it was a bit too lucky for them that he did not care about ruling or changing this beautiful place they built generation after generation, nor did he care about taking the ruling role, excepting the case of national emergency or other such major events threatening the kingdom.
Yunan stayed for a week in the bright palace and the twilight pearl kingdom to relax and have some precious time with his harem, meanwhile Debauchery was making progress in the 81st floor of the dungeon, after a bit of stagnation the daily 100% buffs they got from Yunan proved very helpful for them in reaching the necessary attribute points to survive without that buff anymore, they were having bad luck when it came to capturing a monster they wanted to tame.
