Novel Full 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!
Stay connected via empire
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.
Counted populations, food supplies, factories, and the number of Extraordinary Exponents… Counted all the lands owned by the noble families.
“Only with sufficiently accurate information can we be well-prepared for what comes next.”
Christine, like Byrne, was fascinated by straightforward, real data. She deeply felt that only by gathering enough data could they properly govern the newly reborn Cyart Kingdom.
——
Carnia.
The reigning King of Carnia, once renowned in Carnia for his wisdom and benevolence, now trembled uncontrollably, as if devoured by endless darkness and rage.
He appeared to be about fifty years old, his features very angular, clad in a wide, luxurious purple robe, with eyes no longer gentle but instead filled with flames of anger, strong enough to ignite a city in a moment!
Having learned about the brutal murder of his dearly loved younger brother, who had shared countless laughs and secrets with him, it struck him like a bolt from the blue, completely breaking his inner defenses.
“Fischer family! Romann family! Cyart people! I want you to pay a bloody price! You are provoking Carnia, and the blood of ten thousand of you is not as precious as a single drop from Conrad! You dared to actually kill him!”
He clenched his fists, nails digging deep into his palms, blood dripped slowly through his fingers, yet he felt no pain.
Anger and sorrow mingled, forming an uncontrollable force that surged within the chest of the King of Carnia.
“Aaaah! Conrad! I swear to make the murderers pay a thousand times the suffering you endured! I will make every member of the Fischer and Romann families accompany you in death!”
His deep, hoarse roars echoed in every corner of the palace.
And his grandfather, who was once revered as a god by the people, a high-level Monarch who retired behind the scenes, the First Monarch of Carnia, had not appeared.
“Cyart…”
“You pack of beasts, you shameless living filth, mere scum that need to be exterminated…”
He was no longer the fair and impartial Arbiter in the eyes of his people, but merely a brother who had lost his reason, seeking only revenge!
However, beneath the furious exterior lay deeper agony and struggle within the King of Carnia.
He missed every day spent with his brother, those simple yet warm memories now turned into the sharpest blades in his heart, each recall a heart-wrenching pain.
The King of Carnia truly wished he could turn back time to prevent this tragedy, but reality cruelly told him that all was irreversible!
——
In the modest palace of Rhea.
In a plain study, “Blood Flames King” Flamme, with hair radiant like the afterglow of sunset, was now completely cloaked in deep concern.
His face looked grave, his brow furrowed with persistent clouds of worry, those eyes usually sparkling with wisdom and decisiveness, now filled with uncertainty and concern for the future.
The unification of the neighboring Cyart, like an unexpected surge, impacted the realm he ruled over—Rhea.
This was not merely a geographical change but a great challenge to the long-standing balance and stability. “Blood Flames King” Flamme was well aware that the people of the Cyart harbored butcher-like ferocity; they were savage and merciless, and the rise of the Cyart people was inevitably going to affect his kingdom.
“Unfortunately, the disaster of the deceased delayed our steps, unable to intervene during the Cyart civil war, to completely destroy this sinister, savage country… And the land we lost has not yet been reclaimed… but we must reclaim it.”
He paced back and forth in his modest and practical palace, unable to sleep, heart filled with constantly mulling over strategies.
“But do I really want to start a war?”
“Once a war is initiated, what about the people who have just recovered from the disaster of the deceased? Many more will die…”
Flamme took a deep breath, then summoned advisors and generals, holding one emergency meeting after another, attempting to find a way to break the deadlock.
However, each discussion ended in a stalemate, with no one able to provide a satisfying answer.
“Blood Flames King” Flamme’s worries stemmed not only from the fear of external threats, but also from his deep understanding that should his kingdom fall into turmoil, the innocent Rheas would suffer the most.
Therefore, he was even more determined to lead Rhea through this crisis and to protect every inch of land and every citizen.
Finally, “Blood Flames King” Flamme made up his mind, his eyes sparking with firm determination.
“Since those Cyart people are insatiable butchers, hungry wolves, the darkest evil, forever harboring nauseating ambitions… We Rheas must strike them first, completely destroy the barbarous Cyart, and only then can real peace be achieved!”
