Chapter 355 Establishing a Republic (1)

355 Establishing a Republic (1)

After Zeshion finished his business, he didn't linger within the castle and immediately left. After all, he seemed a little busy being a god-tamer and all that.

"Now then, time to work on what I promised."

Zeshion said that, at the earliest, the Cleaver Kingdom would respond in a week. During that time, I should work to strengthen the current government of this kingdom.

"First, let's call everyone for a meeting!"

---

Inside a large hall, a long, rectangular table was set. At the head seat, I sat down comfortably. To my right were the girls, arranged by the time they got contracted, while to my left were the representatives of each sector.

I wanted to invite all the town mayors, actually, but given the limited space, I needed to make do. Right now, there are a total of eight representatives, representing major directions from the center, namely north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, and northwest.

Everyone's faces were serious, and their gazes were sharp and judging. Still, I didn't mind at all and continued to speak. N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.

"So, everyone here already knows what I want to implement, right? A government that is voted for by the people. A system where everyone's voices can be heard equally. Democracy!"

The room retained its silence, but the expressions on either side of the table were contrastingly different. To my right, the girls were smiling, nodding their heads along in approval, while the other side was showing reluctant expressions; some were even frowning openly, showing their discontent.

"King Will, so you really plan to implement that?"

The representative of the south, a familiar face, asked with a thin smile.

"Of course, Max. I'm not one to spout nonsense, much less break promises. I said I'd change the current system, so that's what I'll do."

"Hahaha! I like that and would even support you. However, you know that this will earn you quite a backlash from the nobles, right?"

As if representing the nobles in the room who were too scared to open their mouths, Maximillian, the head of the Virgil family, decided to speak for them. Well, I knew that would happen even before I became king, so I simply shrugged my shoulders.

Finally, everyone was willing to listen. Well, it's not that they're completely convinced, but it seems that they're willing to compromise now. As expected of Zeshion and the others, they chose great figures as the representatives.

"Then, our first topic would be the name of the renewed kingdom. No, let's call it a country from now on. As the king, I suggest the name Heaven Republic. Since we are the only country with god tamers, I think this name should fit. Any objections?"

*Murmur*

Everyone was talking in hushed voices to each other, considering the name seriously. After a while, not a single hand was raised in objection. Either they decided it was too bothersome to think of an alternative, or they were simply afraid of going against my idea. Either way, it worked out well in the end.

"Alright, then from now on, we'll be known as the Heaven Republic."

*Clap!* *Clap!* *Clap!*

Everyone celebrated with smiles on their faces. After all, it had been hundreds of years since this kingdom became nameless. Up until now, I still have no idea why they didn't decide on a new name, but whatever.

Finally, with the name of our country decided, the next thing to do would be to fix up the current government's officials.

"Right now, I'm no longer the king, but the president of this country. Next, let's decide on who would fill the other posts under the president, starting with the Vice President."

I thought we would proceed smoothly from there, but everyone was clueless about the duties of most positions I raised. I needed to explain everything roughly, ask for their opinions on who was fitting for it, and decide with a majority vote when there were multiple candidates.

The meeting went on for hours, but thankfully, we managed to fill up all the posts without much trouble. Things were going relatively well, but the true problem was just about to rear its ugly head.

"The next topic is the prominent problem that our country is facing right now: we are lacking funds!"

Why is cleaning the house before the new year a thing?

Sorry for the late update, I was busy and was too tired after cleaning. I should be updating two chapters today, but I'll give the second one tomorrow instead.

Anyway, thanks for the continuous support! Cheers!
