After the conversation with his mother-inw earlier, Minos continued in Dry City, taking care of the affairs of his future empire alongside his wives.


    Meanwhile, he handled the visits to his estate, taking care of his affairs with Isabe but also entertaining Ivy on the days when this friend of Maisie had decided to stay in Dry City.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    On the other hand, after a few days of living with her granddaughter, Margot left for the ming Empire. She promised she would return and make Gloria''s fathere with her after some time.


    Lulu took care of some business locally during this time. But she had also returned to her state before long, as things seemed to be going very well for the ck in, with few worries for Albano.


    In the end, after more than a month since that day when Sarah had had to deal with so many women hugging her, Maisie and Angelica returned to the Grey Clouds Sect.


    In that period, Patience had appeared in Dry City, but not for long since she was one of the pirs of the Gray Clouds Sect. In any case, she had taken her daughters with her as Oswald had concerns about the war, and these women could not stay on ''vacation'' on the ck in forever.


    So everyone had left, and thest remaining Spiritual Saints on the ck in were Gloria and Gavin, the normal for this developing ce.


    In this way, the local growth routine returned to normal for a period of time that passed so quickly that when everyone least realized it, a year had passed.


    As time passed, the ck in Empire had finally been born!


    ...


    After months since the beginning of conversations and actions towards the formation of the ck in Empire, this great state had been ''born'' in the northern region of the Central Continent!


    Just one week ago, the Matriarch of the Spiritual Church for the northern region and the Matriarch for Vogel jointly hosted the coronation of Minos Stuart as emperor of the ck in!


    With this event, all the organizations from every part of his territory sent representatives to his coronation in Dry City, where his allies also showed up to witness this momentous asion.


    At the time, people from the ming Empire, Albano, Rosser, ckrock, and the kingdoms of the northern region, from all these ces, showed up to congratte Minos on his progress.


    Minos had changed the northern region and created something out of the ordinary. In less than 20 years, he developed a barren ce into the nucleus of a great empire with over 800 million inhabitants.


    He reached level 66 on the eve of his coronation, which helped him in many ways. Every day his strength became more relevant, and people respected him even when he did not speak or do anything.


    The Assembly of Vogel itself, which had not liked Minos'' decisions, had, in the end, given in and agreed to ''temporarily'' ept their territory to be a part of the ck in Empire.


    On the other hand, the assemblies in the former territories of the Brown Kingdom and the Cromwell Kingdom had begun their operations, helping to provide stability and development opportunities for those ces.


    As a result, by the time the formation of the empire was made official, the two areas in question had undergone many improvement processes. That calmed the spirits of even those individuals who had lost their rights!


    By the end of this process, nothing out of the ordinary, no plot or incident trying to prevent thepletion of the formation of the empire, had happened.


    The northern region was cheering for Minos to seed, the young man''s allies, enemies of the ming Empire, needed his victory, and the Edwardstone family wanted him to seed. At the same time, the entire region''s poption saw Emperor Stuart as capable, so with so many favorable winds, it was impossible for anything to stand in the way of this project.


    For this very reason, the Spiritual Church had not hindered Minos'' ns at all, having just taken the time needed to form an empire.


    The Church itself would have to move to adjust to these changes, and notifying all the necessary people would not happen in a day or two. So it had taken more than a year before Minos was crowned and matters were finalized.<novelnext></novelnext>


    In this way, while the world was getting used to the new reality of things, Abby ascended to the position of the empress of the ck in. At the same time, Ruth had been given the title of queen, a position only lower in the hierarchy than Minos and his first wife.


    Gloria could not receive an official position in the ck in imperial family since she was officially the Matriarch of the Spiritual Church for the northern region. Thus, her position was the same as before. However, everyone in the region treated her appropriately as part of the Stuart family.


    Finally, Sarah had grown up a little in that period and learned to speak.


    It was only a pity for Gloria that this young girl had said as her first word the word emperor, not mother, as that woman had wished.


    But there was nothing to do. Minos spoiled his daughter and made her watch him rise to that position, so Sarah had said such a thing as her first word.


    And that was what she was muttering as she crawled around the sides of Minos'' imperial throne room.


    ...


    "Emperor..." She murmured as she looked at her father sitting on the throne next to his wives, whom this girl called mothers.


    The imperial guards made way for this child of just over a year old as she crawled fast enough to beat a turtle.


    "Emperor... Daddy..." She said as she made a finger gesture to Minos, indicating what she wanted.


    Minos was paying attention to serious matters at the moment. Still, he did what his daughter wanted by wagging one of his fingers and making this child float to him.


    She happilyughed as she felt her father''s technique just before she fell into his arms and tried to hug him.


    "Daddy... Wha... What... Are you... You doing?" She asked in her immaturenguage.


    Sarah was smart, so she could form little sentences, even though she was only a year old.


    Minos felt his daughter tugging at his hair but did not stop her, just starting to run one of his hands over her little head while paying attention to old Joey.


    That level 59 man continued talking about a recent problem that had been happening in the empire. "... Your Imperial Majesty, the attacks on the army border posts and the Spiritual Church posts have been increasing over the past few weeks."


    "The terrorist grouping from the western region continues to defy the forces of the state, including disrupting the lives of citizens, blocking roads, and destroying crops."


    The warning Minos had received from Emperor Edwardstone had taken a while to take effect. But eventually, the trouble had gotten to him, which had happened about four months ago.


    At that time, the group that seemed to want justice for the Vogel family and the destroyed sect in Albano had begun attacking Church posts in the northern region. Then, with the formation of the ck in Empire, such a group began to attack the army of this state as well.


    Minos had been dealing with the issue for weeks, but he was beginning to lose his patience with it due to the steady decline of his soldiers.


    "Apparently, it is time for us to show the strength of the ck in Empire, or the world will not respect us." Minosmented to the entire imperial throne hall.
