territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, there was still some time before the final release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, the most important matter was the Emperor's Ascension Day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the ceremony went wrong, there would be no need for the Hoffman family to unleash their creatures—the King's Court would fall into chaos on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Eden quickly turned all his attention toward the preparations for the ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the event just three days away, the basic structure was already in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the day of the Emperor's Ascension, the King's Court would halt all work for an unprecedented day, distributing free food to the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone would have the opportunity to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could either join the street parades or devote themselves to the worship rituals dedicated to the God-Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a blessing from the great God-Emperor and the kind Governor, a gift everyone could enjoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for the Imperial Guards, defense forces, and enforcers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would be responsible for security, with their day off postponed by one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grand ceremony would take place at the Sacred Square, the main venue of the Emperor's Ascension Day!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those fortunate enough to gain entry to the Sacred Square would receive blessings before the statue of the God-Emperor, adorned with gold and jewels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each person would also receive consecrated bread and holy water from the church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most important part of the ceremony was Eden's speech as Governor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, it was just him making promises to the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the promises were made, divine miracles would appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Eden would simply wait for the surge of Hope Power to flow in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If everything went smoothly, he would gather enough Hope Power to secure critical resources that could turn the tide in his favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the plan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the entire King's Court was dedicated to making this happen, and most of the arrangements were already in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing left unresolved was the list of people who would attend the ceremony at the Sacred Square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The front-row attendees and those marching in the parade were easy to determine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would be members of families loyal to the King's Court, key officials from important departments, and officers from various military forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their family members would also be included.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This part was straightforward and had already been rehearsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real challenge was selecting the common citizens who would attend the ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which of them would be deemed worthy of entering the Sacred Square?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the plan, about 50,000 citizens were to be admitted into the square to receive blessings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the main source of Hope Power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emotions were contagious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden expected that once these people returned home, they would inspire others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would serve as a node, spreading that energy to more people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These individuals played a crucial role, and couldn't be randomly chosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The square would be packed with a dense crowd during the ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If any heretics or malcontents managed to slip in and detonate a bio-bomb or launch an attack, it would be disastrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an event would immediately trigger mass panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resulting stampede and chaos would turn the ceremony into a tragedy, with heavy casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The collective fear and despair of so many people gathered in one place could be catastrophic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, not only would the collection of Hope Power fail, but it could even summon a Chaos daemon on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why the list of citizens was so important—it required thorough vetting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only those who were devout followers of the God-Emperor, loyal to the King's Court, and hardworking individuals would be allowed to attend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The task of selecting these citizens was assigned to a newly created department that Eden had established the day before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This new department, called the Secretariat, was led by Bayev and staffed by a group of young officials who were absolutely loyal to the Governor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Secretariat operated independently of all other departments and answered directly to the Governor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had considerable authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When deployed, they could act in the Governor's name to mobilize other departments to assist in handling affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In essence, Eden had carved out a new group from the existing structure of the King's Court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These officials combined the roles of the Governor's emissaries and intelligence officers, assisting Bayev in handling sensitive and critical tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were young and not yet set in their ways, making them prime candidates for future grooming. This was part of Eden's long-term plan for reform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Secretariat was currently labeled as a temporary department in the records, not part of the official hierarchy, giving Eden the flexibility to make adjustments or upgrades in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In time, this group of young officials would play a larger role, injecting fresh blood into the King's Court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ceremony would be their first assignment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bayev quickly arranged the Secretariat's headquarters, located not far from the Spire Estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The building had previously been used by the Department of Internal Affairs but was now vacated for the Secretariat's use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the internal affairs staff were disgruntled, they moved out quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was the Governor's order—no one dared defy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the officials in the King's Court understood that a powerful new political force was on the rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Secretariat had already seized a portion of the Internal Affairs Department's authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, it might claim even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, two hundred young officials of the Secretariat were standing in formation at their new headquarters, waiting for Eden's arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wore the Secretariat's black formal coats, black leather boots, and armbands bearing the insignia of a red background with a golden lion, a more dignified design than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of them was armed with the most advanced laspistols currently available in the King's Court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Eden's plan, these officials would eventually be assigned assistants and elite military units, enabling them to carry out their tasks within the King's Court unimpeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this would be done gradually, and everything would be fully equipped after the ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deville stood in the front row, his face cold and expressionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the proper demeanor for an official of the body retrieval unit in the Logistics Department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also the expected attitude of the Governor's enforcers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they went out into the field, they would act as the Governor's emissaries, embodying his authority!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for some time, Bayev led Eden into the headquarters to review the officials of the Secretariat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden glanced at their attire and nodded in approval:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very good, this is exactly what I had in mind!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As always, his steward was reliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the Governor was pleased, Bayev finally breathed a sigh of relief:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Governor, for your wise guidance. Without it, I wouldn't have known what to do!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Steward Bayev, you've worked hard...\" Eden said, even more satisfied, patting Bayev on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bayev could get things done and knew how to flatter—what more could a leader want?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden walked over to Deville and the others, carefully observing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he watched, Eden's brow furrowed, his expression growing darker by the second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deville, standing in the front row, noticed the Governor's frown and grew increasingly tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the Governor be dissatisfied?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsk, this isn't quite right...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden muttered, thinking hard before finally speaking up, his eyes locking on Deville:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Especially you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deville's heart sank upon hearing those words. He could barely stand from the shock!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Check Out My Patreon For +20 Extra Chapters On All My Fanfics!!
