Johan and Hiroshi stood before Prince Philip, who was soon to be crowned as king. Beside him was Duke Arganus, an elderly man with a commanding posture representing the kingdom's military strength, as well as Earl Godwin, the ruler of the region that formed the backbone of food distribution in Althuria. Princess Navi was also present, representing King Calvin Anemoi Arda of the elves.
The room felt heavy with the presence of these significant figures. Although Johan and Hiroshi had faced similar situations before in Duke Arganus' territory, their past successes did not entirely eliminate the tension. After all that had transpired, the industrial revolution they had initiated in the Duke's region had been a success. Now, their mission was to convince the entire kingdom to adopt this monumental change.
