Chapter 153: peace once again
In the days that followed, Amber Heavens' influence expanded rapidly. The leaders chosen for the Iron Dominion and the remnants of the Coalite Syndicate were dispatched with clear instructions: govern with fairness, rebuild trust among the people, and align your policies with the principles of Amber Heavens. These leaders, handpicked for their integrity, understood the gravity of their roles.
The Amber Veil continued to transform the land. Even the territories of the Iron Dominion and the Coalite Syndicate, now part of Amber Heavens' domain, experienced the barrier's effects. Crops grew in abundance, illnesses faded, and the people marveled at the miraculous changes.
Meanwhile, envoys from smaller kingdoms arrived, seeking to pledge loyalty to Amber Heavens. One such envoy, a regal woman from the nearby kingdom of Velrith, knelt before Lyrus in the grand council chamber. "Lord of Amber Heavens, our kingdom wishes to become your vassal. Under your protection, we will serve faithfully and uphold your values."
Lyrus studied her carefully. "If Velrith becomes a vassal, you must govern with justice. Your people's welfare comes first. Do you accept these terms?"
She bowed her head. "I do, my lord. Velrith will follow your example."
Lucidus, standing at Lyrus' side, added, "Master, this trend will continue. More nations will seek your protection, not only because of the Amber Veil but because they see Amber Heavens as a force of balance and fairness."
Lyrus nodded. "Let them come, but ensure they understand that loyalty to Amber Heavens means embracing our principles. Strength without honor is meaningless."
As the meeting concluded, the council prepared to send emissaries to the newly allied territories. The Captains, now empowered by the Amber Veil, volunteered to oversee the integration of these vassal states. Their enhanced abilities made them ideal for such missions.
In the evening, Lyrus walked the streets of Amber Heavens, observing the joy and prosperity radiating from his people. The system's hum filled his thoughts, a constant reminder of the power he wielded. But Lyrus knew that this power came with responsibility.
"Amber Heavens will not only survive," he murmured to himself. "It will lead the world into a new era."
