Four days after all the authority and legal rights were handed to Kahn as the new sovereign of the Verlassen mountain range, he finally left for the capital of this region and his new base of operation.
And the capital was called… AESIR.
Kahn was granted 7 Warships by the government as a form of showing their support and after Kahn was done settling all the things in Rukon District, let it be ensuring the safety of Albestros, Sirius and The Bloodborne pany or leaving people in charge of the Seven Deadly Sins… he and all the subordinates departed for their new home.
After spending 12 hours flying via the warships that could travel one thousand kilometers in just an hour, Kahn finally entered the capital which itself had more than 40 million citizens in total population.
The rest of the citizens were spread across many other cities and business hubs that contributed greatly to the economy. And the center of mand was obviously the capital which was going to be his new headquarters.
When Kahn's 200 meters tall, 400 meters wide and massive warships landed in the central region and close to his new castle under the public eyes, the entire crowd was excited to see their new ruler finally ing to live among them.
Kahn was already informed that his wele would be celebrated throughout all the cities and settlements within the region and his weling ceremony would be broadcasted for all the masses.
Shhhoooaaaa!!
Kahn walked out of the main entrance of the ginormous black warship and following him, six humanoid figures escorted their master.
Kahn was now donned in a gray and royal attire that made him look like a prince of a european country. His appearance and the aura he emitted gave a hint of a domineering sovereign who had confidence and authority oozing out of him.

A long cue of beginner grandmaster rank warriors dressed as Kahn's new Royal Guards had taken a stand on both sides and under the eyes of the public, they escorted their sovereign.
After walking a mile and being weled under loud cheers from the bustling crowd, he walked towards the podium that was placed right at the main entrance of his new castle that was situated very high in the capital grounds and one had to walk hundreds of stairs just to reach here.
And finally, under the expectant gazes of the more than 220 million citizens that belonged to different species, races, genders and colors; Kahn finally began his speech.
"People of Verlassen mountain range who eagerly waited for my arrival since the Emperor's Chosen petition ended and now gathered to wele me while putting aside all your work and chores…
I have one thing to say to all of you." spoke Kahn with a benign and charming smile on his face.
"I, Kahn Salvatore… have e back to my home!" he said with a tone full of passion and nostalgia.
"Yeeeaaaahhhh!!"
"Yes! He's one of us!!"
"Wele home!!"
"We believe in you, our Lord!"
Soon, thousands and millions of people cheered and applauded Kahn. The overly crowded and bustling city of Aesir was now shaking with people's chanting and loud screams.

The same scenarios were happening in thousands of cities, towns and villages spread across Verlassen and people wholeheartedly weled their new ruler whom they had attached all their hopes onto.
Kahn then continued and spoke in a vehement voice..
"I'm not here to make false claims or act like everything is under control. I am fully aware of the misery of people here because it is the only way to make a living and survive..
To all of our people who have lost their families, loved ones and friends.. To all of the soldiers who leave behind their homes to protect us over the border and sacrifice themselves while facing the monster tides every year... I promise you that I'll make sure it doesn't happen again as long as I'm here." he spoke with a resolute tone.
Another wave of ear-deafening cheers resounded throughout Verlassen.
But as soon as the crowd finally settled down.. Kahn spoke with the eyes of a domineering tyrant as his tone became extremely serious.
"I know of another truth that has been hidden from you all of you till now."
"The corruption that happens in the government sectors that was running this place till now..
The abuse of authority by those who control the military..
The underhanded measure taken by the powerful to keep oppressing those who want to rise in ranks and make better lives for themselves.
Those who scam and cheat under the name of business related to materials and ores..
I know all of it." spoke Kahn as his gazes shifted to thousands of high-class and influential figures who had e to attend this weling ceremony.
At this moment, many of the conglomerates had a surprised expression on their face as soon as they heard Kahn's words.
In front of all his subjects, Kahn made another declaration.
"Previously, the government was in control. But now, I am the one who makes rules here and the highest authority.
Soon, I will make new laws and regulations.
My new order will be made equal for all of the citizens.
There will be a new set of criteria while lending tenders and deals. Let it be the military stationed here or the organizations that impact the economy.
Let it be someone who is from a moner birth, from an influential noble clan, ministers or someone from a military house background..
No one shall be an exception to these rules.
I will cut down the head that stops the normal citizens of the Verlassen to live their lives as proud members of society. I will cut those hands who steal from the hardworking people who barely earn enough to feed their families." spoke Kahn with his heavy and tyrannical voice.
All the citizens watching him on the broadcasting screens were shocked and then rejoiced to hear his truthful words.
Millions of people teared up after his promise as if a dam of grief they had amassed over the years had finally broken.
While the elites of the society and many officials felt a sense of dread and contempt towards Kahn.
He spoke again with an iron will in his eyes..
"I, Kahn Salvatore, take an oath that as long as I'm alive, I shall give my everything to my people and protect them at all cost.
So keep believing in me and I shall make this place not only a haven for you to live..."
His emotional face full of care and warmth appeared on the screens as the new sovereign pleted his speech.
"But a motherland you could be proud of!"
