Chapter 419 - 257: Inviting the Holy Warrior, Discerning Loyalty and Treachery - Part 2
"Uranos, don’t you think this order of yours is a bit extreme? Leave some room for maneuver, perhaps you don’t care now, but being opposed by the entire family is not a pleasant experience!"
Noah contacted Uranos to discuss how to handle over thirty thousand members of the Augustus family with the King Atlas.
"The number of family members is too many. If everyone claims royalty during my reign, the nation’s finances can still bear it.
But by the time my children, my grandchildren, and my great-grandchildren take over, the nation’s finances will surely be overwhelmed, and even if the monarch then wishes to change, they will probably be powerless."
Facing Noah’s suggestion, Uranos also provided a justified reason,
"I’ve already identified the problem, and addressing it now incurs the least resistance. As time goes on, this issue will only grow more severe.
I can’t leave such trouble for my descendants; it must be solved now. No matter what obstacles there are now, I will eliminate them all."
"I’m not here to obstruct you, but I hope you can treat the meritorious contributors to the Augustus family well. Their talents might be ordinary, but it doesn’t mean their descendants will be the same, don’t let such people resent you and the family."
To treat meritorious individuals harshly and issue rewards indiscriminately is a terrible act, whether in a country or an organized power. Once it happens, it often heralds the beginning of downfall.
"I will distinguish these family contributors and confer honor upon them as the Family Head."
"That’s more like it!"
