The first week slowly passed by, and the day of Aella's crowning was near. The city around Arad's castle had to be prepared, and so, the first thing was to give it a proper name. Many were suggested, but in the end, it was decided that they would follow the usual methodology they used to name each city.
The city would take the family name of its first ruler, so the City around Arad's castle was now the new Capital of the Empire, Orion. The Great Capital of Orion was born that day, and with it, the empire began to rapidly grow. As sad as it was, it was only a matter of time before Alina got absorbed into the thriving new capital.
But unlike what Arad expected, Lord Alina was excited for the change. His daughter was now one of the queens, making him a member of the royal family, and with his city getting absorbed into the capital, he was about to be promoted from just a city lord to a marquise and given jurisdiction over a great district of the capital.
