Wheel of Power

For the last few days, Redentia has been thrown into chaos. All of its citizens have seen the arrival of men from the sky that all of the preachers announced were the arms that carried His will.

With the streets filled with soldiers from a foreign and faraway place, and the frantic chants and prayers given by the various preachers through their vox-device. The population was put into tense as the past explosions in the sky two days ago, alongside the whispers that spoke of powerful beings taking hold of this world. Made the poor and ignorant inhabitants of the capital city filled with apprehension and unrest.

For all their lives they have only known one constant, and that order. Something of which has been lost these days.

However, it wasn't the people who were the most restless and filled with uncertainty. But those who have spoken with those who have been present at the showcase of might provided by the Xenos that made themselves known.

Worst yet, their minds were fearful of the announced change of reign in this world. As none could escape from this world.

Because the ones that could taken them away, lay now silent as they followed orders. Unable to raise a word of dissent.

The Imperial Guard was subdued as they followed the order given by the officers, cleaning away the orks that settled in the wildlands of Faradras and protecting villages and small towns alike. Though many were prepared to do such work, as that was what they'd been told would be their duty. None wore a smile.

For words have been spread like wildfire amidst their ranks, even when the Commissar has worked arduously to prevent it. Yet such was the nature of the human being.

Nonetheless, the guardsmen had but one job. And that it was of giving death to the Imperium's many foes.

And with orders clear from the Command head, they did silently their job as they awaited. While in the palace of Redentia both nobles and Imperial Officers tried to maintain a chain of command.

Those nobles in higher positions were now all reunited in the Eviction Chamber, alongside their servants, and other figures of importance. Looking with anxiety and fear at the figure sitting in the middle of the wide chamber.

There sitting on the one chair used by Redentia Seneschal was sitting a man of formidable appearance. His eyes were of an onyx colour, and his eyes were stern giving him a commanding gaze. His brows were sharp like blades giving his commanding eyes a more threatening aura as they shaped a pissed look to his visage.

His cheeks were high and bony, while his chiselled jawline was sharp. Complementing his handsome features on the rest of his face.

His dark mane was long, reaching his shoulders easily as his locks were wild. Giving him a barbarian yet regal look.

His neck was thick as it was filled with muscles that seemed to brim with strength. The rest of his body was covered in a black spandex that was tight fit to his body. Showcasing his powerful limbs that were of such size that no man in Redentia could compare with.

His chest and waist were covered in a strange armour for the nobles, that looked like nothing they'd ever seen.

Just with his physical appearance alone, he made the various figures that held so much power in the room dim at his presence. Yet the man carried himself with an aura of indomitable power that made even the boldest in the room to bite his tongue and remain silent.

"...and last but not least, the census has shown that our population is young. With a higher percentage of women than men." The old voice of one minister could be heard as he finished giving the recounts of Redentia affairs.

"Once the scholars you've sent to our base finish with their learning, we will begin the reforms for not only this capital but this planet to flourish and expand their population." Bann's deep voice powerfully reverberates throughout the chamber as he states.

"We are going to need more hands to increase the yields once the primary goods are gathered and the first of our machines are built. I need the population well-fed and intelligent if I want to get good results. Ensure their education to step up a notch while giving incentives to the young to form more families alongside getting more kids." He eyed the minister when saying so. For then stared the various nobles in his field of vision.

"As you wish, sire." The minister said as he stepped back and retreated to one of the seats.

As silence remained along the chamber, aside from some coughs, Bann spoke once again "You are probably expecting to get more richness and more power to hold. Yet I must warn you all, none of it would happen in the meantime. For I need your coins and power to improve this world, in exchange as I promise your troops would wear our armours that could take hits from those lasguns of the Imperial Guard."

Murmurs and whispers spread through the nobles as they gulped down in greediness at the notion, while Bann continues "Our weapons are easily more powerful than anything that the regular infantry of the Imperium can wield. Alongside our ships, your troops would be undisputed in any field. Any world that we conquer would have plenty of lands for you to lay your hands."

Many salivate at the notion of such a thing. Aware of the trades they could partake in while increasing the coffers of their families. With ships that didn't require the use of the warp, they could travel safely while getting rich in but a fraction of the time a regular trader from the Imperium needed.

"Yet you should all be aware of the fate that awaits from any of you who dares to hold treacherous thoughts. We the Saiyan and all of our descendants will be the ones to rule each world, and all of you will answer to their will." His words brought the nobles back from their imagination as they shuddered at the cold reminder.

Seeing one hand being raised, Bann eyed one man as he rose to his feet and asked "Sire, and what about the families that hold ties with your people? Will our family rule alongside the Saiyan descendants?" His tone was fearful yet respectful.

Bann nodded his head while saying "That would be indeed the case, but just like a royal family, there would be a hierarchy to respect and you should all be aware of it." The man bowed his head while a grin appeared on his face.

Moving his gaze towards the position he remembered the ginger beauty was sitting, Bann spoke aloud "Speaking of which, after this meeting is finished, I hope for you all to present those whom you should seek to marry me. I will hold only two concubines in the meantime from which our children will be the rulers of worlds of their own." He saw Aurora raising her face as she stared him back.

Grinning at her he then moved to look around once again as he said "Though I won't shun any offer to bear more offspring, just be aware that none of them will receive the benefits that both my wives would have."

Bann said those words for a simple reason. They needed numbers, a whole lot of them. Once they start to conquer nearby systems they would need someone to not only act as their regents but also defend them while ensuring the loyalty of such places.

As each Saiyan hybrid has a higher potential than a regular one, alongside their more clever-minded nature. They would make good rulers and military officers for the unimpending Saiyan Army.

One army that would numbers in bulk to act as squads to be sent to each world to attack, defend and conquer. For the enemies they would face would be more than they could ever fathom.

While Bann himself could potentially conquer a world by himself and destroy entire armies with ease, his energy and stamina were limited while the constant waves and attacks could overrun him.

And that was without counting the warp, which has proven to be somewhat problematic not only for him but the other Saiyans too. Showing that they weren't immune to it, for Bann's chagrin.

Although they have showcased a higher defence and tolerance to the taint of Chaos, they would inevitably fall into it once they get tired and their ki ran out.

Which was the reason why he decided to take such a path. Although he never liked and respected those men who abandoned their kids, he was now about to follow their actions.

Though he would train and guide them all he could. But without being the parent he would have liked to be. Much to his despair.

'I know I could have done better, but this is the best I can come up with in my current situation.' He tried to reassure his mind, though the guilt for doing an act he hadn't done already was slowly taking root.

Eyeing the nefarious looks that many nobles held after hearing his words, Bann let out a sigh while he continued explaining to them the things that needed to be done immediately.

Radical changes were about to be made in the livelihood of Faradras citizens. Preparing them for the new era that has begun.

It wouldn't be until the night that the nobles were allowed to exit the chamber, with dozens of papers with written orders and tasks to be done. Hundreds of servants exited the palace in their horses while spreading the first of the orders.

Roads, schools, houses, and even districts were about to be built while the buildable infrastructure would be constructed in the meantime.

But that wasn't all, for the most important order that was given in the palace was the one that would forever alter the fate of the galaxy. The various churches and their preachers were about to face such unimaginable change that none of them saw it coming.

Yet while the gears of change started moving outside, in the Eviction Chamber remained a good amount of people, Bann stood stoically amidst a group of eager suitors, all vying for his attention. The air was thick with anticipation as the young maidens fidgeted nervously, presenting their houses and delicate hands to the seasoned warrior. His red-coloured scouter rested against the side of his face, its advanced technology analyzing each of the women in intricate detail.

Despite their beauty and grace, none of them stood out from the others. Their unremarkable ki and pale complexions gave little indication of the full lives they had led thus far. It was clear that they had never made any real effort in the martial arts, but Bann knew that they possessed a keen mind for politics. He watched them carefully, studying their reactions as they vied for his favour.

'I should have taken someone as an advisor to tell me who the fuck will be the most suitable of them.' Bann admonished to himself as he acknowledged his lack of information in regards to their family standings.

He stood there patiently, his attention fully focused on each woman as she shared her pedigree and the grandiose family she came from. He engaged in small talk with each one, carefully selecting his words while his eyes roamed over their appearance, taking note of every detail that stood out. With a discerning eye, he selected those who caught his attention and seemed to have that extra special something.

Though he wouldn't decide now as this was just their formal presentation, he would play into their shenanigans about fancying a noblewoman as he would learn anything useful for them on a later occasion.

'Though they would kill me for spending time with girls instead of training with them, heh.' He chuckled to himself while he parted ways with the last of the nobles. Turning around to see Aurora Fennetos who remained in her position in the seat.

He had asked her to remain back as he wanted to talk with her.

*TAP* *TAP*

His footsteps echoed the chamber as he approached her "Lady Fennetos, I apologize for the time it took me to finish with... this, now, shall we?" He asked her with a subtle smile as the woman eyed him with dignity.

It was time to see how thorny a rose could be.
