Chapter 808: George V's Request

The grandeur of the Empire's establishment was fleeting; apart from the people of Australasia, who were still celebrating, government officials and royal families had already embarked on their journeys home.

Of course, there were still numerous representatives from various governments and royal families who had chosen to stay behind to celebrate Arthur's birthday.

This was Arthur's first birthday since becoming Emperor, officially marking his 45th year and thus slowly advancing towards the age of 50.

Although constantly being praised by representatives and royal families for his political prime, Arthur was already exhausted by the endless daily affairs of state.

If it hadn't been for William growing up and taking over a significant portion of the governmental duties, Arthur truly felt that being a king was not an easy task.

Especially now that he was approaching 50, Arthur did not intend to hold onto imperial power until the day he died.
