Chapter 18: Chapter Eighteen: The First Meeting of the House of Commons

The crowd instantly got silent after hearing the guard's words, and they all turned their expectant eyes towards the guard, or rather, the list of names he held in his hand.

Seeing the crowd gradually quiet down, the guard began, "What is now being announced is the list of elected members of the House of Commons for the entire New South Wales State. Once the list is announced, the members shall officially assume their duties for a two-year term."

"Albert... Martin... Henris! These 71 people are the newly appointed members of the House of Commons. Soldiers will soon go to these members' residence to notify them. According to His Highness's command, the first official meeting of the House of Commons is scheduled for June 10th, by then, all elected members should attend unless there are special circumstances," The guard solemnly reminded after announcing all the names.

Because it was the first time that the House of Commons held a meeting, Arthur decided to preside over it in person.
