After leaving the Royal Palace, the undecided nobles rushed to find the Second Prince and the Great Prince, conveyed Arthur's demands to them, and upon hearing that Arthur wanted to implement minimum hourly wages, both princes were immediately enraged and openly refused to agree with such demands.
To ensure unity among all, the Great Prince and the Second Prince convened a business meeting, intending to unite all the major merchants in London to oppose Arthur for a month.
The meeting was promptly held. Merchants whose businesses were halted by the strike arrived at the venue urgently. Besides the Great Prince and Second Prince, Marvin and Russell Benjamin were present as well.
