Chapter 484 You are my queen, my Lord Earl!

Looking at the nobles of all ranks in the hall bowing in unison and shouting "Your Majesty", Gervis felt as if he were in another world.

"Am I really crowned king?"

This was something that Gervis had never thought about before, and similarly he had not felt this strongly before his coronation.

Fortunately, Gervis had the experience of a lord, and he recovered after just a moment of trance.

Gervis turned around and sat on the king's throne.

"Oh, this throne is not as comfortable as I thought. It is too wide and I can't even lean against the back!"

This was Gervis' first feeling when he sat on the king's throne, but he didn't have much time to complain at the moment. He just muttered for a moment and then withdrew his thoughts, looking at the group of nobles below.

"His Majesty Lawrence's decision was very sudden. I never thought that I would become the heir to the throne."

"But since everyone agrees that I am capable of sitting on this throne, then I will not refuse! I swear to the God of Glory here that I will lead everyone to crush the church's conspiracy and reclaim our homeland!"

After sitting down, Gervis immediately made his coronation declaration.

It is not a long speech, but instead it gets to the point and goes straight to the point.

Gervis knew why these nobles, both big and small, supported him to ascend the throne.

After he finished speaking, seeing that the nobles below did not say anything, Gervis was still worried about one thing, so he immediately signaled to a servant below with his eyes.

The servant was also carrying a tray. After receiving Gervis's signal, he immediately saluted respectfully, then walked out of the crowd and walked towards the platform.

The servant came close to Gervis holding a tray. Gervis was sitting on the throne at that time. In order to show respect, the servant knelt on his knees in front of Gervis.

Then the servant raised the tray in his hand and placed it in front of Gervis.

There is also an exquisite crown on the tray, but this crown is very small and is mainly silver. It is the queen's crown.

Gervis didn't hesitate, he reached out and picked up the crown from the tray, then looked at Alice who was still standing beside him.

When Alice noticed Gervis's gaze, her pretty face blushed a little. Finally, she pursed her red lips slightly, walked in front of Gervis and half-knelt down.

If someone else becomes queen, she must kneel down and accept the king's coronation.

However, in addition to the title of queen, Alice was also the Count of the Principality of Jean, so at this time she only needed to half-kneel to accept the coronation.

In fact, after Gervis knew about this, he wanted to prevent Alice from even kneeling on one knee. Unfortunately, as the heir to the earldom, Alice attached great importance to this aspect of etiquette and rejected Gervis' idea.

"From now on, you are my queen! Earl Alice!"

Gervis put the small and exquisite crown on Alice's head, and then teased his cheap wife with barely audible words.

When Alice heard what Gervis said, she immediately stood up with a slightly red face, saluted Gervis again, then glanced at Gervis unhappily from an angle that could not be seen by the audience, and then sat on the queen's seat next to Gervis.

…

From then on, Gervis's coronation ceremony was finally completed, and from this moment on, he became the new king of the Principality of Jean.

After the coronation was completed, the nobles in the hall did not disperse, but walked out of the crowd one by one to swear allegiance to Gervis, even the Lord of the North was no exception.

Among the four remaining earls in the Principality of Jean, except for the Jones family and the Weldon family of the Lord of the North, the remaining two are the Elvo family and the Stani family.

These two earl families were ranked in the middle and lower ranks in terms of strength among the original eight earl families. This time they would rather fight to the death than surrender to the church, and that is how they were luckily saved.

Speaking of which, the Elvor family and Gerves have some connections. They are the family of Boris, who lost the purple elf to Gerves in Winterfell.

Several earl families swore allegiance to Gervis, followed by some of the king's former vassals and subordinates.

For example, Commander Sina and other legion generals, after Sina and others had finished swearing allegiance, today's coronation ceremony had come to an end.

Just when Gervis was about to ask everyone to disperse and attend the coronation banquet, Hayden, who had been silent, suddenly walked out of the crowd.

"King Gervis, I have something to say!"

Hayden stood at the foot of the platform, bowed to Gervis, and then spoke loudly.

"Oh, King Hayden! If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

Gervis was a little surprised, but seeing that Hayden didn't look like he wanted to disrupt the coronation ceremony, he just let him speak out.

"King Gervis, I, Hayden Harold, want to join the Principality of Jean and swear allegiance to you!"

Wow!

In an instant, the whole hall was boiling!

Hayden is actually ready to pledge allegiance to Gervis. You know, he is a king!

Hayden's words were beyond everyone's expectations, including Gervis.

"King Hayden! You are the king of the Principality of Alban, why did you choose to be loyal to me!"

Gervis asked curiously.

"Your Majesty Gervis, the Duchy of Alban has now fallen under the iron hoof of the church. My title of king is actually dead in name only!"

"And now if we want to defeat the church, you are our strongest support, so I hope to assist you in crushing the church's conspiracy and avenge all the warriors who died in our Principality of Alban!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In fact, this was a decision that Hayden thought about for a long time before making.

Now that the Duchy of Alban has been destroyed, he is a king in name only.

It would be better to become one of our own instead of living under someone else's roof in the City of Glory.

That way he would not be suspected by the nobles of both large and small states in the Principality of Zeon, and he would be able to truly integrate himself with the Principality of Zeon to deal with the church.

In addition, the most important thing is that the king of the Principality of Jean is no longer Lawrence, but Gervis.

Gervis had no great hatred with the noble principalities of the Duchy of Alban, and Gervis himself was an unrivaled warrior who could compete with the Pope. There was nothing wrong with Hayden's choice to be loyal to Gervis.

What's more, if one day they really defeated the church and recaptured the entire continent, would Hayden still have a chance to restore his country?

Obviously, with a strong man like Gervis around, there is no possibility at all. Hayden sees this very clearly.

Therefore, instead of surrendering to him then, it is better to become his helper now while Gervis is still young and fully grown. The rewards you will get in the future will definitely be huge.

Hayden's answer was quite standard, but Gervis roughly guessed what Hayden was thinking. If that was the case, he certainly had no reason to reject him.

The two duchies now have only two peak gold knights, the Lord of the North and Hayden!

So if Hayden is willing to be loyal to him, then Gervis will have the only two remaining golden knights in the principality, and both of them are relatively reliable, so he can sit on the throne of king more securely.

At the same time, the integration of the Principality of Jean and the Principality of Alban would truly eliminate the internal hidden dangers of the two duchies. Gervis should never miss such a good thing.

"Very good! Sir Hayden Harold, I accept your request!"

Gervis immediately stood up with a smile, expressing his respect for Hayden, the former king!

Hayden then swore an oath of allegiance to Gervais in public.

In order to appease Hayden and his subordinates, Gervis appointed Hayden as the Earl of the Principality of Jean on the spot, and gave Hayden the territory of a man who had betrayed the Earl's family of the Principality of Jean.

Naturally, Gervis was reluctant to grant the fiefs of Avery and Nemion to Hayden. After all, these two families were originally the most powerful earl families in the Principality of Jean, and they were two big pieces of fat meat.

As for whether this would be unfair to Hayden, as long as the church was really destroyed, would there be any worries about having no land?

When Hayden heard that Gervis had directly conferred an earldom on him, he burst into laughter. At least this was Gervis' sincerity towards him, and it was also the foundation for the survival of the remaining forces of the Principality of Alban.

A noble without a territory is worthless, but a lord with a territory, even if it is in a remote area, can be passed down from generation to generation and has infinite hope.
