Chapter 443 Gervis feels like he's done for
The main hall of the palace is located in the middle of the entire palace. It is the largest and most majestic building in the palace. It is supported by a total of eighteen marble pillars on the outside, and the interior is a single-story building with a circular dome, which is more than 40 meters high.
At this time, the hall has been redecorated, and colorful flags are fluttering in the wind everywhere outside, indicating that a major ceremony will be held here today.
In addition to the colorful flags, there is a red carpet extending straight into the hall from a hundred meters outside the main entrance of the hall.
When Gervis entered the main hall, he was immediately shocked by the spacious space inside. This was the first time he had seen such a towering building that surpassed the sky. The highest point of the circular dome was at least thirty or forty meters high. Looking up, he suddenly felt insignificant.
Right in front of the hall, there is a high platform with twelve steps in total. On top of the steps is a magnificent king's throne, on which are carved long swords and giant dragons, symbolizing power and conquest.
Perhaps the Second Prince couldn't wait to be crowned king, so after Gervis and the others arrived at the hall, they didn't have to wait long before the Second Prince arrived from the front of the palace with a group of guards.
The Second Prince was dressed in a luxurious silk purple robe today, with a cape thrown behind him. King Hayden was the only one in the palace dressed like this before last night.
However, because he had not been crowned yet, the second prince Alott did not have a crown on his head, nor did he hold the king's scepter in his hand, which symbolized supreme authority.
The second prince, Alot, walked slowly along the red carpet in the center of the hall. When he passed in front of a group of nobles, all the nobles bowed and saluted to show their respect.
…
As the nobles saluted one after another, the Second Prince's demeanor became more stable. He held his head high, stared straight at the throne in front of him, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When the second prince came to the steps in front of the throne, he couldn't help but pause, turned around and looked around, as if he wanted to remember what it felt like to stand under the throne.
Because when he is crowned king, his position will be on the high platform from then on.
After a moment, the second prince withdrew his gaze, his eyes became firm, and he walked towards the platform step by step.
It took more than ten seconds for the second prince to slowly climb up the platform and come to the throne. Then he turned around gracefully and cast a glance at the guards below the stage.
After receiving the look from the Second Prince Alot, the guard immediately stood up straight and shouted to all the nobles: "The coronation ceremony has officially begun!"
After these words fell, two servants holding trays quickly came to the center of the hall from both sides, then lowered their heads and walked carefully towards the throne holding the trays.
When they walked up to the throne, they lowered their bodies to the lowest position, bent 90 degrees, raised the tray above their heads and presented it in front of the second prince.
The two trays contained the crown and the scepter.
At this time, the second prince Alott no longer hesitated. He first picked up the king's crown with both hands, slowly lifted it over his head, and then put it on his own head.
After putting on the crown, the second prince Alot took the scepter that shone with golden light and was inlaid with various gems in his left hand.
"From now on, I am king!"
The second prince, Alot, wearing a crown and holding a scepter, sat on the king's throne in high spirits and shouted to all the nobles below.
"Greetings, His Majesty!"
"Greetings, His Majesty!"
Seeing that the second prince Alot had been crowned, the nobles below bowed in greeting.
"Haha! Great! From today on, I will lead the Principality of Alban into glory!"
"Now, pass on my first order! All nobles gather the army and prepare to leave the city! Set off immediately one hour after lunch! I will lead you to defeat the invader Lawrence!"
Hearing the king's honorific title, Alot could no longer suppress his inner excitement and laughed out loud.
After the laughter died down, he issued his first order after ascending the throne.
Wow!
The nobles were still calm the moment before, after all, Alot's coronation as king was a foregone conclusion last night.
But the new king's first order scared them. Even when the old king Hayden was around, they could only passively take the beatings against the Principality of Jean.
What's more, now that they have already consumed so much energy internally, they still have to go out of the city to meet the enemy. They feel that this is no different from committing suicide.
The nobles below the platform looked at each other, and no one immediately accepted the order.
Among them, perhaps only Gervis hoped to leave the city, because only in this way would he have a chance to escape.
"Your Majesty, the Principality of Jean has at least 80,000 troops, and their weapons and equipment are better than ours. Would you like to consider defending the city first, and then go out of the city to fight after we have consumed some of the Principality of Jean's strength?"
After a while, an earl finally stood up from the crowd below and carefully put forward his suggestions.
"Humph! Now I have become your king! This is my first order after becoming king. Anyone who dares to oppose it will be like the Kenny family and no longer have a reason to exist!"
Alote snorted coldly, glanced below with cold eyes, and spoke word by word.
"Now, I say it again, gather the troops and leave the city!"
When the nobles below heard what Alot said, and recalled what happened to the Earl of the Kenny family last night, they all broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately saluted and replied in unison: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"I know that the Principality of Jean is stronger than us, but I have said that I will make the Principality of Alban the only kingdom on the continent, so don't worry, if I dare to let you go out of the city to fight the enemy, you will be sure to win!"
Alot also knew how to use both kindness and force. After the nobles surrendered, his tone became calm and he made assurances to the nobles below.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Regardless of whether the nobles believed it or not, they had no way to refute the situation at this moment.
Next, Alot released a group of nobles in the palace and asked them to return to their camps to arrange to leave the city.
Originally, Gervis was a little puzzled as to why Alott dared to release all the nobles directly. Wasn't he afraid that they would rebel?
When they left the palace, they found out that Alott had completely taken control of King Hayden's three elite legions.
Two of them are infantry legions of 5,000 people, and the other is the Thunder Knights Legion of more than a thousand people.
Although Gervis didn't know how Alott conquered these legions, now that Alott had mastered these forces, he didn't have to worry about the nobles going back on their word.
When Gervis left the palace, he first went to the manor where he stayed last night and brought Caroline out directly.
Gervis originally thought that Alott had just been crowned king and had extremely lofty ambitions in his heart, so he did not have time to pay attention to himself, a small viscount.
However, what surprised him was that Alot actually remembered Caroline and him, and sent a herald to tell him to take Caroline with him when he went to war.
It is obvious that Alot is still prepared to use Caroline to humiliate King Lawrence and the Grand Prince of the Principality of Jean.
"This is a bit difficult! My cheap wife and the Lord of the North will definitely be there. If they knew that I gave Caroline to..."
In an instant, Gervis shuddered all over and felt that he was about to die.
After bringing Caroline back to his camp, Gervis began to give orders to Ike and others with an uneasy mood, asking them to get ready to set off.
"Grevith, what's wrong with you? You look distracted!"
Ever since leaving the palace, Caroline's eyes have been on Gervis, as if he was the only one in the world.
So Caroline immediately noticed some abnormal behavior of Gervis.
"Uh...it's okay! It's okay!"
Of course, Gervais wouldn't tell Caroline what he was worried about.
"Oh! Are you really okay?"
Caroline blinked her beautiful eyes, with a half-smile on her face.
"It's okay! It's okay!"
Gervis felt bitter in his heart, but he forced a smile and said affirmatively.
