Chapter 481 Heir to the throne!
After the church's troops retreated, the unconscious Gervis was carried back to the City of Glory. From then on, the two duchies had a temporary chance to breathe because of Gervis.
…
In a luxurious room, Gervis lay on a soft big bed.
"Um!"
At this moment, Gervis, who was originally in a coma, suddenly moved.
However, the pain all over his body made him groan in pain at the first moment.
"Grevith, you're awake!"
At this first moment, a voice of great joy came to Gervis' ears.
Gervis endured the pain all over his body and tried hard to open his eyes. What he saw was Alice's stunningly beautiful face.
At this moment, Alice's eyes were full of surprise.
"Um!"
Gervis wanted to raise his arms, but unfortunately, as soon as he exerted force, his whole body began to ache. In the end, Gervis could only force an ugly smile and hum, then continued to lie down and began to look around.
"Alice, where are we now?"
When Alice saw that Gervis wanted to get up, she immediately leaned over and carefully helped Gervis up, leaning him against the cushion at the head of the bed, and then answered Gervis' questions slowly.
"Gevis, we are in the palace of the City of Glory! Although the church has temporarily withdrawn, the rangers we sent out have discovered that the church is now stationed in Baiyan City! And they are making siege equipment."
“So in order to guard against the church, we are temporarily unable to return to the territory!
"oh!"
"Alice! I've been unconscious for days!"
Gervis was not surprised that the church did not retreat directly.
When he saw Longfellow slowly getting on his horse that day, Gervais had actually guessed that Longfellow might have been seriously injured.
However, he was also at the end of his strength at that time, and the effectiveness of the black kiwi fruit was about to disappear, so he did not prompt the Lord of the North to go up and kill Longfellow.
After all, the magicians and golden knights behind Longfellow are enough to give the two duchies a hard time!
"You've been in a coma for a week, Gervase!"
Alice's eyes were full of tenderness, but also a hint of fatigue.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then a hot woman walked in. It was Caroline.
"Grevith! You're awake!"
When Caroline saw Gervis leaning against the head of the bed, she was extremely excited and quickly went to Gervis' bed.
"Just woke up!"
Gervis felt a little guilty and could only force a smile and nodded to Caroline.
"I'm glad you're okay! I'll go get someone to get you something to eat!"
Caroline knew that her reaction just now was a bit too much, after all, Alice was still here.
But now that Gervis was awake, she was satisfied, so she said something and ran out immediately without stopping.
After Caroline left, Gervis looked at Alice and found that his cheap wife's face had returned to its cold expression.
"Grevith, now that you are awake, take good care of your injuries. I will go take care of some government affairs first!"
Having said that, regardless of Gervis's opinion, Alice walked out of the room with graceful steps.
"You change your attitude faster than turning the pages of a book!"
From then on, Gervis was the only one left in the room, with only a faint woman's fragrance lingering.
"Master Rongguang! What should I do? Why do you want these nobles to practice monogamy?"
"This is the fantasy world of a noble lord after all. Shouldn't he embrace women openly and honestly?"
Gervis helplessly complained to the God of Glory.
Boom boom boom!
Just at this moment, there was another knock on Gervis' door.
"Come in!"
This time, the visitor did not knock on the door and come in on his own like Caroline did. In the end, it was Gervis who spoke and the door was opened.
"Father!"
When Gervis saw who was coming, he immediately shouted, it was his cheap father Gandalf.
"Little Gervis! You finally woke up! Don't try to be so stubborn next time!"
Gandalf was preaching, but the smile on his face was extremely bright. Now Gervase had become a well-known figure in the two duchies.
It is also because of Gervis’s powerful strength that the earls respect him as a little baron who is their father!
"I understand father. I won't take risks like this again!"
Gervis did not refute, but nodded in response.
"Just now I saw the Earl walk out of the room, looking unhappy. Did you make her angry?"
Gandalf came to Gervis' bed, moved a chair and sat down, then asked Gervis.
"No!"
Gervis didn't know how to explain the reason, so he simply shook his head and denied it.
"Gervis, the Earl is really good to you now. He has not left this room during the few days you were unconscious. He even stayed in this room when he slept."
Gervase didn't say anything and Gandalf didn't ask any more questions, but Gandalf had already determined that Alice had feelings for him this time, so he very much hoped that Gervase could seize this opportunity.
"During the days you were in a coma, the Earl took care of you personally, including washing you herself, without asking any servants to do it!"
Hearing this, Gervis was instantly moved.
This cheap wife of mine has done so much, and if Gandalf hadn't told me, I would have had no idea.
Gervis knew Alice's character best. She was the kind of person who didn't like to show off, so she would definitely not mention taking care of herself in the future.
At the same time, Gervis also discovered that there was a sofa next to the bed with a blanket on it. It was estimated that Alice slept on this sofa at night.
"Got it father! I'll personally thank Alice when the time comes!"
Now that he knew that Alice, the powerful Countess, was taking care of him personally, Gervis made up his mind that he must thank Alice in the future.
"Little Gervis, it's good that you know!"
This was the limit of what a rough man like Gandalf could do regarding matters of love between children, so he did not continue.
Gandalf paused, then changed the subject and said to Gervis: "Gervis, King Lawrence was seriously injured and died the day after you fell into a coma!"
"What, King Lawrence is dead!"
Gervis was shocked to hear the news.
He really didn't expect that a strong man like Lawrence would die so easily.
However, King Lawrence burned his vitality in the end and could not live for more than a few days. But Gervis did not expect that Lawrence would collapse so soon.
"Yes! And the funeral was held the day before yesterday! He was buried in the City of Glory!"
Gandalf also lamented that this southern expedition was the closest to taking over the Principality of Alban, but unfortunately it failed in the end due to the conspiracy of the church and suffered huge losses.
King Lawrence never fulfilled his decades-long wish until his death.
"Father, what about the throne of the Principality of Jean now?"
"According to King Lawrence's last will, we are now facing a powerful enemy and need a leader who is both capable and able to convince the people, so King Lawrence has passed the throne to you!"
"Moreover, the four earls of the principality, King Hayden and his two earls all agreed with King Lawrence's decision!"
"What? Pass the throne to me?"
