Chapter 607: Canonization Ceremony

Originally, the walls of Denglenburg were naturally not so high, and this was the city wall that William expanded with the royal palace in order to show the majesty of the royal family after the founding of the country.

After all, as the capital of a kingdom, of course, it must be tall and majestic enough to show the majesty of the royal family.

The group entered the castle in this way, and William himself came to meet them at the gate of the palace with his courtiers and vassals, and he returned just in time.

All the nobles had come to Denlenburg because of the end of the counterinsurgency, and he returned to the kingdom just in time to complete the canonization ceremony that should have taken place during the founding of the state.

William looked at Baron Nair, who had obviously become a little vicissitudes and senile, walked up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Long time no see!" ”

The two looked at each other like this, looking at their old friend, who had not seen each other for many years, and a sense of familiarity gradually emerged from the two of them.

William said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry Baron Nair, you won't blame me for leaving you where you were for seven whole years, right?" ”

Baron Nair smiled slightly and said, "What's so strange, where am I too late to be happy as a governor with the power of life and death, how can I blame you?" ”

Baron Nair's joke made both of them laugh, and then the nobles who knew Baron Nair well and had a good relationship with him embraced him.

He hammered his chest and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you have aged so fast after seven years, and you have so many wrinkles!" ”

Yes, after seven years, everyone is no longer the young person they used to be, the current Baron Nair is thirty-seven years old, and even William is thirty-four years old, and they have all changed from the beautiful young man of the year to the greasy old uncle now.

William welcomed Baron Nair into the castle, and the banquet for the nobles was about to begin, and now it was just in time that the return of Baron Nair made the banquet even more justified.

Attendants of aristocratic blood, as well as male and female servants selected from among the serfs, came and went to set utensils on the tables in the banquet hall.

Knives, forks and plates made of silver and tin, and all kinds of precious spices were placed on the table as if they didn't need money.

Meat, eggs, honey and sugar, vodka, ale, and wine, a variety of fine wines were on the table, and then a dozen cauldrons were brought up, and the smell of steaming broth was scented.

When all the nobles were in place, William and Wella sat on the throne together, raised their glasses and said to all the nobles present: "For our heroes, Baron Nair has paid in the past seven years, cheers!" ”

As he spoke, William drank all the wine in the room, and the nobles also stood up and raised their glasses to Baron Nair, and drank the wine in their glasses one after another.

Baron Nair also seems to have dealt with this scene very skillfully, after all, as the governor of the Principality of Mainek, he also has to communicate with the local nobles.

After this banquet, the guests and hosts were happy, but all the nobles were restrained, and they did not drink much, but only tasted it.

Because they knew that there would be a canonization ceremony in a while, they did not get drunk.

The feast lasted only three hours, and the clown and band all withdrew, and William symbolically said, "My vassals, have you eaten and drunk enough?" ”

Hearing William's question, the nobles' eyes suddenly lit up, and they finally heard what they wanted to hear today.

They said in unison, "We've all eaten and drunk!" ”

Their hearts were slightly excited, and everyone was curious about what kind of reward His Majesty would give themselves.

Of course, the new vassals are still very self-aware, and they know which of the old vassals who have been following William for a long time.

Soon, the banquet was cleaned up, and all of William's vassals gathered in the hall.

Now his vassals have almost a hundred people combined, and his vassals were originally more than these, but it was enough for William to force some nobles to rebel, and now they have all been destroyed.

His original vassals numbered about forty people, plus the nobles he recruited, as well as his blood nobles, adding up to less than a hundred.

Compared to the original Tskema Kingdom, it is much less, and even if William divides some territories this time, he can still control a quarter of the territory.

Everything was ready for the canonization, the Golden Spur and the Scepter were ready, and the nobles stood up and waited for the canonization.

William sat down in his chair and said leisurely, "I, the rightful ruler of the Kingdom of Lorik, the living saint, William the pagan conqueror. Wallace, today I am going to give the vassals who have been born and died for me a reward worthy of their merit and loyalty.

After saying this, William said, "Norwen. Viscount Gil stepped forward! ”

As the first vassal under William, Viscount Norwin is the most important in terms of strength and significance to William.

So he will be the first vassal to be canonized.

Norwin respectfully stepped forward, walked up to William, and got down on one knee.

William also got up from his chair, walked in front of Norwen, drew the ornate long sword he had been crowned with at his waist, and placed it on Norwen's shoulder.

He said, "Noven. Viscount Gil, you have made great achievements for me during your time as my vassal, and I must reward you! ”

"Now, I will canonize you with the castle of Serrael, and give you the two castles and twenty-three manors under its jurisdiction, and from now on you will have the title of Count of Serarel, and you can call yourself an earl!"

"But you must fulfill your obligations to me, taxes, military service, and judicial power, and every moment of the Holy Father's time in your realm will be loved and thanked!"

"Thank you for your canonization, my esteemed majesty, I will abide by your every hope, and remember all your teachings, my life is sacrificed only for you, and the direction of your sword is where my blood is spilled!"

After saying that, William nodded, slapped his long sword on the shoulder three times, and said, "Remember the oath you made today!" ”

Then he took the scepter out of the tray behind him and put it in Norwen's hands.

This scepter is a magnificent scepter made entirely of pure gold and topped with a variety of gemstones, agate, symbolizing the birth of William's first earl.

Later, the Archbishop of the Diocese of the Kingdom of Lorik, Birins, walked up to Norwen with an olive branch, dipped it in holy water, and then raised it on Noven's head and began to pray for him.

After the canonization, Norwin returned to his place, changed into a fine dress prepared for him by his attendants, and watched the ceremony.

William took the long sword and said, "Urimu. Zalhan stepped forward! ”
