Chapter 486: You're My Queen, Lord Earl!
Seeing the nobles in the main hall bending down neatly and saluting, shouting Your Majesty, Gervais had a sense of inauthenticity as if he was in a different world.
"Am I really crowned king?"
This was something that Gervais hadn't thought about before, and likewise he didn't feel so strongly before his coronation.
Fortunately, Gervais had the experience of the lord master, and he recovered from a trance for a moment.
Gervais turned and sat down on the king's throne.
"Oh, this throne is not as easy to sit on as imagined, the throne is too wide to rely on the back of the chair!"
This was the first feeling that Gervais felt when he sat on the throne of the king, but he didn't have much time to complain at the moment, just muttered for a moment and then retracted his thoughts, looking at the large and small nobles below.
"His Majesty Lawrence's decision was sudden, and I didn't expect to be 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 that I will lead you to crush the Church's plot and reclaim our homeland! ”
As soon as he sat down, Gervais pronounced his coronation.
It didn't go into a long speech, but instead grasped the key points and went straight to the point.
Gervais knew what the nobles below were behind to support him on the throne.
After speaking, seeing that the nobles below did not make a sound, Gervais still remembered this matter in his heart, and immediately gestured to a servant below with his eyes.
The servant, carrying a tray as well, saluted respectfully as soon as he received Gervais's signal, and then walked out of the crowd towards the high platform.
The servant came to Gervais with the tray in his hand, for Gervais was seated on the throne at this time, and as a sign of respect, the servant knelt down in front of Gervais.
Then the servant raised the tray in his hand and placed it in front of Gervais.
There is also a beautiful crown on this tray, but the size of this crown is very small, and the whole body is mainly silver, which is the queen's crown.
Gervais didn't hesitate, he reached out and picked up the crown from the tray, and then looked at Alice, who was still standing aside.
When Alice noticed Gervais's gaze, her pretty face blushed a little, and finally walked to Gervais with a slight pursed red lips and half-knelt down.
If someone else becomes a queen, it must be on both knees to accept the king's coronation.
However, in addition to the title of queen, Alice is also the earl of the Duchy of Jean, so she only needs to kneel to accept the coronation at this time.
In fact, after Gervais knew about this, he wanted Alice not to even kneel down on one knee, but unfortunately, Alice, as the heir of the earl, was extremely interested in this aspect of etiquette and rejected Gervais's idea.
"From now on, you will be my queen! Count Alice! ”
Gervais placed the small and delicate crown on Alice's head, and then teased his cheap wife with inaudible words.
When Alice heard Gervais's words, she immediately stood up with a slight blush, looked at Gervais again, and then glanced at Gervais angrily at the proofreader who couldn't see it in the audience, and then sat down in the queen's seat next to Gervais.
……
Since then, Gervais's coronation has finally been completed, and from this moment on, he became the new king of the Duchy of Jean.
After the coronation was completed, the nobles in the main hall did not disperse, and one by one they went out of the crowd to swear allegiance to Gervais, even the Lord of the North.
At present, among the four remaining four counts of the Duchy of Jean, in addition to the Jones family, the Wynton family of the lord of the north, the remaining two are the Elvo family and the Stanley family.
These two earl families were all at the bottom of the original Eight Earls in the strength rankings, and this time they would rather fight to the death than surrender to the church, so they were fortunately saved.
Speaking of which, the Elvo family also has some overlap with Gervais, and it is Boris's family that lost the purple elf to Gervais in Winterfell.
Several earl families swore allegiance to Gervais, followed by some of the original king's immediate vassals and subordinates.
For example, the generals of the legion under the command of Sina, and when they have also sworn allegiance, today's coronation ceremony has come to an end.
Just as Gervais was about to let everyone disperse and go to the coronation banquet, Hayden, who had been silent, suddenly walked out of the crowd.
"King Gervais, I have something to say!"
Hayden stood under the high platform, saluted Gervais, and then said in a loud voice.
"Oh, King Hayden! If you have anything to say, you can just say it! ”
Gervais was a little strange, but seeing that Hayden didn't look like he wanted to mess with the coronation, he simply let him say it.
"King Gervais, I, Hayden Harold, want to join the Duchy of Jean and swear allegiance to you!"
Wow!
In an instant, the entire hall was boiling!
Hayden was ready to choose allegiance to Gervais, knowing that he was a king!
Hayden's words were unexpected by everyone, including Gervais.
"King Hayden! You are the king of the Duchy of Alban, why should you choose to pledge your allegiance to me! ”
Gervais asked curiously.
"Your Majesty Gervais, now that the Duchy of Albane has fallen under the iron heel of the Church, my title of king has actually died in name only!"
"And now that we want to defeat the Church, you are our strongest support, so I hope to assist you in smashing the Church's plot and avenge all the warriors who died in our Duchy of Alban!"
In fact, this is a decision that Hayden has thought about for a long time before making it.
Now that the Duchy of Alban has been destroyed, he is the king who lives in name only.
Now it is better to stay under the fence of the city of glory than to become your true own.
In that way, it will not be suspicious of the large and small nobles of the Duchy of Jean, and it will be able to truly integrate itself and the Duchy of Jean to deal with the church.
In addition to this, the most important thing is that the king of the Duchy of Jean is no longer Lawrence, but has become Gervais.
Gervais has no great enmity with the large and small aristocratic principalities of Alban, and Gervais himself is a peerless powerhouse who can compete with the Pope, and there is nothing wrong with him Hayden choosing to be loyal to Gervais.
What's more, if one day they really defeat the church and recover the entire continent, then will he Hayden still have a chance to restore the country?
Obviously, with a strong man of Gervais's strength, there is no possibility at all, which Hayden sees very clearly.
Therefore, instead of bowing down at that time, it is better to take advantage of Gervais's fledgling wings now and become his help early, and the rewards you can get in the future will definitely not be small.
Hayden's answer was decent, but Gervais had probably guessed Hayden's thoughts, and since that was the case, he certainly didn't have any reason to turn him away.
The two principalities now only have the Lord of the North and Hayden, the two Golden Peak Knights!
Therefore, Hayden is willing to be loyal to him, and Nagervais has the only two remaining golden peak knights in the principality, and both of them are more reliable, so his throne can be more secure.
At the same time, the integration of the Duchy of Jean and the Duchy of Albanne is a real elimination of the internal hidden dangers of the two principalities, and such a good thing as Gervais is definitely not to be missed.
"Excellent! Lord Hayden Harold, I accept your request! ”
Gervais immediately stood up with a smile and showed his respect for Hayden, the former king!
Subsequently, Hayden swore allegiance to Gervais in public.
In order to appease Hayden and his subordinates, Gervais canonized Hayden as the Earl of the Duchy of Jean on the spot, and canonized to Hayden a territory that betrayed the family of the Counts of the Duchy of Jean.
The fiefdoms of Avery and Nemio, Gervais was naturally reluctant to canonize Hayden, after all, these two families were originally the top Earl family of the Duchy of Jean, and they were two big pieces of fat.
As for whether this will wronged Hayden, as long as the church is really destroyed, will there be no land?
And Hayden heard that Gervais directly canonized a piece of the county to him, and he couldn't stop laughing on the spot, at least this is Gervais's sincerity to him, and it is also the foundation for the survival of the remnants of the Duchy of Alban.
A nobleman without a territory is worthless, and a lord with a territory, even if it is a poor country, can be passed down from generation to generation, and there is infinite hope.
