In Oduin Hall, Crown Prince Garrett stood before the throne. It would be improper for him to sit upon it before completing the formal succession ceremony in the presence of the many nobles.
Several rows of people stood below him.
One row consisted of the Ministers of the Kingdom that Bruno had promoted, including Minister of State Affairs Arsenno, Minister of Justice Texas, as well as the Minister of Finance, Minister of Commerce, and the Intelligence Consultant, among others.
In another row stood the Knights who followed Garrett. Besides his old subordinates like Matt and Laoshan, the surrendered enemy nobles Count Ural and Earl Alons were also prominently in their ranks. At the head of this group stood an alluring woman.
In addition, there were Duke Ference, Duke Andrea, and a host of other nobles, both great and small.
At this moment, many in the hall wore solemn and grave expressions.
