Having said this, Carl certainly understands what Jonathan means.

This was a small accident that made him publicly express his engagement to the Queen. Everything in the empire was decided by the Queen. Carl himself was just a minister who was willing to be completely loyal to the Queen.

In this way, it doesn't matter whether the Queen breaks off the engagement or not. He is just the Queen's minister, not the fiancé who is engaged to the Queen.

For the Queen, it will be much better in terms of face. The marriage was also decided by the late Queen, and the Queen would not directly regret it out of filial piety.

With so much reluctance, unwillingness, and humiliation in his heart, Carl also knew that he had to do what Jonathan Earl said. Earl could tell him this out of good intentions and protection.

"I understand, thank you Lord Earl. I will find a good time to express my attitude to everyone. Carl Hornsoth is just an ordinary Knight who is loyal to the Queen."

Lowering his head slightly, Carl said to Jonathan.

"Well, that's right. After the empire is established, everything is ready for improvement. Young people like you are needed in many places."

This statement is also a hint, which means that Carl will be given a good position.

At this time, a brisk music sounded in the hall, and everyone stopped talking and stepped aside to make way for a wide path in the hall.

The music became solemn and majestic. First, two Knight wearing ceremonial armor walked into the main entrance of the hall and read loudly, "Queen of the Altians and Crolanders, the ruler of the endless steppe, the great khan of all highlanders, the conqueror of Oakley, the co-owner of all human kingdoms, Chloe Norman Love has arrived."

As soon as Knight finished speaking, Chloe, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked into the hall, her blue eyes scanning the interior of the hall.

Everyone bowed their heads humbly and saluted Her Majesty the Queen. At this time, Chloe was so beautiful that Carl was stunned. After the person next to him pulled him, he realized what he was doing and lowered his head in panic.

Chloe doesn't care much about such trivial matters. She wears Altia Empire's crown on her head, holds the sword of the Republic of Croland in her left hand, and the eagle scepter of the Highlanders in her right hand.

The off-the-shoulder dress she was wearing was the most precious piece in the Oakley empire's treasury. Each strand of down on it was worth enough to live in an ordinary family for a month. The long skirt was decorated with various shining gems, ranging from as big as an egg to as small as a thumb.

Of the expenses for organizing the celebration, a considerable amount of the budget was spent on this dress. Four beautiful maids helped Chloe hold up the long skirt. Each of the maids was beautiful, stunning, and unique in their own way.

Because they all come from the four kingdoms, representing the Altians, Crolanders, Highlanders, and Oakleys. There are also wealthy nobles and wealthy families present, and they have never seen such a scene.

It is very difficult for the music to match the pace of Chloe, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and still be solemn and melodious.

Chloe is also the first time to claim the throne. Many etiquette rules were copied by scholars from ancient books overnight. She obviously can't follow the rules well, but she is the queen, so the music can only match her pace, not her performance.

Finally, thanks to the unremitting efforts of these music masters, Chloe stepped on the luxurious velvet carpet and sat on the highest throne. The maids on all sides held their long skirts respectfully and knelt under the throne.

After the music reached its climax, it gradually slowed down and the hall gradually became quiet. The sound of an insect crawling with its arthropods and its carapace rapidly rubbing suddenly appeared, which could be clearly heard by everyone.

Two Roach walked into the hall on the carpet. Their ugly and terrifying appearance was the first time for most people to see it. Some timid ladies and ladies screamed out in fright, while their companions quickly covered their mouths.

Chloe has always found it strange, are Roach so scary? They are actually quite cute and considerate. Not only can they understand her own mood, but they will also make her laugh.

At this ceremony, according to the etiquette, the Pope should put the crown of the Four Kingdoms on Chloe, but Chloe rejected it despite all the opinions.

The illusory god is not qualified to crown her. Her crown comes from the gifts of Swarm and Overmind, so the matter of wearing the crown is left to the two Roach.

The church also knew about it in advance. Originally, they were unwilling to do so, and many people planned to commit martyrdom.

Cam played a key role here again. He brought several of the church's most opposed bishops, including the Pope, into Swarm Network, allowing them to use their own spirits to face the greatness of Swarm.

Afterwards, except for one or two bishops whose faith collapsed and went crazy, everyone else surrendered. After they were kicked off the Internet, a strange phenomenon occurred. The church began to actively modify the doctrine. They tried to worship the abstract consciousness of Swarm Network as a god.

When Roach came to the Pope to get the crown, the Pope did not show any dissatisfaction or displeasure. Judging from his expression, he really felt that this was the way it should be, and it was natural.

The two Roach got the crown and quickly used their short legs to walk to the throne of Chloe. This time, Chloe did not sit arrogantly, but stepped down from the throne, knelt down and lowered his head.

The two Roachs, who didn't understand any etiquette at all, in front of everyone, used pliers to take off the smaller crown from Chloe's head and handed it to the Altean maid on the side. The other used a pair of pliers to put the gorgeous big crown on Chloe's head.

At this point, the most important process of the coronation ceremony was completed. The two Roach felt nothing. They only felt that they had completed the node's order. After finishing, they made a sound like an insect grinding its teeth.

Chloe, who has become accustomed to Swarm, understands that this means happiness, and the humans around him will feel fear and fear when they hear such a sound.

In the past, Chloe might have cared about the emotions of the various tribes on Tabby, but now that she has achieved her goal, she doesn't care much anymore.

She has already regarded herself as Swarm Node emotionally. It is difficult to empathize with ordinary Tabi Star Humans. Even a small network has a great impact on her.

After waving his hands, the two Roach were praised. They picked up the huge roast suckling pig on the dining table and ran out. For Swarm, Consume and killing were both happy things.

After seeing Roach leave, everyone in the petrochemical industry slowly returned to normal, and the celebration was as it should be.

As the emcee said "Chloe Long live Her Majesty the Queen!", a tsunami-like roar of long live was shouted from everyone's mouth, and the heated atmosphere seemed to overturn the roof.
