The next day, the sun rose as usual, and the capital was the same as usual. It seemed that nothing had changed, but it seemed that it had changed.
All the respectable nobles in the royal capital were dressed neatly and heading towards the palace. They checked their appearance repeatedly before entering, and only dared to enter after making sure nothing went wrong.
No one expected that things would progress so quickly. They just attended the ceremony yesterday and will attend the new king's enthronement ceremony again today.
In the palace, it was already filled with nobles of all sizes in the royal capital. However, those who were attentive would find that some of the big nobles in the past were not present at this moment. Instead, they were replaced by younger members of the family, or those who did not deal with them.
Some nobles with small power were not even seen.
This couldn't help but make the nobles present have associations, but they quickly stopped their thoughts, and it was better to be confused about some things.
Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing, just like a pig will not be happy if he knows that he will be killed during the New Year.
Behind the palace throne, Irene looked at Claire with his beautiful eyes, and Claire was concentrating on arranging Irene's clothes. It has to be said that King's clothes are really a bit cumbersome.
Claire said while starting to tidy up, "Don't worry, the nobles who participated in the assassination of you yesterday have been taken down. The decent ones have already been dignified, and the dishonored ones have been helped by us to make them dignified."
"Now there are no nobles in the capital who disobey you. You can do whatever you want after you take the throne."
"Also, if you encounter something you don't know how to do, you can refer to the opinions of Lady Sophia and others, but you don't need to refer to them all. As King, you must have your own thinking and believe that your own decision is the most correct."
"There are also things about the church. After taking power, you can rely on the evidence I gave you to suppress them. Although it is impossible to remove them from our kingdom, suppressing them for nearly a hundred years should not be a problem."
"If you don't know how to do it, you can leave it to Sophia, but you can't be lazy and learn their methods."
"Finally, I will give you a piece of advice. I know you are kind at heart, but King cannot maintain the entire kingdom by relying on kindness. Only necessary violence can protect the interests of the vast majority of people."
Listening to Claire's chanting, Irene didn't know if he was listening, but he kept staring at Claire.
After finishing, Claire showed a smile, and finally patted Irene on the shoulder as if blowing away dust.
"Okay, go up, Master Queen!"
"Yes!" Irene nodded vigorously and walked towards the throne on the stage.
As he stepped onto the stairs, he suddenly stopped and looked back.
"What's wrong?" Claire asked with a smile.
Irene looked at Claire and shook his head with a smile, "It's okay, look at you."
After saying that, Irene turned around, the expression on his face instantly turned grim, and stepped onto the stage step by step, then walked to the throne and sat down firmly.
He glanced at the nobles in the audience. Somehow, those nobles were so stared at by Irene that they couldn't help but lower their heads.
"The new king has ascended the throne!" Joseph held a crown that was customized overnight and slowly walked onto the stage with his head lowered.
Then he walked up to Irene with a respectful look, handed over the crown in his hand, and finally slowly placed it on Irene's head.
After the action ended, Joseph stepped aside and knelt down on one knee.
The nobles below also knelt down on one knee and shouted to Irene on the stage, "Your Majesty Irene! We are willing to follow you forever!"
"The canonization ceremony officially begins."
"August Family, Count Sophia has done great service in protecting His Majesty, and has awarded Duke Bauhinia the title..."
"Guen Family, Count Yana has meritorious service in protecting His Majesty, and is awarded..."
"..."
Almost all those who were recruited into the entrepreneurial team by Claire were awarded the title of duke. Even Shane was awarded the title of earl. His status suddenly stood out from those aristocratic children and became a powerful aristocrat. If nothing unexpected happens, then the next parent of the Ansier Family is definitely Shane.
Finally, although Joseph had not called out Claire's name, everyone's eyes also fell on Claire in the audience.
Any noble who has some information knows that this person is the biggest contributor to Irene's rise to power.
"Griffin Barony, Viscount Claire..."
Hearing Joseph call his name, Claire also walked to the stage with a smile on his face. Irene, who was originally on the throne with a stern face, also had a smile on his lips when he saw Claire coming up.
"The title of Viscount Claire Duke Tulip is granted, the hereditary title of Count Griffin, Griffin Barony is automatically promoted to Griffin County!"
"At the same time, the positions of Earl Claire and Kingdom Administrator were awarded..."
After Claire heard this, the corners of his eyes slightly curved. Well, this is what he has always wanted, an official position with power and leisure. The consul is directly managed by King. Based on his relationship with Irene, he can stay in Nafu City and not work. As for the duties you manage, just let the people below do it.
After Joseph finished reading, he couldn't help but have a look of envy in his eyes. He had been working for most of his life and made no mistakes step by step before he reached the position of Grand Judge today. Unexpectedly, Claire was only seventeen years old and already exceeded everything he had.
However, it is natural for the other party to get this. No one can do this better than Claire.
Just when Claire was about to respond, Irene on the throne suddenly stood up and said, "Too few, let's have another one, and allow Duke Tulip to establish a principality in his own territory!"
As soon as Irene said this, everyone below was shocked. Even Claire looked at Irene in surprise after hearing this. This other party had not discussed it with him.
Irene looked at Claire, smiled and rolled his eyes, as if to say: Didn't you just tell me that I can do whatever I want when I get on stage?
A principality is different from an ordinary lord. It has much greater autonomy. It can even formulate its own laws in its own territory. All taxes no longer need to be divided and handed over to the kingdom. In short, it is equivalent to a small country in the kingdom. It is only in name that the duke of the principality needs to be loyal to the kingdom's King.
So far, there are only five principalities in the entire kingdom, such as Prince Albert, who is both the prince and the duke of Laoma Duchy. The power to establish the principality was granted to his brother by Norris when he came to power. Hill City is also the capital of the Hill Principality established by Duke Roy, one of Six Archmages. But he didn't care much and only collected the money. Hill City was still controlled by King.
A principality can be granted, and naturally it can be withdrawn, such as Laoma Duchy from Prince Albert. If Irene grows up in the future, he may take away the power to establish a principality from Prince Albert, who has little ability, wrong position, and nothing except a little blood relationship.
Not convinced? If you don't accept it, let's have a fight and see if your principality can survive the bombardment of Six Archmages, the five sword masters, and the two magic saints.
