Chapter 170: Fiery Coronation (5)
A few knights sheathed their swords, breaking the tense silence.
“…I will remain as an imperial knight in the new era,” declared the knight at the front.
This particular knight had witnessed Apollonia’s bravery when she rode the prionyx at Mount Bamel, an image that had left an indelible mark on his heart.
From the moment she had exposed Gaius’s rebellion, he had secretly pledged his loyalty to Apollonia.
Sheathing his sword, he raised the scabbard hanging from his waist, much like Eckhart had done a moment ago.
Other knights, observing him, followed suit.
“I will remain as an imperial knight.”
“I will serve the new monarch.”
In just a few minutes, nearly every member of the Imperial Order had united, casting their unwavering gaze upon Apollonia, alongside the lords who had gathered from various corners of the continent.
Cedric couldn’t help but feel a surge of admiration as he stood among the assembly, witnessing this pivotal moment.
