"I also decided to be loyal to you," said a minister sitting beside Lord Baden and the man sitting beside him also conveyed the same thing followed by the man sitting at the table to the right of Nicholas. After a while, all the higher-ups had stated their decision and all chose to remain loyal to the king.
"Thank you." Nicholas smiled and turned to look at the other meeting participants. He was relieved to hear the majority of the people were supportive of his situation. It helped a lot that he had communicated this issue with his own relatives.
Most of them were quite powerful and took on leadership roles in this kingdom as well. So, their open support would make other noble families sway to Nicholas' side.
