??The next day, in the palace, His Majesty the King received the heroes of these kingdoms.

??In order to commend the outstanding contributions of these warriors, the Palace Affairs Office ordered some medals according to the opinions of His Majesty the King, which can also be called the Shamrock Medal.

??The medal is mainly made of gold, with a clover engraved on the front, and two swords are engraved on the clover, crossed on the clover.

?? On the back, there is a flower print of a heroic knight. The horse raises its hooves, and the knight swings his sword. It looks very inspiring and extraordinary.

?? Clover is a plant that the Irish people love very much.

??Eighty percent of the entire Irish region is composed of pastures, and clover is one of the most common and high-quality pastures, and is very popular among Irish people.

?? Clover is called white clover, but the Irish have given it a beautiful name - Shemerlock.

??So, this medal is also called the Shemerok Medal.

??This medal has great political significance.

??It symbolizes the official annexation of Ireland by the United Kingdom and the achievement of expanding its territory.

??So, outside the palace, these heroes stood in a row, and the drummer beat the music, setting off a joyful atmosphere.

??The nobles and ministers of the kingdom stood on both sides as onlookers.

?? Under the eyes of everyone, His Majesty the King finally came out and showed his face.

??The nobles and ministers hurriedly bowed down to salute, and the band also played high-spirited and cheerful music at the right time.

??The king stands in the center with a faint smile on his face.

??Your Excellency the Prime Minister, wearing a wig, stood beside him respectfully, holding a paper book in his hand, glanced at the bottom, and then read aloud:

?? "Gentlemen and ladies, today, in recognition of the contributions made by the heroes of Ireland to the kingdom and the royal family, His Majesty Edward will personally award medals to these heroes as a commendation!"

?? "Papa papa—" Everyone applauded with interest, showing respect.

?? "Okay, now I invite His Majesty the King to speak!" The prime minister took a step away tactfully, highlighting His Majesty the King.

?? "The hero, the royal family will never forget, and neither will the government. The clover medal awarded today is to let everyone remember forever. There are still these heroes in the kingdom!"

?? After a short speech, there was another burst of applause.

??William Selsey glanced at Thomas Marne, who was a little dazed, and reminded softly: "Sir, it's your turn!"

?? "Okay!" Thomas immediately reacted, took a step forward, and saluted again in front of the king.

?? "En!" Edward nodded and glanced at the Prime Minister.

??William Selsey hastily opened the book and read aloud:

??"Thomas Mane, following the will of the Lord, obeying the arrangements of the royal family and the government, he is brave and good at fighting, quick thinking, and decisive. During his tenure as Governor of Ireland, he was loyal to the royal family, fully exerted his duties, and gradually conquered Ireland..."

??His Excellency the Prime Minister was reading, and Edward put the medal around his neck.

?? "Good job, my Governor!" His Majesty the King said with a smile.

?? "This is my duty, Your Majesty!" Thomas Mane lowered his head and said seriously.

??Seeing this, Edward smiled, and after the Prime Minister finished reading, he continued to the next one.

?? In this way, it took more than half an hour to finally distribute more than 60 medals.

??The presence of the king and the spectators of the nobles made this group of young heroes overjoyed, their heads held high, and they felt a little erratic.

?? At this time, everyone thought: Today is really a moment of honor

??At the moment of being awarded the medal, an urge to dedicate their lives to His Majesty the King suddenly surged in everyone's hearts, from the spine straight to the sky.

??His Majesty the King and the nobles left one after another, and these medal winners naturally also left.

??Sir John carefully looked at the medal in his hand, especially the exquisite patterns on its surface, and was overjoyed for a moment.

?? This represents his achievements, and it also represents the affirmation of his achievements, which is worth showing off.

??However, although he doesn't care about the material, the medals made of gold are much better than the silver medals before. No matter how bad it is, you can get more money when mortgaged.

?? "Hey! Sir! Sir!" Sir John Perot, who had devoted himself to the medal, noticed that someone was calling him.

??He couldn't help turning his head to see a tall, dark-faced man walking over, wearing high-end linen clothes, about the same age as himself, and seemed to have returned from Ireland.

?? Waiting a little closer, he took a closer look. It turned out to be the famous Lemire Watson of Ireland. During the colonization of Ireland, he was a generous and glorious grand stayer and a pioneer of Leinster Province.

??He also bears the nickname, the pioneer of Munster.

??Thinking so much in my heart, but John Perrott quickly greeted him, and his face was instantly filled with a smile.

?? "Oh! Mr. Sir, it's really hard to see you!" Lemire sighed softly, looking at the well-maintained Sir in front of him.

?? "Sorry, Mr. Lemire, I was thinking about something just now, and I didn't notice it. I'm sorry!" Sir John replied very politely.

?? "It doesn't matter, I came this time, and I just raised money to congratulate you!" Lemir smiled and said with an expression of indifference.

?? "Congratulations?" A trace of doubt appeared on Sir John's forehead, "My sir, is there something gratifying that happened to me?"

?? As he spoke, he turned his puzzled eyes to Lemiel in front of him.

"Sir, don't you know?" Lemire said deliberately in an exaggerated tone, "Next week, His Majesty the King will hold a knighthood awarding ceremony at the Palace of Westminster, and you are likely to be canonized as a baron. Congratulations you!"

?? "Oh! Nothing, nothing!" Modesty is an essential virtue for nobles, Sir John shook his head with a smile, and said:

?? "The specific situation has not yet come out, so how can it be counted?"

??After chatting for a while and sending a blessing, Sir John said goodbye to Lemire and boarded the carriage.

?? "Hmph! Who doesn't know that you are the illegitimate son of His Majesty Henry VII, and you still pretend to be in front of me. Judging by his appearance, the baron must have been obtained!"

??Looking at his receding back, Lemire turned and left, thinking in his heart, not paying attention to John Perrot's affectation.

??However, he felt envious and jealous of him getting the title of baron.

??A week later, at the Palace of Westminster, His Majesty the King and the nobles came one after another, together with some important ministers of the kingdom, the Palace of Westminster couldn't bear to pretend.

??This canonization ceremony is very grand, which is also exciting.

??On this day, two barons (John Perrot and Governor Thomas Mann), twelve hereditary knights, and dozens of lifetime jazz were born.

??These people have all obtained corresponding territories, but they are located in Ireland, so the nobles in London also call them Irish nobles.

??In the island of Ireland, the nobles have since been divided into two factions.
