Cailina kept her head lowered as the Emperor granted her the title of Duchess Grandis. She was the youngest head of a House in all history of Imperial Nobles and one of those who ascended to their titles before marrying.
A rush of feelings flooded her as she took in the authority from the Emperor's words. She felt her body lighten as the inauguration come to a close.
She would have her father proud of her achievements and her ancestors blessing her with their guidance as she wisely protects the family name.
Her right hand raised as she met the Emperor's eyes. A brief pause surrounded her before speaking, with a heave of breath, she began her oath.
"By the Gods and Goddesses that created this lands, I, Cailina Yvonne Grandis."
The sound of her soft yet firm voice filled the atmosphere, "Be it known to all, present and future, that I have willingly sworn to my Emperor. Be true and faithful, and love all which he loves, and shun all which he shuns."
