Anthony looked down at the kneeling Shirley, and the uprightly standing Basil. He creased his eyebrows. He couldn't believe these two youngsters had just refused a Viscount title.
Although they would still remain a Noble even without it, they would have no territory to rule over. By then, their status would be no different from a Baronet. They would need to climb up once again to reach the height they had gotten down from.
That was ignorantly ridiculous.
"What a burning spirit the two of you have showed. Very well, I will grant your wish. Your parent's former territory will be hand over to another Viscount. However, you can keep the belongings and the wealth your parents had accumulated."
Anthony motioned Shirley to get up, before continuing, "I will remind you once again, you can't reclaim your parent's former territory that you have refused."
"Yes, your majesty."
"Hm. From today onwards, both of you would bear the same status as a Baronet!"
