The following day dawned bright and clear, with gentle sunshine that felt perfectly comfortable on the skin.
Today, Emperor Reinhardt Saint Lorenzo of the Empire of Glory will confer the title of Duke of the North Territory upon Vera St. Hilde at Phoenix Palace.
Furthermore, the Emperor will bestow the guardianship of the North Territory upon Colin Angler, in recognition of his exceptional contributions in combating the Trolls and suppressing the Northern Rebellion.
Of course, Colin knew that his appointment as Guardian of the North Territory was made possible by earning the trust of Queen Midela the previous night.
In this way, Colin would become the second most influential figure in the North Territory, empowered to control various Lords without invoking Vera's authority.
This move was perceived as necessary, as the Emperor was concerned about Vera's inclination towards the Church, prompted by the influence of God's technique.
