Michael stepped forward, his face serious and resolute.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Though my understanding of such matters is limited, I firmly believe this territory is the most suitable for our family."
The king's smile widened in satisfaction. Raising his voice, he issued his decree with enthusiasm.
"Very well, then! Hear this, all present: I hereby elevate Baron Crassus to the rank of Viscount and proclaim the territory of Iron Valley as the Crassus Viscounty. Furthermore, the viscounty is granted a ten-year exemption from taxes, along with rights to spoils of war and the acquisition of serfs during times of conflict. To aid in the development of the land, I bestow upon them 50,000 gold coins. Lastly, I formally recognize Michael von Crassus as the lawful heir to the Viscountcy. This proclamation, under my command, Charles V, takes effect immediately."
