However, let us not forget that this peace was built upon the sacrifices of countless knights and soldiers. Above all, we owe this achievement to the valor and wisdom of one man—our hero, Michael. His leadership in guiding the Lania-Elonia alliance to victory has made today's peace possible.
By the divine authority vested in me, I hereby honor his contributions by appointing Michael von Crassus as Grand Duke, granting him dominion over the northeastern frontier and the entirety of the Argo Mountain Range."
King Charles V's voice rang with solemnity as he turned to Michael.
"Michael von Crassus, as Grand Duke, you and your lineage shall bear the sacred duty of guarding Lania's borders for generations to come. Do you accept this charge?"
Michael, kneeling before the King, responded with a powerful voice that carried across the room.
"I accept, Your Majesty."
