�Then we will resume the awards ceremony!�

Alberu had returned to his seat and the administrator peeked toward him before resuming the awards ceremony.

�We will share each person�s merits as well as their rewards! The merits and the recipient will be announced by me while his highness the crown prince will personally hand the reward to each individual.�

The administrator started to announce each recipient based on the weight of their merits.

�For their merits in the Battle at the Gorge of Death as the Roan Kingdom�s representatives. General members of the Mage Brigade, Kepai, Rabbit, Mewoo-�

People went up to the platform one by one and Alberu shook each of their hands as he handed them their rewards.

�Thank you.�
�Not at all! Your highness, I just did what I needed to do!�

Everybody responded energetically to Alberu who tightly grabbed their hands and thanked them and it was a satisfying sight for all to see. That satisfaction continued to rise as the ceremony continued.

Woooooooooooooooo-

Although the hall�s door was closed, they felt as if they could hear the cheering of the citizens from the distant plaza.

However, the nobles were nervous. Their hearts slowly started to beat faster and faster. The administrator started to speak at that moment.

For participating as the Roan Kingdom�s representatives in the Caro Kingdom�s naval battle, defeating the enemy�s berserk warriors and having the greatest impact in clearing the dead mana!�

It was finally starting. The new forces were starting to come out.

�The Dark Elf warriors with Tasha as their representative!�

The woman who reminded people of a black pearl headed toward the platform where the crown prince was standing. Alberu looked down at his Aunt Tasha from one of the steps. The two people smiled in a way that only the other would understand. Alberu started to speak.

�Tasha, the representative for the Dark Elves who will become one of the Roan Kingdom�s new strength. I bestow the title of Viscountess upon you.�
�Gasp.�

Some of the nobles gasped. This was the first title that was bestowed today.

�The crown prince is really trying to draw the Dark Elves into the Kingdom!�
�Did he not see what happened to the Mogoru Empire?�
�That vulgar race is a noble?!�

The nobles� complaints started to slowly appear on their faces. Alberu had a bitter smile on his face as he continued to speak to Tasha.

�However, this title is a nonhereditary title and no territory will be bestowed.�

A nonhereditary title. A Viscountess without any territory. The growing complaints on the nobles� faces slightly stalled. They then realized why the leaders of their respective factions were remaining quiet.
