Chapter 392 Earl of White Eagle

Grand Duke Buffett walked out of the room, and then asked Wang Duta Ling to call a few people to do some preparations.

Then Grand Duke Buffett came to his study, a very grand and large study.

After Grand Duke Buffett sat down, the first person to come up was the clerk who served in the hall.

"Hello, Your Excellency." The young clerk saluted Grand Duke Buffett.

"Did anything happen in the hall during my absence?" Grand Duke Buffett raised his head and asked.

"There was a small episode." The clerk told the story of Luther and Viscount Hauger in detail.

"Under this situation, this kid from the Pompeii family actually started a business." Grand Duke Buffett was a little surprised, but he calmed down again when he thought of Luther's resume.

This is a person who can toss and turn, and is considered capable by the king, and even his achievements will surpass his father, the Knight of the Earth, Sol Pompeii.

It was because of this guy that the king wanted to pay such generous conditions to recruit this father and son.

"Wait thirty minutes and invite them up." Grand Duke Buffett said.

"Yes." The young clerk responded, bowed to the Grand Duke, and then turned and left. Shortly after the clerk left, Grand Duke Buffett met with a very important person.

The president of the House of Nobles, an elderly marquis.

After a bit of wrangling with the marquis, Grand Duke Buffett got the appointment document he needed.

This is a very troublesome thing.

The House of Nobles is a traditional department that is in charge of the inheritance of titles, records the coats of arms of nobles, etc. The king wants to appoint a new real noble. The king's approval is not enough, and he needs to communicate with the House of Nobles.

If the new party is not rampant in the kingdom now, the kingdom is about to perish.

Even if the king agrees to enthronize the Pompeii family, the House of Nobles can block and delay, and this kind of thing may take three to five months.

Not to mention that the canonization of a noble with a real title requires a grand canonization ceremony, not just a commission document

Fortunately, the current situation allows everything to be simple.

After Grand Duke Buffett prepared everything, just 28 minutes had passed. After waiting for another two minutes, Luther and Old Sol came to the study under the guidance of the clerk.

"Your Excellency." Luther followed his father and bowed to the prime minister of the kingdom.

"Sit down." Grand Duke Buffett pointed to the two chairs placed in front of the desk and said. Old Sol sat on them. Luther was a little surprised, thinking, I didn't expect there would be a seat for me.

"I communicated with the king, and the king gave you two choices." Grand Duke Buffett took out three commission documents and placed them in front of Luther and Old Sol.

"This is a crossroads, please choose carefully." Buffett remembered the king's attention to Luther, and couldn't help but increase his tone.

"Choice?" Luther and Old Sol looked at each other, both puzzled. There are indeed two ways, either to confer the title, or to end the matter here.

Two choices, is this what they mean?

Old Sol looked at the three official documents, then frowned and handed the documents to Luther. Luther looked at them and his heart was moved.

"I didn't expect that His Majesty the King would attach so much importance to us father and son." Luther was both proud and thoughtful.

"And one of the commission documents also hides the king's purpose. He is indeed a shrewd man."

Among the three commission documents, one is to confer the title of Sol and Pompey as the king's vassal and hereditary earl, and the king's purpose is hidden in this document.

The other two commission documents, one is to confer the title of court earl to Luther, and the other is to confer the title of court marquis to the old man.

Throwing out two court titles at once, and they are earl and marquis.

I have to admit that the olive branch thrown by the king is indeed very tempting, which can be compared to the Chinese saying, respect the wise and humble.

This is indeed a crossroads for ordinary people, but for Luther and Pompey, there is only one way forward.

Just as Luther was about to speak, Grand Duke Buffett took out a box from the side and opened it. In a burst of light, a three-dimensional image of a woman appeared.

The woman looked to be in her early twenties, with a pretty appearance and a graceful figure. In particular, she exuded a noble aura, both beautiful and noble.

Luther was a little surprised and looked at Grand Duke Buffett in confusion.

"This is the great-granddaughter of His Majesty the King, the court Countess Lucy. If you can sign these two appointment documents, the Countess will become your daughter-in-law."

Grand Duke Buffett said to Old Sol with a very sincere attitude.

It is not easy for this old prime minister, who is shrewd and scheming, to show such an expression.

"Your Majesty, I value you and your son very much."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but our Pompeii family has lived in Orange for generations, and I'm afraid we can't adapt to the court life in the capital."

Old Sol didn't need to communicate with Luther, and said a polite refusal very directly, then pointed to the appointment document of the hereditary earl.

"That's a pity." Grand Duke Buffett showed a little regret and his attitude became much colder. Since the father and son have made a choice, it's a pity.

The relationship between the two sides will not be very good in the future.

Of course, all this is also based on the idea that Prussia still exists. If Prussia perishes, the relationship between the two sides will be exiles.

"What title does the Pompeii family want? Do you want to make any changes to the coat of arms?" Grand Duke Buffett asked.

"I hope to get the title of White Eagle. As for the coat of arms." Old Sol took out a white eagle coat of arms from his pocket and put it on the desk.

Grand Duke Buffett nodded, then wrote the four words "White Eagle Earl" on the appointment document, and then handed the pen to Old Sol.

Old Sol signed his name.

The contract officially took effect.

White Eagle coat of arms, the Pompeii family completely bid farewell to the identity of Baron Baron's vassal, and officially became the king's vassal, the White Eagle Earl.

There was originally a grand ceremony for the ennoblement.

But now everything is simple.

Grand Duke Buffett handed the document and coat of arms to the clerk and asked the clerk to file it in the House of Nobles. There were two copies of the document, one of which was given to Old Saul.

Under normal circumstances, this document will accompany a family forever.

"Your Excellency, I want to ask. His Majesty the King only granted us hereditary titles and designated the hereditary territory of the White Eagle coat of arms in Orange, but there is no exact location. I am confused."

Luther suddenly interrupted.

Old Saul's eyes flashed, and he also wanted to ask this question. Both father and son discovered the loopholes in this hereditary earl appointment document at the same time.

And guessed the king's purpose.

Grand Duke Buffett smiled slightly and took out a map from the drawer. The map showed Orange.

"The New Party has swept most of Orange, and the order of the nobles has collapsed. If the White Eagle has the strength, the territory of this province will all belong to the White Eagle."

Grand Duke Buffett patted the map and said these extremely tempting words.

Luther and Old Saul also understood that the king and the old prime minister wanted White Eagle, Libya, and Ferger to form a triangle, and to instigate the three to attack each other, consume the strength of the three, and maintain the chaos in Orange.

The king is indeed the king.

The prime minister is indeed the prime minister.

They are all shrewd and calculating.
