After Alijie's coronation ceremony, there was an investiture ceremony for the empire's meritorious ministers.
Alijie pressed her hands under the ceremonial stage and said majestically to the people in the audience:
"Next, I want to give heavy rewards to the heroes who defend our country! Thank them for their sacrifices for the country in the war of national restoration!"
"Tina Garcia." Alizee looked at Tina who was closest to her.
"Your Majesty the Queen!" Tina bowed and saluted.
"Tina, you were born into a civilian family. You relied on your hard work and outstanding talent to become the commander-in-chief of the empire at the age of only 17."
"Starting from Oran City, you led the imperial army to win dozens of battles, large and small, with almost no defeat! You have made great contributions to the great cause of restoring the country!"
"Now, in the name of Queen Plantagenet, I grant you the title of Duke, and the fiefdom is Pearl City and all the towns in Pearl City's jurisdiction!"
After speaking, she took out a badge made of fine gold from the space ring and put it on Tina's chest with her own hands.
Upon hearing the Queen's words, both the ministers and the common people present were shocked.
Before the war, Pearl City was the third largest city in the empire in terms of overall strength.
Now after the war, Forest City has been basically destroyed, and Plantagenet City's status has also seen an irresistible decline.
From the current point of view, there is no problem in saying that Pearl City is the city with the first comprehensive strength in the empire!
Such a city, I didn’t expect that Alijie would give it to Tina!
"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen!" Tina knelt down on one knee with her sword in hand, thanking the Queen for the reward.
In fact, Tina had told Alijie a few days ago that she wanted to resign from her job and travel around the world, and Alijie also respected her choice.
As for the fact that she gave Pearl City to Tina now, it was just a small way for Alijie to take Pearl City back to the royal family.
According to convention, a large city like Pearl City should be entrusted to those who have contributed to the war.
Now the reward is given to Tina. After Tina resigns, Pearl City will naturally belong to the royal family. In this way, her goal will be achieved.
"And you, nemesis." Alijie then looked at Su Yu and said softly:
"The contributions you have made to the empire can be said to be countless. In Kaixi Town, you saved my life and prevented me from falling into the hands of Lantilus;"
"In the decisive battle in Oran City, you summoned Lady Bernina and completely turned the tide of the battle;"
"In recent months, you and Tina have brought back a large amount of loot from the Western Continent to ease the empire's debt."
"I remember you once told me that you wanted to be the Minister of Foreign Trade of the Empire. Now I will fulfill your wish! Nemesis, I will give you the title of Duke and the position of Minister of Foreign Trade of the Empire!"
After saying that, she took out a badge made of pure white light attribute gemstones and put it on for Su Yu herself.
In fact, based on Su Yu's merits, it would be enough for Alijie to even directly give him Oran City as a fiefdom. Alijie had had such an idea before.
But considering that if Nemesis really becomes the lord of Oran City, Nemesis will definitely not be able to stay by her side for a long time.
Moreover, there will definitely be conflicts of interest between the royal family and local lords, which can easily lead to conflicts. She does not want to create a barrier with her nemesis because of this.
Besides, she intends to train her nemesis to be a prince and co-manage the country with him. There is no need for him to be the lord of Oran City.
Therefore, Alijie only gave Su Yu the position of Minister of Foreign Trade.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Su Yu accepted the Queen's reward with a smile.
"Ding, the main storyline [Plantagenet Empire (96-100)/100] has been completed."
"You have received rewards: title [Duke], position [Plantagenet Minister of Foreign Trade], accessory [Plantagenet Glory], 10 world reputation points, and 100,000 experience points."
"Ding, the main plot [Plantagenet Empire] has been successfully completed, thank you for your participation!"
At this moment, the main storyline with a golden frame on Su Yu's mission panel disappeared, never to be seen again.
Seeing the main storyline disappearing, Su Yu felt a sense of reluctance.
This main storyline gave him many benefits, including territory, strength, powerful equipment, and even the favor of Queen Alicia and Tina.
However, there is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever, and the main plot is finally completed.
However, it is also time for him to put aside the framework specified by the plot and do something he wants to do.
At the same time, he glanced at the medal given to him by the princess.

"Not bad jewelry!" Su Yu nodded.
But what exactly is the "self-destructing truck"-like attribute of "Characteristic 5"?
...
Alijie originally wanted to ask Su Yu something.
But seeing that his attention was not on her, Alicia looked at the others.
"Next is you, Roland." Elizee looked at the tower owner of the Silver Pine Spire not far away.
"Your Majesty the Queen!" Roland respectfully bowed to Elizee with a mage salute.
"Although you did some wrong things when you were in Forest City and helped the hateful conspirator [Xi Fan]. But considering the situation at the time and the fact that you made a lot of contributions to the empire in the decisive battle, the merits and demerits are balanced.
【Silver Pine Spire】maintains the status quo for the time being.”
In fact, in private, Elizee promised many benefits to Roland, such as letting his ancestor guide him on the correct path to reach the peak of the seventh level.
However, these contents were not suitable to be discussed in public, so she did not mention them.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Roland replied respectfully.
…
In the following time, Alijie presented awards to all the heroes present.
Due to the war, a large amount of land was idle and a large number of job vacancies were left vacant. In addition, Alijie now has control over a lot of resources, so basically every hero has received a satisfactory reward!
After the investiture ceremony, there was a month-long national celebration.
During this month, in addition to government departments being tight externally and tight internally, and actively responding to the military invasions of the two empires, ordinary people took to the streets to hold carnival parades.
Not only during the day, but also at night, bonfires are lit on the streets all night long, and people are everywhere celebrating.
Everyone celebrates that these painful war years are finally over, and the empire will surely move towards a new future under the leadership of the Queen!
