Grand Duke Buffett walked out of the room, and then asked the Royal Capital Taling to call a few people and make some preparations.
Then 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 Mr. Clerk who was serving in the hall.
"Hello, Your Majesty the Grand Duke." The young secretary saluted the Grand Duke Buffett.
"Did anything happen in the hall while I was away?" Archduke Buffett raised his head and asked.
"There was an episode." The clerk told the story of Luther and Viscount Hauger exactly as they were.
"Under such circumstances, this boy from the Pompeii family actually started a business." Archduke Buffett was a little surprised, but he calmed down again after thinking of Luther's resume.
This is a being who can do anything, and is considered by the king to be capable and even more accomplished than his father, the Knight of the Earth, Saul Pompeii.
It was precisely because of this guy that the king wanted to pay such generous terms 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, then turned and left. Shortly after the clerk left, Grand Duke Buffett met with very important people.
The president of the House of Lords, an elderly marquis.
After some wrangling with the Marquis, Archduke Buffett obtained what he needed, the official appointment document.
This is a very troublesome thing.
The House of Nobles is a traditional department in charge of the inheritance of titles, recording the coats of arms of nobles, etc. The king wants to appoint a new real noble, but the king's decision is not enough, and he still needs to communicate with the House of Nobles.
If the new party hadn't been raging in the kingdom now, the kingdom would have been destroyed.
Even if the king agrees to canonize the Pompeii family, the House of Lords can block and delay it. This kind of thing may take three to five months.
Not to mention the canonization of a local noble, which requires a grand canonization ceremony, not just an official document of appointment.
Fortunately, the current situation allows everything to be simplified.
After Duke Buffett had prepared everything, twenty-eight minutes had just passed. After waiting for another two minutes, Luther and Old Saul came to the study under the leadership of the secretary.
"Your Excellency the Grand Duke." Luther followed his father and bowed to the prime minister of the kingdom.
"Sit down." Archduke Buffett pointed to the two chairs placed in front of the desk and said. Old Sol sat on them after hearing this. Luther was a little surprised and thought, he didn't expect there was a seat for me.
"I communicated with the king, and the king gave you two choices." Archduke Buffett took out three official letters of appointment and placed them in front of Luther and Old Saul.
"This is a crossroads, please choose carefully." Buffett recalled the importance the king attached to Luther and couldn't help but heaved a heavy sigh.
"Choice?" Luther and Old Sol looked at each other, both confused. There were indeed two ways, either to become a knight or to end the matter here.
Two choices, is this what it means?
Old Sol looked at the three-point document, then frowned and handed the document to Luther. Luther looked at it and his heart moved.
"I didn't expect that His Majesty the King would pay so much attention to our father and son." Luther felt both proud and thoughtful.
"And one of the official appointment documents also hides the king's purpose. It is indeed very sophisticated."
Among these three official documents of appointment, one was to confer Saul and Pompeii as vassals of the king and hereditary count. The king's purpose was hidden in this official document.
The other two letters of appointment were to confer Luther the title of court earl, and the second to confer the title of court marquis to the old man.
Two palace titles were thrown out at once, and they were earl and marquis.
I have to admit that the olive branch extended by the king is indeed very tempting, comparable to the Chinese saying, "Li Xian Corporal".
For ordinary people, this is indeed a crossroads, but for Luther, Pompey and his sons, there is only one road ahead.
Just when Luther was about to speak, Archduke Buffett took out a box from the side, opened the box, and in a burst of light, a three-dimensional image of a woman appeared.
This woman is in her early twenties. She has a pretty appearance and graceful figure. Especially, she has an aura of nobility, which is both beautiful and noble.
Luther was a little surprised and looked at Archduke Buffett in confusion.
"This is His Majesty the King's great-granddaughter, the Countess Lucy. If you can sign these two letters of appointment, 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 wise and wise old prime minister to show such an expression.
"His Majesty the King values your father and son very much."
"Thank you for your kindness, His Majesty the King. However, our Pompeii family has lived in Orange for generations, and I am afraid we are not used to the palace life in the royal capital."
There was no need for Old Saul to communicate with Luther, so he declined in a straightforward manner, and then pointed to the official appointment document of the hereditary earl.
"That's such 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 is a pity.
The relationship between the two parties will not be very good in the future.
Of course, all this is also based on the idea that Prussia still exists. If Prussia dies, the relationship between the two parties will be that of exiles.
"What title does the Pompeii family want? Are there any changes to the coat of arms?" Archduke Buffett asked.
"I hope to obtain 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 placed it on the desk.
Grand Duke Buffett nodded, then wrote the words "Count White Eagle" on the official appointment document, and then handed the pen to Old Sol.
Old Sol signed his name.
The contract officially comes into effect.
With the coat of arms of the White Eagle, the Pompeii family completely bid farewell to their status as vassals of Baron Barton and officially became the king's vassals, the Earl of White Eagle.
There was originally a grand investiture ceremony.
But now everything is simpler.
Grand Duke Buffett handed the official document and coat of arms to the clerk, and asked the clerk to go to the House of Lords to archive it. There were two copies of the official document, one of which was given to Old Sol.
Under normal circumstances, this official document will accompany a family forever.
"Your Majesty the Grand Duke, I would like to ask. His Majesty the King only granted us a hereditary title and specified that the hereditary territory of the White Eagle Coat of Arms is in Orange, but there is no exact place. I am very confused."
Luther suddenly interrupted.
Old Sol's eyes flashed, he also wanted to raise this question. Both father and son discovered the loopholes in the 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 clearly showed Orange.
"The new party has swept through most of Orange, and the order of the nobility has collapsed. If White Eagle has strength, all the territory in this province will belong to White Eagle."
Grand Duke Buffett took a picture of 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 Felger to form a triangle and instigate the three families to attack each other, consume the strength of the three families, and maintain the chaos in Orange.
