Chapter 76 Visiting the Sorcerer

Before leaving the Hobson family's estate, Ivan had already received the proof of his nobility—a barony iron scroll. It appeared as a simple iron token, with the nobles' oath engraved on the front and a blank back left to add a family crest and motto in the future.

He was currently only a Baron-in-training, as he had yet to gain the Aromatic Wheat Grand Duke's approval, which would likely require a year or two of observation to demonstrate his abilities in managing the territory.

In truth, as long as a mass rebellion among the people didn't occur, as long as he didn't commit great atrocities or die unexpectedly, there was a ninety-nine percent chance he would receive the Nobility Scroll issued by the Duke and become a hereditary baron, turning Mulberry Valley into permanent territory for the Marichadon family.
