Before they came to the Red Maple Kingdom, they didn't know that the first Pope of the Dragon God Temple was called Lance.
As they entered the Holy Blue Province and approached Saint Blue City, along the way they heard much about "Baron Sir." At that time, they were somewhat curious. How could a mere "Baron Sir" ... allow a province ... to be named after his domain?
The Lord of Saint Blue was clearly a Count, so why did the people of the Holy Blue Province talk most about "Baron Sir"?
It wasn't until they arrived in Saint Blue City that they understood. It turned out "Baron Sir" was the "Count Sir," and the people of the Holy Blue Province called the Count Sir "Baron Sir" because they felt this title was more endearing for him.
It was a bit odd; normally, the subjects of a domain would address their lord either as "My Lord" or by their name followed by "Sir."
