Following Queen Alise's coronation, a ceremony to honour the Empire's meritorious officials was held immediately.
Queen Alise raised her hand to quiet the audience below the ceremony stage and then spoke with an authoritative voice.
"Next, I will reward the heroes who have defended our country! I thank them for their sacrifices during the war of restoration!"
"Tina Garcia." Queen Alise turned to Tina, who was standing closest to her.
"Your Majesty!" Tina bowed in salute.
"Tina, you were born into a commoner's family and through your hard work and exceptional talents, you became the Empire's General at just 18."
"Starting from Orleans City, you led our forces to victory in dozens of large and small battles, with hardly any losses! You made a significant contribution to our cause of restoration!"
"Now, I grant you the rank of a Duke, in the name of the Goldfinch Queen, along with the land of Pearl City and all the towns within its jurisdiction!"
