The ennoblement of a new baron was a major event that had not occurred in the Shadowflame Duchy for decades, and the ceremony was naturally grandiose and complex.
However, due to the absence of the Grand Duke, the Council of Elders is currently in power.
Therefore, the ennoblement ceremony of the Duchy's sixth baron, Baron Thunderflame, will be simplified, omitting many unnecessary steps.
After the new Grand Duke ascends, the omitted parts of the ceremony will be made up.
The date was set for March 20th.
The site of the ennoblement ceremony was decided to be the administrative hall of Red Castle, presided over by Regent Lady Anxia Sunfire. All Russell needed to do was swear loyalty to the statue of Quentin Shadowflame, the founder of the Shadowflame Duchy.
While steps could be skipped, the scene could not be omitted.
The baron ennoblement ceremony required the attendance of two earls of the Shadowflame Duchy, five barons, and over three hundred lords of the duchy.
