Then Mr. Buffett came to his study, a very grand and large study.

After Mr. Buffett sat down, the first person to come up was the clerk who was serving in the hall.

"Hello, Your Excellency." The young clerk saluted to Grand Duke Buffett.

"Did anything happen in the hall while I was away?" asked Mr. Buffett, looking up.

"There was a small incident." The clerk told the whole story of Luther and Viscount Hauge.

"Under such circumstances, this kid from the Pompeii family actually started a business." Grand Duke Buffett was a little surprised, but when he thought of Luther's resume, he calmed down again.

This is a person who is capable and is considered by the king to be capable, and his achievements may even surpass those of his father, the Earth Knight, Sol Pompeii.

It was because of this guy that the king wanted to offer such generous conditions to recruit this father and son.

"Wait thirty minutes and invite them up," said Mr. Buffett.

"Yes." The young clerk responded, bowed to the Grand Duke, and then turned and left. Not long after the clerk left, Grand Duke Buffett met with a very important person.

The president of the House of Lords, an elderly marquis.

After some wrangling with the Marquis, Buffett got the appointment document he needed.

This is a very troublesome thing.

The House of Lords is a traditional department that is in charge of the inheritance of titles, recording the nobles' coat of arms, etc. When the king wants to appoint a new noble, it is not enough for the king to make the final decision, but he also needs to communicate with the House of Lords.

If it weren't for the New Party wreaking havoc in the kingdom, the kingdom would be on the verge of destruction.

Even if the king agrees to enthronize the Pompey family, the House of Lords can still block and delay it, and such matters may take three to five months.

Not to mention that conferring a real title on a noble requires a grand ceremony, not just a commission document.

Fortunately, the current situation allows everything to be simple.

Twenty-eight minutes had passed since Grand Duke Buffett had prepared everything. After waiting for another two minutes, Luther and Old Saul came to the study under the guidance of the clerk.

"Your Excellency the Archduke." Luther followed behind his father and bowed to the chancellor of the kingdom.

"Sit down." Grand Duke Buffett pointed to the two chairs in front of the desk and said. Old Saul sat down upon hearing that. Luther was a little surprised and thought, I didn't expect there was a seat for me.

"I have communicated with the king, and he has given you two choices." Grand Duke Buffett took out three commission documents and placed them in front of Luther and Old Saul.

"This is a crossroads. Please choose carefully." Buffett remembered the king's emphasis on Luther and emphasized his tone.

"Choice?" Luther and Old Saul looked at each other, both confused. There were indeed two options: either be granted a title, or the matter would end here.

Two choices, is this what you mean?

Old Saul looked at the three-point document, then frowned and handed it to Luther. Luther looked at it and his heart was moved.

"I didn't expect that His Majesty the King attaches so much importance to my son and me." Luther felt both proud and thoughtful.

"And one of the official documents of appointment also hides the king's purpose. He is indeed a shrewd man."

Among these three commission documents, one is to appoint Sol Pompey as the king's vassal and hereditary earl. The king's purpose is hidden in this document.

The other two documents of appointment, one appointed Luther as Count of the Court, and the other appointed Lao Suo as Marquis of the Court.

He gave out two court titles at once, namely, Earl and Marquis.

I have to admit that the olive branch thrown by the king is indeed very tempting, comparable to the Chinese saying, "respect the wise and humble yourself."

This is indeed a crossroads for ordinary people, but for Luther and Pompey father and son, there is only one way ahead.

Just as Luther was about to speak, Grand Duke Buffett took out a box from the side, opened the box, and in a flash of light, a three-dimensional image of a woman appeared.

Luther was a little surprised and looked at Grand Duke Buffett in confusion.

"This is the great-granddaughter of His Majesty the King, Countess Lucy of the Palace. If you can sign these two commission documents, the Countess will become your daughter-in-law."

Mr. Buffett said to Old Saul with a very sincere attitude.

It is not easy for this old prime minister, who is so shrewd and scheming, to show such an expression.

"Your Majesty, the King values ​​you and your son very much."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. However, our Pompeii family has lived in Orange for generations, and I'm afraid we are not used to the life in the royal palace."

Old Sol had no need to communicate with Luther. He simply declined and pointed to the appointment document of the hereditary earl.

"That's such a pity." Mr. Buffett showed a little regret and his attitude became much colder. Since the father and son have made their choice, it is a pity.

The relationship between the two sides will not be very good in the future.

Of course, all this is based on the assumption that Prussia still exists. If Prussia perishes, the relationship between the two sides will be that of exiles.

"What title does the Pompeii family want? Are there any changes to the coat of arms?" asked Grand Duke Buffett.

"I hope to obtain the title of White Eagle. As for the emblem." Old Thor took out a White Eagle emblem from his pocket and placed it on the desk.

Grand Duke Buffett nodded, then wrote the words "Earl White Eagle" on the appointment document, and then handed the pen to Old Saul.

Old Sol signed his name.

The contract officially came into effect.

White Eagle Emblem, the Pompey family completely bid farewell to the identity of Baron Baron's vassal, and officially became the king's vassal, Earl of White Eagle.

There was originally a grand ceremony to confer the title.

But now everything is simple.

Grand Duke Buffett handed the document and the coat of arms to the clerk and asked him to file it in the House of Lords. There were two copies of the document, one of which was given to Old Sol.

Under normal circumstances, this document will always accompany a family.

"Your Excellency, I would like to ask you something. His Majesty the King only granted us the hereditary title and designated the hereditary territory of the White Eagle emblem in Orange, but he did not specify the exact location. I am confused."

Luther suddenly interrupted.

Old Thor's eyes flashed, and he also wanted to ask this question. Both father and son discovered the loophole in the hereditary earl appointment document at the same time.

And guessed the king's purpose.

Grand Duke Buffett smiled and took out a map from the drawer. The map showed Orange.

"The New Party has swept across most of Orange, and the order of the nobles has collapsed. If White Eagle had the strength, the entire province would belong to him."

Mr. Buffett slapped 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 Ferger to form a triangle and instigate the three to attack each other in order to consume their strength and maintain chaos in Orange.

The king is indeed the king.

The prime minister is indeed the prime minister.

They are all shrewd and calculating.
