After about half a month, Yilin left. Before leaving, she held a formal baron ceremony for Erwin on behalf of Gray, authorized by Richie and Shelley. She also authorized Erwin to manage Kapu, enjoying the right to dispose of all taxes except for those that should be borne as part of the Beishier Duchy.
This means that Erwin essentially became the lord of Kapu. Although he was a minor lord, he still did not directly pledge allegiance to Yilin.
It must be admitted that Yilin has given Erwin and the Silver Moon Knight Fifth Squad the greatest respect possible, as such an event had almost never happened before.
Many people participated in the ceremony, and cheers erupted sporadically. Kapu hadn't been so lively in many years.
Years ago, when the news of Gray's victory at the Battle of Salted Fish Port came, it was a distant matter for them. But now, the Silver Moon Knight Order had arrived at their side.
