There was a small hall in the mansion. It wasn't big, but it was enough for a ceremony. Considering he was a high-ranking noble, it was necessary for him to have one, especially for giving out a rank.
Noel took the only seat in the hall. There were six witnesses. To be credible, they had to be the Ardagan family's pillars. Roel, Khalid, Jasmine, Harley, Douglas, and Balott.
Rose was the one accompanying Noel on his side beside Anna. Of course, this was supposed to be Elaine's role, but she was supposed to be one of the people that received the reward, and she was still in the Lesen family. Hence, Rose filled this position.
At first, Livia was supposed to be one of the witnesses, but because of the recent conflict, Livia chose to be absent.
Noel stood up. "Incetta Shervina!"
"Incetta Shervina is entering the hall!" A soldier announced while opening the door.
