In the end, Don Quixote offered the formula for the warming potion to Perfikot, and Perfikot rewarded him by making him a noble with actual land.
Of course, it wasn't any large territory, just a nominal piece of land given to him around Chernobyl.
After all, although Perfikot didn't think Don Quixote was someone with a problem in the head, his delusions, or rather his fantasy syndrome, were indeed not mild. She wasn't comfortable letting this old knight truly manage a settlement.
While Perfikot was not worried about him causing any trouble, if a Lord with a head full of knight novels suddenly decided to try implementing some nonsensical policies from those novels, it would give her a headache.
So Perfikot merely gave him a piece of uninhabited land and let the relatively sensible Sanderion take the nominal position of 'agent', while keeping Don Quixote himself at the manor, appointing him as an 'advisor'.
