Tatsuo sat in the castle as he looked at his retainers.
"The fief wars are irrelevant as we already know there is no army that can defend against those monsters those three raised. I might as well call myself Duke now, the next phase will be when the allies come into play. The Emperor thinks he is a Queen when he is nothing more than a Pawn on the chessboard. All his brilliant plans are just common sense things to us so there isn't much to worry about as Itachi and Shisui will have measures put into place. With the addition of the new Territory, I have effectively become the ruler of the North, I sealed off the rest of the Landlocked Empire from the only access to the sea. All in all, we are major players that cannot be eliminated as our military and economic strength is far superior. Not only that with the laws implemented our region has the highest literacy rate in the world as we offer universal education."
He Stood up and walked to the Updated map of the territory.
"Now we must move on to the Peerages of you all, as this is now a Dukedom I can promote as I see fit. Itachi and Shisui will receive the Ranks of Marquis as their administrative responsibilities wouldn't allow them to manage a Fief. Actually, none of the 10 of you will Manage a Fief as I need you to continue doing what you are to keep this place running smoothly. In order to secure the Loyalty of the Nobles we forced out of their Peerages I will give them new ones along the Borders of our Dukedom and the rest of the Empire keeping us Isolated from a direct attack."
Tatsuo's words passed down like a tidal wave that changed the Dynamic of the North as a Duke was Born. Along the Borders of the Dukedom Tatsuo gave Noble titles to the former slaves that distinguished themselves the most in the war. From Slave to Noble! Something like this was unheard of in this world yet it happened before the eyes of everyone.
Pushing the Emperor anymore was unnecessary as the actions Tatsuo took would cause the Emperor's own paranoia to get the best of him. Leaving him to his own thoughts would cause him to overthink what was actually happening an make an irreversible decision and fatal flaws which is exactly what Tatsuo is waiting for.
Throughout the continent, the name of the Baharuth Empire's newest Duke spread rapidly as well as his deeds. He was giving the nickname "Duke of Oblivion" due to his untraceable and merciless tactics that left many strategists unable to cope. His Ships and caravans were like mighty dragons in any land or sea they traversed. Pirates, Bandits, Criminals, and other nations alike gave his shipments a wide margin in order to not incur the Wraith of the Duke as his Banners flew highly, arrogantly, and powerfully above all.
Along with that, a large influx of Marriage proposals came in as many nobles wished their daughter could marry a Powerful man like Duke Von Hoga. That was until he released a Statement.
"Currently it is Standard for Nobles to have a large Harem of wives however that is usually because you need heirs to carry on your bloodline this is not only disrespecting the body but also the human rights of the Females you call your wives. Even in the upper echelons of society a woman is nothing more than a baby-making factory, This will end today in my fief as I will issue new laws regarding the proper treatment of women as from this day forth they will have the same rights as Men in the Hoga Dukedom. I am appalled by the greed you nobles have as you are willing to sell your very own children to a man you have never even met, I have never, and will never condone a Harem due to the above reasons and I already have a Wife."
The statement shattered the common sense of everyone however along with that Statement Duke Hoga held a Ball with all the Nobles of the North. During which Duchess Von Hoga was shown to the world along with their 3 children. Duchess Von Hoga wore a beautiful Red Dress which contrasted her Seafoam green hair to a wonderful level. She wore the new shoes created for Noblewomen called "High Heels" which perfectly accented her legs making them look all the more slender like a fine piece of artwork. Her demeanor was like a Goddess that descended as her grace outshined that of the Duke's.
She sat down on Her Throne next to the Duke then made a gesture, following that Marquis Uchiha walked towards her and handed off a scroll. That's when the Duchess's Voice traveled throughout the entire Dukedom, powered by her magical power.
"By Order of Duchess Nelliel Von Hoga,
Former Slave Vanessa will be granted her freedom on the First Day of October, in the 653rd Year. She will also be granted the Rank of Baronet becoming the First Female Noble in the History of the Hoga Dukedom. This Title shall never be stripped unless a descendant or Vanessa herself is deemed a traitor to the Dukedom or the Crown.
From this day forth you will be known as Her Lady Baronet Vanessa Ramoza!"
This was the start of a new Era! Many Years down the line Vanessa Ramoza now a Countess will remember the day her Peerage was granted by the Empress as she set the tone for Female Nobles in the Empire!
During the festivities of the Ball, it was About time for the guest of Honor to Arrive.
As if on cue the Imperial Ballot began to play. In the Presence of a Duke if the Imperial Ballot plays it means the Emperor is arriving.
"It Seems he made his decision."
