Earl Bercy was up to his neck with work.
His rank had gone up from baron to earl. Adding to this, he was also appointed as the legal advisor of the Empire. In the Empire, the position of legal advisor was right below that of the emperor and the prime minister. He had instantly become a big shot.
Moreover, Frankia currently lacked both an emperor and a prime minister. Emperor Henry the Third had died. The position of prime minister was temporarily taken by Henrietta de Brittany. Both of these individuals were gone now.
Her Excellency the Empress Dowager was present, but she was a strawman and mostly only had a symbolic value. She was also old now. No matter how anyone looked at it, Earl Bercy was the head of the government now.
Promoted from a mere baronet to the one responsible for Frankia’s administration as a whole……. It should probably be acceptable to say that he brought glory to his family’s name. However, Earl Bercy was honestly not that happy about it.
