Horatio walks down the hall of the black keep towards the throne room, admiring the architecture of it as he has never seen such before. As he enters the Throne Room, he approaches the Scribe, who asks him his name.
"Horatio Burns."
The Scribe asks him if he is of any nobility, to which Horatio replies he is not. The Scribe motions for Horatio to wait while the Emperor finishes talking to the men before him, he goes to take a seat within the Throne room, far away from the others as he waits his turn. Time pasts, to where the Scribe comes over to wake him up, startling Horatio. The Scribe chuckles, then informs him that it is his turn. Horatio nods and gets up from his seat, then begins to walk to where the Emperor is seated. Horatio bows, then begins to speak,
"Emperor Godfrey, I have, but a humble request for thy. Since I've been a little boy, it has been my desire to become a noble within the Holy Oren Empire. I've seen the respect that they have received, and I have craved it for many years of hard work and labor within the Empire. It has also been a desire of mine to return to the Empire, as it has given me so much. To accomplish this, I ask for the title of Baron, nothing more, nothing less. This leads me to my question, of if I may purchase a barony from Your Majesty, and how much it might cost?"
Horatio then pauses, awaiting the Emperors response
