The title that Axel received was merely nominal. Queen Wisteria did not want to burden him with duties or obligations, nor did she wish to bind him forcefully to their Queendom.
As a Nominal Duke, he enjoyed the benefits of the title, which conferred honor and commanding power over Witcheria's army, second only to the Queen. However, he did not receive any land, buildings, castles, or civil responsibilities.
"As you saved our dimension, it's now our turn to return the favor," Queen Wisteria claimed.
Following the ceremony, a celebratory banquet-cum-ball was held to honor Axel's new title and the success of rebuilding the three major forces.
As the event's central figure, Axel could not skip it, unfortunately. Thus, he found himself seated in the place of honor, dressed in stiff noble clothing gifted by the Queen, quietly receiving well wishes and congratulations from various noblewomen of Witcheria's court.
Maintaining appearances was already exhausting.
