"What has Lynch been up to these days?"
After finishing his work, the Emperor seemed to relax and casually brought up this topic. In recent days, Lynch has been in the spotlight, and some intelligence he "accidentally" leaked has caught the Emperor's attention.
The Emperor personally does not like this man. Granting Lynch a title was merely a ploy to upset the Federation, but now he's found himself upset because of some rumors.
Rumor has it that Lynch will marry Jenia, and Lynch's baronship was granted by the Emperor to remove the final obstacle in their relationship — nobility.
In the Gafura Empire, a princess must marry a noble; this is an unchangeable rule. But as long as one is a noble, regardless of the rank, they can marry into the Imperial Family.
Directly conferring Lynch a high noble title is unrealistic. Only after he marries Princess Jenia can his rank be elevated by the Imperial Family as a "gift," making him worthy of the princess.
