"Feast your eyes!"
Justinian declared, arms wide open as he ensured to make a show, to show everyone that this is now a major change that will change his duchy forever.

Justinian shook his head, smiling widely.
"That's too generous a punishment, is it not?"
"So what about-"
"May we suggest something, Duke Justinian?"
