When General Ike heard this, he immediately burst into tears with excitement, you know, he is now only a viscount, and this time Charles VI directly promoted his title by two ranks and became a marquis.

A marquis is extremely heavy in the entire empire, although he is only a nominal marquis without a fief, but the title can be inherited, and there is no fief now, it does not mean that there will be no fief in the future.

As long as he inherits this title, there will be some talented people among his descendants in the future, and he will go further on this basis.

At that time, they could rightfully occupy the land that their descendants had conquered and become local lords, and as the land continued to expand, they might one day have the opportunity to win the position of duke.

It can be said that the reward of Charles VI is not a current benefit, but a great gift that has been passed down by tens of millions of descendants of General Ike's family.

Originally, General Ike's family was hereditary in the position of Minister of Defense, and if you add the status of a marquis, under the combination of the two, looking at the entire empire, few people can have such authority.

After General Ike thanked Charles VI, he did not retreat, but stood in the front position, and in his current capacity, he was already qualified to fight steadily in front of him.

Charles VI also nodded and smiled at him, and Charles VI also admired the loyal General Ike very much.

Marcus then cleared his throat and continued: "General Francis Wittelsbach led his troops to support Vienna, and then repelled a strong enemy and defeated the Duchy of Saxony, and he was awarded the post of General Francis, the royal chief of guard!" ”

After Marcus finished speaking, he looked at Francis with a smile on his face, his eyes were full of stammering, and he certainly did not dare to slack off on the future Grand Duke of the Wittelsbach family.

Francis is now untitled, but he is the eldest son of the Duke of Lorraine, that is, the heir to the Wittelsbach family, and is destined to inherit the title of Duke in the future.

There was little room for him to go any further, and for this reason Charles VI gave him a position in the palace.

Rewarding those who do not have a title and rewarding those who do not have a position is also a consistent routine of the royal family.

And the position of Chief of the Royal Guard sounds like nothing, as if the status is not very high, but in fact the power of this position is quite large.

Because the chief of the royal guard manages the personal guards who protect Charles VI in the palace, it can be said that he is the closest person to Charles VI, and all the security in the palace is the responsibility of the chief of guard.

Every move of the emperor can be seen, so it is naturally easy to get on good terms with Charles VI.

Charles VI is now the most noble emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and the benefits behind having a good relationship with him are self-evident.

It was easy for Francis to figure out the crux of this, and although he was free and unwilling to be constrained, he would not let go of this rare opportunity.

For others, the meaning of having a good chance with the emperor may be to go further and climb to a higher position, but for him, his status is high enough, so he is not plotting those things, but wants to take advantage of this opportunity to get Princess Maria.

Perhaps he served Charles VI well, and Charles VI was so pleased that he rewarded Princess Maria to him.

Thinking like this, Francis stood up with a smile on his face, first politely saluted Charles VI, thanked him, and then happily accepted the reward.

Marcus held the big seal and sword symbolizing the identity of the chief of the guard in his hand, and handed it to Francis, and when the two of them got closer, Marcus also whispered: "Haha, congratulations to General Francis, I have more contact with Your Majesty, and there will be many opportunities." ”

Marcus's voice was so small that no one else heard it, only Francis.

Francis smiled and looked at Marcus, he knew that it was Marcus who was courting him, which meant that the two could also have some contact in private.

The Duke of Lorraine, who was sitting next to Charles VI, was also very satisfied when he heard this reward, and he thought about it the same as Francis, and felt that this was a good opportunity for Francis to marry Princess Maria.

After Francis accepted the sword and the edict of the chief of the guard, he was about to stand on the other side, but at this time, Charles VI suddenly stopped him.

"Hahaha, General Francis, you stand for a while, don't go down, I still have a reward for you here."

Charles VI said with a smile, looking at Francis with great eagerness, as if he were seeing a peerless genius with extraordinary talents.

Francis stopped in surprise and looked at Charles VI, he looked at the expression on Charles VI's face, and muttered happily in his heart: "Hey, it turns out that His Majesty Charles VI actually likes me so much, can I also see that I am a talent, so he wants to cultivate me well." ”

Thinking like this, Francis's face suddenly overflowed with a brighter smile, and he quickly stood back in the position he had just put in before him, and once again respectfully saluted Charles VI, and then looked at Charles VI with anticipation.

Naturally, he wanted Charles VI to reward him with Princess Maria in this way, and he lacked nothing else.

Charles VI looked at Francis with burning eyes, and then said with a smile: "After these few days of observation, I found that General Francis is outstanding and knowledgeable, and he is very satisfactory to me in all aspects, so I have made a decision to make your relationship with the royal family closer." ”

Hearing Charles VI's words, Francis's heart was completely boiling, he looked at Charles VI in disbelief, and thought to himself: "No, is he really going to give me Princess Maria, my God, happiness came too suddenly." ”

The Duke of Lorraine on the side was also equally surprised and excited, he turned his head sideways and looked at Charles VI suspiciously, seeing Charles VI's expression was obviously not a joke, but the only way to make Francis and the royal family closer was to marry Princess Maria, and there was no other princess in the royal family except Princess Maria.

Thinking like this, the Duke of Lorraine's old face suddenly smiled, he had been planning for many years, hoping that one day he would be able to let Francis marry Princess Maria, and now that his wish was about to be fulfilled, he couldn't help but be a little excited.
