Chapter 1052: Eighth-Rank Noble

The list contained not only the information of every noble ennobled but also the detailed "Ennoblement Regulations" that introduced the noble ranks of the kingdom, which Liszt read with great seriousness.

The noble ranks of the Flame Kingdom were formally designated as eight grades.

The highest rank was King, followed by Prince or Grand Duke as the second rank, and Duke as the third rank; these three ranks belonged to the senior nobility. The King followed a primogeniture system and was the only rank; all knights of the kingdom must follow the King, conditioned or unconditioned, and obey the King's dispatch.

Princes and Grand Dukes were of the same rank; Princes needed to possess the royal bloodline, specifically the Flame Family bloodline, and become a Dragon Knight. Grand Dukes had no bloodline restriction but had to ride a dragon not owned by the kingdom—that is, a dragon knight trained by the royal family could not obtain the rank of Grand Duke.
