Award ceremony (2)

The ceremony went as one would expect.

The nobles that were in charge of armies received gold and land, while the ones that had distinguished themselves in battle received titles and gold.

It was rare for those that distinguished themselves in battle to receive land since…there wasn't much land in the kingdom in the first place.

No, it wasn't that there wasn't much land, there just wasn't as much usable land to give.

Land could have been given, but it would have been a strain on the finances of these new nobles to develop. So instead, they were given titles and gold to freely develop however they wanted.

If they really wanted these barren lands, the kingdom had a system where they could buy these lands.

Though it would cost them more than if they received these lands as an award.

The only thing that I was concerned about was the fact that I was being ignored.
