Chapter 410: The Reason

At this point, even Emperor Miles of Genosha began to doubt his own ears, wondering if he was hallucinating. He couldn't help but ask again:

"Charles, what did you just say? That's the title of Duke, the highest rank in Genosha. Since the founding of Genosha, there have been very few who have received this title, and you, being under forty, are the first." 

Emperor Miles reiterated just how high the honor and status of this title truly were. 

He suspected that Charles might not fully understand the significance of such matters, which was why he would refuse. 

To everyone's surprise, even with the Emperor's words, Charles still shook his head without a moment's hesitation and slowly said, "Your Majesty, I am honored that you value me so highly, but I have no desire for a noble title." 

Upon hearing Charles's response, not only did the Emperor fall silent, but the other nobles present also found themselves at a loss for words.
