Cain looked straight into the eyes of the Collapsing Lightning Duke before bending a knee and adopting a knight stance.
"Your Highness, Vice-Captain Laurifer is reporting for duty."
The Collapsing Lightning Duke showed a small smile as he saw the solemnity of Cain's military etiquette. He nodded before waving his hand.
"Rise, Major Laurifer."
Cain's eyes widened as he heard that. He knew that all his achievements and merits would improve his rank in the military, but he found it hard to believe he jumped past Captain and immediately became a Major.
However, while he was very happy about that honor, he also felt conflicted. A rank in the military was not just a title but a statement that you have made a difference and your hard work secured the safety of the people of the Godslayer Humankind.
