Today I received notice that the Imperial Navy administration office made a miscalculation in the honour levels I've been operating at an recalled me urgently to Achenar. There, in the presence of our beloved Princess Arissa, I was promoted with the highly acclaimed title of Duke.
I shall now be known as "The Shadow Duke"
The ceremony was only slightly marred when some lowly serf addressed me as Lord. I was duty bounty to slightly beat him and condemn him to 2 years as an Imperial Slave cleaning my fleet of starships.
There is footage around Galnet showing me yelling at the person:
"I'm a Duke not a Lord. Where were you trained? The Eravate dancing class? I shall be disposed to beat you to death."
