The confirmation went through immediately.
The screen flickered once and then the notifications began to appear again.
[Ding. Title Equipped.]
[Ding. Calculating Territory Population.]
[Ding. Excluding deceased individuals.]
[Ding. Excluding external allied settlements.]
[Ding. Confirmed Population Under Direct Authority: 98,000.]
Gabriel's expression changed slightly.
He did not speak yet. He kept watching.
Another line appeared.
[Ding. Lord Title Effect Activated.]
[Ding. Passive Effect: Every 100 Citizens Grants +1 Attribute Point.]
[Ding. Total Eligible Units: 98,000.]
There was a brief pause, as if the system itself was processing the scale.
Then the final calculation appeared.
[Ding. Attribute Points Earned: +980.]
The room went quiet.
Seraphina, who had been sneakily holding Gabriel without his consent, blinked once. She looked at the screen, then at him, then back again just to be sure she read it correctly.
Gabriel did not move, just as equally speechless.
