The Landsdraad applauds as the Chancellor announces the appointment of Lord Beetnemesis to the august position of Adjutant General and places the ornate chain of office around his neck. Which takes sometime as the Archduke is quite old and the chain weighs some 10 kilos of solid gold. Beetnemesis holds his breath, recalling that earlier in the ceremonies the senile fool had lopped off a man's ear while bestowing a barony on him with an overly ornate and hefty broadsword.
The Archduke nods with satisfaction some five minutes later as he at last gets the symbol of office around Beetnemesis's neck. Beetnemesis, trying not to visibly choke, carefully moves the symbol of office to his chest, as it had been draped down his back and was cutting off his air supply. The impatient nobles finally cease applauding. Lifting the symbol, he sees where his name has been etched on under the names of all the prior adjutant generals, hundreds of names adorn the large golden sphere, each etched in acid by the Chancellor... another narrowly avoided disaster, the Archduke had nearly tried to etch it with Sacred Oil and anoint him with the acid. Definitely time for the Chancellor to resign.
The Archduke regards the other nominees, "Perhaps you should hold a ball to celebrate this event? And your own campaigns too of course, if you wan too."
