In response to Perfikot's questions, Duke of Gloucester simply produced another document, a conferring letter that made Perfikot's eyelids twitch.
"Because this plan still requires your leadership, Her Majesty the Empress has specially titled you as the Count of Exploration for the Northern Territory," said Duke of Gloucester, uttering words that made Perfikot's eyes twitch, and then, as if adding insult to injury, he supplemented: "The entire Northern Territory will be under your management, everything in the Northern Territory will operate according to your will, and the Empire will provide you with the utmost support for this matter."
At this point, Duke of Gloucester paused, seemingly weighing his words, because he knew the upcoming thing he was going to say might infuriate Perfikot.
