You decide to spend more time with your children, Ceodwell especially, to make sure they are properly educated and learned now that their father is dead.
Heads*
Your heart might be heavy, but you shall carry on. For the children!
882 AD, Autumn
The court murmurs as the envoy from Governor of Augas concludes his speech.
"Therefore, for all those matters I have laid before you, my liege - territory, wealth, garrison and merits of Governor's family - he is asking that you make the position of Governor of Augas not only an administrative, but an aristocratic position too." Some nobles gathered in the throne room grumble, and quite loudly at that.
The customary division in Luathbas between administrators and nobles is a simple one: nobles have connections to royal family and wealth coming from various dealings and businesses (with occassional sprinkle of mercenary troops), while governors have territorial powers and defensive forces sanctioned by the government. It had worked out nicely for past hundred eighty years, since this division was created by the first King after indepedence from long defunct Tavenian Empire.
For a governor to become a noble, it's an affront to nobles and a risk to the Crown; few men and women in Luathbas' modern history were both at once, making them almost as powerful as the Marshal or the Archpriest, so to speak.
Then again, the current Governor's father, and the Governor himself, conducted themselves exceptionally since Augas was captured, safely guiding it through years of war and years of peace.
After an inner debate, you decide to...
A) Not allow a single man to wield so much power. 'Governor of Augas' shall remain as a purely administrative title.
B) Bestow upon family of the Governor of Augas the title of a 'Lord', or, to be more specific, 'Lord-Governor of Augas'.
