It had been a week ever since Ajax left the infirmary, for the past couple of days you had been training him and teaching him all the responsibilities of being a harbinger and such.
He had been in the Fatui now around four weeks, he had made a lot of progress and had matured, despite still trying to try his little pouty face with you all the time.
You were sat in the throne room with The Tsaritsa, you were both discussing whether Ajax was ready for the role.
You had both came to the agreement that he was ready, that he had proven himself in his duel with The Knave.
The Tsaritsa called for two Agents to go fetch Ajax which they happily did.
Ajax was surprised to be called into the Tsaritsa's throne room, as it wasn't often he was specifically called to see her to his knowledge. His mind was filled with many different possibilities for why he was being called. He was kind of nervous, but was also excited and curious as he walked up the stairs and entered the throne room to greet the Tsaritsa. Once he was there, he went down to one knee and bowed.
"Your Majesty. You summoned me?"
The Tsaritsa looked down at him for a moment, and a small, proud smirk appeared on her face as she spoke again.
"Yes. I've brought you here to inform you about a promotion I've decided to grant you."
You were stood off to the side so he couldn't see you were there, watching with a proud smile. Your little student was getting promoted like he wanted. You knew you had a way with your words.
His eyes widened a little bit, surprise and disbelief coming over him immediately upon hearing that he was being promoted. He kept his head bowed though, waiting for the Tsaritsa to continue.
The Tsaritsa's smirk stayed on her face as she looked at him. She was enjoying his clear surprise at the news a little before she spoke again.
"From today, you will officially be promoted to the 11th Fatui Harbinger. Congratulations, you have proven yourself worthy for the role."
His eyes widened even more in both disbelief and shock upon hearing that. He'd always expected he'd be promoted to a harbinger one day, but he honestly didn't think it would happen this soon. A mix of excitement, disbelief, and honor came over him, and he could hardly believe his ears. He'd just been promoted to a harbinger by the Tsaritsa herself. He went to say something, but he found himself struggling to find the words. He couldn't believe this was real...
The Tsaritsa chuckled when he was speechless at the news, clearly enjoying his shock. She gestured for him to stand up, and spoke again.
