If you truly do not wish such a thing, I would never force it. However, if I may say, the rules of rank and nobility are attempts to put one man above another. Deeds and thoughts matter far more than do birth, wealth, or origin, and insisting on artificial constructs seems to only lead to suffering and strife, in my experience. Ambrose may well be a noble by the standards of his world, but that is not why I am attempting to give him a party, nor why I think he deserves that pleasure.
You are as good a human being as I have ever known, and better than many. Why should that not be celebrated by those who value you?
