Taldan Courtier increased rank?

[crashcanuck]

So I got the Taldan Courtier boon and part of it says if you already have a noble title or later get one the NPC the boon relates to "promises to increase your rank". Does that just mean I can pick a higher noble title than one of the examples given in the Field Guide?

I think it's going to interact with something in an upcoming plotline.
