Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The castle was bustling with noise and excitent. Beautifully-dressed madams were gathered in groups, discussing which perfu was better or which clothes were more trendy. They were chit-chatting without a mont of pause.
anwhile, most of the mature aristocrats had acquaintances with them. They gathered together and talked to each other at a low volu.
There were many fruits and drinks at the dining table in the castle. The fruits were cut in bite-sized pieces and placed on the plate. The maids were busy about, delivering plates of fruits or drinks to the aristocrats.
Count Selin was also speaking to a few middle-aged n in a rather friendly manner.
Suddenly, a knight ca quickly to Count Selin and said sothing softly. Count Selin then clapped his hands loudly and the hall soon fell silent. Count Selin announced loudly, “Everyone, I’ve organized this dinner today for the sole purpose of congratulating Wilson rlin who has recently beco a baron in Prakash City. Now, Baron rlin has arrived.”
As soon as he finished his words, rlin and Avril strode into the hall under the guidance of the maid.
Instantaneously, nurous gazes were focused upon rlin and Avril. Since rlin beca a Spell Caster, he always had an air of elegance about him. anwhile, Avril was stunning by nature; she could beco the focus of the people anywhere she went.
Therefore, when rlin and Avril strode into the hall, many aristocrats were stunned by the couple.
“Sir Count, this is my fiancée, Avril!”
rlin brought Avril to et Count Selin and introduced her.
Count Selin simply nodded, then pointed to a middle-aged man in a black coat beside him and introduced him, “Baron rlin, this is Viscount Raphael!”
The people who could speak closely to Count Selin were naturally not any ordinary people. A viscount, only a title below a count, must be a person who had a strong influence in the whole Prakash City.
Count Selin introduced these people to rlin to help him truly mingle with the aristocrats in Prakash City.
“This is Viscount Shread.”
“This is Viscount Lesley.”
...
Count Selin introduced rlin to around six aristocrats, all viscounts. rlin also knew that these people were the important people in Prakash City. Maintaining a friendly relationship with them would bring great benefits to the Wilson family as well.
Thus, rlin smiled courteously back at them one by one.
These viscounts did not dare to be rude since Count Selin had properly introduced him. Moreover, about Count Selin’s incident in the castle, albeit a tight blockade was implented, so news was still leaked to them.
Thus, even though rlin was simply a baron, not a single viscount would dare to underestimate him. They all tried to be friendly with him so that they could leave a good impression on the strong yet mysterious Spell Caster.
rlin was not used to such a complicated social event. After he talked to the people for a while, he walked aside and took so fruits to eat.
As compared to rlin’s difficulty to adapt to the situation, Avril was better at these events. She was extrely nervous before but she was born in a noble’s family after all. In Blackwater City, she had participated at least a few official dinners like this.
Currently, Avril was pulled aside by so madams and ladies. As she was adored by everyone, the ladies asked her questions without a mont of pause. Sotis, she would let out a lodious giggle. She appeared to be having fun.
rlin squinted his eyes and scanned the hall. He did not find the black-robed old man in the crowd. After rlin had visited the old man a few days ago, he had lost all news of the old man.
“Baron rlin, what are you looking for?”
Count Selin seed to have drunk a little. His face was bright red. That was why he went aside to rid himself of the alcohol effect.
“Nothing. It’s just I didn’t see Wizard Hill around. I’m a little worried, that’s all.”
rlin simply said that.
“Wizard Hill?”
Count Selin shook his head slightly and said helplessly, “Yesterday, I sent my man to invite Wizard Hill but his maid said he’s still resting. He doesn’t want to see anyone.”
The black-robed old man was a little proud and aloof. Although he was only a roaming Wizard, rlin had always noticed the pride in the black-robed old man. The black-robed old man had never treated non-Spell Casters with a good attitude.
Even if the old man was well, he would not join dinner like this, not to ntion he was injured and recovering at the mont.
“Father, Baron rlin.”
Commander Cook had stood beside them since so ti ago. Beside him, there was an aristocrat who looked a little chubby.
This chubby aristocrat had small eyes and often sparks of light jumped across his eyes. He seed just like those smart businessn.
Commander Cook pointed at the chubby aristocrat and introduced him to rlin, “Baron rlin, this is Baron Warren. His territory is at River Lye Town, only separated with Baron rlin’s territory, Conxion Town by a river.”
The chubby Baron Warren wore a smile all the while and he bowed slightly to rlin, with his hat off. After that, he said with a smile, “Baron rlin, we’re neighbors. If there’s any problem with your territory in the future and you need help, please feel free to tell . I’ll definitely give all my might to aid you.”
Baron Warren also knew Count Selin thought highly of rlin currently. Moreover, their territories were right beside each other so it was necessary to maintain a good relationship with rlin.
“Thank you, Baron Warren...”
rlin forced a smile and replied Baron Warren but when he saw the lady standing beside Baron Warren, he was stunned.
“Your Highness, why are you here?”
rlin was surprised. The lady who stood beside Warren was, in fact, Princess Charise of the Royal Family whom he t during his journey here. Princess Charise, albeit running away quite nonplussed, still carried the pride of a princess then and finally went separate ways with Old Wilson’s group.
Little had he thought that he would et Princess Charise again under such circumstances. No wonder rlin had thought he saw a familiar figure outside of the castle. That must have been Princess Charise.
“Oh? Charise, you knew Baron rlin?”
Baron Warren shot an odd look at her but soon resud his previous expression. He smiled at rlin. “Baron rlin, there’s no longer any princess now. After so ti, Charise will beco a baroness!”
Following that, Baron Warren held Princess Charise in his arm as if he was close to her.
rlin looked at Princess Charise and saw that she had kept her head lowered all this while, biting her lips and having a dark look. rlin understood imdiately that this princess who was of noble origin had to marry a baron after coming to a foreign country. She must have felt terrible about this and seed very awkward especially in front of her “acquaintance”, rlin.
Thus, rlin simply nodded to Baron Warren. He then followed Count Selin and walked toward other aristocrats in the hall.
