Chapter 843: Hazy moon

Titaniya, the residence of Earl Howard.

The large mansions are like small palaces, and the neat lawns are cut through

the exquisite floor to present an elegant and generous landscape. After the

Janitor Guard stopped searching and trying suspects recently, the place has

also resumed its former lively.

Today, the guests of Earl Howard's banquet, many nobles in the imperial

capital were invited.

Within the empire, the earl can be said to be the top rank among the nobles,

but the duke is actually too rare and there are only four, and their status is

similar to that of the king. The titles of the whole country are divided into

four categories, duke, earl, viscount, and baron. In addition, the lord only

bestows honorary titles with outstanding talents or honors, not hereditary

titles.

Ad

The promotion of the title is by no means an easy task. In fact, in peacetime,

the title basically does not change, and some nobles with small titles are

even in danger of slipping. The historical background of each large-scale

knighthood is generally the empire's external expansion, which is why the

expedition a few years ago attracted so many people.

Today, nearly a thousand years after the founding of the empire, there are no

more than 100 families with earl titles, while the earl families that still

maintain the corresponding status and real power are hovering around 60-70.

Such a rare and noble position symbolizes power, wealth, status, etc., and

therefore they often have a great influence.

"Welcome everyone to come to my house as a guest."

The slightly faint Earl Howard today combed his smooth back and dressed in a

specially tailored black dress. Standing on the central staircase in the hall,

he opened his hands and greeted the many guests below.

His voice is not hurried or slow, with a kind of calmness peculiar to a

superior, his blue eyes slowly sweeping over these invited people, looking for

someone who is interested in today's chat.

For a nobleman like him, wealth is no longer a problem. As long as he does not

engage in treason, his status will basically not change in the empire. The

earl's title was inherited from birth, just like his parents and grandparents,

naturally, and destined. They all received guests in this luxurious hall. He

had seen his grandpa do this since he was a child, his father did it, and he

does it today.

If you say you are bored, that's not right. He is very comfortable with this

kind of scene, like a heritage engraved in his blood. He enjoys everyone's

complimentary greetings and words. As long as he sits at the table in the

banquet, he will have a steady flow of energy. People from here come over and

tell him the latest news and interesting things. And he only needs to taste

the wine slowly, nodding occasionally to express his commendation to the

visitor. This is also his favorite pastime. It not only demonstrates the

nobility of his family, gains a good reputation, but also kills the boring

time.

Today, after simply entertaining these guests, he walked slowly to the fixed

corner, where the vision is excellent, and it is not very eye-catching (self-

thinking). When he was not an adult, he sat here and took a fancy to Viscount

Ailand. His daughter Marilyn later became his wife as a matter of course.

After the waiter mixed him with the orange Cointreau, he gently sniffed and

sighed the fragrance that had not changed over the past ten years, then raised

his hand slightly, and the waiter next to him immediately stepped down

knowingly. The man in the tuxedo stepped forward.

"Master Earl, good evening. I am delighted to see that you are still healthy."

"Okay, hewlett. Tell me something interesting, have you lost money recently?"

Howard waved his hand.

Baron Hewlett was a follower he was familiar with when he was a child.

Although he has average skills, he has been thinking about making a fortune

since he was young. Sometimes when you are short of money or have nowhere to

go, you will find him here.

He is not interested in Hewlett’s popcorn industry at all, but every time he

hears that the process of losing money is also a funny thing, he doesn’t let

anyone stop him.

"Wise and noble Lord Earl, I have recently discovered a new wealth of business

opportunities." Hewlett made the familiar tone as soon as he came up, making

Howard couldn't help but lift his beard.

"Okay, old man, talk about it." He changed his position and cocked his legs.

"I don't know if you have heard of a caravan that has just arrived in the

imperial capital. They are the Lagerties Chamber of Commerce and have brought

many mysterious products from the East."

"Oriental, it's so wonderful." Howard slowly tasted the wine, remembering the

shock when he saw that map of the world in his grandfather's study when he was

a child.

The East is a remote and vast world. People in the empire knew about it, but

they didn't know it very well, so it was full of various ideas and fantasies.

Some people say that there are wealth everywhere, rare treasures everywhere,

porcelain and silk that are more expensive than gold in the empire, and every

household has them. Eastern women’s skin is smooth and has no body odor, and

will not age all the year round, etc., just like another world. .

Although Howard had never been to the East, he still collected a lot of books

depicting the East, travel notes, etc., which described a lot of real or

imaginary things, which made people feel like falling into the clouds and

infinite reverie.

"This time they not only brought oriental silk porcelain, but also many things

that hadn't been seen in the East before." Hewlett knew that the Lord Earl was

interested in the East.

"Among them are light gauze feathers that can shine through by candlelight,

medicinal pills that can make people live for a hundred years, wine that makes

people dream of the past, dolls dancing on the tabletop, and clouds and mists

that show the strangeness of the Eastern Wonderland. Pearl..." The baron

exhausted his vocabulary and imagination to describe things that have never

been seen before.

Although the desire to hear in his heart was not stopped, Howard still

maintained the superficial expression, nodded gently, expressed a slight

approval, and then interrupted this appropriately.

"Although it sounds good, who knows the truth or not, hey..." He sighed

pretendingly with regret, and then cast his eyes slightly.

"Of course it is true, I saw it with my own eyes." Seeing that the earl was

interested, Hewlett responded eagerly.

"Furthermore, the eldest lady of the Lagertis Chamber of Commerce is extremely

beautiful, like the bright moon in the sky, like a rare gem, which makes

people unable to move their eyes."

"Oh, how beautiful it can be." Howard smiled. The most indispensable among the

nobles is beautiful women. They sit on land and wealth. The maids around them

are carefully selected since childhood. The description of such looks is long

gone. Sensitive.

"Uh...It's like.... comparable to the old princess." Hewlett couldn't find any

good metaphors, so he could only say so.

"Such a compliment, tell me, how much did you charge the lady." Howard's beard

curled up again.

The daughter of the Landsworth family, the former prince, and the future white

queen, Frosia's face is the most beautiful and unparalleled ever seen by the

nobles and commoners in the imperial capital.

Although the princess was very indifferent to social interactions and rarely

attended banquets, even if she said a word in the mansion, what she wore every

day was a topic that all the emperors talked about at that time. Countless

aristocratic ladies and women obsessively follow the trend of her dress and

dress. Whether it is identity, appearance, talent, etc., this is the ceiling-

like figure in the entire empire. There are hardly any shortcomings, and it is

the most perfect in countless people's dreams. Object.

And Hewlett actually used the later white emperor as a metaphor today, and

this touted is too endless. When Howard heard this, he shook his head

secretly, and raised some doubts about the Eastern things he had said before.

"My lord must believe me, it's really not half false." Hewlett showed an

anxious and anxious look on his face.

"Okay, for the sake of an old friend, I don't care how much benefit you

receive from that eldest lady. After that, I will ask the butler to give you

an invitation, and you will forward it to that eldest lady."

"But what I am interested in is not her looks, but the Oriental stuff you

mentioned before. I hope I won't be disappointed this time."

"And I remind you in advance, don't play any tricks to fool me, I have seen a

lot of real treasures in the East, if you do that, you are insulting me,

understand?"

"My Honorable Hewlett, I understand. How could I lie to you, Hewlett will

always be your most loyal follower." After receiving a reply, the downturned

baron also became calm and polite, and bowed respectfully. , And then stepped

back with a smile on his face.

Looking at the back of this childhood playmate, Howard shook his head

slightly, then tapped the tabletop.

Next person. He wanted to continue to hear what interesting news the next

guest brought to him.

"Good evening, Lord Earl."

"Good evening, Mrs. Winnessa."

A graceful lady sat down, and the fine gems on the jewelry in front of her

reflected the colorful glitter under the light, but the more eye-catching was

the slim and smooth silk dress, which gave her graceful figure. It is

revealed, and the silver embroidery on it is lifelike, giving people a

mysterious oriental charm.

"I came here today and actually wanted to introduce a friend to Lord Howard."

Familiar words were played out again, and the legend about the mysterious and

beautiful chamber of commerce lady began to spread in the imperial capital.

——————

A few days later, in the evening, the courtyard where the Lagertis caravan was

located.

Lorrain Hill is now dressing up in front of the mirror, preparing for the

dinner tonight.

Thanks to the publicity of the people these days, the reputation of this

caravan quickly spread in the imperial capital, and some big nobles began to

be interested in this Miss Lexi and sent invitation letters one after another.

But Lorrain Hill didn't want to visit one by one. Not only was it time-

consuming and laborious, she also liked to attend various banquet invitations

so frequently, and was watched by people with all kinds of eyes for a long

time.

If it weren't for this plan, it would be necessary to actually attend the

banquet to see the situation in the upper empire, she might not even have the

idea of showing her face. Although sensitivity is helpful in practice and

fighting, it will only make Lorraine more shy in such an unfamiliar social

situation.

Woo, if only there was a stand-in. Seeing herself in the mirror gradually

being dressed up by the two maids beside her, such a thought suddenly floated

in the girl's heart.

"Okay, miss, it's sorted out."

"Thank you Yugolia." The girl woke up from her imagination and looked at

herself in the mirror.

Today, she is wearing a white and blue exquisite long dress with a white base,

dotted with blue and white roses, and a light blue belt tied around her waist,

with two light ribbons hanging on the side. The overall style is pure and

fresh, with the golden hair like warm sun, just like the morning sun in

winter.

In today's empire, which prefers red and black, such dressing can be said to

be very different, which brings a strange impact to people.

After dressing up, Lorrain Hill and the two maids walked down the stairs and

slowly came to the courtyard, where a special white carriage had been waiting

for a long time.

The car body is decorated with a few vines, and the surrounding is decorated

with flame yellow and pure white roses. The horse is also two handsome

unicorns. At this moment, they are lightly knocking their hooves on the ground

to pass the time.

"Good evening." The girl greeted Vio, who was driving, and then came to the

two unicorns and stroked them gently, recalling the way Frosia taught her in

the past to comfort the two unicorns of Natural Sequence 5. beast.

A long time ago, unicorns were rare beasts that lived in the forest. They were

later domesticated by the elves, and their numbers only increased slightly.

Later, the Sen elves and humans jointly established a nation, and a group of

elves or humans with both bloodlines were born. They gradually became a bridge

between the two clans, and the most famous one was the Landsworth family, the

Duke of Unicorns. This family of dukes guarding the east of the empire has

always been rich in poets and artists. It is the most moderate family of the

four dukes and has an excellent reputation among the nobility.

Today, the Lansworth family has even more unicorns than the forest elves, and

there are multiple elite knights in the east, cruising the vast and peaceful

land.

After comforting the two unicorns temporarily borrowed from the forest elves,

Lorrain Hill and the maids boarded the carriage, and then the two unicorns

drove the white rose carriage towards Yinyue Street where the nobles gathered.

The carriage turned around the street in the envy and curious eyes of passers-

by, and stepped into an increasingly tidy area. There are no longer various

shops on both sides of the street, but a long and narrow iron fence, revealing

the lawn, garden, and verdant trees. .

These are all private residences belonging to the nobles. Many great nobles in

the empire have their own residences in this area~www.mtlnovel.com~ which is

convenient for participating in meetings, holding positions, or meeting saints

in the imperial capital.

"Miss, Lord Howard's mansion is here." Vio's voice came from ahead, and the

carriage slowly stopped.

Looking through the car window, the mansion is full of lively figures at this

moment. Many aristocrats are dancing at the banquet, and the melodious and

soothing music can be heard even far away.

It seems that the banquet has already begun. Lorraine Hill thoughtfully, then

slowly stepped out of the carriage supported by the maid.

The white shoes are like exquisite works of art. The sides are dotted with

light pink ribbons and flowers. The crossed ribbons show the slenderness of

the calves. Follow the white stockings upwards. It is a white and blue rose

skirt. A girl with a dreamy face. Step into this mortal world.

"Pull... Lagerties Chamber of Commerce, Miss Lacey is here~"

The attendant recovered from the shock, anxiously announced his name, and then

many eyes gathered and looked at the door leading to the outside world.

In this way, a young girl in a white and blue rose dress came into everyone's

sight, and her footsteps were like ripples on the lake, rippling in her heart,

making people's heart jump and sing loudly.

If the daughter of the Landsworth family is a sun jewel diamond wrapped in a

golden flame rose, then this girl is a flawless moon surrounded by clear

roses, hazy and dreamy, making people fall in a dream.

"Perhaps, they really didn't exaggerate."

Standing on the stairs, Earl Howard opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and

then felt a magical sense of mission spreading in his body and mind.

Perhaps this girl will change all wind directions in the imperial capital.

Because even he couldn't refuse the beauty of such an alluring city.

In the aristocratic world far away from the sufferings of the mortal world,

only beauty and power are the universal existence, and this girl has one of

them.
