Chapter 523 - 307: Tonight Is Not the Past—The Name of Thor Dressrosa
Chapter 523 - 307: Tonight Is Not the Past—The Name of Thor Dressrosa
Inside the residence.
Thor and Count Engle both began to contemplate what they needed in exchange.
Until the afternoon gradually passed.
The two of them completed the exchange for the items they currently needed.
However, they only completed the exchange; it would still be a few days before the items arrive.
Especially for Thor’s ennoblement as a Count.
Compared to the ennoblement of Barons and Viscounts.
The ennoblement of a Count is undoubtedly much more ceremonious, requiring arrival at the Royal Palace and to be done by the Tulip King himself.
Generally, after the Kingdom War, it takes about seven days before nobility is ennobled.
It’s still quite early for that.
For them, the most important thing at the moment is to attend tonight’s banquet.
The invitation from Old Duke Liepuer, neither Thor nor Count Engle had any intention to decline.
And as a banquet of the top-level nobility, they needed to prepare well.
Such as whom to bring along.
Such as what kind of attire to wear.
But fortunately, there were professionals responsible for taking care of these.
The only trouble was the participants.
Ultimately, after much consideration, Count Engle and Thor decided that Count Engle, Thor, Carlo, and Carlo’s wife, Annette Essen, would attend.
As for others, they decided not to bring them for the time being.
After all, this was a banquet for the top-level nobility; allowing more people in would not be a good thing.
And after the decision was made.
There were professionals to assist the four in getting dressed.
As dusk gradually adorned the sky.
A carriage headed towards the Royal Palace.
The nobility’s banquet was held within the Royal Palace.
They naturally had to go to the Royal Palace.
The Royal Capital was undoubtedly large; it took the group over an hour to reach the gates of the Royal Palace from the residence.
After presenting the invitation letter to the Royal Palace guards, a knight led the group to the banquet venue.
The Royal Capital was very large.
The Royal Palace was equally vast.
More than half an hour later, under the knight’s guidance, they arrived at the palace where the banquet was held.
And they encountered a familiar figure.
"Hahaha, it seems my luck is quite good, Count Engle, no, now it should be Marquis Engle,"
"And Viscount Thor!"
Sakre Liepuer spoke with a smile.
"It’s an honor to see you again, Sakre Knight!"
"I’m fortunate as well, Sakre Knight!"
Both Count Engle and Thor couldn’t help but smile and speak.
"Hahaha, come, let me take you inside. Most of the nobility is already here at the banquet!"
"I heard that the King has invited several princesses to attend the banquet this time."
"Viscount Thor, this is your opportunity!"
Sakre Liepuer said with a laugh and then winked at Thor.
"Princesses!"
Thor raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
Count Engle’s eyes brightened.
"Yes, I’ve heard that it’s the Fourteenth Princess, the Fifteenth Princess, the Seventeenth Princess, and the Nineteenth Princess!"
"Viscount Thor, you may not know, but these princesses all have very high talents, especially the Seventeenth Princess, who is only fourteen this year and is said to be nearing the breakthrough to a Great Knight. And the Nineteenth Princess, who is only twelve this year, has already condensed a Life Seed and become a qualified Apprentice Knight. Even the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Princesses have exceptional talents."
"More importantly, they are all very beautiful, like elves."
Sakre Liepuer nodded with a smile and introduced them to Thor and Count Engle.
Listening to Sakre Liepuer’s words, Count Engle’s eyes brightened suddenly.
"Hehehe, Viscount Thor, I dare say this is specially prepared by the King for you, seize your chance."
As Count Engle’s eyes brightened, Sakre Liepuer mysteriously added.
"Sakre Knight, you jest!"
Thor shook his head with a wry smile, a hint of helplessness on his face.
"Hahaha!"
"I’m not joking; you’ll see when you go inside!"
Sakre Liepuer laughed heartily, then led the group into the palace.
As they approached, many nobles inside the palace couldn’t help but cast their gaze toward them.
"What’s this?"
"Dressrosa!"
"Hahaha, the Dressrosa family has arrived!"
"That must be Count Engle."
"Indeed, but now he should be addressed as Marquis Engle."
"Oh, right, I almost forgot!"
Voices mingled together as soon someone holding a wine glass came over.
"Marquis Engle, come, we’ve been waiting for you, have a drink!"
Marquis Mackendy said with a smile, leading the way as this top-level Marquis approached.
Meanwhile, a servant brought over a glass of red wine.
"Marquis Mackendy, long time no see!"
Count Engle nodded with a smile and then raised his wine glass slightly.
Yet, before he could put the glass down, more nobles soon gathered around.
This time, at the kingdom’s top-level nobility banquet, only powerful Marquises, top-level Marquises, the Three Great Dukes, and royal descendants could attend.
Even so, the number of attendees was not small.
At this moment, Count Engle became a focal point.
Not only Count Engle, even Carlo and his wife were similarly surrounded.
As for Thor, at the moment Count Engle clinked glasses with Marquis Mackendy, he was already surrounded by some other nobles.
