Along with the appearance of Megis, several marquises and even dukes also arrived.
Some of them were important ministers of the country whose status was not inferior to Megis, and some were former members of the royal family who were of the same generation as Anxi. Now, all of them were attending this banquet, leaving many nobles dumbfounded.
"How is this possible?"
"It's understandable that Lazahad is here. He has always supported this person, but why are the other marquises and even dukes here?"
"This doesn't make sense!"
Many nobles were already shocked, and even panicked.
They had no idea that Shien had such a wide network and face that he could actually get so many marquises and dukes to attend. This was too incredible.
How could they know?
These marquises and dukes had nothing to do with Shien, and did not even receive an invitation, but they knew how much Shien was favored by Rosie, and they also knew what the status of Shien, who had an Adol black dragon, would be in the kingdom in the future.
Therefore, they would not treat Shien as an ordinary viscount.
Under such circumstances, as long as these great nobles did not have a grudge against Shien, they would want to show up and form a good relationship with Shien, so that it would be convenient for them to exchange needs in the future.
Again, not all nobles disliked Shien. Even if some disliked Shien before, now that they knew of Shien's ability and potential, they immediately dispelled some thoughts that they should not have, turned back from the wrong path, and planned to establish a friendly relationship with Shien.
This was how nobles should be.
Smart nobles would be like this. They would not have eternal enemies, and they would not offend a person to death when they did not see any chance of winning.
As long as there was profit to be made, turning enemies into friends was the most common operation for them, and vice versa.
Therefore, those nobles who wanted to see Shien make a fool of himself not only failed to achieve their goal, but were also destined to be greatly shocked.
After all, towards the end, even Barry had brought Limcho along.
"Let's go."
Barley said expressionlessly to Limjow who was beside him.
"Yes."
Limjow had a submissive look, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
They were definitely going to attend this banquet.
Firstly, they also wanted to see up close what Shien had after becoming a noble. Secondly, Limjow had already established a friendly relationship with him, even if it was only on the surface.
If Limjow didn't come, it would be a clear indication to Sean that all the friendly actions he had done before were just an act.
Moreover, Barry also wanted to confuse Shien, making him think that he did not regard him as an enemy and was ready to become a friend, so that he would lower his guard against him. that was why he wanted to attend this banquet.
It could also be seen that tonight 'banquet was actually full of all kinds of plans and schemes.
Not all the people present would stand on Sean's side, and these people might not necessarily be Sean's connections. It was also possible that some people were secretly planning to stab Sean in the back, which was why they appeared here.
Of course, no matter what, these considerations were not something that outsiders could guess.
In the eyes of outsiders, this would only become a bargaining chip to add to Shien's legend.
So, Barry and Limjow were led by a beautiful maid into Borztut's house.
After that, a few more marquises and dukes came one after another. The nobles were already numb to the sight of them.
At this point, the level of this banquet was comparable to the banquets of the famous dukes' families, or even better.
Until …
"That … That's the royal carriage!"
In the midst of exclamation, everyone saw the arrival of a luxurious carriage.
And in this carriage, a group of people came down one after another.
"It seems that we are a little late."
The kingdom's first princess, Liadella looked at the bustling Borztut's house and revealed a sweet smile.
"Your Highness, please watch your step."
Shana, the genius of the Veradi family, the daughter of the deputy leader of the Royal Guards and now the first princess's knight, reminded her master who was wearing a dress and high heels.
"There are so many people here. I should be able to see many familiar faces, Alidia."
The current king of the kingdom, Ansiforg, who had just conferred the title of nobility to Shien today, spoke to the knight beside him with a gentle smile.
"Your Majesty, be careful of the crowd. Just don't let the thieves take advantage of you."
The head of the Elbe family, the leader of the Royal Guards, the kingdom's legendary knight, and the number one human powerhouse, Alidia said calmly, as if the luxurious and noisy surroundings had nothing to do with him.
Of course, Rosie was also here.
Today, Rosie had changed from her palace dress to a pure white dress. She didn't bring her sword, but wore a veil on her head, making her look like a holy goddess who had descended to the mortal world. She was so beautiful that it was intoxicating.
The nobles in the surroundings were dumbfounded. Even the clamor and bustle seemed to have been suppressed at this moment, causing the entire place to be filled with a sense of amazement.
"Your Highness Rosie …"
"Oh my god …"
"So beautiful …"
Many noble young masters didn't even notice that the wine glasses in their hands had slipped.
This included Limjow, who had been obediently following beside Barry. When he saw Rosie, he was also dazed.
However, Rosie didn't care about all of this. She just quietly looked at the Porztutt family. After a while, she suddenly smiled.
That smile was enough to captivate all living things.
Unfortunately, this smile wasn't for anyone present.
Its appearance was because the main character of this banquet had finally arrived late and appeared here.
"Welcome, everyone. Please forgive me for not going out to greet you."
From the direction of the mansion, a tall and straight figure slowly walked over and entered everyone's sight.
Who else could it be other than Shien?
This person who hated troublesome things had stayed in his room until just now. Even when the duke and other important ministers of the kingdom arrived, he didn't come out to greet them.
A viscount actually put on such a big show. There must have been people who were dissatisfied.
However, now that the royal family had arrived, and it was a whole family, even if Shien found it troublesome, he had to come out to greet them.
No, it should be said that he had to come out to greet Rosie no matter what.
When the people of Anxi saw Shien coming out, they naturally smiled one after another.
"I came uninvited. I wonder if you welcome me? Porztutt? "
It was rare for Anxi to make fun of him.
"I hope I didn't scare you."
Lia even said such words in a somewhat mischievous manner.
"Of course I was scared." Shien shrugged. Even in front of the royal family, he didn't have any stage fright, nor did he humble himself. He casually said, "It's impossible for me not to be scared since the royal family has given me so much face."
As he spoke, Shien even glanced at Alidia and Shana.
One of them had a paralyzed face as usual, without any expression, while the other was staring at Shien, as if he was lamenting something. It was a stark contrast.
Shien didn't respond to them.
He knew that although both of them represented influential families, and were ranked first and second in the royal capital, they were here as guards and had no intention of befriending Shien.
It would be better to say that it was still a question whether these two knew how to make friends.
Hence, Shien ignored them and looked straight at Rosie.
This was the first time Shien saw Rosie in a formal dress.
And to be honest, he was also stunned.
After taking a look at the most precious treasure of the kingdom, Shien made fun of her without any scruples.
"Dressed up so beautifully, aren't you afraid of being snatched home?"
Shien's joke stunned the people around him.
Obviously, this was the first time someone dared to tease Rosie like this in public, right?
Rosie rolled her eyes at him.
"Are you sure someone would dare to snatch me away?"
Rosie replied with a smile.
There wasn't the slightest hint of anger, and even an unprecedented gentleness, which made the hearts of many noble young masters ripple.
But...
"Yes." Shien's words were shocking, and he said without hesitation, "Like me, I just want to snatch you away and not let you go back tonight."
This dead man even dared to say such words in public.
Rosie was speechless.
As for the others, they were already stunned.
Who dared to speak to the most precious treasure of the kingdom like that?
Did he think that tomorrow's sun was too dazzling?
Not only did Shien do it, but he did it in front of the rest of the royal family and nearly half of the nobles in the royal capital.
This made many of the nobles angry, and they wanted to scold him.
But Rosie didn't even give them such a chance.
"If you have the ability to do it, then I'm looking forward to it."
Rosie looked at Shien, a little annoyed.
"Then I'll try my best."
Shien smiled and changed the topic.
Seeing Shien and Rosie chatting and laughing without any ill feelings, many noble young masters were furious, and wanted to rush up and stop them.
Limcho's heart twitched, and his face was slightly twisted.
Barry frowned, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood.
Even Ancey and Lia looked at Shien and Rosie in surprise.
It was the first time they saw the two of them chatting and laughing without any ill feelings.
Of course, it was also the first time they saw Rosie like this.
Seeing Rosie's much softer and more relaxed demeanor, Ancey and Lia had waves of thoughts, and the way they looked at Shien changed a little.
The others naturally did the same.
Only then did they understand that the relationship between Shien and Rosie might be better than they thought.
Although they already knew that the two of them were close, but seeing this scene with their own eyes, everyone felt it was real, and it made many people feel a sense of crisis.
Barry and Limcho were one of them.
They realized that they might not be able to let this situation continue.
Otherwise, the most precious treasure of the kingdom, the most beautiful and the most precious flower of the human race, would be taken away by this adventurer who came out of nowhere.
"We have to take action."
Many people had such an idea.
They didn't know that very soon, Shien would become the person that the whole world couldn't afford to offend.
…
Royal City, Demons Embassy.
At this time, led by Jacinta, a group of Demons in the embassy gathered in the hall, and knelt on the ground, welcoming a lady.
She appeared so abruptly, and it was as if she had taken away the magic and light of the world in an instant, entering everyone's sight.
"I haven't been to the human world for a long time."
She looked at the horizon with some nostalgia.
"Lady Sylar."
Jacinta immediately came forward to greet him respectfully.
"Are you ready?"
The Demons girl named Sylar glanced at Jacinta and went straight to the point.
"Yes, we can leave at any time."
Jacinta responded respectfully without the slightest complaint.
"Good."
Sylar nodded.
Then, the Demons girl turned towards the direction of the noble district, and revealed a smile.
"Let me see what kind of man is able to make my arrogant sister look at him in a different light."
Here, the true peak of the Demon World had arrived.
