Lant followed the palace baron into the side hall and finally saw the kings of the Dragon Kingdom, Dusen Bai Xiao and Li Qi Red Dragon.
The king has a plump face, piercing light blue eyes, a golden crown on his head decorated with animal shapes, and a red dress with many medals arranged on it.
His Majesty the King of the Golden Knights is nearly 4 meters tall and looks like a giant to Lant.
In comparison, Prince Li Qi, who is a high knight, seems very kind. The prince's face is very close to His Majesty, but his eyes are beautiful golden, which shows his identity as a dragon.
Prince Li Qi was wearing a crimson dress with the newly awarded Duke's badge and the Dragon Kingdom's red-ground starburst seal, paired with a sapphire-colored ribbon, which was very conspicuous.
Lant, who was awarded a title for his military exploits, was the first noble to be canonized. When he walked in front of the king, he felt the pressure brought by the Golden Knight.
Lant knelt down on one knee, Wang Gang tapped Lant's left shoulder with his scepter, and the canonization of Lant was over.
"Well done. The whole kingdom has not had a big victory like yours for a long time." King Duson whispered to Lant after Lant stood up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Feeling the huge pressure, Lant was almost speechless.
"Lielle told me, you young people should communicate more with each other." After Dusen finished this meaningless sentence, the king's attendant took Lant to Duke Li Qi's side.
"Viscount Lant, it's nice to meet you. I hope we can chat more at the lunch later." Li Qi's smile was friendly and graceful. It was the result of good palace training.
"As you wish, Your Highness." In contrast, Lant could only pretend to smile.
After being granted the title, Lant was led directly to a banquet hall by the palace baron, where Duke Li Qi had his luncheon. Li Qi and the king still had at least two hours of travel ahead of them. Before the banquet actually started, Lant You can only chat with acquaintances in the banquet hall.
The banquet hall is located on the periphery of the palace. It is an independent circular building with a dome. After entering, there is a buffet table on the periphery of the building, some tables in the middle, and a venue for performances and dancing in the middle.
In this banquet hall, which was several times larger than the ballroom of the Lanlong family, Lant met everyone he knew in the royal capital, including his own knights Dugan, Tierney, Medici, Antreq, and even those in charge of the banquet hall. John Master, who was taking the Knight Qualification Examination, was also present.
So many acquaintances appeared at the same time, making Lant feel that a conspiracy against him was underway.
Master John was holding a new novel to communicate with Lant’s boss, Earl Corbin, “Captain, I’ve been reading a new book recently, “The Legend of the Dragon Knight of Surdak”, which is the version of “The Legend of Master Jijia” from that year. The latest work by the author, there are elves and succubi in it.”
"Look at this illustrated edition, how beautiful it is!" As he spoke, John turned to the illustration of the succubus. He didn't dare to touch the page for fear of breaking it.
"Old John, your hobbies have really not changed at all." Corbin said with a smile, his eyes never leaving the illustration. "You just love illustrated heroic stories."
"Hey, Captain, haven't you changed too?" John was not to be outdone, "I just like to read stories about a little knight marrying a noble's daughter and becoming a big lord."
The two old guys with gray beards were really beaming and happy when they communicated, which made the acquaintances around them want to pretend not to know them.
"Duggan, isn't it my imagination? There are so many teachers from schools here?" Lant went to Dugan specifically to confirm the purpose of bringing all the teachers from Blue Dragon School here.
"You read that right, all teachers with big noble surnames have received invitations." Dugan also frowned, mentally counting the people present.
. . . . .
"Hahaha, Gu Leiya, you are really joking. Who can be more suitable than you?" "That's right, you and Li Qi also grew up together."
Amidst the chatter, a group of women in red dresses walked into the banquet hall. They were like a burst of flames, igniting the atmosphere in the banquet hall.
There are 16 women in this group. The leader is 2.6 meters tall, about the same as Li Qi Lanlong, who has just been promoted to Grand Knight. She has brown hair, heroic brows, and eyes like light blue gems. As soon as she enters The hall scanned the whole place and stayed on Lant for a few seconds.
"Sir, that lady is His Royal Highness Li Qi's wife, the newly-consecrated Duchess, the Grand Knight Susie Lanyuan," Dugan said quietly to Lant.
"Great Knight?" Lant was a little surprised, "This capital is just different."
"Susie Lanyuan is one of the few talented knights in the entire empire. It is said that her mount is a griffon."
"Rich!" After Lant came here, he had never seen a flying monster.
The women behind Su Xi came in together, surrounded by the taller Gulea Blue Dragon. The tall dragon girl blushed and lowered her head. Suddenly, she heard a girl around her talking about "Galloping Horse Plains" and raised her head. But he saw Lant Galloping Horse looking at him, and his face turned redder.
"The people surrounding Gu Leia behind are her maids?" It was the first time that Lant saw Gu Leia being so shy, so he could only continue to ask Dugan.
"Look what you said, those are Duke Li Qi's concubines." Dugan spoke in such a calm tone that even Lant was a little surprised.
"Are they all his concubines?" Lant thought to himself. If he had known that he had given Li Qi some tonics at that time, even the great knight would not be able to deal with 16 female demon wielders taking turns.
"No wonder" Lant murmured in a low voice. No wonder the high-ranking nobles must be of high rank, otherwise their own harem would not be able to cope with it.
"My lord? The Duchess is here," Dugan reminded Lant, and then quickly saluted Su Xi.
Susie Lanyuan's steps were clearly in line with court etiquette, but to Lant, she looked like a knight eyeing an opponent.
"Viscount Lant?" Before reaching Lant's side, Su Xi took the initiative to say hello with a smile.
"Duchess, hello to you." Lant used the most standard court etiquette as much as possible, for fear that the Duchess would find fault.
"Li Qi always told me that you stood up in front of the barbarians, which is really an example for the nobles of the kingdom."
"It's my honor." Lant had an illusion that the Duchess was not good at making excuses. Her complimenting herself so bluntly meant that things were going to be more troublesome for her later.
"Li Qi and I are both sorry that people like you didn't stay in the capital." Su Xi's eyes were fixed on Lant, as if waiting for him to speak.
Naturally, Lant didn't dare to speak, so he could only smile and try to get through the time.
"But it doesn't matter that you are far away from the Galloping Horse Plains. I have a cousin who is also your classmate at Blue Dragon School. She is now a junior knight." Susie looked at a girl not far away, "She has always been I want to get to know you, I will introduce her to you in a moment.”
