C’s Legend In Another World - C102
This Fifth Prince was twenty years old, and was very young, he was also deeply favored by the Emperor. It was said that he was a strong competitor for the throne, so naturally, there were many participants in his birthday.
His grandfather was a Duke of the Empire, the richest governor of the Tina Province. Although his family’s influence was not as great as that of the Four Major Families, he was not far off from them, and he controlled nearly half of the empire’s air force, so no one dared to underestimate him. Rumors had it that if the Emperor died, the throne would be chosen from the other five princes and the main hall would be inherited.
Although Ferdinand had not been in the Capital for long, he had already hugged onto the thick and sturdy leg of the Fifth Prince, so he was not stingy with his praises. Peaceman’s opinion was that the Fifth Prince was young and haughty, and needed more practice to get rid of his. However, after meeting his that night, he had already known that this Fifth Prince was probably not as simple as it seemed.
He was dressed in the robes of a novice mage, and did not have the temperament of a noble who had received a good education. What was even more suspicious was that this fellow did not even have a carriage, so from the looks of the shoes on his feet, it was obvious that he was severely worn out. With one look, it was obvious that he was a master who often walked on two legs, which made the guard think that he was just an ordinary person who did not look too normal in terms.
Among the nobles, there was a secret that everyone knew. A person’s status was inversely proportional to the chance that his feet would touch the ground. The carriage was not only a form of transportation, but more importantly, it appeared as a symbol of status. So, I heard that even if the upper class went out, they would still have to take a bus to the toilet!
Looking at the three people behind him, their temperament was even worse than the previous one. Looking at their clothes collocation, they were typically from the slums, and looking at their empty-handed looks, they were completely different from those nobles who were driving large and small bags of carts to pull them. If they came to attend a birthday party, then why didn’t they bring a present with them!
After repeatedly verifying the quality of the invitation card and its workmanship, it was indeed not a fake. One of the guards asked, “Sir, may I know your name?”
When Ordinary heard this, he felt a sense of unhappiness. How could a dog look down on a person! He coldly snorted and said, “Don’t tell me you think that I stole this invitation card?”
The guard smiled with his skin but not his flesh as he said, “Sir, God of Light is the witness. This is what you said, not me. I did not express any opinions.”
Rudav, who was behind Ordinary was very angry, took a step forward and said: “Mister Gatekeeper, what kind of attitude is that! Is that how your master let you entertain his guests!? ”
The guard’s expression looked even more like he deserved a beating, so he chuckled and said: “Sir, we will naturally welcome the guests, but I’m afraid that some unknown fellow might pretend to be our prince’s guest, so if we offend in any way, please forgive us.” Besides, the four of you only have one invitation card. I wonder who is the owner and who is the follower? Or was it an invitation for four of you? ”
“These three are my friends. We don’t have any servants or followers here.”
After the guard heard this, he said with a doubtful expression, “Gentlemen, then I am truly sorry. Today is the birthday of our Prince, and the guests are all nobles of high status. We absolutely cannot allow them to be harassed. If you have lost your invitation at home, it would be best to take it. Of course, if you feel that it is too late, you can take it as a carriage.”
After saying this, the guards at the entrance were on guard, waiting to beat him up in case they didn’t listen to his advice. Yuri’s nose almost puffed out smoke after hearing this. Although they were very polite, the meaning behind those words were very obvious. Just as he was about to get angry, Pingfan reached out and patted him with a faint smile, “Forget it, forget it. Then, let’s go back. At worst, I’ll treat you guys to a good meal to make up for it.”
At this point, the three of them could speak freely. Originally, they had wanted to meet with ordinary people to see what the Imperial Family’s banquet looked like, even if it was ordinary, it didn’t matter, since they had no plans to have some sort of social interaction with each other during the banquet, so they agreed readily.
Who told them to wear such rags? It was understandable that some of the guards had their eyes on them, but why quarrel with them. The four of them were originally here for a meal, so if they couldn’t get in, then they could just go somewhere else to eat.
Just as the four of them turned to leave, a luxurious dragon carriage drove up to the front of the door, and on the carriage, there was a dragon symbol that the guards could recognize immediately. The carriage belonged to Leine Family, and was originally meant for Patriarch Reinhardt, but now that there were dragon carriages sent in under the name of two dragons, the carriage became used by the juniors, but from the clan emblem, it was easy to identify them. Seeing that the carriage had two guards looking at them, the guards quickly opened the door and entered the carriage.
To the guard’s surprise, the carriage came to a halt, and the door opened, and Tiffany jumped out. Tonight, she was wearing a dress full of golden silk and gems shaped like a bird of prey, with a golden peacock crown on her head and a jewel like a peacock’s eye in her mouth. She looked lively and noble.
blinked his eyes playfully at him, and he immediately understood that Tiffany was not Tiffana, so she asked him: “Are you here to participate in the banquet as well? “Why don’t you go in?”
Without waiting for ordinary words, Uri said with a face full of smiles: “Ah, praise the God of Light, Miss Tiffana, you are as beautiful as a goddess today, my name is Ulysses, we are all ordinary friends, because we dressed simply, the guards of those powers do not allow us in.”
After Tiffany heard this, she chuckled and pointed to something ordinary, “Don’t tell me you didn’t know that you need to wear a bit more for the banquet? I’ve never seen a guy like you wearing a mage robe and the three of you, this outfit works together like a nouveau riche. No wonder they stopped you.”
Her few words caused the three of them to feel uneasy, but it didn’t really matter to them. Tiffany asked the driver of the carriage to tell the guards that the person in front of him was the distinguished Count of the Empire. Although the title of Boyan didn’t sound good, he was still a Count. Under the surprised gazes of the gatekeepers, the four of them climbed into the Levin family’s carriage and entered the manor.
After they got in the car, Tiffany laughed at Ordinary Peak, and Ordinary Peak said while no one was looking: “Why did you come out today?”
Tiffany said, “Aren’t you supposed to be a model? During the day, my sister’s beautiful clothes made people envious. Now it’s my turn. ”
Ordinary could only smile bitterly and shake his head. “It’s not appropriate for you to wear this set of clothes. It would look good for a steady, arrogant person to wear this set of clothes. You’re too naughty, wearing this set of clothes is a bit unusual.”
After Tiffany heard this, she immediately raised her chin and spoke in a proud and aloof manner: “Is it like this?” She nodded her head and thought to herself, It’s indeed faster for a woman to turn hostile than flipping a book!
The manor was quite large, and the carriage lasted for another ten minutes. The scenery along the way was quite beautiful: a small bridge, water, green trees, red flowers, a typical royal garden. Finally, they passed by a flower bed and stopped in front of a magnificent main hall. As soon as they got off the carriage, a row of female servants came over and saluted them. Their movements were neat and orderly, and one could tell that they were used specifically to receive guests after years of training.
As soon as the welcoming lady entered the hall, normal people did not see anything else. The entire room was filled with people, and the moment the five of them entered, they immediately attracted everyone’s attention, the ordinary four’s unbearably elegant clothes made the Dragon Girl seem even more noble and elegant. Almost all the noble ladies’ gazes were attracted by Tiffany, and as for normal four of them, they were automatically brought down to the status of servants and servants.
As they cheered, two girls who looked about the same jumped over and grabbed onto Tiffany’s hands and shouted: “Big Sister Tiffana, you’re so beautiful tonight. Wow, your clothes are really as beautiful as yours, really enviable.”
Tiffany was smiling as she was pulled away by the two of them. She looked at the two girls normally and thought to herself that making their clothes look like a lolis should look good, but those who dared to call Dragon Girl big sister should not be ordinary people. Maybe it would be difficult to get them to be models.
A servant who looked to be in his forties came over and gave a slight bow. “The four of you, please follow me.”
Pingfan looked at him and said, “Where do you want to take us?”
The servant said, “Please rest in the side chamber. There will be someone to invite you to eat later.”
Yuri and the other two were no longer angry. Looking at the red-haired girl in the hall and then looking at the way they dressed, they felt that they were indeed out of place.
Just as he was feeling embarrassed, he suddenly heard someone shout: “You miscreant, look clearly, this is the count of the Slime that Emperor has personally bestowed upon us!”
After the servant heard this, he was taken aback. He thought to himself, so this fellow is the legendary pancake faced gangster. He really is cold! He quickly apologized and quickly left.
Ordinary turned his head to look and saw an elegant young man slowly walking over with an air of unparalleled elegance. Behind him were four beauties, each holding a box in their hands. It was unknown what was inside. Taking a closer look, he realized that he didn’t know who this fellow was.
While he was confused, this man smiled brightly and said, “Ordinary Count, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Solemn, my father is the Minister of Justice of the Empire. I have heard of your great name for a long time, it is my honour to be able to meet you today.”
So you are one of the famous Young Duke Zhuang, one of the four great young masters of Capital. These three are my friends, Ulysses, Rudav and Zhuang Bi.
The three of them greeted each other. When Zhuang Bi was introduced, they couldn’t help but look at him twice more, and asked with a smile: “This mister also has the surname Zhuang?”
Zhuang Bi said coolly: “What, other than you, everyone else from the Lan Jin family cannot have the surname Zhuang?”
With a solemn smile, he said, “You misunderstand me. I did not mean it that way.” As he spoke, he gave a slight bow to Pingfan and said, “Sir Count, I’ve wanted to visit you since a long time ago. I am honored to meet you today, and I feel very close to you as if I’ve been friends for many years.”
“Me too,” Ordinary said flatly. His apathy did not cause any displeasure, and the young master Zhuang talked for more than half an hour with his usual chatterbox, chatterbox, and chatterbox. He felt that although he was chatterbox, he was not annoying, so his attitude towards him was not as cold as before.
In the end, when it was about time to leave, she said with a solemn expression, “My friend, it’s very comfortable to chat with you. Now I have to go see the Prince. As he spoke, he bowed to Ordinary, then nodded to Yuri and the other two before entering with his four female servants.
Yuri asked, “Zhuang, aren’t you a branch member of the Lan family? Why don’t you tell him who you are? ”
Zhuang Bi raised his chin: “Hmph, just what kind of person am I, Zhuang Bi, to be able to live by the shadow of an ancestor and speak like a popinjay just like that!”
The three of them praised him repeatedly when they heard this, “You’re so ambitious. You’re just like a man!” Rudav asked: “Right, why was your branch out of the Zhuang family?” Zhuang Bi glared at him: You don’t care? “Boring bastard!” After which, he walked inside.
They stole a glance at him and saw no expression on his face. The three of them thought that he was indeed an ice monstrosity, and no one could tell even if they were afraid of him, just by looking at his expression, they would be able to tell that he was truly an ice monstrosity. Thus, the three of them imitated him and walked among the crowd with a straight face and coffin.
Ignoring the weird gazes of the crowd, Yuri and the other two walked over to the food table placed against the wall. There were all kinds of delicious food on the table, and when the customers saw the four of them coming over, they couldn’t help but move aside to make way for them.
There were too many people participating in the Fifth Prince’s banquet, so very soon, no one paid any more attention to the four of them.
“Your Highness Orix has arrived!” In the midst of the music, a group of young nobles entered the hall accompanied by a group of well-dressed Fifth Prince. The people in the hall automatically parted ways to welcome them, and when the Fifth Prince went to his side, they would ask and congratulate him unceasingly.
Fifth Prince looked around him, and everyone immediately quietened down. The music also stopped, and he laughed as he said: “Hehe, thank you so much for coming to my birthday party, I am very happy, and on this special day, I must thank my Royal Father and Master Concubine. Without them, it would have been impossible for me to come to this world, and I still need to thank you … If you don’t have a good time, please forgive us. Please don’t detain us too much.
He only knew how to say that it was good to eat, it was good to drink, and that it was good to eat. Look at this Prince, he was just blabbering on and on for a long time, but in the end, he could only say four words — it was good to eat, and drink!
Then someone shouted, “Now, let the ball begin.” The music immediately started playing. As the main character of the night, Orix’s eyes lit up as he walked over to Tiffany and bowed: “Miss Tiffana, you have shone brilliantly tonight, please allow me to invite you to your first dance.” As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation.
After Tiffany heard the ordinary words, the entire night was filled with arrogance. Now that she had seen the prince, she raised her chin and said: “Prince, it’s not like you don’t know that I can’t dance, how about I practice the sword with you?”
“Forget it. I don’t want you to die on such a happy day,” Odysseus said with a wry smile. In the aristocratic circle, as long as one had legs, one could walk. Other than a cripple, there was no one who could not dance, but Dragon Girl Tiffana was an exception, she had never danced with anyone before, and her excuse was that she could not dance, there was once a brave person who wanted to teach her. In the end, as soon as she started dancing, she was stomped flat by Dragon Girl, and from then on, no one dared to have any ideas about her.
He said to the two girls by Tiffany’s side: “My dear little sister, which one of you would be willing to accompany your pitiful big brother to dance for the first time?” The two girls were the apple of Emperor’s eye, Helen and Hai Li. The two of them were born the same mother, and there was only a difference of one year between the two of them.
Helen gently smiled as she lifted her skirt, bowed, and performed the first dance with Olivia. Afterwards, everyone began to look for partners to dance with. Of course, the number of pig hands that appeared in the dance was not something that could be counted; in the Empire’s aristocracy, this sort of thing was extremely normal, and no one would care about it.
Orix stopped after two dances, and under the guidance of the butler, he found Ordinary. Currently, the four of them were wrapping up a table, and the four of them were munching on it, when a dozen of young noble men and women around them stared at them in astonishment. When they saw how the four of them were eating, they couldn’t help but gulp down their saliva, thinking to themselves, how many days have passed since they last ate? Are these foods so tasty?
Seeing the four of them like that, Ferdinand who was beside Prince felt that although his current performance was very embarrassing, it fit his status very well. At this moment, Ordinary’s mouth was filled with meat. He held a chicken leg in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other. He was happily eating the meat. The three Yuri’s group were no longer polite.
Coughing lightly, Ferdinand came over and shouted: “Ordinary Count, quickly greet the Fifth Prince. Prince values you very much, so today, I specially invited you to his birthday banquet.”
Seeing that the prince had arrived, Yuri and the other two did not dare to act presumptuously anymore, and they hurriedly stood up to pay their respects. Orix nodded at them and sat opposite to them while laughing: “Mr. Pingfan, we meet again.
He then drank a mouthful of wine and swallowed the food in his mouth. Only then did he say: “Thank you very much for your invitation, Prince. The food and wine you have here are both pretty good, and suit my taste. Oh, right, let me introduce them to you. They are my brothers, and just like me, they are all people who came from small places and haven’t seen much of the world.
The Fifth Prince laughed and said: “It doesn’t matter, you are my friend, just my friend. I’m very happy to have you all here. ”
He wiped the oil off his hand and said, “Look at me, it’s your birthday. I haven’t given you a birthday present yet, so I specially prepared two gifts for you. I hope you like them.” As he spoke, he took out two items from the ring.
