After a week of turmoil, it was finally time for the banquet to begin.

The night before, the finance minister from the Imperial City, Duke Michaelson, arrived at the castle.

He was accompanied by the First Prince, and the Fourth Princess, Jason Kaicano and Sheryl Kaicano.

This made Rollin very surprised. He did not expect the fourth princess to come along.

Fortunately, Clement’s castle was spacious enough, so there were not too many problems in terms of living.

On the day of the banquet, the castle had already been decorated.

The three Viscounts in the earl’s territory had already sent gifts early in the morning.

This was a tradition in the Vanolan Continent. Gifts had to arrive before people, otherwise, people and gifts would come together and there would be very little etiquette.

The Barons below that had to pay more attention to etiquette. They had to send their gifts after the Viscount nobles had finished sending their gifts.

All the servants of each Baron family would wait patiently under the arrangements of the manager of the Clemente family.

If the Viscount who belonged to them did not send gifts to the Earl, it meant that the relationship between the two families was very unexpected. They had to bring all the gifts back directly in front of the family members of the count.

Therefore, the Barons who were at the lowest position of the noble class had a very difficult time. Every step they took was like dancing on a sword.

There were three Viscounts in the territory of Earl Clemente. They were Macmillan, Lewis, and Becky.

The Barons did not need to go through the Emperor. The Earl had a total of six Barons’ authority. A Viscount had two Barons’ authority.

Originally, the Clemente family had six Barons, but because the family was constantly being assassinated, six were directly reduced to two. Rollin did not have time to deal with these matters.

The Macmillan family’s Barons were Leiden and Duval. The Lewis family’s Barons were Beesemer and Klitzens, and the Becky family’s Barnard and Norris.

Along with Clemente, there were only two Barons left, Steele and Blake. There were a total of eight Barons.

Among the five titles of Duke, Marquis, and Earl, Earl was actually the most powerful one, because they all controlled the lives of the people in a territory.

The Marquises and Dukes above were not as comfortable as the Earl, because most of the Marquises were relatives of the King’s bloodline and did not have the power to control a territory. The Duke could only be an official in the Imperial Court and could not control a territory.

Therefore, as long as they were not in the Imperial Capital, the Earls were the most comfortable titles in this land.

Every year, they only needed to complete the small tasks assigned to them by the Empire. No one could punish them for anything they did.

Even the Marquises and Dukes needed to curry favor with them, because every Earl had vast land and endless wealth.

This was the reason why the people of the Vanolan Continent would rather be Earls than Dukes. It was also the method that Kaicano had developed to prevent rebellions.

Below the Earl was the Viscount. They did not have much authority, and all of them were managing the towns in the Earl’s subsidiary cities.

Not only did they need to be managed, they also needed to listen to the Earl’s orders to appoint the city lord.

Although they seemed to be living very comfortably, they were restricted by development everywhere. Therefore, as long as the Earl of this territory did not die, they would never be able to stand out.

It was precisely because of this wonderful balance that the situation in the Kaicano Empire had been favorable for the past few hundred years.

At noon, everyone came to the banquet hall.

Because the Duke and the Prince were present, no one except Rollin could stand with them.

After Rollin gave his thanks and congratulatory speech, the banquet began. Everyone turned their eyes to Rollin, who was walking down the stairs.

They wanted to confirm if this person had already recovered his magic root.

Because this was originally a banquet to celebrate the recovery of his magic root, Rollin did not hold back and directly displayed his true strength.

A huge wave of magic power pierced through the clouds, and everyone present felt the pressure that surpassed that of a Saint Magister.

For a moment, discussions broke out in the audience.

“How is this possible!? Even if they started training from their mother’s womb, it’s impossible for them to have this kind of strength!”

Seeing this scene, the Finance Minister, Duke Michaelson, and the First Prince clapped their hands at the same time.

The First Prince, Jason Kaicano, could not help but praise, “As expected of the Clemente family. A few hundred years ago, Avilis single-handedly turned the tide.”

“I didn’t expect that a few hundred years later, the Clemente family would have another Rollin. This Avilis is probably going to change its name again in your hands and continue to be brilliant!”

Although the Finance Minister did not speak, after the First Prince finished speaking, he was the first to applaud. This was a clear proof of the interest between the two of them.

The three Viscounts below the stage, except for Rollin’s uncle, all had ugly expressions on their faces. This was because the First Prince completely wanted to form an alliance with Rollin.

At this time, the First Prince even helped Rollin to bring a cup.

Rollin immediately said respectfully to the First Prince, “How can I let you do these things, First Prince!”

The First Prince, Jason Kaicano smiled and patted Rollin’s shoulder with his wide palm. “I’m not here just to celebrate your magic root recovery!”

“The main purpose is still the mission Father gave me!”

“I’ll make use of this opportunity to announce this matter!”

“The Kaicano Empire will marry the Fourth Princess to Earl Rollin Clemente!”

“Everyone present, please raise your wine glasses for this wedding!”

As First Prince Jason Kaicano raised his glass, everyone present raised their wine glasses.

When this news spread out, it shocked everyone present!

Ever since such a thing had happened in the era of Clemente’s ancestor, Avilis… After so many years, was the Clemente family really going to rise up again!?

This celebratory banquet instantly made many people present feel uncomfortable in their hearts.

At night, the banquet ended, and only a few people were left in the room.

The Finance Minister, the First Prince, the Fourth Princess, and Rollin.

The First Prince took his Fourth Sister’s hand and handed it to Rollin. He instructed, “I have personally handed her over to you. Please treat my sister well!”

“If he is bullied here, as her big brother, I will definitely come and get even with you!”

On the other side, the Finance Minister handed the marriage certificate to Rollin and said, “From now on, Earl Rollin will be a relative of the Kaicano Emperor!”

“If you have any difficulties in the future, please feel free to look for me, Duke Michaelson!”

“As long as it can be done, I will not decline!” This was one of the few compliments that Duke Michaelson had in his life, and he even lowered his attitude.

Faced with this sudden marriage, Rollin instantly felt that something was wrong.

Even if he had suddenly displayed absolute magic power, they would not be so anxious to assume that he would have extraordinary achievements!

In fact, all of this was due to them defeat of Ipswich. During that war, Kaicano had directly lost the entire east.

Kaicano had no other choice, so he could only marry his two daughters to the two Earls, Mehiounes and Clemente.

Allow them to resist the threat from the east with all their might!
