The small building to the right of Libersil's house, which was built by the old man from the corner of the original garden for the Pearson family in the year Stern was born, looks a little shorter than the other two.

On the second floor of the small building was Stern's residence, and at this moment he had just changed into the dress of a third-class baron, and looked at himself in front of the large mirror in the room.

"It fits perfectly, Stern!"

Not far behind him, stood a woman wearing heavy makeup.

This is his mother: Irma Griffin, Charles's aunt.

The thick glamour couldn't hide the crow's feet at the corners of Irma's eyes.

Seeing her son's heroic and outstanding appearance, a proud tear welled up in the corner of her eye, seeping out along the wrinkles, and taking a piece of makeup.

Stern was tall, but he looked more like his mother in physiognomy, with slender eyebrows and a straight nose, and if it weren't for Pearson, he was born with a pair of small eyes and slightly high cheekbones, and he would have been a handsome young man.

"Mother, this is the craftsmanship of Jue Satin, the good things of the Swan family, of course it fits. ”

Stern turned around and shook the small shawl attached to his dress with joy, hoping to attract a gust of autumn wind and set off his heroic posture at the moment.

"That's what you were born to wear..."

Irma straightened Stern's collar again and whispered:

"Jue Satin's clothes are good, but they are more expensive, you said that the queen is really, the royal family is so rich, since they are all knighted, why can't they be made with clothes?"

"Forget it, our family can't afford it, and with the baron's practice in the future, we can also compare with my cousin's family. ”

As he spoke, Stern looked at the small building opposite, and could not hide the burning in his eyes, full of hope.

Irma carefully wiped the corners of her eyes in the mirror, and complained: "It's all your father's uselessness, if he hadn't been angry, the title of the family would not have been snatched away by your uncle, that's a first-class baron!"

The uncle's family inherited the title of the old man, and along with the relationship between the old man, both father and son can work as errands in the hot spring villa of the Bailu family, and the cousin was even ordered by the earl of Bailu to be a personal guard.

Stern was a little irritated by his mother's endless complaints, and he finally straightened his cuffs, turned to walk out of the room, only to see the door open rudely with a caustic question:

"What are you rubbing around, waiting for me to bring the title to your room?"

When Pearson returned home, he no longer wore that ugly smile.

finally invited a viscount to come, but Stern was not there at the critical moment, so he couldn't help but be angry.

"How much work did it take me to get on the big ship of Phoebe Bright? Now that someone has arrived, what about you? Hide here and wait for me to carry you down?"

The words were sour and mean, but Stern agreed without changing his face, and walked out quickly.

Outside the door, the old black man with his back was waiting there.

Stern squinted his small eyes and walked in front: "Heber, is Bright that magic family?"

The black old man was still dressed in black at home, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be a little deeper than two months ago, and as soon as he saw Stern come out, he quickly followed:

"That's right, a double lord, the second son inherited the first-class viscount, and the third son inherited the third-class viscount. ”

"Hmph, Viscount, in the end, it's just the shadow of the ancestors, if it weren't for the good life of his sister and married to the head of the Swan family, this so-called magic family would have gone downhill a long time ago. ”

Stern walked in front with his hands in his hands, and said with some contempt, as if he had just changed into an earl's dress.

The corner of the black old man's eyes twitched slightly, and then he flattered: "The little young master is only twenty years old now, and he is already a baron, and the little young master in the Libesil family is here, and he must be thriving." ”

This sycophant really made Stern very useful, and he nodded proudly, and then asked, "Are all the guests here?"

"It's all right, just wait for someone from the Judge Advocate General's Department to come. ”

In two sentences, the two of them had already come to the door of the lobby on the first floor, the old black had a bad reputation, and he couldn't show his face on this occasion, Stern casually relieved a few words, then put on a bright smile, pushed open the door and walked out.

"Look who's out, Stern, my buddy!"

"Stern, this dress looks so good!"

"Amazing, Stern..."

As soon as Stern appeared, a crowd of young people of similar age gathered around him, chattering and praising him.

"Brother Stern~"

The descendants of these noble families, Stern's childhood playmates, I don't know when some fancy ladies squeezed in, circling around Stern.

Occasionally, he met Stern's eyes, and they all lowered their heads shyly, and the affectionate appearance made Stern's mouth dry for a while.

After a little more frolicking, and seeing Pearson take Irma out of the small building, Stern politely got rid of the crowd, followed quickly, and walked with his parents to the back garden.

The guests, who were originally chatting with their own wine glasses, saw that a family of three came hand in hand, and came over one after another to send blessings and congratulatory messages.

The aristocratic lords were left to Stern to deal with, and Pearson shuttled among the merchants and mercenaries, chatting and laughing with ease.

Irma was surrounded by a group of wives to sell their daughters to be married, and the scene became a lot more lively for a while.

As the sky darkened, the garden was lit according to the arrangement of the open-air dinner, and the people moved swiftly and methodically, serving all kinds of drinks and refreshments to the guests who were gradually seated.

"Why hasn't anyone from the Judge Advocate General's Department yet?" Pearson enjoyed the star-studded treatment, but the long wait made him a little anxious.

Stern was much calmer, and while raising his glass to the distant guests, he comforted:

"I heard that the lord proposed to rebuild the Overseer, and there has been a lot of trouble at the meeting in the past two days, so it is not surprising that the meeting will be dismissed later. ”

As soon as Irma got rid of the encirclement of the wives, she came over and poured herself and her husband a glass of fruit wine: "It's better to come later, I heard that the official who confers the knighthood must be a nobleman, and I just invited him to stay and attend the dinner together, which is a rare fate." ”

When Pearson heard this, he nodded slowly, and his face really looked a lot better: "Hey, I just don't know which adult came to confer the knighthood, and I'm so ready to prepare..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to take the wine, drank most of the glass in one gulp, and thought in his heart that it was not easy to make friends with nobles, and it would be best if he could make more friendships along with the knighthood ceremony.

"It's better to be a viscount, in that case, in the future, the same third-class baron, Stern's weight can be heavier. Irma frowned and looked back at the ladies, as if she had just heard something of concern.

At that moment, a figure hurried through the garden and trotted towards it, the man Pearson had arranged to watch from the gate of the front yard.

Stern gestured to his subordinate from a distance, signaling him to move quietly, then turned to his father and said, "Look, isn't this coming?"

The subordinate walked over quickly, looking a little excited: "Second master, here, here......"

Pearson arranged for this person to wait and see in the front yard, just because he was sophisticated and steady, but he didn't expect that he would still look like he had never seen the market when the matter came, and when he saw that the guests around him had come over, he suddenly felt that his face was hot, and he lowered his voice and scolded:

"It's useless, it's frizzy to pass on a word, and my face has made you lose it! ”

The subordinate was reprimanded, but he was not depressed, but still looked excited, and his face was full of pride, he took a deep breath, raised his voice and replied:

"Yes, it's Earl West's car!"
