Lester Brewer, a chubby man, wore a crappy men's dress, cheap brown leather shoes, and a delicately packaged red invitation. He walked towards the city center step by step.

In order to save money, he did not rent a carriage, but went on foot.

At this time, the snow on the city streets has begun to melt slightly, and the snow and dust mix together and turn into muddy water.

Luckily, Lester Brewer was a very nimble fat man, carefully avoiding pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages, as well as mud-rich traps to keep his shoes and trousers from getting stained.

But no matter how careful he was, he tried to avoid the muddy water in the streets, and the passing carriages were not polite at all.

After dodging the mud splashed by the wheels of the carriage a few times, Lester Brewer was struck by a carriage speeding from a dead end in his field of vision, staining his shoes and trouser legs.

The trouble-ridden carriage went away, leaving the fat man in his place.

"Bastard! Oops, you shouldn't have saved that money! Lester, the little fat man, looked at his shoes and trouser legs, which had been splashed with mud, and wanted to cry without tears.

He had to spend a few more copper coins to buy a linen handkerchief at a grocery store next to the street, and laboriously wiped the hem and upper of his trousers and shoes.

It's just that this cleaning method can only barely wipe off the stains, and the dark trouser legs and the surface of the leather shoes have turned a dirty gray.

The little fat man Lester Brewer's temperament was not very good before, and after this experience, his temperament looks even worse.

Lester Brewer was a little annoyed at this moment, he was so angry that he coughed violently a few times, and his big chubby face turned red from the violent coughing.

Ever since he started working in the coking coal production area, Lester Brewer, the little fat man, has suffered from a dust-induced asthma.

The disease causes a person to cough frequently and is difficult to cure until they are lying on the coffin board.

Lester Brewer took a deep breath, calmed down, and barely suppressed the urge to cough in his body.

In this era, the value and labor of people are no longer the same as the rural life of the past, and in the cities, high-intensity labor concentrated in a small area has become commonplace.

And because of this environment and high-intensity labor, it has become a common thing to suffer from some kind of disease.

In this process, the value of people is increasingly squeezed out.

Because of this delay, the little fat man Lester Brewer's speed of movement slowed down significantly.

This time, he walked from Forson Street to the heart of Ocean City, the private residence of Duke William Tyrande, about ten minutes slower than expected.

When he could see William Tyrande House, Lester Brewer glanced at the striking clock tower in the city centre.

The glowing minute hand on the bell tower points to about 7:10 p.m.

Lester Brewer breathed a sigh of relief that it wasn't too late.

The street where William Tyrande's private residence is located is the central axis of the city of "Ocean City", which is very close to the royal palace of the Kingdom of Eritvin.

William Tyrande's private residence is located 300 meters from the gate of the royal palace, and it can be said that it was built at the gate of the palace of the kingdom of Yelitvin.

Before William Tyrande came to power, the site was originally a plaza and was forbidden to build any buildings.

Since William Tyrande took sole control, the ban has naturally become annulled.

From the beginning of the groundbreaking a few years ago to the complete completion a month ago, the cost of construction has been huge. 315 Chinese Network

Although this private mansion is not at all as large as the royal palace in terms of size, its decoration and construction are up-to-date, and its decoration and living comfort are far more luxurious and comfortable than those of the royal palace of hundreds of years ago.

The inside of the dome is frescoed by the master of the same art, and the outside of the dome is covered with gold leaf.

Even the frames of all the windows are made of countless amber stones that are tightly stitched together with fish gelatin honey, and the amber stones of the same color are like a whole.

It was in this way that Duke William Tyrande declared who held the wealth and power of the country, and that the old royal palace of the Kingdom of Eritwin was obsolete.

Incidentally, this luxurious private mansion will also be responsible for welcoming Princess Lilina Sain Allison back in the near future, and will serve as a new house for the wedding ceremony of the Duke and the Princess.

Probably no girl would refuse to hold a marriage ceremony in such a house.

Of course, the premise is that the person to marry must be in line with the wishes of the person.

Lester Brewer, the little fat man, was so cranky that he walked into the door of the mansion, where several guards were checking the invitations one by one.

"General Milos, please come in, please come in."

"Oh, it's Lady Falena from the XX Chamber of Commerce, Eun, please come in."

"Well, Mr. Master of the Totmont Gorge Manor, welcome to the banquet of the Duke."

"Mr. Factorye, pipes are not allowed at banquets, but snuffboxes are allowed."

.............

Several guards greeted these people with smiling faces, and the little fat man at the end of the line began to feel weak as he looked at the people rushing in front of him.

The group of people in front of them are either well-dressed and low-key and noble, or they are high-profile and flamboyant nouveau riche.

And, most importantly, they were accompanied by servants or maids, and these personal servants followed their masters.

And Lester Brewer, the little fat man in crumpled and a little dirty cheap clothes, couldn't help but start to feel weak.

The guards checked the invitations at the door and whether the guests were carrying weapons, and they were quite efficient.

In just ten minutes or so, the people in front of Lester Brewer were almost in.

There were fewer and fewer people in front of him, and the little fat man Lester Brewer was clutching the invitation a little weakly, and he began to get nervous, and the more nervous he was, the more he wanted to cough.

"Ahem!"

"Sir, please show me your invitation."

Lester Brewer immediately handed over the invitation.

One of the guards took the invitation, he opened it, and looked at the name and portrait on the invitation, which did not match the little fat man in front of him at all.

"Huh?" The guard frowned and touched the musket at his waist.

Lester Brewer was shocked, he immediately nodded his head, and explained sincerely: "I am Lester Brewer, the younger brother of Mr. Garas Brewer, and my brother is busy today, so he didn't come. Let my brother do it for me. Oh! You can flip through the roster, which should also have portraits of the relatives of the guests, and you will know it as soon as you flip through it. ”

The guard let go of his hand on the musket, and he frowned as he looked up and down at the respectful little fat man in front of him.

The guard laughed, and he said, "I won't let you in, this gentleman!" ”
