Chapter 7 The curtain opens

"I can't believe that I could even arm five more Knights of the Dawn with this dress, and he strangled me so much that I could barely breathe......"

Early in the morning on the day of the founding of the People's Republic of China, before dawn, Leo was dragged up by his two butlers and Professor Pericles, who was a staff officer

Finally relieved with the help of a cold towel, but after an order from Old Garin, more than a dozen maids rushed in with a full set of dresses specially made for this day, which was the complaint from Leo

However, as soon as the subconscious words fell, the professor beside him, who was the chief designer and chief director of the ceremonial general staff, was immediately unhappy, coughed lightly, and said in an unusually serious tone

"Your Highness, this is an extraordinary day, you represent not only yourself, but the entire Stormwind City, the entire northern territory of hundreds of thousands of people, in my opinion, not to mention the equipment of 5 knights, even 50 and 500 cannot be compared, this is not the time to calculate the cost, you must know that there are ...... in history"

Covering his forehead in pain, Leo and the two empathetic butlers looked at each other helplessly, and had to start to endure the professor's earnest teachings again...... And it's the kind that can't be refuted, and it must be admitted that although the professor is verbose, everyone is right, this is the most cruel thing!

Finally, when Professor Pericles had spoken for a long time and drank water, Batar, who was helping by Xiaoyi's side, finally found an opportunity to interject

"My lord, Your Excellency the Duke of Lancaster, Your Excellency the Marquis of Hohenzollern, Your Excellency the Marquis of Alston and the main members of the family have been waiting in the hall, and in addition, all the nobles of the Northern Territory have also arrived in the past few days, and they are also waiting for your arrival."

After a few pulls on his awkward collar, Leo hurriedly stretched out his hands in the professor's dissatisfied eyes, and no longer dared to move, for fear of leading to another nagging, and nodded with difficulty after hearing Batal's words

"I see, you can go over now, dear Batar, I am afraid that there will be any omissions and mistakes on the part of the newly recruited servants, please wait patiently for a while, I will be over soon, and before that, any requests from them must be met and carried out without compromise, understand?"

"As you wish, my lord!"

Soon after Batar bowed away, with the cooperation of Leo, a group of people finally finished putting on the dress, and old Garin personally tied the last button for Leo, and waved the maids out before smiling

"My lord, your demeanor today is not even more than that of the gods, and people will remember this day because you ......"

Gently hugging the old man beside him, who had been giving wholeheartedly without complaining, Leo promised in a low voice

"I will not disappoint your expectations, take care of your body, my dear friend, and then perhaps you will see a more brilliant day in the near future......

The old man smiled and shook his head and looked at Leo kindly, reaching out to carefully smooth a few folds on his sleeves, and opened his mouth with some reproach

"My lord, you are now known as a big man in the name of His Highness, please don't do the above things lightly, I am just your servant, and it will damage your majesty and prestige if it spreads like this!"

Nodding first, then shaking his head, Leo said in a serious tone

"I accept your opinion, my friend, but you are wrong, in my heart you are all my family and nothing else!"

Turning around, he also smiled heartily at Professor Pericles, Leo took the silver scepter that symbolized status and the ruling power of the Northern Lords from the other party's outstretched hands, and took a deep breath

"Let's go, my friends, let us accept the baptism of this era, and do something for this era in the same way!"

**********************

The living room of the Grand Duke's Mansion, which was spacious enough on weekdays, was almost filled by dozens of nobles at this time, but fortunately, the capable servants opened the doors and windows early, and lit a large amount of incense at any cost, so that the air in the room was not so turbid

Viscount Sebastian is discussing fashion, history and women with the Marquis of Alston in earnest...... It seems that the two men who care about quality of life have found common ground, and the Marquis of Hohenzollern and his Earl cousin are constantly talking about the important things of the family for several years, sometimes laughing, sometimes secretly sad......

As for Antonis, relying on his status as an earl and his grandfather with a prominent status, he was pulling a group of small nobles from the northern territory to brag desperately about the days of the imperial capital and Leo together, whether it was an unfortunate fall, a despicable ambush in front of the knight academy, or a bloody battle in front of the gate of the imperial capital, all of which successfully caused the big barons to exclaim......

Viscount Lester Crester and Tron, who was only a Lord, two of Leo's earliest friends and descendants, were sitting cautiously opposite the Duke of Lancaster at this time, answering some of the Duke's questions very respectfully

The ladies of the family, including Elena, were carefully arranged to live in a private living room not far from the neighborhood, but seeing the door that often opened the cracks, and the joking and laughter coming from inside, it was known that a certain girl had been anxious to see Leo......

Of course, unlike the warm but relaxed atmosphere in the house, since yesterday all the servants of the Grand Duke's Palace, even the soldiers who had been temporarily recruited, had become the busiest personnel

The gifts given to Leo by all the nobles were even directly lined up from the gate of Stormwind City to the gate of the Grand Duke's Mansion at the most concentrated, which successfully aroused the admiration and onlookers of the residents, and also made the people in charge of transportation and vigilance miserable, but fortunately, now the transportation and warehousing work has finally come to an end

**********************

"Ahem!"

An impeccable cough succeeded in attracting the attention of the chattering and laughing people in the hall, and seeing the astonishing gazes of the nobles, the butler Old Garin was not reserved, and his hands with white gloves were crossed on his abdomen, and he looked around slightly, and shouted in an aria tone

"Distinguished gentlemen, and beautiful ladies, please be quiet for a moment and come to greet the master here, the lord of Stormwind City and White Moon City, the hope of all the lands and people of the Northern Realm, the founder of the new Duchy in the future, and His Royal Highness the Storm Grand Duke Leo, who has been approved by His Majesty the Emperor's previous Emperor and the House of Lords!"

At the sound of Old Garin's words, Leo dressed in full costume and holding a scepter in his right hand, accompanied by Professor Pericles, the chief advisor in the rear, walked slowly into the hall with an incomparably graceful step, even the exact same distance, with a charming smile on his face......

At the same time, under the leadership of the Duke of Lancaster, everyone stood up and applauded warmly, and almost all of them had a look of pride on their faces, and at this moment, even as witnesses, they were filled with excitement, because soon, a new principality would be born on the continent again!
