Chapter 252: It Turns Out You're Duang
The palace of the Bauhinia Empire is the largest and most gorgeous building in the imperial capital, with sixteen towering domes and twenty-four spires around it, the whole palace is a style of Baroque architecture, with luxurious tassels and broken edges, magnificent, dignified and elegant, in it, people can't help but have an impulse to worship in their hearts.
Although he is a high-ranking nobleman of the Bauhinia Empire, Du Ang has come to the palace since he was a child, and the number of times he has come to the palace is also limited, and he can count it on one hand.
Count McNus is no longer there, and the rise and fall of the entire McNus family is tied to Duon's body, and it is his obligation to participate in this normal activity among nobles, and it is also something he will do countless times in the future, such a life...... It is a normal state and a heavy burden, whether Du Ang wants it or not, for the continuation of the entire family, and for himself to always occupy a powerful position in the empire, Du Ang has no way to escape, no matter how reluctant he is, he must make a smiling face and welcome people, and go to hypocritical perfunctory.
By the time Duon arrived at the palace, many nobles had already arrived. This time, in order to entertain the envoys of the Byron Empire, he invited a total of twenty-four high-ranking nobles living in the imperial capital, and Duon was only one of them.
Strictly speaking, Duon has not inherited the title now, and he is not the Earl of McNus in the real sense, and he is not qualified to be invited to participate in this kind of matter involving two countries, and the reason why the eldest prince Powell wants Duon to come over. One is because of the relationship between him and Count McNuss - now that Count McNus has died, the eldest prince Powell is regarded as a nephew for Duon, thinking that he will soon inherit the title, and he can't always be outside the affairs of the royal family.
And the second point...... Among the envoys sent by the Byron Empire this time was a young man named Carter. He was so young that Powell didn't quite understand why His Majesty the Emperor of the Byron Empire would send him to the role of an envoy, for such a young envoy, it was really difficult for Powell, who was already in his forties, to find any common language to talk to him. Between two people, in addition to business. The generation gap is very obvious...... And this time among the high-ranking nobles who were invited to accompany the guests. Counting Duang, there are six of them, all of whom are about the same age as Carter, and with them present, presumably the conversation between the guests and the host will be more lively. At least after the business is finished, it will not be cold.
Of course, Du Ang didn't understand this kind of thinking very well. He was just very simple, Powell called him to come, and he came, and as for what role he was going to play in the banquet, Duon didn't think about it at all.
Just now, when he was about to leave the house, the famous tailor in the imperial capital brought Du Ang a newly sewn magic robe. Black in color, with many mysterious magical patterns embroidered with gold thread...... Of course, these so-called magic patterns are all fake, and they have no practical effect, just for the sake of good looks, after all, the big tailor is just a tailor, not a magician, and he can't do those really effective magic patterns at all, let alone him, even Du Ang doesn't know the true meaning of those magic patterns.
Moreover, this magic robe is made by a tailor, without any magic blessings, it looks good, but it is just ordinary clothes, and the magic robe that Du Ang used to wear can automatically change the size according to his figure, which this new magic robe can't do at all.
And except for Du Ang, the other nobles are wearing that kind of cockfighting aristocratic costumes, Du Ang stood among them, very eye-catching, some stand out from the crowd, but there is no way, I have said it before, Du Ang really doesn't want to wear that kind of rooster robe to walk around, fortunately, in the Bauhinia Empire, a nobleman with the status of a magician, it is normal to wear a magic robe on a formal occasion, which is nothing to blame.
Seeing Du Ang coming, the eldest prince Powell walked over very enthusiastically and gave Du Ang a big hug, this is the most noble etiquette between the nobles of the Bauhinia Empire to express their feelings, especially the identity of the eldest prince Powell, he just hugged Du Ang, but did not say anything, seeing Du Ang, he suddenly remembered his good friend who had become ancient, and couldn't help but feel sad, rubbed Du Ang's hair, and then sighed softly.
Du Ang still knew his mood well, didn't say anything, saluted, and then sat in his place under the guidance of the waiter.
Because he had not yet officially inherited the title, his status was not as high as those who had already inherited the title, and in order, Duon's position was arranged closest to the door, and beside him, there was only a young baron about his age, named Lawrence, who was a year older than Duon, but had already officially inherited the title of baron, and also served as a dispensable idle in the propaganda department of the imperial capital. So his status at this moment is a little higher than Du Ang......
With this little baron, Duon didn't have any dealings, and even before that, he didn't know this guy named Lawrence at all, and he had never heard of his name, in the Bauhinia Empire, the McNus family was the top few big families, and Count McNus himself was also a high authority, and there were so many nobles in the imperial capital, so many people couldn't know him. As Duon walked over, he nodded to the Baron Lawrence, and sat down next to him. And obviously, this Lawrence Baron didn't know Duon either, and seeing that Duon was a little reserved and didn't speak, the Lawrence Baron took the initiative to speak: "Hello, I'm Lawrence?" Bradley. With the title of a baron, may I ask your Excellency ......"
He also felt a little strange when he looked at Du Ang, because among so many nobles, Du Ang himself was wearing a magic robe......
Since people were polite to him, Du Ang couldn't help but answer, so he smiled and briefly introduced himself, but as soon as he said his name, he saw that Baron Lawrence's eyes widened: "Oh, it turns out that you are the young master Du Ang of the McNus family!" (To be continued......)
