Chapter Ninety-Seven: The "Good Fortune" of the Dias Family
Not only the Derian friars and Sylvia, who greeted the nobles, but the castle was also busy, and he didn't know if he hadn't prepared for the knighthood ceremony, but once it was really his turn to do this kind of thing, Carl would still have a big head.
But fortunately, Brother Derian has come up with a set of procedures, otherwise Carl would have to laugh out of his big teeth.
Carl's dress is also very exquisite, the purple waist ribbon makes his temperament refreshed, and the pointy shoes seem a little funny to him, but they look extravagant in the eyes of outsiders.
"I don't need this bird feather or anything...... Carl smacked his lips, the white feathers made him feel like a clown.
"My lord, this is the most popular style among the nobles." His court tailor was a little embarrassed, and he sewed according to the preferences of the great nobles.
"Okay." Carl sighed, his vision was a little out of place in this era after all, I heard that high heels are still for men, but fortunately he didn't have to wear something like that, otherwise he would have to die of embarrassment.
"Ha, it's only when you wear something like this that you look like a nobleman, not the beggar you used to be." Teresa came from behind the door, and today she was dressed in a beautiful red dress, and the jewels around her neck and ears made her look like a noblewoman.
Carl couldn't help but admire that Teresa was really a stunner, and she could become so provocative just by dressing up a little.
As a member of Carl's court, it is necessary for her to be present on such an important occasion as Carl's knighthood ceremony, and besides, she also needs to protect Carl's safety, which is her duty as the head of spies.
She couldn't dress as revealing as she did in the Guild of the Scoundrels, so Carl asked the tailor to design her such a dress, and the jewels cost Carl a lot of money.
The court tailor was stunned, why did this lady speak so insolently to the Earl? Beggar? That's an insult to Lord Earl! And the Earl was not angry.
He didn't know what the story was, but he wasn't going to guess, he quietly finished his work, putting on the costume he was proud of on Carl's body.
"Your hat." The tailor handed over a round hat, which was also carefully designed, and every color and pattern on it was perfectly matched.
If one looks closely, they may also notice that there seems to be an eagle in Carl's clothes, which is exactly what Carl asked.
"My chief spy, you're so beautiful today that you don't want to be the leader of the men in black, but more like the lady who came to participate in my ceremony." Karl said, spreading his hands.
"If you wish, then I can be." Teresa covered her mouth and chuckled, her every move tugging at her heartstrings.
"I hope this garment doesn't hinder you when the enemy's arrows come at me." Carl didn't answer her words, lest she get into the rhythm.
"If that terrible thing really happens, then I can only disband and re-become the head of the villainous guild with the men in black, I just hope that by that time you will regret that the feather on your head is holding you back instead of my clothes." Theresa gave Carl a white look and walked out of the room on her own.
"By the way, the members of the Dias family have arrived, and they are in the guest room now." At the door, Teresa turned her head and said.
"Oh? My father, brother and mother are finally here? That's great! Karl paused for a moment, then clapped his hands and laughed.
The servant who received the order quickly invited Baron Diaz and his family into Karl's bedroom, which was large enough that it would not look crowded even when the whole family had arrived.
"Pyne, my boy." Mrs. Aisha's voice was full of joy, and her steps into the bedroom were brisk.
"Mother." Karl also smiled, and stepped forward to hug Lady Aisha.
"Lord Count." Baron Dias, however, was meticulous, and he bent down under Karl's astonished gaze.
Etiquette cannot be abolished, at least in the eyes of Baron Dias, this is the rule, and it must be followed!
Karl was an earl, much higher in title and status, and he had to bow down when he saw it.
"Please don't do this, my father!" Carl hurriedly dodged away, he thought that he couldn't stand such a gift, no matter how to say that Baron Dias blessed himself when he was weak, Baron Dias was poor at that time, and it was already good to be able to eat well, and he also wanted to save a small family for himself, so that he could walk better when he was separated, and he really had no choice but to borrow money to buy equipment for him and find a way out for him, which was a great kindness, at least Carl kept it in mind.
Seeing Carl's performance, Baron Dias had no choice but to give up, but he felt very relieved in his heart, especially when he saw Carl's expensive and luxurious clothes, he wanted to laugh out loud.
A nobleman needs to show that he has deep pockets, so Carl is almost covered with gems, whether it is the sleeves or the skirt, there are colorful gems sewn on it, according to Carl's words, he is now a Christmas tree.
"What a valiant and honorable Earl!" Pine arrived, and he went into the bedroom and raised his fist to pound Carl's chest, not very forcefully, of course.
"Oh, don't make fun of me." Carl shook his head helplessly, being told by his brother that he was heroic or something, it would make people shy.
"Karl of miracles, I thought it was just those guys joking, and I saw it as a joke, but I didn't expect you to really make a miracle, it seems that I will have to pray to you in the future haha." Pyne disguises his embarrassment with jokes, and Carl finds out about it, echoing the same and turning over the embarrassing scene.
"By the way, Carl, there's a good thing for you, I almost forgot!" Lady Aisha said suddenly with great interest.
Pine seemed a little embarrassed when he heard this, more like a little ...... Shy?
Seeing this strange disobedience, Carl was puzzled, what would make his brother who had always been rough lines look like this.
"Pine, he's getting engaged!" Mrs. Aisha didn't sell anything, but told the matter directly, the smile on her face could see that she was very happy, this is also of course, her eldest son is about to start a family, and her younger son has become a noble earl, the Dias family has gone on a good fortune, it is estimated that the Virgin Mary is blessing the Dias family.
"Engaged?" Carl's mouth was wide enough to fit an egg, he really didn't expect his brother to be engaged, he wasn't like the kind of person who talks about love!
"Who's it?" Carl asked hurriedly.
"The daughter of the Chriss, the sister of the Earl of Shire!"
"Count Shire?" Carl suddenly shut his mouth, he probably knew what was going on, but now it seemed that Pine liked the woman, and he couldn't say anything.
"What's her name?"
"Angelina von Chris."
Carl silently wrote down the name, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely ask Teresa to investigate the other party.
"Lord Earl, the guests have arrived, the messenger of the Earl of Shire, the messenger of the Duke of Rizland, the Archbishop of Sandry...... And so the big names are ready, and the prominence of these nobles is known to the world. "Brother Derian, the palace minister, had no choice but to interrupt the warm family.
"Oh, okay, let's go out first." Carl nodded.
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, both Karl and Baron Dias walked at the back of the line, getting farther and farther away from everyone.
"Carl, you should see that." Baron Dias meant something.
"Yes father, if I'm not mistaken, they should have known each other for the last two or three months, and the engagement is also a recent thing." Karl said in a deep voice.
"yes, it's not so much an engagement to Pyne as a political marriage between Count Charles and you." Baron Dias sighed, which is why Pine was so naïve and really thought that the two sides fell in love at first sight.
It is estimated that from the first day they met, Angelina had a purpose, after all, Karl had already captured Dortmund Castle at that time.
"The Earl of Charles wants to make it up to you, or rather, to appease you."
In fact, Baron Dias said, and Karl also knew that although the previous incident was not anyone's fault, it did leave a rift between Karl and Count Charles, and Count Charles needed to be repaired.
As for why he didn't marry the daughter of the so-called Chris's family to Karl, the Earl of Charles also knew that it was impossible, and Karl would not marry such a person.
"How's Angelina?"
Karl didn't finish, but Baron Dias knew what Karl meant.
"It's okay, I've observed, maybe it's purposeful, but now it seems that I'm really in love with Pine, at least it's not the same emotionless as I was at the beginning, which is why I didn't stop them."
Karl breathed a sigh of relief, he still believed in Baron Dias's vision, since he said it was okay, it was really okay.
"In that case, then I can rest assured, let's see, this matter may not be a good thing, the Earl of Charles needs my strength to help him rule firmly, why shouldn't I?" Karl shrugged his shoulders.
He knows best how dangerous the reign of the Earl of Charles is, and the poisoning incident can already explain a lot of things, so the Earl of Charles needs to bring in foreign aid, and Karl is the same, don't look at the current scenery, he has already been a thorn in the side of the Flo people, once there is a chance, those Flo people will be very happy to drink his blood, and he also needs help!
The best choice is to get closer to the Earl of Shire, and it is not impossible for the two sides to form an alliance, of course, things are not so simple, we can only look at it again.
