Chapter 108: The arrangement is clear
Although she was led around the corridor by Her Royal Highness the Princess for a long time, she finally came to the ceremonial officer.
The next question is, who should he turn to?
Walking into the spacious front hall of the ceremonial department, David just looked left and right, and before he could ask, someone had already greeted him: "This baron, what is the matter?" ”
"I'm Baron David Glamorgan, and His Majesty the King has asked me to come here to find the Hostess."
Before David's words were finished, the person next to him already understood why David came: "It turned out to be Lord Baron Glamorgan." Please come with me, and I will take you to the ceremonial officer who will assist you. ”
"Oh, I'm sorry for you."
"Your Excellency the Baron is gracious."
Following the middle-aged man in the palace uniform, he walked inside, and was soon led to a lounge: "Your Excellency Baron, wait a moment, and I'll go and inform the ceremonial officer to come and report to you." ”
After thanking him again, Davidian waited quietly, taking a look at the lounge.
The lounge is not big, but it is simple but reveals luxury - each piece of furniture is decorated with either gold or precious stones, and the atmosphere of luxury cannot be concealed at all.
He didn't have to wait long, and before David could even finish looking at the lounge, the door was opened again, and a young ceremonial officer in a palace uniform who looked to be in his twenties was in front of him.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Baron Glamorgan, and I'm the ceremonial officer in charge of your liturgy and related affairs for the next period of time, and my name is Elias Parker."
"Hello, nice to meet you." David carefully looked at the young ceremonial officer in front of him, he could detect a little unnaturalness in the other party's expression, it seemed that the young ceremonial officer was not willing to take over the job of assisting in teaching himself.
After a little thought, you can understand the reason: in the eyes of the people in the royal capital, David is a little lord from the countryside. Although he somehow won the favor of His Majesty the King, he was given the title of baron, and jumped from a commoner to a real aristocratic class.
But what is that place in Wintertown? The most remote part of the Kingdom of Tiran, further north than the original border town of Irontree Fort, is a newly developed territory, and is the newest frontier of the Kingdom of Tiran. It is foreseeable that the living environment there will not be very good.
The actual situation was similar to David's guess, the ceremonial officials had read the relevant documents, and they had just designed several family crests for Baron Glamorgan.
Many of the ceremonial officials didn't care about the fact that Winter Town was able to have a population of several hundred people in such a short period of time, and they didn't care about any newly discovered high-yielding crops, and they all noticed that Winter Town was very cold, and the winter was particularly long.
Even if winter is over now, it is inevitable that you will have to spend a whole year in that kind of place.
Terrible living conditions, young country new aristocrats with no background and commoners, what the hell is this job?
Therefore, any ceremonial officer with a little background and a little power is unwilling to take this job, and finally throws this job to the most inconspicuous, the most backgroundless, and usually only being oppressed by everyone.
Elias Parker thus became the ceremonial officer responsible for directing Baron David Gramorgan's various aristocratic etiquette and related matters.
"Lord Baron, do you have any idea what to deal with next?" Since the job is mandatory, Elias Parker has no right to refuse, and now he can only do his best to complete the work and try to get through the year as soon as possible.
In any case, being able to mentor and assist a new nobleman will add a lot to his work resume, and maybe he can use it to get out of the current embarrassing situation.
"It's not very clear."
Elias was not surprised by David's answer, everyone had read David's information, this was the most authentic countryman, and it was impossible to expect him to know what to do after becoming a nobleman.
"According to the normal process, the Baron needs to design the family crest...... This is done, and then go to the Kingdom Archives to complete the personal file. Speaking of which, Elias motioned for David to leave here with him, and gave way to the position of the door, waiting for David to walk out first before following: "If Lord Baron has any personal matters to deal with, you can also go back first, and I will go to the archives to retrieve the blank files." ”
David thought for a moment and decided to go back to the hotel first: "You know where I live, right?" ”
"Yes, Bauhinia Inn."
"Then I'll wait for you at the inn."
"Yes, sir." Elias didn't feel any dissatisfaction, as a ceremonial officer, after being assigned to assist the new nobles, his duties included helping the new nobles with various formalities, which meant that this was his job.
After accompanying David all the way out of the palace, Elias turned around and went to the archives to retrieve all the documents he needed.
After Davy left the palace, he was about to walk back to the hotel, but Sutton-Stewart's attendants were already waiting outside the palace.
"Lord Baron Glamorgan." It can be seen that the squire has received accurate information: "I am a servant of Lord Earl Stewart, and my lord has ordered me to wait here for you to come out and take you back to your lodgings. ”
"Oh, then I'm bothering you." David glanced at the carriage parked next to him, it was not the one he was familiar with (with a bug installed), it was much smaller, and could only allow two people to sit side by side in the car.
"Lord Baron is so polite."
Respectfully watched David board the carriage, and after the attendant closed the door, he sat down next to the coachman, and without any additional orders, the coachman drove the carriage and drove towards the Bauhinia Hotel.
After a short time, the carriage arrived at its destination, and the attendant immediately got out of the carriage and opened the door of the inn for David.
Nodding to the squire, David had wanted him to thank Earl Stewart on his behalf, but when he entered the inn, he saw Earl Sutton-Stewart sitting in the hall, obviously waiting for him.
"Aha! Look, it's Baron David Glamorgan. He stood up and sang in an exaggerated tone: "Welcome! ”
“……”
"How does it feel?" Earl Sutton-Stewart put down the wine glass in his hand and walked in front of David: "I thought you would delay a little more time to deal with those trivial matters. ”
"My hostess has gone get the papers for me."
"Oh, yes!" Stewart nodded: "As is customary, you will be assigned a ceremonial officer to guide you in all kinds of related matters. ”
Speaking of this, Earl Stewart changed his sympathetic look as if he had thought of something: "The ceremonial officer assigned to you must be miserable in normal times. ”
What David could think of, Stewart also thought of, with the situation in Winter Town, no etiquette officer was willing to take the initiative to take the job, and in the end it must have been lost to some unlucky person.
"Which hapless guy was assigned to be your personal hostess?"
"Elias Parker."
"Oh, it's him!"
David felt amazing, he just answered Stewart's question very casually, but he didn't expect that this Lord Earl really knew who this person was.
"You know him?"
"The youngest son of Baron Parker's family, I have met him a few times before, but I haven't seen him since Baron Parker's death."
At present, the human countries on the continent of Brunnia are basically the same in terms of the title system, which is said to be derived from the title system of the Sodurunma Empire, from high to low as dukes, marquises, counts, viscounts, and barons.
Among them, the baron is not hereditary.
This is an important reason why after the death of Baron Parker, this Elias Parker did not have a good life, because the most important pillar of the family is gone.
However, he is also a descendant of the nobility, he has received various educations since he was a child, and his father was also a little connected when he was there, although his sons are no longer nobles, but they will not turn back to ordinary people, and they all serve as various officials in the royal capital.
After a couple of words about Elias Parker, David learned a little more about the situation, and it was only then that Stewart made clear his intentions: "I've got a party for you...... Don't say no, there will be many knights of the Knights of Tiran, alchemists from the Kingdom's Alchemy Workshop, and mages from the Tiran Mages. ”
After listening to this, David immediately understood that this was actually a job fair held for himself, and after becoming a baron, he would definitely not be able to handle everything on his own like he had done originally, and it was normal to recruit some powerful helpers in the royal capital before returning to Winter Town.
"You don't have to worry about my bad intentions, this party is actually what that person meant." Earl Stewart reminded David in a low voice, so that David understood that this time it was all arranged by His Majesty, and he didn't have to worry about what tricks he was doing.
David immediately understood that His Majesty wanted to deter the nobles of Irontree Castle, of course, he couldn't just give a knighthood and give some support.
If David guessed correctly, there should have been some people who had been instructed by His Majesty to take advantage of this job fair to accept his invitation and follow him to Winter Town.
Of course, David believed that the Earl of Stewart in front of him would also mix some sand into the team in order to achieve some purpose, such as the plan to help the Temple gain a foothold in the northern part of the Kingdom of Tiran.
"Held at your residence?"
"Yes, I'll send someone to pick you up later, I'll go back first." Earl Stewart was about to leave after speaking, but before the foot that stepped out hit the ground, he took it back: "By the way, the kind of gift from last time, is there any more?" ”
"I'll bring some more from the past."
Earl Stewart nodded in satisfaction, gave David a 'sure enough, you're my confidant,' and left the Bauhinia Hotel happily.
