Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 524 - 307: Tonight Is Not the Past, the Name of Thor Dressrosa_2

"Viscount Thor!"

"You must be Viscount Thor; you certainly are distinguished."

"Indeed, Viscount Thor, I heard you achieved a great victory for the Kingdom in the Kingdom War. Let me toast to you."

Voices mingled from all around.

Which left Thor slightly disoriented.

He had attended noble banquets before.

But he had never experienced such enthusiasm in his memory.

Count Engel’s status was not low, and the Dressrosa Family was strong enough.

However, he was merely the ninth son, without any chance of inheriting the title, and no one would have been so enthusiastic towards him.

In fact, it wasn’t just a lack of enthusiasm; people wouldn’t even bother with him at all.

Not even a greeting existed.

After all, as a count’s second son, even his value in marriage was said to be nonexistent.

But at this moment, it was completely different.

His presence was arguably the most dazzling in the entire banquet, even more so than Count Engel.

Even quite a few noble ladies were interested in him.

During the conversation.

Thor didn’t even know how many notes had been slipped into his pocket.

If he wanted to, the next few days in the Royal Capital would not be lonely at all.

There were also many noble young ladies, who, although not as bold as the noble ladies, still mingled with him to start a conversation.

One must know that this wasn’t a previous noble banquet, but a top-level noble banquet in the Kingdom. The identities able to participate were from families far stronger than the Dressrosa before; not to mention him, even Count Engel was not necessarily paid much attention to by these nobles.

Yet at this moment, they took the initiative to converse with him, which was simply unbelievable.

It left Thor feeling a little dazed.

But just as he was in a daze.

A graceful figure walked over.

The crowd automatically parted.

"Viscount Thor!"

A gentle voice sounded, bringing Thor back to reality, only to find a figure standing before him.

"And you are?"

Thor asked somewhat surprised, instinctively opening his mouth.

"Let me introduce myself, Panice Kapei!"

"Pleased to meet you, Viscount Thor."

A warm voice sounded, and the young man extended his right hand.

"Kapei!"

Thor raised an eyebrow but also extended his hand.

"Pleased to meet you too, Princess Panice!"

The two lightly clasped hands and then released, Thor’s voice subsequently sounded.

The surname Kapei, Thor naturally knew, was the very surname of the current Tulip Royal Family.

He had been reminded by a Liepuer Clan descendant before, and if he still couldn’t react, he would be a bit slow to catch on.

"Viscount Thor, I heard you’re only twenty-one years old, and you’re already a Sky Knight, which is simply incredible. I haven’t seen many such talents even in the Imperial Canaan Academy."

Panice curiously examined Thor, speaking with a sense of admiration.

She wasn’t deliberately praising him; it was genuine.

A twenty-one-year-old Sky Knight, such talent was enough to be dazzling at the Imperial Canaan Academy.

"Princess Panice, you flatter me. It’s merely luck!"

Thor replied with a smile.

"No, no, it isn’t luck; Viscount Thor, you are too modest!"

Panice seriously shook her head.

Then she conversed with Thor for some time before slowly leaving.

Her every move undoubtedly attracted the attention of many young nobles.

Quite a few gulped.

Although the Fifteenth Princess Panice didn’t have as much talent as the Seventeenth or Nineteenth Princess, due to being older, she was even more beautiful and had already entered Canaan Academy, promising a bright future.

Many were thoughtful, especially knowing that she would attend this banquet, but after Panice conversed with Thor, everyone couldn’t help but sigh and shake their heads.

Compared to Thor, they were very aware of their own inferiority.

At this moment, it was no longer like before; some of Thor’s abilities might still be a secret to other nobles, but for top nobles, it was no secret at all.

Just as they sighed,

The scene that followed shocked them even further.

It wasn’t just the Fifteenth Princess.

The Fourteenth Princess, Seventeenth Princess, and even the Nineteenth Princess all subsequently approached Thor to converse with him.

This scene immediately widened everyone’s eyes.

And made some people nearly grit their teeth.

However, it was clear that none of this had anything to do with Thor.

The successive arrival of four princesses.

Made him believe Sakre’s words.

The Tulip King seemed genuinely to have thoughts of marrying one of the four princesses to him.

Yet it was probably still just a thought, without any real intention to do so yet.

He couldn’t help but smile bitterly and shake his head.

The scene from before the Kingdom War unwillingly coming to mind, where it was the Vieira Clan, and now even His Majesty the King wanted to meddle.

Although since the Tulip King hadn’t explicitly said so, Thor wouldn’t proactively bring it up.

For him at the moment, compared to marriage, he was more concerned with enhancing his abilities.

He placed much importance on marriage.

Especially considering his territory, and the future expected to be extremely vast, he wouldn’t make hasty decisions.

Time passed slowly.

Count Engel, Carlo, and Carlo’s wife, along with Thor, continued to shine at the banquet.

Even as the banquet ended, the crowd was still laughing and chatting.

Even the Nineteenth Princess and Seventeenth Princess were very interested in Thor’s territory.

Seeing the two princesses’ shining bright eyes, Thor couldn’t help but laugh and shook his head.

Nobles, especially the female descendants of great nobles, didn’t have that kind of freedom, and even more so for the Royal Family.

Wanting to visit his territory would be impossible unless one really married him.

But Thor didn’t care, Count Engel did notice, and he couldn’t help but smile though he also said nothing.

With the banquet over.

In the following days, some branches of the Dressrosa Family began to leave.

Ultimately, only Thor, Count Engel, and Carlo remained.

Thor and Count Engel needed to stay to await the conferment of their titles, while Carlo needed to continue his noble socializing in the Kingdom, as the heir to the earldom, or should now be said as the heir to the marquisate, Carlo still had a lot to learn and master.

The Kingdom was the best path for him to quickly grasp it.

In the blink of an eye, it was six days.

During these six days.

More than half of the nobles in the Royal Capital had left.

Most nobles had already withdrawn.

Only nobles needing to be conferred titles and those originally keen on the Royal Capital remained.

This Kingdom War brought over a sixty percent loss, and more than twelve nobles were able to reach the Royal Palace for conferment.

One reached the marquisate, and eleven to the earldom.

Compared to the three million merit points and the Kingdom War’s great merit requirements, the ten thousand merit points for the earldom conferment was relatively easier; each Kingdom War saw some earldom conferments, and this year even saw more, reaching a total of eleven people.

Usually, there were only four or five.

When the time came to the seventh day.

Early in the morning, countless knights began to line up in order.

A massive red carpet stretched from the Royal Palace all the way to the gate of the Royal Capital.

The towering statue of the Goddess of Life at that moment began to emit a faint, holy glow, spreading over the entire Royal Capital.

The solemn music sounded heavily.
