"Although it sounds good, who knows whether it's true or not, alas..." He sighed with pretended regret, then glanced away.

"Of course it's true. I saw it with my own eyes." Seeing the earl's interest, Hewlett immediately responded eagerly.

"Moreover, the eldest daughter of the Lagertis Chamber of Commerce is incredibly beautiful, like the bright moon in the sky, like an incomparably rare gem, making it impossible to take your eyes off her."

"Oh, how beautiful can it be?" Howard smiled. The thing that nobles have no shortage of is beautiful women. They own land and wealth, and the maids around them since childhood are all carefully selected. They have long been insensitive to descriptions of such appearance.

"Uh... just like... comparable to the Crown Princess of the past." Hewlett couldn't think of any good metaphor, so he could only say this.

"With such praise, tell me how much did you receive from that young lady?" Howard's beard curled up again.

Frosia, the legitimate daughter of the Landsworthy family, the former Crown Princess, and the future White Queen, had the most beautiful and peerless appearance that the nobles and commoners of the imperial capital had ever seen in their lives.

Although the Crown Princess was aloof from socializing and rarely attended banquets, even her words and daily attire within her residence were the talk of the town. Countless noble ladies and other women adorably imitated her style. In terms of status, beauty, and talent, she was the pinnacle of the empire, with virtually no flaws, making her the dream match of countless people.

And Hewlett actually used the White Queen as an analogy today. That was quite an exaggeration. Howard shook his head, and began to doubt the Eastern things he had mentioned earlier.

"Your Excellency must believe me, this is absolutely true." Hewlett's face showed an anxious and worried expression.

"Alright, alright. For the sake of our old friendship, I don't care how much you've accepted from that young lady. I'll have the butler give you an invitation later, and you can just pass it on to that young lady."

"But what interests me is not her appearance, but those oriental things you mentioned before. I hope she won't disappoint me this time."

"And I'm warning you in advance, don't try to fool me with any tricks. I've seen many genuine treasures from the East. If you do that, you're insulting me. Do you understand?"

"Your Excellency Lord Hewlett, I understand. How could I deceive you? Hewlett will always be your most loyal follower." After receiving the answer, the down-and-out baron became calm and polite, bowed respectfully, and then retreated with a smile on his face.

Looking at the back of his childhood playmate, Howard shook his head slightly and tapped the table lightly.

Next one. He wanted to continue to listen to what interesting news the next guest brought him.

"Good evening, my Lord."

"Good evening, Lady Vanessa."

A graceful lady sat down, the tiny gems on the ornaments in front of her reflected colorful sparkles under the light, but what attracted people's attention more was the slim and smooth silk dress that showed off her graceful figure, and the silver embroidery on it was lifelike, giving people a sense of oriental mystery.

"I came here today to introduce a friend to Lord Howard."

The familiar words were repeated once again, and the legend about the mysterious and beautiful eldest daughter of the Chamber of Commerce began to spread in the imperial capital.

——————

A few days later, in the evening, in the courtyard where the Lagetis caravan was located.

Loran Hill is currently dressing up in front of the mirror, preparing for the dinner tonight.

Thanks to the publicity from everyone these days, the fame of this caravan spread quickly in the imperial capital. Some nobles also began to take an interest in Miss Lacey and sent invitations.

But Loran Hill didn't want to visit everyone one by one. That would be time-consuming and laborious. She also didn't like attending various banquet invitations so frequently and being stared at for a long time.

If it weren't for this plan, which required her to actually attend a noble banquet and witness the empire's upper class, she might not even have considered showing up. While sensitivity was beneficial in training and combat, it only made little Roland more shy in unfamiliar social situations like this.

Oh, it would be nice to have a substitute. As the girl watched herself in the mirror being gradually dressed up by the two maids beside her, such a thought suddenly crossed her mind.

"Well, miss, it's all sorted."

"Thank you, Eugolia." The girl woke up from her imagination and looked at herself in the mirror.

Today, she wore an exquisite white and blue dress, with a white base dotted with blue and white roses. A light blue belt cinched her waist, and two light ribbons dangled from the sides. The overall look had a pure, fresh feel, and paired with her golden hair, it was like the dawn on a winter day.

In today's empire, which prefers red and black, this kind of dress is obviously different and gives people a strange impact.

After finishing dressing up, Loran Hill and two maids walked down the stairs and slowly came to the outside of the courtyard, where a specially made white carriage had been waiting for a long time.

The body of the carriage was decorated with some vines, and the surroundings were dotted with flame yellow and pure white roses. The horses were also pulled by two handsome unicorns, who were tapping their hooves lightly on the ground to pass the time.

"Good evening." The girl greeted Vio who was driving, then came to the two unicorns, stroked them gently, and recalled the method Frosia taught her in the past to comfort these two unicorns of Nature Sequence 5.

A long time ago, unicorns were a rare magical beast living in the forest. Later, they were domesticated by the elves and their numbers increased slightly.
