[Chapter 108 The Arrangement is Clear]

Although he was led by Her Royal Highness the Princess around in the corridor for a long time, he finally arrived at the etiquette officer.

The next question was, who should he look for?

Walking into the spacious lobby of the etiquette department, David just looked around. Before he had time to ask, someone came to him: “Baron, what can I do for you?”

“I am David Baron Glamorgan. His Majesty the King asked me to come here to find the etiquette officer.”

Before David finished speaking, the person asking the question next to him already understood why David came: “It turns out to be Baron Glamorgan. Please follow me, I will take you to see the etiquette officer who is responsible for assisting you.”

“Oh, thank you for your trouble.”

“Your Excellency the Baron is too polite.”

Following the middle-aged man in court uniform, he was soon led to a lounge: “Your Excellency the Baron, please wait a moment, I will notify the etiquette officer to report to you.”

After expressing his gratitude again, David waited quietly and looked around the lounge.

The lounge was not big, but it was simple yet luxurious. Every piece of furniture was decorated with gold or gemstones, and the luxurious atmosphere could not be concealed at all.

It didn’t take long for David to even finish looking around the lounge. The door was opened again, and a young etiquette officer in court uniform, who looked to be in his twenties, was in front of him.

“It’s nice to meet you, Lord Baron Glamorgan. I am the etiquette officer in charge of your etiquette and related affairs for the next period of time. My name is Elias Parker.”

“Hello, nice to meet you.” David looked carefully at the young etiquette officer in front of him. He could detect some unnaturalness in his expression. It seemed that the young etiquette officer was not willing to take over the job of assisting and teaching him. After

thinking about it for a while, he understood the reason: in the eyes of the people in the capital, David was just a small lord from the countryside. Although he inexplicably won the favor of His Majesty the King and was conferred the title of baron, he jumped from a commoner to the real aristocratic class.

But what is Winter Town? The most remote place in the Kingdom of Tilan is further north than the original border town of Iron Tree Castle. It is a recently developed territory and the newest border of the Kingdom of Tilan. It can be predicted that the living environment there will not be very good.

The actual situation is similar to what David guessed. The etiquette officers have read the relevant documents. They have just designed several family crests for Baron Glamorgan.

Many etiquette officers do not care that Winter Town has a population of hundreds in such a short time after its establishment, nor do they care about the newly discovered high-yield crops. They all noticed one thing: Winter Town is very cold and the winter is particularly long.

Even though winter is over now, you still have to stay in that place for a whole year, and winter is unavoidable.

A bad living environment, a young country new noble from a commoner with no background, what kind of a shitty job is this?

Therefore, any etiquette 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 the person who is usually bullied by everyone.

Elias Parker thus became the etiquette officer responsible for instructing Baron David Glamorgan on various noble etiquette and corresponding affairs.

“My Lord Baron, do you have any idea about what you are going to deal with next?” Since this job is mandatory, Elias Parker has no right to refuse. Now he can only do his best to complete the work and try to get through this year as soon as possible.

In any case, being able to instruct and assist a new noble will add a lot of color to his resume, and perhaps he can use this to get rid of the current embarrassing situation.

“Not very clear.”

Elias was not surprised by David’s answer. Everyone has read David’s information. He is the most authentic countryman. It is impossible to expect him to know what to do after becoming a noble.

“According to the normal process, the Baron needs to design a family crest… This has been completed, and then go to the Kingdom Archives to complete his personal files.” At this point, Elias signaled David that he could leave here with him, and made way for the door, waiting for David to walk out first before following: “If the Baron has any private matters to deal with, you can go back first, and I will go to the archives to get the blank files.”

David thought about it and decided to go back to the hotel first: “You know where I live, right?”

“Yes, the Bauhinia Hotel.”

“Then I’ll wait for you at the hotel.”

“Okay, sir.” Elias did not feel dissatisfied. As a ceremonial officer, after being assigned to assist the newly promoted nobles, his duties included helping the new nobles to handle various procedures, which means that this was his job.

After accompanying David all the way out of the palace, Elias turned back to the archives to get all the necessary documents.

After David left the palace, he was about to stroll back to the hotel, but he didn’t expect that Sutton-Stewart’s attendants had been waiting outside the palace.

“Lord Baron Glamorgan.” It was obvious that the attendant had received accurate information: “I am the servant of Lord Earl Stewart. Lord Stewart ordered me to wait for you here and take you back to your residence.”

“Oh, thank you for your help.” David glanced at the carriage parked next to him. It was not the one he was familiar with (with a bug installed). This one was much smaller and could only accommodate two people sitting side by side.

“Lord Baron is too polite.”

He watched David board the carriage respectfully. After the servant closed the door, he sat next to the driver. Without any additional instructions, the driver drove the carriage towards the Bauhinia Inn.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the destination. The servant immediately got off the carriage and opened the door, and also opened the door of the inn for David.

David nodded to the servant. He originally wanted him to thank Earl Stewart on his behalf, but as soon as he walked into the inn, he saw Earl Sutton-Stewart sitting in the lobby, obviously waiting for him.

“Aha! Look, it’s Baron David Glamorgan.” He stood up and said in an exaggerated tone as if singing: “Welcome!”

“…”

“How do you feel?” Earl Sutton Stewart put down the wine glass in his hand and walked to David: “I thought you would take up more time to deal with those trivial matters.”

“My etiquette officer went to get those documents for me.”

“Oh, yes!” Stewart nodded: “According to convention, a etiquette officer will be assigned to you to guide you in handling various related matters.”

At this point, Earl Stewart seemed to have thought of something, and put on a sympathetic look: “The etiquette officer assigned to you must be miserable in normal times.”

What David could think of, Stewart also thought of. Given the situation in Winter Town, no etiquette officer would be willing to take over this job on his own initiative, and it would definitely be thrown to some unlucky guy in the end.

“Which unlucky guy was assigned to be your personal etiquette officer?”

“Elias Parker.”

“Oh, it’s him!”

David was amazed. He just answered Stuart’s question casually. He didn’t expect that the earl actually knew who this person was.

“Do you know him?”

“The youngest son of Baron Parker. I have seen him several times before, but I haven’t seen him since Baron Parker passed away.”

At present, the human countries on the Brunnia continent are basically the same in terms of the title system. It is said that they all originated from the title system of the Sodurenma Empire. From high to low, they are dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, and barons.

Among them, barons are not hereditary.

This is why Elias Parker did not live a happy life after Baron Parker passed away, because the most important pillar of the family was gone.

However, he was a descendant of aristocrats after all. He received various educations since he was a child. When his father was alive, he had some connections. Although his sons were no longer aristocrats, they did not become ordinary people again. They all served as various officials in the capital.

After talking about Elias Parker, David got to know more about the situation. It was not until then that Stuart made clear his intention: “I have prepared a celebration party for you… Don’t refuse. There will be many knights from the Tilan Knights, alchemists from the Kingdom Alchemy Workshop, and mages from the Tilan Mage Corps.” After

hearing this, David immediately understood that this was actually a job fair for him. After becoming a baron, he certainly couldn’t handle everything by himself like before. Before returning to Winter Town, it was normal to recruit some powerful helpers in the capital.

“You don’t have to worry about me having any bad intentions. This party is actually the idea of that person.” Earl Stuart reminded David in a low voice, letting David know that this time it was all arranged by His Majesty the King, and he didn’t have to worry about him doing anything. David

immediately understood that His Majesty the King wanted him to intimidate the nobles of Iron Tree Castle. Of course, he couldn’t just confer a title and be done with it. He had to give some support appropriately.

If David guessed correctly, there should be some people who have received instructions from His Majesty the King and accepted his invitation to follow him to Winter Town through this job fair.

Of course, David believed that the Earl Stuart in front of him would also mix some sand in this team in order to achieve some goals, such as the plan to help the Temple gain a foothold in the north of the Kingdom of Tiran.

“Hold it at your residence?”

“Yes, I’ll send someone to pick you up later. I’m going back first.” Earl Stuart was about to leave after he finished speaking, but he took it back before his foot landed: “By the way, do you still have the gifts like last time?”

“I’ll bring some more.”

Earl Stuart nodded with satisfaction, gave David a look that said, ‘You are indeed my confidant’, and left the Bauhinia Inn happily.
