A month of staying at home was not a problem for Lin Xingchen at all. Immersed in his own world, he even felt that time passed too quickly.

"My little master, the day after tomorrow will be your sixteenth birthday, which also means that you have officially become an adult. It makes this old servant very happy to see you grow up." As he said this, Arnold couldn't help but shed tears.

"Grandpa Arnold, there's no need to do this. We will always be together no matter what the future holds. I also hope that you can help take care of Evelyn and my child."

“Evelin must be very happy to hear what the young master said, but I’m afraid that she won’t understand anything and will disappoint you.”

"If she doesn't understand, I can let her learn slowly. One day she will understand. The reason why I never express it is just because I hope she can have a little pressure so that she can study harder."

"My master and I must both understand this. Even her parents know about it. She is probably the only one in the family who is still hesitating."

"Even if she goes, I guess she will feel bad during this period."

Looking at his head in the mirror, Lin Xingchen couldn't help but sigh, "Alas... This head full of white hair will look ugly if it is cut short. At first, that shop refused to cut my hair, but now it seems I have to thank her."

"My little master, your hair is the symbol of the Star Clan. It seems that the seal is slowly being lifted. I estimate that in a few years you will be able to restore your royal appearance."

"What do you think of this dress, little master? If you still think it doesn't fit, you can modify it now."

"Mr. Helen, there is nothing wrong with this outfit on this young master. I can guarantee with my reputation that he will be the most dazzling gem one day."

"It's a bit tight, but you also said it's a must in etiquette, so I'll just be patient someday and don't need to change it."

"Thank you very much for your appreciation, young master. I think my name will also be known in the capital as you wear this gift."

"I look forward to cooperating with you next time. If you feel that the conditions I offer are not enough, we can still discuss it."

"Yes, I will seriously consider the opportunity you give me, young master. I will withdraw first." The master tailor turned around and left arrogantly.

"Very arrogant, but he still has some ability."

"The young master underestimated him. After all, he has been a tailor for forty years. Even the clothes of King Alfarak II were made by him. Naturally, he would be a little arrogant."

After taking off the dress prepared for her coming-of-age ceremony, Lin Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief. It was so tight.

"The master has never asked you to do anything about etiquette, but with Madam Merlin's guidance, you should be able to complete this coming-of-age ceremony smoothly."

"By the way, is everything arranged? Evelyn will dance the first dance then. Don't make a fool of ourselves."

“Asking you to learn dancing is like asking you to die. You must regret it now. Evelin knows about it everywhere. You can just deal with it casually when the time comes.”

“It was me who led Evelin astray. She should have been the most dazzling pearl, but she can’t even dance. Hahaha…” Lin Xingchen laughed as he spoke.

"My young master, I think you should think carefully about who you want to invite for your second dance. I'm afraid that Ms. Avril and Ms. Anna will fight."

"Can't I invite both of you at the same time? I'm a bad guy." Lin Xingchen smiled evilly with the corner of his mouth crooked.

Lin Xingchen was woken up by Arnold and the others early in the morning, and then they were busy combing his hair and drawing his eyes. "There is no problem with you combing my hair, but why are you helping me draw my eyes?"

The professionals who were invited to prepare the coming-of-age ceremony for Lin Xingchen moved in and out in an orderly manner. The order and work of each person were just like an assembly line. Although a little fast, there was no panic at all.

"Young Master, this time you are going to meet His Majesty the King, so you have to be more formal. Drawing circles around your eyes can make you look more energetic."

"It's up to you. You are professionals. " I closed my eyes and pretended to be a puppet, letting them do whatever they wanted to me.

Lin Xingchen didn't open his eyes until they said they were done. He was shocked when he saw himself in the mirror.

"The color of these lips is too dark." Looking at the lips that looked like a monkey's butt, Lin Xingchen howled loudly.

"Young master, if your skin tone wasn't so good, we would have used a darker color for you. This is the lightest, so you just have to adapt to it." Mrs. Merlin was becoming more and more pleased as she watched her masterpiece.

"This is definitely the most perfect dress-up I've had in the past few decades. I don't think I'll have such a good opportunity again in the future."

Ignoring Madam Merlin and the others, Arnold had urged them again and again. Lin Xingchen immediately sat upright and listened to Madam Merlin's repeated explanation of the necessary etiquette.

We stopped immediately at the palace gate and had to walk further, but fortunately the journey was not long.

With Arnold leading the way, they came directly to the place where the king was to receive them. Here, Arnold could only enter as a noble earl, and after entering, he could not make any rude remarks or anything like that.

I took a deep breath and the clothes on my chest bulged out, so I had to slowly exhale.

The distance of each step was very standard and there were no mistakes in the movements.

When he walked to the innermost part, he saw the current monarch of the Kurma Kingdom, King Alfarak Stephens, who was looking at him.

Placing his right palm on his left chest in a standard chest-touching gesture, Lin Xingchen of the Xingchen family greets His Majesty the King.

"It is an honor to once again serve as a witness to the coming-of-age ceremony for the descendants of the Xingchen family. May your family continue to prosper."

"Thank you for your blessing, Your Majesty. The Star Clan is willing to grow together with the Kingdom."

What followed was some rhetoric between the nobles, which Lin Xingchen performed very well.

"Today I am here to announce that this young and promising boy in front of me will become a man who can shoulder the great cause of his family and kingdom. This also means that from today on he is an adult and enjoys all the rights that an adult should have."

After applause, Al-Farraq continued his speech.

"As a token of friendship that has lasted for more than 800 years, I, King Alfarak II, solemnly declare today that the young man in front of me will become the legal heir to the Maple Leaf Territory and the title of Duke."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." All the etiquette ended here.

"Little guy, seeing you reminds me of your father, as if those years are right before my eyes."

"If my father comes back, I will definitely convey your Majesty's thoughts about him."

"Little guy, I heard that Maple Leaf Territory was developed by you. I wonder if you have any way to teach me, your uncle."

"Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment. Maple Leaf Territory has had a foundation for development after so many generations of hard work. I am just one of the lucky ones.

As for what your Majesty can teach you, I really can't think of anything that a king who can govern the country so well needs to be taught."

"Hahaha... you little rascal. I'm looking forward to your dance party tonight. We'll chat slowly then." After saying this, His Majesty left with a smile on his face.

At this time, Arnold began the task of delivering invitations, and basically every mature noble would give such face.

A dance party is a very important social place where everyone can spread information about what they want and don’t want, and it is also a bond that connects all friends.

Lin Xingchen's coming-of-age ceremony reception was held at a location under the United Rose Chamber of Commerce; the Xingchen family was unable to hold a reception at their residence in the royal capital.

This is just like renting a hotel. Some chambers of commerce provide venues for nobles whose family conditions are not very good. The nobles pay money and get services, and the chamber of commerce gets money and reputation. As long as they can run the ball well, they will definitely choose this chamber of commerce as their first choice next time.

As important partners of United Rose, Avril and other four shareholders invested a lot of capital this time under the guidance of Lin Xingchen.

Not only is the layout luxurious but the various furnishings are also novel. There are numerous shelves placed on the open spaces on both sides of the hall, all of which are filled with the products that United Rose brought from Maple Leaf Territory this time.

A wide variety of fruit platters, various fruit drinks, snacks, red wine and tea are the protagonists of today.

The band played the tune that Lin Xingchen had memorized, and this fresh tune gave all the nobles who came in a refreshing feeling.

As the protagonist of today, Lin Xingchen cannot enter the venue so quickly. He must show up at the last starting time and sit in a chair to meditate to pass the time.

Only when he knew that the servant had come to inform him that he could go out did he straighten his clothes and appear in front of everyone to the sound of cheerful tunes.

His stylish attire and handsome face immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

As usual, he needed to make an opening statement. Standing on a high platform, Lin Xingchen cast wind magic to make his voice spread.

"I am honored to invite all the distinguished guests to attend my coming-of-age ball. This moment makes me so excited that I can hardly calm down. I hope you all can have fun. Thank you."

After a simple speech, the show was considered complete. The next program was dancing. Standing on the stage and looking at the familiar figures in the first row, Lin Xingchen walked straight towards his goal.

It was a standard invitation gesture. Evelin almost jumped up with excitement. Roy on the side quickly pulled Evelin, who was a little overwhelmed.

Seeing that the protagonist had found his dance partner, everyone tactfully moved him to the middle position.

The band changed its tune, and romantic and soothing music sounded, and the two people finished a dance awkwardly.

Many people covered their mouths for fear of laughing out loud.

“Did I embarrass you?” Evelin asked anxiously.

"How could that be? You are really beautiful today, but I still prefer you in your magic robe, because I am the only one who can appreciate you when you are so beautiful."

This sentence was like throwing Evelin into a jar of honey. She couldn't tell east from west.
