171 Me too
Christine told him yesterday that the treatment of malaria has made great contributions and His Majesty the King may be a title for him. Chen Luo thought it would be a baron, but he did not expect it to be a viscount.
Among the titles of the kingdom, the duke is the largest, then the marquis and the earl, and the viscount is the one below.
The title is easiest to obtain when it was founded, and the more difficult it is to go. Unless you make great contributions to the kingdom, a civilian will never have the opportunity to be promoted to a noble in his life.
The nobles in the kingdom generally have no fiefdoms and no actual power, but this is a kind of recognition. Only by obtaining this recognition can we have the qualifications to gain a foothold in the aristocratic circle.
For example, aristocrats will only marry aristocrats. If Chen Luo was a commoner, he basically had no chance to marry a noble lady.
Of course, if he is a powerful magician or a famous scholar himself, he still has the opportunity to transcend the class.
At present, becoming a viscount does not bring him any substantial benefits, but Chen Luo still stood up, bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Orlando Werner looked at him and encouraged: "I hope Viscount Blair can make more contributions to the kingdom and the people in the future..."
Celebration was the theme of today's banquet. After His Majesty the King and the Queen made a brief speech, the dinner officially began.
Dinner is not just about eating, but also about dancing.
Even the king and the queen came to dance for a while. Chen Luo could see that these nobles had strong dance skills. Chen Luo's physical coordination skills were OK, but he had never learned to dance.
The food at the dinner was nothing more than cakes, bread, fruit salads, etc. Chen Luo ate a little and put down his knife and fork. Compared with these, he looked forward to going home to eat rabbits with Isabella after the dinner in the palace.
The food was nothing fresh, but the red wine was very good. He thought of saying hello to Christine for a while and asked him to bring back a bottle for Teacher Britney and Isabella to taste.
As soon as he picked up the wine glass, a soft voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Vissue Blair, can you dance with me?"
Chen Luo turned around, looked at the girl named Cecilia, and apologized: "Sorry, Miss Cecilia, I really can't dance."
Not far away from Chen Luo, Vic, who had been rejected for the third time, saw this scene, the blow on his face became even stronger.
Why would he be rejected if he invites girls? But Blair is rejecting such a beautiful girl...
Cecilia's hand was still stretched in the air and said with a smile: "It's okay, I can teach you."
Chen Luo hesitated for a moment, and finally held her weak and boneless little hand.
At the dance party, a man should invite a woman. This is a rule and gentlemanly demeanor. Rejecting an invitation from a girl will not only be despicable, but will also make the invited girl a joke at the dance party.
Chen Luo didn't want Cecilia to lose face, nor did he want to become an alien in the dance party. Isn't it just a dance? At most, he held hands and hugged his waist. Anyway, Isabella is not here...
The nobles were dancing a court dance, with little movements and only a little space. Chen Luo placed one hand on Cecilia's waist and the other hand on her shoulder, without squinting, and moved his steps mechanically.
Cecilia smiled and said, "Vissue Blair, relax, you don't have to be so nervous..."
Chen Luo couldn't be nervous. When he hugged Cecilia, all he thought was Isabella. He always felt like betraying her, and he always felt that Isabella was hiding in the dark and watching.
As winter is coming, if Isabella knows that he will be dancing with other girls at the party and will not be angry with his bed, Chen Luo will face the cold bed every day.
Just thinking about it makes me feel terrible.
After moving with Cecilia for a while, Chen Luo made an excuse to leave. However, just as he sat back to his seat, another noble lady walked up, reached out to him, and smiled and said, "Vissue Blair, can I invite you to dance?"
Not far away, Vic picked up the spoon, looked at his face reflected in the spoon, looked at Chen Luo again, and began to doubt life.
...
Chen Luo was a little doubtful that the mosquitoes in the royal capital were just biting beautiful women. In just a short while, four noble ladies invited him to dance, with surprisingly consistent reasons.
But he had already agreed to Cecilia, and he couldn't refuse them. After four times, when he saw Tasia walking towards him, Chen Luo subconsciously said: "Your Highness Tasia, I really can't jump..."
"Don't worry, I'm not here to invite you to dance." Tasia looked at him and smiled: "It seems that Mr. Blair is very popular in the kingdom, especially by the noble lady..."
Chen Luo knew very well that there were two biggest reasons why he was popular in the royal capital. One was the malaria incident a few days ago, and the other was that he asked the scholar Gaya to escape from Luolan, regained Luolan's face, and became the hero of the country.
Of course, this reason cannot be told to Tasia.
"I just... happened to save them." Chen Luo said: "I saw a lot of people just now invite His Highness Tasia, who is as popular here."
Tasia shook her head and said, "I can't dance, you Lorrain's dance, I just think Mr. Blair may be a little worried, so come and help you."
After Tasia came, no noble lady came to see him again. Chen Luo said sincerely: "Thank you, Your Highness Tasia."
"You're welcome." Tasia smiled and said, "When I first met Mr. Blair, I felt very intimate, as if we had known each other before."
Chen Luo said: "Coincidentally, so do I..."
"Maybe it's because of our hair and eyes." Tasia said: "This is the first time I have seen someone like me..."
Chen Luo said in confusion: "Your mother and father..."
Tasia said: "They all have brown hair and blue eyes."
Genetically speaking, this may be small, but it is not without it. When we first met, Chen Luo certainly could not discuss with others whether she was her parents' birth. He just smiled slightly and said, "I still like black."
Tasia smiled and said, "So too."
As the princess of Gaya, Tasia could not be by Chen Luo forever. After a moment, she stood up and left.
As soon as Tasia left, Christine came over, looked at Chen Luo in surprise, and asked, "What do you know Princess Tasia?"
Chen Luo said: "Just now."
Christine said: "But you look very familiar."
Chen Luo smiled and said, "Maybe we are more intimate in conversation."
Christine looked at him and said, "Tasia is the only princess of Gaya and the future queen of Gaya. She has never taken the initiative to talk to others these days. You are the first and only one. I also saw her smiling at you. Is it because you all have black eyes and hair?"
