Chapter 622 What is hot?
There was no need to wait until the news spread completely in the capital.
On the evening of the audience ceremony, Pete and Lancelot began to receive invitations and small gifts one after another.
Without exception, they were all sent by the new nobles in the capital.
The contents were varied, but they basically expressed the same meaning:
Pet, Miranda and Lancelot were invited. They prepared banquets, dances, dramas, gladiatorial performances, card games, outings, hunting...
The types of activities almost covered all the entertainment methods near the capital!
Pete even opened a letter, which hinted in an obscure tone that the other party had privately hired or kept two dark elves. As long as Pete was willing to come as a guest, the two dark elves would use the most skilled methods, techniques and props to let Pete experience the peak of bliss.
When Reina, who was watching the fun nearby, saw the invitation, her face turned blue with anger. Without saying a word, she took the letter from Pete's hand and tore it into pieces.
"No! You! Can't go!"
Reina gritted her teeth and warned Pete word by word.
Pete was so amused that he said, "Dear, of course I won't go. Don't worry. I'm not interested in dark elves."
Although the dark elves' skills are as great as they can be, they are a race that has lived in the deep regions for many years. Their skin is basically black and gray, and they like to apply dark eye shadow and lipstick. They are really not the type that Pete likes.
And dark elves often... take both men and women.
Pete doesn't intend to experience the feeling of having a man on top of a man.
...
Because there were so many, after opening the first part of the letters, Pete simply looked at the signatures on the envelopes or gifts:
"Earl, Viscount, Baron, Baron, Baron, Viscount... Oh, there is also a Marquis!"
Lancelot's situation was no less bad.
Dolan was helping him count the number of pink envelopes in the pile of invitations.
Perhaps because Lancelot revealed that he was single at the court lunch, pink invitations were often written to him by girls of the same age as him, who were descendants of the royal nobles.
"12, 13, 14... There are two more, 16!"
"Ha! This is amazing!" Dolan counted, his eyes lit up, and he smiled as he opened the beautifully wrapped pink envelope he found:
"Baroness Inril, she is 38 years old and a widow!"
"Lancelot, you are really welcome. Baroness Inril told you that she has nothing to do in the past few days and will stay in her manor. She also said that she has prepared the best red wine for you and asked if you want to taste it with her under the moonlight! Hahahaha!"
Dolan covered his stomach, and his stomach hurt from laughing.
He could understand other nobles using "honey traps", but those were arranged by young girls who were the favorite young men of Lancelot's age and full of vigor.
This was not even a honey trap, but a normal marriage between nobles.
Although Lancelot has not been officially canonized yet, since he is a hero of the kingdom recognized by His Majesty Kenreddin himself, it is only a matter of time before he will be canonized in the future.
As a result, Baroness Yinglier was so good that the widow went to the battle herself.
Lancelot's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
He actually had no interest in the daughters of these nobles.
The temporary etiquette training he received just for the audience gave him a headache.
He used to be an ordinary person, and his favorite food was roast chicken, especially the whole chicken with crispy skin on the outside and tender inside. He could tear off large pieces of chicken directly from it and eat it with oil dripping from his mouth.
There was also roast chicken at the court lunch, and the chef cooked it quite perfectly, which was the kind that Lancelot was very appetizing at first sight.
As a result, according to the requirements of etiquette, it was impolite to grab the whole roast chicken and chew it directly, and even pulling a chicken leg off with your hands was not allowed.
He had to use a knife and fork to cut it "elegantly", then dip it in the prepared sauce, and then taste it slowly.
He couldn't talk to people while chewing, let alone smacking his lips.
When nobles socialize with each other, sometimes every move must strictly follow their etiquette standards. Those who fail to meet the corresponding requirements will be laughed at or even excluded.
Lancelot simply cannot imagine how uncomfortable his future life will be if his other half is a noble lady!
However, the nobles in the capital obviously did not think so much, or they thought it was natural to do so, and they still sent invitations and small gifts such as wreaths, bracelets, and bracelets to Lancelot one after another.
...
It took only half a night.
Not counting those intended for Miranda, the number of invitations received by Pete and Lancelot alone reached a terrifying 641!
More than 600!
There are countless small gifts, which are filled in the room.
This also indirectly shows how huge the group of new nobles who were canonized in the capital is.
In most cases.
To be canonized by the king, according to the current practice-level 3 professionals are a hard condition.
More than 600 professionals of at least level 3!
And this is only the part that is well-informed or quick to react.
There are still many newly-crowned nobles who have not had time to send invitations to Pate and his friends, or are still preparing to do so.
These invitations are not entirely sugar-coated bullets to win over.
Because Pate and his friends are undoubtedly the most popular people in the entire capital of Starosh, and with the halo of "kingdom heroes", as the news of the audience with the king spreads, their reputation in the capital will definitely be ridiculously great in a short period of time.
Through instant messenger communication with Gale, Pate confirmed the situation in the old city where ordinary citizens of the capital are the mainstream population.
The situation there is similar. Gale can even hear topics such as "kingdom heroes, king's reception, rewards, and appointments" from the mouths of citizens passing by on the roadside from time to time.
Some nobles may have just sent invitations to Pate and his friends out of courtesy;
Some are opportunists who see that Pate and his friends are so popular and want to take advantage of the halo of "kingdom heroes";
Some are the type who really have ulterior motives.
Looking at the hundreds of invitations piled up like a mountain in the suite, Lancelot couldn't help but worry:
"Who should we agree to? Who should we reject?"
"According to the requirements of court etiquette...out of courtesy, it seems that we need to write corresponding replies to these?!"
"Hundreds of replies! I'll die from writing!"
Pate looked very relaxed:
"Don't worry!"
"The situation is not as troublesome as you think, there is a very simple solution!"
