Chapter 321 Publicity Ambassador (Update)
The main stand has reserved a seat for His Majesty the King, and Blanche and many ladies are also here.
No matter how the nobles usually talk about Blanche behind her back, today is the princess's birthday, and they all surround Blanche and offer her praises and blessings for her beauty.
Blanche responded politely, saying that only on her birthday every year would she feel like a princess surrounded by stars.
"Your Highness, the shawl around your neck seems... a little different?"
Noble ladies and young ladies still have a very unique vision, not to mention that clothing is their daily focus.

They had long noticed the difference in Blanche's shawl.
Because this shawl has a unique luster in appearance, and although the dresses they wear are made of high-grade wool and velvet, they have a relatively low gloss.
Blanche looked down at her shawl and smiled with two small dimples on her face.
She introduced happily: "This is a birthday gift given to me by Earl Luoning of Wushan Territory. It is said that it is woven with special materials from Wubei Territory."
"Oh? What material is so special?"
This immediately aroused their curiosity even more strongly.
Enjoyment and beauty are their pursuits. When they hear new things and appear on the princess, they naturally want them too.
"I heard from Count Luoning that it seems to be called silk. He named the fabric made of silk silk."
Silk, silk.
It was the first time the ladies heard such words.
Suddenly, many people began to ask about silk and its differences.
How does Blanche know what silk is? She has never seen it. As for silk, she could use shawls as an example.
"In addition to its high gloss, this fabric is also very soft and smooth to the touch. It also has very good breathability, making people feel cool and comfortable."
After this introduction, the curiosity of the nobles reached its peak.
"Your Highness, can I touch your silk shawl?" Some people even made such a request.
Blanche was stunned for a moment, then smiled and took off the shawl: "Of course!"
She knew that this silk would probably become an economic product of Luo Ning's territory, so it would be beneficial for Luo Ning to take the initiative to introduce it.
If it weren't for the white cup with her and Luo Ning's names engraved on it, it wouldn't be appropriate to take it out now. She would have thought of taking out the porcelain and introducing it.
You donβt know if you donβt touch it, but you will feel it even more strongly once you touch it.
βItβs definitely different from the fabrics we have now!β
"Yeah, yeah, our shawls can't be this silky smooth!"
"This cold and refreshing feeling is also very good..."
They said something to each other, and kept uttering praises.
Blanche was very happy after hearing this. After all, this was a gift given to her by Luo Ning. It was sought after by so many people, which not only showed Luo Ning's intentions, but also made her very proud.
"Your Highness, do you know if there are still shawls like this?" Finally, someone asked this question.
Blanche took the shawl back and nodded with a smile: "Also. But Count Ronin didn't bring it over. According to him, he will use silk to make skirts, dresses and other kinds of clothing."
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"Then can you introduce us to see if we can buy silk clothing?"
Suddenly, the stands seemed to turn into a sales stand.
Blanche has never encountered so many people asking her so sincerely.
She pointed in the direction of Luo Ning: "He is currently preparing for the upcoming martial arts tournament. I can introduce him to you when the dinner starts in the evening."
In an instant, more than ten or twenty noble ladies all looked at Luo Ning.
"Sir, they all seem to be looking at you!"
David was startled by such a formation and immediately reminded him.
Luo Ning looked over, and he was also very surprised.
But judging from the way these ladies greeted each other with smiles, it seemed that Blanche was introducing him.
In line with the principle of politeness, Luo Ning stood up and nodded in greeting.
This move actually made them happy for a while, as if they were sure to get silk fabrics from Luo Ning.
β¦
At ten o'clock in the morning, with His Majesty the King arriving and making a brief opening speech and praising the generosity of the four major families, the tournament officially began.
In the square, the cheers became violent.
Although there are many types of competitions between knights, such as riding competitions, archery competitions, spear skills competitions, etc., today's event is close combat, which can be regarded as a swordsmanship competition, agility competition, and fighting skills competition.
The list of contestants has long been written on small wooden sticks of the same length. The host of the competition will draw lots on the spot, and those who are drawn will go on stage to compete.
The collision of long swords and the roar of fighting skills made the entire competition arena seem extremely noisy, but the more intense the battle, the stronger the cheers.
Soon it was Luo Ning's turn to make his first appearance.
His opponent was a noble son named Yael from the Principality of Firensburg, who was said to be studying at the Royal Knights Academy.
As soon as he appeared on the stage, he attracted cheers from all the nobles of the Principality of Firensburg.
"Yal, beat him hard!"
Harrington Gregor, who had a conflict with Ronin a few days ago, was cheering and shouting.
Although he knew that Yar could not defeat Ronin, he still hoped to leave a few scars on the latter's body.
Compared to the cheers of his opponents, only Tom and David cheered for Ronin. Reese was like a mute.
The ladies in the stands suddenly shouted, which made Ronin confused.
Not only him, but many nobles also didn't understand.
Could this be Blanche's cheering group?
It's unlikely. Blanche doesn't have such a strong appeal, right?
The battle started instantly.
Everyone came back to their senses from their confusion and focused on the martial arts competition.
Everyone has heard the rumors about Ronin's one-on-ten fights in the past few days.
, They also want to see what kind of strength this young knight from the long-lost Wushan family has.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The two knights began to speed up and rushed towards each other, and their speed made a friction sound with the air.
In the first move, they did not use fighting spirit, but just fought hand-to-hand.
In the stands, Blanche's heart was in her throat. She clenched her hands and watched without blinking.
Clang!
The long swords collided, and a violent metal sound burst out.
In the first fight, the knight named Yar was knocked away by the huge impact force and fell heavily to the ground. The long sword in his hand also flew out of his hand and fell far away.
This was a crushing victory.
Tom and David were so excited that they shouted wildly.
Other spectators were no longer stingy when they saw such a scene and cheered.
Yar stood up swayingly and picked up the long sword, "You win!"
Although he could still fight, there was no need.
The gap in strength was too big. If he continued to fight on it, he would not only embarrass himself, but also be seriously injured.
Instead of doing so, it is better to admit defeat in a chic way. After all, it is not a shameful thing to lose in a martial arts competition.
Roning went on the field several more times, but basically won within five moves, including Facundo from Screaming Island.
Although the opponent was bronze-level and stronger than the other opponents, he lost his confidence in front of Roning before the battle even started, and failed very smoothly.
In addition to Roning, there were also several people who won all the time.
Among them were Missy and the ordinary-born knight Karada who was introduced earlier.
As for Reese, he was quite strong, but his luck was not good. He was injured after fighting Karada and admitted defeat and left.
The tournament continued, but fewer and fewer knights could go on stage.
By the afternoon, there were only four people left who could go on stage -
Ronin Wushan, Missy Cox, Franz Silva, and Karada.
The top three were born from these four people. (End of this chapter)
