Age of Empires From Scratch

Although Her Highness the Princess led her around the corridor for a long time, she finally came to the Etiquette Officer.

The next question came, who should he turn to?

Walking into the spacious front hall of the etiquette department, David just looked around, and before he had time to ask, someone had already greeted him: "My lord baron, what can I do?"

"I am Baron David Glamorgan, and His Majesty the King has asked me to come here to find an officer of ceremonies."

Before David could finish his sentence, the person who was asking the question already understood why David came: "It turns out to be Lord Baron Glamorgan. Please follow me, and I will take you to see the ceremonial officer who is in charge of assisting you."

"Oh, sorry to trouble you."

"Your Majesty the Baron is very polite."

Following the middle-aged man in court uniform, he was soon led to a lounge: "My lord baron, wait a moment, I'll go and inform the ceremonial officer to come and report to you."

After expressing his thanks again, David waited quietly and took a look at the lounge by the way.

The lounge is not big, but it is simple but reveals luxury—every piece of furniture is decorated with gold or gemstones, and the luxurious atmosphere cannot be concealed at all.

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

"Nice to meet you, Lord Baron Glamorgan. I will be the ceremonial 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 carefully looked at the young etiquette officer in front of him. He could sense a bit of unnaturalness from the other person's expression. It seemed that the assistant taught him this job. This young etiquette officer Not willing to take over.

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

But where 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 newly developed territory and the latest frontier of the Kingdom of Tilan. It can be predicted that the living environment there will not be so good.

The actual situation was similar to David's guess. The ceremonial officers had read the relevant documents, and they had just designed several family crests for Baron Glamorgan.

Many ceremonial officials didn't care about the fact that Cold Winter Town had a population of several hundred in such a short period of time after its establishment, and they didn't care about any newly discovered high-yield crops. They all noticed one thing: Cold Winter Town was very cold, and the winter was particularly long.

Even if winter is over now, but they will stay in that kind of place for a whole year, winter is unavoidable at all.

Poor living conditions, young rural nobility with no background, what kind of bloody job is this?

Therefore, any etiquette officer with some background and some influence is unwilling to take this job, and finally throws this job to the person who is the most inconspicuous, has the least background, and is usually only bullied by everyone.

Elias Parker thus became the ceremonial officer in charge of instructing Baron David Glamorgan on various aristocratic etiquette and corresponding affairs.

"Lord Baron, do you know anything about the next thing to deal with?" Since this job is mandatory, Elias Parker has no right to refuse. Now he can only do his best to complete the job and strive for an early The year passed.

In any case, being able to guide and assist a new nobleman will add a lot to his work resume, and maybe 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. This is the most authentic countryman. It is impossible to expect him to know what to do after becoming a nobleman.

"According to the normal process, the baron needs to design the family crest... This matter has been completed, and then go to the Kingdom Archives to complete the personal file." Speaking of this, Elias signaled David to leave here with him, and stepped aside He got to the door, and waited for David to go out first before following him: "If the baron has any private matters to deal with, you can go back first, and I will go to the file room to get the blank file."

David thought for a while and decided to go back to the hotel first: "Do you know where I live?"

"Yes, Bauhinia Hotel."

"Then I'll wait for you at the hotel."

"Okay, my lord." Elias didn't feel any dissatisfaction. As an etiquette officer, after being assigned to assist the new nobleman, his duties included helping the new nobleman handle various procedures, which means that this is his work.

Accompanying David all the way out of the palace, Elias turned back and went to the archives to fetch all the necessary documents.

After David left the palace, he was about to stroll back to the hotel, but Sutton Stewart's attendants were already waiting outside the palace.

"Lord Baron Glamorgan." It can be seen that the attendant has received accurate information: "I am the servant of Lord Earl Stuart, and the Lord told me to wait for you here and take you back to your residence."

"Oh, I'll trouble you then." David glanced at the carriage parked next to him, but it wasn't the one he was familiar with (with the bug installed), this one was much smaller and could only allow two people to sit side by side in the carriage inside.

"The baron is too polite."

Watching David respectfully get into the carriage, the attendant closed the door before sitting next to the coachman. Without further instructions, the coachman drove the carriage and drove towards the Bauhinia Hotel.

Not long after, the carriage arrived at the destination, and the attendant immediately got out of the carriage and opened the door, and even opened the hotel door for David first.

Nodding to the attendant, David wanted him to thank Earl Stewart on his behalf, but as soon as he entered the hotel, he saw Earl Sutton Stewart sitting in the lobby, obviously waiting for him.

"Aha! Look, it's Lord David Glamorgan." Standing up, he said in an exaggerated voice, "Welcome!"

"..."

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

"My ceremonial officer went to fetch those papers for me."

"Oh, yes!" Stuart nodded: "According to the usual practice, you will be assigned an etiquette officer to guide you in handling various related matters."

Having said that, Earl Stewart changed into a sympathetic expression as if thinking of something: "The ceremonial officer assigned to you must be miserable at ordinary times."

What David could think of, Stuart also thought of. Given the situation in Cold Winter Town, no etiquette officer is willing to take the job on his own initiative, and it must be thrown to some unlucky guy in the end.

"Which unlucky guy was assigned to be your personal ceremonial 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.

"You know him?"

"The youngest son of Baron Parker's family, I have seen him several times before, but since Baron Parker passed away, I haven't seen him again."

At present, the human countries on the Brennia continent basically have the same title system. It is said that they all originated from the title system of the Soduruma Empire. From high to low, they are Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron.

Among them, barons are not hereditary.

This is also an important reason why Elias Parker's life was not very satisfactory after Baron Parker passed away, because the most important pillar of the family was gone.

However, at any rate, they are also descendants of nobles. They have received various educations since they were young. When their father was around, they were well connected. Although the sons are no longer nobles, they will not turn back into ordinary people. kind of officials.

After chatting about Elias Parker, David had a better understanding of some situations. Only then did Stuart express his intentions: "I have prepared a celebration party for you...don't If you refuse, many knights from the Tiran Knights, alchemists from the kingdom's alchemy workshop, and mages from the Tiran Mages will come."

After hearing this, David immediately understood that this was actually a job fair held for him. After becoming a baron, he would definitely not be able to handle everything by himself. Before returning to Cold Winter Town, recruit some powerful It's a normal thing to help.

"You don't have to worry about my bad intentions. This party is actually what he meant." Earl Stewart reminded David in a low voice, letting David understand that this time it was all arranged by His Majesty the King, so don't worry about yourself What kind of tricks are you doing?

David immediately understood that His Majesty the King wanted to frighten the nobles of Iron Tree Castle. Of course, he couldn't just confer a title and finish the job, and he had to give some support as appropriate.

If David's guess is correct, some people should have received His Majesty's instruction to take advantage of this job fair to accept his invitation and follow him to Cold Winter Town.

Of course, David believed that the Earl Stewart in front of him would also add some sand to 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 Tilan.

"Holding it at your residence?"

"Yes, I'll send someone to pick you up later, I'll go back first." Earl Stewart was about to leave after finishing speaking, but he took it back before his foot landed: "By the way, go up Is there any more gifts like the one from last time?"

"I'll bring some more to the past."

Earl Stuart nodded in satisfaction, gave David a look of "you are my confidant", and left the Bauhinia Hotel happily.
