Landen followed Court Baron into the side hall, and finally saw Dragon Kingdom King Dusen·White-Owl and Richie·Red-Dragon.

King has a plump face, piercing light blue eyes, a golden crown on his head decorated with animal shapes, and is wearing a red dress with many medals arranged on it.

King His Majesty of Golden Knight is nearly 4 meters tall, and looks like a giant to Landen.

In comparison, Prince Richie at the Great Knight level looks very friendly. Prince's face shape is very close to His Majesty, but his eyes are beautiful gold, which shows his identity as Dragonborn.

Prince Richie is wearing a dark red dress with the Duke badge that was just awarded to her. Dragon Kingdom's red starburst Gemstone badge is paired with a blue Gemstone ribbon, which is very conspicuous.

Landen, who was awarded the title for his military exploits, was the first noble to be canonized. When he walked in front of King, he felt the pressure brought by Golden Knight.

Landen knelt down on one knee, and Wang Gang tapped Landen's left shoulder with his scepter. The canonization of Landen was over.

"Well done, Kingdom hasn't had a big victory like yours for a long time." After Landen got up, Dusen King whispered to Landen.

"Thank you His Majesty" Landen felt the huge pressure and was almost speechless.

"Liel told me, you young people should communicate more with each other." After Dusen finished this meaningless sentence, the Attendant officer of King took Landen to Richie Duke's side.

"Landen Viscount, it's nice to meet you. I hope we can chat more at the lunch later." Richie's smile is kind and graceful, which is the result of good palace training.

"As you wish, Your Highness." In contrast, Landen could only pretend to smile.

After being sealed, Landen was directly led by Court Baron to the Banquet Hall, which is Richie Duke had a luncheon, and Richie and King had at least two hours of travel ahead of them. Before the banquet actually started, Landen could only chat with acquaintances in the Banquet Hall.

Banquet Hall is located on the periphery of the Royal Palace. It is an independent circular building with a dome. After entering, the periphery of the building is a buffet table, there are some tables in the middle, and the middle is a venue for performances and dancing.

In this Banquet Hall, which is several times larger than the Blue Dragon Family ballroom, Landen met everyone he met in Royal Capital, including his own Knight Dugan, Tierney, Medici, Antrechi, and even John Mage, who was in charge of the Knight qualification examination, were also present.

With so many acquaintances appearing at the same time, Landen felt that a conspiracy against him was underway.

John Mage is holding a new novel with Landen's boss--Corbin Count communicated, "Captain, I am reading a new book <Suldak Dragon Knight Biography> recently, which is the latest work of the author of <Jija Mage Biography>. There are Elf and Succubus in it."

"Look at this illustrated edition, how beautiful it is!" As he spoke, John turned to the illustrations of Succubus, and did not dare to touch the pages with his hands for fear of damaging them.

"Old John, your hobbies have really not changed at all." Corbin said with a smile, his eyes never leaving the illustrations. "You just like illustrated heroic stories."

"Hey, Captain, haven't you changed too?" John was not to be outdone, "I just like to see the story of little Knight marrying a noble daughter and becoming a great lord."

The two old guys with gray beards were really beaming and happy when they communicated, which made the acquaintances around them want to pretend not to know them.

"Dugan, isn't it my imagination? There are so many teachers from schools here?" Landen specifically found Dugan and wanted to confirm the purpose of bringing all the teachers from Blue Dragon School here.

"You read that right, all teachers with big noble surnames have received invitations." Dugan also frowned, mentally counting the people present.

"Hahaha, Gleia, you are really joking. Who else could be more suitable than you?" "That's right, you and Richie also grew up together."

Amidst the chatter, a group of women in red dresses walked into the Banquet Hall. They were like a burst of flame, igniting the atmosphere inside the Banquet Hall.

There are 16 women in this group. The leader is 2.6 meters tall, which is similar to Richie·Blue Dragon who has just been promoted to Great Knight. She has brown hair, heroic brows, and light blue Gemstone eyes. As soon as she entered the hall, she scanned the whole place and stayed on Landen for a few seconds.

"Sir, that lady is the legitimate wife of His Highness Richie, Duchess who was just canonized, Great Knight Susi·Lanyuan" Dugan whispered to Landen.

"Great Knight?" Landen was a little surprised, "This Royal Capital is just different."

"Susie·Lanyuan is a rare genius Knight even in the entire empire. It is said that her mount is a Griffin."

"Rich!" Landen has never seen a flying magical beast since he came here.

The women behind Susi came in surrounded by the taller Gleia·Blue Dragon. The taller Dragon Girl blushed., lowered his head, and suddenly heard a girl around him talking about "Gallop Plains". He looked up and saw Landen·Gallop looking at him, and his face turned redder.

"The people surrounding Gleia behind are her maids?" Landen saw Gleia being so shy for the first time, so she could only continue to ask Dugan.

"Look what you said, those are Richie Duke's concubines." Dugan spoke in such a calm tone that even Landen was a little surprised.

"Are they all his concubines?" Landen thought to himself. If he had known that he had given Richie some tonics, even Great Knight wouldn't be able to deal with 16 women Mana-Wielder taking turns.

"No wonder" Landen muttered in a low voice. No wonder the high-level nobles' requirements must be High-Rank, otherwise their own Inner Palace wouldn't be able to cope with it.

"Sir? Duchess is here," Dugan reminded Landen, and then quickly saluted Susi.

Susie·Lanyuan's pace was clearly in line with court etiquette, but to Landen, she looked like a Knight who was eyeing her opponent.

"Landen Viscount?" Before Landen could reach him, Susi took the initiative to say hello with a smile.

"Duchess, hello to you." Landen used the most standard court etiquette as much as possible, for fear that Duchess would find fault.

"Richie always told me that you stood up in front of Barbarian. You are really a role model for the Kingdom nobles."

"It's my honor." Landen has an illusion that this Duchess is not good at giving in and giving in. Her complimenting herself so bluntly means that things will be more troublesome for her later.

"Royal Capital, Richie and I are very sorry that people like you did not stay here." Susi stared at Landen, as if waiting for him to speak.

Landen naturally didn't dare to speak, so he could only smile and try to get through this little time.

"But it doesn't matter if you are far away from Gallop Plains. I have a cousin who is also your classmate at Blue Dragon School. Now she is Junior Knight." Susie looked at a girl not far away. "She has always wanted to get to know you. I will introduce her to you soon."
