The Defeated Dragon

Fitted tuxedo, wavy curly hair, plus bright powder forced to brush on the face, fresh out of the oven, Lister, shiny.

“Perfect! ”

Meopole patted Lister on the shoulder: “You'll be the focus of all the women at the prom tonight. ”

“I didn't mean to, maybe in a few years I'll be enthusiastic, and now, I'm sorry cousin, I'm not going to meet any noble ladies. ”

“If you don't mean it, I won't believe it. Rest assured, Lester, the best thing in life is to meet the right people at the right time, not to say just let it go, but to seize the opportunity. ”

“Is that why you've been unmarried for years, cousin? ”

“Don't get me into this, now we're talking about you. ”

Lester shivered his cuffs and Meoppo was quite nice to him. In fact, he wanted to tell his cousin that instead of chasing Grand Duke Sapphire's sociable flower daughter, there was a possibility of changing the Yam family's cage for birds in the future. Instead, he might as well get married to a female nobleman.

But I put it in my mouth and took it back.

This situation must have the will of the Marquis - the Yam clan is arrogant and uneven in its desire to go further, once married to the daughter of the Grand Duke of Sapphire, the family status is unbreakable.

As a small town baron in the country, he'd better not eat rough bread and fuck the Marquis's heart.

After dressing up for a bouquet of flowers, follow Meoppo to the hall where the prom will be held. Three or two aristocrats have arrived and are chatting in the hall to enjoy the drinks prepared by the servants.

“Sir Meoper, can you finally live up to this?” Aristocrats came with glasses.

“It's not prom time yet, don't worry, Martil. ”

Martil looks at Lester: "Who is this? ”

“My cousin, his father was Earl of Coral Island. ”

“It's a Tulip family. Nice to meet you. I'm Matthir Crossbow Stab. ”

“Lister Tulip.” Lester maintained a polite smile, but was not very enthusiastic, he was not a sociable nobleman and was helpless to attend the dance.

But then, helplessness had to endure, constantly introduced by Meoppo, to the young nobles of Red Crab Island. They are basically followers of the Yam family - the Marquis' enclosed nobility, fully loyal to the Marquis.

The interesting thing about the aristocratic system is that

The king's sealed nobility is the king's minister, the nobleman's sealed nobility is the nobleman's minister. But the noblemen are not the king's ministers, let alone loyalty to the king. For example, the Earl of Coral Island, William Lee, is the king's subordinate nobleman, the king's minister, but Lester is not. He only has to serve his father.

After a hundred years of fatherhood, you need to be loyal to your brother Reeves.

“Do you have a pretty lady, if you do, tell me I can hold the wire for you, don't be constrained.” Say hello to the guests, Meoper, and come back to Lester, "and look at your brother, he's perfectly comfortable with the dance scene and has hooked up with three Viscount daughters. ”

With his eyes, he could see Li Weis, who looked alike, not knowing what to say, making a young lady laugh haha.

“And your sister, and some of them gave him a charm. ”

On Levera's side, there are two male aristocrats who are laughing at her —— she's not pretty, but if you ask her a little bit, you can see that Levera has a baron title, which is a quality marriage object for those knights or nobles who can't inherit the family title.

Married, they can continue to enjoy noble status.

Lister raised her hand and touched Meopold: "May they find happiness soon. As for me, cousin, don't worry about me. ”

“Really? ”

“Really.”

“Okay, but I'll still help you keep an eye on the right lady. ”

“It's not necessary.” Lester is speechless, and this cousin is too old. Is he so passionate about being old?

Meoper shrugged his shoulders slightly and whispered to him: “Actually, this is what Grandpa meant. He knows that you are in the Tulip family and are not valued. I hope you can come to Red Crab Island. And I also need help, the Yam family Ding is not thriving, I don't have brothers and sisters, you know, I'd love for you to come. ”

Lester felt that Meoper was telling the truth.

Based on his conversion to the unit of measure, it was basically calculated that Coral Island was equivalent to an area of one metropolitan city, approximately 10,000 square kilometres.

Red Crab Island is ten times the size of Coral Island, about 100,000 square kilometres.

This area corresponds to the size of provinces such as Jiang and Zhejiang. Without roads, the bigger the traffic is, the harder it is to manage. Moreover, nobility is not a totalitarian method. There are more small nobles enclosed, and territorial administration becomes more and more chaotic and even shakes the very roots of the ruling family.

Think about it. It's fake to say that you don't feel comfortable. Flower Town is a poor country. There really isn't much development value.

To develop on Red Crab Island, the Yam family will have to give him at least one level of treatment - the Viscount, to have a small city enclosure.

But to rely on women to achieve this, Lester resisted: "Naturally, cousin, if you like me, I won't miss it, if you don't like me, don't ask me. ”

“Okay.”

……

When the night falls, the ball begins.

Soothing piano tunes, coming from the fingertips of a piano performer, create the right atmosphere for the dance.

As a landlord, Meoper danced the first opening dance with a daughter of the Viscount, then backed off, indicating that everyone was free to partner.

Lister sat in the corner watching young men and women dancing in the middle of the dance floor.

No action taken.

He has measured all the women who attended the prom, tall, fat, thin, ugly, have cognitive, but unfortunately have not moved themselves. Even if several mature women fit his aesthetic philosophy, age is an obstacle - after all, he is only sixteen years old.

At this age, many nobles have begun to slump.

But it's not the marriageable age, it has to be 20 for men and 18 for women to get married.

His gaze crossed the crowd, wondering where it fell in the void, and then for a moment, the invisible smoke gradually emerged, forming a twisted serpentine.

“Task: Fresh and tender alfalfa, not only dairy cows like to eat, but horses like to eat. This is the basis for opening a stable and the start of building a successful business. Please install wormgrass for alfalfa. Reward: Three strains of wild corn. ”

The task has existed for several days and there is a slight impatience in my heart.

“After a few days of delay, the alfalfa grass should have grown, so I guess I can settle the alfalfa when I go back... Wild corn, I don't know what it looks like, should produce at least several times as much as wheat. ”

Just as he pondered the task.

And suddenly there was a yellow, happy voice in his ear: "Hey, Lester, can I sit here? ”

The smoke suddenly dissipated.

Lester looked back and saw that she was a 17-18 year old girl who looked a little like Mary Crowley, the Count's eldest daughter in Downton Manor. Wavy curls of linen hair, pointed nose beams, deep eyelids, and thin lips that look like laughs.

Very standard, more than eighths.

Meoppo introduced him earlier to her, a little daughter of a Viscount named Asina Salmon, whose family is famous for its rich salmon.

Lister gave a gentle smile and extended her hand: "Beautiful lady, you are welcome anywhere. ”
