Chapter 255 Handsome Cinderella
When Karus got the invitation, he was already excited. Grand Duke Lofi's banquet was the highest-sized banquet in Urela.
Because there is a little official* here and a designated supplier of raw materials for military enterprises, Grand Duke Lofi is undoubtedly the most wanty aristocrat in the city.
Even the Aphro consortium, as a competitor, was afraid of the Grand Duke and even had to retreat a little on the scene.
Now Lofi personally sent an invitation and actually invited official dignitaries, so the family of the Avro consortium, the representative of the traditional forces of Urella City, the Duke of Avro, will also be present.
However, in addition to happiness, Karus found that he did not have the strength to attend this banquet at all, even a banquet that met such specifications.
In desperation, Arcado went to borrow a dress from Duke Lofi. This dress was ordinary in Arcado's eyes, but he did not know that the dress was worth 6,000 gold coins and was an expensive dress made by a famous teacher.
I think so, Your Majesty, the richest man in the world came to borrow a dress. Why don't you take out your most expensive and best clothes? Do you dare to take one casually?
In the evening of this day, the banquet was held as scheduled in a grand atmosphere, and Arcado and Dick still looked at the whole gorgeous venue in an inconspicuous corner.
Who would have thought that His Majesty, who should have been worshipped by everyone in the center, would like to hide in the corner to avoid the noise?
When Karus came to the Duke's Palace with the bronzing invitation, he was almost afraid to enter the door by the honor guard in front of him. There was a whole company of soldiers standing exaggeratedly at the door, slowly checking each invitation murderously.
"Karus! You've been here for a long time! Come on! Please go inside, please go inside! Play music!" Seeing his clothes at a glance, Duke Lofi smiled and invited today's "protagonist" into the hall.
was personally greeted by the Duke, and was polite for a long time. Everyone looked curiously at the new faces in this aristocratic circle. As an upstart, this occasion was undoubtedly extremely luxurious.
But at this time, Karus obviously found that his lover was looking at him in surprise in the distance, so he couldn't wait for Duke Lofi to introduce him, and he couldn't wait to go in that direction.
They separated so quickly that only a few nobles at the door saw Duke Lofi contact with the young man, and most of the other nobles did not find this moment.
And Duke Lofi was also embarrassed to disturb Karlus's private lover, so he naturally did not follow up to join in the fun, so he slowed down and changed his direction and talked with the lord of the city.
"Father, he is Karlus, my daughter's favorite person in this life!" Judy proudly told her father what she thought with tears in her eyes.
"Carl? Us? Is he the iron plate producer? How did you know the Duke? Viscount Barna was puzzled: "You know, in addition to your father and me, the people invited today are all senior nobles above the count, as well as military and political officials. Even I don't know why I only invited me as a small role. How could he be invited in?
"Father, please, let my daughter marry Karus, we are..." Before Judy finished her words, Karus came to them.
After bowing deeply, Karus looked nervously at his future "father-in-law" and officially introduced himself: "Lord Bana, I am Karus, a worker technician at the 474 factory. Please, please, please, please be sure to marry Judy to me!"
In the end, he said the purpose of his trip directly, which made Viscount Barna stunned on the spot and made Judy blush.
Bana was stunned for a while, but smiled, patted Karlus on the shoulder and said, "Young man, I know that you and my daughter met in a chance encounter, and you are also very capable, but you still lack a reason for me to agree. I don't want to marry my daughter to an unknown mediocre person. ."
"Hahaha, well said! Viscount Bana is becoming more and more talkative. I'm very optimistic about you!" Dressed in gorgeous clothes, the Marquis of Pruett appeared in the sight of Karlius with his son.
With a contemptuous face, Prud's son took a step forward, looked at Calus provocatively, curled his lips and said, "Viscount Bana, I remember that my father also asked you for marriage. It seems that you have one more choice now. I hope you don't forget the value of that business." The tone is very bad.
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Karlius: "Yoh! I didn't see that this is a civilian! Unexpectedly, he also wore a nobleman's clothes. Hahaha, it's a pity that he is just a civilian wearing beautiful clothes. Garbage is garbage!"
"You!" Carus was insulted and naturally couldn't let go of his face. What's more, Judy and Bana beside him were still watching, and they were about to attack but were interrupted.
The Marquis of Pruett usually loves his son the most, otherwise it is impossible to blackmail others for his son's preferences. After all, it is a means to hurt others and himself.
The Marquis Prud stood in front of Karus with a wine glass, smiled and asked loudly, "You are just a commoner. Why did you sneak into the banquet? The price of a dress is not cheap. Can people like you afford it? It's not stolen, is it?"
Karus was slandered as a thief and naturally refused to give in. He said loudly, "Marquis, no matter how poor I am, I am a person with a proper career. This suit was borrowed by my friend. I hope you don't slander my character."
The Marquis of Pruett snorted coldly and laughed, "Am I slandering you? Humph, I'm afraid that the fact that you are a thief will be exposed today!" The little nobles of the Avro consortium on the side also agreed, and the scene was already very ugly.
Judi, who was beside her, obviously couldn't stand the insult of her pet. She broke away from Bana's arm and said loudly, "I lent him this dress!" Why do you say he stole it?
"Ignorant lady, don't be fooled by the appearance of this poor boy. He is clearly a thief!" The son of the Marquis of Pruett said with a sneer.
Count Dewa beside him swayed forward with a big belly, pointed to Karus's clothes and said, "Yesterday I lost a set of identical dresses, and I didn't expect to wear it on a poor man's body!" Come on! Peel it off!" The lie is so explicit that I don't see how my figure can wear such thin clothes.
