The Knight's Journey to the Empire

"Baron Soran, you are so lucky! You have won the favor of today's ball protagonist so quickly!" As Viscount Ayudukai left with Miss Vivian, a young nobleman walked up to Soran and teased him casually.

He is Comer Emil, the eldest son of Baron Antnonst Emil.

Comer Emil took the initiative to make friends with Soran, and Soran also wanted to make friends and chat.

Therefore, the two of them hit it off immediately, and soon they were chatting happily like good friends who had not seen each other for many years.

Just now he saw Viscount Ayudukai coming over to toast Soran, so he deliberately avoided him!

"Knight Comer, don't talk nonsense! Miss Vivian is just curious! How could I possibly win her favor?" Sorenhao said with a nonchalant smile.

Sauron actually knew the multiple purposes of this coming-of-age ball.

But compared to this, Soran hoped to establish good relationships with these nobles, or the heirs of the nobles, and completely integrate into the aristocratic circle here.

Hearing this, Comer Emil continued with a smile and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. I've been watching from the side the whole time! Miss Vivian looked at you with such affectionate eyes that she seemed to be falling for you! I guess you can win her heart at today's coming-of-age ceremony ball!"

"Really?" Soran looked confused.

Just now he was so focused on talking with Viscount Ayudukai that he didn't notice the change in Miss Vivian's expression.

"You don't believe it! How about we make a bet?" Knight Comer asked with a sly smile.

“Tell me! What’s the bet?” Soran’s interest seemed to be aroused.

Because he had just observed Miss Vivian and found that she was indeed a little careless while accompanying Viscount Ayudukai to toast the guests.

And his eyes were indeed paying attention to him intentionally or unintentionally.

This made Soran feel excited: Maybe Miss Vivian really likes me a little bit!

"Let's bet that after Miss Vivian finishes her toast, she will definitely drag her father to find you first and ask you to tell them about your meritorious deeds in the West! What do you think?" Knight Comer was full of confidence, as if everything was expected.

"Are you so sure? Then what are you betting on?" Sauron said with some dissatisfaction.

Knight Comer immediately took out a purse from his pocket, shook it and said, "If I lose, this purse will be yours! How about it!"

"Okay!" Soran agreed immediately.

This purse makes a jingling sound when it is shaken, so there must be a lot of coins in it!

"What if you lose?" Knight Comer asked back.

"I lost! Then you are awesome!" Soran said sincerely.

"Do you think I'm so awesome? What is this? Are you going to bet with me on this?" Knight Comer looked at Soran with a puzzled look on his face.

He never thought that Baron Sauron would be so shameless that he would actually bet with him!

"Yes, even if you are powerful! Don't underestimate it! It represents the highest honor of winning or losing a bet between men!" Soran still looked sincere.

Knight Comer was completely speechless!

But what can Sauron do?

The territory's finances are barely functioning, so where is the extra money left for him to squander?

Moreover, in this bet, it is obvious that the probability of losing is greater!

After all, this can't be my illusion!

..............................

Soren Lipton, a 19-year-old hereditary baron, is an entry-level knight in his knight training. He was praised and rewarded by Marquis Saladin and Prince Leo II in the Western War. He has a noble status and strong strength.

This resume is definitely a template for a young and promising person with a bright future!

Moreover, as an important guest attending today's coming-of-age ball, he is naturally the focus of much attention.

So ever since Viscount Ayudukai came to toast, there have been a constant stream of noble ladies coming to talk to him.

The meaning is self-evident.

And Soran, relying on his excellent communication skills and clever language skills, got along well with these noble ladies and wives.

After a short while, amidst the laughter, Soran forged deep friendships and bonds with the nobles and their families.

If he hadn't remembered the bet with Knight Comer, he might have gone out with some noble lady or lady, accompanying her in front of flowers, strolling under the moon, and chatting about life!

Over there, although Miss Vivian was following her father in toasting other guests, she was secretly observing the situation on Soran's side from the corner of her eye.

Baron Soran seemed to have some special magic that kept attracting her attention.

This made her feel secretly happy, but also a little nervous, for fear of being discovered!

When Vivian saw so many noble ladies and wives surrounding Soran, chatting happily and laughing, she felt a little uncomfortable.

That's jealousy!

On the one hand, they were annoyed with those noble ladies and wives, thinking that they were snatching away things that they cared about very much.

The other side is watching them talking and laughing, having a lot of fun, and I also want to join in and want to know what they are talking about!

Under the influence of this mood, Miss Vivian became a little impatient!

Her heart felt like it was being tickled, and she really wanted to go over and join in the fun!

but……

Every time Viscount Ayudukai toasted a guest, he would stay and chat for a few minutes.

Sometimes, when the two of them were chatting happily, they would even sit down and talk in detail.

This made Vivian, who was following beside her, extremely anxious!

But as the protagonist of today, she can neither leave on her own nor act too anxious!

So I could only sit down and accompany him!

But Miss Vivian was sitting there, looking really impatient and uncomfortable!

Finally, Vivian couldn't stand it anymore, so she forcefully pulled her father away and went to toast the next guest!

……

It seemed like a long time had passed, and Vivian felt like she was living a year in a day!

When her father toasted the last guest, she finally breathed a sigh of relief: This wine! Finally, the toast is over!

"Dad, didn't you just say that you wanted to go listen to Baron Soran talk about his experiences in the West? Let's go over there quickly!" Vivian hugged her father's arm and pretended to say casually.

"Really? Vivian, I think it's you who wants to go!" Viscount Ayudukai had noticed the changes in his daughter a long time ago, so he teased her intentionally.

"No, I went with my father because he wanted to go!" Vivian tried to cover it up.

Little did she know that her little trick had already been seen through by her own father!

"But I suddenly don't want to go now. I want to go to your Uncle Biber to discuss business!" Viscount Ayudukai said deliberately.

Having said that, he prepared to leave, as if he really didn't plan to go to Baron Sauron!

"No! Dad, you can't go! You can't go to see Uncle Bieber!" Seeing this, Vivian hurriedly grabbed her father's hand to stop him.

But soon she realized that she seemed too eager, so she lowered her head shyly.

"Oh, Vivian, tell me why I can't go?" Viscount Ayudukai asked with a smile.

"I don't care! You just can't go!" Seeing that her father was still trying to tease her, Vivian started to act like a spoiled child: "Oh! Dad, just take me with you! I want to hear that!"

"Okay, okay! I'll take you there! You've really grown up!" Viscount Ayudukai finally couldn't resist his daughter's coquetry and took her there.

Who made me have only this one daughter?

And he also wanted to know more about Baron Sauron!
