Chapter 223: And so, I became the duke!

For the first few minutes, no one approached me. I could see a lot of people eyeballing me. They had rather frivolous clothes. 

Nobles.                         

The atmosphere was rather friendly though. There were normal people and fancy people. Never thought I'd see those two variants at once. It was almost ironic. 

The music soothed my ears while the perfume charmed my nose. I still preferred the smell of leaves and flowers though.

"Sir, wou-would-"A guy approached me. His suit was patched up here and there with different kinds of cloths.

"What is it? Oh, and I haven't caught your name."

It was the same guard who I kept running into last night. He was the first one to approach me in this place. So I figured the least I could do was try to talk.

"I-I'm Vane-dict Brice- Sir!"

"You don't have to be so nervous. You weren't this nervous two nights ago." 

He was acting a bit weird.
