Reus and other four had little hairstyle change that made them look more like a noble now and girls got light make up on their faces
As soon as everyone came out Sam directly asked Klaus who seemed to be waiting for them
"Oh! Klaus? Did they forget to prepare you too?"
Klaus grinned and pointed at his face with a confident smile "Do you think I need to increase charm of this face?"
As soon as he said it triggered the nerves of every being present there but still they had no words to deny it
Klaus's charm, charisma and luck were off the charts even for the system
"Hahaha! Anyways jokes aside I don't expect anyone of you to know the norms of the meeting, so I will teach you some basics or else your actions might get seen as disrespect to Emperor..."
Each of them were embarrassed by truth and felt shivers because of possible results of the meeting and just nodded like maniacs
Like that the remaining time also passed and each one of them were now standing in front of a doors which opened up to imperial hall
Klaus had already instructed them and went inside before them, everyone of them were standing there with slight nervous faces
Next moment doors leading inside the hall suddenly opened and Reus and his friends noticed the charismatic Emperor sitting on higher ground on his throne and a crown on his head
Two knights stood by his side with extremely profound aura and other nobles including Klaus and the Prince were standing on the sidelines
Reus and his friends went straight forward and after reaching the place all of them knelt to the Emperor and greeted in unison
"We are honoured to greet the Sun of Empire!"
The Emperor nodded with a smile and signalled a man standing with a scroll in his hands
The man nodded and started reading the scroll with an imperial seal on it
"Under the command of Emperor Reus Ragnar, the second son of Ragnar family will be awarded with the title of 'Viscount' for his achievements
He managed to find the traitor involved with evil cult and eliminated the traitor despite the huge risk on his life for the people of Empire
Along with that he has reached peak of Tier 7 at mere age of 24! And even proved his talents throughout the competitions making the Empire's reputation higher!"
Reus looked amazed and surprised by the sudden announcement but still didn't over react because of Klaus's earlier instructions
"I'm grateful for the Emperor's Grace!"
The Emperor just nodded with a smile, all the nobles, the imperial Prince and Klaus's gaze went over Reus kneeling there
Next the man with the scroll continued and said "The individual named 'Yumiko Sakurachi', 'Sam Ridens', 'Ariana Grande' and 'Anna Broadens' will also be rewarded with title of 'Baron' for their assistance to Viscount Reus!
They have also showed unique talents throughout the years in their fields of expertise!"
"We are grateful for the Emperor's Grace!"
The others also thanked Klaus in unison and just as they were about to stand up for the official ceremony suddenly the man continued again
"Because of the incredible achievement of saving the city of eastern sea_ Cordelia from the mysterious raid from high ranking monsters with the help of his subordinates
Not only did he save the important guests of Empire but even did the whole process of extermination in silence at night to avoid any panic with no intentions of gaining reputation
The Emperor has also announced with his authority to promote Marquis Klaus De Whiteblood to the status of 'Duke' and officially grant him the territory of 'Leight Genesis'
He will be the new lord of territory and regain the peace of that territory after the death of the last traitor slayed by Viscount Reus Ragnar!"
Klaus became immensely shocked but still went in front of the emperor and knelt for official procedures
Klaus's gaze went upwards and he noticed the prince and the emperor blinking at him with smug faces
'They are trying to pin me down with a territory ha? Is this the Imperial way of telling his nephew to settle down after becoming an adult, well my plans aren't much different...'
"I'm grateful for the Emperor's Grace and considering me worthy of such a reward..."
Klaus said those words with a very calm face but real chaos was going on inside the minds of all nobles and Reus's party
The Emperor walked down and moved his sword to the shoulders of Klaus and others to make the titles official
"Stand..."
The Emperor commanded and next moment all of them stood up, the emperor was standing right in front of Klaus with a smile on his face
"I have high expectations from you..."
The Emperor said to Klaus with a sly grin, Klaus also nodded and replied
"I will just try my best to meet your expectations then"
Hearing Klaus's chill reply the Emperor continued with a teasing tone "Haha! Then I will work you to your very bones"
Klaus heard this and immediately replied with a grin on his face "I almost forgot to tell you, my father wanted to have dinner with yo-"
"Dismissed!"
Klaus words were cut in the middle by the Emperor's words, the emperor immediately rushed back with sweats on face and like that the day of procedures ended with a surprising turn of events
And now was the time for the harvest festival celebration at night, Klaus had disguised himself as commoner with brown hairs and green eyes and went to the common outer circle of capital for the festival
"Yahoo! Finally time for a good time!!!"
"Let's go go go!"
"Hmm"
The fairies and Elena also seemed quite excited for the festival so they also followed Klaus outside for the festival at night
Today the streets were quite crowded with many people walking towards a common point with their family and friends
Klaus also made his way there along with Elena and invicible mode fairies,
'Ha~ this brings back memories from past world... We also used to celebrate big festivals with a lot of joy, but they really went all out for this one!'
Klaus observed the streets, despite being night the whole place was filled with light and the look of joy was quite clear in their faces
Klaus kept walking with a satisfied face and without even noticing the time Klaus arrived at the core place of the festival where Reus and others were already waiting for him there and there seemed to be one more guy in hood
"Hi~ Klaus~!!!"
As soon as Klaus came Anna immediately called him out with a big grin on get face, everyone also showed their hands with a smile
Klaus went directly to them and said "When will it be starting?"
"They said it will be at midnight, we still have 2 hours for that, why don't we explore the streets till then?"
Reus immediately suggested with an excited bright face, and next moment suddenly Sam pointed towards Elena and asked
"Who is she Klaus, your fiance? Hmm? Hmm?"
There was a perverted dog-like look on his face, Klaus pushed his face away from him and introduced Elena
"This is Elena my direct subordinate, and an excellent..."
Klaus suddenly stopped in the middle of his words and after looking at Elena who was cutely tilting her head Klaus continued
"... Administration assistant?"
Everyone also nodded seeing the bright light of dignity coming out of her like endless light from sun
Klaus sighed and his gaze moved towards the hooded man, Klaus seeing him asked
"And ?"
The man smiled and took off his hood, he currently looked like black haired young man with the same age range as Klaus
But Klaus immediately recognised him and asked "Wh-what are you doing here!?! This isn't a place for someone like you!?"
'The fuck is Prince doing in a place like this!!?'
Klaus was surprised to find the prince disguised as commoner walking around the place with a chill face
The prince immediately smiled and replied with a very calm face "Haha! Just call me 'Deus' here, I have been sneaking into the festival before you were even born! And I'm just waiting for my friends..."
Klaus looked confused and with a sigh he spread his hands towards the prince and said "You didn't even bring any guards or armour with you, we can't take risks with your life..."
As Klaus said a cube appeared in his hands and as soon as that cube touched the prince it immediately turned into dark liquid and went directly inside prince's clothes making a thin but strong cover all over his body
"O-oh ooohhhhh~~ this is amazing! Is this a new product of the Golden Turtle Organisation!!!! This seems like some kind of ancient technology!!!"
The prince immediately shouted with a wide smile all over his face, Klaus smiled and replied "Well this is just a trial product but guess it will be more than enough for now"
"Amazing! Please make one for me too! I will give you whatever price you want!!!"
The prince immediately shouted with an excited face, Klaus just gave him a nod but just then Klaus also noticed the sparkling eyes of Reus and others
After agreeing to the prince's request Klaus also noticed the sparkling eyes of Reus and others
"Well I will make armour for Reus too, and some things for you guys too..."
Hearing Klaus's reply all eyes immediately became super bright and everyone cheered
"You are the best Klaus!!!"
"Then make a sharp transformer bow for me!!"
"I want a martial staff like magician staff!!"
"Thank you!!!"
Everyone hugged Klaus with joy but only sigh and then a smile came from Klaus's face
'Well this armour 'is' meant for Reus, because Reus can't get any divine artifacts so I need something for replacement
The weakness of Reus can directly affect the fate of the world and there are still many factors that weren't written in the novel and can only be solved by the protagonist
I can't just appear everywhere to solve all problems, the butterfly effect of my interference is already huge,
It's already time for 'Rift Arc' too...'
What Klaus said wasn't wrong, it was true the world was in chaos because of Klaus interference but it was also because of Klaus holding everything on his own right now that the world is still existing
Klaus's interference stopped any need for all the kingdoms and Empire to join the treaty against the upcoming attacks of Devils
But with this the commotion of large scale migration was also avoided that took lives of 25% lives of those who migrated in the journey
Klaus directly slaughtered the 6th and 7th Devils that were the cause of it from the start,
Then the Gluttony Devil was supposed to come much more faster and directly create the whole city of Devils disguised as humans
This took the life of another millions of people before Reus even got news of it, followed by the large scale massacre of Wrath Devil
Under that massacre the whole Capital should have been wiped out from existence today at harvest festival leaving only Reus and his party who escaped because of the sacrifice of Emperor
The Emperor also considered Reus the last hope of humanity because of his achievements at the novel but now
"Hey, let's try this one, it smells good right!!?"
Anna brought a lot of skewers for herself and went around different shops with quick feet
The fairies and Elena also took their time eating their share of snacks with bright faces
"So when will your friends be coming here?"
Klaus asked the prince while chewing on his skewers, the prince kept walking and replied "Guess they got busy somewhere, they must be arriving soon here but Klaus I have a little suggestion for you..."
Klaus turned back to look at him and asked "What suggestion?"
The prince suddenly turned serious and replied "The territory you have received is subject to a lot of envy, your neighbouring lords might try to wage territory war with you
A lord cannot participate in territory war directly from the start, those guys are so greedy that they won't care about your backers
Even the Central nobility isn't safe there, many of them are actually near the borders of Empire so their forces are also much stronger
You can't take help of Whiteblood Family in these matters too, the world of nobility and adventurers are different
You will need stronger subordinates..."
After hearing the term 'Stronger Subordinates' many images of certain Mother of Spirits, Undead Queen, Certain strongest ancient, a black beast, a dragon whose every part of existence was shouting I'm the cheat,
Triple Tier 10 fairies, A Dragonoid team, 3 Tier 9 Subordinates, Shadow assassins, a focking merchant organisation controlling 9.7% of world's wealth 6-7 almighty Golem legion with four cheat beings and the army who had sworn loyalty to Klaus flashed right through Klaus's mind
Prince had given all these suggestions from his decades of experience and clean heart but after hearing all this Klaus looked at him as if he was looking at idiot
"You don't know? I have legions who have sworn their loyalty to me..."
As Klaus said that suddenly the eyes of Prince widened in realisation and he immediately started talking on his own
"Hahaha! I-i know! I was just saying you should get used to noble politics! O-oh! Look! My friends are here! I should get going!!!"
Saying that the prince immediately rushed away, he directly went to two figures who were in obvious disguise
'So his friends were Brother Arwin and Sister Sarah... Well that's to be expected...'
Klaus easily managed to see the faces of his siblings with his eyes and turned back to his friends to enjoy the festival to fullest
"Elena! Let's try that one too!"
Klaus dragged Elena along with her and fairies were already following him
They used the remaining time to explore various festival shops and different peoples who came here from different parts of Empire
After going around different places all over the festival area, Klaus had noticed many people he knew had come here under disguise or plainly
Like the employees of his organisation, adventurers, Guildmaster, Sania, his own subordinates
Robert and Lumina too, but in their case it seems more like Lumina dragging him all over the place to taste variety of foods in her free vacation
"It seems to be starting! Let's get going now!"
Ariana suddenly said that, others also looked at the direction and then rushed in hurry
A lot of dry woods had been gathered at the centre of the place and everyone had surrounded the place
The place where all the woods had been gathered had a lot of space, it was enough to fit a big noble house there
Suddenly the big pile of woods got ignited by fire and large flames erupted from the woods
"Oh!!! Flames this time are huge!"
"Waahh!! It's so beautiful..."
"Let's start! What are you dazing off for?"
"Come on!!!"
The people started getting excited and various musical instruments suddenly started getting played by many people there
All the people distanced themselves from the large flames and everyone started dancing with their pairs
"Hey! Anna let's go!"
Sam immediately caught Anna and both also joined the dance group with wide smiles on their faces
Klaus and Ariana were still standing there looking at Reus and Yumiko blushing while staring at each other on their own
"Get going! What are you doing!?"
"Just go!!"
Klaus pushed Reus and Ariana pushed Yumiko towards each other for the dance
Reus and Yumiko somehow caught each other's hands and started dancing with red faces
Both of them had their own presence even among the huge crowd, Klaus looked towards Ariana who was still alone and said
"Do you have any partner, if not the-"
As Klaus was saying suddenly Ariana's father popped in the middle and caught Ariana's hands and replied
"Who are you brat? Even if you have a good face I won't give my daughter to you!"
Ariana's father out of nowhere started scolding Klaus and after that he turned around to his daughter to sweet face and said
"Let's go sweety! Don't get trapped by the sweet words of these men, they all are beast except your father of course~"
With that Ariana also left to dance with her father after making an apologetic face to Klaus
Klaus just stood there for a few seconds along with Elena and fairies with a stupid face and suddenly a loud burst of laughter escaped his mouth
"Hahaha! Man, he's really a fool for his daughter! Hahaha"
Elena also couldn't help but to smile seeing what just happened and fairies already had that personality of being too good
"He really just ignored the Saint while being a priest!"
"I-i can't... My stomach hurts.. ahahaha!"
"Imagine his face after he realises that!"
After a few minutes the laughter finally calmed down and next Klaus offered his hands to Elena
"Shall we have a dance then?"
As Klaus said, Elena immediately gave a straightforward reply with a straight face
"No, I don't know how to dance"
Hearing her reply Klaus became shocked and he questioned "Aren't you queen?"
"Queen of demons"
Elena corrected Klaus with a robotic face, Klaus started getting nervous and he questioned
"Then why don't you know about dance!"
"I forgot..."
Hearing that reply Klaus just stood there with dead fish eyes but still asked
"How?"
"It's already been thousands of years since I danced last time and I don't like such things"
"Then what do you like?"
"Drink. Sleep. Fight."
Elena's reply was truly a replica of her normal daily life, just like an introvert with a beautiful face, she just keeps sleeping the whole day and only awakens to either drink or fight
'In conclusion get personality is lazy as fuck, I guess it's that skill 'Demon's dignity' that is holding her noble image on its back
Ha~ shall I summon someone for the dance or something?'
Klaus was just thinking but next moment suddenly out of nowhere Sol Walpurgis alias 'Klaus's one and only Fiance' rushed in front of him with sweats and grin on her face
"Sorry lady! I will be dancing with my fiance today!"
Sol immediately told Elena with a wide smile on her face which looked quite charismatic in the light of the huge flames in front of her face
