Chapter 24 - CHAPTER 23

All the personnel gathered in the mansion of Fukiba.

Just when I thought I could relax and live a quiet life, my father said something to me.

[The newly settled nobility in the royal capital need to throw a debut party, so make sure you throw one as soon as possible]

Eh? W-What's that?

[Is such a thing necessary...? I think is hard to get highest noble]

[There haven't been many new nobles granted with a rank these days. Although the are those who are given to their heirs. The newly made nobles have a debut party to make themselves know and to greet every noble]

Then he turned to Henry (Butler), the newly arrived butler.

[I'm aware of it, sir. I learned that while I was apprenticing as a butler. I had already scheduled an appointment with my uncle James regarding the list at a later date]

As a butler, he is excellent. He's really helpful.

[That's right, you might want to have James teach you how to prepare yourself]

After saying that, he got into his carriage and left.

Then all the people who work for me, including Henry and Cicily gathered in the lobby.

[Sorry to call you guys when you're working. Let me introduce myself again, I'm 5 years old Baron Fukiba Hanes Shino, Son of Jake Hanes Shino a Margrave. I may be a kid, but I think I can help you all with various things. I'm looking forward to working with you]

Fukiba greets a workers in house.

[Hoho... That kid become a Baron in 5 years old... What a excellent son of Jake.]

The workers in house was shocked after Fukiba introduce himself and become baron.

[[[[[[..Pleased to meet you..]]]]]]

Everyone bows their head and greets me.

[Then, first of all, we should make that list for the debut party you mentioned! After all, I'll need to send the letters to I know.]

With James's the butler help, I made the list and sent out invitations. The debut party is in three months.

The time is due to the fact that it takes up to fifteen days for some nobles to receive the invitation. I've heard that nobles who are not in the royal capital and are governing their lands often send a representative or just send a letter of congratulations.

After all, it would be difficult for them to come to the capital every time someone throws a Deput party.

I also sent a letter to the nobles of the royal capital just in case. I even sent a letter to the Marquis Matthew even though I didn't want to.

And although I sent a letter to Duke Andrew and Prime Minister Serapin, I did not send one to His Majesty Alex.

I've been told by Henry that rarely does anyone send an invitation to the royal family. Even if you send it to them, only dukes and other high-ranking nobles would come.

No one would send an invitation to the royal family for a new Baron.

Fifteen days after I sent out the invitations, I got contacted from the royal castle telling me to come to the court.

This time, I took my own carriage and headed to the royal castle.  I was about to walk to the royal castle until Henry stopped me.

[Please stop doing that. As a nobleman, you have to act like one]

Seeing that he was so desperate to stop me, I had no choice but to get in the carriage and follow his instruction.

As expected to my butler...

I was guided to the usual reception room once I arrived at the royal castle. The tea are delicious here.

After a short time, His Majesty, Duke Andrew, and Prime Minister Serapin entered.

His Majesty seemed to be in a bad mood and desperate. Prime Minister Serapin remained the same, however, Duke Andrew had a smile on his face.

Then His Majesty began to speak.

[Cain. I heard that you're throwing a debut party at your new mansion. Andrew and Serapin have received invitations for you, but I haven't received any. Why is that I have no one invitation?]

He looks at me with his eyes narrowed and serious face.

What?? This is why you're in a bad mood...WhOow... I thought it's my fault?

[I'm the one who conferred your title. Why is it that Valentina's fianceé, in other words, you, has not sent an invitation to his future father-in-law? Even Andrew came to my place to brag about how he was sent a letter of invitation!! and me a king I have no invitation!!]

[It's not good to attack Young master Fukiba, Your Majesty~~. It is impossible for a common nobleman to want to invite His Majesty to a debut party after all]

Duke Andrew follows up.

[That's the point! You are no ordinary nobleman! You're my future son-in-law and in the future you can be a king. So why won't you invite me?]

Henry told me this might happen once I was called to the castle.

Inside my magic item box is an invitation letter.

[Your Majesty, it's not that I didn't want to send you a letter of invitation, it's just that I thought it would be better to give it to you directly, so I was carrying it with me. However, forgive me for not being able to visit you sooner because I was busy to decorations and for Deput Party]

As I was apologizing, I pulled out the invitation letter to give to King Alex.

[Hohohoho! So that's how it was? Hahahaha...andrew, I told you, didn't I? That I was sure there was one for me]

Both Duke Andrew and Prime Minister Serapin laughed bitterly.

[I plan on bringing Valentina with me that day. I'm looking forward to the food and drink in your new mansion Young Fukiba.]

Apparently, he was busy so once he grabbed the invitation letter, he said goodbye and left the room.

[You've got it difficult, too, Young fukiba~~. His Majesty would never go to the appointment of a new Baron and the debut party of some person's mansion. But with the enthusiasm he showed, I'm pretty sure he'll go! Good luck~! also I'm bring my son Hiro]

Andrew also left and I was left alone.

[Haha. It was just like Henry said. I'm glad I brought it and I saved]

All fukiba could do was sigh.

He got into the carriage and returned to his mansion.  Then he told Henry what had happened to meet the majesty.

[His Majesty will also come? In that case, we must make the proper preparations]

[I will consult with my father about drinks and food in that case. I'll arrange for the cook to come as well]

The next day I headed to Jake's place.

[W-What did just say fukiba!!! Even His Majesty and princess will attend!!!]

The first thing he said was that.

[They usually don't come, so I didn't send a letter of invitation because it was rude to do so, but...]

I told my father Jake about how I was called to the castle and my interaction with His Majesty.

Jake sighed and leaned back in his sitting.

[You're not wrong in how you dealt with it. I'm sure I wouldn't have just ended up with His Majesty in a bad mood if you hadn't had the letter of invitation. You'll have the support from the cooks from here too. What else do you need?]

[I was wondering If I could borrow soldiers from your private army since I don't yet have people I can call my own knights. And also food and drinks. I will prepare tableware and the like]

I returned to my mansion after installing what I had promised in my father Jake's mansion.

First, I gathered all the people who worked in my mansion.

[Although it's a debut party, His Majesty and princess will also come. It's gonna be hard, but I want everyone to do their best]

The first sentence made the workers and maids dizzy.

[We need to buy some tableware among other things for the party, what should we do?]

Henry comes to ask me.

[I'll take care of that myself. Including the tumbler]

I'll have to use the World book magic and Creative magic. I have plenty of magic power. Let's make all the tableware and tumbler.

[Henry, ask John of Petra company to arrange for the drinks. You can ask him to help with the details, too]

[Yes, Young master Fukiba, I understand]

Once the arrangements were made, Fukiba left to do something only he could do.

He goes to a table in the hall and increases his magic power.

[The most famous tumbler is the Murano glass. I guess I'll have to look up how to make it in the World Book and make a lot of it]

After researching one thing after another, I started creating them. I made several kinds of glasses and a lot of plates.

I made a pair of Murano glasses as a souvenir and cake.

Then, Cicily came looking for me, and found me in the middle of making them and was fascinated by the beauty of the glass.

I even made forks and knives in one go for meat and from noble attitude. There wasn't much of a problem since it wasn't much different from the others.

Now all that's left is to think about the food.

It's going to be a special party, after all. I want to serve a meal that surprises everyone.

This is the time for me to use the knowledge and recipes from my previous world.

Even if the names of the ingredients are different, I should be able to produce the same taste... I hope they like it...

I researched a lot of recipes and had a meeting with the head chef.

After repeated trial and error, we came up with something that satisfied us and created a delicious food.

And so the day of the debut party arrived and a long night of party.
