[ Nobles who attended the party had experience with Roman before.
At one time, Roman often appeared at parties while hanging out with Barco, and they always thought it was pathetic to see him.
Therefore, the nobles naturally knew how Roman was.
They don't know for what reason they broke the marriage unless there are external parties involved, but they couldn't see Roman in a good way when they looked how Roaman behave.
By the way.
Everyone held their breath when Roman appeared.
Dmitry did not shrink in the background, but when Roman entered the party hall, all of the nobility saw a person different from the Roman they knew.] (Translater note from know on I will show narrator word in big bracket ___ha more work"__")
'Is that him, Roman Dmitry?'
'He so different from before?'
[In their memories, Roman was a man with no good looks, his not-so-tall stature made him look smaller due to his small physique, and his dirty skin, this made all of them think Roman as not a good looking man.
Moreover, even his gait was frivolous.
Knowing that Dmitry's second son was different from Roman, rumors circulated that Roman was of low origin and could not hide his vulgarity.
And now.
It was completely different from back then.
Roman's gait was calm, and his wide shoulders and muscles that could not be hidden even with clothes were visible.
Especially the skin was really clean.
Finally.
Gorgeous clothes made with the mark of the dragon.
The clothes with gold thread on a black background emphasized Roman's charisma to the fullest.]
murmur murmur.
"Did Roman originally look like this?"
" absolutely not befoy he was shorter than me, but now, even at first glance, I can see difference is in height."
[The nobility murmured.
In the past, Roman tried hard to decorate himself and win people's favor, but he couldn't create the atmosphere he has now.
It's not just a difference in appearance. It was the difference in the atmosphere that people have accumulated over the course of their lives, and the frivolity of the life of Roman.
Roman and Baek Joong-hyuk.
The two lived different lives.
Baek Joong-hyeok, who stood on the apex and looked down on others, had the power to catch the eye at once, leaving his appearance in there mind.
It was an important factor.
At first, everyone was going to stay away from Roman, but the change made them want to talk to him at least once.
Some nobles approached Roman first.
The first nobleman to approach was a woman.
Having asked other nobles about Roman, she couldn't contain her curiosity at the different appearance from his reputation.]
"It is an honor to meet you. My name is Sophia of the Grisel family."
Roman stopped walking, and turn his cam subdued eyes to Sophia, Sophia spoke with a slightly embarrassed face.
"You are probably not familiar with the Grisel family name. My father, Baron Grisel, has dedicated himself to the Kingdom of Cairo from generation to generation. But it's not a great family."
Sophia was the daughter of a lower-class aristocrat.
They settled in a small land on the outskirts, and there position in the kingdom was very low, many people did not know that the family named Grisel had inherited the baron from generation to generation.
Still, the reason she was able to attend the Barco family's party was because Sophia's appearance was beautiful.
Beautiful appearance and the conditions of being a noblewoman met as a reason for receiving the invitation of Barco's eldest son.
Sophia explained about her family.
The fact that she had came from a lower aristocracy lowered her self-esteem, and she had to explain herself to anyone she met.
On the contrary.
Barco and Dmitry are different.
No need to explain.
That was then.
"The Grisel family I knows it well. As a nobleman in Cairo, there is no way that I do not know the name of a family with a history of more than 100 years."
" Do you really know the Grisel family?"
At Roman's words.
Sophia's eyes widened.
She was just thinking of having a conversation with Roman, but she did not know that Roman knew the Grisel family.
'Are you just pretending to know?'
doubts arose in her mind.
Occasionally there are people who will not recognizing a noble family so not present themselves rude toward them, so they pretend to know even if they don't know.
She thought Roman was the same.
Otherwise, how would he know the Grisel family, who had never made a name for themselves on the outskirts?
By the way.
"I once heard my father explain about the Grisel family. Your family had established their home in the northeast area for many years, and the wood they produce is famous for its excellent quality in the Kingdom of Cairo. I heard that your brother recently succeeded in mana sensitivity, and I sincerely congratulate him on his achievement."
' Ah!'
After a moment.
Sophia's doubts were shattered.
Now she could be sure.
That Roman truly knows about the Grisel family, and that he doesn't have to explain to her.
The mere fact that Roman recognized the Grisel family.
Sophia thought, 'Maybe Roman Dmitry is a different man from the rumors.'
First conversation at a social party.
It was a moment that changed the eyes of the people watching the scene.
* * *
[2 weeks ago from now.
Announcing his intention to attend the social party, Roman asked Hans a favor he had never done before.]
"Hans. From now on, bring all the information about the families located in the northeast area. All about what kind of family there are in the northeastern part of the Kingdom of Cairo, what the pattern of that family is, and what has happened recently. To attend a social party, I want to know the background of the people I will meet."
It was an unexpected request.
However, Hans did not ask questions as usual, and commanded all information from the surrounding area as Roman wanted.
And.
Roman read the information whenever he had free time.
It was really annoying.
To learn the patterns of a family who he didn't know, and to read information about people he never met.
Still, Roman knew that this was necessary.
'I am not a common man. As the eldest son of the Dmitry family, he attends Barco's social party on behalf of the family. So I need to have the minimum courtesy. What kind of family the people I will meet belong to, and how has that family been passed on? As I am regarded as Dmitry's jerk, it will takes a lot of effort to win the favor of others.'
When je reach the pinnacle of Murim.
Baek Jung-hyeok studied the role of a ruler.
Hundreds of thousands of servants.
They gave their lives to Baek Joong-hyuk when he called out their names, whom he had never talked to before.
That's funny.
Just remembering the name.
People shouted Baek Jung-hyeok's name and said that it was worth giving there life for Roman.
'Relationships between people start with the smallest things. People who know me as Dmitry's nerd will be prejudiced from the start, but if I remember and recognize their names, their attitudes will change. In order to get people's attention, it is the right way to give them attention first, and I need to put in a lot of effort because I had decided to live as Roman Dmitry.'
Sophia Grissel.
Roman do not know her.
But when she spoke to her and identified herself as Grisel, Roman remembered everything.
'The Grisel family .'
their phrasing.
their history.
And, up to the big things that happened to them recently.
In the friendly atmosphere between Roman and Sofia, nobles who had hesitated to talk to him, from then on began to flock to Roman.
The party got noisy.
At the center of it all was Roman.
"This is how you see the eldest son of the Bolt family. Of course, you know the Bolt family well. Didn't Viscount Bolt go to the battlefield and make great achievements in the past? As I read the events of that time from the book, I thought that I would have to show myself not ashamed from the battlefield like Viscount Bolt in the future."
"Is your mother doing well? I recently heard that she had a chronic disease, and the colder the weather, the better you need to take care of her health."
"Is that 10 years ago? The deal with the House of Heroes made great gains for Dmitry. My father always told me how caring the Heroes family are, so I am also very grateful to the Heros family."
Roman.
[He was the pinnacle of Murim, and at one time he established undisputed power.
People have said that it is thanks to the powerful force, but simply by itself it cannot be completely ruled.
virtues of those in power.
Roman knew the importance of socializing.
Simply remembering the other person and creating an environment in which the other person can speak to him.
Barco's party.
It was a different trend than expected.
At first, they thought that the bat-like idiot of Dmitry would be bullied, but the nobles flocked to him for his changed appearance and the way he remembered his opponent's name and gave praise.
Those who did not know Roman, had a crush on Roman, and those who knew Roman saw the fact that Roman had changed very much.
Roman's reputation piled up one after another.
Even after being notified of the breakup, he was treated as the cause of the problem, but know he melted the atmosphere with a few words.]
A noble man said "It seems that I misjudged Roman-sama all this time. You're always drunk, so I thought it would be hard to have a conversation without alcohol, but I didn't expect it to be so much fun and hilarious! I hope that the Bolt family and Dmitry will continue to maintain a good relationship."
bolt crest.
[For one reason he praised his father, he was in a good mood, and he smiled briskly with a blushing face.
The atmosphere was reversed.
Now, no one hated Roman.
Apparently, the people who had just said that Roman was the problem, were also sneaking up to him and where laughing and chatting with me.
Dmitry.
The real power in the northeast area.
Roman has not been treated well by the people even with Dmitry on his back.
The reason is that even though he is the eldest son, the chances of inheriting the family are slim, and the person himself is light and frivolous, so people tried to avoid him.
But now it was different.
Roman, who had changed in appearance, knew how to deal with people, and in a friendly atmosphere, people realized Roman's position late.
Roman is Dmitry's eldest son.
If he's actually a good person, of course there's nothing wrong with being friendly.
That was then.
Through the crowd, Barco's servant approached and said]
"Roman. Our master invited you to the secret room."
Anthony Barco.
The meeting which he was been waiting for has finally came, Roman asked the aristocrats around him for forgiveness and said to the servant.
"Guide me to the secret room."
from now on.
It was his turn to find out the truth about Roman.
