As for Count Hades, he became insanely angry and lost his calm for the first time in a long time...
"Damn these damned chicks. What do they mean by doing this? Do they want to insult me or what???"
In the Count's office, the butler and the knight Carlos were standing silently to the side.
Looking at the angry Count in front of them, they did not dare to say anything... However, their condition was no better than the Count's, as their features showed anger and disgust at the news...
After a minute of anger and cursing, the Count finally calmed down.
Then he looked at the knight Carlos and asked him
"What is Young Qing doing now, and did you inform him of the news!?"
Upon seeing the Count finally calm down and talking to him, the knight's normal features returned again and he answered
"He is still training in the arena...and yes I already told him."
..
"And what was his answer?"
Answering the Count's question with a strange expression, the knight Carlos replied
"Well... when I told him... his first reaction was a cold, sly smile, then he answered me in an enthusiastic tone, saying: This will relieve me from thinking about how to provoke him... let him come... I will play with him a little, hehehehe...."
Hearing the knight's answer, the count was a little happy and spoke...
"Okay... I like his boldness... let him do whatever he wants."
Then he looked at the butler and asked
"Are the preparations finished?"
The butler answered quickly
"Yes, Your Honor, everything is ready."
"Okay, you can leave."
After the butler left, the count looked at the knight and spoke in a calm and cold tone
"You must also prepare. The external sect elder will most likely be present, and if King defeats the prince, he will certainly try to kill him. Of course, the sect elder will intervene. In any case of danger to the young King, we will protect him.."
After a short silence, a miserable and dark aura began to emanate from the Count, and his features transformed to resemble those of a wild beast, and he continued speaking in a deadly and extremely cold tone.
"I'll be happy to make them remember what it means to risk provoking me."
For the knight, upon seeing the Count's transformation, an excited and malicious look came to his face...
…
In the soldiers' training ground... a day had already passed since Young Qing began training to raise his techniques...
On the other side of the square, the young man was sitting cross-legged on the ground in a state of contemplation... After a few moments, the young man opened his eyes, stood up, and stretched out.
"Haaaaaa… No matter how long I sit and meditate, I can never get used to it… If it weren't for my need to raise my cultivation, I would never sit like this…"
After looking around, the young man looked at the palace and headed towards it...
"Let's see how the preparations are going..."
The young man went to the Count's office, but he did not find him there, but he met the butler and after greeting him, he asked him where the Count was...
"Young Master. The Count has left and gone down to the city to do some business..."
Upon hearing the butler's words, the young man asked once after a short silence...
"How long until the ceremony begins and the prince's convoy arrives!!"
Upon hearing this, the butler replied
"The party will start in the evening, and the prince's procession will arrive around mid-evening..."
The young man nodded and then suddenly spoke
"Okay.. I will go take a shower and sleep now.. Let me know when the evening arrives."
Hearing the young man's words, the butler instinctively nodded but opened his eyes in surprise and was shocked to realize the words he only heard when the young man left.
'Is it even time for bed!? '
…
In the evening, the Count had already returned from the city some time ago, and at this moment he was receiving the nobles who had come for the engagement party.
Group after group came the nobles in their luxurious carriages...
There are those who came bearing gifts, full of energy and smiling friendly...
There are those who came enthusiastically, filling the air with words and laughter of ridicule and mockery...
There are those who enter only with serious and cold faces without even saying hello...
..
Naturally, the Count received the person who came with friendly reactions, and whoever came sarcastically responded to him calmly and with a cold smile, which made them remain silent for a few moments at that time.
Naturally, he did not even look at those who entered without saying hello.
…
In the end, the Count was clear about his relationship with the nobles of the kingdom and was not bothered by their actions at all...
Although there were even nobles with the rank of Marquis who attended, he still treated everyone as they treated him, not caring about their ranks higher than him...
Naturally, none of these nobles said anything about his actions...
