Harvest Festival (2)

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
