After meeting the king, it was customary to hold a grand banquet, inviting nobles of the corresponding rank to attend to announce that Christine, the newly promoted Baron Stewart, had officially entered the aristocratic circle.

Although the on-the-ground nobles stay in their own territories unless they go to the royal capital for business, the number of hereditary honorary nobles and non-hereditary honorary nobles in Frank City is still very large. Christine is in the manor in the royal capital. The hall cannot hold so many nobles.

In fact, she doesn't need to worry about this matter. How come she still has a manor in Fran City? Don't other nobles who only have villas or even real estate hold banquets? Therefore, as long as the money is paid, the Noble Council of the Kingdom of France will do all the work for you.

After all, the entire process has strict etiquette requirements starting from the formulation of invitations and delivery of invitations. Most of the etiquette officers in the noble families on the ground are not involved in such a complicated process, let alone those new nobles who don't know anything.

The cost of two thousand gold coins not only shows the wealth of Baron Stewart but is not too excessive. After all, this kind of banquet has relatively rigid rules. There are rules for banquets held by nobles of any level and the specifications.

Otherwise, a newly promoted field baron can grit his teeth and take out five thousand gold coins to hold a banquet. What will a newly promoted hereditary honorary earl do?

The invitations to the banquet were sent out three days in advance. In fact, the aristocratic circle was very well-informed. After learning the time when the king summoned Baron Stewart, they calculated the time of the banquet, so all qualified nobles were free to attend on that day.

During these three days of free time, Christine went to the Grand Temple of Dragon God Church in Frank City to pray and make donations.

As the largest city in the mainland, the Church of the Gods has built a large temple here that can demonstrate the majesty of the true God. Its scale is second only to the church headquarters.

The headquarters of the Dragon God Church is on an island. This is to facilitate communication with Dragon Island. In fact, dragons always live in the church. But in comparison, it is not particularly convenient for human priests to come and go, so the Great Temple of the Kingdom of France assumes part of the headquarters function, with three cardinals of fifteenth level or above resident there.

The Church of Dragon God gave Christine a grand reception. After all, she had doubled the territory after she took over the family affairs. Even if the people in the new territory now believe in other true gods, they can convert their descendants in time. It's not impossible for the Dragon God to do it. What's more, a new temple was built in Dominaria Port for the great Dragon God, which showed the god's honor.

These are all real achievements for the church, so the attitude towards Christine who brought these achievements was extremely enthusiastic. The cardinal personally presided over the prayer ceremony for her.

.

The Parliament of the Nobles of the Kingdom of France has a special place for holding banquets, and the nobles of the royal capital are already familiar with it.

Christine, wearing a ceremonial robe, stood on the steps outside the hall to greet the guests. The place to greet the guests was different according to their title. If they were viscounts, they would be greeted at the foyer inside the hall, and for earls, they would be greeted at the door of the main hall. For marquis, besides There is no need to greet anyone except a few dukes and nobles with equivalent titles.

Next to Christine was a protocol officer who was responsible for introducing the guests and instructing her on how to speak. As long as she followed the instructions, there would be no rude behavior. The main thing is to have attentive service.

Several princes and princesses of His Majesty the King are also here. After all, Christine is known as the most beautiful woman in Brittany County, but after this banquet, she may also be ranked in the Kingdom of France.

It can be said that all the aristocratic young people of the right age who attended the banquet hope to marry Christine, not only because of her beauty but also her attractive and unique temperament, but unfortunately they cannot do so because of one or other reasons.

First of all, she is a real baron whose territory is equivalent to two baronies, forget about the honorary nobles present. On the contrary, several heirs of local nobles were invited to attend the banquet because they happened to be in the royal capital, but they were all timid and lacked the courage.

After two local nobles get married, the territories will be merged into one when passed to the heir, and the heir will inherit both parties' surnames at the same time. But the problem is that Christine is a descendant of dragon blood and has a lifespan of nearly 500 years. She has controlled the power of the family for hundreds of years. As a result, everyone only knows the surname Stewart. Any family that marries her will eventually give her the entire family property. .

Even a few princes only dared to come and see the beauties. Princes without inheritance rights could only get respect from the baron.

There is nothing to say about the specific process of the banquet. They all have fixed dishes and fixed procedures. After all, the banquet is held just to let Christine and the nobles of the royal capital get to know each other. No one really comes here to eat. As Christine, who has made elegance a habit since she was a child, her performance throughout the whole process was perfect and left a deep impression on the guests.

It can be said that the banquet for Christine to join the aristocratic circle was held very successfully. At least for the next week, she will be the main content of chats at various aristocratic ladies' banquets and salons.

Of course, this is not the end, there are still several banquets to be held next.

Although the kingdom's nobles are a whole, they still have their own small circles below them. The Stewart family is a real noble and naturally belongs to this small circle. They want to entertain the heirs or other children of the real nobles in the royal capital.

This needs to be in your own manor, and the banquet standard must be high. Fortunately, there were only ten people in total, plus she had a chef and a maid with her. As the royal capital, Frank City also had no shortage of precious ingredients, so this was not a big problem.

In fact, by the end of the banquet, these guests were already impressed by Christine's knowledge, but if you think about it carefully, it is normal that she is a third-level mage and has such a wealth of knowledge.

The next banquet was for several honorary nobles who were friends with the Stewart family.

The nobles in the field rely on them if they want to know the big and small things happening in the city of France in their own territories. Although these honorary nobles do not have high titles, they are well-informed and will regularly send news from the royal capital through caravans. The nobles will provide them with some practical benefits, such as agency rights for territorial specialties, regular gifts in kind, etc., so everyone gets what they get.

Every field noble has an honorary noble who provides him with information. Some well-informed people even serve multiple companies and earn a lot of money throughout the year. As nobles, there is always a way to make money.
