"Are you feeling better, Mr. Roan?" Leia patted Roan's back gently.

She didn't exert any force; her slender hand, through the armor, couldn't transmit any power to Luo An's back.

But it does show that the two are very close, even excessively so.

Luo An took a step back.

He was a little drunk, but not stupid.

Although he didn't understand Leia's meaning, Luo An didn't think that just wearing a suit of armor would win the favor of a noble lady.

Luo An didn't care what Leia thought of him.

As long as the money is right, everything is negotiable.

"Much better," Luo An said politely, keeping his distance.

"Heh. It's good that Mr. Luo An is alright." Leia's hand was still in mid-air, so she withdrew it.

"I'm sorry to have neglected Mr. Roan. Today's guests are all very important. And as you know, we can't tell anyone about the magical beasts yet." Leia casually tossed a silver coin to him.

Luo An quickly took it, "It's alright, Miss Leia." Rather, Luo An preferred to take the money and not do the work, just dawdling around.

L'Oréal felt a little disappointed.

"I would also like to announce Mr. Luo An's great achievements at the banquet."

I really want to see the surprised expressions on the nobles' faces.

Luo An knew that someone else would also face monsters, but that they would definitely not do any worse than him.

Luo An only gained fame for being the first to slay a magical beast.

They would never believe that only they could do it.

As they spoke, the two walked into the banquet hall side by side, and all eyes fell on Lorton's aloof beauty, Leia.

She wore a magnificent emerald green dress with gold trim, and a gentle yet slightly arrogant smile always graced her lips as she looked down upon her subjects like a lion.

Both the man and the woman were breathing rapidly.

Everyone knows that Léa is a proud woman.

That's why conquering such a woman is even more pleasurable.

In contrast, Luo An, standing to the side, appeared rather ordinary.

Especially that ominous black hair, a force completely opposite to the golden miracle, a mark of sin branded by the gods.

Even the most cultured nobles were whispering amongst themselves, marveling at how such a fellow had become a knight.

A golden light flashed before Luo An's eyes.

The Monkey Typewriter is constantly collecting knowledge about "discrimination".

Even without the "monkey typewriter," Roan could notice the apprehension in the nobles' eyes.

They were no different from the other slaves in the stable.

This is still in the Aisen Territory, where people worship the "Great Mother" Tsering and the "Sun King" Kangor, two gods of love and war. The people here don't care much about discrimination.

It is said that discrimination against people with black hair is even more severe in other parts of the kingdom.

"I'm sorry," Leia said softly. "Don't worry about what they think." She slipped a silver coin to Roan.

Good heavens, let alone not caring, Luo An would much rather the nobles abandon their manners and point at him and curse him to his face.

A servant respectfully presented a wine glass, which Leia accepted. Everyone gathered around Leia and moved to the center of the banquet hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Leia raised her glass slightly, "let me formally introduce myself."

Roan Yunina, Apprentice Knight. A knight of noble reputation, a squire of Lord Levi on the walls of Lorton.

Upon hearing the name Levi's, the nobles gasped in surprise, covering their mouths and looking at Roan with awe.

"No wonder, that explains why it sounded so familiar."

"Excuse me, so you are Lord Levi's entourage." The noble knights raised their glasses one after another. The wariness in their eyes vanished, and they unconsciously moved closer to Roan, and unconsciously lowered their posture.

Unlike these minor nobles, Levi was a knight who truly wielded real power and possessed equally formidable martial prowess.

If it weren't for their noble character, their rudeness towards Luo An today would have been enough to give the families behind these minor nobles a hard time.

Although I know Levi's wouldn't fuss over such a small thing.

If Roan were to mention it to Levi, it would be enough to cause them trouble.

Especially the knights who had joined Odo Firesword in the commotion. They were terrified.

Where did Odo Firesword go? Was he killed by Roan?

That shouldn't be possible, right?

Thinking of this, the knights became even more attentive to Roan, bowing to him in unison.

"Hello... Lord Roan, my name is..."

"My family manages the shops on Market Street, Your Excellency Luo An. You are welcome to visit us anytime."

Luo An's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to ask if there was a discount for selling herbs, the nobleman was pushed aside.

There were seven or eight pairs of eager eyes in front of him, pushing and shoving, trying to establish a relationship with Luo An.

Luo An naturally wouldn't refuse. As the saying goes, having more friends means having more options, and Levi's wasn't asking Luo An to come here and beat people up.

Of course, Luo An wouldn't overstep his bounds. While making money was important, Luo An hadn't forgotten Yunina's wish.

Just as lively as Luo'an was, Leia's place was equally bustling.

Several nobles surrounded Leia, who occasionally lowered her head to drink, elegantly dealing with her "friends".

Occasionally, her gaze would glance at Luo An, and a faint smile would appear on her face.

Luo An, Luo An.

It always catches her eye.

She only needed Luo An's reputation; before that, she needed to observe what kind of person Luo An was so she could better control him.

He likes women, so he gives them beautiful women; he likes money, so he gives it to him.

People who enjoy flattery are the easiest to deal with; you don't even need to put in any effort. Leia's red lips twitched slightly, enough to control Luo An.

After observing for a while, even Leia became a little puzzled.

How come Luo An is both fond of flattery and greedy for money, and also doesn't refuse beautiful women?

She had seen greedy people, lustful people, and vain people, but Luo An wore all of these on his face, yet he remained unfathomable.

That guy, who was actually Levi's squire, had none of the dignity of a knight.

Did Levi's make a mistake?

Léa didn't care.

"Sister." Ryan came to Leia's side, watching Roan's direction.

"Why is Lord Luo An surrounded by so many bastards? I'll go help him."

Ryan, that idiot, never understood her deeper meaning; he's still so clueless.

"Wait. Don't go over there."

"Why?" Ryan scratched his head.

Leia frowned slightly. "You're not even listening to your sister anymore."

Ryan shrank back in fright.

In the past, Ryan would have definitely left in silence.

But Luo An is different.

"Lord Roan is someone watched by Lord Kango, the Sun King. As a knight of the Sun King, it is my duty to help Lord Roan."

After he finished speaking, Ryan stepped forward, and the nobles immediately made way for him.

No matter how much Luo An called, he couldn't keep him there.

Roan looked regretful as he was introducing the nobles to buying trash from Toneri's camp to get some kickbacks.

It seems I'll have to wait until next time.

At this moment, Leia also came to Luo An's side and handed him a silver coin.

"It's troublesome, isn't it? Aristocratic life is always so troublesome. Mr. Roan will need some time to adjust."

"It's alright. It's just that I wasn't able to help Miss Leia."

Luo An still hasn't found a way to increase his own value so that Miss Leia will pay more attention to him and give him more silver coins.

There's no way around it; the moral standards of the world's nobility are rather high.

The expected scenario did not occur....
