"Dear guests of the Republic of Liguria, today is the day of the birth of the First Apostle, and it is also the birthday of my brother, Ladislaus-Doria.

First of all, please allow me to express my warmest welcome and sincerest thanks to you for being able to attend this banquet."

After the emperor finished speaking this opening remark, he raised his glass to signal to everyone.

Although the Republic of Liguria has actually had a high status since three hundred years ago, the emperor is still the highest point of secular authority and has been widely respected.

Therefore, although the emperor only raised his glass and did not even drink a drop, there were several young noble children in the field who were already full of excitement, and immediately the Spanish sailors standing along the side of the boat served another glass of wine.

As Ladislaus walked in the strange corridor, the nobles of Liguria were in chaos for an invitation from the emperor.

These young nobles were unexpectedly invited to attend this unexpected dinner only in the afternoon.

Most of them knew Ladislaus, and those who had less social interactions with Ladislaus, now of course, they also learned about Ladislaus's relationship with the emperor through relevant people.

They cast all kinds of envious and jealous eyes towards Ladislaus, who was standing next to the emperor at this time.

Especially the saying "It's also my brother."

The emperors of the previous generation had many romantic children, and they had many illegitimate children. None of the emperors' illegitimate brothers had ever called the emperor "my brother".

However, the emperor still called "Ladislaus-Doria", which means that the warlock royal family still did not recognize the status of Ladislaus' father.

With a complicated mood, Ladislaus continued to listen to the emperor's toast: "Eighteen years old means adulthood, and it means that a boy will immediately assume the responsibility of manhood, which is a key stage in his life. Here I wish Ladislaus to take a key step in his life and make a new world. Let us drink this cup and wish Ladislaus a bright future together."

The emperor's toast was quite short, but he really drank the glass of wine in his hand, which really gave him enough face. As the emperor showed the bottom of the cup to the audience, Ladislaus found that his reputation value exceeded 100, and it was really a great place to enjoy the cool under the tree.

In addition to providing respect, reputation is also an important evidence for declaring a title. If there is only a distant right of inheritance for a certain title, but if reputation is sufficient, you can declare your power to the world.

Of course, this does not mean that whoever has a high reputation will definitely be able to eat meat into his mouth. The key is force and backstage, but reputation is also a very useful stepping stone.

This is a consuming usage of reputation, and another use of reputation is to activate titles.

Any social status corresponds to a certain reputation to bring out its full value, and activation will not consume reputation.

For example, the title of "MP" that Ladislaus wanted.

Ladislaus also gave a speech and responded, his fear and gratitude towards the emperor.

Then he drank the glass of wine in one go, and many people responded to one glass, including the two glasses of response from the emperor. At this time, the young man who was a little excited in the audience had already drunk three glasses in a row.

The enthusiastic Spanish dance music started to sound at this time, and the Spanish Kingdom Navy band was famous for a long time.

The emperor was not married yet, so the emperor invited Mrs. Doria to dance the first dance.

Because Andre Doria cannot come with her, Mrs. Doria is the only top lady without a male companion, and of course this is also because of Ladislaus.

Mrs. Doria's face was flushed with excitement when the Florentino General informed her of this honor.

Fortunately, Florentino had enough time to inform, and had prepared a quiet room for Miss Harna Doria to help her mother with a thick layer of powder.

Therefore, when Mrs. Doria danced with the emperor in the eyes of the consul and the speaker, she showed quite appropriately.

However, what Miss Harna was doing at this time was not so decent.

She was yelling around a group of men.

"Five hundred talers, five hundred talers, okay, the Beluke family has five hundred talers, has anyone paid six hundred? Has anyone paid six hundred?" Miss Harna, who had just finished makeup for her mother, had her makeup completely ruined by her sweat.

But no one cares at this time, an old gentleman from a secondary family raised his hand and signaled to bid for his daughter.

"Okay, okay, the Corleone family pays 600, has anyone paid 700? Is anyone paid 700? The opportunity is rare, don't save money. Whoever pays more cash transactions? Ladislaus will invite a lady to dance the first dance, has anyone paid 700? Is anyone paid 700?"

The Belluk family gritted their teeth and came to seven hundred, but unfortunately they were just second-rate families after all. In the end, the Speaker's younger brother went to one thousand five hundred tale, and then added Miss Harna's fifty tale commission to get this opportunity for their daughter.

This was also the last effort of the Belluk family to save the engagement. Of course, they would not succeed. Miss Harna did not even convey the news that they were willing to pay the 20,000 tale dowry to Ladislaus, which was meaningless.

"Cousin, the Pregiossi family has paid 1,300 yuan, and I have received the money." Because her father was not on the boat, Miss Harna had to come forward to represent the Doria family, and she did not work hard to seize the opportunity and earned a lot of extra money.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, just give me 1,200 yuan, and you can buy some rouge and water powder yourself, which is my brother's wish.

Ladislaus accepted the task of "Invite Miss Pregiosi to dance" with satisfaction. He lost only 1 point of reputation and had so much money to earn, and there was nothing to hesitate about.

Of course he didn't have to know how well his smart little cousin could do business.

As for Miss Pregiossi's freckles on her face, it was even more worth mentioning in front of Silvertale.

However, before Ladislaus was about to invite the lady, Miss Harna nervously leaned under Ladislaus's ear and said in the lowest voice: "You should be able to speak in front of the emperor now, right? When my mother and the emperor finished dancing this song, someone went to Sanqian Tale to buy the second dance. If you could climb onto the emperor's bed and add Sanqian Tale, you will be nine and I will be one, how about it."

The second task on the interface of Ladislaus has "Suggest a dance partner to the emperor", and the subsequent task of "The Emperor's Mistress" that is still in a bleak state.

Ladislaus eventually rejected this tempting task, not because of moral issues, how many silver tale are a pound of integrity?

The reason why Radislaus gave up Silvertale was that he glanced at the grim look of General Florentino. No matter how close Miss Harna got, she could not hide it from the clever and clear-headed "protection of the country".

Manager Florentino was angry. The auction just now would be fine. This time it would not work. If Ladislaus made such a low-level statement in front of the emperor for money, he would have to make this far-reaching figure ugly once, which was a pity for his humility just now.

Manager Florentino is really loyal, and now Ladislaus is in the limelight.

Fortunately, soon he heard Ladislaus's answer: "Absurd, how could I tell this to the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire? But if you want to dance with the emperor, it's okay. I can say that this is also a good opportunity for you."

This little cousin has a beautiful face and a tall figure. Maybe she will have a different future.

Although Ladislaus couldn't help at the most difficult time and forgot her birthday, she also expressed the meaning of 100 Tale during the election.

If she is interesting, Ladislaus can naturally succeed. If she recommends such a close relationship, the emperor will not be disgusted.

Miss Harna waved her hand without hesitation: "Take it down, I know my status. I am just the daughter of a city noble. Our family is not the first family of the Republic of Liguria. Even if you have something to say about it, even if my dad saves me ten times the dowry, I will never be the queen of the Holy Roman Empire. As a mistress, I have to go to intrigue. I don't have the interest, so I leave first and go back to share the money."

This self-knowledge made General Florentino greatly improve Miss Harna's evaluation, and Ladislaus was also a little more respected.

"Oh, by the way, is Miss Miliel back?" Ladislaus pulled his cousin and asked the last question.

"I'm back, but my dad sent her out again in the afternoon."

As Miss Harna turned and left, the first dance music ended. After this song was exclusively enjoyed by the Emperor and Mrs. Doria, everyone could start sharing the second song.

Ladislaus walked towards the lady who had completely covered the freckles with three kilograms of powder.
