Chapter 32 - 30 Transforming into Elegance, Fame, and a Fashion Pioneer



"What’s this?" She glanced at the item in her hand, an attire more suited for traveling than the dress she wore, and paused.

If one must say, it looked more like a customized set of Knight Clothes.

In the Bell Federation, being a Knight wasn’t a Transcendent profession but a symbol of social class.

To encourage more civilian professionals to join the expansive army of knights, the Bell Federation had a fairly complete set of requirements for knight advancement.

Consequently, to make the knights more attractive externally, a supplementary knight service industry had emerged.

The most recognized by civilians and future players was the series of aesthetically pleasing Knight Clothes.

In the years when the Bell Federation emerged from neighboring countries, Lion Heart, who advocated establishing a Knight Class, had once said,

"Only by becoming beautiful will one be happy. To become beautiful, I must transplant that filthy Alien blood. Thus, a Knight chooses to become glorious, famous, and a fashion pioneer."

Guided by this statement, the knights somewhat became even more appearance-obsessed than the Nobles, raising the enthusiasm for knights to a new height within the Duchy of Lancaster.

Clearly, Elanna was deeply influenced and loved the specially customized female Knight Clothes.

"Is this for me?" Joy appeared on her face. Though she already knew the answer in her heart, she still wanted to hear his response.

Kael chuckled lightly, "I see Uncle Newman tends to be quite strict with household rules. I believe during this visit, Uncle Newman probably emphasized following the noble etiquettes quite a bit.

But after thinking about it, my family doesn’t have so many demands, and Lancaster Territory should also follow an inclusive path in the future.

Since the tone has been set, why not start with the Lord and his fiancée … right?"

He playfully winked at Elanna.

Elsewhere, oblivious to external matters, Old White suddenly spoke up, "Recently, the wolf plague in the Twisted Jungle has been severe, and the young master organized a campaign against the Shadow Wolf pack.

Shadow Wolves are relatively threatening among level 2 Monsters; they have a patch the size of a palm on their chests, with white wolf fur that has excellent magical conductivity.

Usually, the fur from dozens of Shadow Wolves is needed to make one set of Knight Clothes. After the most professional tailor in the territory worked overnight, there came such a set of Knight Clothes that only Lancaster could produce."

Kael looked at Old White, feeling more appreciative of Old White’s intelligence.

Many times, it’s not what you do that matters, but making sure others see what you’ve done—that’s most crucial.

Even if Old White hadn’t mentioned it, Kael would have found an opportunity to ’casually’ reveal the origin of the specially customized Knight Clothes for the girl.

This probably counts as a simple trick in external interpersonal interaction, one that could bridge relationships with others more easily.

But if not applied properly, it can often come across as too deliberate.

Even if done well, it’s nowhere near as seamless as learning about it through someone else’s words.

Grandpa White, you really are too clever.

Where on earth did you learn these skills? A mere housekeeper shouldn’t be able to explain this.

Because these skills are used not only for normal social interactions but also on certain occasions with specific people of the opposite sex.

Just thinking about the timing of Grandpa White’s recent intervention... it’s too daunting to think about in detail.

He spoke with a smile, "I shouldn’t say much about how Uncle Newman asked you to come, but if you are worried about him making too much fuss, you could just follow his instructions to dress up elaborately.

But once you arrive in Lancaster, if you don’t like the dresses of the noble ladies here, come and change into this gown at my place."

"Sure!" Elanna nodded happily.

She was really fed up with the restrictive dress and followed the maid from the Kael household to the guest room to change out of her gown.

When she reappeared, Kael was impressed.

Elanna was dressed in a dark red coat with a pure white lining that accentuated her beautiful figure; a longsword with a scabbard hung from her slender waist, giving her an impressive and energetic appearance.

Kael quite liked her in this attire.

After calling her over to sit down, he pushed a letter that Old White had given him during her change in front of her, saying,

"Elanna, you might want to take a look at this too since it also involves Newman Domain. I think it’s necessary for you and Uncle Newman to be informed about the situation."

Elanna was momentarily stunned, then quickly responded, "Did Count Rezhe make a move?"

"It’s more troublesome than I expected," Kael pointed at the letter and said, "Take a look first, this is from Lord Fox of the Bronze Cross."

"Alright, give me a few minutes."

A few minutes later, anger was evident on Elanna’s face as she slammed the table and exclaimed, "How can there be such shameless people in this world!"

The letter was about a recent council meeting of the nobles suggested by Fox.

At the council, a well-known young prodigy of the Charles family from the Royal Capital, Harry.D.Charles— the eldest son of Earl Rezhe and a senior mage with teaching credentials from the Mage Academy— proposed an initiative.

Basically, it stated that, following Harry’s research at the academy, since the path to nobility was opened to exceptional talents among common professional workers ten years ago, a considerable number of new nobles had gone to the frontiers to guard the dungeons and protect the federation’s peace.

It seemed to provide a route for common professionals to ascend, but most of these professionals were not combat-oriented. During their time guarding the dungeons, many promising new forces died young on the frontier.

Harry mentioned that a significant portion of the new nobility, such as navigators, cultural relics protectionists, and magical plant cultivators, who tended to work behind the scenes, were not really suited to defending the dungeons.

Compared to the wealthy new nobles who could afford to hire strong professionals to protect their domains, those who couldn’t were struggling to handle the burden. Instead of letting this segment of the duchy’s talent perish on the frontier, it might be better to reconsider the reasonable allocation of domains.

At the end of the meeting, Harry.D.Charles also stressed that if the Noble Council approved the preliminary review, the Charles family would willingly participate and cooperate actively.

For instance... bringing back some family members of the Charles family who couldn’t protect their own domains to the Royal Capital and leaving the domains to those who could truly add value to them.
