Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 145 The Duke's Mansion
Stannis only had a fancy dress with holes in his armpits as his formal attire, and when he wore it out to experience the dream, he was wrapped in stinky mud, which was completely reimbursed.

Now he can't go to see the Duke in civilian clothes!In this way, the Garcia family, who were already unhappy with him, didn't just find a reason to chop off his head?
Stannis thought for a while, and then turned his attention to Robert. This kid was about the same size as himself, and he was also a famous nobleman. The most important thing was that he also had a set of fancy clothes!
"You, take out the clothes for me to wear!" Stannis ordered forcefully.

"No way, boss, I only have one dress that I can wear and you still want to grab it, how do you want me to pick up girls!"

"If you tell me to hand it over, just hand it over, so much talk!" Stannis ordered forcefully, "The big deal is to add 2 silver coins to your pocket money in the future."

Robert immediately took out his clothes, "Boss, you can take it and wear it, do you want matching underwear?"

An hour later, Stannis in bright clothes and Robert with a disheveled face walked into the upper part of the royal city.

The marble-paved road is clean and flawless, which makes people feel that it is a crime to walk on it. The sycamore trees planted on both sides are lush, like a city located in a garden.

Stannis stood on tiptoe to look around a few times, and couldn't help expressing emotion, "It's a place where rich people live, and I feel ashamed to bring a guy like you who wears such tattered clothes here~~"

Robert glanced at him helplessly. It wasn't because this guy took his clothes away, so he could only come here in his usual casual clothes. If he met a familiar nobleman, he would definitely be laughed to death.

"Boss, how can you laugh at people casually!"

"Stop talking nonsense, business matters." After speaking, Stannis walked towards the palace in the center of the upper city. He had already found out that it was the residence of the Garcia family.

This domed palace is located in the very center of the city, overlooking the entire royal city. There are towering watchtowers at the four corners. Unlike the surrounding black buildings, this huge palace is carved out of white jade.It is as dazzling as pearls in the black mud.

Robert looked at this building with admiration, with elusive emotions in his eyes, "I said that the Garcia family is really rich. Since they ascended the throne of the duke, they have completely demolished the original duke's mansion and rebuilt it. A flamboyant building, really rich!"

However, Stannis knew the mentality of this family. Not only was it announcing the arrival of a new era, but it was also showing off its strength like the previous families. If he became a duke, the palace would be even more exaggerated than this one.

Outside the huge outer wall of the palace, a long banner hangs down every few dozen steps, all of which have the same pattern drawn, that is, a standing golden lion—the Lion of St. Shereba. The Garcia family claims that they are The offspring of the golden lion, but almost no one in the Principality of Tanis believed it. They all knew that this rapidly rising family would find some noble blood for themselves to endorse.

Soon the two stood in front of the palace. There were hundreds of steps leading up under the huge arch. Stannis estimated that he would be exhausted after climbing.

"Boss, look at me dressed like this so I won't be ashamed to go in with you." Robert said as he stepped back, he also knew that seeing His Highness the Duke was not a good thing.

"If you dare to run away, I won't support you..." Before the lord finished speaking, he found that his little brother had already fled away.

Stannis couldn't help cursing, "Damn, why aren't you so active when you are required to work hard!"

Before he finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded from his ear, it was a cold female voice.

"What are you doing here?"

Stannis turned around, and was surprised to see Evelyn appearing behind him, it couldn't be such a coincidence!She only dreamed about it yesterday and she saw it today.

Seeing this beautiful crow, the lord couldn't help calling out her nickname excitedly, "Wow, Yoyo, long time no see!"

But Evelyn frowned. She didn't like being called that, especially him.

Stannis knew he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly changed the subject, "I mean, I'm here to see His Royal Highness, what about you?"

The crow fiddled with his short silver hair, and the Hidden Blade could be seen from the sleeve, which made Stannis afraid to think about it.

"Last month, a famous witch launched an attack on Third Avenue. I was sent by the church to hunt her down. Today is the day to report on time every week."

Stannis remembered this incident. He heard two soldiers in Erathia's barracks mention, "Hunt terrorists, that must be dangerous, how can a girl like you do such a thing."

Evelyn glanced at him, this fake Stannis is really forgetful, "I am a spell hunter, and I am going to be trained to hunt down those mages."

Stannis felt that his concern was a bit superfluous. The fear of being dominated by this woman who killed four black mages in an instant was awakened again last time. He decided not to meddle in other people's business, and just go back after finishing his work obediently.

The two walked up the steps one after the other, maintaining a tacit silence along the way. Finally, when the man was out of breath, the two finally reached the end of the stairs, and after passing through the dome arch, the two People walked into a grand hall with a width of two to three hundred meters.

"Oh, what a grand!" Stannis couldn't help clicking his tongue. He estimated that this hall alone could hold his castle.

At this time, a beautiful maid stepped forward and asked like a guide: "Excuse me, what are you two doing here?"

Evelyn still looked proud, she just moved her lips, "I'm Evelyn Worf, Your Highness the Duke knows I'm coming."

The maid nodded, then turned to Stannis, "And you, my lord?"

Stannis touched his head shyly, "I'm Stannis Justin, and I'm also here to meet His Royal Highness the Duke."

"So do you have an appointment?"

Stannis didn't expect to queue up to get a number in this world, so he continued awkwardly, "No...no..."

The maid nodded, she knew how to deal with this situation, took Stannis to a bearskin sofa, and made a gesture of invitation with her hands, "Then please sit down and rest for a while, I will inform His Royal Highness the Duke Come and see if he takes time to meet you, okay?"

She was so professional and enthusiastic that Stannis was embarrassed, "Okay, no problem, you go first."

The maid gave him a salute with a smile, and then took Evelyn away.

Afterwards, Stannis sat on the sofa for two full hours as if forgotten...
