Chapter 311: Gift

"Your Majesty, you are truly generous!"

Watching Luoning walk out of the great hall, Buluoer still couldn't help but voice his envy.

Bruno put away the letter and stood up from the throne, his eyes still flickering with a look of satisfaction toward Luoning.

"You should know what an eighteen-year-old Silver Knight signifies."

Buluoer put away his look of envy and nodded slowly, "With such talent, only the Crown Prince can compare to him. I fear the future Wushan Territory will produce a Meteor Knight under the age of thirty!"

Bruno agreed with this statement very much.

"After a Professional Knight reaches the Meteor level, their strength increases significantly. A powerful Meteor Knight can completely turn the tide of a war, not to mention that after Meteor, there are Silver Moon and Sun-level!"

Although these two types of figures are rare, they can completely break the social classes formed by the nobility by relying on their own strength.

It can be said that a Sun-level Knight is a noble in their own right, without needing anyone to confer a title.

"Jialete has a great chance of stepping into the Sun-level, but one Sun-level is not enough. If we want to annex the Telixiya Kingdom, we need more high-end combat power!"

Although Bruno's talent for cultivation is average, his ambition is not small.

Although Auduin and Telixiya are in a ceasefire, the desire to annex each other has not died, and it is gradually growing stronger in the calm; there will surely be a battle in the future.

Bruno hopes that in that battle, Auduin can crush the opponent and re-establish a new empire on this continent.

The Auduin Empire!

For this reason, he pins his hopes on his son, Jialete.

But relying on Jialete alone is not enough; Bruno needs to recruit more helpers for him.

Luoning's performance today made his eyes light up; the other's talent was actually no lower than Jialete's, and he knew how to conduct himself with propriety, plus he would soon be his son-in-law.

Once he grows up, he will surely become a powerful aid to Jialete.

"Father was still short-sighted," Bruno couldn't help but think in his heart.

If he had come forward to stop the underhanded moves against the Wushan Family back then, the Wushan Family's contribution to Auduin would be even greater now.

However, this cannot be blamed on Kelinsiman either.

At that time, the continent was in an era of chaos and turmoil, and the Auduin Royal Family did not have any exceptionally talented individuals.

Lulansi, who was already a genius, had an even more talented son; who wouldn't be on guard?

"I heard news from Yiben that many young geniuses have emerged in the Telixiya Kingdom recently, and our old rivals are also silently accumulating strength!"

Yiben, the Regiment Commander of the Royal Griffin Knights, a Border Count of the Kingdom, a Silver Moon Knight, and also Bruno's son-in-law.

Buluoer said: "Your Majesty need not worry. The Telixiya Kingdom has had more turmoil in the last two years; by comparison, although we have had struggles here, it is relatively peaceful. As long as we maintain this status quo, when we start a war again in the future, we will have a certain advantage."

Bruno nodded. He actually hoped that the opponent's turmoil would come more and more fiercely, but it was a pity that according to the latest news, the turmoil there had basically been suppressed.

"Go write a letter to Yiben, tell him to learn more about the situation of the turmoil in Telixiya, and see if we can fund those who started the turmoil."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Luoning left the palace, he was led by a receptionist to his own courtyard.

It is said that many nobles are settled here, all having come to attend the birthday banquet a few days later.

Among these nobles, Luoning probably only knows Hesusu. But given the relationship between the two, there is no need to pay a visit.

By comparison, what he wanted to do more was to find Blanche and have her take him to the library.

It was just that Bruno had said it would be tomorrow, so he felt embarrassed to go early.

Early the next morning, while Luoning was still enjoying breakfast, a maid brought an order from Blanche, asking him to go to the Princess's manor, Moon Shadow Palace, first.

Luoning quickly finished his food, instructed Tangmu and Dawei to pay attention to etiquette and rules while they were free to move about, and then followed the maid toward Moon Shadow Palace.

Before long, he appeared outside the palace, waiting for his arrival to be announced according to the procedure.

Compared to the King's magnificent palace, the Princess's residence was more elegant.

However, judging its scale from the outside, it was probably not something an ordinary noble could build.

Before long, a burst of light footsteps came.

"Luoning, you're finally here!" A melodious voice came.

After seeing the person, Luoning's eyes couldn't help but light up, and his desire for Battle Techniques and Magic faded quite a bit for the moment.

Today, Blanche was wearing Along dress with a purple base, embroidered with fine gold thread patterns that looked like stars in the night sky.

Her golden-brown hair was cleverly woven into an elegant bun, adorned with sparkling gems that looked like stars falling to the human world.

What caught Luoning's attention most was the exquisite ribbon waistband.

It not only made Blanche's waist curve exceptionally slender, graceful like a willow, but also gave her upper body an elegant S-shaped curve, displaying unparalleled charm.

"Long time no see, Blanche!"

Luoning stepped forward, and the two exchanged a polite hug. He complimented, "Compared to last time, you seem even more beautiful."

Girls change with every year; the nineteen-year-old Blanche had fully blossomed.

"Your compliment is the happiest thing I've heard today."

Blanche's cheeks couldn't help but flush. She looked at Luoning and also complimented, "You are also stronger and more handsome than last time."

The two exchanged a few greetings at the door, and then Blanche took Luoning's arm and entered Moon Shadow Palace.

After touring inside for a while, Luoning fully understood the vastness and luxury of this palace.

He couldn't help but say: "Your palace is much more luxurious than my castle. If you marry me in the future, I fear you will have to live a hard life."

Blanche couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. Although she longed for this marriage alliance to succeed, she was still embarrassed to have it mentioned directly by Luoning.

However, she still replied with a volume only she could hear, "I am willing."

Actually, she didn't live here to enjoy herself, but because she didn't want to have much contact with the outside world, and having a larger place to live was conducive to relaxing her mind.

When she marries into the Wubei Territory in the future, she won't have to hide from people and will be able to walk around everywhere; whether the castle is big or not doesn't matter, as long as she can be happy and worry-free, that is best.

"I heard from Mixi that you encountered pirates at sea. If it weren't against the rules, I would have gone to find you earlier."

Mentioning this matter, she still felt some lingering fear.

"They are just some assassins who cannot see the light of day; with my current strength, I can handle them, so you don't need to worry."

While speaking, he took out the birthday gift he had prepared—

A pale green Silk shawl; this was woven by Lia using last year's silkworm cocoons and incorporated a dyeing process, making it look much better than the scarf given to Lulansi;

Additionally, there was a pure white mug, with the names of Blanche and Luoning written on the bottom. This was fired by Jim according to Luoning's blueprints, and it took several kiln firings to select such quality.

"A gift for you!" Luoning said with a smile.

Blanche revealed a sweet smile, her eyes sparkling with a radiance like the brightest stars in the night sky, and especially after seeing the words on the bottom of the mug, the surprise in her heart was beyond words.

She stood on her tiptoes and kissed Luoning on the cheek, "Thank you, Luoning, I like it very much!"

In fact, these two gifts were not valuable, at least compared to the gifts sent by other nobles, they were very cheap. But this form was more likely to make people happy, especially in a situation where the woman liked the man, it would add points to the gift.

"As long as you like it."

Luoning smiled and took the Silk shawl: "Come, let me wrap it around you." (End of this chapter)
