As the two future hostesses of the Duke's family, Alisha and Lisha were busy early in the morning under the fiddling of a group of people.

Just like men have men's social circles, the wives will gather together to communicate with each other. Although Ryan does not want to know what the noble lady communicates,... comparison is inevitable.

The costume designers and stylists hired by the Duke's Mansion are surrounding Alisa and Lisha. Their duty is to prevent the two hostesses from being embarrassed at the banquet because of their dress problems.

The etiquette teacher is also providing emergency guidance to Lixia. Lixia has learned a lot of complicated aristocratic etiquette in recent times. The middle-aged female teacher plans to give her some reminders and consolidation at the end.

Ryan couldn't feel relaxed either, and he needed to make a decision on all the arrangements in the banquet hall.

The first time he led the holding of such a large banquet, Ryan, who lacked experience, was a little dizzy for a moment.

If his father Croval hadn't been able to bear it and came out to help him, he might have been dizzy by the butlers' requests.

Qiya was taken away by Rosai who was excited to go to the street to find festival food early in the morning. With Emma and Vita helping to take care of them, Ryan was not worried about their safety.

Although Qiya expressed a certain resistance, Ryan still asked Emma to take Altina away by the way, so that this little guy who was only less than a year old would also experience the traditional festival of the empire.

On the first day of the celebration, the miserable Ryan had no time to leave the city hall to experience the festival. Until the eve of the banquet in the evening, he confirmed the process of the banquet with the butler and maids under his father's advice.

"It's almost done."

Croval breathed a sigh of relief, "Although the decoration does not fit my aesthetic view, there are no problems in other aspects. Next, you will deal with it yourself. Your mother and I are also preparing to go to the two-person world."

Ryan rolled his eyes, then collapsed his shoulder helplessly and said, "Go and go, you two are not too numb at the age of yours..."

"Hmph! What kind of mood do you know?" Croval looked at his son with contempt and complained, "I haven't been able to take down Alisa for so long, son, my father is very disappointed with you."

Looking at his father who turned and left, Ryan smiled helplessly, "Bremer, let's go too, the guests have already entered the venue?"

"yes."

The old housekeeper who was brought back from Ke State by Ryan still saluted meticulously, "Reconhou, Igretber and others are greeting them. The Duke only needs to go on stage to give a speech at the beginning of the banquet."

...

According to Ryan's personality, he was not very interested in such flashy banquets.

However, since he has taken over the position of Duke from his father, he must also bear the responsibility associated with it.

This banquet includes the intention of connecting the nobles of Lamar State, improving the cohesion of the noble circle and demonstrating the strength of the Kane family.

If the scale of banquets shrank compared with previous years, it means that the power of the Kane family is gradually shrinking, which is not good news for the nobles in Lamar State.

So, although Ryan was not willing to hold such extravagant banquets, he still cheered up and worked hard to complete his duties with the encouragement of his parents.

The opening speech at the banquet was written by a special scriptor in advance, and Ryan only needs to read it according to the content on the note.

The content... is nothing more than the old thing, such as good weather this year, how much income in Lamar State is like this year, thank you for your visit, etc.

However, some gorgeous rhetoric was deliberately added to these trivial matters, making this speech sound more stylish.

After the speech, the banquet officially began with the polite applause of hundreds of nobles present.

Alisa and Lisha, who were officially attending the Kane family banquet for the first time, were soon surrounded by a group of noble ladies and wives.

Alisa received education from a young lady since she was a child and she was quite comfortable to deal with it. After the assault training, Lixia was able to barely deal with it with the help of the universal maid Shirlen.

Qiya and Yartina were also rarely together. They were at a loss and faced the children of a large number of noble families around them. The chattering children became the most lively corner of the banquet hall.

Weita, who has an elegant temperament and is very attractive to a mature woman, has attracted many noble young masters to chat with her.

However, this witch looked at ease. When there were too many people, she would pull Clo, who looked bored, as a shield.

Emma was embarrassed to guard her grandmother who was eating Haisai. Fortunately, others saw that Luo Sai was a child's appearance and did not take her rude behavior seriously.

Under the leadership of Earl Eagle, Ryan met many old nobles in Lamar State.

These nobles may not have high titles, but their families have indeed taken root in this land for many years.

There was a middle-aged nobleman named Baron MacDonald, whose family line could even be traced to the beginning of the aristocratic system.

Unfortunately, because of the decline of family affairs, this family that once had the title of marquis was gradually reduced to barons.

The MacDonald family, who had been extravagant and wasted identity, finally learned from their mistakes after gradually falling into the mortal world and abandoned their previous luxurious living habits. Only then did the two generations gradually show signs of recovery.

Of course, among the nobles introduced by Earl Earl Eagle to Ryan, it is not the only family with more bumpy experiences.

Since modern times, there have been several families who have worked hard and gradually fought to the throne of count.

These nobles were very respectful to Ryan. Duke Kane was the pillar of Lamar State. The rise and fall of the duke family largely determined what future would be for these protected nobles.

As the new duke, Ryan proved his ability through Heimdal's rule and later strategic layout during the Civil War. These old nobles recognized and looked forward to his succession and future achievements.

During the exchange, an elderly viscount tentatively asked Ryan what attitude the Lamar state aristocrats should take towards the reformists afterwards.

In addition, some people have indirectly asked about the law enforcement efforts of your Discipline Inspection Commission, what can be done and what will violate their bottom line.

"Are you going to the reformists..."

Ryan pondered with the red wine for a moment, "No need to make too many changes. We don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble."

"If the reformists who come to Lamar State can be obedient, we don't need to tease them on their own initiative, but if they provoke them on their own initiative... there is no need for you to swallow your anger."

"Although the civil war ended in a draw, everyone knows why. As long as things don't make too big, I will help you finish it if something goes wrong. You don't have to worry about how you live or how you live it."

"but……"

When the nobles present smiled with peace of mind, Ryan suddenly raised his voice and made a twist.

"Someone asked about your Discipline Inspection Commission just now, let me express my opinion here."

Ryan looked at the nobles seriously and said, "I think everyone should have noticed that with the advancement of technology, the fundamentals of the aristocratic system are being shaken."

"We cannot continue to be the same as before, just simply manage the hierarchy in our own territory and enjoy territorial taxes every year."

"You might as well ask your investment advisors for their investment intentions as soon as possible. Transformation is a must."

"And... try not to hear anyone bullying civilians in their territory. Times have changed. What you did that morning might spread throughout the empire in the afternoon."

"I hope that your behavior will meet the responsibilities and obligations that the identity of 'noble' has given you. I don't want to hear that the aristocratic circle in Lamar Province is often criticized in newspapers and radio stations. Do you understand?"
