Chapter 19.1 – Let’s Ruin the Party!

「---fi……fififififif, FINALLLLYYYYYYYYYY!!!!」

In a room of the lovely lord’s mansion with the view of the sea, I made a guts pose while holding a letter!

I, who was infamous for being the lord of the worst territory, who had been hobbled by the noble society, received an invitation to a “party”!!!

The one who invited me was “Snail Django”, viscount of the neighboring territory where the abandoned mine we visited before was located! Thank you, thank you!!!

「Fufufu….it means that my hard work has finally been recognized….!」

I wonder if that’s really the case. It could also be because we’ve been getting a lot of tourists in the ex-Bonclay territory lately.

Apparently, thanks to my mass production of crops and livestock, we are steadily being recognized as a place where foodstuffs can be bought at unusually low prices. Unfortunately, no one is coming to the City of Beibalon as usual. Darn.

Oh well! I’ll stand out at the party, make lots of friends, and tell them all about the charm of Beibalon!

There are a few crazy people here and there but what I’m going to show them are the lush greenery and even the sea!

As I read through the letter with those in my head, I found that I am allowed to bring a partner and an acquaintance.

「Yeah, where am I going to find that partner….I neither have a lover nor a wife but if I go there alone, I’d look like a fool….」

While holding the letter, I ponder.

The nobles outside Beibalon are probably very popular so they probably have at least 10 girlfriends. If I go there alone, I’m sure I’ll be ostracized.

Alright, let’s take those “two girls” who look great! Also, let’s invite “that guy” who has my ass!

As for the clothes, I’ll have them made by a high-class tailor who offended and expelled by the royal family! When I healed him for being a cripple, his fingers were all cut off, he thanked me to death. I’m sure he’ll put his heart and soul to make them!

Alright! Let’s do our best for the peaceful development of Beibalon!

---Scene Change-

「---fufufu…..comrades, will the heir of Beibalon really show up?」

「Perhaps he will. It seems that he accepted the invitation. Ah, right! Would you care to guess how cheap the suit he’ll be wearing!?」

「Ufufu, he also neither has a lover nor a wife. I’m looking forward to what kind of dreadful being he’ll bring. 」

….in the moonlit night of a big garden, many nobles in formal attire were gathered.

However, their elegance is only for show. They are enjoying the food and drinks laid out on the table but what they are waiting for the most is the arrival of a man.

---Yes. This was a disgusting banquet held only to ridicule the lord of the worst territory, Beibalon.

They are waiting while playing with their glasses. They were waiting to see what kind of interesting abomination the sacrificial pig called Rize Beibalon would show them.

「----everyone, let’s not make any bad predictions. Don’t you feel sorry for Rize-kun?」

Just as the atmosphere was warming up with bad words about Rize, a man in a bright red suit admonished the nobles.

But instead of being offended, they looked at him with amused smiles.

「Well well, if it isn’t Viscount Snail! What does the host of this party have to say about it?」

「Hahaha! That reminds me, it was me who threw this party for that purpose!」

The nobles laughed at Snail’s joke with a very deliberate tone.

He is Snail Django, the lord of this territory, and the one who threw this vicious party.

He raised his glass in the air and smiled wickedly.

「Ladies and gentlemen, it is about time for Rize-kun to arrive, let’s show this poor guy….the overwhelming difference in “class” and real beauty of nobles! 」

The moment Snail said that---the door to the garden was pushed open.

The nobles said, “Finally, they’re here!” and looked towards the door with a mocking smile.

And then…

「---oh, it looks like we were the last to arrive. 」

And…the nobles were struck with the overwhelming difference of true beauty and class!

「Ah, he is….Rize Beibalon…? The heir to that lowly Beibalon domain…?」

---Of course, he looks like a commoner, no, an ape. At least that’s what the expectations of the nobles but it was blown away.

If an analogy must be used, they would say that he’s a jet-black flower. The moment Rize’s sharp, emotionless eyes met theirs, the noble men choked up and the women felt a shiver down their spines from an unknown sensation.

Plus, the workmanship of the suit that he is wearing is good….no, it’s brilliant!

Even though the design is simple with black as its base color, the material and detailed design were so perfect that it would not be impolite even if he attends a royal party!

In fact, some of the nobles even thought for a moment that a prince from a foreign land had entered.

To that extent, the appearance of Rize in formal attire radiated an overwhelming aura.

…..in addition, the two women on his sides attracted even more attention.

「---I’m Rize Beibalon’s fiancée, Alicia-desu. I’m a commoner but it’s a pleasure to meet you.」

「---I’m Rize Beibalon’s …..lover, Irina….Other than Rize-dono, I don’t like nobles looking at me with nasty eyes.」
