Volume 9 Chapter 47: Ceremony of A New Viscount

It was the day of the ceremony, and it was lively since so many people attended. There were only a few days, but many nobles had come to the northern region through the gates. The only thing that could be said about this was that it was simple: to meet with the genius. Two new stores had opened in the northern region, and nobles were eager to try.

“Why didn’t you tell me you would have a new one?!” Julius’s eyes grew dark as he stared at William. But the man responded by shaking his head,

“This is not my fault. Also, shouldn’t you be talking to your wife about this? Why are you hounding me?” Those two were much closer.

“You know I can’t do that.” Julius glared, then added, “And why is she even angrier than before?” The gaze she had as she stared at him was lower than dirt. He was trash!

“Indeed, why is my wife also looking at me like that?” Edmund joined in on the conversation. Violet had been giving him a disapproval look. She left with a happy expression but she was now staring at him with dissapointment.

“That’s not me.”

“The kid?” “…”

“Why is the kid doing this? Is he trying to destroy my marriage?!” Julius wanted to pull his hair out of this situation! He had been working day in and day out to deal with the situation, and he came back to see his wife pissed off.

“How is it going over in the capital?”

“Still some issues, but I have dealt with 70%.”

“Mmhmm.”

“Same here,” Edmund had dealt with this as well.

“So, are there going to be refreshments?” Julius questioned. He had heard about the new bakery section and chocolate store being made. That could only mean they would use some of the food there over here.

“Of course,” William grinned. This was definitely something he had to use for promotions. May and Keith’s eyes turned into coins as he said this.

“Father!” Two voices sounded, and they saw two beauties when they turned their heads.

“Carolyn,” “Krystal,” The two’s father’s smile bloomed as they stared at their daughters.

“Hmpf.” That was when they came out as well.

“…” William, Julius, and Edmund had no words to say as they stared at their wives. It was indeed a magical moment. That caused Krystal and Carolyn to chuckle and nudge them,

“You guys look beautiful.” “Mmhmm.”

“Is that all you have to say?” Thalia’s eyes narrowed. Violet continued to smile, but it was not a good one. Anyone could tell she wanted more as well.

“Umm-“

“Hah, how could I marry a man like this?” Thalia held her head. She turned to Carolyn, “Dear, you’re so lucky to have a man who says everything to you.”

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

“But he’s also slow at some things as well.”

“Then charge in and take it!”

“Krystal, you need to do the same as well.” Violet had the same mindset; go in for the win!

“…”

“Carolyn! Krystal!” Carolyn and Krystal turned around to see that it was Sarah.

“Sarah!” The girls quickly hugged one another.

“Hello, Ryan,” William greeted his friend.

“Hello, it’s been some time.” Ryan grinned.

“Should I be calling you a viscount now?” Ryan was also getting a bump up as well. He was going to be handed the title of viscount now.

“There’s no need to do that.” Ryan waved; he was surprised when he heard he was also getting bumped up.

“Where is Keith?” Ryan noticed how the boy wasn’t with them.

William explained, “He’s going to be here; he’ll bring May over here.”

“Ahh, so he’s going to be her partner.” In a ceremony like this, having a partner was a must. But to have Keith do it? Edmund and Julius glanced at their daughters, but the two seemed okay with it.

Actually, the two were glad, which worried them.

“Umm, is Keith going to wear a suit?” Sarah questioned. That was something she wanted to figure out. But that caused the others to tilt their heads, “Of course, he’s going to wear one. Why ask that?” He was going to be May’s partner.

“Because he never wore a suit before.”

“What?”

“...Now that you mention it.” Carolyn held her chin, “Keith had never worn a suit in the academy.” Many parties were held on the island. However, Keith had never been to one. Also, even when there were mandatory parties, the man would skip out on them.

“And he’s always been the type to skip out on social parties.” Sophia scratched. Getting the boy in a suit was literally trying to make a tiger wear one. This guy just didn’t like to wear them. Not only that, there was no need to. Usually, it was Eric, Alvin, and Derek doing all of that.

“That kid is really carefree.”

“And no one could reign him in,” Cedric laughed. Anyone who tried to was going to get blasted by him.

“But Keith wearing a suit, kinda interested in it,” Sarah and the others were eager.

“Didn’t he wear one as Masked Thief?” Jack clearly remembered that outfit was a suit.

“But he covered his face.” It was a totally different thing.

“They’re entering!” Everyone turned to the front door and saw Keith entering the room. And they were all spellbound by the sight of it. What was surprising was how Keith was wearing an auburn suit with roses engraving down the side. For Sarah, she was the same color, but the dress was much more elegant and refined. It was showing off all of her assets without a thought.

“It’s unfair how cool he looks,” Jack groaned as he stared. Keith was already overpowered. Add the suit into the mix, and that was downright unfair.

“So beautiful,” The one in the limelight was May. Keith’s clothing was gentler, while hers was vibrant and gorgeous. It was definitely the perfect complement to one another.

“What do you guys think about May?”

“Beautiful,” Leon and Laura chimed.

“Francis, this is an amazing dress.” May was spellbound by this when she first saw it.

“I aim to please,” Francis nodded as he was prepared. But as they continued to talk about this,

“Everyone. Today, we’ll be celebrating an addition to our ranks.” Julius then asked May, “May, will you support the Solis Kingdom to the bitter end?”

“I do.” May bowed.

“Then I hereby announce you to be a Viscount. Your last name would be Sophus. From now on, your name shall be May Sophus. Here to the house of Sophus.”

“Here!” Everyone raised their glasses as they cheered for the new house. That was when the party started. Being the center of attention, May was surrounded by people on all sides.

“Is she going to be alright?”

“She is. As long as he's by her side, there's no way. He’s making a move right now.” Keith looked at the man, and he quickly backed away from May.

After everything was done, Keith and May were brought over to the balcony.

“Young Master, thank you for everything today.”

“Mmhmm, there’s also one more thing I have to give you,” Keith then raised something up.

“A bracelet?”

“Think of it as a congratulatory gift for becoming the head of your household.”

“…Thank you so much?” May wore, but then she asked, “Young Master, can I ask a favor?”

“Hmm?”

“…Can I get a kiss from you.” May went forward as she said this. However, she was beginning to regret it. And yet,

Chuu.

“…”

“Good?” Keith grinned.

“Mmmhmm!” May nodded; there was no way she wasn’t happy about this.
