Chapter 2704 No One Understands Social Etiquette Better than Me

"Mechanical armor and the driver, in your opinion, who is the tool and who is the master?" Joan asked Slude, "Are we controlling the tools, or are the tools controlling us?"

"Emmm... Forget it! Anyway, you always have a big reason to say, I can't say no to you, why not admit defeat!"

It was a very wise decision for Slude to resolutely give up thinking about the questions raised by Joan.

...

Accompanied by brothers and sisters Conti and Walsunger, Joann spent the afternoon at the Collasberg University, and returned to the "Friendly House" in the evening to open a guest room to rest.

Just as I was about to take a hot bath to relieve my fatigue, I heard a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, he saw a court attendant in uniform standing opposite him, bowing at ninety degrees solemnly.

"Dear Dr. Vader, this is a letter for you."

Joan opened the large envelope handed over by the attendant, took out a short letterhead, looked at it, and said to the attendant: "Please report back to Your Majesty, I will be on time for the appointment tomorrow afternoon."

The attendant bowed again, said goodnight to him politely, and left with his message.

The letter was written by His Majesty the Emperor, inviting Joan to enter the palace at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and drink tea and chat in his office first, and there will be a dinner at seven o'clock.

Five invitation cards were sent along with the letter, except Joan's own, and four of them were blank. Joan could fill in the names of whoever he wanted to bring to the banquet.

This kind of practice is really unreasonable, and it will definitely bring a lot of trouble to the hosting and security work of the banquet, but it expresses full sincerity, making Joan feel that he is valued by the Far East royal family, and secretly moved.

The value of an invitation letter for a palace banquet cannot be measured by money, so he certainly didn't dare to send it indiscriminately. After all, whoever invites to the banquet means that he has to be responsible for the words and deeds of the other party in front of His Majesty and courtiers.

After thinking for a while, Joan took out the communication crystal and sent letters to Conti, Slude, Haakon, and Mr. Franklin, asking if they would spare time tomorrow night to accompany him to the palace banquet.

Conti and the Volsunger brothers and sisters expressed flattered emotions in their replies, and as a diplomat, the old man Franklin would not refuse such an honor.

The next day, Qiao An was blocked at the door just after dawn.

The old man Franklin took three little "thugs" and broke into Joan's guest room, claiming to check his suitcase.

"What suitcase?" Joan held the toothbrush with a confused expression on his face.

"When you go out, don't you prepare a few sets of replacement clothes and toiletries, and take them with you in a box?" Kandy asked.

"No need, just put daily necessities in the storage bag. Besides, I don't have a few replacement clothes. If it gets dirty, I can clean it up with a trick. Usually, I mainly wear this magic robe. I'm not afraid of the cold anyway."

"I knew it would be like this!" Slude sighed while resting his forehead.

"Haha! It's normal, we men are like this."

Haakon held Joan's shoulders and smoothed things over for him.

"Joan, you are going to meet His Majesty in the palace today. If you dress casually, it would be too disrespectful, and it seems that you don't have enough respect for His Majesty Roland and the officials in the Far East."

Old man Franklin gave advice to the young mage.

"Of course I understand this truth. Don't treat me like a country bumpkin who doesn't know how to behave!" Qiao An was a little unconvinced. "The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Far East, senior officials of the central bank, and His Majesty the Emperor himself have all talked and laughed with me!"

Who do you look down on?

No one is more social than me!

"Don't get excited, don't get excited, let me just ask, are you ready for the evening dress for the palace banquet?"

Slude smiled maliciously, making it clear that he was waiting to see his joke.

"Be prepared!" Qiao An replied seriously.

"How is this possible..." Slude sneered and said, "I looked up and down, horizontally and vertically, you kid is not a person with such consciousness at all, I even doubt that you have never worn a dress once in your life .”

"That's not necessarily the case, Sister Slude, you can't always look at people with old eyes. Joan was indeed a little withdrawn when he was a child. He blushed when he spoke, and he was shyer than a little girl. But after so many years of experience, he has matured. A lot, last time I was forced to sign a sell-off contract, I wouldn’t be surprised if anything happened!” Conti upheld justice solemnly.

Qiao An was not sure for a while whether this girl was speaking for her, or trying to squeeze her out, but there was one thing to say, it was not a "deed of sale", it was clearly an agreement between the guardian and the ward.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you guys, look what this is!"

Joan took out a small suitcase from the storage bag, opened it, took out a high-end dress, and showed it to everyone.

"The fabric is good." The old man Franklin nodded in satisfaction after inspecting it, and cast a spell to smooth out the creases on the clothes.

"No—would—right?!" Slude couldn't believe it, "Joan, to be honest, you just created this dress with magic, right?"

Joan rolled her eyes at her villainous heart, and explained patiently: "Mrs. Josephine gave it to me. It's been about three or four years now. I haven't worn it a few times in total. It still looks the same. Brand-new."

"The Countess is so kind to you, she takes care of you like her own son." The old man Franklin said with emotion, "It's a pity that she was sent to Bethlehem by the Continental Congress on business, otherwise it would be the gorgeous Countess who will accompany you to the palace dinner now, Not me, a rotten old man."

"It can't be said that, old dean, you are also a handsome gentleman and celebrity. I heard that you are very popular in the upper-class social circles of Avalon and Fort Colas. In foreign countries, you are more famous than General Vasa. big."

Joan's words are really not flattering. Many gringos only recognize Franklin, a university student who was born in the New World. As for other cultural celebrities in the New World, such as Adams, Jefferson, and Joan himself, their qualifications are too high. Shallow, in terms of international reputation, we have to go back a little bit.

"Joan, the dress from three years ago, can you still fit it now?" Kandy asked worriedly.

"No problem at all, I tried it on last night."

"In that case..."

Brother Haakon came over and interjected with sympathy, almost knocking Qiao An out of anger on the spot.

"In the past three years, Brother Joan, haven't you grown taller at all?"

Isn't that right? Since Joan drank the "spring of youth" three years ago, her body has remained youthful forever, which means that she will not develop anymore. After most people become adults, although it is difficult to maintain the vigorous vitality of adolescence, their size More or less it will still be a little longer.
