Chapter 927: Legendary Night (Part Three)

As a merchant who got to this point from the bottom of the social hierarchy, Lewis was experienced and good at hiding his emotions. Right now, he was ignoring the mockeries coming from these ignorant women. From his perspective, these uninformed people were already washed away by this era, and they couldn’t do anything except complain and whine.

Lewis’ goal was to enter the power circle of the new empire. He didn’t want to become an official; he wanted to be a well-connected merchant. This was the only way that his family could survive on this cold continent which was ruled by the laws of the jungle.

Unfortunately, due to his low social status, he was greeted with many cold shoulders.

Lewis was hoping to make some progress such as entering the circle of nobles tonight. That was why he spent a lot of money and used a lot of connections to get his hands on an invitation to this party. However, the situation didn’t go as planned. A few people took money from him with big smiles and promised to introduce him to the influential figures of Alania and the Human Emperor of the North. However, the party was coming to an end, yet those few people hadn’t shown their faces yet. It seemed like his hope was crushed.

While sighing in disappointment, Lewis looked at his wife and daughter who seemed embarrassed and angry at these other women’s mockeries, finally losing the interest of staying here longer. Just as he got up and was ready to leave, a series of strange noises sounded from the direction of the Royal Palace.

The people who were sitting at the tables closer to the Royal Palace all stood up and cheered.

“Ah! It is Human Emperor His Majesty! Also, Leo His Majesty! They are coming out!” People with better vision saw what was happening, and they screamed in pleasant surprise.

Lewis looked up and saw that the influential figures who were haughty and rarely seen had flattering smiles on their faces, and they accompanied two people out of the Royal Palace.

One of them had the golden crown on his head and was wearing a royal robe. Even though he looked a little young, he appeared majestic. He was none other than Emperor Leo.

Beside him, the man was tall and handsome. His long black hair fluttered in the breeze, contrasting with the snow-white robe on his body. With a gentle smile, he looked different and unique in the crowd. Like a god who descended to the mortal world, he looked majestic and celestial. He was the famous Human Emperor Alexander of the North!

Even though Lewis always had his emotions in check, he couldn’t help it when he saw this god-like legendary man. His blood boiled, his heart raced, and admiration appeared on his face.

“I didn’t expect to see the fabulous Human Emperor of the North tonight. Although I only got a glimpse from a distance, it is enough for me. This is exciting!”

At this moment, the cunning Grain Merchant Lewis was no longer resentful. After getting this glimpse, he felt like the money and gifts that he spent were all worth it.

Although Emperor Leo gave a quick speech using the magic loudspeaker, Lewis who was in an excited state didn’t hear one word. Just as he thought that this dreamy moment was going to end, someone lightly poked him.

Lewis was a little angry since someone disrupted this moment. He turned around and saw that it was his daughter, Jenny; she was signaling him to look in the other direction. He turned his head and saw a young man smiling at him.

“You are…” Lewis didn’t recognize him.

“Pardon me; my lord is inviting your family over,” the young man said respectfully.

Lewis frowned since he didn’t know any influential figures. Therefore, he asked subconsciously, “Your lord? Who is he?”

“King Alexander of Chambord.” The answer that came out of this young man’s mouth was shocking.

“What? How is this possible?”

Now, everyone who was paying attention to this was stunned, let alone Lewis and his family. Many of them gasped, and they couldn’t believe that the god-like Human Emperor of the North was inviting over a grain merchant who had low status.

“Is this a joke?” many people thought to themselves.
