Chapter 504 Lu Yun’s “Selfishness”
Chapter 504 Lu Yun’s “Selfishness”
Anna's face still had a faint blush of shyness. Just as she was about to agree, she heard a harsh shout from behind.
"Anna, have you forgotten all the etiquette I taught you?"
Mrs. Frant came with a noble lady who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and covered in jewels.
After giving Anna a small scolding, he smiled faintly at Lu Yun: "You must be Lu Yun, what an outstanding young man."
"But we need to get in quickly, and Anna may not be able to stay here with you in line."
Mrs. Frant maintained her aristocratic elegance and decency and took Anna's arm.
"Please."
Lu Yun smiled casually, indicating that he didn't mind.
"I like polite young people. If you want to work in the Imperial Government Council in the future, you can come find me."
Frant nodded slightly.
Lu Yun touched his nose and smiled: "Then I would like to thank the Duchess of Frant in advance."
Hearing Lu Yun call out the word "Duke", Mrs. Frant's smile became much brighter, and she spoke like the host, "The Empire has always given many opportunities to outstanding young people."
After saying that, he left with Anna who looked unhappy.
"Anna, you are so ignorant. How can you run around in such a distinguished occasion? You have wasted so much time."
"I heard that this banquet was specially held by His Majesty for a distinguished guest. If I go in early, I might have the honor of meeting him. It would also be convenient for me to get to know him and become familiar with him."
The Marchioness, who had come with Mrs. Frant, grumbled softly.
The sound was carried into Lu Yun's ears by the wind, making him laugh.
Lu Yun didn't take the little episode to heart. He waited quietly in line. When he arrived at the door, he took out the folded invitation, stroked it gently and handed it to the waiter behind the door.
The waiter looked at the bent invitation and was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to refuse the invitation, a figure rushed out from the door and took Lu Yun in directly.
The waiter saw the other person's appearance and bowed quickly, "Sixth Prince."
Ruiyun waved his hand, took the invitation from Lu Yun and threw it into the trash can.
Then he took Lu Yun into the hall with a happy face.
He whispered, "I told my dad you didn't like big events, so I didn't arrange any special reception for you. You don't blame me, do you?"
"Why, it's good."
Lu Yun loosened his collar. He really didn't like the feeling of being stared at by a group of people wherever he went.
That would make him very uncomfortable.
"I knew it."
Ruiyun laughed and led the way: "Follow me, my dad has been waiting for you."
Walk through the magnificent corridor and enter the garden behind the hall.
The atmosphere here suddenly became quiet.
When they arrived at a pavilion, Ruiyun shouted loudly, "Dad, Lu Yun is here."
Then he walked into the pavilion, sat down, picked up the pastries on the table and began to taste them without any manners.
I took a bite and it didn't taste good, so I put it aside and picked up another one.
King Bertwood VI ignored his unfilial son and stood up to greet him with a smile: "Our distinguished guest has finally arrived, please take a seat."
This was the first formal meeting between the two sides.
They were all looking at each other.
Lu Yun felt that if the middle-aged man in front of him took off his identity as an emperor, he would not be much different from an ordinary middle-aged man.
He completely lacks the dignity that a ruler of an empire should have.
Lu Yun thought of some of the initiatives the other party had implemented over the years and the public's praise for his "kindness", and he understood something.
Bertwood VI was also looking at Lu Yun, the young man who could be said to have single-handedly pulled the empire back from its usurped position.
He is not as sharp as imagined, and looks very peaceful. It is hard to imagine that such a young man will become the owner of that "killing machine".
After a few seconds of silence, Lu Yun asked first, "Ruiyun said His Majesty wants to see me?"
"Ah yes."
Bertwood VI came back to his senses, held his stomach and laughed, then waved.
A middle-aged woman with a stern face walked out from the shadows in the corner. She was holding a tray in her hand. She walked silently to Lu Yun and presented the tray to him.
Bertwood VI said with emotion, "Ruiyun has already told me everything about you. Given your status, I don't know what kind of gift I should ask for to express my gratitude to you."
"So I hastily prepared two things. I hope you don't mind."
King Bertwood VI pulled back the red cloth covering the tray, revealing a palm-sized gold medal.
In the center of the medal is engraved the word "King" in the imperial language.
Next to it was a black and gold metal card.
Bertwood VI picked up the metal card and said, "This is the territorial document for a habitable civilized planet. Possessing it grants ownership of the corresponding planet."
"I heard from Ruiyun that Mr. Lu Yun came to visit the empire but ended up staying at the house of Norma's youngest daughter. How can this be allowed? From now on, this planet belongs to you. You and your descendants will always have full sovereignty over this planet."
Isn’t this a fiefdom?
Or permanent fiefdom.
Lu Yun was slightly surprised, but did not refuse.
Yet this seems to be just a simple appetizer.
King Bertwood VI skipped over it after introducing it, then picked up the gold medal and explained in a more serious manner: "This is a medal of princely status.
Of course, Mr. Lu Yun is a federal congressman, so this thing is of no use to you.
So it's just a desktop ornament to facilitate your movements in the Empire."
Ruiyun looked at the gold medal with envy.
If others knew that the Emperor called the Prince's Medal, of which there were less than ten in existence in the entire Empire, a "desk ornament," they would definitely cry their hearts out in front of the Juejin Palace.
Bertwood VI continued:
"But apart from this insignificant identity, the most important thing is that as the current emperor, I am willing to make a promise to Mr. Lu Yun!"
Lu Yun was slightly stunned and pretended to listen attentively.
Bertwood VI's expression was solemn, and his voice was steady and powerful: "As long as this medal exists, the Empire will never initiate military action against the Federation.
And from now on, the Empire will pour resources into helping the Federation accelerate its development by investing and pioneering within the Federation.
This medal will also serve as proof of the friendship between the Empire and Mr. Lu Yun."
Lu Yun didn't care about his prince status.
But Bertwood VI's final promise touched his heart.
Although he was not interested in the families of the great senators of the Federation, he still had many old friends living under that starry sky.
He also hopes that these friends can live a better life.
Just like when he wanted to develop a mecha project, the first thing he thought of was not the well-known technology companies in the capital, but the remote Ziyi Star and the Nanli Family.
Not to mention that he has been utilizing the Lu family's resources to this day, investing them in the Nanli family without asking for money to help them with research and development.
Besides Nan Liyue, he also knew many other people.
If the light that shines on yourself can also protect others, why not do it?
Lu Yun didn't hesitate and took the gold medal. He asked jokingly, "I wonder if I can prioritize the resource support areas?"
Bertwood VI was slightly stunned, then laughed out loud: "Of course."
