Chapter 497 - The grand Auction of Kuvosie (part-1) (1/2)
Ryuu sighed for the hundredth time as he checked his attire his clothes that used very rare and precious materials like the strings were made from the whiskers of the Five Clawed Golden Dragon, it used wool from the carnivorous Heiðrún sheep, not to mention the various rare and precious stones covering it.
'This is too expensive and gaudy for my taste, and I doubt that even with all the earnings of the auction would be put together it would barely be near about a percent of the cost of this clothes, I don't know what to say about it.'
Over the years Ryuu has been gifted by his teachers various incredibly expensive things like the pen his teacher had gifted him when he was seven years old, a pen that would have easily fetched a few million dollars in his previous life, a pen that is now gathering dust since he rarely uses it, and now this dress he was given so he could attend a party on some planet and spend a couple of hours looking good.
If it were before he had received the memories of his previous life he would not felt anything because he was used to but these memories more often than nought made him compare to his knowledge as an inhabitant of Earth.
A knock at his door brought him out of his musings and as he gave his permission Yamamoto strolled in, he studied Ryuu for a moment before he spoke with a frown, ”My Prince you look dashing though could you reveal a tiny bit of you true face, your clothing is otherwise suffocating your looks.”
Ryuu closed his eyes as a ripple went past his face and he looked even more handsome than before, and upon seeing it Yamamoto gave a nod of approval as he spoke with a smile, ”Now you look every bit like a Prince from some fairy tale.”
”Thank you, advisor Yamamoto though you look quite heroic yourself.”
Yamamoto simply grinned back as he spoke, ”Then let us get going the guests should be arriving soon.”
With a nod, Ryuu left his room with Yamamoto trailing after him and soon he found himself nearing the Grand hall where the workers of Shangri-la Kuvosie branch were extremely busy working nonstop doing last-minute checks to ensure that the event would be successful, and Ryuu soon spotted Yu Wu who was busy giving out orders with a stern look on her face.
”Is everything alright Sister Yu Wu?”
Yu Wu looked towards the speaker as she was stunned into silence for a moment while Ryuu simply looked at her with one of his bro raised.
Yu Wu quickly reigned in her wits as she spoke, ”Yes, everything is fine and thank you for supplying us with wine, and also you look really handsome boss.”
Ryuu simply smiled back as he spoke, ”There is no need to thank me it is the least I could do to preserve Shangri-La's honor, also thank you for the compliment and Sister Yu Wu you look rather beautiful as well.”
Yu Wu smiled back as her eyes roamed over Ryuu's dress for a moment, a dress that would fir royalty but then her eyes fell on the red shoulder cape that only covered his left shoulder and stopping just below his elbow, but more importantly it fell on the Coat of Arms that it bore, and seeing it a frown formed on her face.
”Boss, I do not wish to sound rude but that Coat of Arm I have never seen before, should it not be like us.”
As she spoke she pointed at the Coat of Arms on her right, her coat of arms consisted of the symbol of Shangri-La in silver colour with the words Kuvosie and West on top and under it respectively, even the Coat of Arms on Yamamoto resembled her except his looked a bit more precious and had the words South and Central on it.
Unlike them, Ryuu's was golden coloured, with the creatures in the symbol being cast in a manner that they looked alive, but what separated him from others was the fact that he bore a Crown at the top with twin dragons one black the other white stood guarding the sigil of Shangri-La.
Ryuu took a small glance at his Coat of Arms as he spoke, ”This is a very rare Coat of Arms that belongs to a select few and I am blessed to don it.”
Yu Wu blinked owlishly for a moment while musing inwardly, 'I will have to consult the manuals over Coat of Arms, boss is becoming more and more mysterious, and it is going beyond my tolerance level either I find it out by myself or commit a severe faux pas.'
”How big is the queue?”
”Pretty big boss, even if the entire hall has been filled to the brim there is a large queue outside and I fear it might get a bit rowdy.”
Ryuu nodded as he spoke, ”Of course it would as I have no doubt a few idiots would cause needless trouble for one thing or other I hope the guards would be able to cope with it.”
”Of course they would.”
