Chapter 161

The Swearing-in Ceremony of the Lord?

Kaneff looked at me strangely as I looked stunned.

"Isn't that obvious? Youre officially a lord, so of course, theres going to be a swearing-in."

"No well that's not it. Is it necessary to have a Ceremony? Cant we just skip? "

Before I could finish my words, there was a backlash from all sides.

"Never!"

"Sihyeon, that's impossible

"Senior, that's a little"

Ryan, Andras, and Alfred poured out words one after another.

Slightly cringed at the too stubborn opposition, I looked at Lia and Kaneff.

They seemed to have a similar opinion.

Uh-huh. Do I have to?

Of course. The Ceremony is not just a formality. It's officially a place to announce the birth of a new Estate and a place to judge the power of the new Lord."

"Ummm"

"If you just let go of such an important event, you'll definitely be looked down on by the Lords around you."

I fully understand what Sihyeon meant by that, but I don't think I can agree with you this time."

Andras argued his opinion head-on, which was rare.

"I agree. I don't think you know the importance of the Swearing-in ceremony because you're not familiar with the aristocratic culture yet. Leave it to us this time."

Even Ryan has been pressing me hard, agreeing with Andras.

I couldnt endure the fierce gaze of the two.

"Okay, I understand that the Swearing-in ceremony is important. So what do I have to prepare?"

Only after I agreed did Ryan and Andras' fierce glances subside a little.

Of course, the heavy, serious expression was still the same

"There are two most important elements in a Swearing-in ceremony. The first is the status of the guest, and the second is the size of the event."

"The guest represents the influence of the new lord, and the size of the event indirectly represents the wealth and power of the lord."

In short, it seemed important to show off my personal and monetary wealth.

Personally, I didn't like it very much.

"Guests means doesnt mean inviting just anyone, right?"

"It's good to gather a lot of guests, but the more influential the invited guest is, the better it is."

Influential?

I thought for a while, but I couldn't think of anyone.

"Um! I don't think I have anyone to invite."

"Hahaha! You don't have anyone to invite?"

Kaneff burst out laughing at me.

You have 3 members here who are from the families that are among the 5 great Aristocratic families of the Demon World. Didnt you think of inviting them?

Ah"

Come to think of it, except Bebeto everyone has a great Aristocratic background

. I just thought of everyone as a family, so I never thought of inviting them as a guest."

When the farm members heard my answer, they smiled warmly with a contented look on their faces.

Kaneff spat out words with a casual look as if the warm atmosphere was embarrassing.

"Leave it to them, and they'll fill it up. The three should use their names as being a part of 5 great Aristocratic families to pull in high-profile guests. Isnt it?"

"."

"."

"."

The three of them trembled at Kaneff's suggestion.

Looking at their expression, they seemed to be under pressure to bring in guests for the Swearing-in ceremony somehow.

"You don't have to feel burdened. I'm happy to have you guys as a guest"

"What do you mean by a burden? Don't worry. I'll bring people for Sihyeon to shine at your Swearing-in ceremony."

"Hmm, Sihyeon!. It's not that difficult for me to bring in guests, so you don't have to worry."

"I, too, will try to bring someone suitable for the seniors Swearing-in ceremony.

The three people were rather angry at my words and burned their will to bring in a great guest somehow.

"Okay.

I think I didnt have to worry too much about the guests for the Swearing-in Ceremony.

Next, how do we have to prepare for the event?

Is there any place in Demon World to conduct parties or events?

As I was thinking about how to prepare for the swearing-in ceremony, Bebeto, who was quietly looking around, opened his mouth.

Excuse me May I say something about the ceremony?

Yes, go ahead, Bebeto.

"Well, my Lord told me that he still owes Sir. Sihyeon. So as soon as he heard about the swearing-in ceremony, he was very happy and sent me here."

Why is Lord Barbatos so happy about my swearing-in ceremony?

"Our Lord said that he would support Sir. Sihyeon with all the financial costs and manpower needed for your Swearing-in ceremony. He asked to leave all the preparations for the event to us."

"What?"

Not only I but the other farm members also looked at Bebeto with surprise.

"If you'll allow me, I'll use all the power of the Barbados family to prepare for the grandest swearing-in ceremony."

"."

"Oh! That's some good news. If Barbatos prepares for it, it will be big!"

"Thank you! I'm flattered, Sir. Kaneff."

Bebeto answered leisurely with a stiff look on his face.

"It would be great if the Barbatos could plan the event. Let's make a plan right now!"

"Andras, shouldn't we decide where to hold the Swearing-in ceremony first?"

"The farm building will be too cramped to hold the Ceremony."

"Even if it's a little cumbersome, we'll have to do it outdoors. Instead, I think itll be good if we use the beautiful scenery around us."

"Hey, did you say Bebeto? If you're supporting everything, you're sure you'll get some good drinks, too, right?"

I haven't said anything yet, but the farm members worked out plans for the Swearing-in ceremony with Bebeto regardless of my will.

My head throbbed at the ever-growing scale.

Sihyeon, are you feeling uncomfortable?

Oh, no, Lia. I just feel a little dizzy because everything seems too sudden."

"Isn't that amazing? Sihyeon will be Swearing-in as a Lord! I'm already excited, and my heart is pounding."

Lia excitedly expressed her expectations.

It was ironic that everyone was excited except for me, the main character of the Swearing-in ceremony.

Speranza, who was quietly tasting a snack next to me, pulled my sleeve.

"Papa, what's a Churing-in?"

"It's called Swearing-in!"

"Chwering-inShhuering-inSwearing-in!"

Speranza muttered to herself several times to correct her pronunciation.

She quickly succeeded in pronouncing and made a proud face for a while.

Swearing-in! Papa, what's Swearing-in?

Well when someone takes on an important job, everyone gets together to celebrate.

Is Papa getting an important job?"

Yes, Ill be a Lord of a place."

"Wow!"

Speranza burst into admiration with her arms open and came into my arms with a smile.

Maybe she didn't know exactly what a Lord was, but she might have thought it was a good thing for me.

Despite Speranza's great joy, I couldn't be happy because of all the pressure.

"Why don't you straighten your face? Speranza likes it, too, doesn't she?"

Kaneff said, looking at me.

"It's not working. I'm still not sure if I'm the right person for the Lord position"

"How do you know that youre not fit without even trying? If the Demon Lord thought you werent qualified you wouldn't have got this authority in the first place. That's how much those guys in the Castle acknowledge you, take pride in being a Lord."

The unusually warm consolation from Kaneff made me feel a little more relaxed.

Should I say I feel less pressured now?

But, Papa."

Huh, what dear?

Whose job is important, lord or boss?

"That's"

While I hesitated for a moment to answer, Kaneff answered Speranza's question instantaneously.

"Of course, Boss is more important. The Lord is nothing compared to the Boss."

"Wow Boss uncle is amazing!"

Speranza opens her eyes wide and admired.

Kaneff's face was filled with a smile of satisfaction.

I looked at the figure as if it was ridiculous.

"Boss?"

"UhWhat?"

"Didn't you tell me to be proud of being a lord a while ago?"

"No well that's what I mean!"

Kaneff's behavior was so ridiculous that I couldnt believe that I completely forgot the pressure in my heart for a moment believing in his words.

As expected, Kaneff seemed to fit better on this side than on warm comfort.

Like that, the date of my lord's Swearing-in Ceremony got decided.

As a result, the farm members began to prepare busily in preparation.

They made invitations to send to the guests to be invited.

Discussing with Bebeto, they planned how to proceed with the ceremony, and checked each of the necessary things for the ceremony.

On the other hand, I continued my normal farm life by taking care of baby yakums and Griffins.

Me focusing hard on farm work was rather helping others prepare.

The Barbatos did their best to prepare for the ceremony, as Bebeto promised.

Through a skilled architect, they made an event stage and a VIP seat outdoors.

It looked great because it harmonized with the beautiful scenery around it.

In addition to this, Lord Barbatos also promised that workers and cooks will be sent on the day of the Swearing-in.

If I look at the cost, the support of the Barbatos family was enormous.

It was not for no reason that Kaneff praised them for being generous.

With so many people's efforts and interest, the preparation for my Swearing-in ceremony progressed step by step, and the day everyone had been waiting for was just around the corner.
