Chapter 1059 -1056: Fashion Revolution
“Your Majesty, this attire is designed in reference to the royal garments of the Eagle Kingdom’s King, Steel Ridge Nation’s King, and Blast Furnace Fortress’s King, designed by Flack Abaie. Do you need any modifications?”
The best tailor in the Flame Kingdom, Morris, the Inner Court’s ceremonial clothing officer, led an assistant holding a set of extremely luxurious outfits, standing in front of Liszt, respectfully asking.
“The Ruff collar is too bulky; remove it and don’t embroider such a conspicuous flame badge on the chest. Just integrate the flame in a patterned form into the fabric. Also, make these dragon designs more abstract; don’t make them too ostentatious. I don’t like that.”
“The dragon design can be easily handled, but Your Majesty, the large Ruff collar is a symbol of the king’s authority…”
“Don’t argue, learn to follow orders, Morris, go and make the changes.” Liszt waved his hand indifferently; he didn’t need a Ruff collar to flaunt his authority.
Long ago, he had been greatly dissatisfied with the local clothing, especially those Ruff collars, which could suffocate someone wearing them in summer. Now that he had become a king, it was time to put an end to the odd noble garments and innovate for simpler, form-fitting clothing to replace the bulky Flack Abaie.
However, there was no need to make drastic changes all at once, as that would be too eccentric and inappropriate.
He planned to take a year to gradually change the noble attire of the Flame Kingdom to Earth-style suits, tailcoats, and riding gear.
Suits could be worn in daily life, tailcoats at formal occasions, and riding gear for horseback riding.
Of course.
The colors of the Earth-style suits, tailcoats, and riding gear were all quite monotonous, which was not to Liszt’s liking. Although he advocated simplicity in clothing, he pursued color. He would stipulate that the king’s wardrobe could include gold and red, while other nobles could use colors other than gold and red.
A variety of colors would be truly majestic!
Just after sending Morris, the clothing officer, away, a servant came to report that Goltai requested an audience.
“Let him in.”
A moment later.
Goltai entered the Sun Moon Star Palace, and upon seeing Liszt, he saluted exaggeratedly, “Honored King Your Majesty, your most loyal follower, Goltai Mast, offers you his sincerest greetings.”
“Alright, Goltai, there’s no need to spout a load of insincere flattery every time.”
Goltai chuckled, “Your Majesty, this isn’t insincere flattery; this is my sincere reverence for you. It’s just that I’ve been too excited lately, with the Flame Kingdom about to be established—a great kingdom indeed. Back in Fresh Flower Town, I followed you, only experiencing such incredible scenes in dreams.”
“This means that you didn’t have much faith in me initially,” Liszt said, sipping his milk tea and glancing sideways at Goltai.
Goltai immediately protested, “How could that be? It’s really that Your Majesty’s glory was so dazzling, it blinded my eyes. And I, a destitute noble from the countryside, simply couldn’t see beyond Coral Island; it was Your Majesty who led me from Fresh Flower Town to this vast world…”
“Stop there, that’s enough flattery. What brings you here now?” Liszt cut straight to the chase; a little flattery was beneficial for mental health, but too much became sickening.
Having followed Liszt from Fresh Flower Town for nearly seven years, Goltai was very familiar with Liszt’s style and, therefore, restrained himself from continuing to flatter.
He then seriously said, “We have set up the procedure for the knights’ parade, crossing from the Gilded Boulevard of Flame King City through the Triumphal Arch, right up to the square in front of the Sun Moon Star Palace to receive Your Majesty’s review. Marquis Dimaria thinks the ennoblement ceremony should be held in the square, while Duke Pierrot believes it should be conducted inside the great hall.”
In the process of the kingdom’s founding ceremony, following the knights’ parade, came the ennoblement ceremony, which now faced disagreement.

Dimaria felt ennobling in the square, under the watchful eyes of thousands, brought more prestige; Pierrot felt conducting it in the great hall maintained the noble decorum.
“My father’s opinion?” Liszt asked.
“Marquis has no objections, so the Outer Cabinet cannot make a decision and can only report to you,” Goltai replied, the nobility titles are still referred to by their old names as they have not yet been conferred.
After a moment of thought, Liszt said, “After the parade of knights, the Honored, Barons, and Vicounts will receive their titles at the square, while Earls and Marquises will receive theirs inside the grand hall. Dukes will have a separate conferring ceremony.” The upper, middle, and lower nobles each had different conferring ceremonies, fitting for their respective classes.
“That I shall prepare immediately,” Goltai responded.
“Lord Lerald, are you sure you don’t want to be the First Grand Arcanist? Chris has already declined several times, believing you are closer to the truth, having served as the Chief Magic Consultant in the Kushan Imperial for many years. The position of First Grand Arcanist is more suitable for you.”
In the morning, Liszt was preparing the nation-founding ceremony at the Sun Moon Star Palace, and by the afternoon, he had already arrived at the Mage Tower in Reed City to meet with Archmage Lerald Truth and persuade him to take the position of First Grand Arcanist.
Lerald firmly declined, “No, Your Majesty Liszt, such an official position is not what I pursue. I am here in the Flame Kingdom to seek the truth, not to get involved in mundane affairs. Moreover, in terms of approaching the truth, Acherloides is the one truly close to it. I am content to focus on research.”
Acher was an impossible candidate for First Grand Arcanist. She wasn’t human, had little regard for most humans, and only acknowledged Liszt.
She loved conducting research and exploring the truth.
Seeing Lerald’s firm stance, Liszt ceased his persuasion. Deep down, he also did not wish for Lerald to take the position of First Grand Arcanist. He trusted Chris more, who had continually collaborated with him to innovate the system of magicians, allowing the Arcanist System to replace the Magician System.
Entering the lab, he saw Acher operating the Magic Microscope.
Liszt stood aside, gesturing to the now-grown sisters Lucy and Ruth not to come forward to salute but to focus on helping Acher with her experiment. After a while, Acher moved away from the eyepiece of the Magic Microscope, and upon seeing Liszt, immediately flashed a sweet, knowing smile.
“Brother, you’re here.”
“Uh-huh, what experiment are you conducting?”
“Observation of the Child of the Sun’s bloodline. By using the Magic Microscope, we can obtain detailed information about the Druid’s transformations,” Acher turned and said to the twins, “Lucy, go fetch the experimental records from this period. Ruth, clean the Magic Microscope and prepare the new samples.”
“Yes, Teacher.”
Although still minors, the twins had grown physically, beginning to exhibit feminine charms with increasing beauty.
Of course, they still had a long way to go compared to Acher.
However, this did not prevent Liszt from appreciating them with a look, as the unique charm of young girls blossoming was distinctly enticing.
Now Lucy was proficient in fire magic and Ruth in water magic, both showing the potential highly esteemed by the Smoke Mission. According to Acher’s observations, they could both advance to Grand Magician before reaching adulthood. If certain measures were taken to hasten their development, becoming an Archmage was also within reach.
“Teacher, here are the experimental records you asked for,” Lucy quickly returned with several notebooks.
Acher took the notes, handing one to Liszt, “Brother, look at this one first; it summarizes the barriers. After reading it, you should have a comprehensive understanding of how to interact with these barriers.”
