The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

In his life so far, An Su had come to understand a theorem: the thought patterns and styles of those born in the borderlands were universally identical, and this grand theorem was applicable to any era.

An Su named it the First Theorem of Borderland Birth.

He even wanted to check if His Excellency Merlin's ancestry was from the borderlands.

The sunset slowly descended along the edge of the window grill, the sky gradually turning from orange-white to dark red, and, as if water, the moonlight alternated with the daylight, spilling over Mr. Lister's cheeks, he elegantly pushed up his glasses and calmly surveyed An Su in the room, revealing a disdainful smile.

Lister Muen was undoubtedly a true noble.

A noble is always endowed with nobility's grace.

From Lister's birth, Marquis Norman had told him that children of the Moon Family were born gentlemen.

Seeing Arthur delighted at the prospect of getting a wife, Lister was nothing but contemptuous.

The family education of Lister was truly about staying away from women.

Every time a daughter of the borderland nobility came to propose marriage, Marquis Norman refused them all.

For reasons unknown.

"Do not associate with the daughters of borderland nobility; your future is afar," Marquis Norman advised Lister.

Unlike the martially robust Sun Family, the Moon Family represented the true great nobility in the traditional sense of the borderlands.

The power and connections of the Moon Family were overwhelming, covering all aspects of economics and politics, not only having profound relations with all the large and small families of the borderlands but also having deep ties with the Imperial Capital, and even a myriad of links to the royal family.

It could be said that it was the influence of the Moon Family that prevented borderland politics from being a scattered mess.

It was Marquis Norman who quelled the conflict when Archduke Annand offended the majesty of the royal family, with the first princess personally leading troops to the borderlands, war about to break out.

Without the Moon Family, given the combative temperament of the Sun Family, the borderlands would have been a target for all.

And the man who took the Moon Family to the pinnacle was none other than Lister's father—Marquis of the Moon, Norman Muen.

This mysterious and shrewd man was the truest of gentlemen, possessing exceedingly high political acumen, able to turn situations at will; no one knew how he did it.

Saint Norman, this was the honorable title given to him by the people of the borderlands.

And from birth, Marquis Norman instilled the noble traditions of the Moon Family in Lister, who, through years of immersion, had already reached a considerable level of proficiency.

Now, seeing this series of gifts, Lister merely sneered disparagingly.

He didn't even bother to look at them.

He only pretended to be Miss Yue'er to facilitate the broad conveyance of the Moon Family's spirit, to discipline the nobility's demeanor in the Imperial Capital, not for these superficial and vain gifts.

Alas, he had yet to find a like-minded person.

"Do you not want this gift either?"

An Su, with his keen insight, quickly found the most valuable one from among those boxes—a light blue alchemic gift box tied with a rose, faint water magic power emanating from the box, moistening the surrounding air.

Upon opening it, inside was a floral amulet of water element.

Though it was called an amulet, it more closely resembled a transparent crystal-like flower petal, which under the moonlight, slowly exuded a floral fragrance.

[Heart of the Aquamoon]

[Epic Low Rank]

[Effect: Greatly enhances the practice of water attribute magic, and each time you appear, water vapor automatically disperses, creating a light blue full moon and the special effect of blooming flowers.]

Lister suddenly felt he had found a soulmate.

If it was only about enhancing the practice of water attribute, Lister wouldn't care.

But what was crucial was that the amulet also featured a low-key, elegant yet meaningful entrance effect.

Very befitting of a noble's temperament.

Such a thoughtful gift was far more simple and classy than Arthur's ostentatious 'Abyssal Flame Dragon Heart'.

Lister took the amulet, and upon touching it, felt the water element surge into his body, nurturing the magic power within; the Moon Family's hereditary water attribute talent, just like Lister's father, Marquis Norman, was skilled at manipulating water.

And so was Lister, well-practiced in water, famous for his powerful "Nezha's Sea of Mind" magic. Now, with this amulet, it was as if a fish had found water.

"If you're going to accept this gift,"

An Su discreetly slid the top scorer's letter back into his pocket, struggling to maintain a calm expression. As expected, those born in the borderlands had a common way of thinking—Arthur's father was like this, and so was Lister's father.

Miss Yangzi's knightly spirit had brought his father, and Lister's noble spirit had also summoned his.

"You must connect with the top scorer."

Suppressing the urge to grin, An Su earnestly gazed at Lister.

"Hmph, I will certainly indulge," Lister calmly pushed up his glasses, thinking in his heart that Brother Su indeed possessed a selfless gentleman's spirit and was a trustworthy good brother.

Feeling delighted to the point of being unable to contain it, and even a touch moved inwardly,

"I, too, would like to discuss the spirit of nobility with such a gentleman."

Lister smiled confidently, believing in the upcoming public broadcast, he had the confidence to show these outdated and stubborn nobles of the Imperial Capital what it means to be a noble of the Moon!

He was very much looking forward to his splendid performance the next day.

Listening on the sidelines, Arthur also beamed brightly, tomorrow was a day of double celebration for him, he too wished to showcase the majesty of a Sun Knight.
