Chapter 3364
The Duke looked around and said with a faint smile, “Everyone! During this time, the Day Rise Principality has had many great successes. Today, we shall celebrate!”
Then, the Duke raised his glass to toast and all the Mayors from the other cities followed suit.
"Your Majesty! This is a happy celebration today. I suggest asking Frank to paint something for our entertainment; what do you think?” Jameson, emboldened by the festive spirit, stood up and proposed to the Duke.
He gazed at Frank, who was next to him, with a broad smile as he spoke.
Frank was the Cirrus Cloud City mayor and a famous painter in the Day Rise Principality; he was also very close with Jameson.
All the Mayors from the other cities pinned their eyes on Frank and echoed Jameson’s suggestions as they applauded.
"Yes! Come on, Frank! Paint something."
"It's been a long time since I saw Frank painting..."
"What a great opportunity today!"
Everyone glorified Frank and urged him to perform. Finally, Frank slowly stood up and said with a polite smile to the Duke, "since there’s an overwhelming enthusiasm from everyone here, I shall paint something!"
"Good!" the Duke smiled and nodded.
Then, he ordered his servants to prepare an easel, pen, ink, and paper. The pen prepared for Frank was a beautiful quill as there were no paintbrushes in the Roland Continent.
‘Painting?’ Darryl was intrigued.
When he was a Young Master at the Darby family, Darryl had learned about Eastern and Western paintings; he was quite an accomplished painter. He was interested to see the paintings from the Roland Continent.
Soon, the tools were prepared. Frank picked up the quill and began to draw seriously.
For a moment, the Duke and the other Mayors observed the process seriously; their faces were filled with expectation.
Frank was not only a famous painter in the Day Rise Principality, but he was also a very influential person in the entire Roland Continent. His paintings were classic pieces of art.
On the contrary to everyone else, Darryl wore a relaxed look on his face.
A few minutes later, Frank completed a landscape painting under everyone’s watchful gaze.
"Your Majesty, this is the landscape painting I did. There is deep meaning in this piece; it portrays the Day Rise Principality uniting all the principalities forming a peaceful continent soon!” Frank said to the Duke, smiling.
With that, Frank lifted the picture scroll and let everyone around him admire his artwork. The landscape painting on the scroll portrayed majestic-looking mountains and rippling water. Every detail in the painting was very cleverly outlined; it was a rare masterpiece.
Jameson and the other Mayors stared at the scroll closely and could not help but sing praises.
"It’s a great painting!"
"This painting certainly carries great meaning."
“You’re indeed worthy of being the most famous painter in Day Rise Principality. This is amazing," the people around them expressed their admiration.
The Duke also nodded and showed appreciation through his eyes.
