Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 190 Aunt, you are really good at judging people!
When the city-building project was officially launched, several days had passed since the [Insect Swarm] was asked to help "solve" the problem of the Zhi God.

Some of the privateering ships that subsequently pioneered the colonial trading company had already crossed the east-west shipping routes on their own and took their positions, and they discovered the uninvited guest at the first opportunity.

We have trained personnel to negotiate.

After asking about the intention and obtaining Byron's permission through Nautilus, he guided the Iris warship to dock at a temporary dock named Rapids Port.

Even though Byron had no plans to meet Megan for the time being.

But out of courtesy, the governor personally came to the pier in advance to greet the distinguished guests.

However, before he could see his cheap aunt.

But she had already looked through the open stained glass window on the stern of the ship and discovered a short-haired figure who looked 40% like her in a luxuriously decorated cabin.

He was frivolously pulling a young maid in a black and white dress, leaning over to smell her hair intoxicatedly, his voice clear but with a hint of hoarseness:
"The scent of gardenia, its flower language is eternal love and promise, did you spray it specially for me?

Little Dana, come to my room at night and let me smell your perfume carefully. "

The maid's face was blushing but she didn't dare to resist. She looked like a little rabbit, which made people feel pity for her. The figure smiled even more proudly.

He put his arm around the little maid's waist.

Byron saw this abominable scene of bullying men and women, but he had no intention of upholding justice at all.

Instead, he looked up and down at the short-haired figure with great interest, then shook his head regretfully:
"Tsk tsk, this is really a great way to pick up girls, but it's a pity that I'm also a girl."

The figure who was teasing the maid was dressed in a very masculine style and had short chestnut hair.

But she did not use any extraordinary means to conceal her appearance. Even a blind person could tell at a glance that she was a Westerner.

She was a pretty girl but with a thin body.

No matter how advanced her skills are, they are just slow and timid. How is that different from the dragon-slaying technique?
At this time.

"Jacqueline, do you still have any awareness that you are on the run?
If you don't come out again, our agreement will be completely invalid. You can go wherever you want and I won't care about you anymore.

Just wait for the victim to catch you and let the two families divide it in half!"

Meganilla, who had put on a simple makeup and walked to the door of the battleship cabin, was naturally very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared as a third-level transcendent.

Hearing that his daughter's nature was hard to change and she was still making trouble, he could not help but scold her coldly, disregarding the etiquette and decency of a great noble.

"Yes, yes, mother, I know I was wrong."

The short-haired girl looked reluctant, but she took the first step very honestly.

But before leaving, he did not forget to touch the maid's smooth face again and smelled the fragrance on his hands with intoxication.

"cluck"

Leaving behind a string of silver bell-like laughter in the cabin.

Soon, the mother and daughter, along with a group of entourage, walked down the gangway and stood in front of Byron.

Compared to her daughter who seems to have some quirk and always wears men's clothes.

Meganilla was wearing a purple gauze dress that only married ladies would wear. The design was bold and revealed a patch of white flesh on her chest.

The jeweled brooch sparkles.

She wore a sunshade hat on her head, and through the white gauze were a pair of watery light blue eyes, with a small teardrop mole at the corner of her left eye.

Only a hint of fiery red lips is revealed at the bottom of the gauze, and a casual smile is full of charm.

The high heels on her feet make this lady look particularly tall and charming.

Overseas, there are various magic potions similar to [Blood Brew·Bloody Mary] that can maintain youth and delay facial aging.

She obviously looks much younger than her actual age.

Byron gave her a flawless kiss on the hand with grace:
"Beautiful lady, you are particularly radiant today. Stromport is honored by your presence."

Meganila was obviously a little surprised. After a moment of shock, she covered her red lips and exclaimed:
“Your Excellency, Governor, you are truly a gentleman.

If I hadn't known you for a long time, I would have believed it without hesitation when others said that you were a noble who had been well-educated since childhood."

Byron straightened up and smiled modestly:
"These are just the tasks assigned by Mr. Swarm. As they involve the forbidden knowledge of the Bloodthirsty Cult, I cannot say more."

The next ritual, [Blood Feast Holy Grail], requires them to obtain a title and learn relevant aristocratic etiquette and manners.

For a wild dark wizard, this might not be something that can be accomplished overnight.

Just as the Zerg said, it would take several years to complete the prerequisites for the ceremony. Some even insisted that it would take three generations to train a noble.

But for Byron, both the bonus of title and the so-called aristocratic temperament were as simple as eating and drinking.

Rather, it could be said that the unruly and unrestrained pirate leader was the disguise of this royal descendant.

After all, Lancaster had not been a pirate for many years and had long since washed the mud off his feet.

Even when others were pursuing the so-called aristocratic style, he was one of the few people who could see through the essence of the so-called "aristocratic etiquette".

Whether it is the social etiquette, dining etiquette, or investiture etiquette among nobles, in the beginning they were actually just tests of the king's obedience to his vassals.

Those who follow this set of rules are my people.

Those who do not follow this set of rules are those with dissident motives or enemies, and have nothing to do with the ordinary civilian class.

There is no essential difference compared with the drinking culture at the beginning of another empire.

If one is bad, the other must be too.

One represents civilization, and the other must be very civilized as well.

Drinking coffee and red wine is elegant, so why is eating garlic and onions vulgar?

The main point is that there is no double standard!
Of course, in the hands of some people who can skillfully apply this set of rules, it can be used to reduce social costs and quickly gain recognition.

Let the stranger put you on the same level as him or even higher.

Just like Meganila at this moment.

Seeing Byron's impeccable behavior, she couldn't help but blush, realizing that she seemed a little rude, and quickly apologized:
“Please forgive my intrusion, I should have asked my butler to send a visiting card three days in advance before visiting.

It's all because I need to trouble you about my daughter Jacqueline. I couldn't find you in the Taiman Islands, so I had to come here immediately."

Byron knew that even though he had become famous in the past and was the founder and owner of the International Port, he was still excluded from the circle by the nobles.

In the eyes of others, he is always just a nouveau riche and a lowly pirate.

Hearing this, he just waved his hand calmly and said nonchalantly:

"You're welcome, please." After both parties sat down in the temporary wooden house, Byron had already learned the other party's purpose of coming to see him.

I glanced at the young guy who seemed to be inexperienced and seemed to be interested in everything after coming here.

"So, you are about to return to the kingdom to report on your work, but it is not convenient for you to take Miss Jacqueline with you.

You're worried about her staying alone in the Iris Colony, so you have to entrust her to someone else, right?"

There was one more thing in my heart that I didn't dare to say: 'I thought you were here to find the native shaman to exorcise this guy.'

The lady nodded unnaturally:
"For some inconvenient reasons, it is not appropriate for her to continue staying in the Old World, or even in any place where the church exists.

I heard that your branch, Pioneer Navigation Military Dispatch Company, has already contracted part of the escort mission for Hastings, and its strength is trustworthy.

After the east-west shipping route was opened, the relationship with many Taino city-states was also very good. There was no church here.

You have a very good reputation as well, which makes you a rare choice outside of official forces.

I hope to be able to leave Jacqueline in your hands and take care of her for a few months."

Byron felt more and more uneasy after hearing his aunt's evasive words.

He immediately activated [Echoes of History] and took a close look at the girl opposite him.

"Name: Jacqueline Torredo
Identity: Meganella, the illegitimate daughter of Charles VII of the Iris Kingdom [Victorious King] and the only daughter of Count Torredo

Title: Chameleon (not activated)
Job Rank: Hall of Fame Level 2 [Singer]

Secret: Personality cognition is different from that of ordinary people. He claims that he is a female, likes women, and is naturally philanthropic.

While studying at the Vienna Academy of Arts, he had affairs with countless outstanding girls.

Two of them were so jealous of her that the whole academy was in turmoil and they ended up fighting."

When he saw this, Byron had already connected her to a wanted poster he had seen some time ago.

Reward: [Chameleon] Jacqueline, you can get 100 pounds if you provide any clues to the church.
In the Old World, Jacqueline actually committed the sin of perversion in the Gospel of Creation, that is, changing the "natural benefit" between men and women into the "unnatural benefit".

This sin is big at the same time as it is small.

The current laws in many countries are for the death penalty, but there is a lot of flexibility in its specific implementation, depending on who you are harming.

Anyway, so many clergymen in the church were fine, simply because most of those little boys were not from powerful families.

But the trouble Jacqueline caused was not small.

Those who can study at the Vienna Academy of Arts are not from ordinary families, especially the families of the two girls in the lead, who are both top powerful families in the Holy Silver Empire with a cardinal.

In terms of power, his status is no less than that of an ordinary king.

Both families announced that they would capture this audacious guy who didn't take the church seriously and divide the money in half for each family!
It is no exaggeration to say that Jacqueline fled to the Bantaan Islands.

Byron figured out the whole story, but instead of feeling sorry for her, he couldn't help but gloat over her misfortune:

"A girl is trying to imitate others by having multiple relationships at the same time. What if she accidentally capsizes?
You will be struck by lightning if you waste resources!
If you were my sister, I would break your legs.

No, she is really my sister.

And she has so many boats, and I don’t even have one. Damn it!”

In fact, Byron wasn't the only one who deserved to be scolded by this guy.

The "Chameleon" on the wanted poster was also a title given to Jacqueline by several male classmates of her grade.

This means that as long as this chameleon sees a beautiful girl, he will become very lustful!
This shows how strong the hostility and resentment formed by countless rivals in love are.

"Accepting a guy like this as refuge?
[Blood Red Whiskey] Alfred, who is under my command, is a good drink;

For the sake of freedom and dignity, Guts, who saves money like a hamster, is a money-grubber, and his sister [Mithril Dragon] Catherine is even more greedy;

Plus this [chameleon] Jacqueline with unique taste;

Wine, sex and money have left only one thing left, which represents all kinds of extreme emotions and original sin.

Although I am a pirate by profession, I consider myself an honest person. The atmosphere in this privateering fleet is becoming increasingly wrong."

Besides, Violet had already told him.

This time she was traveling with the Inquisition's warships, and those mad dog-like guys were about to arrive in Bantaan.

Byron had absolutely no intention of being a babysitter for such a troubled girl.

I was about to refuse.

The shrewd cheap aunt seemed to have seen through Byron's thoughts and immediately raised her hand to stop him from saying:

"Mr. Governor, I understand what you mean. This matter will never be in vain for you."

"Ma'am, this is not about money."

Byron waved his hands repeatedly and said, you really don’t understand this.

Snapped!
A large-denomination certificate of deposit from Pioneer Bank was slapped on the table in front of him.

"This is a deposit of five thousand pounds. When I come back from the Old World, I will give you another five thousand pounds."

Byron silently put the deposit slip into his pocket:
"Ma'am, I've thought about it and it's not impossible to do this."

Well, aunt, you are really good at judging people!

Byron had to admit that his cheap aunt really understood him.

Money speaks, truth is silent.

Didn’t you see that the indigenous shamans of Uxmal summoned the spirits of their ancestors to work on the construction site?

Sometimes it doesn’t matter if the bottom line is a little more flexible. After all, it’s for money, not for other irrelevant things.

The goal was achieved, Meganila raised the corners of her lips:
"Also, is it okay for me to send a few extra military officers to your territory to protect Jacqueline?

Of course, you can also assign them to do some defense work or train new soldiers at other times, so don't be polite to me."

He clapped his hands as he spoke.

Byron naturally had no objection because of the money.

But when he saw the three strangers walking in and subconsciously scanned them with [Echoes of History], he still couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
