Chapter 191 The Lancastrian Rebels

"Mr. Governor, I'm Polly, 32 years old, Fortress Order [Lancer]."

The three military officers from Iris saluted Byron and introduced themselves.

He felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity from these people.

Even with the help of the Storm Ring on his hand, he could vaguely sense a hint of hidden hostility.

Immediately, he quietly threw [Echoes of History] to each of them.

As expected, apart from the popular name, everything else was fake.

"Name: Polly Felix, 30 years old, rank: Inquisition Level Punishment Knight, protected by the [Cursed Object: Mirror of Lies]."

"Name: O'Neill Darren, 25 years old, rank: Second-level warden of the Inquisition."

"Name: Dis Adolf, 23 years old, Rank: Inquisition Order Level Oath Knight"

【Magic Mirror of Lies】Effect:
“This cursed object was created by a wicked stepmother who was jealous of her daughter’s beauty.

Just ask the mirror questions about your appearance, such as, magic mirror, magic mirror, tell me who is the most beautiful woman in the world.

The magic mirror will definitely lie and say, of course it's you.

And this lie will become reality to a certain extent and really change the appearance of the questioner.

The greater the change in appearance, the more lives will be required for blood sacrifice (requirement: the sacrifice must be poisoned to death).

A common question is, am I a handsome young man with a high nose, white skin and blue eyes?

It will also lie and make you into what you want to pretend to be.

This is a real physical change that cannot be seen through spiritual vision.

Moreover, the power of lies protects the transformed, and it is difficult for them to be detected when they lie normally. "

The fact that these three people disguised their identities is not the point.

The key point is that each of their records is followed by a line:
"Real identity. Survivor of the Lancaster Party" identity label!

'Lancaster? Adolph?'

Byron instantly entered a state of flow and was able to control his expression and not lose his composure.

Not only that.

He was not yet an adult when Lancaster was destroyed, so he could not participate in many affairs and naturally could not know everyone in his own camp.

However, he knew the 23-year-old [Oath Knight] Dis Adolf.

Because the young man himself is the reserve knight of the guardian of his cousin Prince Edward, and usually serves as a substitute when there is a vacancy.

On that stormy night, as their lords died, the [Guardian Knights] who had sworn, "The lord is supreme, and no one can offend me before my death," all died suddenly along with them.

The reservist was lucky enough to escape the disaster.

After realizing their true identities, Byron couldn't help but re-examine the deal that was delivered to him today.

"When you entrusted me with the protection of your daughter, you also sent a few survivors of the Lancastrian Party to serve as military attachés to me, a 'confidant' of both the York and Newman families?

Does cheap aunt know their identities?

I guess he probably knows.”

At the beginning, the War of the Roses was lost and the Lancaster clan was exterminated.

Those nobles and merchants who were originally dependent on Lancaster fled collectively in a short period of time for fear of being liquidated by the York family.

Some fled to other countries on the Old Continent along the North Sea coast, and some came to the overseas colonies that were in full swing.

The Pelican merchant ship that rescued Byron was carrying part of the property of Lord Crawford, a Lancastrian, on his way to the Bantaan Islands (Chapter 1).

After some of them arrive in Bantaan, who can they go to?

"The answer is not hard to guess. It's the Iris, who naturally has a lot of relatives by marriage!"

In the history I have studied, since the 1000th year of the Silver Age, the two countries of Hastings and Iris have become an inseparable whole.

The ruling classes of the two countries have always been closely connected in terms of blood ties and political subordination." Especially during the Hundred Years' War, Byron's grandfather Henry V almost destroyed the Iris Kingdom and forced himself to marry the daughter of Charles VI.

He gave birth to his uncle Henry VI and his father, Prince of Thornburg, and also inherited the Kingdom of Iris.

At that time, Iris even became part of the United Kingdom.

The Houses of Hastings and Lancaster also reached their most glorious and prosperous era.

During that period, the two countries were almost completely embedded in each other, and intermarriage between the nobles of the two countries became more frequent.

To be more precise, the royal families and aristocratic circles of all the major kingdoms on the entire east coast of the Old World are in-laws.

It is extremely difficult for the nouveau riche to squeeze in.

If we trace back their bloodline, Byron and the Taiwanese princess Violet might be very closely related.

And there is an unwritten rule in the aristocratic circle:
“If you really want to be a noble, you have to rely on marriage. The poor old nobles are all crying out for food.

No matter if you are a pirate or a slave trader.

No matter whether you are mining in the Old World or being an adventurer in the Bantaan Islands, as long as you have money, you can definitely be a gentleman!
As long as he marries a noblewoman, it will be the same.”

The in-law relationship here is so unclear that even the most knowledgeable scholars in the two countries' aristocratic houses may not be able to figure it out, let alone Byron.

It is even more interesting to know that they are identified as "traitors" by the York Family and are sent to be close to the "confidants" of the York Family.

Byron's eyes turned, and he quickly figured out the cause and effect:
“Indeed, people in the real world are not there to serve as a backdrop for someone else, they also have their own demands, desires, and subjective initiatives.

It is only natural that the Iris Kingdom would want to take advantage of the chaos in the Hastings Kingdom to make some plans.

Coincidentally, as the Newman family, which represented the interests of the York Party, declined in strength, my Pioneer Colonial Trading Company emerged as a new force.

It's a good time to do something.

Send the remnants of the Lancaster Party, who have a blood feud with the House of York, to subvert the overseas colonies of the Kingdom of Hattings.

Even if their identities were accidentally exposed, as long as they could alienate the relationship between the Sea Hunter and the Newman family, it would be a victory for them.

If Adolf and his friends hadn't asked to join the pirate team at the end of the mission, I would have taken your last name!

I’m afraid these guys are ready to stab me, their new boss, in the back at any time?
As for the specific details, how many Lancaster Party survivors fled to the Bantaan Islands, how many of them were extraordinary, and how they are doing now.
Why not ask them some other time?"

Byron withdrew his gaze and looked back at Meganilla who was sitting opposite him.

It is true that this cheap aunt wants to temporarily entrust her daughter to her care, and it is also true that she wants to find an opportunity to cheat the York and Newman families.

As for what would happen to the [Sea Hunter] Byron Tudor, it was not within the consideration of the survivors of the Lancaster Party.

After all, Sea Hunter, as the current top fighter of the Newman family in the Bantaan Islands, and Bill, who has become the future son-in-law of the Newman family, have become two flags.

It would be even better if they could be broken together.

The latter did not notice Byron's abnormality, but continued:

“I have been operating in the Bantaan Islands for many years and have recruited many good players.

I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I'm gradually losing money to support them.

These three are just representatives. While protecting Jacqueline, they will also take a look at whether your new city built on Yucatan Island has any chance."

"More?"

For a moment, Byron felt a very strange emotion surging violently in his chest. He had too many complaints but nowhere to express them.

So, he nodded vigorously to Meganila and said:

“Ma’am, I’ve heard that Iris’s fortress defense technology is unmatched in the world.

It just so happens that there is a huge shortage of manpower in the new city. Please send as many people as you can like this!"

Although, they did not have the [Fortress Experts] they urgently needed, and the mere three of them were far less than his own privateer fleet, and were a drop in the bucket to fill the manpower gap.

But since we already have bread, can milk be far behind?

Even though they all have poisoned spikes on their bodies that could stab their enemies at any time, should I still worry about that?

Let the rebels come harder, I, Byron Lancaster, can withstand it!
