Chapter 462: The First Beauty, Death Returns (Vote Request)

It was expected that the Earl's party would not give face, but no one on the Royalist party cared.

On the contrary, when some of the Earls' party left early with gloomy faces, many young people in the royal party laughed as if they had won a victory. They believed that this was a sign that the political enemies were retreating and that their own royal party had won another great victory.

This is all thanks to the Sea Hunter, Count Saint Byron of Stromgarde.

Many people, including Edward IV and his wife, looked at Byron with particularly eager eyes.

The label of "confidant" has been welded firmly to his head.

"All the remnants of Lancaster have been destroyed in his hands. Now this sword will finally wipe out the Earl's party for me and open the door to eternal life!"

Edward IV, wearing the Sun Crown, took the arm of the stunningly beautiful Queen Elizabeth and announced the start of the ball to everyone. At the same time, he smiled and invited Byron:

"Lord Tudor, please bring your partner to dance the opening dance with us.

You are the star of the party today."

The complacent Edward IV firmly believed that the Earls' party were just grasshoppers that would not last for a few days, and that did not prevent them from continuing to play music and dance.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Byron gladly accepted the invitation and took his tall, bright and beautiful sister, who looked like a silver moon, onto the dance floor.

The dance is led by their Majesties the King and Queen, who then invite all the close nobles of the kingdom to join in the group dance.

This kind of social ball also has political significance. Those who are not invited mean that they have lost influence in front of the king, and the situation is very bad.

As a traditional clergyman, the Archbishop of Canterbury had to at least consider his image to the outside world, regardless of what he did in private. He was not suitable to attend the subsequent ball, and like many earls, he left early.

Byron held his sister's hand in one hand and her slender and strong waist with the other. While dancing, he admired the girl's unique beauty from a close distance. At the same time, he turned on [Divine Vision] and paid attention to the movements around him.

Since entering Ganquan Palace, the decryption density of [Secret: Death Stranding Incident under the Dispute between the Two Parties, Historical Influence 28] has risen to 59%.

Although he wanted to stay in the C position in the stands to watch a good show, he would not ignore his own safety.

"If anyone wants to do something with Death Stranding, there's no better place than Ganquan Palace.

The top leaders of the royal party were all gathered together, and a random brick thrown could hit several barons and viscounts.

[Kingmaker] Warwick is now the biggest suspect. The Earl's party withdrew early, probably not because they were angry, but to avoid disaster in advance!

Perhaps it was because they saw that I had wiped out all the Lancaster factions and the Blue Dragon King, and there were no foreign enemies eyeing their power, that they had decided to completely break off relations with me and no longer play the game of fighting without breaking.

I had originally only intended to 'sacrifice my entire family' to create a golden statue of a great and loyal York minister, but this situation was a pleasant surprise.

Hurry, hurry, hurry, no water in the middle, get in quickly. The whole family must be in order!"

Byron's [divine vision] swept around and finally fell on the king and queen, whose faces were full of tenderness and whose eyes were almost threading.

Especially the beautiful queen, whose long golden hair was tied up with a platinum diamond crown, whose skin was flawless white, and whose slightly upturned lips were more beautiful than rose petals.

Especially the pair of emerald eyes as deep as a dragon that makes people unable to help but immerse themselves in it.

Even though she was already a mother of ten children (eight with her ex-husband, King Edward IV, and two), she was still dazzlingly beautiful and truly deserved the title of "The Most Beautiful Woman in the Channel Islands."

Today, Byron finally saw the special effects of the title of the most beautiful woman:
“Helen’s Symphony of Destiny.

In a male-dominated world order, the foul charm of the most beautiful women is itself a source of turmoil.

One of the triggers for the split between the royalists and the earls was that Edward IV took it upon himself to marry the beautiful widow Elizabeth instead of Princess Iris, whom the "Kingmaker" Warwick was planning to marry him.

Therefore, while Queen Elizabeth has the bonus of unparalleled beauty that can attract any man to be obsessed with her, she also has to rely on a strong man.

When this man is lost, or his military power is no longer enough to deter other males, another Trojan War will surely begin in order to snatch Helen. "

"The Innate Holy Body of Misfortune? This title's special effects really have a touch of ancient influence.

Stealing women is the greatest romance of heroes, and it is said that even the gods cannot resist it. "

Byron himself had no interest in being a stepfather or godfather to anyone, let alone ten people at once.

Even the regent, the emperor's father who loved his sister-in-law the most in his life, could not control his power. After his death, his coffin was opened and his corpse was whipped by his own nephew. If others dare to imitate him, they must be dying.

However, Byron was very interested in becoming a "widow maker".

In addition to the [Emperor's New Clothes], the crown on Edward IV's head also has a third-level holy relic [Happy and Worry-free]:
“Conceptual relic.

Effect: Great contraceptive method.

Designate it for use on yourself, other people or an object, and it will take effect immediately as long as you wear the object.

It is ultra-thin and has no physical sensation. No matter how high your rank or how sharp your senses are, you will not be able to feel its existence at all.

You can enjoy the one-click inactivation service, achieve contraception in concept, and prevent diseases and bacteria, worry-free and free for you to enjoy.

Destiny: Safety first, no chance of success! "

[The Emperor's New Clothes] is like wearing nothing but thinking that one is wearing something; [Happiness and Carefree] is like wearing something but thinking that one is not wearing it.

The frequency of having at least one child a year shows how obsessed Edward IV was with Elizabeth, the most beautiful woman in the kingdom.

Once the queen would never get pregnant again, a life of revelry was entirely foreseeable.

It just so happens that the first thing any tyrant in history does is often to be licentious and immoral!

However, Byron felt that he had no right to judge others on this point.

But he is in good health!

If others dare to follow his example of “one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, without a single day of rest”, there is only one outcome: “Wait for death!” There are only cows that die of exhaustion in the world, but no fields that are damaged by plowing.

[The Emperor's New Clothes], [Happy and Carefree], [Helen's Symphony of Fate], plus the [Iron Nail That Destroys a Nation] which is still in effect, and the entry [Great Concern].

Byron was looking forward to what kind of wonderful chemical reaction would eventually occur when all these factors were added together.

He felt that at least there should be a feast for the hungry ghosts, right?

"However, at least it will allow our respected Queen Elizabeth to take a break and not have to work so hard raising one or two children a year.

I am a very good man, Saint Byron."

I silently gave thirty-two likes to my good deed.

After dancing the opening dance with my sister, I pulled her away from the dance floor and came to a long table on the side which was filled with various delicacies.

During this period, no ignorant nobleman dared to invite Catherine to dance.

Whether the guests who can come here are excellent or not is another matter, but at least they have high IQ and know who they can afford to offend and who they cannot.

It also caused Byron to lose an opportunity to play the crooked-mouthed dragon king in a "retained segment".

"Eat quickly, sister. Fill your stomach quickly. If you don't eat now, you may not be able to eat later."

"Well, you eat too. I just heard from them that Ganquan Palace has replaced a third-level [Gourmet] from Iris as the chef. He is much better than the people that my uncle used to employ.

I feel sick when I think about the song "Looking Up at the Stars" that they presented to me like a treasure. "

After the lengthy ceremony of conferring the title, plus the final presentation of treasures, it was already past noon, and the brother and sister were growling with hunger.

On the long table, there are bison fillets with oil-soaked foie gras, caviar seafood platter, cream chicken puff pastry, large pieces of caramelized tomahawk steak, and cheese-baked lobster with caramelized garlic and milky aroma. The variety of dishes is obviously much better than that of the Lancaster Dynasty.

Just as the two were enjoying their meal, Byron looked up inadvertently and found that there were two guests sitting at another table not far away, eating and drinking heartily.

It turned out to be the [Crime Buster] Sherlock and his assistant [Doctor Crow] John Watson who I met by chance two days ago.

They didn't hold high titles or positions, but they were invited to the banquet by the court etiquette officers. It was really strange.

The two men did not take this opportunity to dance with noble ladies and ladies, trying to hook up with a rich woman and save themselves thirty years of hard work.

Instead, he quietly hid in the corner and ate like crazy.

[Evil Slayer] Mr. Sherlock seemed to have a premonition of something and ate in a hurry:
"John, eat quickly, eat quickly. Free food is the best. The cooking skills of the palace chef are really good."

The doctor next to him echoed:

"Sherlock, you're right, if you come across delicious food you should eat more.

Who says our Hattings is a food desert?

We have a lot of delicious food here, such as iris cuisine, Florentine cuisine, Rhine cuisine, and Castilian cuisine, all of which are very good.

Those [foodies] are slandering us all day long, it’s just defamation!”

Hearing his friend's wise words, Sherlock shook his head:

"That's not what I meant. I meant that normally, how could we get such a free meal?
If it wasn't a mistake by the court etiquette officer, then it must be..."

The two looked at each other and said in unison:
"There must be something fishy here!"

Nod vigorously, and then continue eating together.

They know that they don't have much time left.

Seeing the two of them, Byron felt relieved.

On this happy day, even if Edward IV disagreed with the royalists' funeral, it was too late.

He quickly told Catherine beside him:

"Sister, don't leave my side later."

"it is good."

The two had just finished talking.

Death comes again.

In the sky where it was already raining heavily, a dark rain cloud suddenly floated over.

Through the dim skylight, you can vaguely see large coral reefs reflected between the clouds, as well as the shadows of various strange fish swimming among them.

The blue-black ocean was gently shaking, casting a sparkling water light on the ground.

It seems as if the deep sea is reflecting itself onto the land.

This is another iconic symbol of gradually entering the "intertidal zone" and being submerged by the deep sea bit by bit: coral cloud.

“Ahhhhh——!”

A sudden series of screams interrupted the dance music at the party.

Just as everyone was in doubt, the elite guards stationed outside the banquet hall were attacked by the invisible enemy without firing a single shot, and they turned into dry bones and fell to the ground one after another.

Then, the door was suddenly blown away.

Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! .
Countless horrific bloody handprints poured into the banquet hall from the gate like a tide.
