Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 662 Red Wedding and Red Wedding

Dressed in formal attire and with a scimitar on his waist, the Sultan of the Crescent Moon Empire [Lord of the Two Seas and Two Lands] Mehmed II stood on the ceremonial platform, admiring the "beautiful face" of his new princess from above.

dong dong dong.
I just felt that every detail of the other person was in line with my own aesthetic, and the lonely heart in my chest began to beat violently again like a drum.

The no longer young body is full of strength again.

The last time the king was as excited as he is today was the day he conquered the capital of the Western Silver Empire twenty years ago and achieved supreme hegemony.

Looking at the peerless "beauty" who could not even bear the weight of a flying carpet, the pair of murderous and ruthless eyes gradually became dull.

Even he himself didn't know that he, who had had countless women in his life, could be as loyal as he is now:

“Compared to [The Most Beautiful Princess] Kazaar, the two hundred princesses in my harem instantly became insignificant foils.

I've heard that most of the famous beauties in history had tragic fates.

Because only the truly strong can protect their peerless beauty, otherwise it will only lead to wars and killings again and again, so there is the saying "standard configuration for the strong".

I have no doubt that if the bandit states on the east coast saw the beauty of Qajar, they would launch the Tenth Crusade to get her back.

Present her to the most powerful rulers on the East Coast, the Pope, Frederick III of the Holy Silver Empire, and the newly crowned Pirate Emperor, in exchange for their generous rewards.

My cheap father-in-law, [Desert Eagle] Nasser al-Din, although a fence-sitter who wants to please both sides, did a good job in this matter and did not give Qajar to outsiders.

Otherwise I will kill him!"

Looking at the spectators in the square who were all conquered by the most beautiful princess and were extremely excited, Mehmed II, who had originally felt a little guilty about snatching away his son's sweetheart, soon felt completely relieved.

Comfort yourself silently:

“The communication between the three continents is becoming more and more frequent. I am not completely without hope of achieving immortality like those dark wizards who study forbidden knowledge.

I am the greatest monarch in the history of the Star-Moon Empire, and I am only fifty years old now. As long as I become a fourth-order mythical creature with a long lifespan, I can still work for another five hundred years!
Only death can make me give up the power I hold.

For the peace of the Silver Continent and for the unity and friendship of the West Coast, such a stunning beauty can only belong to me, the most powerful monarch of the West Coast.

Bayezid, my child, the water of the most beautiful princess is too deep for you to grasp. Let me, your father, bear the ups and downs for you.

I, the greatest Sultan of the West Coast, Mehmed II, Lord of the Two Seas and Two Lands, am born with great love!"

Soon, Qajar arrived at the ceremonial platform on a flying carpet, escorted by a group of guards, and was supported by Muhammad II to the front of the platform.

The restlessness in the entire venue gradually calmed down under the orders of the judges of the Tribunal sequence.

Marriage is the most important "holy act" in the life of Holy Spirit believers and also the most serious obligation.

Moreover, marriage can bring people many material, moral, and ethical social benefits. Therefore, the Holy Spirit Church encourages believers to get married, establish families, and firmly opposes celibacy.

Therefore, the fertility rate has always been among the highest among all ethnic groups, unrivaled.

At the signal from the sect's chief elder who presided over the ceremony.

Four burly strongmen carried a magnificent golden throne and placed it on the stage, with a muffled "bang" sound.

There was no one sitting on the throne, but a huge pure gold crown was placed upright.

The brilliant spiritual light filled the vision of all extraordinary people and even mortals. The most supreme power on the West Coast finally made most people come back to their senses from their fanatical admiration for the beauty.

Someone uttered a low cry of surprise:
"That's the legendary Caliph's quadruple crown. It actually looks like this. It looks majestic."

"It has one more crown than the Pope's triple crown. Doesn't that mean it has a higher status than the Pope? Is the Holy Spirit Church going to take back orthodoxy from the Creator Church?"

This crown, ordered by Muhammad II, is different from all the crowns and imperial crowns of other countries on the continent.

You should know that the Pope’s crown only has three layers, but he made himself a quadruple crown weighing 42 kilograms!

The number four has no special mystical symbolic meaning in this world where everything is three. It simply means to challenge the authority of the Pope with the position of the Caliph.

Although Mehmed II himself, as a mortal, had never worn such a heavy thing.

However, as a concrete manifestation of royal power with strong symbolic significance, it has long been linked to its own iron law of royal power - the code of law that combines politics and religion [the Shari'a Code].

It became the legal core of the entire Star-Moon Empire.

A network of laws appeared in the air, outlining a very complete set of laws: faith, morality, worship rituals, civil and criminal laws, etc.

All of them were openly displayed to the public and foreigners.

Byron looked up and read through them one by one, and couldn't help but nod secretly:
“Who would have thought that the West Coast, which was portrayed as ignorant and backward by the East Coast countries, was actually much more civilized and prosperous than the East Coast, where the church countries gathered, for a long period of time.

Even the teachings of the Holy Spirit Church were more enlightened than the iron laws of the monarchy of various nations, and were more tolerant of pagans.

We lie, we cheat, and we steal.”

Byron also heard Amitāb tell a joke that was popular among the members of the Creator Church at the junction of the East and the West:

“If the Poor Knights or the Knights of Malta came to our land, we would follow them to fight the infidels of the Crescent-Star Empire;

If the people of the Star-Moon Empire came to our land, we would follow them and fight the feudal lords on the east coast;

However, if the lords from the East Coast come to our land, we will not hesitate to flee to the land of the Star-Moon Empire to make a living.

Because the lords of the East Coast will rob and kill us all sooner or later."

This shows what the true reputation of the various forces in this border area is.

There is actually a sequel to this joke.

“Finally the loving priest of the church came.

They took in the homeless orphans after the adult believers fled, gave them food, clothes, and the opportunity to believe in a noble god.

Until one dark and windy night, he took them into his bedroom and forced them to blow the "trumpet" to heaven.

Their faith has completely collapsed. Although they are still alive, they are already dead. "

Although this joke sounds a bit hellish, at least it portrays the images of the various forces very vividly.

To the locals who were communicating between Eastern and Western civilizations, the East Coast, where heresy trials were frequently held in that era, was the land of the real barbarians, poor, bloody, and tyrannical.

The Age of Discovery began not because of the spirit of exploration that later generations advocated, but simply because people were so poor that they couldn't suck blood from the countries on the west coast.

Even Byron, the legitimate successor to the Union Jack, found it difficult to refute this point.

We have to admit that Muhammad II, the Lord of Two Seas and Two Lands, is indeed a great ruler. Such an arrangement not only reflects the bearing of a great country, but also the broad mind to unify the entire Holy Spirit Christian world.

unfortunately
Byron had already seen the eldest prince Bayezid the Conqueror of Fatih appear in front of the ceremonial platform.

Just as the chief elder presiding over the ceremony read out, "Groom! Do you accept it?"

The prepared candies were gently thrown to Mehmed II, and he was prompted to say: "I accept".

Then Qajar was prompted to answer: "I would like to."

"Wait a minute!"

Before the wedding, witnessed by the "quadruple crown", was completed, a loud shout interrupted the wedding.

Bayezid, with a knife on his waist and a halberd in his hand, walked up to the stage step by step, looked at his future stepmother with deep affection, and said:

“My most beautiful Kajal, you are much thinner than before.

You must be suffering in your heart to be asked to marry a man older than your father, right? "

Qajar was at a loss, not knowing what was going on, but he very much enjoyed Bayezid's admiring look at this moment.

To this "most beautiful princess", the old Sultan represents the present and the eldest prince represents the future. The latter is more handsome than an old man and more in line with her aesthetic taste.

Moreover, the latter even launched a war against the Zoroastrian Empire for her, which was enough to prove his love for her.

So before standing on the ceremony platform, what she was actually thinking in her mind was to first marry the old Sultan to get the "present", and then after the old Sultan died of old age, she would use her charm as the most beautiful princess to marry the spare prince to get the "future".

We want it all, now and in the future, a win-win situation!
But now it seems that something unexpected has happened, and the spare tire does not seem to accept the perfect script she had arranged in her mind.

Mehmed II looked at his already outrageous successor and growled:
"Bayezet, get out of here now and I can pretend that nothing happened.

Otherwise I will let you know that my anger is not something you can bear. I am just old, not dead!"

Of course, what he said sounded nice, but at this moment it was like an old lion king being tested by a young lion. His most sensitive nerve had been stepped on, and murderous intent was rising in his heart.

He decided to find an opportunity to get rid of his son, who obviously did not recognize his own identity and status, after he successfully completed the wedding!

He then appointed a younger son who would not pose a threat to his younger son as his heir, until he gained eternal life through the "triangular trade".

However, Bayezid, who had the domineering title of "Conqueror of Fatih", not only did not retreat, but instead smiled at him viciously:
"Father, it's too late."

The sword at his waist suddenly came out of its sheath, and Muhammad II saw that the situation was not good and dodged and flew back.

But the knife did not fall on him, but instead cut the crown next to him that symbolized the empire's ruling power.

Miraculously, the surface of the four-layer crown rippled like water, and instead of being split in half, it turned into two crowns, but each had only two layers left.

Mehmed II's pupils shrank, and then his eyes slowly fell on the peculiar double-edged sword in his son's hand. He couldn't help but exclaimed:
"This is the Level 0 Holy Relic [Zulfikar Holy Sword]?!

How did you break the seal, you idiot? "

This action made Mehmed II more angry than spying on his bride. The Remit Church and the Creator Church both had powerful zero-level holy relics, and of course the Holy Spirit Church also had some.

It is said that during the Battle of Badr in 624 of the Silver Age, the Founder was surrounded by enemy forces.

The six-winged archangel Gabriel suddenly appeared from the sky and gave him this magic sword to help his army turn defeat into victory.

This magic sword has a unique shape, it is a double-body sword with forks like a pair of scissors.

Its destiny foreshadows the inevitable separation of believers and schisms in the spread of faith.

The ability is very strange. It cannot kill anyone, but it can cut anything in half, even if the target is just a concept.

For example: "If you want to cut the class of a fifth-order legendary, with one strike, you can cut his class in half, from high sequence to mid sequence."

The ability is ridiculously strong, but the side effect is even stronger, which is that the user's most precious things will also be torn apart.

Believers believe that this was probably one of the reasons why the Holy Spirit Church split into two immediately after the death of the founder.

Later, they feared the power of this weapon, so a group of legendary elders from the "Orthodox Path" sealed it up and it has not been used for hundreds of years.

Until today, Bayezid took out the holy relic sword and split the crown of the Star-Moon Empire in two.

He and his father both had equal authority to rule, and the Lord of the Two Seas and Two Lands could no longer rely on his control over the laws to suppress his heir.

Who lives and who dies from now on will all depend on their own strength.

At this point, Bayezid, who was invincible all over the west coast with a halberd, had absolute confidence in himself.

Mehmed II was almost mad with rage. He drew the scimitar from his waist and asked in a stern voice:

"Bayezet, are you crazy?

I have recaptured the Holy City and expanded the territory to its historical limit. I am now on the verge of reuniting the Orthodox Path and the Followers, mending the differences that have arisen since the death of the Founder.

You used this sword again at this time, do you think our Holy Spirit Church is not broken enough? ! "

He was responded with a powerful blow to the head by the halberd.

clang--!
Amidst flying sparks, the elderly Sultan was knocked back two steps by his strong son.

Bayezid just sneered:
"Split?
Anyway, I am still young. Even if it splits, the worst that can happen is that I can take back the separated territories with my own hands.

I only know that if you don't die today, not only will I lose my beloved, but it's even uncertain whether I'll live to see the day when the Holy Spirit Church is unified.

Kill them all! Don’t leave any of the old guys alive today!”

At the command, hundreds of onlookers suddenly lifted up their wide burqas, drew out their scimitars and muskets, and rushed towards the old ministers in the guest seats who were loyal to Mehmed II, as well as other princes and kings who also had the right to inherit the throne.

Obviously, this ambitious prince would not move at all unless he moved with thunder and lightning, and he was not prepared to leave any hidden dangers for himself.

The methods for an heir who has become too successful to be trusted by his master to deal with his father and brothers are not much different.

In fact, after all these years of accumulation, the potential power of the eldest prince Bayezid in the Star-Moon Empire has become very huge.

The great hero is no longer young, and the ruling class of the entire empire is ready to transfer power to the next generation in the next few years, or at most within ten years.

Many military nobles of the younger generation rallied around this eldest prince who could lead them to continuously gain military merit.

Since the Star-Moon Empire conquered the Holy City twenty years ago, most of the subsequent territories were conquered by Bayezid.

Princes may be obsessed with "beauty", and what they care about is only profit.

When a powerful ruler is in power, power is highly centralized and anyone who dares to touch him will die. Interest groups can only lie dormant and wait for the new ruler to take the throne.

Now that the old Sultan has no intention of dying, and is preparing to buy up a large number of treasures from the Corridor of Truth to prolong his life, their position has suddenly become awkward, and they may even be treated as the prince's gang and be liquidated together.

At this time, he was not only helping Bayezid to snatch women, but also fighting for his own life and power!
"Kill Kill Kill"

"The prince has ordered that no one should be left alive!"

"The eldest prince is rebelling, protect His Majesty!"

The guards and supporters of both sides immediately fought each other.

The wedding, which was originally full of joy, turned into a river of blood.

Byron took a sip of the sea buckthorn juice slowly, then nodded to Amita, who was kneeling beside him to serve him. The latter bowed and turned into a shadow and disappeared without a trace.

It was probably because both families found the same lousy prophet to calculate the date.

While the wedding was being held in the Star-Moon Empire on the west coast, a high-level wedding was also being held in the Iris Kingdom far away on the east coast.

On this day, Count François of Angoulême, a distant branch of the Valois royal family, married Louis XI's widowed sister, Princess Charlotte Margot of Valois.

In the solemn and dignified Orthodox Sacred Heart Cathedral, guests from both sides gathered together. They were all well-known figures in the entire Iris Kingdom and even in several neighboring countries.

The wedding ceremony was over, and everyone gathered in the specially decorated banquet hall next door to enjoy a sumptuous dinner.

Today, the princess bride of the Valois royal family is the focus of everyone's attention, just like the most beautiful princess of the West Coast, Cazar.

The low-cut evening dress revealed a dazzling crescent-like whiteness, and her waist was slender, not as slender as a snake willow, but the kind of slenderness that would break if you didn't use enough force.

The hem of the skirt was tightly covered in some places, but as thin as a cicada's wing in other places, revealing the long and straight thighs.

She is full of charm and extremely charming.

Especially those light brown eyes, which are filled with the innocence of a fawn, make people want to turn into werewolves and tear them into pieces on the spot.

In fact, many of the dignitaries present had indeed experienced that wonderful feeling that was like ascending to heaven.

Princess Charlotte is not a real pure girl. She is 34 years old this year, one year older than Meganella, whose daughter has already grown up.

After a failed marriage, she never remarried, but her lovers ranged from the Palace of Versailles in the Iris Kingdom to Florence in the Holy Silver Empire.

Not only did the princess not get sick, but she looked younger and more beautiful, which amazed the noble men and attracted them to her.

"Hey guys, who was the last one to leave Princess Charlotte's room last night?"

“It wasn’t me. My legs were weak last night and I crawled down from the princess’ bed. If I had left any later, I would have died on the princess.

All I know is that when I left, someone else got into the bed, but the room was too dark, so I didn't know who it was.

Joseph, is that you?

"Of course not me, I left before you came, and brothers Albert and Adolf came in after me.

On the way back, I met Felix and his son who were also rushing towards the princess' room. I guess even our beautiful princess didn't remember who that person was. "

"Haha, for her last bachelorette party, Princess Charlotte invited many of her past lovers who had satisfied her in bed.

After marriage, before giving birth to a child for the Angoulême family, she could no longer indulge herself like this.

In order not to drive herself crazy, Her Royal Highness the Princess did not rest the entire night.

However, I guess the guy who stays till the end will definitely not be our bridegroom, the Count of Angoulême. Hahahaha"

Then there was a low laugh, which was slightly lowered in tone but still loud enough for others to hear.

I heard several guests were still discussing with nostalgia on their faces who had stayed in the newlywed wife's room until the end last night.

The count, the bridegroom, had a very calm expression on his face.

Just like the legendary Iris gentlemen, even if you see your wife having a tryst with her lover in the bedroom, you should politely leave and close the door.

This is called grace!
Besides, Princess Mago’s nature has not just changed today, she is well-known even in foreign aristocratic circles.

He married the most promiscuous princess in the history of the Iris Kingdom, not because he really loved her.

Holding the wine glass, he looked towards the hall and saw the current King Louis XI, Queen Anne, and most of the blood relatives of the Valois royal family.

While I was excited, I also sighed with a little regret:
“It’s a pity that the Royal Family of Lancaster didn’t come.

However, this was already expected, so let’s just get started.”

He waved his hand to signal his allies.

Byron's family did not come. He was only interested in the throne and had no intention of dealing with these distant relatives in advance.

The older generation of the Valois royal family had all been cleared out by Byron's grandfather, Henry V [The Hammer of the Iris], leaving only a few cats and kittens.

King Richard VII of Victory had quite a few children, including 14 official children and three illegitimate daughters, a total of seventeen children.

But some died young, some had no heirs, and in the end only one male, Louis XI, is still alive.

There are still seven or eight daughters alive, and dozens of grandchildren, most of whom came here to attend the wedding.

Meganella, the illegitimate daughter of King Richard VII of Victory, also attended the banquet with her daughter Jacqueline the Chameleon.

While enjoying the delicious food, the mother and daughter discussed through telepathy when their cursed brother/uncle Louis XI would die so that their nephew/cousin could take over.

Suddenly, Jacqueline, who had long been transformed by Byron into a Night Demon, shrugged her white jade-like nose and suddenly widened her eyes:

"Mom, something's wrong, there's a strong smell of blood outside!"
