Chapter 114: State banquet, stamped to declare sovereignty
At seven o'clock in the evening, there was no moon, and dark clouds covered the sky.
The night was dark and deep, with light rain pattering, and the chill of early spring lingering in the air. A silver luxury four-wheeled carriage set off from the temporary residence of Archduke Connaught and drove towards the northern suburbs.
In the spacious carriage, the magic crystal lamp was shining brightly. Ren was leaning on the seat lazily, holding a fair-skinned beauty in his arms.
Irene was wearing a sleeveless white evening dress, showing nobility and elegance. A string of necklaces hung around her swan-white neck, and crystal-clear gems were dotted in the center of her plump breasts, which was extremely alluring.
At this time, a big hand unscrupulously lifted the skirt of the dress, caressing her long white legs and moved them up.
Erin's face was slightly red, and she sat on the man's lap, letting him take advantage of her.
"This is the Red Dragon Castle? The place where the conquerors started."
Ren hugged the beauty, smelled the fragrance of her hair, and glanced out the car window.
"Well, here we are."
Irene grabbed his hand, took it away, stood up, and stretched out her hand to smooth the wrinkles on her evening gown.
Outside the car window, the castle built on the mountain looks majestic under the illumination of magic lamps. The towering red stone wall is indestructible, the huge brass door has withstood the wind and rain, and is full of ancient charm. The seven-story staircase holds the splendid palace.
atmosphere.
This is the "Red Dragon Castle", the most proud building of the Faroran Kingdom and the former residence of the conqueror.
Due to the relocation of the capital, this place has been basically abandoned. Although people have been maintaining and taking care of it, the situation is similar to that of historical sites and historical museums that have not been open for many years.
Fortunately, people from the Clement family occasionally come to the south for vacation and stay here for a few days, so this castle has not lost its function as a residence, and at least hosting a banquet is not a problem.
Today, the Red Dragon Castle, which seemed to have been forgotten in the corner by the Farolan people, is extremely lively, bustling with people, and gathering of heroes.
A long red carpet was rolled out from the door, and two teams of well-equipped royal knights were guarding the door, holding swords in their hands and looking serious.
Anyone who approaches must show an invitation letter, otherwise they will be driven away or even detained.
But this severe inspection did not affect the atmosphere tonight.
It was still early, and guests were arriving in droves. Most of the aristocratic gentlemen were dressed in tuxedos, top hats and ties, and were dressed meticulously.
The ladies wearing all kinds of beautiful evening gowns formed a beautiful scenery, full of jewels and beauties.
"Your Highness Renne, the eldest princess, are here."
The knight in charge of driving dismounted, stood to one side, opened the curtain, and said respectfully.
Ren got off the carriage first, and like a polite gentleman, he took Irene's hand and helped her down.
The two walked side by side to the banquet hall. As soon as the knights standing outside the door saw their appearance clearly, they immediately stepped aside without questioning them.
"Don't you have to check the invitation?"
Renn shook the red-covered invitation in his hand.
"Your Highness, you are joking."
The captain of the knight guard was a middle-aged man. When he saw the two of them, he put on a warm smile and said respectfully, "You are a hero of the kingdom and a hero of the whole continent. Who doesn't recognize you now?"
Don't hesitate to give me a slap in the face.
There is no need to say more about the influence of the Warlord in Faroland. He has now become a symbol of the country's image and honor, and the pride of the people of Faroland.
"Good evening, Your Royal Highness the Princess!"
The other guards also immediately gave Eileen a knight's salute, with a very respectful attitude.
The Queen of the Night protected Wisteria City from infringement under the prying eyes of the demon giant Yao Gui Emperor. She also became famous and powerful in the Central Territory.
If it weren't for the abnormal strength shown by the war leader and the brilliant achievements in the national war, she might have become more famous.
Ren smiled slightly, held Eileen's white and tender hand tightly, intertwined their fingers, pulled her stiff body, and walked grandly into the castle banquet hall.
The combination of the Lord of War + the Queen of the Night is so eye-catching, like a blazing torch at night. As soon as it appears, the splendid banquet hall becomes silent and silent.
The eyes of everyone around him were immediately attracted.
With all the attention being paid to her, Irene's face turned red and hot, and she tried to pull her hand away, but he held on tightly and failed.
The surprised looks from the people around her made her shy, she lowered her head and said tremblingly:
"Ren, we are not a legal couple. We cannot do this in public."
In formal social occasions in this world, usually only legal couples can interlock with each other. If they are brother and sister, or father and daughter, they can hold hands.
Ren's move was slightly rude and domineering, almost announcing in front of everyone that Irene was his woman, his wife, and he possessed her as her husband.
As a result, Irene won't even be able to get married in the future.
Anyone who wants to marry her or dares to take advantage of her is tantamount to becoming Lei's enemy.
"Isn't this... Grand Duke Conor's wife Princess Kesha? Why is he holding hands with the eldest princess like this?"
"Stupid, just declare your sovereignty."
"But in this case, can the eldest princess still get married in the future?"
The guests had strange eyes and whispered, and many people cast their eyes on Charlemagne in the center of the banquet hall.
Charlemagne was chatting with kings and monarchs from dozens of countries. When he saw this scene, his face turned livid and he became furious.
How could it be unreasonable that he would harm his daughter, but he would still want to hold her captive for the rest of her life?
Almost no old father would tolerate this kind of thing.
With Charlemagne's character, it was even more impossible to endure it. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot, he stopped communicating, and strode towards Ren, his fists slowly clenched, making a crunching sound.
The father-in-law is planning to get his son-in-law.
Fight even if you can’t beat him!
'Gan, are you serious?'
Renn didn't expect his father-in-law's reaction to be so intense. His heart skipped a beat and he panicked a little.
If you do something in this situation, no matter whether you can win or not, your reputation will be ruined. Taking someone else's daughter and beating someone else is a complete scumbag behavior...
Seeing that her father was coming over to compete with her boyfriend Huang Cheng, Irene was a little panicked and at a loss.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! She is just shy personally, but actually has no dissatisfaction. She has decided to commit her life to Ren, and it is a good thing that he can express his attitude early.
He is a playboy, but he is still a good enough person.
She would rather be a heroic concubine than a mediocre wife. With her character, she would never commit herself to a man inferior to her, and Ren, who can suppress her, meets the conditions and is a good choice.
As for that kind of excellent and dedicated man...
Sorry, she really can't find that kind of wonderful man. She searched all over Saigon and couldn't find him.
But her father didn't think so.
Charlemagne felt that his daughter was good enough and could marry any man she wanted. It was okay to fool around with the military leader for a while, but it was not worth it to have to live in subjugation for a lifetime.
Seeing that the situation is about to become unmanageable.
At this time, Helen on the left side of the banquet hall suddenly spoke up.
"Ahem! Marshal Charles (Charlemagne has abdicated and currently holds the position of marshal of the kingdom), come here, we have important matters to discuss."
Charlemagne hesitated, turned his gaze, glanced at Helen, and then saw the familiar figure behind Helen.
Lucy was wearing a simple and elegant white dress. Her silver hair shone softly in the light, her facial features were so beautiful that they were almost dreamlike, and her skin was as white as snow, just like a moon goddess.
However, her expression was too cold, showing an indifference that would make people thousands of miles away.
Lucy:(●—●)
Charlemagne: "..."
(˙灬˙)
An unspeakable silence.
Charlemagne paused in his steps, and the cold-knife gaze of his old lover behind him seemed to pierce his bones, making his body stiff.
'That's almost it. How are you better than him? We were all planning to get engaged. Did it affect you in dating those wild women outside?'
The singer's words full of resentment plucked the invisible strings that almost blended with the void, and the sound clearly reached the man's ears.
"..."
Charlemagne had a gloomy expression on his face, gave Lei a hard look, and turned to leave.
It's such a pity that there was no fight... Many people who watched the excitement and didn't take it too seriously felt very regretful.
Ren heaved a sigh of relief and glanced at his mother-in-law and aunt gratefully, only to receive two pairs of blank eyes.
'Little guy, just have some fun, you are so carefree and carefree, or you will die on a woman's belly one day.'
Aunt Lucy's words came directly into Ren's mind, carrying a warning.
However, Ren didn't change his mind. Seeing his father-in-law retreating, he became even bolder and actually hugged Irene's waist from behind in full view of everyone.
Ignoring the blushing beauty who was struggling slightly, he took out an iridescent gemstone ring and put it on her right middle finger.
There was an uproar in the banquet hall.
"this……"
"Engagement? There is no ceremony. Isn't this against the rules?"
"It's too much. How can the eldest princess get married like this? She can only be his lover for the rest of her life."
The guests looked at each other, afraid of offending the boss, so they only dared to whisper.
But the commotion could not be concealed.
In Saigon mainland, a woman wears a ring on the middle finger of her right hand to indicate that she is married. The military commander putting a ring on Princess Irene in such a public place completely "ruined" her reputation and innocence.
I really can't get married this time.
Erin's face turned red and she realized that almost everyone was looking at her and the ring on her right middle finger. She was so ashamed that she wanted to flee the scene.
The little villain was so presumptuous that he turned her directly into a married woman.
Ren refused to let her go. He took Irene's hand and walked to the center of the banquet hall majestically.
"Tsk, tsk, now the daughter of the night is trapped."
The old patriarch of Gulba touched his chin, not taking it too seriously to watch the excitement, and said with a smile, "Look, the expressions of the Clement family are very wonderful, as if they have been robbed of their treasure by robbers."
"Old Patriarch, please stop making sarcastic remarks." The Calamity Sword Master looked at the gloomy Emperor Charlemagne and shook his head.
Captain Richard and Archbishop Timo looked at each other, frowning slightly.
The War Lord is really uninhibited and daring. He married the Valkyrie Kesa, and there are rumors about the Nightmare Witch. He has Countess Anna and the White Dragon Girl by his side. Not long ago, he harmed the saints of their church, and now he is openly occupying them.
The daughter of the night...
He almost killed all the good women in one fell swoop.
The Clement family is the most embarrassing.
Emperor Charles the Great, the current King Charles VI, Queen Katie, all the princes and princesses, as well as several ancestors of the Clement family, basically all looked unhappy at this moment.
If the soldier is unmarried and boldly expresses his love to Eileen at this time, it will definitely be a beautiful story.
But since he is married, that would be a bit embarrassing.
The witch Josephina stood in the corner of the banquet hall, watching this scene with mixed emotions, and said:
"I don't know whether to envy or sympathize with Irene. She is bound to a married man and her innocence is completely ruined."
Anna shook the goblet filled with crimson wine liquid and said in a neutral tone:
"The little man is not only petty, but also extremely possessive. He found that Eileen was a little out of control, so he simply destroyed her innocence and escape route in public, leaving her to follow him all the way to the dark side."
"It's really overbearing."
The witch took a sip of red wine, her delicate red lips slightly raised, "I'm looking forward to Valkyrie's reaction now."
This incident had almost no impact on her and Anna. They had long been hidden by the military lord Jinwu and were destined to be his women for the rest of their lives.
However, the Valkyrie may have different feelings. She may feel threatened.
In the past, the witch didn't think that Princess Keisha was qualified to be compared with the Queen of the Night, and she couldn't raise an army to accuse her. But in the past few days, Anna has vaguely revealed that the Valkyrie has another origin and is a terrifying woman...
"Do you think the soldier wants to divorce his wife and marry another?" someone said in a low voice.
"It is possible that no matter how beautiful and outstanding the Valkyrie is, she is only a genius of the new generation and cannot be compared with the giant Night Girl."
"I used to think that the soldier master took advantage of him, but now I see that it is Princess Kesha who is not worthy of him. It is said that she is also very jealous."
Some people started to make assumptions.
Especially since the War Master has not been seen attending events with his wife recently, there has been no news about Valkyrie, and she did not even participate in the national war. Some people seriously doubted whether the War Master planned to abandon Princess Keisha and marry the Queen of the Night.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If this is the case, then Princess Kesha is too miserable...
The nobles of the Nokman Empire were a little surprised. For example, the Imperial Marshals Duke Starr, Marquis David, and Prince Rodrigo all frowned and remained silent.
Some people say that even if a big shot farts, the people below will think that the fart has profound meaning.
Ren's move was just to seal and declare his sovereignty, because he found that what he tied to Irene was not enough and he did not fully get her.
But everyone doesn't think so. Now many people have begun to speculate on some conspiracy theories.
For example, could it be that the Queen of the Night wanted to push Valkyrie out of the throne, so she deliberately staged this drama? Or maybe the Clement family was unwilling to lose their talents and tried to steal food from the Feuerbach family.
Or maybe, after the Clement family won the national war, their ambitions began to expand and they wanted to expand eastward, so they could use this incident to test the reaction of the Feuerbach family...
There are so many possibilities.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall became a little subtle, and even the eyes of the ladies and ladies changed.
The soldier leader is very carefree. If the Queen of the Night can take over, is it possible for them to hook up with the soldier leader?
Even if you can't be a wife, you can still be a mistress.
Some ambitious women have ambition burning in their eyes and are ready to take action.
Ren's strength was so strong at the moment, and his perception was so keen that he seemed to be able to detect the subtle changes in people's hearts. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and was speechless.
What are these people thinking blindly?
Died Valkyrie?
Give him a hundred courages, but he wouldn't dare to do it, it would kill someone.
He even reported what happened tonight to the Valkyrie and only dared to do it with her permission. For this reason, he was forced to sign several unequal treaties.
At this moment, Valkyrie asked him to kneel on the washboard, and he had to kneel without daring to complain.
This is the power the Blood Queen has over her husband.
"Ren, congratulations."
The old patriarch of Gurba smiled and came over to propose a toast.
"Congratulations."
"Awesome, really a role model for our generation."
The Calamity Sword Master, Speaker Daniel, Captain Richard, and even the unfamiliar Duke Savage all came over to toast the leader and send blessings, and some even smiled ambiguously.
At this moment, Ren seemed to have become a groom. After marrying Bai Fumei, he received blessings from everyone.
This made him a little dumbfounded.
This is nothing, even the kings are thinking about it.
Irene's face was red, like a little daughter-in-law, standing behind Ren, shy and happy, her mentality also changed subtly.
Transition from girlfriend to wife...
She thinks this is a different kind of "wedding", and from today on, she is his wife.
The shameless scumbag used some tricks and successfully captured the heart of a beautiful woman.
Renn became the focus of the banquet hall. This was normal. He did not wear a ring for Irene. As the strongest human being who killed General Doomsday and led Faloran to win the national war, he was also the protagonist of the state banquet.
It's just that it feels a little more festive now, like a wedding banquet.
The atmosphere was very lively. Everyone was complimenting the military leader and changing glasses. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door, as if a big shot was coming.
