Chapter 105 Can You Dance with Me? (1/2)
Octavia Shelley floated in the air with elegance and charm. The whole world was dark in an instant, and only she attracted the light of the whole world.
A huge bright blood diamond was hanging on her chest necklace, which only made her snow-white skin smooth and her heart domineering, but it was surprisingly gathered at the waist.
The graceful curves seemed to contain infinite mysteries, which made people want to explore them throughout their lives.
The slender legs were constructed by the over-the-knee socks and the slits of the cheongsam, but they were covered by the hanging veil.
As she walked from the air to the ground step by step, her swaying figure became a dazzling grace that countless people could not forget many years later.
The queen was already brilliant and unparalleled, but tonight she was more unbridled and more self-centered.
Most people saw her for the first time, having comprehended the Way of Extreme Self. She was wearing a gorgeous dress and hair style that transcended the times, should only exist in fantasy, and could only be realized with the help of magic. Behind her was the venue filled with fireworks and elegant music, and under her were nobles holding their breath and being silent.
When those majestic phoenix eyes swept over, everyone understood what it meant to be the most beautiful woman in the world, and what it meant to suppress the great empire and the surrounding alien races with one person.
"Your Majesty!"
All the male nobles knelt on one knee, and the female nobles bowed and saluted, waiting for the Queen of Eternal Night to arrive at the venue!
[It's over, there really is a cheongsam, and my mother will ask me why I kneel to see the queen in the future...]
Hearing this familiar complaint, the Queen of Eternal Night couldn't help but smile proudly.
Ever since that kid practiced the visualization of the thorns of the mind, he could hear the voice of the heart in high definition and lossless across the crowd.
And this voice of the heart, admiration and shock fly together, admiration and yearning for the same color.
It seems that my charm has made someone kneel down in amazement, right?
Xiao Ao felt that he had grasped the correct direction of attack.
Anyway, there are still a lot of clothes that I copied before, so I will change them slowly and see how long this guy can endure?
"My dear ministers, please stand up. Tonight is a night of indulgence and enjoyment. There are not too many rules."
The Queen of Eternal Night raised her hand gently, and a glass of champagne appeared in her hand at the same time. She smiled and raised it.
The music of the royal orchestra became more and more passionate. The nobles picked up the wine glasses at hand and clinked them with the Queen of Eternal Night from a distance.
The fireworks in the sky cleared, and the magic projection of the Queen of Eternal Night appeared, overlooking the entire Mysterious City, and synchronized with her voice in the venue:
"I will drink with you, and wish Qingteng eternal life!"
The Queen of Eternal Night drank the champagne in one gulp.
Inside the venue, the nobles drank together and said in unison: "May Qingteng live forever!"
Outside the venue, countless excited citizens drank together and said sincerely: "May Qingteng live forever!"
Many people from the lower classes, who received subsidies from the empire, drank and ate meat for the first time tonight.
On weekdays, their main food is black bread that is hard enough to be used as weapons.
So compared to the nobles' repetition of the occasion, the blessings of these ordinary people are much more sincere.
Although the projection of the Queen of Eternal Night only lasted for this short sentence this time, and then continued the grand fireworks viewing, the citizens were happy enough.
They gathered in groups of three or five, or came to a special venue, and also celebrated this triumph and the prosperity of the empire in their own way and at their own dances!
The Queen of Eternal Night could vaguely sense the happiness that filled the city through the magic circle arranged throughout the city, and her interest could not help but rise.
After all, she loved this land deeply.
It was too easy to make the nobles rich, but she had to work hard to make ordinary people share the benefits of the empire's rise.
She put down her wine glass and laughed wantonly, "Tonight, I will dance with you!"
With one sentence, all the nobles in the audience were excited.
Margaret screamed directly, regardless of the Prime Minister's demeanor, just go ahead!
After the Queen of Eternal Night ascended the throne, no parents could control her, so she never attended any balls again.
The beautiful dance of the little princess Octavia also became a masterpiece.
This time she attended the ball, and the opening dance should be the Queen.
But the Queen is synonymous with willfulness. If she doesn't dance, no one can force her to dance, right?
So everyone was very happy that she could come, and she had to come back to Aodu to participate in the event from afar. Everything else depends on fate...
As a result, now the Queen of Eternal Night directly said that she wanted to dance, and everyone was excited!
Even if the dance is not good, His Majesty is doing it for the sake of triumph and joy, and it is also an affirmation of everyone's hard work.
In the hearts of most imperial people, His Majesty's prestige and popularity are always different.
Her words and deeds, a little recognition, can make many people happy and unable to sleep at night.
The Queen of Eternal Night swept her eyes across the audience again, and the young male nobles present suddenly blushed and subconsciously took a half step forward.
If His Majesty wants to dance, he must need a partner!
Although it is impossible for me, what if it is?
The Queen of Eternal Night's eyes skipped those male animals who were eager to try and looked at someone who was stealing cheese rolls.
Roger was not interested in dancing, nor in dancing with the Queen.
He just wanted to get rid of the curse and go back to sleep.
So he started to eat after the toast, and suddenly felt the temperature around him drop sharply.
[No, why are you all looking at me? Your Majesty, why are you looking at me too? 】
【It's not what I thought...】
Roger realized that the Queen of Eternal Night's inexplicable afternoon tea that day was probably premeditated?
"I miss the tacit cooperation between you and my dear Roger outside Sleina City. Can you dance with me again today?"
The lazy and seductive voice of the Queen of Eternal Night sounded, and at the same time, a jade hand reached out to Roger.
That hand was like a devil holding a feather, tickling people's hearts, and even in the face of danger, they had the urge to agree.
The nobles present stared at the hand, and many of them looked at Roger with murderous eyes.
The Queen took the initiative to invite a dance partner, what an honor? What a favor?
Even the nobles who were particular about the mansion couldn't help but discuss it:
"Why is it this useless brother? I can't accept it!"
"Except for not being as handsome as him, where am I inferior to him?"
"Your Majesty chose this useless brother, because he thinks there is no one in my imperial capital?"
"The Charles family is really too favored..."
"He rejected me, just waiting to dance with Your Majesty?"
Roger raised his head and looked at the Queen of Eternal Night who was dressed up tonight, his eyes moved down to the hand, feeling the gaze behind him that seemed to be pierced by thousands of arrows, and suddenly he had a little rebellious thought:
[You don't want me to dance with Your Majesty, and I don't want Your Majesty to dance with any of you pigs! 】
【Isn't it just a dance? How dare you mess with me in the palace? 】
"It's my honor." Roger bowed and his body was led by an invisible hand to the side of the Queen of Eternal Night.
Roger took the Queen's hand and kissed it lightly.
The corners of the Queen of Eternal Night's mouth were raised more and more, with the pleasure of an old hunter seeing his prey fall into a trap.
Humph, can the person I want run away?
She believed that in such a situation, no man would refuse her invitation.
Possessiveness is their instinct, and competing with each other is also their impulse.
Roger's character is cautious and he will suppress these thoughts, but it does not mean that he will not have them.
We are one step closer to being confessed!
Dancing can continue to cultivate our tacit understanding!
The Queen of Eternal Night snapped her fingers and ordered the Royal Orchestra to change the dance music, and at the same time, the dance floor was raised in the venue.
At this time, several nobles suddenly walked out of the crowd and stood in front of the dance floor where the lights were the most dazzling.
One of the marquises said loudly: "Your Majesty, I think Roger Charles has a mean character and is not worthy of being your partner for the opening dance!"
A duke next to him also said immediately: "I also think Roger lied about his strength and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
"If we don't punish such a reckless person, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the people of the empire!" Another person asked loudly.
Someone took the lead, and more nobles who were unhappy with Roger came out to ask: "We also think so. Roger Charles has a big problem. Please investigate his crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Nearly a hundred people stood up in an instant, from dukes to viscounts, which was enough for one-fifth of the nobles in the empire.
The unanimous statement was that Roger Charles committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Your Majesty, please investigate and punish him thoroughly, so that everyone can give an explanation.
Cornilia was completely shocked.
The development in front of her was completely beyond her expectations. She thought that after the news was announced, someone would challenge Roger privately, or find a way to confirm it like herself.
Who would have thought that Rogera would be so hateful that she would become the Queen's dance partner, and that the nobles would openly settle the matter at the celebration.
If Roger was injured in private, that matter would be easy to solve.
But now openly questioning the dance partner chosen by the Queen of Eternal Night, this matter has become a big deal!
Uncles and uncles, are you trying to purge the court or rebel openly?
If her father, Duke Nancanton, was not among the people who requested sanctions on Roger, she would have wanted to slip away...
MD, I know that tasks involving soul contracts are not so easy to complete, I'm screwed!
Cornelia regretted it at this moment, a thousand regrets...
But there is no regret medicine in the world. She threw the stone in the middle of the lake, and she had to bear the butterfly effect caused by it!
The nobles who did not come forward to ask for orders were no longer interested in dancing and drinking, and watched this scene excitedly.
So many people targeted a young noble at the same time, and even forced the Queen to withdraw her order. This is an unprecedented scene since the establishment of the empire?
What virtue and ability did Roger Charles have that made many nobles who were usually hostile to each other also work together to deal with him?
"Hey, your brother is going to be in trouble!" Margaret poked Angelina with a strange look on her face.
"No, I believe in your majesty." Angelina had been nervous and worried, but after saying this, she suddenly relaxed.
It was your majesty's arrangement to exaggerate Roger's strength, and she would never shirk the consequences caused by it.
Are these nobles really targeting her brother for the empire with their high-sounding words? Are they really seeking justice for your majesty?
Angelina's eyes swept across the faces of the nobles who asked for orders one by one, and she made a list in her mind.
I feel that the empire has grown, and the purity of this team has serious problems. It's time to rectify it.
Margaret tilted her head and thought for a moment, a fang flashed coldly at the corner of her mouth: "It seems so, although it is against your brother, these old bastards are actually cutting your Majesty's face!"
Margaret looked at the Queen of Eternal Night, waiting for the order from your Majesty, she immediately summoned the guards and put all these old bastards in jail!
The Queen of Eternal Night was still smiling at this moment, but there was no warmth in her eyes, and the cold wind of Antarctica was blowing in her icy blue eyes.
Seeing the crowd blocking the dance floor and asking for her orders, the mysterious smile on her face became even stronger.
A beautiful night, a beautiful atmosphere, why are there such blind things that get in the way?
I just wanted to do a simple dance, but someone got mad at me. Do you really think I'm just a doll you can mess with?
Roger felt a little nervous at the venue and wanted to explain the situation outside Slena City and calm the nobles.
But the Queen of Eternal Night held his hand and didn't let him break free.
"Be patient. My dog is not well-fed and jumped out to bite people. I will solve it myself."
She explained to Roger in a normal voice, but the content made the noble who came out to ask for mercy change his face.
So he is a human and we are all dogs, right?
Duke Nancanton shouted, "Your Majesty, are you polite?"
"Do you need to be polite to animals? What level of member are you in the Monster Protection Association? How much food do you donate to stray cats and dogs every year?"
The Queen of Eternal Night waved her sleeves, and said, "Since you asked Roger about his crime of deceiving the emperor, I will tell you mercifully that his strength was advertised by my order. So I am deceiving you. Now, do you want to punish me?"
The magic power on her body swept across the whole venue like a huge wave, and everyone felt a sense of breath suppression.
The group of nobles who asked for orders first, although many of them were not bad in strength, and there were also many legendary wizards, were not good enough to face the current Queen of Eternal Night.
Everyone had a splitting headache, their bodies shook like a candle in the wind, and their faces turned pale in an instant.
The heart that was obscured by greed suddenly became clear, and they remembered the terrible strength of the Queen of Eternal Night.
She was able to stand at the top of the human race because she fought bloody battles one after another, not because she was a traditional emperor who played the game of nobility and exchanged interests to maintain the situation.
But now that they had spoken, there was no reason for these people to retreat.
Today's scene was ostensibly to vent dissatisfaction with Roger, but in essence, it was a scene that would inevitably erupt as the imperial power of the empire was centralized, which aroused the vigilance of the nobles.
The rights of the parliament were restricted, civilian officials entered the cabinet, the army expanded, and the personal worship of the queen became increasingly high, all of which made the nobles feel uneasy.
Mo Kela and state-owned farms, etc., seriously damaged the interests of traditional land nobles, which made them feel directly painful.
The core of feudal society is to "enfeoff" ministers and let them "establish" their own small countries.
This is the foundation of aristocratic society, a pattern that has not changed in tens of thousands of years in this world.
In the past, there was a conflict between theocracy and military power, and the nobles had to unite closely around the king, otherwise the country would be transformed into a religious country and everyone's life would be even more difficult.
Now that the Qingteng Empire has no church, the Queen of Eternal Night wants to practice the way of extreme self and build her ideal empire. The conflict between her and the aristocracy has suddenly become clear and sharp.
She hoped that the whole country would be under her control.
The nobles wanted to make an agreement like the Magna Carta of Yingguo to limit the expansion of imperial power and guarantee their own rights.
However, the nobles did not expect that Roger would become a fuse at the triumphal celebration and directly ignite the conflict between the two sides.
They did not expect that the attitude of the Queen of Eternal Night was so tough. There was no little queen who would panic if they were forced casually. They only saw a peerless empress who treated them like chickens and pottery dogs.
The Duke of Nancanton endured the headache and exchanged glances with several close allies. He was elected as a representative to speak: "I dare not speak of your Majesty's crimes, but Roger Charles is indeed unworthy of his position. Please expel him from the Mysterious City!"
"Unworthy of his position?" The Queen of Eternal Night seemed to have heard something very funny. She laughed and fell backwards. She tapped the heads of the nobles who were hoarding grain with the Duke of Nancanton, "You, one by one, are you virtuous?"
