Chapter 718: Game of Thrones Medium
Edward was disgusted by Gaspar. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info Although the other party is wearing a mask, Edward's eyes can tell his character at a glance. His Excellency the Grand Duke had clearly been resentful that the throne had been occupied by his cousin, and a vast desire for power dominated his heart like a thick black mist.
But even so, Edward did not directly manifest himself from his face, he was led by Gaspar into the banquet hall of the palace, and entered the central dance floor with him, slowly walking towards Queen Selene standing at the head of the dance floor.
Selene wore a blue low-cut gown with a golden lion head on her back and a half-face mask on her slightly pale face.
Her head was always raised upward, but the first time she saw Edward, she lowered her slightly, and her eyes were full of brilliance.
When Edward and Gaspar entered the dance floor, everyone around them stopped talking and looked at Edward in the audience with all kinds of eyes - as for the Grand Duke Gaspar who accompanied him, he had long been ignored.
Edward's appearance was meticulously groomed by Josephine and Vivien, and his shoulder-length supple black hair was held in a delicate wrist wheel-shaped headband that hung down behind his head, and his bangs were neatly parted on the sides. The lines of his slashed face were softer, and his slender eyebrows, piercing eyes, straight nose, and mouth with a slightly confident smile constituted an incomparably handsome and majestic face. This appearance, which is very different from the style of most people in this world, makes Edward exude a strange charm, and the noblewomen and even Queen Selene around him are heartbeating.
Edward's attire was also very distinctive. He wore a silver-white high-necked tight-fitting gown underneath, with burgundy Rivendell elven armor on the outside, and pieces of armor carved with ornate patterns were closely arranged diagonally upwards from the waist, meeting on the chest of the armor, forming an eye-like pattern of the Inquisition. The shoulder pads on either side of the armor did not look ornate or extend to the sides, but formed a faint dragon face against the shoulders, marking his status as a dragon knight. He wore a pair of armor boots on his feet, resembling the rows of scales on a dragon's neck and forming a not-so-obvious spike at the knee pads, and the right hand gauntlet was the same style as the boots, but on the left hand was a glove covered in magic patterns.
The most eye-catching thing is Edward's long cape. The cape and the shoulder pads of the ceremonial helmet are combined, but they are not the kind of capes that nobles use when they travel, and they are not symmetrical. The length of the cloak hung down to the ankle, encircling Edward's back from the left chest position and extending to the outside of the right shoulder pad, hiding Edward's left hand under the cape without affecting the swing of the sword in his right hand. The cloak is pure white, with delicate magical embroidery on all sides, and two inquisition ribbons hanging down from the chest and shoulder pads, making Edward's whole person look powerful, mysterious, and gorgeous.
In the same way, the roll call of the court ceremonial officer was a great shock to the people, and the long title could not be remembered by ordinary people if it were not for the written record: "Inquisitor Edward Lee." Redeemer of the Templars, Subduer of the Rebel Mages of Ferredon, Master of the Mighty Dragon, First Dragon Knight of Cedas, Herald of Andast, Giver of the Light......"
Even Edward himself deeply admired the court ceremonial officer, who summed up almost what Edward had done since his arrival to the present day, in a brief but factual title, and almost omitted a single thing! The other members of the jury, even Kassandra and Reliana, who were the Pope's right-hand men, had titles that were less than half as long as Edward's.
"Welcome to the Hermitage, Inquisitor. When Edward and Gaspar came to Selene, Her Majesty left her cousin and the lady beside her, and said eagerly, "Your arrival is like a cool breeze in summer, blowing through the whole court." ”
"Selene, my dear cousin, are you a little rude?" said Gaspar, a little dissatisfied, "Is it that your heart has been swept away by this cool breeze at this time?"
"Grand Duke, it is always a great honour for us to have you in our court. At this point, Edward could see the political gap between Gaspar and Selene, and even though Gaspar mocked her in public, Selene still returned the salute with an unchanging face instead of being sarcastic.
"Don't waste time with me, Selene. Gaspar said impatiently, "We still have something to talk about." ”
"Let's talk after we've met the other guests. Selene said perfunctorily, and after Gaspar returned the salute, she looked at Edward and said, "I'm sorry, Inquisitor, but your demeanor really attracted me, and I was a little rude." Allow me to introduce my cousin, the Grand Duchess of Rides, without whom this banquet would not have been possible. ”
"What an unexpected surprise, let me guess. The Duchess looked at Edward and said, "Inquisitor, your invitation must have been sent by Her Majesty the Empress herself?"
"Yes, I'm honored to do that. Edward had already noticed the duchess when he first saw her, "Your Excellency is really just a surprise?"
"We'll talk about that later. The corners of the duchess's mouth curled, but she did not answer Edward's question.
"No, we'll talk now, I'm interested in Mr. Edward's deeds. Selene waved her hand slightly, "Please come up to me, Inquisitor." ”
"Does this seem to be out of order?" said Frarian, the Duchess, with a slight frown.
"No, Mr. Edward is more than just an Inquisitor, my dear sister. "He is also the first dragon knight in history, and this title is more honorable than anyone else." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Edward smiled, "Are you interested in me?"
"All, yours. Selene's eyebrows raised, and she whispered without hesitation.
Edward was not the young man he had been, and he could not understand such provocative words, so he could only smile awkwardly and walk up the steps, while the Duchess left with amusement, leaving her sister alone with Edward.
As soon as Edward came up, Selene stood beside him, looking at Edward with unabashedness, looking at him with satisfaction.
"Your Majesty?" Edward reminded her by the fact that she looked a little hairy.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm rude again. Selene came back to her senses, chuckled, picked up a glass of red wine from the table and handed it to Edward, "I received a warning from the Jury that an Assassin was going to assassinate me?"
"That's right, a threat from Courifias. Edward and Selene clinked glasses and said, "We don't know who the assassin is, please allow our jury to investigate this matter." ”
"I don't think it's necessary, do I? "With you by my side, I don't believe the Assassins can succeed, but you are a powerful man who can tame dragons." ”
"You overestimate me, Your Majesty. "In fact, there is no comparison between taming a dragon and guarding against an assassin. No matter how powerful a warrior is, there are times when he relaxes. ”
"Hehe, my political sense of smell tells me that you are modest. Selene laughs, "I'm fascinated by your confidence that is always there." However, it would be good to clean up the court, and I would have my court mage advisors assist the judges. ”
