Southeastern Channel Islands, capital Kingston, Ganquan Palace.

It is a huge complex of more than 600 halls.

The Georgian-style minaret-like roof, the beautiful portico carved from white marble, the columns and the annexes on either side are absolutely symmetrical.

Equipped with an orderly six-pair six-style glass pane, it is transparent and bright, and the lines are undulating and simple and orderly.

Although it is not too luxuriously decorated, it has a symmetrical beauty that will never go out of style, and it is also the embodiment of the order that is most admired by all human countries.

Neasing, elegant, dignified, and noble, this is how the world under the protection of the Silver Law should be.

In the Old World, it is rare to see such asymmetrical heretical architecture in churches and palaces.

At this moment, Ganquan Palace has already changed its owner.

Not only has the most conspicuous royal emblem long since changed from a red rose to a white rose, but even the varieties of roses planted in the garden have also been changed.

Strive to completely erase the traces of the old master from the smallest detail.

"Da Da Da"

And today luxury carriages carry their masters into the royal palace.

The palace doors were wide open, and for the first time, the newly decorated Sweet Springs Palace was used by the new King Edward IV to entertain the right-hand men and families of the York party.

The night in Kingston comes much later than in Iron Anchor Bay.

When the Strait Fleet took advantage of the darkness of night to attack, a grand banquet had just begun.

The table is filled with the delicacies of the Iris Kingdom and the Holy Silver Empire: beef stewed in red wine, Marseille fish soup, Caen tripe, baked snails, grilled quail

Desserts also include crème brûlée, ice cream balls, Lorraine quiches, and in short, none of the Hattings native dishes.

Obviously, on this day of festivities, no chef would come up with anything like that to annoy the guests.

The banquet hall filled with the aroma of food was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"Earl, I heard that your son is already a second-order [lawyer], right?"

"Yes, he is on a mission in the First Fleet of the Strait Fleet, and when he returns, he should be a senior judge in the King's Court of the High Court."

"My youngest daughter, Belinda, admires them as defenders of order the most, how about having a chance to let them meet young people"

Whether they are married or unmarried, through their elders or in person, many of the major aristocratic families in the banquet hall are doing the same thing.

Especially those aristocratic women who are showy, they have played with a fan alone.

Only by being in social places for a long time can you understand their secret language.

If a lady takes a fan and slowly fans it in her chest, it means that I don't have a sweetheart yet, and you hurry up to chase me.

If she closes the fan and puts it on the tip of her nose, it means that I am very unhappy that you have just eye-to-eyed with other women, and you should be careful for me.

Open and close the fan, and then point to the garden, which means dear, you go and wait for me first, and then I will go to you in a while, and then we

Full of lust.

It's time to enjoy the fruits of victory, and if we can't do whatever we want, haven't I rebelled in vain?

It is conceivable that marriages within the York Party will be very frequent in the coming period.

As it gets late.

The "Hymn Fantasia" that praises the Creator, the "March of the Kingship" that exalts the power of the monarch, and the "March of the Majesty" that exalts the power of the Lord.

The large organ flows one classic after another in the hands of a third-order [musician] of the temple sequence, and countless notes form a beautiful picture.

The atmosphere of the banquet was completely pushed to a climax.

Led by the waiter, all the guests came to the side of the banquet hall with their glasses, in front of a white wall.

As a servant activates the mechanism, an entire wall slowly disappears into the wainscoting within the wall.

King Edward IV, dressed in a straight dress and full of majesty, appeared in front of the guests with his core members of the royal family.

The nobles were all filled with emotion at this ceremonial scene.

In the past, only Henry VI and his wife, the prince, his brother Prince of Sorenberg, and a handful of Lancasters appeared in this way.

If it hadn't been an accident, he would have made a grand appearance in this form at Byron's coming-of-age ceremony.

But now it seems that the era of Lancaster has really come to an end.

Immediately, the banquet hall burst into loud applause and cheers.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"The Creator favors York!"

The law is rooted in the collective consciousness of mankind and is essentially the human heart.

When people's hearts are turned against each other, and everyone believes that a king is destined to be invincible, then he is most likely to be.

The hearts of the Yorkist Party are unprecedentedly cohesive at this moment, and even the [Iron Law of Kingship] is visibly stronger.

Several princes and princesses were still young, and under the guidance of the queen, they quickly went to the side hall to rest.

Edward IV, his brother George, and Richard, the three core heirs of the York family, became the core of the whole banquet.

Even the new Archbishop of Canterbury, sent by the Church, took the initiative to speak with them.

"Guardians of the Three Illusions, the Lord is always watching over you.

Your Majesty, the Lord has crowned you for your virtue and perseverance, and hast led the people of Hattings to bathe in the grace of the Lord. ”

Edward IV did not dare to snub the highest-ranking priest in the kingdom, and humbly bowed his head:

"Thank you, Your Excellency the Archbishop.

I promise you that I will continue to support you in teaching believers, maintaining doctrinal purity, and eradicating all heresy!

Iron Anchor Bay, where I refuse to convert, is my gift to the Church.

This banquet is also a celebration feast, and you will soon receive news from the front. ”

"Then I'll see."

In public, the words of the two men, although superficial, undoubtedly proclaimed some kind of unknown insider trading.

This is also the reason why Redbeard found the attitude of the church somewhat intriguing after discovering that the York family had forbidden knowledge (chapter 54).

The other aristocrats were not surprised to see this harmonious picture, which was very different from that of the Lancastrian era.

Because before that final battle, the magical scene of the "Three Illusion Days" suddenly appeared in the sky above the York family.

Three parrages, that is, the appearance of three suns.

Edward claimed that the three suns in the sky were the best proof of the Creator's blessing on the House of York.

It represents not only the Trinity of the Creator in the Church, but also the three heirs of the House of York: Edward, George, and Richard.

This also meant that the usurpation of the House of York was strongly supported by the Church, or at least the Diocese of Heatins.

Now the York family naturally wants to repay the favor.

You must know that in the past, although the royal family of Darks converted to the Creator, as an outlying island of the Old World, the relationship with the church has always been tense.

The Priesthood Mandate Act was enacted, which provided that the election of bishops and other priests in the country was free from pope interference.

Later, legislation was enacted to prohibit the "unauthorized exercise of religious judicial power", to prohibit nationals from appealing outside the country, and to deprive offenders of their citizenship

In the generation of Henry VI, the Lancaster family was equally cold towards the church.

It's just slightly better than the diehards in Iron Anchor Bay.

Even the House of York had reliable information that Lancaster was secretly supporting a new schismatic faction in the church with the intention of strengthening the royal power.

Obviously, who can be a monolithic of the royal family, the ethnic community, and the supreme church? Where there are people, there is struggle.

In particular, the vast opportunities provided by the Age of Discovery allowed these contradictions to erupt in a concentrated manner.

But from now on, there will only be one voice in Hattings!

The Yorkist aristocracy celebrated the support of the Church.

With the recognition of such powerful forces, which are still above the royal families of various countries, the situation of their new ruling group will be much better.

Everything is moving in a good direction.

Nearby, hear the conversation between the king and the archbishop about the pirate Harbour Anchor Bay.

A big nobleman toasted the bejeweled noble lady beside him:

"Marquise, you are particularly glorious today.

His Excellency Norwich may be absent from his mission, but even if we are thousands of miles away, we are with him. ”

Whether she was glamorous or not was not certain, but her husband, Norwich York, was Edward IV's youngest uncle.

After York's successful promotion from a great nobleman to a royal family, it is not impossible for him to return with a big victory this time, and he will be crowned a duke.

The Marquise may not be beautiful, but the halo above her head is really beautiful.

"Thank you, Count.

His Majesty's battle flag points to the fact that the House of York will be invincible.

I am sure that my husband and son will soon add their own luster to the honor of the White Rose. ”

"Of course, I've always believed that."

The two vested interests in the upper echelons of the York family smiled at each other and raised their glasses with the others.

"To our Majesty."

"Victory belongs to the kingdom!"

Edward IV also smiled and raised the red wine in his hand:

"To our warriors on the front line, victory also belongs to all of you."

Before he could finish speaking, a herald on a fast horse galloped towards him.

"Haha, our military report is here. Quick, tell all of the York's closest friends, gentlemen, and ladies about the results of the battle on the front! ”

Richard, the youngest of the three brothers, was in the dark, and apparently had never imagined that there would be other possibilities, and immediately gave the order.

The heralds, led by the attendants, delivered an urgent message from the Admiralty to the king.

Glancing at the expectant expressions of the three brothers and the guests, he hesitated for a moment before whispering in a difficult tone a bad news that could not be concealed at all:

"Report to Your Majesty, the First Fleet of the Strait Fleet, which is on a mission in Iron Anchor Bay, has sent an urgent military information.

Just now, the secret weapon codenamed 'Natural Disaster' unexpectedly went out of control, and all the main warships above the third level in the fleet were wiped out.

Only a few cruisers were lucky enough to land on the Eternal Night Peninsula.

Eyewitnesses confirmed that from the commander of the fleet, Admiral Norwich York, to the ship's nearly twenty [lawyers] were also killed.

And they all said that they had heard it with their own ears, and this was the judgment of the [Wild Hunt] in the legend of the Bay People! ”

Hearing this bad news, even if Edward IV had seen countless winds and waves, and experienced more than one failure, his throat couldn't help but feel a little sweet.

The body shook, so that he could not hang on the spot and fell down.

"The fleet is destroyed, and all the men are killed?!!"

Old Norwich's noblewoman, who had just hoped that her husband would go one step further and make herself a duchess, fainted directly in front of her eyes.

And she was far from the only one who fainted on the spot.

Most of the guests here don't know what the secret weapon codenamed "Scourge" is.

But I know that the [lawyer] that I have cultivated with great difficulty at home is also on the ship!

All of them were buried in Iron Anchor Bay with the Strait Fleet.

"It's gone, it's all gone!"

"No, that's not true."

More than a dozen [lawyers] who are only qualified to be cultivated by great aristocratic families naturally correspond to more than a dozen large families.

None of them fell in this banquet.

And immediately after the heralds, the servants of the various families also hurried into the palace to deliver the news that the life gems of the family members were shattered.

There is no luck in their hearts, and they don't know how many have fainted in an instant.

"Quick, doctor, get the doctor here."

For most people, it's a joy and sorrow, falling from heaven to hell all at once.

The first time Ganquan Palace opened, the wedding banquet turned into a funeral banquet.

Coincidentally, it seems to indicate something, and the flagship of the fleet is called the "King Edward".

A fiasco shattered the hearts of those who had just been unprecedentedly united.

Under the light, even the gilded royal coat of arms in the banquet hall seemed to dim a little.

And the news of the battle at Iron Anchor Bay did not only come to Edward IV.

More like the wind, it spread all over the North Sea coast in just a few days.

Some mourn and sorrow, and some weep with joy.

To the north of the Channel Islands, adjacent to the Earldom of Greenville, the Prince of Sorenberg, Byron's home.

In a manor house that was enclosed by the private army of the York family.

Catherine Greenville, the last member of the ancient family, pressed a weekly lighthouse newspaper about the battle of Anchor Bay on her towering chest.

The eye circles are slightly red, the nose is a little sour, and the mouth mutters:

"Stinky boy, you're really alive. I knew, I knew that a scourge like yours must not die so easily. ”

"Great, really good!"
