Chapter 529: Chapter 397: The Night Demon Prince’s Taste is Really Good! (Two in One 6000)

Kingston, Royal Capital of the Kingdom of Hightens, Ganquan Palace.

A crescent moon quietly climbed atop the branches, yet Edward IV had yet to repose.

Instead, he sat in the garden, embracing a noble lady attired in a pale yellow gossamer gown with a crown atop her head; together they admired the resplendent night sky overhead.

"Look, Elizabeth, there’s the North Star and the Big Dipper, the navigational aids for sailors at night.

The equity shares granted to me by the Torrent Castle Baron include a segment pertaining to the traffic hub on the north side of the ’Celestial Orbital Belt,’ the Great Bear Archipelago.

When the time comes, and we tour the colonies, shall I take you there to see it?"

The lady in his embrace boasted dazzling golden locks, skin as white as snow, and lips redder and more alluring than rose petals, especially her pair of emerald eyes, as deep as a dragon’s and exceptionally captivating.

Anyone who beheld her stunning beauty would subconsciously hold their breath, so as not to offend this peerless beauty.

And this woman was none other than Edward IV’s queen, Elizabeth Woodville, the First Beauty of the Channel Islands.

Certified by the authority of the Silver Law, she was undeniably the first!

However, this absolutely stunning queen appeared slender and delicate, like a maiden, yet her abdomen was prominently swollen, clearly in the latter stages of pregnancy.

Feeling her husband explaining this to her while caressing her full thigh with a hot, large hand, the ravishing and enchanting queen giggled like a young girl,

"Your Majesty, not now. If you wait just one more month, I shall be yours. For the sake of the child’s health, please endure a bit longer."

The King’s face turned sheepish, and he retracted his wandering hand.

It was no wonder Edward IV was impatient, given that his queen spent most of the year in this condition.

Ever since their marriage, the frequency of childbirths had been roughly one per year.

Evidently, the King, who appeared sagacious and valorous before others, never thought of giving his ravishing queen a moment’s rest.

Queen Elizabeth was either pregnant and awaiting childbirth or on the path to conception, showing Edward IV’s profound infatuation with the former widow, who was also the First Beauty of the Channel Islands.

Even during his wife’s pregnancy, he wouldn’t seek out other lovers for relief, testifying to his faithfulness.

To this day, Elizabeth, apart from having borne two sons for her previous husband, had given birth to seven children for Edward IV, with the eighth child in her womb.

And they firmly believed that their eldest son would one day become the most noble Edward V of the Kingdom of Hightens!

"Haha, the Queen is right; the child is most important."

Worried he might lose control, Edward IV gently lifted his queen and placed her onto a chaise longue beside him, considerately propping a cushion behind her back.

His gaze, however, remained fixed upon the beauty, as if he could never have enough of her.

Not until a point of golden light emerged from the all-encompassing [Royal Iron Rule - Great Charter] covering the entire kingdom and rapidly coalesced into an urgent battle report before him did he finally snap out of his reverie.

Is this news from the New Continent?

Eagerly opening it, he discovered it to be dispatches of victory sent separately by Byron and other intelligence agents of the Kingdom; his spirit instantly lifted.

Though Edward was only of the Fourth Order, his [King’s Title] was provisionally granted by law, yet he lacked none of the ambitions of a Fifth-order Legend: beauty, power, and wealth!

Because the Kingdom’s Law Network didn’t cover the Southern Continent, immediate communication was impossible; for the time being, messages had to be relayed through the Bantaan Archipelago.

Moreover, the news was so startling that the intelligence system had even rechecked the facts before reporting them to him today.

Edward IV read the report several times over, rapidly flushing with excitement, and rather incoherently proclaimed to his queen,

"It’s wonderful! It’s wonderful! The ’King Edward,’ devoured by the ’Touch of the Kraken,’ has unbelievably been retrieved by the Torrent Castle Baron.

Having grown into a potent quasi-legendary Ghost Battleship amidst the horrific slaughter at the Old God’s Estate, in the limelight, it united with the Phantom Fleet to destroy the ’Blue Dragon King’ and completely eradicate the remnants of the Lancaster Family from this world, thereby eliminating a Heartfelt Trouble for our York Family.

Moreover, it shone in the first colonial war against the Heretical Cult, contributing to the ultimate victory.

Thanks to this, and the unparalleled great achievements of the Torrent Castle Baron, we have smoothly taken over the largest island, Number One Island, in the Whaling Field’s Centaur Archipelago.

Our Kingdom of Hightens is destined to lead the entire era in the upcoming Whale Oil power revolution.

Truly, God favors our York Family!

Ah, and it’s not just divine favor. Ever since the Torrent Castle Baron became a member of the York Party, everything related to him has been improving.

It’s reported he was the catalyst for the ’Descent of the Holy Spirit’ miracle, which defeated an Old God.

Lord Tudor is indeed my lucky star! Hahaha..."

Edward IV fancied himself favored by the ’Tri-Phantom Sun’ miracle, a blessing from the Creator, but in truth, he knew better than anyone how much of that was mere embellishment.

Without the embellishments, nothing would remain.

The York Family had simply renounced the dignity of worldly kings, throwing in their lot with a Saint from the Traditional Faction.

They were willing to serve as a blade in another’s hand to eliminate Bayfolk Dissenters—or, to put it more harshly, they were nothing more than a hound.
