Finally, the eight o'clock chime rang, and the Royal Orchestra began to play.
Fireworks soared into the sky, illuminating it and forming intricate and magnificent patterns.
The Eternal Night Empress, in a black and goldcheongsam, teleported to the center of the venue, yet she was more beautiful and dazzling than the fireworks in the sky, more intoxicating than the deep night sky!
Chapter 105 May I Have This Dance?
Octavia Shelley floated elegantly and alluringly in mid-air, instantly dimming the world, with only she attracting the light of the entire world.
A large, bright blood diamond hung from her necklace, only accentuating her fair skin, revealing her domineering nature, yet her slender waist was surprisingly cinched.
The graceful curves seemed to contain endless mysteries, enticing one to explore them for a lifetime.
Her slender, beautiful legs were framed by over-the-knee socks and the slits of hercheongsam, creating a tantalizing glimpse of skin, yet they were veiled bydangling veil, making them appear hazy and indistinct.
As she stepped closer to the ground from the air, her swaying figure became a dazzling sight that countless people would never forget, even after many years.
The Empress was already bright and unparalleled, but tonight she was even more unrestrained and self-assured in her beauty.
Most people were seeing her for the first time after she had comprehended thethe ultimate self-way, wearing magnificent clothes and makeup that transcended the era, only existing in fantasy, and requiring magic to achieve, with fireworks filling the sky behind her and elegant music rising in the venue, and nobles holding their breath in silence at her feet.
When her majestic phoenix eyes swept over them, everyone understood what it meant to outshine the entire audience, what it meant to be a peerless beauty, and what it meant to be a legend who could suppress a vast empire and surrounding alien races with her own strength.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
All the male nobles knelt on one knee, and the female nobles bowed, welcoming the Eternal Night Empress to the venue!
【It's over, there really is acheongsam, later mom will have to ask me why I'm kneeling to watch the Empress...】
Hearing this familiar retort, the Eternal Night Empress couldn't help but reveal a proud smile on her face.
Ever since that kid cultivated theMind Thorns Contemplation, he could hear clear and lossless heart sounds even across a sea of people.
And these heart sounds were filled with admiration and shock, adoration and longing.
It seems thatI, used by the emperor charm has directly stunned someone into kneeling, right?
Little Octavia felt that she had mastered the correct direction of attack.
Anyway, there are still many clothes I copied before, I'll change them slowly, and see how long this young man can endure?
"My beloved subjects, please rise. Tonight is a night of indulgence and enjoyment, without too many rules."
The Eternal Night Empress gently raised her hand, and at the same time, a glass of champagne appeared in her hand, which she raised with a smile.
The Royal Orchestra's music gradually turned passionate, and the nobles picked up the glasses in their hands and toasted the Eternal Night Empress from afar.
The fireworks in the sky cleared, revealing the Eternal Night Empress's magical projection,overlooking the entire City of Mysteries, synchronizing her voice in the venue:
"I, used by the emperor drink with you all, mayIvy endure forever!"
The Eternal Night Empress drank the champagne in one gulp.
Inside the venue, the nobles drank together, saying in unison: "MayIvy endure forever!"
Outside the venue, countless excited citizens drank together, sincerely saying: "MayIvy endure forever!"
Many people from the lower classes, having received subsidies from the Empire, were drinking and eating meat for the first time tonight.
On weekdays, their main food was black bread, which was so hard it could be used as a weapon.
Therefore, compared to the nobles' perfunctory repetition, these common people's blessings were much more sincere.
Although the Eternal Night Empress's projection only lasted for this short sentence this time, and then continued with the grand fireworks display, the citizens were happy enough.
They gathered together in groups of three or five, or came to special venues, celebrating this triumph and the Empire's prosperity in their own ways, with their own dances!
The Eternal Night Empress, through the magic arrays arranged throughout the city, could vaguely sense the joy overflowing the city, and her mood couldn't help but rise.
She ultimately loved this land, loved it deeply.
It was too easy to make the nobles rich, but allowing ordinary people to share in the benefits of the Empire's rise was a cause she had put countless efforts into and was now seeing hope for.
She put down her glass and laughed unrestrainedly: "Tonight,I, used by the emperor will dance with you all!"
With one sentence, the nobles in the entire venue became excited.
Margaret screamed directly, not caring about the demeanor of a prime minister, and simply said, "Hooray!"
Since the Eternal Night Empress ascended the throne, with no parents to control her, she had not attended any balls.
Princess Octavia's beautiful dance had also become a swan song.
This time she attended the ball, so the opening dance should belong to the Empress.
But the Empress, beingwillful is hersynonym, and if she didn't want to dance, no one could force her, right?
So everyone was extremely happy that she could come, and they had to return toOdo from thousands of miles away to participate in the grand event, and leave the rest to fate...
As a result, the Eternal Night Empress directly and happily said that she wanted to dance, so of course everyone was excited!
Even if she didn't dance well, the fact that Her Majesty was happy for the triumph was also an affirmation of everyone's hard work.
In the hearts of mostImperial people, Her Majesty's prestige and popularity were always different.
Her every word and deed, every bit of recognition, could make many people so happy that they couldn't sleep at night.
The Eternal Night Empress's gaze swept across the entire venue again, and immediately the young male nobles in the venue turned red, and took half a step forward subconsciously.
If Her Majesty wants to dance, she will definitely need a partner!
Although it's impossible for it to be me, what if?
The Eternal Night Empress's gaze skipped over those eager male beasts and looked at someone who was secretly eatingcheese rolls.
Roger was not interested in dancing, nor was he interested in dancing with the Empress.
He just wanted to get rid of the curse and go back to sleep.
So he started secretly eating after the toast, but suddenly felt the temperature around him drop sharply.
【No, why are you all looking at me? Why are you looking at me too, Your Majesty?】
【It wouldn't be what I think it is...】
Roger realized that the Eternal Night Empress's inexplicable afternoon tea that day was probably premeditated?
"Roger, my beloved subject, cooperated tacitly outsideSirena城, which makesI, used by the emperor quite nostalgic. MayI, used by the emperor have this dance with you again today?"
The Eternal Night Empress's lazy and seductive voice rang out, 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 ofmountains of knives and seas of fire, there was an impulse to agree.
The nobles in the venue stared at that hand, and many people looked at Roger with murderous intent.
What an honor it was for the Empress to take the initiative to invite a partner? What a grace?
Even the nobles who valued their composure couldn't help but discuss it:
"Why is it this good-for-nothing brother? I can't accept it!"
"Where am I not as good as him, except that I'm not as handsome as him?"
"Is Her Majesty choosing this good-for-nothing brother because she thinks there is no one in myImperial capital?"
"The Charles family is really too, too, too favored..."
"Is he waiting to dance with Her Majesty by rejecting me?"
Roger raised his head to look at the Eternal Night Empress in herfull dress tonight, moved his gaze down to that hand, felt the gazes behind him that seemed to pierce his heart with ten thousand arrows, and suddenly had a rebellious thought:
【You don't want me to dance with Her Majesty, and I don't want Her Majesty to dance with any of you pigs!】
【It's just a dance, right? You wouldn't dare to attack me in the palace, would you?】
"It is my honor," Roger bowed, and his body was moved by an invisible hand to the Eternal Night Empress's side.
Roger took the Empress's hand and lightly kissed the back of it.
The corners of the Eternal Night Empress's mouth rose even higher, with a kind of joy that an old hunter feels when seeing prey fall into a trap.
Hmph, can the personI, used by the emperor want to get away?
She believed that in such a situation, no man would reject her invitation.
The desire to possess is their instinct, and competing with each other is their impulse.
Roger's character is cautious, and he will suppress these thoughts, but that doesn't mean he won't have them.
We're one step closer to being confessed to!
Dancing can continue to cultivate our tacit understanding!
The Eternal Night Empress snapped her fingers, ordered the Royal Orchestra to change the music, and at the same time, a dance floor rose in the venue.
At this moment, several nobles walked out of the crowd and stood in the most dazzling place in front of the dance floor.
One of the marquises said loudly: "Your Majesty, I believe that Roger Charles has adespicable character and is not worthy to be Her Majesty's partner for the opening dance!"
A duke next to him immediately said: "I also believe that Roger has falsely reported his strength and is guilty ofdeceiving the Emperor. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
"Withoutsanctioning such awanton person, I am afraid that the hearts of theImperial people will be chilled!" Another person loudly requested.
With someone taking the lead, even more nobles who were displeased with Roger came out to request: "We also believe that Roger Charles has a big problem and request a thorough investigation into the crime ofdeceiving the Emperor he has committed!"
In an instant, nearly a hundred people stood up, from dukes to viscounts, accounting for as much as one-fifth of the Empire's nobles.
The consistent claim was that Roger Charles had committed the crime ofdeceiving the Emperor, and they requested that His Majesty thoroughly investigate and thensanction him, so as to give everyone an explanation.
Cornelia was completely frightened.
The development before her completely exceeded her expectations. She thought that announcing the news would lead to someone challenging Roger in private, or finding a way to confirm it like herself.
But who would have thought that this Roger would have such a sufficient amount of hatred, that becoming the Empress's dance partner would actually cause these nobles to publicly settle accounts at the celebration.
It would be easy to solve the matter if Roger was injured in private.
But now, publicly questioning the dance partner chosen by the Eternal Night Empress is a big deal!
Dear uncles anduncles, are you trying toremove the villains from the Emperor's side, or are you openly rebelling?
If her father, DukeNankanidun, was not also among the crowd requestingsanction Roger, she would have slipped away...
MD, I knew that the task involving the soul contract would not be so easy to complete, it's killing me!
Cornelia regretted it at this moment, ten thousand times over...
But there is no regret medicine in the world, she dropped that stone into the lake, and she has to bear the butterfly effect caused by it!
The nobles who did not come forward to request were also not interested in dancing or drinking, and watched this scene excitedly.
So many people targeting a young noble at the same time, even forcing the Empress to withdraw her order, this is an unprecedented scene since the establishment of the Empire?
What kind of virtue and ability does this Roger Charles have, that he can make many nobles who are usually hostile to each other also deal with him together?
"Hey, your brother is going to be unlucky!" Margaret poked Angelina with a strange expression.
"No, I believe in Her Majesty." Angelina was always nervous and worried, but after saying this sentence, she suddenly relaxed.
It was Her Majesty's arrangement to exaggerate Roger's strength, and she would never shirk the consequences caused by it.
The nobles are saying high-sounding words, are they really targeting her brother for the sake of the Empire? Are they really seeking justice for Her Majesty?
Angelina's gaze swept over the faces of those nobles who were requesting, and she made a list in her heart.
She felt that the Empire was large, and the purity of this team had a serious problem. It was time to rectify it.
Margaret tilted her head and thought for a while, a sharp tooth flashed with cold light at the corner of her mouth: "It seems that although it is aimed at your brother, these old bastards areundermining Her Majesty's face!"
Margaret looked at the Eternal Night Empress, waiting for Her Majesty to give an order, and she would immediately summon the Imperial Guards toput them in prison all these old bastards!
The Eternal Night Empress was still smiling at this moment, but there was no warmth in her eyes, and the cold wind of the Antarctic permafrost was blowing in her ice-blue eyes.
Seeing adark and dense crowd blocking the dance floor and requesting her, the mysterious smile on her face became even more intense.
A beautiful night, a beautiful atmosphere, why are there things that don't have eyes coming out to be annoying?
I just want to simply dance, but there are still peopletaunting, do you really thinkI, used by the emperor am still yourdoll to be manipulated?
Roger felt that the situation in the venue was a bit tense, and wanted to step forward to explain the situation outsideSirena城 to appease the nobles' emotions.
But the Eternal Night Empress held his hand and didn't let him break free.
"Don't be impatient,I, used by the emperor dogs have not been well raised and jumped out to bite people,I, used by the emperor will solve it myself."
She explained to Roger in a normal voice, but the content made the faces of the nobles who came out to request change drastically.
