Chereads / The contemporary Duke of England / Chapter 70 - Costume Party

Chapter 70 - Costume Party

  "Wow, Lord Butt, your werewolf costume is so handsome."

  Hearing Barron's compliments, Ian Butt walked into his apartment and grinned, showing his special. The dentures he wears are very realistic:

  "Your Highness the Duke, you should be glad that tonight is not a full moon night..." "

  But I am afraid that compared to this, what people are more concerned about at the moment is this beautiful gypsy beside you. Girl."

  Barron said to Chris, who was dressed as a gypsy fortune teller next to Viscount Bute, and kissed her hand:

  "Madam, you seem to be a prophet today."

  "I am from Bang. I heard about this new game you created, Your Highness. It sounds very interesting."

  The time finally came when Barron held a "Werewolf" themed costume party in his apartment. It was the first time that the London residence had so many guests.

  In addition to Viscount Bute and his wife, Bonnie also brought her two friends, Princes William and Harry, and Prince William's girlfriend Sasha.

  Of course, there are also the Camerons whom Barron invited before.

  In addition, Prince William also brought his friend Henry Howard to the party in Barron.

  Henry Howard had just become an earl because his father, like Barron, also inherited the title of Duke this year - the Duke of Norfolk, the oldest non-royal ducal family in England. At this time, he ranked first among 24 non-royal dukes.

  It is no wonder that Henry Howard has a close relationship with Prince William, because the Duke of Norfolk family is itself an important minister of the royal family, and the Duke of Norfolk also has the status of being the hereditary chairman of the House of Arms.

  Many major ceremonies of the royal family are presided over by the Duke of Norfolk, including the king's coronation ceremony, weddings, and even funerals...

  Henry Howard's great-grandfather was responsible for the coronation ceremony of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 and the coronation ceremony of Winston in 1965. ·The state funeral of Prime Minister Churchill and the investiture of Charles III as Prince of Wales in 1969.

  And Barron knew that the future queen's funeral and the coronation ceremony of King Charles and the investiture ceremony of Prince William in front of him as Prince of Wales would all be hosted by Henry Howard's father, the current Duke of Norfolk.

  After Henry Howard's grandfather died this year, his father inherited the title of Duke of Norfolk, and accordingly, as the eldest son, Henry Howard also inherited the title of Earfrom his father.

  There are many nobles who not only have one title. For example, the ancestors of the Howard family will have the titles of Duke of Norfolk and Earl of Marshall at the same time. This way, before the duke passes his title to his heir, he can first grant the heir another, slightly lower, title.

  And if the noble holds three or more titles, one of them can even be awarded to the second son.

  ...

  At tonight's costume party, Barron was wearing a hunting suit. It was obvious that he was dressed as a hunter.

  Not surprisingly, Bonnie dressed up as a witch.

  Prince William was dressed as a paladin, and Prince Harry was a little weirder, wearing villagers' costumes...

  It was the first time for Barron to meet Bonnie's two friends, one of whom was dressed as a werewolf. Well...well, the dress is very bold.

  Seeing her, Barron couldn't help but look towards his girlfriend Bonnie. The main reason was that Bonnie's dress was even bolder than this one that night, which impressed Barron too much.

  William, Harry, and Sasha have all played Werewolf before and are already experienced. Others are very curious about this game.

  "Barron, have you made this Werewolf card yet?"   

  Hearing William's question, Barron said with a little regret:

  "Today, we can only use these rushed-out playing cards and masks. The official game set will take a while."

  The playing cards he took out had the following words on them: The names of various characters are written in text instead of the official game gift package with exquisite patterns. After all, the time is too tight, and Smytheson Company did not have time to complete it from design to production.

  But these are much better than that night when you had to draw lots with handwritten pieces of paper.

  "Don't worry, Your Highness, we will be able to complete your order within a week."

  After hearing their conversation, Samantha Cameron said slightly apologetically.

  "That's okay, madam, I value quality more than time."

  In his previous life, it started to become popular in China in 2016, but Barron had been exposed to this product earlier. Game over.

  At that time, Werewolf was a popular game at many gatherings of business elites like him, so Barron was very familiar with this game. Even though he was not a master, he was still familiar with many of the routines and gameplay. understand.

  For example, William and Harry, although they have also played Werewolf once, are at most just a little more familiar with the rules than those who have never been exposed to this game. They can only be regarded as entry-level.

  Because there were a lot of people, Barron first acted as a judge and then organized 9 of them to play a game of three wolves, three gods, and three people. The three priests included the prophet, the witch, and the hunter.

  In fact, at the beginning of Werewolf, there were only two professions: werewolves and villagers. However, as the versions changed later, more professions appeared, such as cupid, thief, guard, white wolf king, etc., which were initially promoted , it is completely unnecessary.

  After all, the more complex it is, the more difficult it is to accept. At the beginning, the "Player's Handbook" launched by Barron only included relatively basic gameplay, adding at most three classic characters: prophet, witch, and hunter.

  Later, after Werewolf has a certain mass base, when everyone is familiar with the rules and wants to pursue some novelties, it will be more appropriate to gradually change the version and introduce more characters.

  Because most of the people at this party were exposed to this game for the first time, Barron would explain it to them after each game. This made everyone feel that they had obtained many new "secrets" and every time Eager to try again.

  While playing the game, Barron specially prepared a round table and marked each table with its serial number. Sitting on his left was Bonnie; on his right was Viscountess Chris.

  As a judge, it is very interesting to watch the game of these people, and you can also see some of their personality traits.

  However, there are many times, especially when it is dark and everyone closes their eyes, Barron's eyes are inevitably attracted to Chris next to him.

  Without it, it's just because the Viscountess's figure is too... graceful, especially the way she is dressed today. The cosplay has become a gypsy fortune teller. From Barron's side, it can be seen from her. In the hollow chest, I saw the deep...

  In addition, it seemed that the viscountess was not particularly attentive when playing the game.

  For example, when they were speaking, everyone else was listening carefully and analyzing. Only the Viscountess...

  Barron would always feel that from her side, under the tablecloth, there would be a rather voluptuous line. Stretching her long legs to his side...

  Well, needless to say, the texture of those stockings is indeed very good.
