The order that Barron placed with Smythson can be said to be a considerable one. In addition to entrusting the other party to design a deluxe version of the "Werewolf" game package, he also customized the first batch of 100 sets of this game gift package. The price of this order will be as high as 200,000 pounds, and each set of Smythson's "Werewolf" set is priced at 1,000 pounds, which will include a user manual that is extremely beautifully designed and printed, as well as game cards and related game masks - used to block the vision of players with closed eyes at dark.
Originally, the Camerons were planning to host a dinner for Barron and Bonnie at their home, but because they had children to take care of, Barron didn't want to cause trouble for them, so he declined their invitation and said that he would invite the two to the next "Werewolf" themed party at home.
"In the face of such misfortune, they can still face life so strongly and manage their lives so well. In comparison, I feel much happier."
On the way back, Bonnie leaned on Barron and sighed.
"In fact, fate is relatively fair. No matter who you are, you will inevitably have to face birth, aging, sickness and death. This is what life is supposed to experience..."
Barron said with emotion.
Hearing his words, Bonnie couldn't help but think of the people around her. Although they were born in the Duke's family, they also experienced the loss of their loved ones due to accidents. For a moment, Bonnie did not speak to comfort Barron, but kissed him gently on the face and hugged him tighter to express her comfort.
"Honey, how is your job now? Do you like it?"
Listening to Barron's question, Bonnie thought for a moment and said:
"It's true that I'm very interested in media matters. Whether it's on stage or behind the scenes, there are many things to learn, and I've always had a strong interest in these things. I can say that I enjoy them. But to be honest, I don't know if it's my illusion, I feel that now the TV station is more like treating me as a vase. I'm not tired of it, but although I'm currently doing this talk show, I can't get involved in many things. It's difficult for me to try more ideas. I just follow the script they give me."
"So you want to have more autonomy?"
"Maybe I'm too greedy. I also know that up to now, I still have little experience and a lot to learn. If I were a senior executive at a TV station, I'm afraid they wouldn't really give me the power to make decisions. But I think at least I can have more opportunities to try, instead of just being a vase standing on the stage."
It can be said that Bonnie is the first woman with whom Barron had emotional interactions since he came to this world. As for Aurora before her - whether it was Barron's previous life or the predecessor of this life, neither of them was a pure person. They had more contact with the opposite sex, both emotional and physical. It can only be said that for Aurora, he was just greedy for her body.
Of course, when Barron first came into contact with Bonnie, he was more attracted to her because of her figure and face that made it difficult for anyone to remain calm. However, after a period of contact, Bonnie successfully entered Barron's heart through her own charm.
"Like you said, dear, is there going to be that party at your house in a couple of days?"
"Yes, baby, I'm going to have a Werewolf-themed party. I'm going to prepare some costumes for everyone, similar to Cosplay, and then we're going to play this new game I came up with..."
"Wow, I'm really looking forward to it. I have to think about how to dress myself up. Which do you prefer, a female werewolf... or a witch?"
When Bonnie said that, Barron became excited... He imagined Bonnie's outfits, hmm...
"Baby, I think it's hard to make a decision just by imagining it, why don't we try it ourselves tonight..."
…
It is not surprising that Barron has such an idea. In fact, British aristocrats have been fond of this kind of Cosplay-like dance since a very early time.
Just like the most famous masquerade ball in the Victorian era, it was held by the 8th Duke of Devonshire, Spencer Cavendish, and his wife, Duchess Louisa Cavendish, at Chatsworth House on July 2, 1897.
More than 700 guests attended the ball to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.
At that time, except for Queen Victoria, almost all members of the royal family participated in the ball, and participants included princes and nobles from various European countries as well as top politicians from various countries.
The ball made headlines in newspapers across Europe at the time and was so successful and luxurious that it is considered one of the most famous masquerade balls in the world.
At this ball,
the then Crown Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, dressed up as a member of the Knights Hospitaller of Malta; the Duke and Duchess of York dressed up as the Earl of Cumberland and the court lady-in-waiting of Queen Margaret of Valois respectively.
The Duchess of Devonshire at the time dressed up as Queen Palmyra, a very famous queen of the Kingdom of Palmyra during the Roman Empire, located in present-day Syria; Lady Jane Spencer Churchill (the mother of later British Prime Minister Winston Churchill) dressed up as the Byzantine Queen Theodora.
As for the other nobles, they also cosplayed as different characters, including extremely famous emperors and queens in history, and even dressed up as Cleopatra...
Therefore, masquerade balls like this have a long tradition among the nobility and are extremely popular.
Barron's costume party with a "Werewolf" theme will naturally attract everyone to join in.
It is also worth mentioning that after the "experiment" that night, Barron finally decided to let Bonnie dress up as a witch that day, because her female werewolf costume was too... wild, and I'm afraid that most people can't handle it, including him...
Well, it's not that the witch version of Bonnie can't be wild, but that wild moment is only reserved for the night, when Barron, the Templar Knight, can judge with his piety to the gods and fearlessness of evil…
…
"Your Highness, I heard that you are planning to hold a costume party, right?"
It seems that news spreads quite quickly. When Barron met Viscount Bute again, he heard him mention the "Werewolf" themed party he was going to hold.
But this is not surprising. After all, Bonnie invited her cousin, Viscountess Bute, to participate...
"Yes, Your Excellency, if you have time, you are welcome to come and join us."
"That's great. Chris is already thinking about how to dress up. As for me, I'm going to dress up as a werewolf. That will definitely be fun."
Sure enough, Viscount Butt was also quite interested in this, and even thought of the goal of Cosplay at that time. In this case, if Baron had not invited him just now... it would have been impolite.
Of course, this time when Barron came to see the other party, he didn't come to talk about this specifically, it was just a casual topic.
He sat down in the chair opposite Viscount Bute and said to him:
"Your Excellency, I heard that Argent Group's plan doesn't seem to be progressing smoothly?"
