Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 202 Fairy Rigrael
Ever since Bill and Tilly got engaged, he moved his base completely from Georgetown International Port in the Taiman Islands to Jamestown Royal Port.

The part of the privateering fleet that participated in the colonial escort work also became his direct troops.

At least that's what the Newman family thinks.

The Newman family also specially prepared a luxurious manor with its own hunting ground outside the city for their daughter and future son-in-law.

Although Tilly does not live here permanently, she goes home early before nightfall like every lady.

But according to their habits when they were dating before their engagement, she would spend most of the day hanging around Bill.

This day was just like any other. Even though it was already evening, she was in no hurry to go back.

It seems like she is cherishing every minute and every second with her fiancé.

"Bill" sat in his own study, which was well-lit, with clean windows and desks, and most importantly, was built by the Newman family at a huge expense.

He was wearing a military uniform carefully tailored by Newman's private tailor. It looked heroic, cool and comfortable.

dong dong dong.
His fingers tapped on the desk filled with documents, and the pleasant sound proved that this seemingly inconspicuous desk was no ordinary item.

The surface looks like priceless teak, but it is not just teak.

Instead, it is a high-quality material used in the current high-end furniture production that may not be available even if you have money: old ship teak.

That is to say, the teak ship planks that have been soaked in sea water for many years are dismantled and re-produced into high-end tabletops or desks.

During this period, various mortise and tenon holes or nail holes used as ship planks were often deliberately preserved to show that they had indeed served on warships.

The Newman family was in charge of the warehouse at the naval base, so this high-end business naturally became their monopoly and was widely welcomed by the upper class and wealthy businessmen.

They also have large plantations of sugar cane, tobacco, indigo, cocoa, and spices.

The nightingale's song is a place of entertainment and pleasure where a fortune is made every day; inns, docks, taverns, etc.

They are involved in every industry that outsiders can think of in Port Royal and on the 11000 square kilometers of Arawak Island.

Moreover, Newman was just an earl, and unlike Byron, he did not have a great cause of national restoration to accomplish and did not have such a huge expenditure.

When it comes to high-end enjoyment, a certain exile who spends money like water can hardly even compare to him.

For Bill, who enjoyed all these benefits, it is not an exaggeration to say that a marriage saved him twenty years of hard work.

There were countless people behind his back who were criticizing him on the surface, but were secretly jealous with their eyes red and their teeth almost broken.

"So what if it's an overloaded tank? So what if it's a fully loaded cargo ship? I just like driving big cars! Big ships!"

"If one day I die unexpectedly from Miss Tilly turning over at night, it will be my own fault. It is my fate!"

"Bad personality? If someone says she's fat, she'll order them to torture her to death, making the word fat a taboo (Chapter 166)? Deserve it!

This is what happens to people who only care about appearance."

"It doesn't matter whether it's money or not, I just happen to like plump ones"

In the past, Bruch, who was known as Bill, had disdained all of this.

If it weren't for the oath to protect his master, he would never even look at Tilly.

But accidents always come unexpectedly.

He didn't know when everything started to change suddenly.

Looking out the French window at the huge creature picking flowers in the garden with a few maids, with the flowers trembling with every step he took, Bruch's eyes were filled with a bit of obsession:
“A broad forehead actually symbolizes blessing.

A flat nose is nothing big, after all, we see too many girls with high noses. This girl is obviously different from others.

The cheeks are slightly sagging because they are too fat. Well, how can beauty and ugliness be determined by fat or thin? I think fat people are cute too.

Even with that trembling double chin, I can still see some charm in her.

Even that body that's as bloated as a city wall makes people feel extremely safe, okay?
So, why didn't I realize she had so many good qualities before?"

Many days have passed since the engagement ceremony.

He gradually felt many unusual things about his fiancée, Miss Tilly.

Bruch re-examined himself and felt that he was probably sicker than before, but the most frightening thing was that he didn't want to be treated at all!

Moreover, this desire to correct mistakes becomes lower and more negative as time goes by.

I even think that it would be nice to live together after we get married after a while.

If he had not been Lancaster's most loyal retainer and his lord's guardian knight, he would not have sent the communication explaining his abnormality to Byron.

She even made up her mind to ask her master to spare Tilly's life when she would settle accounts with the Newman family in the future.

If I fail, I would be willing to die with him for the sake of loyalty and love.

My thoughts gradually drifted away and a happy smile appeared on my face.

"Bill, what are you thinking about? You're so absorbed in it. Are you thinking about me? Hahaha."

His signature laugh, as heavy as a barbell, suddenly rang in Bruch's ears.

A pair of fat hands, larger than a silver plate, naturally rested on his shoulders.

But Tilly had already come to his side and looked down at several documents on the table.

On top was an unfinished personnel transfer order and a brand new nautical chart marked with "Treasure Island".

There was a sudden gleam of light in her eyes.

Just as Bruch subconsciously stood up, pulled over a chair, and helped his "fiancée" sit down, Tilly asked casually:

"Honey, are you going to lead a team to Treasure Island to hunt for treasure?"

Bruch didn't think much about it and responded casually:
“You also know that the family’s situation is not good now.

Although we have managed to escape the reckoning of the Kingmaker, the Earl of Warwick, we have offended this powerful figure in the country, and even His Majesty may not be able to protect us.

Your Excellency the General finally got hold of this treasure map. The immense wealth on the island can change a lot of things.

Whether it was filling the deficit, bribing the gentlemen of the House of Lords, paying tribute to His Majesty's inner treasury, or even easing relations with the Kingmaker, it was possible for the Newman family to retain their current position.

As one of the few military officers among the younger generation of my family, how could I just stand by and watch? "

He did not lie about this. He was definitely going to Treasure Island, but he would not tell her who he was going for.

“But I heard that the appearance of Treasure Island has become big news throughout the Bantaan Islands.

The fight will probably be very intense if you go there." When she said this, Tilly forced herself to keep quiet.

I secretly blame myself for being emotional and talking too much. What should I do if I fail to complete the task?
To be more precise, it should be the skinned man [fairy] Rigrael under the skin of "Tirryl".

She herself was somewhat surprised at her own slip of the tongue. For a pretender, this was a low-level mistake that should not have been made.

'The Governor of Havana, who cooperated with the Order, requested that while collecting intelligence on the military strength of all parties, more people be led to Treasure Island.

Prepare to take advantage of the dangers on the island to capture the elite forces of all major forces.

Only by completing the task brilliantly can I obtain the second blood sublimation ritual, shed my ugly human skin, and try to break the curse brought by [Title·Fairy].

But'

She turned her head and looked at the pirate general "Bill" in front of her.

Born into a declining noble family, although not handsome, he is tall and strong, full of rugged masculine charm.

The most important thing is that after the conventional military strength of Port Royal was greatly weakened, he still controlled the most powerful naval force besides the navy.

Together with the fleet controlled by his old subordinate, sea hunter Byron Tudor, the fleet is stronger than the other five pirate generals combined.

It is also an object that must be cleared during the mission.

“But this man always made me feel special, or maybe very important to me.

It is more important than the mission of the Flaying Church, or even the completion of the Ritual of a Thousand Faces! "

[Fairy Rigrael] is an inherited title, just like the [Child Guardian] that has been passed down from generation to generation among the people of the Bay.

Similar titles in the Old World include:

[Earl Huntington·Robin Hood·The Righteous Thief], [Jack the Ripper], [The Old Man of the Mountain·Hassan Sabbah], [Monster Hunter·Van Helsing].
There are at least hundreds or thousands of them in total.

Some are passed down within a specific ethnic group, some are passed down within a secret organization, some are passed down from master to apprentice, and some are passed down by random selection of successors with the most similar conditions and deeds.

In short, many inherited titles have been passed down in the world for hundreds or thousands of years and have never been discontinued.

[Fairy] is an ancient title that has been passed down from the mythological era to the present day, and it will randomly befall extremely beautiful women.

Giving them blessings makes them more beautiful than ordinary people, but also giving them curses makes them turn into the ugliest beasts!
The title of Rigrael carries an inherent curse.

Half of the day she is an extremely beautiful fairy, and the other half she is an extremely ugly beast.

If she didn't have this curse, she would be a charming "fairy", but with this curse, she can only be called a "monster" that everyone wants to kill.

She has absolutely no way of surviving in normal human society.

As a result, he had no choice but to leave the Old World and join the Skinning Church, hoping to use other people's skin to cover up his ugly monster-like appearance.

Unfortunately, the entry-level "Thousand Faces Ceremony" cannot resist this powerful title effect.

She can dress ugly in her "fairy" state, but it is impossible for her to dress beautifully in her "beast" state.

Except for the ugly enough Tilly, she could hardly wear any human skin.

The only consolation was that she was no longer an outlier in a place like the Flayed Cult where beasts held meetings.

Of course, there are other benefits, such as the title effect [Absolute Charm]:
“Any creature that sees her face in her fairy state will fall madly in love with her, regardless of whether they are male or female, human or animal, or monster.

Her charm ensures that no matter what unusual or even incomprehensible behavior she performs, others will understand, forgive, and even obey her.

The degree of obedience varies according to the rank.

One level lower, he would obey orders, and two levels lower, he would have no problem even being ordered to commit suicide.

Even if they are of the same level, they will have strong admiration for her, and even those of a higher level cannot bear to hurt such a beauty.

The higher your rank, the more people you can charm at the same time.

And all of this will be immediately resolved when the deceived person sees her ugly side.

If you don't look at the fairy's face for 12 hours, it will be gone."

Correspondingly, if someone is immune to the negative effects and can see through her ugly appearance to her true nature as a [fairy].

And when she presents an ugly appearance, giving her a deep and affectionate kiss from the heart can completely remove the curse of the title.

The reason why she was unwilling to urge Bill to die was because she unexpectedly discovered that as time went by, the other party gradually became immune to her current ugly appearance.

I love myself more and more, regardless of whether it is day or night.

“From what I’ve observed, he never showed any affection for Tilly before I took over this role.

Maybe he is the unconventional child of destiny in my life.

This is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me, and I absolutely cannot let it go.

Compared to the advanced knowledge in “The Thousand Faces of Ritual” which may or may not be useful, perhaps it is more likely that he can help me.

His heart belongs to me!"

So, in excitement, since the engagement, Rigel has appeared in front of "Bill" more frequently.

Until now, seven days later, she felt that the time might be ripe.

That happy smile just now could never be faked.

When Bill comforted her that he would be fine, Rigel took his hand and begged earnestly:

"Honey, before you go, can you give me a kiss?"

Bruch looked at the bloody mouth that had already opened up in front of him, struggled a little, and found that he did not have much resistance in his heart.

Even under some kind of internal driving force, his body subconsciously moved his face closer faster than he would.

He was completely unaware that his sworn heroic spirit, [Sun Knight] Gawain, had suddenly opened his eyes deep in his consciousness.

There is a hint of nostalgia and relief in it.

Watching their lips getting closer and closer.

"You dream of warm sunshine, and the stones become soft. There is a wide road in front of our home."

Suddenly, an ethereal and extremely gentle lullaby came from afar, instantly filling the entire manor.

Within this range, all servants except the extraordinary ones fell to the ground one after another and fell into a deep sleep in an instant.
