Chapter 1 Awesome, I've lived another day!
The kingdom we live in is a dark fairy tale world, bloody, cruel, yet beautiful.
—According to residents of Totland
If a queen's dream is to establish a kingdom where all races live in harmony, you might praise her benevolence and imagine her kingdom as the dreamlike Atlantis.
But the truth is that her beautiful fairy tale world is nothing more than a pirate feast disguised in a beautiful guise.
After a moment of exclamation, the little girl took a knife and fork and stabbed it in hard. Her smooth yet brutal movements seemed a bit strange with the cake; it didn't look like she was cutting the cake, but rather dissecting it.
"Flour from Rutledge, eggs from Urbert Island, and premium sugar from the Hilla Islands—three small islands were ravaged just for cake ingredients? The Queen is truly extravagant!" Garette said softly, examining a slice of cake.
The air was filled with a sweet aroma; the fragrance of freshly baked desserts exploded like an atomic bomb, while delicate flowers sang songs, green trees danced to the tune, doors opened automatically for you, teacups moved on their own, and freshly made cakes and desserts talked to themselves. It all seemed illusory and magical, strange yet normal.
After all, the Queen's tea party has started again.
The grand tea party was fueled by the solidification of blood and tears.
However, it seems fitting that a tea party that begins with acts of plunder and bloodshed is used to celebrate someone's death.
"Lady Garette, the tea party is about to begin. These are the flowers that have been delivered. Would you like to take a look?" The maid, dressed as a maid, bowed very respectfully to the petite girl in front of her so that she could see the vase in her hand more clearly.
The pure and delicate white petals seemed to be covered with a layer of gold dust, which was originally a luxurious and beautiful thing, but the sudden appearance of bloodstains added a cruel sense of brokenness to the flowers in front of us.
"It should be very beautiful, but it's a pity that the blood has stained it." Looking at the bright red blood that had not yet congealed, Garrett knew what was going on.
It was almost spraying out; it looks like someone's been suffering terribly.
"Because Lady Armand is playing an 'execution game,' and she recently acquired the famous sword White Fish, she wants to hone her swordsmanship. And the flower delivery convoy just passed by there."
"Execution Game"—although it's called a game, you can tell from the name that it's not quite like the games most people imagine.
Because that's a naked killing game. Armand may seem like a dignified and composed female swordsman, but her perverted hobby is that she loves to hear people scream. Killing a few people to enjoy the atmosphere of a tea party is perfectly normal... my foot.
The Queen's daughter is also a madwoman.
"If it's dirty, just throw it away." With a single sentence, Garette decided to discard the flowers worth hundreds of thousands of Berries.
"I understand."
"Also, bring me my sword."
"Yes."
Hearing Garrett's noticeably somber tone, the maid didn't dare ask any more questions and quickly got to work.
Although she looked like a child, the maid knew perfectly well about the girl's talent.
After obtaining her sword, Galette hurried to the tea party.
Rather than watching the servants carry things to the venue, listening to the screams might be a quicker way to find out where the tea party is.
The mournful sound was like the restless scratching of a cat across a blackboard, enough to drive anyone mad, but the lady Armand, wearing a huge top hat, seemed oblivious, lost in ecstasy as if listening to celestial music, her face flushed an unnatural red.
The wound was not wide but deep, enough to not kill immediately but still leave enough room for a scream. It must be said that this technique was quite sophisticated.
However, I might have some technical skills myself.
To thrust.
In seconds, the lives of three people vanished like candles going out.
But compared to the torment inflicted by the woman before them, this seemed like an easier way out. The poor souls eventually showed expressions of relief at being freed from their predicament.
"Galette, you've ruined my mood." Armand lit a cigarette, the swirling smoke drifting around her face, but her displeased expression was still vaguely visible.
Wiping the blood splattered on her face, Garrett said softly, "It's too noisy after all. Let's give the guests a more relaxed environment. If it's too noisy, the Queen might be unhappy."
Upon hearing Garette mention her Queen Mother, Armand finally suppressed his displeasure and then quietly stood aside.
Because the host of the tea party has arrived.
"Oh my gosh~ oh my gosh, everyone's here? I'm so happy!!!"
A huge figure suddenly appeared in the tea party venue. The newcomer was wearing a pink polka dot dress and a pink captain's hat, with the sun and clouds following her.
Although she wasn't wearing the Queen's crown, her seat in the main position immediately established her status as the Queen.
But what is the Queen's true authority? Just look at the pale-faced guests sitting down and you'll know.
Even though she may appear kind and gentle, and speak in a somewhat childish manner, if you dare not attend her tea party, your loved ones will die a violent death.
Finally, she will kindly tie the head of your loved one with the prettiest bow and present it to you.
In this kingdom, the Queen's authority is absolute. Charlotte Linlin is the ruler of the Kingdom of Totto Land.
If you're her guest, that's bad, but there are worse things, like, my body is that of her biological daughter, Charlotte Garrett.
"Everyone, today is a celebration! That bastard Roger is finally going to die! Everyone, enjoy this moment!!!"
Upon hearing this, everyone broke into what could only be described as "radiant" smiles.
He smiled gently, and his first words were a celebration of dying.
That really fits the character of a pirate.
The female emperor of the pirate world, the queen of the Totto Land Kingdom, is now celebrating the death of Roger, whom she has long loathed.
Yes, it is now the year 1498 of the Sea Calendar. Pirate King Roger will be executed today, marking the end of an era, but it will also usher in a new one.
From this moment forward, the Great Pirate Era begins.
The people's madness for treasure and their yearning for the sea ushered in the most magnificent era.
The Navy probably never imagined that its public execution of the Pirate King, intended to demonstrate its strength, would be used as the catalyst for him to usher in the pirate era. This was tantamount to slapping the Navy in the face.
What's even more interesting is that everyone thought Roger's capture was a stain on his reputation, but who knew that Roger had made all the preparations before going to his death? For a legend like him, how could dying in bed be as glorious as a public execution? Moreover, he was in love with a young and beautiful woman and made sure to leave offspring before he died.
He is the truly shrewd one.
In terms of physical strength, Roger might not be able to compare to his mother, but in terms of intelligence, ten Charlotte Linlins couldn't match Roger. Therefore, Charlotte Linlin was just one of the emperors of the sea, while Roger was the king of all pirates.
"It's such a pity that I can't witness the end of a legend," Garrett murmured softly.
However, her thoughts quickly returned to reality, as her keen senses continued to stimulate her.
The rusty smell of blood mingled with the sweet aroma of cake, stimulating Garrett's senses and making her want to vomit, yet she was also somewhat lost in this luxurious, decadent, and bloody feast.
Today was another day of spiritual pollution!
