章 70: Chapter 70: Costume Party
"Wow, Lord Boot, your werewolf costume is so handsome."
Hearing Barron's praise, Ian Boot walked into his apartment and grinned, revealing the false teeth he had brought specially. The fangs were very realistic:
"Your Highness, you should be thankful that tonight is not a full moon night..."
"But I'm afraid that compared to this, what people are more concerned about at the moment is the beautiful gypsy girl next to you."
Barron said this to Chris, who was dressed as a gypsy fortune teller beside Viscount Bute, and kissed her hand:
"Ma'am, you seem like a prophet today."
"I heard from Bonnie about this new game you created, Your Highness. It sounds very interesting."
The day finally came for Barron to hold a "Werewolf"-themed costume party in his apartment. It was the first time that his London residence had so many guests.
In addition to Viscount and Viscount Bute, Bonnie also brought her two good friends, Princes William and Harry, as well as Prince William's girlfriend Sasha.
Of course, there are also the Camerons, whom Barron had invited earlier.
In addition, Prince William also brought his good friend, Henry Howard to Barron's party.
Henry Howard has just become an earl because his father, like Barron, also inherited the title of Duke this year - the Duke of Norfolk, the oldest surviving non-royal duke family in England, ranking first among the 24 non-royal dukes at this time.
It is no wonder that Henry Howard has a close relationship with Prince William, because the Duke of Norfolk's family is itself an important official of the royal family. The Duke of Norfolk also holds the identity of the hereditary chairman of the House of Arms.
Many important ceremonies of the royal family were presided over by the Duke of Norfolk, including the king's coronation, wedding and even funeral...
Henry Howard's great-grandfather was responsible for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, the state funeral of Prime Minister Winston Churchill in 1965 and the investiture of Charles III as Prince of Wales in 1969.
Barron knew that the future queen's funeral, King Charles' coronation ceremony and Prince William's investiture ceremony as Prince of Wales would all be presided over 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 his father's title of Earl Marshall.
Many nobles have more than one title. For example, the ancestors of the Howard family held the titles of Duke of Norfolk and Earl Marshall at the same time. In this way, before the Duke passes his duke title to his heir, he can first grant the heir another slightly lower title.
If the noble has three or more titles, he can even give one of them to his second son.
…
At tonight's costume party, Barron wore a hunting suit and was obviously dressed as a hunter.
Not surprisingly, Bonnie dressed up as a witch.
Prince William was dressed as a paladin, while Prince Harry was a little weird, wearing a villager's outfit...
This was the first time Barron met Bonnie's two good friends. The one dressed as a werewolf... well, his outfit was very bold.
When he saw her, Barron couldn't help but look towards his girlfriend Bonnie. Mainly because Bonnie had dressed even more boldly that night, which left a deep impression on Barron.
William, Harry and Sasha had all played Werewolf once before, so they were considered experienced, while the others were very curious about this game.
"Barron, have you made this Werewolf card?"
Hearing William's question, Barron said with a little regret:
"Today we can only use these hastily made cards and masks as a substitute. The official game set will take some time."
The cards he took out had the names of various characters written on them, rather than the official game gift packs with exquisite patterns. After all, time was too tight, and Smythson Company did not have enough time to complete everything from design to production.
But these are much better than that night when we had to draw lots using handwritten pieces of paper.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, we will be able to complete your order within a week."
Hearing their conversation, Samantha Cameron said with a hint of apology.
"That's okay, ma'am. I value quality more than time."
In his previous life, this game started to become popular in China around 2016, but Baron had already come into contact with this game earlier.
At that time, Werewolf was a popular game in gatherings of many business elites like him. Therefore, Barron was very familiar with this game. Even though he could not be called an expert, he still understood many of the routines and gameplay.
People like William and Harry, although they have played Werewolf once, are at most more familiar with the rules than those who have never played this game. They can only be considered entry-level players.
Because there were so many people, Barron first acted as a judge, and then organized nine of them to play a game of three wolves, three gods, and three people. The three priesthoods included the prophet, the witch, and the hunter.
In fact, when Werewolf first started, there were only two professions: werewolf and villager. However, as time went on and the versions changed, more and more professions appeared, such as Cupid, thief, guard, and white wolf king, which were completely unnecessary when they were first promoted.
After all, the more complicated it is, the more difficult it is to accept. In the beginning, the "Player's Handbook" launched by Barron only had relatively basic gameplay, and at most added the three classic characters of prophet, witch and hunter.
Later, when Werewolf has a certain mass base, when everyone is familiar with the rules and wants to pursue some novelty, it will be more appropriate to gradually update the version and introduce more characters.
Because most of the people at the party were playing this game for the first time, Barron would explain it to them after each round. This made everyone feel like they had gained many new "secrets" and they were eager to try it again every time.
When playing the game, Barron specially prepared a round table and marked the numbers of the players with signs. Sitting on his left was Bonnie, and on his right was Viscountess Chris.
As a judge, it is very interesting to watch these people playing games, and I can also see some of their personality traits from it.
But there were many times, especially when it was dark and everyone closed their eyes, Barron's eyes would inevitably be attracted by Chris beside him.
It was nothing, it was just because the Viscountess's figure was too... beautiful, especially the way she dressed up today, cosplaying as a gypsy fortune teller. From Barron's angle, he could just see the deep...
In addition, it seems that the Viscountess is not particularly focused when playing the game.
For example, when everyone was speaking, everyone else was listening carefully and analyzing, only the Viscountess, she...
Barron always felt that from her side, under the tablecloth, there would be a long, voluptuous leg stretching towards him...
Well, I have to say that the texture of the stockings is indeed very good.
