Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage Chapter 1249

Chapter 1249

The Red Heart Queen has held eleven parties, and Great Witch Flora from the Witch God's Domain has attended six of them, making her one of the few guests from the Endless God's Domain who can leave the party unharmed.
Among all the attendees of the Red Heart Queen's Masquerade, she has escaped the most times. All six times she successfully left without injury, making her an expert participant of the party.
"So, let's join again."
"Getting the chance to have the Queen's special grape wine is rare, maybe only once in ten times. I wonder what will happen this time."
After confirming the food list for the Red Heart Queen's Masquerade, the Great Witch Flora from the Witch God's Domain pressed her fingerprint on the invitation from the Red Heart Queen, indicating that she accepts the Queen's invitation.
The invitations for the Red Heart Queen's Masquerade are randomly distributed, but it's not mandatory to attend. All the legend-ranked beings who participate in the Red Heart Queen's Masquerade have confirmed that they need the legend-ranked food before deciding whether to attend the ball.
The Great Witch Flora from the Witch God's Domain is the only legend-ranked witch who has participated in the Red Heart Queen's Masquerade multiple times, up to six times. She has received the invitation ten times in total.
This is not a coincidence, but the result of the Great Witch Flora using a forbidden spell to interfere with the fate and choices of a certain river of destiny.
She has partly bound her fate to the Red Heart Queen's fate, so whenever the Queen sends out an invitation to the ball, she receives it, except for the first time when she didn't.
For the existence of legend-ranked beings, the Red Heart Queen's Masquerade is both dangerous and an opportunity. Although the chances of successfully escaping the ball are less than one in ten, the successful ones do receive the reward of the ball, which is the legend-ranked cuisine prepared by the Nightmare World chefs.
Food like Eternal Youth Apple Pie is nothing special for ordinary people, but occasionally, there are divine delicacies that even legend-ranked beings would envy. Just like the "Blood Wine of the Great Queen" this time, it's something even Great Witch Flora, who has received the invitation ten times, desires.
Remember once, the Red Heart Queen released a special food called "Legendary Multi-headed Dragon" that is already as powerful as a legendary item without any extra processing.
That time's Red Heart Queen's Masquerade became a battleground for many goddesses, with fierce fighting until the skies darkened. The winner was the mighty God Slaying Sky Sword.
This time, the "Blood Wine of the Great Queen" was even more valuable than the previous "Legendary Multi-headed Dragon". It only appeared on the menu during the first Queen's dance, and Great Witch Flora could already imagine how intense this dance would be.
Even someone like her, who stands at the peak of magic in the legend-ranked, can't guarantee a win.
In the history of the dance, there was only one participant, the God Slaying Sky Sword, who managed to slay everyone in an instant. Even the Red Heart Queen herself was killed hundreds of times and the "Legendary Multi-headed Dragon" was stolen.
As Great Witch Flora pressed her own fingerprint, a bright red light was released from the white invitation letter. It was like the last color of the sunset, and a door leading to an unknown place appeared in front of Flora.
"I wonder how many people will come to this event," Flora said, holding down her cloak's hood as she casually walked into the bloody door.
The first guest of the Red Heart dance, the Great Witch Flora from the Witch God's Domain, entered.
......
In the secret underground treasury of the Water God's realm, Ouroboros looked extremely bored as he wrapped his tail around his body.
"I don't know... please don't ask me again!"
"I refuse to do any divination about your disciple or your lover. I wouldn't even do it if I were to die!"
"You know very well that after the last divination, I was useless for many years."
"Even if you kill me, I still won't be able to do any divination, Casina."
Casina the Battle God, with a blissful expression, was drinking the Hydera's finest (fake) wine and using her slender legs to tap Ouroboros' massive head.
"Is that true? My Sand of Time never lies."
"You still have the ability to do divination. Keep going and believe in yourself, you can do it."
"You are the most mysterious fortune teller in the entire Endless God's Domain. Who else should we seek if not you?"
Ouroboros had a fearless expression like a pig facing hot water. He stuck out his tongue and licked the drink spilled by Casina the Battle God, then shook his head and shook it again.
"The last divination consumed too much spiritual energy. Unless there is a legend-ranked food to supplement it, I cannot start the next divination."
"Legendary rank food, huh? That's difficult to find." Casina the Battle God also knew that she was in a difficult situation. If Ouroboros' divination could be used frequently, she wouldn't have accumulated so much debt and escape from it like a coward, even though she was a respected fantasy species.
Her divination ability seemed mystical, but time proved that it was almost never wrong. She was the only highly recognized fortune teller of the mysterious faction in the Endless God's Domain.
The ability to glimpse fragments of the future in the River of Destiny belonged to her alone in the entire Endless God's Domain. If not for her habit of constantly accumulating debts without paying them back, she would have been caught and barbecued long ago.
Only legend-ranked delicacies, like the ones from the legends, could replenish the spiritual energy lost after casting such powerful spells.
The legend-ranked food requires precious ingredients of the corresponding level and the extremely rare resources that can only be created by life professions that have disappeared in the Endless God's Domain.
Even Casina the Battle God herself had only eaten legend-ranked food a few times. The biggest reason she lingered and didn't leave Hydera the Water God's place was because there was (pseudo) legend-ranked wine here, albeit diluted inferior ones. It still made Casina the Battle God linger and never want to leave.
The only place she knew where legend-ranked food would appear was a place mentioned to her by a senior the Sky Sword.
However, the timing of the appearance of that place is uncertain, and it is also random whether you can enter or not.
In the past, the seniors boasted about how much their chests had grown, and it seems that the legend-ranked food in that place is real.
Remember, it's called the Red Heart Queen's masquerade ball?
A red, transparent door appeared in the wine cellar, and two invitations fell at once, one for Ouroboros of the fantasy species, and the undefeated champion of the Battle God's Grand Martial Arts Tournament, Casina the Battle God.
"Oh, look who it is!"
Casina the Battle God's eyes lit up, it's like someone bringing a pillow when they want to sleep!
"No... this is a trap, I don't want to go!"
Ouroboros knew something was wrong as soon as they saw the invitation.
