It was difficult for Peter to fall asleep that night. He was thinking about the legions that existed during the time of Peter the Great.
At that time, there were 41 people, ranging from 40,000 to 50,000 people in large groups and several thousand in small groups. If we want to win the war, people are indispensable.
If you have money and a population, and recruit soldiers at a ratio of 100:1, your country will become more stable and you can even begin to expand.
But all this seems to have a premise, and that is his steadfast love with Ekaterina.
Peter couldn't help but regret his absurdity in the theater.
There were too many situations in the past life where the persona collapsed and a good deck of cards was played to pieces.
He didn't want to let ridiculous rumors spread everywhere because he couldn't control himself, which would lead to a sharp decline in newspaper sales.
Fortunately, those people yesterday didn't know their identities.
Just pay attention to it in the future.
Before he knew it, Peter fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Darier went to the palace to pick up Peter and take him to the manor, but Peter refused.
He knew the details of this fashion event. The venue was Yusupov Palace. It was considered a small-scale fashion warm-up. It was arranged by Vivian and assisted by Daliye.
This fashion warm-up is only held among aristocratic circles who have paid for it.
After successfully gaining experience, it will be carried out nationwide, and the fashion festival will become a feast for Russia and the entire world.
The reason for Peter's refusal was simple. He didn't want this warm-up to go wrong. He just wanted to be the boss without causing trouble to his subordinates.
If he gave some serious speeches at a fashion festival and had cordial and friendly exchanges with some aristocratic women, it would also be a ruined character.
His current personality is probably that he has a steadfast love for Ekaterina, but he doesn't care about state affairs, and acts a little wildly outside of love.
In short, it makes the Russian people feel that this is a monarch who will mature, and it also makes foreign monarchs feel that he is not doing his job properly at all, which reassures them.
Therefore, he decided to go alone with Mirkovsky as a bystander to understand the situation.
Daliye said that he would not disturb His Majesty's interest, and then presented the invitation.
So Peter put on a green uniform, a blue waistcoat, a gold and silver sash on his shoulders, and a black hat.
He also wore a long sword.
He looks like an officer or noble.
Then get on a carriage and go to Yusupov Palace.
Although Yusupov Palace does not have more than 4,000 rooms like the Royal Palace, it is still magnificent, and it is not just a palace.
The core of the entire area is the palace, surrounded by estates surrounding the palace.
After handing over the invitation from the carriage, Peter and Mirkovsky successfully prepared to enter the manor in a group of motorcades.
"Sir, there are a lot of people here."
Mirkovsky couldn't help but look sideways.
Because he found that not only were there many people, but also the ladies and girls were all beautifully dressed, wearing clothes designed by His Majesty.
Although the styles were different, so many people seemed to be blooming together, making him wonder when Russia had changed.
So elegant!
Peter smiled slightly and said, "Go in."
He did not show up, and it was not even a royal carriage, for he had already seen several duchesses.
These duchess had met at his coronation ceremony, and some had attended balls held by his aunt.
They weren't like the women in the theater who didn't know who he was.
Because of the invitation, which lasted for several days, Peter took up residence in a room in the manor.
This is a beautiful room, with a garden just outside the door, and you can see the excitement of the fashion festival across the two gardens.
Peter just smiled and looked at it, not passing, he breathed the fresh air.
Coming here this time is equivalent to a vacation, and I can get a general impression of the fashion festival. I believe Vivian will give him a detailed report after the warm-up.
However, he ignored the beauty of Yusupov Manor.
He had just decided to be a good man the night he slept with Ekaterina in his arms, but he immediately faced a challenge.
He is challenged by a charming creature who brings him coffee to his bedside.
She is a little girl, but her body is as developed as that of an eighteen-year-old woman.
Seeing her marble-white skin, oak-black hair, bright eyes, fluffy and playful curls, short skirt, graceful calves, and cute little feet, Peter thought that what appeared in front of him was
She is a true beauty.
Peter immediately wrote a letter scolding Darier for sending an outstanding noble lady to temper his soul.
In his letter, Peter made it clear that he did not want to meet with Darier now.
Darier's reply was one of panic.
He swore repeatedly that he had never revealed His Majesty's identity, and had not arranged for any noble lady to challenge His Majesty. This was entirely God's arrangement, and he hoped Your Majesty would not blame him.
Peter felt helpless. Why does God always hinder people when they decide to do something?
He is the steadfast Peter in love. Apart from his crazy wife, he is only devoted to Sophia until death. How can he be tempted by the devil?
But the devil looked at him informally, as if she and Peter were old acquaintances.
"Are you satisfied with your bed?" the devil asked him.
"Very satisfied. Did you lay this?"
"Yes, my name is Aurora, and I am the daughter of the steward of the manor. I am glad that you did not bring a servant so that I can serve you. I hope you will be satisfied with me."
Peter thought this girl was really comfortable talking.
He almost suspected that this girl was Sophia.
Sometimes he would sit upright while Aurora helped him put on his pajamas while chirping.
Sometimes he drinks coffee, but Aurora acts as if nothing is wrong and is generous.
Peter felt like he was being captured.
Sometimes Aurora sat down at the foot of the bed, and to excuse her somewhat wanton behavior she gave Peter a tender smile that said it all.
When Aurora's parents came in, Peter didn't move, still drinking coffee, and Aurora didn't move either.
Her parents gave her a gentle rebuke, asked Peter to forgive her insolence, and sent Aurora off to her duties.
As soon as the girl walked out the door, her father said:
"Aphroela is our only child, our treasure, our hope. She loves us, listens to us, and fears the Virgin."
"And she's as healthy as a fish in the water."
Her mother continued: "We only see one flaw in her."
Peter smiled and said, "What is it?"
"She's too young."
"This is a lovely flaw, let time correct it."
Peter said, with the shadow of Aurora still in his mind. He was convinced that this was a true happiness.
