In the Seine City, at the recently re-opened Grand Theater of Saint-Michel; La Fontaine, the former royal adviser to the Burgundian dynasty with a face full of make-up and oil paint, was also looking bitterly at the empty theater from a corner of the dome, as those who took their seats one after another
The men and women in gorgeous clothes breathed out wine and said in a hateful voice:
"Sovereign God, why have the once noble bloodlines and noble traditional virtues been trampled to the ground? Those who enjoy wealth and honor today are a group of upstarts, heretics, and those who don't know who have no morals and decency.
What a vulgar piece of shit etiquette is,”
Because a large part of these well-dressed spectators entering the venue are unfamiliar faces with foreign accents. They either carry ribbons representing knighthood, or have sword and shield badges of knighthood on their chests; or they wear straight clothes.
Royal blue double-breasted military uniform with stand collar.
There are even people wearing necklaces of different shapes that show the aristocratic status of the new dynasty, with various gold and silver textures and gemstones inlaid, shining brightly under the lights. Holding their arms is the most popular social butterfly in those social occasions, or the one who once belonged to
A noblewoman from the capital city;
However, under the decoration of all kinds of gorgeous clothes and expensive accessories, the vague awkwardness and stiffness of the gestures, or the solemnity of forced composure are easy to distinguish from other sophisticated audiences. Others are
They greeted and chatted loudly as if no one was around.
Some people roll up their sleeves when they are excited, and even take off the collars that represent noble status without hesitation and hand them to their female companions, showing the numerous scars on their arms and bodies. Therefore, the position where these people appear is solemn.
The elegant art venue is as lively as a vegetable market.
But La Fontaine had completely forgotten that when he was at his most impoverished, he had chased barefoot at the entrances of theaters and salons everywhere, selling his scripts to people of all walks of life; he had also been on the streets of the lower town, clowns dressed in dirty rags
Pack your bags and do your best to please those poor devils.
However, at least there is still an old lover who is a well-known actor. Thinking of the old relationship and admiration for his talent, he is willing to take the risk under the eyes of the new dynasty and provide the identity of a clown actor to hide and cover him, and gave him
His most basic daily food and clothing guarantee.
However, a familiar figure mixed in among the audience and distinguished guests made him couldn't help but widen his eyes, and he was so full of jealousy and hatred that he almost fell off the beam where he was hiding and drinking...
For another member of the royal council of the former dynasty, the former assistant to the finance minister Charles Travel, it was even more complicated and had mixed feelings. Because this also meant that after a few months, he was socially unavailable.
The occasion reappeared, and a new chapter began.
However, such an amnesty order with many related people waiting inside was based on his full cooperation with the Free Army/Salvation Government and the vast majority of the capital's bankers, loan sharks, financiers, and underground gangs in the capital.
, they were all exposed and investigated.
Therefore, just how much these people fawned over and flattered him at the beginning, now they hate him so much. Even though he is wearing a hood that hides his face, he can still deeply feel the resentment and hatred from those desperate colleagues; but no matter what,
, he can live in the sun.
He just had to lose the word "virtue" in his name, which represented his aristocratic status, and start everything over as an ordinary citizen. Although he had lost most of his property, including the building where he was hiding, all
Utensils and objects have been preserved.
However, Charles also had troubles that were not going well. First of all, during the days when he was under supervision after the martial law was lifted in the city, Aunt Agnes went out early and came back late all day long. She did not know what she was doing. She waited until Charles returned home.
You know, she has signed up to become a medical nun.
Therefore, during this period of time, I followed the nuns from the Capital Hospital around the downtown area, often getting myself dirty. Then the signs of pregnancy of private secretary Mary were inevitably exposed when she was alone; but his wife Charlotte did not.
He got angry at her and kicked Ciel out instead.
Finally, there was his lover, Lola de Bovan, the daughter of a banker, who had a close relationship with him. After insisting on returning to her private villa, she was inevitably attacked. Although the personal guards she had kept attacked her one after another.
Pushed back the first few groups of looters and street mobs.
However, then there was a wandering injured alien that broke into her courtyard in a hurry. Although it was successfully killed in the end, it also caused heavy casualties to the private guards. As a result, when the next wave of mobs arrived, the remaining
The guards actually abandoned their duties and fled on the spot.
Therefore, when the Free Army soldiers who maintained order in the city began to clear the streets of thugs who were taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, they finally found the only Laura who was still alive in this mansion. But she had suffered unspeakable injuries, and
He crazily climbed to the top of the building.
Finally, Fran, who was in the city, got the news and sent someone to take her back. When Charles saw Laura again in the confinement room of the nunnery, she was frantically tearing her hair and clothes, trying to pass herself off as
Weapons come thrown, the threat is non-existent in the air.
But what made Charles even more frustrated was that he failed to fulfill Matilda's entrustment before she left; to take care of her sister who had just given birth. He sent to find her cousin Lucien, but he missed it because of the turmoil in the streets.
The other party ended up seeing only a looted apartment.
It was not until a few days later that she was discovered by Free Army soldiers searching for contraband in the basement of an illegal tavern in a slum. She and several other women covered in bruises and filth were lying on the box, dying with only one breath left.
. It was Fran who took her in.
So today is also an opportunity for him to rise again; just like when he couldn't even pay the deposit for inheriting the title, he relied on selling off his property to live with his sister, and the process of restoring his family business and glory bit by bit; he couldn't help but think of this.
He glanced at the magnificent box above.
Maybe Fran is there, but just the short distance between upstairs and downstairs is like a natural chasm between her and him. Because she is already one of the few female courtiers in the new dynasty, and she is just one who is being treated.
The former criminals after the amnesty; only severing relations would be better for each other.
Despite this, he still couldn't help but think about, even regret and feel heartbroken, the decision to send Fran to her ancestral home in the south. He couldn't even help but think about what happened to her and what price she paid.
, to be able to become the female courtier of the Knight King.
In fact, he was secretly uneasy and troubled by Fran, whom he had been dependent on since childhood, and who still maintained attachment and excessive closeness as an adult. However, he also confirmed that she was determined to break up with him and even became the subject of ambiguous rumors.
I will feel faintly distressed and sad.
Maybe he is a man who has failed in his love life and family relationships. The next moment, he put aside many distracting thoughts and solemnly walked towards an old man who had just entered the venue; that was the chairman of the Marseille Shipping Federation and the original
One of the business groups supporting the Free Army.
After most of the bankers and financial practitioners in the capital were liquidated by the new government, the remaining market gaps and demands were naturally filled by their counterparts from the south. However, these external business organizations and groups had little influence on the local situation in the capital.
Obviously unfamiliar with the place.
This is one of the reasons why Charmin noticed it and tried to use it to rise again. Otherwise, he would never be able to support a large group of people around him by collecting rent from a building! Especially because of his guilt for his wife Charlotte
Many of them also involve the living conditions of the child who is about to be born.
Far away on the coast of Africa, Polis, who was wearing an unmarked military uniform and leaning on the railing to look out, could not help but sneeze a few times. Then he turned around and said to Joseph, who was supporting Joseph with his slightly exposed belly:
"Honey, it's windy here, let's go in!"
As the former Madame de Beauharnais, Joseph, who had taken the simple wedding oath witnessed by the priest, and now had her husband's surname of De Baz, looked at her husband with happiness and tenderness and nodded, but she didn't say anything at all.
The worries and melancholy of traveling to a foreign land...
Because as her de facto sister-in-law and former best friend, Nana now has prominent power in the new dynasty; in the brief meeting after the reunion, she gave her a solemn promise and guarantee. As long as she could live in exile in Africa,
Give birth to a child and raise it.
The firstborn, regardless of gender, can return to the country to receive specialized education after they are ten years old; and then directly inherit the family name, title and castle of their hometown of D'Artagnan when they reach adulthood. Because Nana has already transferred these ancestral properties from those with ulterior motives.
It was taken back from relatives.
Under the care of such an aunt with prominent status and power, the child's future, let alone smooth sailing, will at least be able to live a life of wealth and wealth. In this way, she can accompany her husband without any worries.
Spend the rest of your life in this overseas land.
After experiencing many misunderstandings and sorrows, and re-opening her heart, she just wanted to stay away from the Vanity Fair in the capital, which was full of open and secret intrigues, intrigues, lust and malice; a place where no one knew or cared about her past.
, start a new life again...
In the theater box above where Polis is paying attention, a corner of the scarlet velvet curtain has been gently lifted; this also means that VIPs have entered.
Madam, sitting on your right side is the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Faius.
Because, a rumor of unknown origin has just appeared recently. It is said that this former noble son from the Western Empire royal family, because of his natural role as a role model after becoming the prime minister of the kingdom, needs to rein in his unruly private life and find a formal marriage through legal marriage.
partner.
Therefore, the many lovers who had maintained close relationships with him, and even the temporary bed partners who had had romantic relationships, could not help but be tempted by him. They all tried their best to show themselves around him, even when they were sleeping with him,
All kinds of overt and covert fights are going on in private...
However, Feius's thoughts at the moment were not on these women who were trying to please him.
