After accepting the invitation of the Duke of Orleans, Simond arrived at the Duke of Orleans' house on time on September 30th. Facing Simond's arrival, the Duke of Orleans put on a grand welcome. Not only did he arrange his
His son, the Duke of Sarthe, greeted him at the gate of the palace, and he himself stood on the steps at the entrance of the palace to wait for Simond with his whole family.
Simond, who got off the carriage, felt a little uneasy when he saw this posture. He quickly walked to the Duke of Orleans, bowed and saluted and said:
"Your Majesty the Duke is too kind. How can I accept such a grand welcome from you?"
Before Simond could finish his words, the Duke of Orleans immediately raised his arms to help Simond, who was about to bend down.
"Sir Simond, you are so polite. I am very touched that you can come here to see me. Besides, as the biggest contributor to quelling the riots in Paris, you deserve such a grand welcome from me, haha...
..”
As he said that, the Duke of Orleans burst out laughing, but Simond couldn't smile at all. Although the Duke of Orleans' words sounded like a compliment to Simond, Simond knew that if he accepted it calmly,
It wouldn't be good if it reached other people's ears.
The words of the Duke of Orleans obviously buried a big hole for Simond, that is, the sentence "the biggest contributor to putting down the riots in Paris". Everyone knows who can be called the biggest contributor to putting down the riots in Paris, and now the Duke of Orleans
Never mention that person, although Simond would be secretly happy about it, but he knew that he must not show it. After all, this would undoubtedly create an enemy for himself for no reason.
"Your Excellency, Duke of Orleans, you are wrong. The biggest contributor to the pacification of the mob this time was not me. Although I also played a role in it, all of this was under the command of the wise Queen.
opportunity to perform, and it was Brigadier General Napoleon who made the greatest effort."
Although he had been threatened by Napoleon, Simond would not stand against Napoleon because of this. Moreover, Mary's feelings for Napoleon were not comparable to Simond's, and he knew this well.
Seeing that Simond was not fooled, the Duke of Orleans was not discouraged. On the contrary, only if Simond accepted the praise of the Duke of Orleans calmly would Orléans despise him in his heart.
"Come on, let's talk after we go in. This time, Sir Simond can really make the Royal Palace shine..."
With that said, Simond and Orleans walked into the Duke's palace politely to each other while being greeted by the Duke of Orleans' family.
After the two men were seated and the attendants served snacks and drinks, the Duke of Orleans, except for his son the Duke of Chart, ordered everyone else to leave the room.
"This time Your Excellency Simond was able to take over the First Army and the city defense of Paris, which is really what everyone expected! You must know that there are only a handful of such examples in the history of France. I would like to first congratulate Your Excellency Simond!"
"Haha, all of this depends on the love shown to me by His Majesty the King and Her Royal Highness the Queen. I am also very flattered!"
Seeing that there were only himself and Orleans and his son in the room, Simond pretended not to know and asked:
"Why are there no other guests today? Could it be that His Excellency the Duke only invited me?"
"Of course. In order to thank you for quelling the riots in time so that we can regain peace and a happy life, this time I just invited you to be a guest, bang bang..."
As he spoke, the Duke of Orleans clapped his hands. Just after Orleans clapped his hands, a graceful figure suddenly appeared from behind the screen placed in the palace. This figure slowly walked over carrying a tray.
When Simond saw this figure, he instantly felt that what was standing in front of him was the center of the world. At this moment, Simond's eyes could no longer accommodate anything else.
When the figure came closer, she turned out to be a beauty. She had long chestnut hair and a delicate oval face that made her look so charming. Her big blue eyes made people feel like they were seeing a clear spring.
Her cherry-like lips make people want to taste the fragrance in their mouths every day, and her facial features are like jewels adorning her face. The white dress makes the beauty's figure even more graceful.
Simond stared straight at the beauty, actually looking a little dazed.
"Hello, Sir Simond"
After the beauty walked up to Simond, a burst of fragrant wind came over her face. This made Simond's somewhat sluggish brain start to work again.
"Hello, beautiful lady, I'm really sorry for being absent-minded just now, but how did you know that I'm here?"
Simond was a little puzzled as to why this young lady knew his name. He was certain that he had never met this girl before. Otherwise, her beautiful face alone would have been enough for Simond to remember her.
in my mind.
"Your Excellency Simond, you are a great hero who put down the riots. Although I have never met you, I have heard about your deeds many times. This time, Your Excellency the Duke invited you to come. I specially begged Your Excellency the Duke for a long time before the Duke allowed you to come."
You promised to let me see you."
As she said this, the beauty looked at Simond with some resentment in her eyes and with expectation. When Simond heard this, he quickly turned his eyes to the Duke of Orleans.
Seeing the way Simond looked at him, the Duke of Orleans smiled slightly and said:
"Nia, Sir Simond, I have brought him to you, but you must also show your sincerity."
As he spoke, the Duke of Orleans' eyes became somewhat meaningful. When the Duke said this, Nia looked at the Duke of Orleans with an angry look, then smiled at Simond and said:
"Your Excellency Simond, although this is the first time Nia and you have met, I have admired you for a long time before this. This time, in order to thank you for protecting us people during the riots, my family and I will also
All the nobles in Paris who are grateful to you have specially prepared a gift. I hope you can give it to me."
As she spoke, Nia held the tray with one hand and uncovered a red square scarf covering the tray with the other hand.
Simond's eyes have been following Nia's movements. It's not because of anything else but that Nia's white and tender little hands seem to have magic power, which makes Simond want to hold them in his hands and play with them every day.
Looking at Simond's wolf-like gaze, the Duke of Orleans felt proud, but then he felt a little heartbroken. If it was for the plan in his heart, he would not take Nia out. You must know that Nia is here
At the age of three, she was taken into the palace for training by the then Duke of Orleans. After that, Nia stood out from the nearly 100 people in that year, both in appearance and behavior. You must know that those nearly 100 people were all beautiful women.
In fact, girls like Nia have been cultivated in the past dynasties. Basically, every generation of Duke of Orleans will send people to observe some beautiful embryos across the country. If they have potential, they will be connected to Royal through various means.
palace.
Such girls once dominated Russia in later generations. Their codenames were "Swallows". These swallows made great contributions to the Soviet Union and later Russia. They can definitely be called national heroes, but of course they are also shady.
Originally, the Duke of Orleans was planning to give this beauty to Louis XVI. However, although he also seized the opportunity to let Louis XVI meet Nia, Louis XVI was not very interested in this beauty.
After seeing such a result, the Duke of Orleans even maliciously wondered if there was something wrong with Louis XVI's lower body.
In fact, to be honest, maybe Louis XVI can be called mediocre, but it can never be called debauched. Whether compared to his grandfather Louis XV or compared to his ancestor Louis XIV, Louis XVI can be called
He is a dedicated and devoted man.
After witnessing the failure in dealing with Louis XVI, the Duke of Charté once asked his father for Nia, but was rejected by Orleans. In Orleans' view, a Nia who remained a virgin was the most valuable, and
There must be a sufficient price in exchange for such a precious body.
And now, in Simond, the Duke of Orleans undoubtedly saw something extremely important to him, so he was willing to take Nia out. If Simond was willing, the Duke of Orleans would not mind handing Nia to Simond.
But the key is that Simond can afford the price that makes Orljian move!
What was placed on the tray was a key. Simond was a little puzzled when he saw this thing. He saw the Duke of Orleans approaching Simond's ear with a mysterious smile.
"This key belongs to a manor outside Paris. The scenery of that manor is very beautiful. Nia often goes there for vacation every year."
As he spoke, the Duke of Orleans sat up straight, still looking at Simond with a smile on his face.
Orleans' words made Simond's heart flutter, especially the sentence about Nia often going on vacation every year, which made Simond's heart even more uneasy.
Although Simond is not very lustful, women undoubtedly have a fatal attraction for men, especially beautiful women. Even if they cannot be touched, just taking a look at her is enough to make people's blood boil.
Simond is a normal man, he also likes beautiful women, and Nia is undoubtedly a very beautiful girl. As a time-tested nobleman, how could Simond not understand what the Duke of Orleans just said?
What's going on, but he can't make a decision yet.
Simond swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said with some difficulty:
"I accept the kindness of Miss Nia and His Excellency the Duke with my heart, but I am really well-deserved for such an important gift!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com)
