Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2263 Poseidon's Winter Banquet ([-])
Many people die in shipwrecks every year, and only a few are lucky enough to be washed up on the beach by the waves.

But this does not mean that the story ends here. Dumas' father was captured by the enemy and imprisoned in prison. William Petty came to a monastery, received education there, and later became the British Chancellor of the Exchequer.

But some people have returned to their original lives. Odysseus returned to his hometown after narrowly escaping death in the stormy sea, but he still has some things to do before he can reunite with his family.Odysseus has only one son, and the suitors are about to kill him if Odysseus comes back anytime soon.

In this day and age, "it's a sad thing" is not enough to describe the loss of a man in the family.Despite the whispers at the banquet, Georgiana decided to believe him because of his own words to mourn for Leclerc.

As for the other protagonist of this "scandal", Georgiana did not intend to embarrass her. Scylla did nothing wrong, but rejected the fisherman's love. It was the witch who poisoned her bath water that turned her into a monster. .

Disfiguring the "rival in love", thinking that the lover will change his mind, this is what women often do irrationally, not to mention that Chiara herself is also under a lot of pressure.Male painters like female models very much, but they are not so friendly to fellow female painters, especially Chiara used cheating methods to get her "introduction", and they also "judged" this stunner.

Now Georgiana began to understand why Josephine formed a "human wall" to separate Bonaparte from other women. Like Odysseus, she blocked her ears with beeswax, and then she asked the band to change the music, After playing some cheerful and danceable tunes, they left the main venue after the opening dance, and then it was time for young people's activities.

Lana prepared a lounge for them, or a courtyard, with a fountain fish pond, a small table and chairs beside the fish pond, Marguerite served them drinks, and placed them in front of Georgiana. It was still tea, but Bonaparte had hot cocoa in front of him.

She wasn't so surprised that he drank whiskey, and then he drank it as if nothing had happened.

"What are you doing?" Maybe because her gaze was too aggressive, he looked at her and said.

"It's nothing." She said pretending to be indifferent.

Maybe because it's too cold, a cup of hot cocoa is a great way to refuel.

She thought to herself, trying to digest the "facts" she had just seen.

"We're leaving tomorrow, what else do you want to buy?" He said lightly.

It looks like a bad-hearted man who has done something wrong and wants to make up for it in other ways.

"unnecessary."

"Including diamonds?"

"You know I don't like jewelry."

"Not including this." He took her hand with the fire opal ring, "How about making a phoenix to keep warm?"

She took her hand back.

"According to the International Statute of Secrecy, I cannot use magic in front of Muggles."

He laughed.

"What's so funny?" she asked back.

"Some people were guessing just now, what kind of magic did you, the witch, use to punish them." He said with a smile, "People here believe that the marks left by vaccination are marks of curses."

"You let this kind of rumor continue to spread, how to promote it in the future." She complained.

"Rotterdam has already started vaccination, and the Dutch promoted it earlier than us. You don't have to worry about that." Bonaparte said lightly, "Joseph believes that kindness will win the love of the people. You have done better than him."

She was praised?
"Sometimes I wish you were a man..."

"I can do a good job as a woman," she said forcefully.

He stopped talking.

After a while, he turned his gaze to the fish pond.

"You know why the former mayor of Antwerp was sent to Paris for trial," he asked.

"Because he smuggled." Georgiana replied.

"In 1779, there was a miller named Arnold in Prussia who refused to pay the lease fee to the lord, Count Schmeeter, because the local district councilor Gersdorf developed a carp pond, cut off the water source, and allowed the mill's The waterwheel was unable to turn, thus depriving him of his livelihood and causing him to be unable to pay the rent. After the local court ruled to repossess his mill, Arnold and his wife sought help from the king himself, who at the time was King Frederick II of Prussia, He quickly issued that order to stay the execution of Arnold's sentence, but the judiciary of Kunstling's government insisted on upholding the original sentence. Frederick was very angry at this, and regarded it as a local oligarchy operation, so he ordered the case Transfer to the Higher Court of Berlin."

Georgiana was a little shocked.

"But the Berlin High Court still upheld the sentence against Arnold, and Frederick ordered the arrest of the three judges in charge of the case and imprisoned them for one year. In addition, the fish pond in Gersdorf was demolished, and Arnold's mill, which relied on water conservancy, was rebuilt , Arnold was compensated for all his losses, and this event disgraced the Prussian high-level and political circles, but the public was so excited that the king explained his actions in a national publication, stating that his purpose was to ensure that everyone No matter high or low, no matter rich or poor, under just laws, timely justice can be achieved.”

"But... Prussians are not Austrians," said Georgiana.

"Who will rule is not the point. The important thing is that the peasants believe that a wise monarch can uphold justice for them. This time I dealt with the mayor of Antwerp the same as Frederick, but I encountered resistance from the Senate and he was acquitted." released."

"It's not you, Leon, it's the High Court, and what they're interfering with is the High Court's decision," Georgiana said.

"Tell me, you trust Josephine. She approached that kid in order to eavesdrop on whether the parliament had a conspiracy against me." I keep going."

"I know about that, you told me," said Georgiana.

"It's a good thing I intercepted those letters," said Bonaparte. "That's what I want you to do."

"what's up?"

"postal."

Georgiana would have preferred telegraph, but there was no Voss code at the moment.

"Simonville, with the consent of the Dutch Directorate, was going to draft a constitution so that power would be in the hands of a trustworthy person, but Augereau stopped him." Said Bonaparte. Let the Constitution go to a referendum."

"what?"

"I remember you mentioned that if it wasn't for William III refusing the request of the wizards, you wouldn't have the International Statute of Secrecy. When he was King of England, William III was still the Grand Regent of the Netherlands. Do you know what that means? "

Georgiana looked at him in shock.

"John de Witt sounds like a French name, but he is actually Dutch. After the end of the First Anglo-Dutch War, he once signed a secret agreement with Cromwell called the "Exclusion Clause." 》, to ensure that the Netherlands will not have the Prince of Orange elected as the Regent and Supreme Commander, because the mother of Prince William III is the daughter of Charles I, and Cromwell happens to overthrow Charles and execute his enemies."

"I... I don't know what to do." Georgiana said nervously.

"I heard you say that children in England owl their letters to school, but like Hekapa sings, 'I don't believe in virgins'." He smiled and said, "Do as I told you before."

She thought about "how much the construction of the Antwerp port will cost."

"4 million, not including the fleet."

"If there is corruption..."

"That's not something you should worry about." He interrupted her. "Just as long as you can make sure the letter will be delivered."

Georgiana didn't ask about opening envelopes, it was immoral to open other people's letters.

"Need I repeat?"

"I know how to do it," she said tamely.

Now he smiled, and stretched out his hand to hold her hand, "Think about what you want to buy. We won't pass through a bustling city like Antwerp on the return trip, and we won't be able to buy anything when we want to."
