The Happy Life of a Duchess

After getting off the dance floor, Adele was still not very happy.

Because of this accident, she also said less in the second half.

Fortunately, although Count Garcia is flirtatious, he is still very reasonable and understands women. He did not intend to force her to speak, but he found some topics by himself, so that the two of them would not be too embarrassed. He forced a smile on his face and didn't embarrass her.

What made Adele irritated was that the son of the baron took advantage of the actions of the baron, and he could completely presume that he didn't pay attention. Without anyone witnessing it, it seemed that she was too fussy.

The most annoying thing is that the other party has made an affectionate character. I'm afraid that if he really wants to pursue the other party, he will stick to it like a dog's skin plaster.

Yes, that's right, if a gentleman expresses that he likes a certain lady, many of his behaviors can be forgiven, and everyone will smile knowingly as an expression of affection, not Someone really went online to pursue this matter, except for the bitterness and helplessness in the hearts of the women involved——

From the perspective of others, this is a matter that can be understood.This is the favoritism created by social rules.

Adele doesn't want to have anything to do with such a greasy guy at all, and he has no doubt that if he really makes a serious topic, the other party will probably do everything possible She, at that time, will suffer only from Adele, who is alone, a noble lady who fully meets his standards, is rich, has status, and has no other brothers to entangle her.

She had heard such news before, but she never thought that such a thing would happen to herself one day——

A rich lady who is regarded by others as a rich lady who can marry and go home and earn a lot of money for nothing.

This kind of thing will only be regarded as one of the anecdotes of men, just a small embellishment on lace, but it is a very bad blow to a woman's reputation.

Although men and women in this era often lead a very dissolute life, it is still not a good thing to have such a reputation before they get married. At least many people will consider this factor when choosing a wife.

Adele completely believes that she is not his first target. He must have done a similar one before, and he can't help but fall in love at first sight. There should be related gossip, but he is a man, not like a lady. He needs to care about his own reputation, and the most important thing is that he has a mother with a decent status.

Adele was restless, thinking about how to teach this annoying guy a lesson, and took a glass of red wine and sipped it.

"Morgana, what's the matter?" She also saw that Morgana, who just got off the dance floor like her, was a little embarrassed, and she looked very uncomfortable.

"Just now..." Morgana hesitated to speak, her expression was full of displeasure, but due to various scruples, they couldn't show it even if they were unhappy, so they had to suppress themselves and show a social smile.

Morgana is obviously not good enough in this aspect, so that the expression she reveals looks a bit nondescript, full of embarrassment and embarrassment.

"Which... son of the baron?"

Adele asked vaguely.

"..." Morgana nodded and added, "Miss Sophie Barry's partner..."

"He kept talking about... he was attracted by your appearance, fell in love with you at first sight, and then asked a lot about you, and said that he also knew some news about you through Miss Barry. I am very happy to be able to talk to you You get into a group and dance and all that."

Adele frowned in disgust, she was really tired of this tone.

At first, she was worried about whether she was thinking too much, but she didn't expect that this person really had such dirty and disgusting thoughts.

"But I didn't say anything, don't worry."

Morgana misunderstood Adele's frowning and quickly explained to her.

"It's disgusting..." Adele muttered softly, and Morgana nodded in approval.

His appearance couldn't be more hypocritical. If he sincerely likes him, how can he think of taking advantage of morality to kidnap someone, and it may even affect the other person's reputation.

"That man... is just so disgusting."

It was Mademoiselle Leopoldina Hugo who was speaking. She had just come from the tea party on the other side, and she might have arranged for her little sister Adele to play there.

Leo and Morgana didn't know each other yet, they were introduced by Adele, they saluted each other, and greeted each other.

Seeing that both of them were curious, Leo didn't hesitate, anyway, she was tired of that person.

"It's not all due to him having such a good mother." She waved her hand speechlessly, "Although the title of nobility is much easier to obtain than before, it may not be the same due to different ways and reasons for the title of nobility. It's not as good as it seems."

"For example," she scanned around and pointed vaguely, "you see that one, that one is from an officer's family, and their husband was finally made a baron after retiring from the army, but Because of her military background, she is more 'real' than the hereditary countess next to her."

"Look, that's why... It sounds like the earl is taller than the baron, but in fact there are some subtle discrepancies, which really make everyone think about it, and they will think more of the lady on the baron's side."

"What do you mean?" Morgana still didn't quite understand, but Adele understood her hint, and Leo was not angry, and still smiled and covered his speaking movements with a handkerchief, and explained to the two in a low voice.

"That is to say, that Pluke, the son of the annoying baron, the future baron, although he is really... very trashy and ordinary, and the title of the baron is not high, but in fact the status of this baron still has some weight , can stand shoulder to shoulder with the earl, and the other thing is that the baron married a good wife, so it directly elevates the status of Pluke as an idiot."

"Of course, if it wasn't for the baron's status, some connections in the family, and the fact that the family was wealthy, their family wouldn't be able to marry the prince's illegitimate daughter." She waved her handkerchief wordlessly.

"Didn't you hear what he boasted? Of course it doesn't matter if you didn't. He always said this at every dance..."

"The baron has the blood of the Bourbon family. I don't know if it's true or not. I'm not interested in finding out whether he gave himself money again. Anyway, that's what their family claims... As for the mother, it's a certain generation of Prussians. The prince's daughter is right, the main thing is that the baroness has a good sister."

"As you know, the king's illegitimate daughters may not be recognized as princesses. If they want to recognize their identities, they can only be married as princesses if they marry a high enough noble. It will be recognized, otherwise it is really just an illegitimate daughter."

"This baroness was not actually married as a princess, nor did she have a high enough reputation, but it is known that her sister was married as a princess to the son of a certain Russian grand duke, which means that her sister is a princess, so the same Although the mother and the same father are illegitimate daughters, she can barely get a little bit of glory. Of course, everyone can only pinch their noses to recognize her if she wants to give herself such a gold. It's just that she was not recognized as a princess, but as a princess She married in the identity of the mother's family who was the prince's lover."

In this way, both of them understand, that is to say, whether Mr. Prouker's status is high or low.

This is indeed what he looks like in his name, but in fact it cannot be said that his aristocratic blood is not good, it is just so high and low.

"So, he needs a wife with a good enough status?"

As soon as Morgana said it, Leo gave her a very approving look. She clapped her hands and nodded.

"That's right, he also pursued me at the very beginning, but I coldly rejected him, and he didn't publicize this matter. Later, he realized his 'responsibility'..." Her voice was full of sarcasm, "So I started He changed his thinking and looked for noble ladies with a small population in each family, perhaps because he felt that simple ladies were easier to fool."

"The first one," she said with a flick of her eyes, pointed to another lady, "that is the captain's wife, the only daughter of the duke's family. She almost got it. Fortunately, the duke's family found out. Quick, arrange to marry a captain right away..."

"Isn't that right? Is he going to change his target?" She mocked bitterly, her eyes were full of indifference, thinking of something, Miss Leo quickly reminded Adele.

"Don't be fooled, you can't have a man like this."

Adele nodded affirmatively at first, and then finally couldn't help it, and told the two of them what happened on the dance floor just now.

It's really disgusting, and the two girls also showed sincere sympathy and looked disgusted at the same time.

This guy always likes to pretend to be a lover, as if he is really a gentleman who sincerely pursues perfect love, but he is really a man who can't be more hypocritical, and he doesn't have the ability to pretend to be a wanderer. Being able to make such a disgusting appearance is really disgusting.

"And, he's actually a pretty mean guy."

"If there are so many merits, I'm afraid there will be lovers who are willing to exchange benefits with him. However, he is actually very stingy, so there are really not many people who are willing to make friends with him."

"If that's the case, then why does Miss Sophie Barry still want to be with him..."

Morgana found something that no one had noticed before.

"I really know this question."

Miss Leo smiled mysteriously, looked at the expressions and attitudes of the two of them, and raised her brows a little complacently.

"Good friend, tell me quickly." Adele immediately showed a curious look, and begged her to tell her by shaking her arm. She and Morgana are both newcomers, so of course it is impossible to know the secret.

Morgana also wanted to know the gossip, but she was soon invited to dance. Seeing that annoying guy Pruc walked straight towards Adele, Adele and Leo looked at each other and pulled each other tacitly. Hold each other's arms.

"Let's go, let's talk to the archdeacon, let's dance together." Leo said loudly on purpose.

"Okay, of course there is no problem, I am looking forward to it." Adele was very supportive.

The two girls walked past the self-righteous guy arm in arm.

The man thought he was handsome with a stiff smile on his face.
