Time flies, and two days are fleeting.In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the dance.

Thanks to Mrs. Rebecca's supervision, Tausig was well dressed even without a vintage dress or the most fashionable knickerbockers.Coupled with his exotic appearance, and the temperament Mrs. Rebecca has cultivated with great effort, even if he is said to be the young son of a big noble family, people will believe him.

Who would have thought that a few months ago, he was just the bottom type of person in society?

Appearing at the ball after Lady Rebecca, their presence was unnoticed by anyone.

Covering her cheeks with a fan, Mrs. Rebecca, who was standing in the corner with Tausig, explained to Tausig in a low voice, who should be careful not to offend, who should just know, and who Should be alienated.

"Look at that man, that is the man with the big beard. He is the Earl of Acheson. Although the Earl is fierce and aggressive, as long as you have a sincere friendship with him, he is still a good friend."

"Standing beside Earl Acheson is His Excellency Marquis Henry. Do you think he looks very kind, and he should be a very gentle and easy-to-talk person?" While speaking, Mrs. Rebecca glanced lightly at Tausig .

"Ah."

"Remember, Your Excellency the Marquis, as long as you have a casual acquaintance with him, he is not a good person. If you can, don't offend him easily. He is the most petty person."

"Oh?"

"Of course, because he's disguised so well, most people don't know it."

Tausig really wanted to ask, even if no one else knew, how did she know, but in the end Tausig didn't ask, who doesn't have a secret yet.

"Oh, my God, it seems that His Excellency Earl Acheson is going to be unlucky, um, if possible, stay away from that Lord Acheson!" Mrs. Rebecca whispered in amazement as Mrs. Earl and Mr. Marquis Henry saw something.

Then, she hurriedly warned Tausig.

Was he supposed to say that Lady Rebecca was a woman?

Sure enough, no matter how serious this woman is on weekdays, do all women like gossip?

Because this woman is not only very smart, but also has good eyesight.

"Your Excellency Tausig, do you see the most gorgeously dressed woman standing in the middle of the men?" Mrs. Rebecca said again after slightly changing her posture.

"Yes, I saw it, Mrs. Rebecca." Following the direction Mrs. Rebecca was looking at, and seeing the person Mrs. Rebecca was pointing at, Tausig leaned slightly and whispered.

"Stay away from that woman." Madam Rebecca's status as a nobleman prevented her from uttering harsh words, but she could still see her dislike for that woman from the disgusted eyes she looked at that woman.

"Yes, ma'am." Tausig said respectfully.

"Hmph, don't think that I'm jealous of that woman's beauty, that's why I slander her. I admit that most women are jealous of that woman's appearance, but..." Madam Rebecca paused here He looked at Tausig with sharp eyes.

"Your Excellency like you, the lady you fall in love with, should be gentle and kind."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Tausig was very curious about what that woman did to make Mrs. Rebecca so disgusted and wary.

Seeing Tausig's curiosity, Mrs. Rebecca, who looked away from Tausig, turned her gaze back to the woman.

"Although she loves all kinds of men, what she likes the most is you, a noble young master who has just entered the social world, but those who are confused by that woman will not end well, so Tausig Your Excellency, please keep your heart and don't be tempted by her."

"Okay, Mrs. Rebecca, I will definitely remember your warning, Madam." What Mrs. Rebecca wanted to say was that the other party was a 'black widow' type of woman!

As for being confused by the other party...

What, didn't he say it?

He is not interested in women.

Of course, I'm not very interested in men.

"Well, good boy." How could it be impossible to tell whether Tausig was telling the truth or a lie, a smile flickered on Mrs. Rebecca's lips.

This is also the reason why she likes Tausig.

Who doesn't like this kind of little guy who listens to people's persuasion, is humble, studious, self-respecting and self-loving.

At least she likes it very much.

"Mr. Tausig, please look at my left hand..." After telling Tausig about a few notable characters, Mrs. Rebecca suddenly said: "That Mr. Sheila is really not simple. .”

The moment Mrs. Rebecca heard Sheila's name, she subconsciously followed Mrs. Rebecca's eyes and looked at Sheila standing beside Nabarro. Tausig raised his eyebrows without showing any signs.

Of course it's not easy, the other party is a vampire.

"Etiquette, temperament, and the demeanor when he attended the ball for the first time... No, is it really his first time to attend the ball?" Without waiting or needing Tausig's answer, Mrs. Rebecca continued to mutter road.

First time at prom?

Who did Lady Rebecca hear that the fellow was at the ball for the first time?

He didn't think it was the first time that a man who had lived for so many years was attending a ball.

Presumably that man has long been tired of attending such a dance!

"This man is not simple." Mrs. Rebecca finally concluded.

She has heard of Sheila a little bit, but Mrs. Rebecca has never been in contact with Sheila, and today is the first time she has observed Sheila so closely.

How could such a person be just a painter?

Of course, he is not the flattering villain who is popular because of Lord Nabarro.

"If you can, Mr. Tausig, please don't give up making friends with him." Seeing that Sheila noticed her gaze, raised her glass and smiled at her, and nodded slightly to her, Mrs. Rebecca whispered to Tausig road.

Tausig: "?"

"Our Her Majesty the Queen will not favor someone just because of her favorite minister's recommendation and a few flattering words. But this friend of yours has managed to win Her Majesty's favor." Didn't miss Tao The doubt in Seeger's eyes, Mrs. Rebecca, who was angry with him, gave him a hard look and explained to him.

That scum was no friend of his.

Well, it was his focus that was wrong.

"And not only has he won the favor of Her Majesty the Queen, but he is also not the puppet of Lord Nabarro. That is to say, you won't suffer from being friends with him. If you work harder, through him, your family will have great potential." May be restored to its former glory."

What I have to say here is that Mrs. Rebecca is a very qualified nobleman.Not only is she proud of being an aristocrat, but she also values ​​her aristocratic status very much. This is why she does everything possible to help Tausig and restore her noble status.

Then, Mrs. Rebecca's concern hidden under the admonition also hit Tausig's heart like a knowing blow, making him silently cover his chest in his heart.

it hurts.

His conscience was tortured.

that………

If he tells Mrs. Rebecca now that he is not only not a nobleman, but also has no family, will Mrs. Rebecca...

Oops, it's scary just thinking about it.

So even for the sake of his own life, he will continue to lie in good faith.

Terrified in his heart, but calm on his face, Tausig nodded slightly to Mrs. Rebecca, expressing that he would definitely remember what he said to her, and Tausig's "obedience" also made Rebecca Madam Ka nodded in satisfaction.

Then, Mrs. Rebecca, who was in a good mood, said again: "Although the people I told you earlier are important, you don't need to pay too much attention to them, but there is one person you want to..."

He stopped before he finished speaking, and there were others who stopped talking like Mrs. Rebecca, and they all turned their eyes to the entrance by coincidence.

Walking in the forefront at the first, it was the appearance of this person that attracted everyone's attention, and made everyone subconsciously hold their breath and keep their mouths shut.

As far as this world is concerned, this person's stature is not high, but despite his low stature, he is very imposing. His black hair and silver-gray eyes make this person even more sharp.

Unlike the focus of everyone's attention, Tausig finally set his sights on the man's black hair.

Isn't this what Nabarro once told him, that scum of Sheila's favorite black hair?

Now there is a good show to watch.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at Sheila and Nabarro. Tausig really lived up to expectations and looked at Nabarro's ugly face and Sheila's amazing eyes.

His guess was right, and there was indeed a good show to watch.

Standing next to Sheila, how could he not notice the astonishment in Sheila's eyes at that moment, Nabarro's face changed and he held the wine glass in his hand vigorously, and he said in a low voice, "Do you know who he is?"

"Who is it?" Sheila asked casually, looking back at the wine glass in her hand.

"Duke Beardsley." Nabarro said lightly, loosening his grip on the wine glass.

"Oh~~~~~? So it's him." Hearing that the other party was the Duke of Beardsley, he paused for a moment, turned his eyes to the man again——Hila of the Duke of Beardsley, and said with a light smile.

Then, as if remembering something, Sheila touched the wine glass in Nabarro's hand lightly with the wine glass in her hand: "Don't worry, I will not destroy your plan."

Nabarro was overjoyed and said, "Really?"

"Oh, of course it's true, you are more important than him." Sheila smiled lightly as she pressed her lips to Nabarro's ear as if to whisper.

Then the words "you are more important than him" were like an electric shock hitting Nabarro's heart directly, making him like a plant moistened by sunshine and rain in spring, his whole body exuded joy, the way he looked at Sheila It was so tender that it almost dripped water.

Although he couldn't hear the voices of Sheila and Nabarro, he could guess what they were talking about from their expressions. Tausig, who looked away, thought silently in his heart.

That guy Sheila is really scumbag.

He really felt sorry for the man.

Thought so, but did not show anything on his face, Tausig silently withdrew his sympathetic gaze towards Nabarro.

Silly boy, you must have been deceived again.

"Do you know who that person is?" Mrs. Rebecca suddenly asked, not knowing the 'bloody storm' between Nabarro and Sheila, or Tausig, an outsider and theatergoer's expressionless gloating face. .

Tausig: "Who?"

Lady Rebecca: "He is the Duke Beardsley I was about to tell you about."

Tausig: "So it was him."

It turned out that he was the "legendary" brother of the previous king who failed to compete with Her Majesty the Queen for the throne but was unwilling to fail, and the uncle of the current Queen - Grand Duke Beardsley.

Didn't it mean that the Duke of Beardsley is over 40 years old now?

Why do you look like you are in your early thirties?

Sweeping at Duke Beardsley's handsome and fierce young face who seemed to be in his early thirties, Tausig once again paid attention to the wrong point.

Mrs. Rebecca: "Yes, that's him."

Having said that, she paused for a moment, and Mrs. Rebecca, who half-covered her cheeks with a fan, had a serious look on her face.

"This Grand Duke is not a very easy person to deal with. He has always been ruthless in dealing with things, and because he is the most loyal believer of the church, he is relied on by the church, so if possible, try not to appear in front of him, even if it is absolutely necessary. , and try not to draw his attention."

If Tausig was just an ordinary prince who had just entered society, of course she would not educate him in this way, she would only order him not to participate in the struggle between the Queen and the Grand Duke.

Unfortunately, Tausig is not.

Sheila was recruited into the palace by Nabarro, Her Majesty's favorite and most loyal servant of the Queen.

Tausig is also Sheila's assistant, even though he did not clearly state that he was on the Queen's side, he was already considered by the Duke Beardsley's side to be on Her Majesty's side.

So this battle, once he caught the attention of the grand duke, he would be doomed to fall into this dispute.

Unless their Majesty the Queen wins, otherwise, it's hard to say what will happen to him.

Even if Her Majesty wins in the end, before Her Majesty wins, he is likely to become a victim. After all, he is just an assistant of an ordinary painter, isn't he?

As for her?

She doesn't belong to any of their factions.

How could she, an upright, rigid, impersonal, harsh old woman, get involved in such a thing?

Because of the appearance of the Grand Duke Beardsley, the dance hall was instantly quiet, and the buzzing sound resounded again. People, the nobles who came in behind the Grand Duke also dispersed into the crowd.

Talking, joking, flattering, admiring, self-satisfied, and proud, with the integration of the Duke Beardsley, everyone once again showed their own characteristics, and the Duke Beardsley seemed to be the same from the beginning to the end. It's like being in a dance hall, making the ripples caused by him disappear invisible.

After waiting for a while.

"Her Majesty is here."

The voice of the attendants made the humming ball hall fall into silence again, and it was even quieter than when the Grand Duke Beardsley appeared. Everyone turned to look at the front of the ball hall, waiting for Her Majesty's call. Appear.

The fiery red hair is coiled up high, and not only are there brightly colored feathers on it, but there are also many gorgeous jewels.

Wearing an equally gorgeous crimson dress, with pleats at the neckline, the waist is narrowed and the skirt is high and fluffy, but both the pleats and the skirt are decorated with gorgeous gemstones and pearls.

It stands to reason that wearing this dress on a woman should make that woman look very bloated, or overwhelmed by the overwhelming presence of gorgeous gemstones all over her body.

But this Her Majesty, instead of being overwhelmed by this dress and the gorgeous jewels on her body, it seemed that this Her Majesty the Queen was more noble and dazzling.

I thought that Her Majesty the Queen, who was used as a puppet by Nabarro, should be a soft and beautiful person, but today, Tausig found out that Her Majesty the Queen is not a soft and beautiful person. Instead of being weak, she should be very Those who are thoughtful and have an idea are right.

But how could such a person become Nabarro's puppet?

This is really weird.

Because of Sheila's relationship, Tausig had seen Her Majesty from a distance, but had never observed Her Majesty's face so closely as today, so it was the first time he saw Her Majesty, How could you not be surprised.

The way everyone subconsciously gave way to the front of the ballroom, Her Majesty the Queen didn't talk nonsense, but after a slight nod to everyone, she announced that the ball was about to start.
