Queen and Her Duke

The three counties of the Sutherland Heights were once the territory of the Wenlin family.

It was once known as the strongest Great Wall in the northern part of Golan, but 20 years ago, the Wen Lin family with rich heritage collapsed overnight like a snow mountain because of treason.

The helm of the family, Haradel Wenlin, was also hunted down by the Holy See and the royal family of Golan to death after two years of exile at sea.

The only survivors in the entire castle were the crew on the Wenlin Liberty, plus she had only 21 people.

Wen Lin learned from the old man's mouth that the conviction was very sudden and strange, without any warning.

When Lord Sutherland and his wife were going to the capital to pay tribute, the royal cavalry suddenly appeared on Sutherland Heights.

After they entered the defensive fortress, they began to slaughter without warning.

In the end, the news about the treason of the Wen Lin family spread throughout every county in Golan in just a few days.

As time passed, the Wen Lin family was gradually forgotten in people's memory.

Until now, the Holy See and the royal family are still searching for traces of the orphan of the Wen Lin family.

The identity of the orphan of the traitor is the bargaining chip for Tilia to blackmail her.

In a sense, Vicia and Wen Lin are feuds, so Wen Lin's identity must not be exposed in Golan until it is enough to protect herself.

There seemed to be a terrifying coolness climbing up the spine, piercing directly into Wen Lin's forehead, and she suddenly woke up.

After quickly adjusting her mood, Wen Lin replied with a cold face, "Mrs. Wormien, compared to worrying about my identity being exposed, your sudden visit to Golan is obviously more suspicious."

"Queen Golan is cautious and suspicious. You don't have to worry. The more we have contact with you, the more she will trust you." Wormien smiled indifferently. Before coming, she had already imagined the reactions of all parties. ,

After thinking for a moment, Wormien covered her worried face with a feather fan, lowered her voice,

"His Majesty Tilia's condition has become uncontrollable, I have to increase the dose, tonight, in the middle room on the third floor of Kingston Palace,"

It was a strong command tone, and Wen Lin silently watched Wormien walk back to her place.

Queen Tilia, who was at the top, was also observing what was going on here. She looked at Wen Lin calmly and blinked mischievously.

Thinking of the shrewd and calculating Mrs. Wormien falling into the hands of the seemingly innocent and harmless Tilia, Wen Lin couldn't help but sigh with empathy.

Feeling refreshed all of a sudden, Wen Lin slowly returned to her seat with the melodious ending of the music.

Visia had finished her first dance, and was talking eagerly with the Sistine mission.

As soon as they sat down, the ladies who finished the dance music came to sit around. They couldn't hide their novelty and astonishment, and they stared at Wen Lin in a daze.

"Guest from the East, you probably don't know how to dance our country's dance,"

It was just pure curiosity and inquiry, without any malice, Wen Lin also responded in a friendly manner, "No, if there is a chance, I am very willing to learn,"

This is just an excuse to open up the conversation. Wen Lin's appearance is cold but not cold, so it is not easy for women to develop ill will towards the same sex.

After feeling Wen Lin's friendliness, the ladies asked questions one after another,

"Did you cross the sea to the Golan alone?"

"Do all the women in the East have such great power as you?"

"What is silk made of?"

"How long does it take to get to the Golan by boat from your country?"

There are also many questions about Wen Lin's identity,

"How can you, a woman, be allowed to cross the sea?"

"Did you come with any family? Is there any proof of what you said?"

The answer is of course no, how Wen Lin got here, she doesn't even know.

Making up some excuses as reasonable as possible, Wen Lin talked about it, and finally dealt with these problems one by one.

The perfumes on the ladies' bodies were very strong, and Wen Lin felt dizzy when she was wrapped in it.

In a daze, Wen Lin found that Visia seemed to be watching her with a slight smile, her heart trembled suddenly, and when she looked again, she found that she had turned her head and was talking to Tilia.

Wen Lin lowered her eyelashes lightly, thinking about how to get out.

At this moment, someone noticed the rosy gloss on Wen Lin's lips.

Immediately, they began to chat with each other again, "Miss Wen Lin, is this the oriental lipstick? The color is different from what we use,"

Lipstick made with cinnabar powder is uniform red, and women here like to apply it thickly, so everyone's lips look bright red.

It was the first time they saw the soft-colored lip balm, and they were faintly envious.

Shaking her head helplessly, Wen Lin replied, "No, it's a lipstick made from roses from Golan. If you like it, I can tell you how to make it."

Those who can come to this dinner are all the family members of Golan's powerful officials. If they can make a good impression in their hearts, Wen Lin is of course very happy.

Soon someone came over with a quill and paper, Wen Lin took it, and wrote more than a dozen lip balm recipes in one breath, distributed them to those who needed them, and at the same time noted the precautions at the bottom.

In noble mansions, there are usually many servants ready to meet the master's needs at all times. It should not be difficult to make a fixed amount every day.

Wen Lin wrote Golan's characters very smoothly, and at the same time, the strokes of the pen also faintly carried the traces of writing Chinese characters.

As a result, the handwriting on the paper looks very strange, but also very pleasing to the eye and harmonious.

At this time, the noble ladies looked at Wen Lin completely differently. If Wen Lin really came from a country in the far east, she would be very familiar with Golan's writing.

Then she must be a child of a great noble family, and only a great noble family has enough wealth to hire teachers who specialize in teaching foreign languages.

And guessing from the conversation, Wen Lin seems to know more than that. For a knowledgeable noble woman, the young noble ladies are very enthusiastic.

They threw out olive branches one after another, inviting Wen Lin to visit their mansion when they were free.

Inadvertently, Wen Lin stole the limelight at this banquet.

And the neglected noble gentlemen seemed a little dissatisfied, Earl Russell found the right time to intervene,

"Why do women know so much? There is a saying in the scriptures that women do not have the natural ability to draw logical conclusions*1. You just need to be submissive to men."

The noble ladies and noble ladies fell silent immediately. They looked at each other, avoiding Russell's proud gaze as if in fear.

Earl Russell is the eldest son of the Duke of Sax, and the Sax family, which owns three rich counties, has its own army. At the same time, their family is accustomed to adapting to the wind, so they are quite favored by the Queen.

Among the members of the Queen's appointed Privy Council, the Duke of Sax is the only minister who believes in the Catholic Church, so everyone naturally has to be more tolerant of Earl Russell.

Wen Lin didn't answer, she looked at Russell calmly without saying a word.
