Until I marry Jin Jingling
Chapter 68 068
After that coronation, the king returned to Paris.The night at the Palace of Versailles is still full of lantern riddles, endless banquets, and endless entertainment.
Louis Capet stood on the balcony, holding red wine in his hand, and the baroness kneeling in front of him moved her head back and forth.
It was obviously such an intimate gesture, but Louis' eyebrows and eyes were extremely indifferent. After he reached the peak, he pretended to caress the baroness's cheek affectionately, "Thank you, my lady."
The baroness also wanted to have some tenderness with Louis. She was a mistress who was not recognized by the king. If she could be taken by the king to appear in public, her status would definitely be raised to a higher level.
But Louis glanced at the whole garden, and the view here was very good.He could see the gardens of Versailles without being noticed by those people.
Obviously, the banquet was only halfway through, but at this moment, the garden was already full of cheating nobles.
The Duchess of Champagne lay beneath the Baron Marcel, while his husband lifted up his maid's skirt in the next grove.
Louis turned around and handed the wine glass to the attendant.When the baroness saw that the king was leaving, she immediately grabbed his hand and said softly, "Your Majesty, won't you take me with you?"
The man's brows and eyes were full of indifference, and he nodded slightly, "The view from the balcony is very good, so I won't bother you."
The baroness's expression changed, she stepped forward to stop her, but was fixed in place by Louis' eyes.
After Louis left, the woman punched the deputy on the balcony angrily.
On the way to the banquet hall, nobles came forward to chat with each other from time to time.Louis put on a slightly alienated politeness on top of his face, but in fact he was already tired of the guests coming and going.
It was Cecilia from the Boleyn family who was winking just now, her blond hair looked dry even with pomade.
The one who invited him to dance was Anna from the Bossi family, her green eyes were opaque, just like rotten dirty water in a pond.
The countess who introduced the guests to him was not bad, with blond hair and green eyes, but she was reddish all over, and there was green grass around her skirt, she looked like she had just rolled around on the grass of the Palace of Versailles with her lover.As soon as he thought of this, Louis felt that he had no interest.
Just as he was thinking about this, a few noble men beside him were whispering about something.
"My father is a bit regretful. If I propose to Gloria before the Duke of Anjou dies, then I can inherit the land of Anjou now."
"You are daydreaming. Whether in the past or now, it seems that the only people who can match Gloria are princes and kings from other countries."
"Prince? Do you think His Majesty the King won't get in the way? If Gloria marries those British guys, then our land will be polluted by the British. I don't want to see such a scene happen."
and many more……
Suddenly, Louis felt that he should be awakened.
He quickly returned to his study, took out the letter paper sprayed with rose fragrance, and wrote the first sentence:
Dear Gloria.
"News from today?" Gloria raised her eyebrows. She entered the study together with the Minister of Territorial Affairs, and sat down in her seat to read today's letters after the door closed.
"What on earth can make our unflappable minister of affairs so frightened?" The teapot was warm, and the maid had prepared black tea for Gloria's men as soon as they arrived at the castle, "Come on, you should return Didn't have breakfast."
"My lord, when is it? Are you still in the mood to drink black tea?" The minister of affairs sighed, "Please read the last letter."
After Gloria opened the envelope, the familiar scent of roses hit her face. She knew who the letter was from without even looking at the contents.
"Why does His Majesty the King, who is busy with everything, want to order me, a little man?"
The Minister of Affairs is her confidant, and Gloria doesn't hide it in front of him. She read the letter at a glance, and the sneer at the corner of her mouth is visible to the naked eye.
"What did he say? My lord." It wasn't the letter that bothered the Minister of Affairs, but the gift that came with it.
In order to express his love for the Duke of Anjou, the rich French king gave her a necklace from his mother.
"He just hoped that I would like that gift." Gloria ignored the other party's address at the signing place, and tapped her fingers on the table, "What did he send?"
"Necklace of Queen Sophia, Green Heart."
Upon hearing the name, Gloria rubbed her temples, only to feel a headache.
Although the Green Heart is a necklace, it is actually made from a crown.When it was still a crown, it has been the daily crown of every crown prince.
"Our king has put his wife's face elsewhere."
Gloria stood up, took a piece of letter paper from a box, and was about to start replying to Louis, "Then as his admirer, I will naturally reply her with happy letters."
After Gloria started writing, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." The girl didn't lift her head.
A maid with an ordinary appearance came in, leaned over and whispered in Gloria's ear, "My lord, the queen gave birth, and the child is not King Louis's."
The quill stopped halfway, and Gloria sneered, "It seems that he doesn't have to worry about his wife's face."
The face of the minister of affairs changed, "Your Excellency, you need to get married immediately."
It is actually not uncommon for the nobles to have lewdness. The king has a mistress, and the queen has a lover. After giving birth, everyone plays their own things.
Anyway, marriage is the union of two families and two countries, and the personal wishes of the two parties to the marriage are not so important.
Since Gloria and Louis began to "love", almost no one dared to harass her.But now it's different...
Holy Roman King Henry, father of the Queen of France, died a few months ago.
The empire began to elect a new heir. It was a certainty that Henry's son would succeed, but who knew that he died in an accident.
The barber accidentally cut his cheek while cleaning his beard.A few days later, the soon-to-be king died of an infected wound.
The heir dies, and the throne of the Holy Roman Empire falls to someone else.The queen of France no longer has a strong family as a backing, and her first child does not belong to the king, which makes the whole Versailles like a dark cloud.
"The news from the Palace of Versailles that the king has sent someone to send a large sum of money to the Pope." After the maid finished speaking, she lowered her eyes and waited for Gloria's order.
After the coronation ceremony, Gloria immediately led an intelligence network in France with the strength left behind by her father.
From Paris to Anjou, after four years of development, the information just heard by the king can reach Gloria's ears in half a day.Coupled with Gloria's natural command ability, Anjou has not lost a single battle in the past two years.
The safety of the people has been guaranteed, followed by the problem of food and clothing.Under the leadership of Gloria, the nobles and mayors in Anjou increased their investment in the university's agricultural college.
Numerous children of farmers have been sponsored to enter university, learn about agronomy, and then return to their hometowns to take up positions in the government's agricultural department.
In addition to the school, the teachers in the school go to the surrounding countryside every month to teach farmers how to plow and breed.
The minister of affairs felt that Gloria was like an angel sent from heaven, she seemed to be good at everything.Under her leadership, Anjou even abandoned the extravagant atmosphere of the Palace of Versailles and became simple.
In the past, the dignitaries in the Anjou Territory were proud of who owned the most land, the most shining jewels, and the most beautiful clothes.
But now, every time these dignitaries gather, it becomes whose production area grows the most grain, the sweetest fruit, and the largest vegetable.
The development of Anjou is unique in the whole of France.
Now, Louis no longer has any shackles that can restrict him, so of course he can pick the most delicious fruit with peace of mind.
"If you don't want to marry me, Louis is still a good king." Gloria dropped her pen, not in the mood to reply to the troublesome body far away in the Palace of Versailles, "Forget it, I will return to him later, He probably won't contact me these days, the divorce is enough for two families to discuss."
Stretching, Gloria looked at the maid, "What's going on in the square today?"
"The brigade of foreign merchants arrived last night. Today is the first day. The square must be very lively."
Gloria nodded, and led her attendants out of the castle.
In France, or under the authority of the Catholic Church, it is completely shocking for women to wear trousers.
But since Gloria wore armor and rode a horse on the battlefield to cut off the head of the opposing general, no amount of gossip disappeared that day.
Their lords did not oppress them on couches, their lords protected them in battle with swords in hand.
Even if she is a woman, her courage far exceeds that of a man.
The Pope kept silent about the matter under Gloria's money attack, and King Louis was her "lover", so naturally he would not make her unhappy.
As a result, more and more women in the entire Anjou area put on trousers when they went out to work. This kind of scenery attracted many men from other territories to marvel.
The foreign merchants on the square have already laid out blankets, and some shops with facades will also sell some things.
Most of the people who live here have smiles on their faces. Even the hard laborers who work on the docks will buy a glass of beer at this time and take their wives and children to wander in the square.
Everyone knows Gloria's appearance. She nods to the people who greet her from time to time, and then looks for interesting things in the square.
Walking around, they came to a fork in the road. The road in front of the left had no exit, and they walked a few tens of meters to the black market.
For a city, it can't be bright all the time, and Gloria is blind to some dark things while maintaining mostly justice.
"Are you going to take a look inside? I heard from a familiar foreign businessman that this batch of goods is very precious." The attendant said.
Gloria shrugged and walked in first.
Merchants from the Middle East and Central Asia have a strange scent on them. Their perfume was popular in Paris for a while. Gloria also owns a few bottles and even likes it very much.
France is the center of fashion, and Paris is the center of the center.They have fashion-forward designs, but Gloria loves the mysteries of the Middle East and Central Asia.
Whenever she gets items from merchants in the Middle East and Central Asia, she always knows how to use them without a teacher.
what is the problem?
In the black market, goods are no longer sold on the surface, but are hidden in exquisite tents one after another.
There are so many tents to visit, but Gloria can only see the deepest tent at a glance.
There is absolutely something in there.
Walking over quickly, the attendants didn't even keep up with Gloria.She lifted the curtain and glanced over, only to see a person lying on the bed covered with silk.
"Miss, our place may not be suitable for you to come in." The foreign businessman politely wanted to invite Gloria out.
"In my territory, is there any place I can't go?"
The lights in the tent were too dim, and at this moment, the attendant just caught up with Gloria's footsteps. He lifted the curtain, and the light from outside shone on the girl's face, allowing the businessman to see clearly who was in front of him.
"I'm sorry, Lord Duke, please do as you please." Before setting foot on the territory of Anjou, all foreign businessmen will be asked to remember what the Duke of Anjou looks like.
For them, it is rare for a lord who can exclusively provide them with a city square as a temporary booth and only charge a small management fee.
"What do you sell?" Gloria asked.
"I don't know if you need slaves in your castle. I have a few slaves from Central Asia here. They have been trained in both perfumery and massage." The businessman said respectfully.
Before Gloria could speak, perhaps the noise at the door woke up the person in front of her.
Gloria followed the sound, and saw the person wrapped in silk slowly sticking his head out of it. He sat up straight, and Gloria realized that the person was not a female slave, but a male.
The short blond hair was a little messy, but at least it was cleaned. He was not wearing any strands on his upper body, and he was lean and strong. Although he was fair, he revealed a wild beauty.
The man stretched, turned his head, and faced Gloria directly.
just a glance...
Gloria stood there quietly, as if being sucked in by those scarlet eyes.
"Duke?" The man chuckled. He spoke French, which was more authentic than foreign businessmen who traveled around the world and were proficient in many languages.
The man lay prone on the bed again, and the slippery silk fell from his shoulders, tightly sticking to his body.
Those scarlet eyes are like wild beasts, wanting to devour people, and like the most affectionate lover, making people drown in it.
"Good afternoon, sir." Gloria raised an eyebrow.
The blond man yawned, propped his head on one hand casually, and lay there reclining.Compared to a businessman, he is more like the owner of this tent.
"Do you want to buy slaves?" The man didn't respond to Gloria's question mark, but went straight to the point.
"Before I came in, I didn't have this plan. But now..." Gloria recovered from the surprise just now, and she turned into her usual free and easy look, "Are you also a male slave?"
"You want to take me away?" The blond man looked at Gloria casually.
"Do you want to come with me?"
The foreign businessman stood beside him, wanting to speak but dared not speak. The man sitting on the couch glanced at him, which made him lower his head in fear.
"Follow you? Be your slave?"
"You can do what you want." Gloria took a few steps forward.
After hearing this sentence, the blond man sneered, raised his hand and grabbed Gloria's wrist, pulling it towards him.
At this time, Gloria was kneeling on the couch with one leg, one hand supporting the shoulder of the blond man, and the scent of the man was already filling his breath.
The blond man sat at the back, lazily like a cat, as if he was about to be bullied by the other party.
"What's your name?" Gloria whispered softly.
"Gilgamesh." The blond man smiled and placed a kiss on the other's lips, "My rose."
His Excellency the Duke bought a blond man from a foreign merchant.
Such news spread throughout the castle immediately after Gloria returned home.Unfortunately, her move also bumped into her mother who came back from another hospital.
Anastasia was born Rose, not afraid of the cold, but afraid of the heat.Before summer, he would always take a group of maids to a holiday home in Anjou, where he would spend his summer.
But this time, her daughter finally returned home after many days of activities, and Anastasia, who was eager to love her daughter, returned to the castle before the end of summer.
When she was full of joy and wanted to hug her daughter, she saw the blond man standing beside her.
"Who is he?" Anastasia asked gravely in Russian.
"The slaves bought from foreign merchants looked good, so I bought them." Gloria looked indifferent, and she didn't seem to care about the other party.
"Is it finally time for my child to grow up?" Anastasia's brows and eyes widened when she heard this, she pulled Gloria and said bluntly, "Compared to the children of noble families Boy, such a man is safer, you don't have to worry about whether he will stab you in the back. Of course, my daughter, the same sentence, your first child cannot be an illegitimate child, he must be the heir of Anjou territory. "
"I know, I know." Anastasia's words were almost cliché, and Gloria was not allowed to leave until she had agreed to have dinner with her mother.
Gilgamesh didn't say much, and followed Gloria all the way.Compared to the devout attendants beside her, Gilgamesh, who was following Gloria obliquely, looked like a nobleman.
He was wearing an exotic dress made of silk, and he walked unhurriedly behind. After sweeping the hall with red eyes, he landed on the girl in front of him again.
Gloria didn't like other people entering her study, so she just asked the servants to call the head maid, and handed Gilgamesh into the hands of the other party.
"Clean him up, and then find something for him to do in the castle." Gloria sat there, only then did she realize how abrupt her actions were.
She has always stayed away from relationships. Apart from pretending to be with Louis in these years, she has no idea of developing a relationship at all.
For her, Anjou's prosperity is more important than her own physical pleasure.But now, she actually went to buy a slave who didn't look like doing farm work.
Rubbing her temples, Gloria knew that the eyes of the head maid before she left were definitely full of sarcasm.
Sighing, she decided not to think about it.Back in her bedroom, under the service of the maid, she changed the trousers and put on a more comfortable skirt.
When the whole of France advocated the waist, Gloria will always be a Greek-style long skirt, with the waist pinched below the chest, and the skin-friendly material falls on the body.
"I'm going to talk to my mother." After telling the maid, Gloria went to Anastasia's room.
The two haven't seen each other for many days, so naturally they have a lot to say.Of course, Louis's upcoming divorce was also the focus of their discussion.
"Although you don't need to be pressured by other people to marry a man now, if Louis divorces and proposes to you, you have no right to refuse. But other people have long since stopped showing love to you because of Louis' possessive desire for you... ..."
Anastasia shook the fan in her hand, "Unexpectedly, the method I came up with to help you back then has now become a shackle that binds you."
"What does the mother think?" Gloria asked.
"You should get married." Anastasia said, "During the time when Louis is still distressed about divorce, immediately find an ordinary man, even if he is not a nobleman, and let him marry you. Your territory is everywhere. If he is given the title of baron, then he is not considered a commoner."
"But..." Anastasia frowned and asked worriedly, "My daughter, if the king turns against you because of your marriage, do you have..."
Gloria pressed the back of her mother's hand, leaned over and whispered in the other's ear: "As long as I want, I can."
Anastasia was slightly taken aback.
She saw her daughter open and close her mouth, and said something that surprised her, "The luxury and prostitution of the Palace of Versailles, even Louis, could not stop it. Our great king is like a mantis holding a cart, stopping here Before the torrent of the times."
In the evening, Gloria and Anastasia had dinner.Neither talked about the conversation in Anastasia's bedroom.
The chef from Italy cooked potatoes and chicken, and the soft bread was covered with rich chocolate sauce.
After they finished a quiet meal, Gloria kissed Anastasia on the cheek, "Good night, mother."
"Good night, my little rose."
When Gloria returned to the bedroom and saw Gilgamesh sleeping soundly on her bed, she realized that the head maid had absolutely misunderstood.
She asked the other party to clean up Gilgamesh, and just find a servant's room for him to live in.But I didn't expect that "find something" in the head maid's ear was this kind of thing.
The French seldom take a bath, and even the development of the perfume industry is due to their body odor.
But since Gloria has improved the sanitation of the river and promoted the use of hot water, the residents of the entire Anjou territory have a lot better taste.
Gilgamesh was washed clean by the maid, and he was sprayed with Gloria's favorite perfume.He was dressed in silk like a gift ready to be unwrapped.
Maybe it was the sound of Gloria closing the door that woke him up. Gilgamesh opened his eyes and waved to Gloria.
Such actions made Gloria's face a little gloomy. Although she was a very talkative person, she was also a lord. Being so underestimated made her a little angry.
"I will ask the head maid to take you to another place. If it was someone else, I would have kicked you out of the castle long ago." Gloria said.
"Then why won't I be kicked out?" Gilgamesh raised the corners of his lips.
Gloria felt that the other party had been tempting her intentionally or unintentionally, so she stepped forward and pinched Gilgamesh's chin, "I bought you from that damned slave owner for thirty gold coins, You belong to me, sir, more than any other free servant."
Gilgamesh smiled at the corners of his eyes, as if he was mocking Gloria's self-control, "Did you buy me back just to clean the castle? This castle is really expensive, and a sweeper of thirty gold coins is really worth it." It's rare."
While saying this, Gilgamesh has been teasing Gloria intentionally or unintentionally.
Whether it was him gently stroking the girl's fingers, or the half-smile look on his lips, it was like a mysterious box, leading Gloria into it.
Gloria took a step back, but Gilgamesh kissed her directly on the lips.
This kiss seemed to turn on some kind of strange switch. Gloria pressed the man's palm with her backhand and pressed him on the bed, while she herself straddled him.
"Sir, kissing is not like that."
With a smile in his eyes, Gilgamesh raised his eyebrows and said, "Then my rose, can you teach me what is kissing?"
This familiar name made Gloria slightly startled, "How do you know this name?"
Gilgamesh sat up and whispered in the girl's ear, "You, France."
There is no Frenchman who doesn't like roses. Gloria's eyes darkened, she raised her hand and untied her hairband, and her long golden hair fell behind her, "Since you chose this job, I should make you feel worthy." Thirty gold pieces for me, aren't I?"
Gilgamesh laughed heartily and proudly. He turned from defense to offense and suppressed Gloria, "Of course, I am even far beyond the value of these thirty gold coins."
That night, the maid at the gate blushed all night.In the Duke's bedroom, the bath water was sent back and forth two or three times. When the sun rose from the horizon and there was no movement in the door, the maid was relieved, and it was finally over...
The next morning, the Minister of State Affairs was stopped outside the room for the first time.
"Is the Duke not feeling well?" 360 Gloria, who has not had a day off for five days, slept in today. If she hadn't seen the lively Duke yesterday, the Minister of Affairs would even have guessed that her lord had a terminal illness.
The maid wasn't the same as yesterday's vigil, but she also got some information from a friend who was on shift.At this time, she stopped the Minister of Affairs and whispered: "It's really inconvenient, Your Excellency the Duke."
The Minister of Affairs frowned, and suddenly, he seemed to realize something, and blinked at the maid, "Then tell me, where was the new blonde slave yesterday?"
The maid thought for a moment, and finally pointed to the door.
The expression on the minister's face was both happy and worried.The joy is that the duke finally has a real lover, but the worry is that the man is a foreign slave.
Turning around in place a few times, the minister of affairs left with a sigh like an old father.
In the room, Gloria slowly opened her eyes. She had been sleeping alone all this time, and she realized that she had been sleeping in the arms of a new acquaintance all night, and she even had the most intimate relationship with this person. relation.
If at the beginning, she just wanted to win the first place, but then everything got out of control.
The other party seemed to know every sensitive point of her, which made her cry several times in bed.
"It's still early, sleep later." Gilgamesh hugged Gloria and rubbed the top of Gloria's head naturally, as if he had done it countless times.
Gloria wanted to get up from the other person's arms, but she slept too late yesterday, and her body was tired.The more critical point is that she doesn't want to leave the other party's arms.
"I should have kicked you out of my castle."
After saying this, Gloria closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
Gilgamesh chuckled, "I have found you, my rose."
Louis Capet stood on the balcony, holding red wine in his hand, and the baroness kneeling in front of him moved her head back and forth.
It was obviously such an intimate gesture, but Louis' eyebrows and eyes were extremely indifferent. After he reached the peak, he pretended to caress the baroness's cheek affectionately, "Thank you, my lady."
The baroness also wanted to have some tenderness with Louis. She was a mistress who was not recognized by the king. If she could be taken by the king to appear in public, her status would definitely be raised to a higher level.
But Louis glanced at the whole garden, and the view here was very good.He could see the gardens of Versailles without being noticed by those people.
Obviously, the banquet was only halfway through, but at this moment, the garden was already full of cheating nobles.
The Duchess of Champagne lay beneath the Baron Marcel, while his husband lifted up his maid's skirt in the next grove.
Louis turned around and handed the wine glass to the attendant.When the baroness saw that the king was leaving, she immediately grabbed his hand and said softly, "Your Majesty, won't you take me with you?"
The man's brows and eyes were full of indifference, and he nodded slightly, "The view from the balcony is very good, so I won't bother you."
The baroness's expression changed, she stepped forward to stop her, but was fixed in place by Louis' eyes.
After Louis left, the woman punched the deputy on the balcony angrily.
On the way to the banquet hall, nobles came forward to chat with each other from time to time.Louis put on a slightly alienated politeness on top of his face, but in fact he was already tired of the guests coming and going.

"Prince? Do you think His Majesty the King won't get in the way? If Gloria marries those British guys, then our land will be polluted by the British. I don't want to see such a scene happen."
and many more……
Suddenly, Louis felt that he should be awakened.
He quickly returned to his study, took out the letter paper sprayed with rose fragrance, and wrote the first sentence:

"News from today?" Gloria raised her eyebrows. She entered the study together with the Minister of Territorial Affairs, and sat down in her seat to read today's letters after the door closed.
"What on earth can make our unflappable minister of affairs so frightened?" The teapot was warm, and the maid had prepared black tea for Gloria's men as soon as they arrived at the castle, "Come on, you should return Didn't have breakfast."
"My lord, when is it? Are you still in the mood to drink black tea?" The minister of affairs sighed, "Please read the last letter."
After Gloria opened the envelope, the familiar scent of roses hit her face. She knew who the letter was from without even looking at the contents.
"Why does His Majesty the King, who is busy with everything, want to order me, a little man?"

After Gloria started writing, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." The girl didn't lift her head.
A maid with an ordinary appearance came in, leaned over and whispered in Gloria's ear, "My lord, the queen gave birth, and the child is not King Louis's."
The quill stopped halfway, and Gloria sneered, "It seems that he doesn't have to worry about his wife's face."
The face of the minister of affairs changed, "Your Excellency, you need to get married immediately."

Holy Roman King Henry, father of the Queen of France, died a few months ago.
The empire began to elect a new heir. It was a certainty that Henry's son would succeed, but who knew that he died in an accident.
The barber accidentally cut his cheek while cleaning his beard.A few days later, the soon-to-be king died of an infected wound.

After the coronation ceremony, Gloria immediately led an intelligence network in France with the strength left behind by her father.
From Paris to Anjou, after four years of development, the information just heard by the king can reach Gloria's ears in half a day.Coupled with Gloria's natural command ability, Anjou has not lost a single battle in the past two years.
The safety of the people has been guaranteed, followed by the problem of food and clothing.Under the leadership of Gloria, the nobles and mayors in Anjou increased their investment in the university's agricultural college.
Numerous children of farmers have been sponsored to enter university, learn about agronomy, and then return to their hometowns to take up positions in the government's agricultural department.
In addition to the school, the teachers in the school go to the surrounding countryside every month to teach farmers how to plow and breed.
The minister of affairs felt that Gloria was like an angel sent from heaven, she seemed to be good at everything.Under her leadership, Anjou even abandoned the extravagant atmosphere of the Palace of Versailles and became simple.
In the past, the dignitaries in the Anjou Territory were proud of who owned the most land, the most shining jewels, and the most beautiful clothes.

Everyone knows Gloria's appearance. She nods to the people who greet her from time to time, and then looks for interesting things in the square.
Walking around, they came to a fork in the road. The road in front of the left had no exit, and they walked a few tens of meters to the black market.
For a city, it can't be bright all the time, and Gloria is blind to some dark things while maintaining mostly justice.
"Are you going to take a look inside? I heard from a familiar foreign businessman that this batch of goods is very precious." The attendant said.
Gloria shrugged and walked in first.
Merchants from the Middle East and Central Asia have a strange scent on them. Their perfume was popular in Paris for a while. Gloria also owns a few bottles and even likes it very much.
France is the center of fashion, and Paris is the center of the center.They have fashion-forward designs, but Gloria loves the mysteries of the Middle East and Central Asia.
Whenever she gets items from merchants in the Middle East and Central Asia, she always knows how to use them without a teacher.
what is the problem?
In the black market, goods are no longer sold on the surface, but are hidden in exquisite tents one after another.
There are so many tents to visit, but Gloria can only see the deepest tent at a glance.
There is absolutely something in there.
Walking over quickly, the attendants didn't even keep up with Gloria.She lifted the curtain and glanced over, only to see a person lying on the bed covered with silk.
"Miss, our place may not be suitable for you to come in." The foreign businessman politely wanted to invite Gloria out.
"In my territory, is there any place I can't go?"
The lights in the tent were too dim, and at this moment, the attendant just caught up with Gloria's footsteps. He lifted the curtain, and the light from outside shone on the girl's face, allowing the businessman to see clearly who was in front of him.
"I'm sorry, Lord Duke, please do as you please." Before setting foot on the territory of Anjou, all foreign businessmen will be asked to remember what the Duke of Anjou looks like.
For them, it is rare for a lord who can exclusively provide them with a city square as a temporary booth and only charge a small management fee.
"What do you sell?" Gloria asked.
"I don't know if you need slaves in your castle. I have a few slaves from Central Asia here. They have been trained in both perfumery and massage." The businessman said respectfully.
Before Gloria could speak, perhaps the noise at the door woke up the person in front of her.
Gloria followed the sound, and saw the person wrapped in silk slowly sticking his head out of it. He sat up straight, and Gloria realized that the person was not a female slave, but a male.
The short blond hair was a little messy, but at least it was cleaned. He was not wearing any strands on his upper body, and he was lean and strong. Although he was fair, he revealed a wild beauty.
The man stretched, turned his head, and faced Gloria directly.
just a glance...
Gloria stood there quietly, as if being sucked in by those scarlet eyes.
"Duke?" The man chuckled. He spoke French, which was more authentic than foreign businessmen who traveled around the world and were proficient in many languages.
The man lay prone on the bed again, and the slippery silk fell from his shoulders, tightly sticking to his body.
Those scarlet eyes are like wild beasts, wanting to devour people, and like the most affectionate lover, making people drown in it.
"Good afternoon, sir." Gloria raised an eyebrow.
The blond man yawned, propped his head on one hand casually, and lay there reclining.Compared to a businessman, he is more like the owner of this tent.
"Do you want to buy slaves?" The man didn't respond to Gloria's question mark, but went straight to the point.
"Before I came in, I didn't have this plan. But now..." Gloria recovered from the surprise just now, and she turned into her usual free and easy look, "Are you also a male slave?"
"You want to take me away?" The blond man looked at Gloria casually.
"Do you want to come with me?"
The foreign businessman stood beside him, wanting to speak but dared not speak. The man sitting on the couch glanced at him, which made him lower his head in fear.
"Follow you? Be your slave?"
"You can do what you want." Gloria took a few steps forward.
After hearing this sentence, the blond man sneered, raised his hand and grabbed Gloria's wrist, pulling it towards him.
At this time, Gloria was kneeling on the couch with one leg, one hand supporting the shoulder of the blond man, and the scent of the man was already filling his breath.
The blond man sat at the back, lazily like a cat, as if he was about to be bullied by the other party.
"What's your name?" Gloria whispered softly.
"Gilgamesh." The blond man smiled and placed a kiss on the other's lips, "My rose."
His Excellency the Duke bought a blond man from a foreign merchant.
Such news spread throughout the castle immediately after Gloria returned home.Unfortunately, her move also bumped into her mother who came back from another hospital.
Anastasia was born Rose, not afraid of the cold, but afraid of the heat.Before summer, he would always take a group of maids to a holiday home in Anjou, where he would spend his summer.
But this time, her daughter finally returned home after many days of activities, and Anastasia, who was eager to love her daughter, returned to the castle before the end of summer.
When she was full of joy and wanted to hug her daughter, she saw the blond man standing beside her.
"Who is he?" Anastasia asked gravely in Russian.
"The slaves bought from foreign merchants looked good, so I bought them." Gloria looked indifferent, and she didn't seem to care about the other party.
"Is it finally time for my child to grow up?" Anastasia's brows and eyes widened when she heard this, she pulled Gloria and said bluntly, "Compared to the children of noble families Boy, such a man is safer, you don't have to worry about whether he will stab you in the back. Of course, my daughter, the same sentence, your first child cannot be an illegitimate child, he must be the heir of Anjou territory. "
"I know, I know." Anastasia's words were almost cliché, and Gloria was not allowed to leave until she had agreed to have dinner with her mother.
Gilgamesh didn't say much, and followed Gloria all the way.Compared to the devout attendants beside her, Gilgamesh, who was following Gloria obliquely, looked like a nobleman.
He was wearing an exotic dress made of silk, and he walked unhurriedly behind. After sweeping the hall with red eyes, he landed on the girl in front of him again.
Gloria didn't like other people entering her study, so she just asked the servants to call the head maid, and handed Gilgamesh into the hands of the other party.
"Clean him up, and then find something for him to do in the castle." Gloria sat there, only then did she realize how abrupt her actions were.
She has always stayed away from relationships. Apart from pretending to be with Louis in these years, she has no idea of developing a relationship at all.
For her, Anjou's prosperity is more important than her own physical pleasure.But now, she actually went to buy a slave who didn't look like doing farm work.
Rubbing her temples, Gloria knew that the eyes of the head maid before she left were definitely full of sarcasm.
Sighing, she decided not to think about it.Back in her bedroom, under the service of the maid, she changed the trousers and put on a more comfortable skirt.
When the whole of France advocated the waist, Gloria will always be a Greek-style long skirt, with the waist pinched below the chest, and the skin-friendly material falls on the body.
"I'm going to talk to my mother." After telling the maid, Gloria went to Anastasia's room.
The two haven't seen each other for many days, so naturally they have a lot to say.Of course, Louis's upcoming divorce was also the focus of their discussion.
"Although you don't need to be pressured by other people to marry a man now, if Louis divorces and proposes to you, you have no right to refuse. But other people have long since stopped showing love to you because of Louis' possessive desire for you... ..."
Anastasia shook the fan in her hand, "Unexpectedly, the method I came up with to help you back then has now become a shackle that binds you."
"What does the mother think?" Gloria asked.
"You should get married." Anastasia said, "During the time when Louis is still distressed about divorce, immediately find an ordinary man, even if he is not a nobleman, and let him marry you. Your territory is everywhere. If he is given the title of baron, then he is not considered a commoner."
"But..." Anastasia frowned and asked worriedly, "My daughter, if the king turns against you because of your marriage, do you have..."
Gloria pressed the back of her mother's hand, leaned over and whispered in the other's ear: "As long as I want, I can."
Anastasia was slightly taken aback.
She saw her daughter open and close her mouth, and said something that surprised her, "The luxury and prostitution of the Palace of Versailles, even Louis, could not stop it. Our great king is like a mantis holding a cart, stopping here Before the torrent of the times."
In the evening, Gloria and Anastasia had dinner.Neither talked about the conversation in Anastasia's bedroom.
The chef from Italy cooked potatoes and chicken, and the soft bread was covered with rich chocolate sauce.
After they finished a quiet meal, Gloria kissed Anastasia on the cheek, "Good night, mother."
"Good night, my little rose."
When Gloria returned to the bedroom and saw Gilgamesh sleeping soundly on her bed, she realized that the head maid had absolutely misunderstood.
She asked the other party to clean up Gilgamesh, and just find a servant's room for him to live in.But I didn't expect that "find something" in the head maid's ear was this kind of thing.
The French seldom take a bath, and even the development of the perfume industry is due to their body odor.
But since Gloria has improved the sanitation of the river and promoted the use of hot water, the residents of the entire Anjou territory have a lot better taste.
Gilgamesh was washed clean by the maid, and he was sprayed with Gloria's favorite perfume.He was dressed in silk like a gift ready to be unwrapped.
Maybe it was the sound of Gloria closing the door that woke him up. Gilgamesh opened his eyes and waved to Gloria.
Such actions made Gloria's face a little gloomy. Although she was a very talkative person, she was also a lord. Being so underestimated made her a little angry.
"I will ask the head maid to take you to another place. If it was someone else, I would have kicked you out of the castle long ago." Gloria said.
"Then why won't I be kicked out?" Gilgamesh raised the corners of his lips.
Gloria felt that the other party had been tempting her intentionally or unintentionally, so she stepped forward and pinched Gilgamesh's chin, "I bought you from that damned slave owner for thirty gold coins, You belong to me, sir, more than any other free servant."
Gilgamesh smiled at the corners of his eyes, as if he was mocking Gloria's self-control, "Did you buy me back just to clean the castle? This castle is really expensive, and a sweeper of thirty gold coins is really worth it." It's rare."
While saying this, Gilgamesh has been teasing Gloria intentionally or unintentionally.
Whether it was him gently stroking the girl's fingers, or the half-smile look on his lips, it was like a mysterious box, leading Gloria into it.
Gloria took a step back, but Gilgamesh kissed her directly on the lips.
This kiss seemed to turn on some kind of strange switch. Gloria pressed the man's palm with her backhand and pressed him on the bed, while she herself straddled him.
"Sir, kissing is not like that."
With a smile in his eyes, Gilgamesh raised his eyebrows and said, "Then my rose, can you teach me what is kissing?"
This familiar name made Gloria slightly startled, "How do you know this name?"
Gilgamesh sat up and whispered in the girl's ear, "You, France."
There is no Frenchman who doesn't like roses. Gloria's eyes darkened, she raised her hand and untied her hairband, and her long golden hair fell behind her, "Since you chose this job, I should make you feel worthy." Thirty gold pieces for me, aren't I?"
Gilgamesh laughed heartily and proudly. He turned from defense to offense and suppressed Gloria, "Of course, I am even far beyond the value of these thirty gold coins."
That night, the maid at the gate blushed all night.In the Duke's bedroom, the bath water was sent back and forth two or three times. When the sun rose from the horizon and there was no movement in the door, the maid was relieved, and it was finally over...
The next morning, the Minister of State Affairs was stopped outside the room for the first time.
"Is the Duke not feeling well?" 360 Gloria, who has not had a day off for five days, slept in today. If she hadn't seen the lively Duke yesterday, the Minister of Affairs would even have guessed that her lord had a terminal illness.
The maid wasn't the same as yesterday's vigil, but she also got some information from a friend who was on shift.At this time, she stopped the Minister of Affairs and whispered: "It's really inconvenient, Your Excellency the Duke."
The Minister of Affairs frowned, and suddenly, he seemed to realize something, and blinked at the maid, "Then tell me, where was the new blonde slave yesterday?"
The maid thought for a moment, and finally pointed to the door.
The expression on the minister's face was both happy and worried.The joy is that the duke finally has a real lover, but the worry is that the man is a foreign slave.
Turning around in place a few times, the minister of affairs left with a sigh like an old father.
In the room, Gloria slowly opened her eyes. She had been sleeping alone all this time, and she realized that she had been sleeping in the arms of a new acquaintance all night, and she even had the most intimate relationship with this person. relation.
If at the beginning, she just wanted to win the first place, but then everything got out of control.
The other party seemed to know every sensitive point of her, which made her cry several times in bed.
"It's still early, sleep later." Gilgamesh hugged Gloria and rubbed the top of Gloria's head naturally, as if he had done it countless times.
Gloria wanted to get up from the other person's arms, but she slept too late yesterday, and her body was tired.The more critical point is that she doesn't want to leave the other party's arms.
"I should have kicked you out of my castle."
After saying this, Gloria closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
Gilgamesh chuckled, "I have found you, my rose."
