On Friday, Anastasia, despite being warned by Gloria, still loves her children as a mother.

"You don't look like you're going to a prom today." Entering the dressing room, Anastasia looked at Gloria's skirt with disgust.

Nowadays, aristocratic women will wear corsets and skirts decorated with various ribbons when attending banquets, and add a big wig on their heads.

But Gloria didn't like shapewear in the first place, and even for her coronation, she didn't wear something that took people's breath away.

"Huh? Isn't that good?" The girl stood in front of the vanity mirror, while the maids squatted aside to straighten her skirts.

She had not worn a French dress for a long time, since she introduced the Greek dress to Anjou.

"You can wear such a skirt by yourself in the castle, but if you appear in public, I'm afraid that the bad reputation that you are not good at dressing up will spread to Paris the next day."

Anastasia sighed, but she could think about it herself, "But it's okay, my daughter, you are free to wear what you want."

"Mother." Gloria lowered her head so that the maid beside her could put the necklace on her slender neck, "For me, what I wear is fashion."

The proud Duchess of Anjou disdains the extravagant fashions of Paris, and almost everyone in the Anjou territory knows this.

"So, I don't care what they think of me." Gloria's blond hair was tied directly behind her head. She was dressed in the simplest clothes and attire, but it made people feel so charming.

"Has your male partner finally decided? The Minister of Affairs is a good choice. If he shows up with you, no one will regard him as your partner."

"No, I've already chosen." Gloria's voice fell, and the voice of the head maid came from outside the door.

"My lord, I have brought Mr. Gilgamesh here."

The girl turned her head and met the eyes of the man standing at the door. She raised the corners of her lips and stretched out her hand to him, "Handsome sir, can I invite you to the banquet tonight?"

Aristocratic women rarely take the initiative to invite, but Gloria stretched out her hand.

Because with her, she is in control.

It's the complete opposite of a relationship, and Gilgamesh feels he's playing the role of the weaker of the two instead.

But he was not offended, and on the contrary, he was willing to play this game with Gloria with great interest.

"I accept your invitation, my Duke." The blond man's voice was low, like a feather gently scratching the strings of a piano.

There were several unmarried girls in the dressing room who were already blushing and buried their heads on the ground, not wanting Gloria to see their ugliness.

Anastasia's eyes flicked to Gloria's stomach, but she finally said nothing.

However, what does her daughter want to achieve by bringing her lover to such an obvious blind date?

At night, the courtyard next to the castle is brightly lit.The aristocrats coming and going chatted with wine glasses, and the orchestra specially invited from Paris played the most popular tunes nowadays.

The local nobles of Anjou have already participated in several banquets held before, and today they are mainly nobles from Paris, Champagne, Burgundy and other regions.

In the past, everyone only heard about the difference between Anjou and them from other people's mouths, but now they saw it with their own eyes, which strengthened their desire for Anjou's nominal master, Gloria.

The streets are clean and tidy, the smiles on the faces of the surrounding farmers do not seem to be fake, and the whole town does not have the smell of the streets of Paris.

They didn't know how Anjou got rid of the horse manure and slop in the streets. After all, the Palace of Versailles was covered with the excrement of the guests for a while.

Everyone has their own thoughts.If he married this duchess, would all of Anjou's inadequacies become his own?

As for the rumored lover next to the Duke during this period, everyone didn't take it seriously. This is nothing more than a foreign slave. The Duke of Anjou will not abandon the glory of his ancestors and choose to marry a slave.

Ten minutes after the banquet started, the Castle Steward stood at the door. Following his words, everyone turned their faces to the door.

Here comes the most important person of the party.

In the carriage, Mrs. Anastasia and the Minister of State Affairs came down arm in arm.Then the second carriage followed closely, and the door was pulled open. Everyone expected to see the face of the Duke of Anjou, but they did not expect that a blond man appeared in front of them.

The man's scarlet eyes were full of arrogance. If they hadn't known who this man was in advance, no one would have regarded him as a slave.

Gilgamesh wore the clothes of noble men, but neither he nor Gloria wore white wigs. The golden hair hung softly around the ears, with a little starlight under the night lights.

He raised his hand, stretched forward, and then, a white hand rested on his palm, followed by a foot wearing satin high-heeled shoes.

When the girl got off the carriage, all the luxurious clothes around her were set off as vulgar things.

The girl was wearing a silk Greek-style dress, pinching her waist a few centimeters below her chest.

She looks tall and slender.Her long blond hair was pulled back, and there were no flowers, jewels, or exaggerated hats, just a ribbon of emeralds the same color as her eyes.

The girl doesn't even paint her face with white lead powder like other girls. Her natural skin is fair and translucent, and her lips with only lip balm are attractive.

She smiles like a monarch, coming down to a feast in the company of her doting lover.

"Sorry, my horse seems to be blinded by the fat green grass on the road." Gloria said with a smile, and nodded slightly at everyone.

Obviously Gloria's dress is so shocking in the social arena, but no man expressed dissatisfaction with it.

Because she is so beautiful.

They are used to seeing the pale and old skin of their lover under the lead powder, but no one will refuse the girl's beauty full of vitality.

At the banquet, the people with the highest status came forward to greet Gloria first, and everyone automatically arranged in order and exchanged greetings with the central figure.

And the foreign slave who also attracted everyone's attention stood quietly beside Gloria with a glass of wine.

"My lord duke, I heard that you are looking for a fiancé now?" A lady who has a good relationship with Anastasia asked knowingly, obviously there was something in her words. After she glanced at Gilgamesh with her glasses, she chuckled asked, "Is this your new groom?"

For aristocratic women, the groom at home is sometimes equivalent to the person who provides them with sexual services.Just as men love maids, they love grooms.

"Groom? No." Gloria shook her head. She looked at Gilgamesh, as if trying to locate him. "That's it?" The lady was a little curious.

Gloria laughed softly, guarding the fan in the dragon's hand, and directly raised Gilgamesh's chin, "My treasured treasure."
