Chapter 396: The Marquis
At Tavaré Pier, the three-masted clipper with its sails folded slid into the berth, and naturally someone on the trestle pushed the gangway to the side of the ship.
A row of black steam carts stopped on the shore at the end of the trestle, and the soldiers of the Bright God Kingdom in shining armor lined up in two rows, attracting the attention of the people on board.
"Ma'am, you're all set. "The manservant, who is over half a hundred years old, is dressed in leather shoes, a light gray white shirt, a black bow tie tied around his neck, shiny leather shoes, and meticulous hair.
The woman in front of the manservant stretched out a small hand with a lace hand, slowly stood up with the support of the manservant, lifted the corner of her long skirt, and walked up the stairs with small steps.
After getting out of the cabin, the sunlight hit the intricately embroidered long skirt, and it turned out to be a golden light, probably because the embroidery thread was mixed with gold thread.
A man in a blue military uniform greeted him, with a palm-wide brown belt tied around his waist, and the metal belt buckle turned out to be a relief of a tiger's head, which was very eye-catching.
The man in military uniform, with blond hair and a young age, smiled very well, "Marquis Sosa, welcome to Tavaré. ”
The manservant whispered a word in the woman's ear, and the woman's gaze swept over the face of the man in military uniform opposite, his face was calm, and he said in a cold voice: "Call me Victoria." ”
"Yes, Lady Victoria. The blue eyes smiled like a crescent.
The men in military uniforms led the way, the valet held up a large umbrella to shade the marquise, and the three of them passed through the line of armored sergeants until they reached the steam cart on the shore.
The man in military uniform opened the car door, and the manservant put away his umbrella and helped the marquise to sit in the car, reaching out to close the door, but the door did not move.
The man in the blue military uniform held the car door with one hand, smiled at the manservant and said, "Thank you, the car behind you has your seat." With that, he lowered his head, got into the steam car, and closed the door with his hand.
The vehicle starts, leaving a stunned manservant standing in place with an umbrella.
"My name is Jacques, you should know, I'm from the Empire, from Castia. The man in military uniform adjusted his sitting posture and said thinking about the Marquise opposite.
The Marquise found that she did not bring the folding fan she was used to, so she had to reach out and press the neckline of the square-necked dress to cover the smooth and delicate skin of the mutton fat color.
Raising his head slightly, his brown curls were full of bouncy, and his diamond-covered headdress folded a ray of sunlight, "Then what is your position?
"Naturally, it's the kingdom of light......," Jacques said, pulling the collar of his military uniform, "I'm going to be worthy of it." ”
The countess twitched her delicate nose slightly, not wanting to speak to the man in front of her anymore.
What about being good-looking, good-looking traitors.
The steam car moved smoothly, and the men and women in the car were silent.
Victoria de Sousa, the only marquis of the Duchy of Stuart, came to Tavaré on the orders of negotiating with the Kingdom of Light.
Stuart has always been the most powerful of the three principalities, and after seizing the central part of the New World as a colony, the national power has been raised to a new level, and the Stuarts gradually feel that they can already wrestle with the royal family.
Unexpectedly, news came from afar, and more than half of the colony was lost overnight.
Then there was even more bad news, the core city of the colony, Tavaré, was also captured by the Kingdom of Light, and the returning army was defeated on the outskirts of Tavaré, and after the loss of troops, they returned to Candelrac City only to find that the city of Candrack, which was holding the river valley, was also occupied by the army of the Kingdom of Light.
At this time, although the colony still had thousands of soldiers left, it was rootless and had to retreat to the northern coast to wait for support.
Unfortunately, at this time, the Duchy of Stuart was in a tense period of mutual declaration of war with the royal family and the Duchy of Cartia, and there was no time to support the colonies.
The annoying "Beijing News" also mocked that if the Duchy of Stuart could not protect the interests of the empire in the New World, it would be better to give up the colony, and the royal family would regain the lost land, but before that, the Grand Duke of Stuart needed to publicly apologize for the previous misdeeds, and the recaptured land would also be incorporated into the royal colony.
In this context, the governor of Neutra was looking forward to local reinforcements, but the Marquis de Sosa was the only one.
She's here to negotiate.
......
Known as a "traitor", Jacques was angry, so he didn't bother to pay attention to the beautiful woman opposite, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Looking at the street scene outside the car window for a while, the marquis felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and thinking that the servant had reminded her that the young man in front of her was in charge of receiving her, not out of politeness, but out of lubrication of the relationship between the two parties, the marquis took the initiative to say: "Has Monsieur Jacques been to the New World before?"
Jacques opened his eyes and replied, "There was a trip across the New World a year ago. This is also the second time I have come to Tavaré. ”
"I'm visiting the New World for the first time, can you tell me what you think the New World looks like?" asked the Marquis.
"A land of vitality and opportunity. Jacques replied, "I like it." ”
The Marquisess blushed, missing her little folding fan a little, clasped her hands together awkwardly, and said slowly: "I thought that Mr. Jacques's opportunity was encountered in the Kingdom of Light." ”
This woman is still taunting me, endlessly!
"I feel like my biggest opportunity was in the port of Mousse in Castilla. Jacques emphasises that he is from Castia.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot that I actually came out of the New World, Medis, the great city built on the top of a hill. Jacques added, and then began to introduce Medis City.
The Marquis had seen paintings depicting the Medis, and in Jacques's description she imagined the city on the top of the hill, revealing a hint of hope.
"So, I should be considered a native of the New World, and welcome you to my hometown. Jacques laughed.
"Mr. Jacques, you are mistaken, Tavaré is a colony of the Duchy of Stuart. The Marquis said solemnly.
Jacques waved his hand, "Marquise, you are wrong, this land originally belonged to the Navajo tribe, the Pequet kingdom, the Cheyenne, and the Tavaré tribe. After all, all of us came to the New World to make a living.
By the way, I wonder if the Marquise knows where the aborigines who originally lived in Tavare have gone?
Some time ago, the army of the Kingdom of God rescued hundreds of aborigines who were enslaved by plantation owners on the west coast, hasn't slavery been abolished, not to mention this, guess where these aborigines migrated from?
The Marquise didn't want to say, yes, they were the last Tavarés. ”
