Chapter 85: Acting
Hopping into Margaret's pre-prepared vehicle and leaving Ense Station and entering the real community, Donald's attention was quickly drawn to his surroundings.
Unlike the grandeur of Demmingham, the city of Ense may not be as large as the city known as the pearl of the sea, but it makes up for it on the inside.
The cars driving on the streets are no longer the black, square, and unsightly cars that Donna had in her impression, but all kinds of remodeled versions.
A brass mechanical sports car with a very low chassis, in the driver's seat is a man wearing a pair of round-framed sunglasses on a black background and a red scarf fluttering in the wind around his neck.
Obviously, this is the trend of the moment.
The two-legged ones resemble mechanical creations of ostriches, the upper body has been hollowed out into a driver's seat, and a young man dressed as a scholar sits inside, and the circle around the cockpit is plastered with patronage banners.
This is a guy who takes to the streets to experiment with his new work in order to get new sponsorship.
A mechanical pigeon was mixed with a flock of white doves parked on the street lamp poles, and it swung its head back and forth with its "kind", swaying from side to side until its owner had finished breakfast below, waved at it, and then broke away from his own group and flew to the shoulders of his master and squatted.
There are no waiters at the entrance of the larger shops to attract passers-by, but instead there are delicate dolls, dancing a veritable mechanical dance, and occasionally you can see a beautiful maid doll wearing a maid's costume with her hands folded on her waist.
While Donna was observing all this, suddenly, the bright sunlight disappeared, and large shadows were cast around, and she turned her head to look up with some confusion.
A huge airship no less than the size of the crash at Dmingham was flying through the sky, and the white mist ejected from the thrusters could not be dispersed for a while, so that it became a large gray cloud, and the sunlight penetrated through it like a dream.
"This is the Industrial Revolution, right?"
After looking around at the surrounding scenery, Donald retracted into the car and turned to Pamela, who was sitting beside him.
"Renas is much worse than here..... Those untouchables know all day long that they are going to assassinate me...... I've been listening to the steward's suggestion lately to reform the city and give some benefits to the untouchables, and they won't assassinate me, right...... I wonder if I'll be able to see this in Renas when I get back. ”
Sewvett Talos is somehow a spoiled paranoid child, except that he hides his true face with evil deeds and arrogant arrogance, and Donald wants to show that the tough mask is shattered in that assassination attempt.
He wants to make a change, but it's a gradual process.
"Master Sewit, I don't think you should call the people untouchables, this is disrespectful to them, the people are no longer the slaves of the past, they have their own rights and obligations in the decades of reform process of the Lane Empire!"
Pamela, who has always been old-fashioned, immediately furrowed her brows when she heard Donald's remarks about being a pariah, and retorted in a deep voice.
Margaret, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned up slightly at the corner of her mouth, and did not make a sound to stop it.
In fact, she brought Pamela over this time for this scene.
"Those people tried to assassinate me, and they mocked me behind my back all day long, laughing at me, what is such a guy who is not a pariah?"
Donald said nonchalantly.
"You should first realize why they are assassinating...... No, those people didn't assassinate you at all, did they, in Renas's investigation showed that the other party was a group of quite powerful aliens, and there were even awakened-level powerhouses among them, do you think that there would be awakening-level aliens among the ordinary people?"
"Who knows if those guys hired it, if I knew it was like this, I should have let Burnet ...... all those untouchables in the first place"
A little impatient, Donald raised his voice, his expression gradually gloomy.
"You are sophistry, you should know that Awakened-level aliens will not accept the hiring of a high-ranking nobleman or not, and their employment fees are not affordable for ordinary people!"
Pamela was also a little angry at this time, and her previous good impression of the young man beside her had dissipated.
Margaret listened to the arguing and was ready to interrupt, her goal was to keep Sewit Talos until no one in Ense would get used to him, and not to make him completely resentful of Pamela, who would become Sewit Talos's attendant for some time to come.
No matter how bad Sewit Talos's personality is, his identity dooms her or Pamela to really hurt each other, otherwise even Miss Mayvis will be useless to protect them, and the Talos family will not allow any servant who dares to hurt a member of the family to continue to exist in the family.
"That'...... Forget it, I don't want to fight you. ”
Just as Margaret was about to speak, the voice of the sudden weakness in the back seat made her eyes widen.
Sewit Talos actually relented!
Looking up at the young man in the rearview mirror of the car, he was rubbing the cat in his arms with his head down, pinching its ears as if to vent something.
Margaret subconsciously thought about what Miss Mayvis had said when she left the hotel.
"Sewit Talos was a spoiled man from a young age, he was naïve..... It can even be said that he has never experienced the real society at all, and he hides behind his mother's back all day long, and if it weren't for his mother's death, I'm afraid he wouldn't have left the family and gone to Renas at all!"
This is one of the few impressions that Mavis has of her own brother.
Because this is not Renus, and there are no trustworthy guards around them?
Or did the previous assassination make him realize that he was not as fearless as he imagined, and that there are still many people in this world who don't care about his identity at all, so he is overreacting now?
Thoughts came to her mind, and Margaret soon realized that this might be good news.
A fearless nobleman and an extremely sensitive nobleman frightened by assassination, the latter is undoubtedly easier to control!
Swallowing back the words that had already come to his lips, he cast an encouraging look at Pamela, who was looking at her in the rearview mirror, a little overwhelmed.
Well done!
Pamela was actually a little flustered after saying what she had just said, not so much that she thought her words were wrong, but that she was afraid that Selvette Talos would be provoked and sabotage Miss Mayvis's plans, and that she would become a sinner.
Who thought that not only did not provoke the other party, but instead made them see a cowering Selvette Talos.
At this point, it should be almost the same, it should be able to make them let down their guard against me to the greatest extent, a young nobleman who has no talent and is frightened, no matter how he says, he will not pay attention to it.
Donald, who was stroking Finger, quietly gave a thumbs up to his acting skills in his heart.
