Chapter 69: Beauty Trick 1
Because she had to go to the far north to find a way to rescue White Wing, Charlotte could not accompany Windsor to the battlefield because she was worried that Charlotte Windsor insisted on sending Listin to follow Charlotte and the four cardinals to the Far North. Originally, Windsor wanted to go to Sen, but was rejected by Charlotte, she couldn't help Windsor was already sad, and she couldn't accept it if she had to take away his greatest help, Windsor didn't insist on Charlotte's repeated refusals, and Listin learned that Charlotte was going to the Far North and immediately found Windsor to recommend herself, and finally Charlotte also nodded and agreed to Listin to join them, and now the group members who go to the Far North are set to six, namely Charlotte, Listin, Sissy, and three other cardinals: John, Lyle, and Clark.
Time was pressing, they only had seven days to complete, so they had to set off immediately, Charlotte and Listin were not draggers, and the four bishops were all living maps because they had been preaching all year round, since they didn't have to prepare anything, they set off that night, Charlotte and Listin Sissi had a carriage, and the remaining three had one, all the way north.
After Charlotte set out, the horn of attacking the royal capital was officially sounded, and the black army surrounded the royal capital, and the princes in the city became ants on a hot pot, so anxious that they could not find a way to save the glorious family that was about to perish.
The first street outside the palace walls is the gathering place of the royal princes, at this time this aristocratic street has long since lost its former prosperity and bustle, the doors of the houses are closed, and the condensed atmosphere makes the blazing heat discounted.
The owner of No. 31 on the street is the Earl of Beard, the Earl of Bilder claims to be the cousin of the first queen Ariel, in the early years because of the contribution of ten textile factories to the royal family and was awarded the baron, I didn't expect this person to be good at drilling, more than ten years later he became the hot earl on this street, the family wealth is very wide, if it was placed in the past, the Earl of Bilder must be the object of people's scrambling, but now the southern army is in the city, people secretly say that the Earl of Bilder may be the first object to attack after the Duke of Windsor breaks the city, He was annoyed but he knew that the tide was gone, and there was no point in arguing with those people about these useless things, and if they couldn't think of a way to get the Duke of Windsor to let them go, their end would come after the city was broken!
Martina saw the changes in the family, and she knew a little about the rumors outside, but what could she do? She was just a little girl who was less than eighteen years old, and the number of times she went out from childhood to adulthood didn't add up to her own age, what could she do? I could only watch my father and mother at home full of sorrow, but she couldn't do anything, and it was smooth sailing, and Martina, who was going to be windy and rainy at home, felt the taste of trouble for the first time.
Today, Martina was watering the flowers in the garden when she was secretly dragged into the corner by her maid and playmate Lucy, who had grown up since childhood, and there were roses standing in the way for fear of someone finding them, Lucy was still not at ease and looked left and right for a long time before she spoke at Martina's urging,
"Miss, it's not a good thing! I was looking for you in the hall and overheard the Earl talking to them, discussing how to present you to the Duke of Windsor, Miss! They want to use Miss to curry favor with the Duke of Windsor! ”
"Duke of Windsor? That big devil!? Finished! What to do? ”
No wonder Martina is so afraid of the Duke of Windsor, she rarely goes out to communicate with people, and basically the information she hears is passed on by relatives and servants at home, and it is no wonder that the Duke of Windsor has become the big devil in her ears.
"Don't be afraid, Miss, the Earl and Madame have always doted on Miss, as long as Miss doesn't agree, they can't do anything about you."
Martina's words comforted Martina, she had always been the most favored child in the family, and since she was a child, her siblings had to let her do everything, and this time would be no exception, as long as she shed a few golden tears, her father and mother would definitely feel sorry for her.
"But this is for the sake of the whole family, and if I refuse, won't I become a sinner of the family? How will I live in the future? ”
But thinking of the family's troubles, the Duke of Windsor became the one who held the power of life and death in the family, and her refusal to serve Windsor was equivalent to giving up the entire family, which made Martina panic.
"Miss, don't worry, Lucy has already thought of a good idea, although the eldest lady is far inferior in appearance to you, Miss, but she is also a well-known beauty in the neighborhood, let her seduce that Windsor will definitely succeed, and then Miss will become the queen's own sister, what good husband can't be found?"
A word of compliment Martina everywhere, she couldn't help but smile like a flower, Martina's beauty is indeed not Lucy boasting, it is really the most fragrant and dreamy fairy in the garden, which makes people feel relaxed and intoxicated, Lucy still can't help but be dazzled in the face of this beautiful face every day, Martina saw Lucy looking at herself in a daze, and nodded Lucy's head proudly,
"Okay, Lucy is smart, let's go, don't wait for the family to decide that I'll go later."
Martina's parents, uncles and aunts were all in the hall, and they were discussing something at first glance, but when they saw Martina coming in, they intercepted the conversation and looked at Martina silently, Count Bilder was a little weak-hearted, he always felt uncomfortable as if he was discussing to sell his daughter, and his eyes were dodgy, the countess had a headache and closed her eyes to recuperate, and the lady's sister Kate enthusiastically pulled Martina to sit down, this important person who is now keeping their glory and wealth must not be neglected,
"The great beauty who hasn't seen us for a few days is beautiful again, she is really more beautiful than that goddess!"
Auntie has never had too many good words, Martina has long been used to it, and responded to her with a faint smile,
"No one told me when my aunt came, and now the slaves in the family are going to rebel and dare to hide it from me!"
Martina has something to say, how can Kate not hear it, and secretly hate this stinky girl for speaking poisonous! The earl and the lady didn't seem to hear anything, they didn't say a word of teaching, Kate already knew the status of this girl in the hearts of the counts and the couple, and didn't expect them to say anything, so she gave a look to the invisible earl's brother Bor, who moved his fat body to show his existence,
"Martina, the elders of the family are gathered together today for one thing! For the sake of the family, you must agree to us. ”
Bol went straight to tell the purpose of the trip to visit her house, but fortunately, Martina had gossip, and looked at Lucy without showing doubt, and the counts also looked at Martina, as if they wanted to see their daughter's reaction,
"If your uncle asks for anything, just say it, Martina will definitely not shirk what she can do."
Several of the people present were satisfied with this answer, and Bol nodded,
"Well, I won't beat around the bush, now that the southern army is coming to the city, we princes will soon be in a big disaster! I heard that the Duke of Windsor is clean and handsome, so we hope that Martina will make friends with the Duke so that our whole family will be saved, and we will all be grateful to you! ”
