0189 DAY3: EVE OF THE STORM
Overnight, many strange rumors hatched in the streets of Lelorand.
Some say that "the pirates are preparing to sack Leloland, and the Lucky Horseshoe has been ordered to retreat from the enemy", and there are those who say that "the pirates who ransacked are the direct fleet of a certain pirate king, and the bloody battle with the defense fleet in the open sea has ended".
There are those who say that "the pirates have been successfully repulsed, but the defense fleet has suffered heavy losses, and the Lucky Horseshoe is the only uninjured battleship", and there are those who say that "the Lucky Horseshoe escaped from the battle, and the defense fleet was completely wiped out".
Some say that "the Admiral of the Defense Fleet was killed, and Zilned was promoted to the Admiral of the Fleet", and some say that "Zilnede betrayed France, and this time he came to fight for the pirates".
There is also the saying that "the news about the pirates is just a despicable lie, and Zilnede spreads panic so that he can rush from the station to Leloran to pursue beauty under the guise of public welfare......
Every message has a believer, and every believer declares that what he hears is the truth.
They quarrel during the purchase, quarrel during the meal, try their best to convince the other party, and constantly add fuel and vinegar in the process of persuasion, leading the rumors in more and more strange directions.
Romance runs through the veins of the French, and compared to the legends of the pirates, Captain Zilned's desire for beauty is the real delicacy.
[Miss Emily's declaration of celibacy is an outright lie, she and Captain Zilnede had a marriage contract two years ago, and this time, the captain also came to consummate the marriage]
[Everything in the marriage contract is fake, but Captain Zilned's admiration for Miss Emily is true, and in order to hold the beauty, he made a promise to Speaker Prio to join the council, and received a positive response]
[There was no positive response at all.] Sir Prio looked down on the lowly Captain Zilned, so yesterday, the captain forcibly took Miss Emily's virginity in the woods in the name of hunting.
[Miss Emily and Captain Zilnede are in love with each other and have a private agreement for life, and Sir Prio is angry and publicly declares that he wants to use his connections to ruin the captain's future]
It's confusing......
This concentrated and scattered rumor was so destructive that in just one morning, speculation about Zilned's relationship with Miss Emily had transcended class and become the hottest topic of a hearty breakfast in high society.
They are far more familiar with the two protagonists than ordinary people who hear about them, and their interpretation of this love story is more in line with the traditions of the aristocratic world.
Zilned, who is known as a playboy, Miss Emily, who is a fledgling but shows amazing charm, and Siegfried, a stranger who is unknown to ordinary people and whose identity is mysterious but must be extraordinary. Nallo.
Last night's banquet was wonderful, and the unknown Monsieur Reynaud rose to prominence, taking almost all the attention of the nominal guest of honor, Zilnede, as Mr. Narlo's guide.
Ironically, the fox was murderous on the tiger's back, but the tiger always protected Zilned, and the cunning Sir Prio was in the middle, which saved Zilned's face and allowed him to get out of the way.
There was also last night's unforgettable Shura Field, where Zilned, Siegfried, and Emily, three young people, staged a big show in front of the town's celebrities, and until the banquet was over, the audience could not guess the wonderful relationship between the three.
Is it two men fighting for wives? Or is Emily in love with Siegfried, Siegfried in love with Zilned, and Zilneder in love with Emily's triangle loop? Or maybe the young lady and the captain fall in love with the mysterious noble young man together, and smear a forbidden purple light for the jealousy of the wind?
How long has it been since Lelorand had such a confusing love?
How much more will these three wonderful young people contribute?
Everyone cares a lot, and with the help of rumors, the whole Leloran is paying attention to this misty ore sadomasochism!
As one of the parties to the story, Zilnede got up in good spirits and, with the assistance of his adjutant, put on his most proud regular clothes.
Last night's banquet was something he will never forget.
An obscure small manor named Renaud launched a raid on him, and the entire Le Loren abandoned him, nearly ruining his reputation.
He was completely ill-equipped for this, and naturally he could not deal with it properly.
Fortunately, when he lost his armor and was about to encounter the disgrace of his life, the mysterious Siegfried who he had only met that afternoon, extended a helping hand to him.
Immediately afterwards, the wind in the venue reversed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the celebrities were no longer aggressive, and even the organizer of the banquet, Sir Prio, offered him a good offer.
Although these precious kindnesses were not enough to completely turn the tables in the duel with Renault, at least he maintained his dignity as the guest of honor, and was able to walk out of the Sir Mansion with his head held high at the end of the showdown.
Is this called not fighting and not knowing?
To be honest, Zilner felt that he couldn't see through Siegfried as a person.
Siegfried clearly had a distinguished status, and there were many people in the town who knew about it, but no one would come and tell him.
The first acquaintance between the two parties was not pleasant.
Zilnede wanted to frame Siegfried and hurt the other party's life, but he suffered a crushing defeat in front of the opponent's elite guards.
Siegfried could then humiliate him, but at Miss Emily's request, Siegfried gave up. not only gave up, but also invited him to enjoy a top-notch French meal, and took the initiative to hand over an olive branch of reconciliation.
The same is true at banquets.
Confident, gentle, noble, tolerant, rich......
In Zilned's eyes, Siegfried was almost a perfect man.
But such a man miraculously appeared in such a remote seaside town as Leloland, and magically became involved with the humble Mr. Renault, and magically became friends with him and Miss Emily......
Probably friends, right?
Siegfried had been passing on kindness to him, and at the end of the banquet yesterday, he solemnly invited him and Miss Emily to Renault Manor for afternoon tea and dinner!
Zilnede no longer values a mere game of beauty.
Even if Miss Emily's chastity was the original purpose of his visit to Leloland, now that God had put a more precious opportunity in front of him, he would never miss it!
Thinking of this, Zilnede carefully smoothed the faint folds on his collar and patted his face heavily.
Invitations in the afternoon are crucial! To be upright, to be rigorous, to be respectful, to show the quality of an excellent talent, to continue to strengthen Siegfried's favor for him.
By the way, Siegfried seems to have a fondness for Miss Emily's beauty, and when the time is right, he can push it and do his duty to assist, and from then on he will become a nobleman and rise to the top.
That's the plan!
Zilnede clenched his fists to cheer himself up.
For a better future, in order to get rid of the lowly status of the lowly nobles and concubines of the last class, and get a broader stage of life, the plan must succeed!
There was a knock on the door, and the adjutant nudged open the door with a stack of papers, and stood silently beside him.
"Second Lieutenant, is there any news that would interest me today?"
"A lot, sir." The adjutant pressed his voice and handed over the paperwork, "There are many messages that you are interested in, but it will make you happy...... Probably not. ”
Zilned's brow furrowed deeply, and he took the paper and read it carefully, and the more he read, the redder his face became.
"These ...... Where did you get these hearsay? ”
"There's a lot of talk about you and Miss Emily going on in town, and there's no shortage of slander, and I've given Mayor a stern warning."
"But the crux of the matter isn't here at all!" Zilnede was furious, and slapped the heavy paperwork on the adjutant's face with a flick of his hand, "Solemn warning? You want to tell everyone that I ever thought about the Speaker's daughter? ”
"Uh......" the adjutant covered his face, "I don't really understand what you're saying......"
"Then learn to understand! You are an adjutant, and it is your job to understand the thoughts of the superiors! Idiot! Zilnede gasped heavily, and out of the corner of his eye suddenly swept to the clock on the mantelpiece, "Twelve...... It's time for me to go to the appointment. Settle things out of order before they are completely out of control, and don't let that gentleman from Renault Manor misunderstand me in any way. ”
"Yes...... Be! Mr! ”
……
Renault Manor, Horse Farm.
Lorraine and Acharin sat side by side on their horses, looking out at the bright summer sun.
"There was an emergency last night, I thought I didn't explain it clearly enough, but I didn't expect you to really catch my thoughts."
"Actually, I couldn't guess the captain's mind until I compared the rumors you concocted with the news from Mr. Renault."
"Really? Then how did you come up with the idea of inviting Zeneld together? ”
"Because of the theatrical principle, once the plot reaches its climax, the main characters must gather in the center of the stage."
"Makes sense." Lorraine smiled and nodded, "But now that you've seen it, I don't need to explain the next script, right?" ”
"No need." Yacharin stretched out his arms in front of him, like a soliloquistic mournful actor, "Throw high, throw high, throw again, throw again, until the heartstrings break, and the hapless Major Zilnede will not have a moment of peace and relaxation." It was a storm, and he doomed the ship to be destroyed. ”
"It's okay to die. Luckily the Horseshoe is a good ship, and with so much effort this time, we should have some input, otherwise the board of directors will have an opinion. ”
"Yes, sir."
