What is nobility?

According to rumors, nobility is self-ashamed upbringing, omniscient wisdom, inexhaustible wealth, power to stand up to the heavens and the earth, or an innate identity......

In short, nobility is the whole pursuit of high society, which was Miss Emily's perception of the whole world.

Then she meets Siegfried, and her understanding collapses.

What is nobility?

Calm as a pool, gentle as water, empty eyes, not angry and self-assured.

As he stood there, heaven and earth radiated around him, and when he spoke, there would never be any evil thoughts in his heart.

He is the one, the center, the spokesman of God walking on earth, the collection of all good and beauty throughout the ages.

He is noble.

Miss Emily's heart was beating uncontrollably, her little face was flushed, and her soul was flying away, looking down at the end of heaven and earth, there was still only one picture.

Siegfried put his arm around her.

The so-called gentleman is obviously holding the waist of the lady she met for the first time, but what Miss Emily can feel is only the support and support of nobleness, not mixed with the evil thoughts of men and women.

In this way he led her out of the dangerous confrontation zone, and unhurriedly returned to the end of the grassy slope from which he had started.

As soon as her footsteps stopped, Miss Emily returned to her spirit, and she was full of shyness, reserve, and hesitation, all kinds of emotions.

"Na...... Mr. Nallo......"

Acharin smiled and nodded in response, "Am I abrupt, Aini?" I shouldn't have been holding you like this, was I? ”

"No...... It's not ......"

"Is that like? Or are you frightened and weak? I won't let go, and you can rely on me. ”

Miss Emily blushed with shame: "No...... It's not ......"

Acharin saw this, and as soon as he reached out, he grabbed Miss Emily's clenched fist and gently covered it on her waist-hugging hand.

"That's it, Anie. I'll leave the decision to you, and when your legs and feet regain their strength, you don't have to tell me, okay? ”

What a gentle man!

Miss Emily felt her soul float up again, her body completely out of control, nodded to herself, and gently squeezed out an "um" from the depths of her throat.

What the hell am I doing?

The embarrassed young lady was so embarrassed that she didn't notice that Acharin had looked away, and the expression on her face changed from gentle to solemn.

"For men and women alike, reputation is the most precious treasure in their souls."

He proclaimed loudly like a preacher, his body like a javelin, and his indiscrepable majesty rose to the sky, and at once shook Miss Emily back to reality.

"Whoever steals my purse will only steal some waste, some illusory substance. They passed from my hand to his, and they were slaves to thousands. ”

"But whoever steals my reputation, he will not be rich by it, but I will be destitute because I lose it."

"Mr. Officer, it's your sin to accuse me of being a thief. Foolish sins may be forgiven, but slander and jealousy cannot be forgiven! ”

"The price!"

Yacharin shouted, and Lorraine, who had watched the play for a long time, pulled out the long knife on his waist.

"Will you bear the price alone and gamble for your life with the leader of my guards, or will you hide like a coward in the crowd and let these incompetent sergeants die for you?"

"Choose!" He ended his speech with the strongest pause.

"Choose!" Lorraine bites the tone and teaches on the spot.

"Choose!" A group of guards who don't speak French at all are learning and selling, and their voices are shaking the world.

Zilned's face turned pale.

He is a proud man and an excellent soldier, and he has never suffered defeat in either the love field or the battlefield, but this time, he seems to be doomed.

Why?

He couldn't figure it out.

Under the threat of death, his mind did not become sharper, he still did not know how the situation had come to this, he did not know how to remedy it without losing dignity, and he could not even be 100% sure whether it was a dream or a reality......

Maybe when the buckshot got through his chest, he would scream and sit up from some girl's bed, like the end of every nightmare?

Death...... Is it the end of the dream?

Zilnede giggled without warning, the more intense the laughter became, the louder the laughter became.

Just as he was about to burst out of laughter, he suddenly heard Miss Emily's cowardly voice.

"Rao...... Forgive. ”

"Huh?" Acharin and Zilned were shocked at the same time.

"Forgive...... Mr. Narlo. Miss Emily buried herself in Acharin's chest, summoned up her courage, and pleaded softly, "Mr. Captain has offended you, and you have countless reasons to put him to death. But...... But he is my father's honored guest, and a welcome feast will be given to him at home tonight. If he dies here......"

"I didn't expect ......" Acharin hesitated for a moment with a twisted expression, "If he dies, you will be blamed by your father, right?" ”

"Yes......"

"In that case...... Are you hungry, Aini? ”

"Those sailors can't shoot seabirds, and the reckless captain won't eat bread......"

"Poor boy." Acharin let go of Miss Emily's waist, put her arms around her shoulders, and kissed her lightly on the forehead through the veil, "Then eat at my place, although there are only some simple dishes, but at least the wine is good." ”

Miss Emily blinked in confusion: "Mr. Nallo, about the guilt of Mr. Captain......"

"Major, please dine with us." Acharin Yun smiled lightly, and suddenly blew the tip of Miss Emily's nose affectionately, "The Lord has sent angels to redeem you, only hoping that you can learn to be pious." ”

……

The sun sets and the moon rises, and the night is in the blink of an eye.

Leloran was full of people, sumptuous carriages flowed endlessly, and nobles who were rarely seen in the past crossed the streets and alleys in groups of three or five, and drove to the same place in unison.

Tonight, the Speaker of the Regional Council, Sir Prio, will host an official welcome dinner in his home for the captain of the Defence Fleet's frigate, Major Zilned.

It's a great time.

The host of the banquet, Sir Prior, was the richest man in Lelorand, and his family controlled three of the most fertile plantations in town, with a total area of more than 2,000 acres, and more than 1,000 black slaves.

The guests of the banquet were the most handsome and graceful navies in the Caribbean, who were not only unrivaled in popularity, but also the best young officers in the entire French colonial fleet.

Leloland's location on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, and the town's gentlemen relied heavily on the defense fleet, so this banquet was significant, whether it was the host or the guest, but if the relationship with one of them could be further developed, it would be a huge victory for the local celebrities.

What's more, it is rumored in the circle that tonight is the debut of a more noble big man at Leloland's banquet.

Although due to security and other reasons, the person who pushed down the status of the guest of honor and would hide his true identity, but because of this, the celebrities were excited.

There are very few people who know that existence, who knows who he is with, and there is only one in a hundred who can find him out of the vast banquet, and once successful, it may mean an exclusive social interaction that lasts all night.

How much profit can this experience generate for the family?

The gentlemen thought excitedly, talked, laughed, and looked forward to it, and the atmosphere of the banquet had already reached its first climax before it really began......

On the other side, inside the mansion.

Miss Emily, dressed in a beige whalebone corset, held her chin and stunned in front of the wide dresser.

Lady Prio and her sister arrived, and the laughter was clear before they could even get started.

"Aini, let's see how beautiful the heroine of the night is?"

Miss Emily looked back blankly, glanced at it, twisted her neck back, and sighed deeply.

Madame couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Aini, I heard that you have been a little distracted since you came back from today's hunting, don't you...... Hunting didn't go well? ”

"No, Mother, today is the best date of my life."

"The best?" The eldest sister smiled clearly, "Mother, it seems that Aini is in love!" ”

"Are you in love?" Lady Prio was so excited that she couldn't help herself, "Sure enough, sure enough, Captain Zilnede was as gentle and considerate as rumored, and it was obviously the first time they met, and they actually made Ani fall in love!" ”

"Captain?" Miss Emily recalled Zilned's clumsy behavior during the day, and pouted boredly, "He's good, probably, the women of the hinterland who have never seen the world probably can't resist his charm." ”

The lady and the eldest sister heard that something was wrong.

"What? There's a third person on today's date? ”

"We just happened to meet ......," Miss Emily fell into a happy reminiscence, "he had come to visit the elders in Leloland, and he happened to be on the beach today, and by chance, he invited me and the captain to have a humble Chinese meal." ”

"Ahh Simplicity is what he said, obviously too luxurious. There are authentic French dishes prepared on the spot, simplified into a nine-course dining order, just like a father entertaining guests. Mother, is there thirteen courses of authentic French food? ”

Madame Prio frowned and thought for a long time: "I seem to have heard my girlfriend say that only the most elaborate nobles still retain the habit of thirteen dishes. The main reason is that there are too few chefs who can cook authentic French food, and there are only a few in the whole of Martinique, and most of them are concentrated in Fort-de-France......"

"No wonder he wasn't very satisfied, although he had always behaved mildly, he said three times that it was simple, and that only the wine was good."

"What wine?"

"The liqueur is freshly blended, the champagne is Pinot Noir and the dry red is Porto...... Mother, do you know? It turns out that Porto under Louis XIV tastes the best, but unfortunately, we only have Louis XIII today. Fortunately, Champagne was the pinnacle of the fifteenth century, and if it weren't for that, he would have blamed himself even more. ”

Miss Emily unintentionally threw bombs one after another, and Madame listened to it again and again, and the eldest sister was already stunned.

"You just said it was a simple meal for an outing?"

"Yes, the freshly picked, on-site baked berry bread is delicious, and the sugar-free sauce is completely different from the jam at home!"

He ...... Aini, you know him...... Is that the name of the one obscured? ”

"Mr. Nallo? He said his name was Siegfried, and what a beautiful name, beautiful, and noble. ”

"Siegfried. Narlo...... Ziggy. Feng. Narlo...... Madame took a deep breath, "Aini, I want to tell you a secret, about the real guest of honor at tonight's banquet......"
