Chapter 53: It's Interesting
It took Eugen a long time before he remembered that Baron Jacobs Calvin had also been introduced to him by Viscount Darmtast at the banquet in Kasselburg that day.
He couldn't help but feel very funny, why are these nobles so idle? As soon as I had finished attending a banquet in Kasselburg, I rushed to Vienna to attend again. Counting the time, these men arrived in Vienna two days later than him.
It was as if they had come here specifically for Eugen, and as soon as they came, they would trouble him in various ways.
In fact, it was pretty much the same, and these people did want to get some advantage from Eugen, the new earl. Viscount Harris wanted to gain some substantial benefits by clinging, and Baron Calvin wanted to use the conflict with Eugen to strengthen his reputation.
The seventeen-year-old Baron Calvin was a fun-loving nobleman, and he had a group of his fox friends who attended banquets for the purpose of attracting the attention of the noble ladies.
While Eugen was being challenged, Baron Calvin was boasting among a group of girls with several of his companions.
"Of course I know Count Eugen, and I had a conflict with him at a banquet in Kasselburg, and now I'm going to challenge him for you to see." Baron Calvin spoke as he spoke with his mouth wide open in the crowd, his two large front teeth protruding outward, almost as if they were about to be pressed against the nostrils of the girl opposite.
"Really?" A tall girl in the crowd said with surprise and suspicion, a look of distrust on her pretty face.
When the boy Baron Calvin heard that someone was suspicious of him, he turned around as if he had been provoked, and wanted to see who was so rude. As a result, Baron Calvin froze for a moment, and a beautiful figure appeared in Baron Calvin's pupils.
The tall figure is wrapped in a black feathered evening dress, with a certain mysterious and sexy temperament. The neck is white and delicate, like a noble white swan, and the most exciting thing is the innate noble temperament, which can be called a top iceberg beauty.
The moment she appeared, she became the focus of attention of this small circle. The boy's gaze never deviated from where she was, and the girl tried to stay away as much as possible, because if he stood next to her, it would become a backdrop to her beauty.
Baron Calvin was as excited as a bull with a red cloth over his eyes. He gasped and said excitedly, "Of course, not only do I know him, but I also have to overcome him." On Kasselburg, Count Eugen was like a farmer who was only interested in eating, not like a knight at all, so he could never be my opponent. ”
"So, dear Miss Margaret. If I defeat that Count Eugen later, can you be my dance partner tonight? Then Baron Calvin stooped down and made an inviting ceremony. If he can get Miss Margaret's favor, it will definitely be something worth bragging about for him for the rest of his life.
Mademoiselle Margaret's surname was the Medici, the most prestigious family in the Italian peninsula. And she herself is the granddaughter of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, and her status is second only to the royal heir.
In addition, she is also a well-known iceberg beauty. I don't know how many young talents have been haunted by her, but she has never expressed kindness beyond the boundaries to any man. There is even a saying in aristocratic circles: Whoever can conquer Margaret can conquer all the women in this world.
Baron Calvin looked forward to becoming the mighty conqueror, but Miss Margaret did not pay any attention to him except to say a word to him. Margaret was always looking around, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
The baron was like hitting an iceberg, and his enthusiasm couldn't be exuded, so he had to hold it in his heart. He was imagining in his mind that if he defeated Count Eugen later, he would be able to gain the favor of this iceberg beauty. In this way, he climbed the powerful Medici family and soared to the pinnacle of life.
It didn't take long for a little girl in a white gauze to make her way through the crowd and run towards her.
Baron Calvin's eyes lit up when he saw the little girl, and he hurriedly ran over and said happily: "How is it, Bellina, have you delivered my challenge book?" ”
A sweet smile appeared on the face of the little girl named Bellina, and she raised a napkin in her hand and said, "Of course, Brother Calvin, Count Eugen has also written back to you. ”
Baron Calvin hurriedly took the napkin, and the young men and women gathered around him to check it. Even Miss Margaret was curious, so she went over to Baron Calvin to check on the situation.
Feeling the fragrance around him, Baron Calvin suddenly became proud, and couldn't help but feel a little fluttering. He wanted to applaud his cleverness, and it was a good idea to challenge Count Eugen.
So, in the gaze of everyone around him, he slowly opened the letter that Eugen replied.
"Hello Dear Baron Calvin, I accept your challenge. And since you've asked me to make the rules, you're welcome. Our challenge is this: from now on, whoever contacts or looks for the other person in any way will lose. The loser, as punishment, agrees to the other party on a condition. "Signed: Eugen Habsburg.
After reading the words in the letter, Baron Calvin didn't react a little, so he scratched his head in confusion and muttered, "What is this?" And such a challenge? ”
The men and women who were watching around quickly realized what this meant, and they immediately looked at Baron Calvin with a smile on their faces, their eyes full of mockery.
Baron Calvin saw the mocking expressions of his companions around him, and said with some excitement: "Why, of course I won't lose to him in this challenge, what kind of expressions do you have." ”
Finally, one of his friends told him the truth: "Fool, they just want you to stick to this challenge and let you not go to him." Haha, you've been fooled, you idiot. ”
Baron Calvin, who learned the truth, suddenly blushed with anger, and the youthful amusement on his face was as bright red and bright as a small light bulb. He wanted to go to Eugen immediately to ask for an explanation, but the thought of the constraints of that challenge made him fall into a dilemma.
Who knows what conditions Eugen will make him agree to after losing to Eugen. If he is allowed to take off his pants in full view, won't his life be ruined?
When Margaret saw this challenge, a smile of understanding appeared on her face. She looked up at the location on the second floor of the hall and muttered, "Oh, this Eugen, it's quite interesting." ”
