It was already nightfall, and the sun was sinking reluctantly to the west, leaving only the last remnants of the half-obscured sun, and the glow of the sky spread everywhere, as if the whole sky was burning.

The dim golden light shines through the glass windows into the room, making the otherwise ordinary household seem to be dyed with a blurred color.

In front of the giant floor-to-ceiling mirror, Charlotte kept stroking Charles, who was standing next to her, with a serene smile on her face.

"Charlotte, is that enough? We've been delaying for a long time......" After standing for a long time, Charles finally felt that he was tired, and looked at his cousin flatteringly, "Aren't you tired?" ”

"I'll do it in a minute, Charles, I'll just do it one last time." Charlotte replied softly.

"But that's what you said half an hour ago?" Charles sighed helplessly, "Actually, you don't have to dress up so seriously, right?" Not many people pay attention to what I'm wearing anyway......"

"Well, we're the protagonists of tonight, and we're going to be a joke if we do it casually!" Charlotte interrupted him directly, "Charles, don't underestimate the social media comments, if you make a joke tonight, you will become the laughing stock of Paris in a few days." ”

"But I don't particularly care...... " Charles whispered hesitantly, but finally shrugged his shoulders and gave up trying to persuade Charlotte to stop, allowing her to continue.

Fortunately, this unspeakable ordeal did not last long. At the moment when the sun finally disappeared below the horizon, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief and put an end to the huge project she had carried out with her own hands.

"Alright. Shire! ”

Charles, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, refocused his gaze on the mirror opposite.

Oh, that's pretty good!

In the mirror was a young man with a golden haircut, dressed in a night gown, wearing a ribbon and medal that he had just received, and he looked heroic. His face was very handsome. The expression is very calm, looking like he has the full energy of a young man, but also brings some political calmness.

Although I don't know if it's worth it to spend so much effort to dress up. But Charlotte's painstaking appearance is really good, and it even makes Charles wonder if the person in the mirror is himself.

"How's it going, Charles?" With a sense of complete satisfaction, Charlotte asked Charles in a low voice. It was as if she was waiting for Charles to compliment her.

She is wearing a white silk dress today. The chest is dressed with a rose ornament to set off the exposed skin more and more white and translucent, and the blonde hair is carefully tied in a bun, shining golden in the afterglow of the setting sun. She was now radiant, and her whole being was filled with happiness and joy, and she looked even more beautiful.

"As long as you're satisfied." Charles said with a deliberate face.

Before Charlotte could get angry, Charles immediately continued, "Of course, great. Thank you, Charlotte! ”

"Thank me for what?" Charlotte's eyes narrowed with laughter. "Alright, let's go together, time is about to be delayed!"

At this time, you know that time is delayed...... Charles smiled helplessly.

However, even so, he was very happy in his heart.

Then, he reached out and took Charlotte's hand. "Well, let's go."

…………

When the two of them slowly walked down the stairs hand in hand, the already crowded hall of the Duke of Treville's palace became even more lively, and the two protagonists, who were carefully dressed, were naturally admired by everyone.

Well-dressed, how can it be just two protagonists?

Perhaps in order to reward Charles' recent contribution to the family, when Charles and Charlotte decided to hold a banquet in the Duke of Treville's mansion, the Duke and his son were quite cooperative, allowing Charlotte to toss around at will in their own mansion, and Charlotte naturally did not skimp on the budget, and wanted to make the first banquet he and Charles held together beautiful.

Thanks to the efforts of the master, the Duke's Mansion, which was already very exquisite and luxurious, was once again dressed up by the servants. The guests in the hall were all well-dressed, men in dresses, women in skirts, and a jewel under the light of the crystal chandeliers on the ceiling.

However, although he became the center of attention, Charles and Charlotte did not have stage fright, and walked down the stairs unhurriedly.

When the two of them had just walked to the floor of the hall and greeted the guests with a smile, I don't know who started the coaxing, and suddenly the guests in the hall applauded, making Charles and Charlotte look at each other and laugh.

"Looks like the guests are in a good mood tonight?" Charles said with a smile.

Although he was fortunate enough to be the protagonist of the glamorous high society for a while, Charles did not feel much happiness in his heart, but a peace that even surprised him.

However, although she was not excited, since Charlotte was happy, Charles certainly wouldn't spoil her interest, so she deliberately pretended to be in high spirits. After all, isn't it enough if she's happy?

"Then let everyone have fun, but don't ruin everyone's interest." Charlotte replied with a smile in the same way.

"That's not my forte......" Charles hesitated slightly.

"Then don't do anything, and listen to my arrangement with peace of mind, right?"

"Well, tonight I'm yours, beautiful Mademoiselle de Treville." Charles replied graciously.

"Not tonight...... "Charlotte's face flushed slightly. You will always be mine, dear Monsieur de Treville. ”

"Oh yes." Charles nodded, "That's true, Lolot. ”

Hearing the long-lost title of "Lolot", Charlotte's face turned even redder, which was undoubtedly her happiest moment.

As if shy, she looked away at the guests she had invited.

"What a perfect moment it was!" As if to speak her mind, she sighed in a low voice, "It's a pity that there is only one point, this is not our home after all......"

"We're going to have a home like this then, even more magnificent than here." Charles replied in a low voice. "And you, you will be there to entertain our guests, like a queen, Lolot, and I will give you all the qiē I can get."

Since this was Charlotte's happiest moment, Charles certainly tried his best to keep her happy, but it was also his intention, so it wasn't a joke.

"Oh, Charles!" Charlotte shook Charles' hand, "Don't keep talking about this, you're going to make my heart break!" ”

"It's my pleasure." Charles also held the other's hand tightly.

Amid the applause and cheers of the guests, the two men joked with each other in a whispered voice, as if they had forgotten where they were.

However, they soon reached the middle of the crowd, and the guests began to gather around and greet the two of them.

Charles kept a proper smile as he casually looked around the hall.

To his slight regret, he didn't know most of the attendees, despite their young faces—but not surprisingly, Charles didn't have many friends in the social world because he didn't like to attend social events, and more of Charlotte's friends came - and, of course, a lot of people came to join in the fun.

As with most social banquets, men and women in ceremonial dresses are divided into small circles according to their social networks, chatting and laughing with each other while watching the party organizers. However, although they were guests, some of them looked at Charles with unfriendly eyes, and some of them were obviously mixed with jealousy and envy.

Obviously, it is needless to say that high society has a bitter regret for the sudden fall of such a famous kaolin flower as Mademoiselle Charlotte de Treville.

At the thought of this, Charles couldn't help but feel even happier - what man wouldn't be upset by this?

But to be honest, it's better if you don't know it, because there is no stake, so you can easily get rid of it, and the people you know are troublesome.

Because, immediately afterward, Charles saw Joseph Bonaparte, also in a tuxedo, in the midst of a crowd.

As soon as their eyes met, Joseph Bonaparte had a smile on his face, and then nodded cordially at Charles, as if intending to come over and greet him.

Joseph Bonaparte's remarks immediately made Charles's good interest disappear by a small half, he didn't want to waste his mood to be cozy with the other party at this good time, what should he think of to avoid him?

Fortunately, he soon found a solution - he found his friend Albert de Foa-Grassy approaching him. He immediately gave Charlotte a look, and Charlotte understood and immediately walked towards Albert with Charles.

"Albert, when I see you alone, I suddenly feel how happy I am." Charles greeted with a slight mockery.

"Yo! What an enviable couple! Albert's brisk voice dispelled the unhappiness that had just risen in Charles's heart, "Is this a special demonstration for a bachelor like me?" ”

"What? Are you jealous too? Charles laughed, "If you're jealous, then find one too?" ”

"Oh! It's better to be free! Albert also replied with a smile, "I don't know what's good about tying myself to another person!" ”

"Albert, I really don't know who can restrain you?" Charlotte said coldly, "Do you want me to introduce a friend to you tonight?" ”

"Oh? Yes! ”

"Phew, are you serious? I'm not going to do such a stupid thing! ”

"Hahahaha!" The three young men couldn't help but laugh. (To be continued......)
