Chapter 328: Shanaiduo's Queen's Special Training
Rosa, presumably like her daughter, is a tsundere. @ι@ζ’¦@ε°@θ―΄, although he said that he wanted to let Shanaiduo face everything alone and become a real strong man or something. But before Sinlos could think of any excuse to persuade her, the elegant lady got up and went to the Doge's palace with the Count and the two peas.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
The fiery lady covered her face with a feather fan, and cast a dissatisfied look at the earl with dead fish eyes: "I was going to visit Governor Allen, as an aunt, by the way, what happened to my niece?" β
It's okay if you're happy, and you're going straight to Shanaiduo.
Although Miss Salian lived in the Doge's palace in Britannia, all the specifications were those of the daughter of the Doge of Britannia. Naturally, no one would dare to stop the Habsburg Lady from coming to see her niece, and at the special command of His Excellency the Governor, these trivial matters did not even need to be reported to His Excellency.
Miss Salian, surrounded by a dozen servants, did not look like a guest lady at all, but seemed to be the master of the place. The neatly dressed servants bowed their heads and did not even dare to look directly at Miss Salion's face.
Of course, no one had any opinion on such an arrangement for His Excellency the Governor. Because before that, everyone had been badly warned by the governor of Britannia.
Conrad was very fond of his sister.
The childless Governor of Shinra doted on his sister very much.
The two-headed eagle of Holy Rome is a hopelessly dead sister, and whoever dares to touch his sister will dare to kill the whole family.
Not long ago, for some reason, a certain respected duke was suddenly attacked by unknown people, killing and injuring nearly half of his clan. Although the attackers did not reveal their true identities, there were only a few people in Shinra who could break through a duke's defenses so easily. With a little brain, you know who did it.
This had a great impact on the HRE. But intimidated by the majesty of Salian, the great nobles dared not speak out. Compared to other governors, Conrad can be said to have a very gentle personality. It was clear that there had been nothing wrong for decades, but the governor suddenly attacked. It was really beyond everyone's expectations. And the reason why Governor Conrad was so out of shape was that it was the Duke who struck the mind on his sister.
In this case, the lowly servants are naturally trembling and walking on thin ice. He didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of angering the noble lady.
"Long time no see. Auntie, Ellie...... Ah, this is little Christina. The arrival of several people obviously made the eldest lady of Salian very happy, and her originally soft voice became even gentle. Her pure eyes were full of joy, she hugged Ellie who rushed over, and her gaze fell on Xinluos seemingly unintentionally: "Mr. Fan Zhuo is also here, you, can you come...... I am happy. β
"You're prettier than yesterday, Shanaido."
It was obviously an ordinary compliment, but Shanaiduo's eyes clearly flashed with a hint of panic. The girl hugged Ellie. hurriedly said, "Ah, you too...... No, I don't mean anything else...... Well, sit, everybody, sit down......"
The man can be said to be handsome, but to say that he is good-looking, in the martial empire, it is a bit of a sissy to call him - unfortunately, a certain northern beauty is exactly like that. However, Sinloth had long since gotten used to his appearance and didn't care much. On the contrary, it was an unintentional mistake, and Shanaiduo looked very nostalgic. It seems that because he said the wrong word, he lost a lot of money. The girl lowered her head, and her eyes shone with a strange brilliance.
Miss Salian looked at Sinloth secretly, but didn't know how to speak.
Spring. It's such a beautiful season, and the little ones are starting to have their own thoughts.
Lady Rosa looked up at the blue sky, and suddenly some emotion rose in her heart. As a witch who has read many romance novels, although she has no experience in love, she can see such a classic reaction in her niece. It's really fun, too.
Both parties are a little embarrassed, and Madame Butterfly is lamenting her youth. The two children were unreasonable, and did not understand why the adults suddenly stopped talking. The originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
Shanado held Ellie in her arms and tried to speak repeatedly, but as soon as she came into contact with Xinluos's gaze, she quickly lowered her head. And when Sinlos saw Shanaiduo like this, he didn't know how to speak for a while.
Sinloth is eighteen this year, and Shanaido is fourteen this year...... It's a good match. Rosa silently observed the reactions of the two young men, and began to have her own thoughts in her heart.
Eighteen-year-old Sinloth can drag Desmond out of the abyss in a desperate situation, and he can be regarded as young and promising. Not only Wenzhi, but also martial arts - without his exploits in the Norman night raids, Basil would not have been able to rise to his knighthood so quickly. Such a man is indeed an excellent talent.
The two are the same age and have very compatible personalities. It's unknown what Sinloth thinks, but Shanaiduo is clearly very fond of Sinloth. With Sanaido's current ability, even with the assistance of Salian's vassals, it is still very difficult to secure the position of the governor of Shinra.
At this time, a competent husband is very important - and Xinlos is undoubtedly a very suitable person. Young and promising, energetic and courageous. Even better, he doesn't have a powerful family behind him, which makes Salian have no worries about the leakage of inheritance.
The most important thing is that Shanaiduo likes it.
It's a good idea to let Sinloth get involved. The only trouble lies with Mariana, whom Rosa admits is an excellent woman, not only in terms of appearance but also in strength.
But let's not talk about age, she deserves Xinluos......
Madame smiled, and countless thoughts already flashed through her mind.
"You all go down first, I'm going to talk to my niece."
Shanaiduo did not object, and the servants who could not ask for it bowed neatly, and then all withdrew without a word. Just walking, it's relaxing.
Seeing this, Shanaiduo's expression was gloomy.
Sinloth somewhat understood what Shanaiduo's problem was.
β¦β¦
"Shanaiduo, you must understand that you are destined to be the most honorable woman in the entire empire. As the next governor of the internal designation, you don't need to look at anyone's face except for those elders, and you don't need to take into account anyone's thoughts...... All you have to do is be yourself. β
Although Rosa's words were overbearing, they were not wrong at all.
The governors of the older generation were dying. It was only a matter of time before a new generation of governors came to power. As the core of the empire, the three provinces of Shinra, Dharma Demon, and Byzantium naturally attracted much attention. If all goes well, the Dharma Demon should be succeeded by the son of Louis, and Byzantium should be the young grandson. And the HRE. Naturally, it's Shanaiduo.
The empire has no kings, and Bashir has no princess on his knees. As the Governor of the HRE, no one can shake her title as the First Lady of the Shanaido Empire.
ββ¦β¦ I know you want to get along with everybody and want to be friends with everybody. But Shanaiduo, whoever can. But you're Sallyanne's daughter, so you can't. It is not for nothing that emperors call themselves lonely...... These words should not have been said by me, but Conrad and your mother...... Alas. β
Shanaiduo is a little different from other aristocratic ladies, who has been held in the palm of her hand by the Governor of the HRE since she was a child, and it is rare that she still retains the purest girlish fantasy. The world is so beautiful, she hopes to become friends with everyone, and everyone can be happy forever together.
But a girl's fantasy is like a bubble in the sun, no matter how beautiful it is, it will always shatter when it is touched by the coldness of reality. And left Conrad's asylum. After leaving the familiar surroundings of Shinra, Shanado had gradually realized this.
Whether it's in Dublin or in Rennes.
Although Shanaiduo is naΓ―ve, she is not capricious. She knew what she was carrying, and the heaviness of it could not help but make her willful. Although it is painful, the girl is still changing herself little by little. Make yourself steady and reliable, and get closer to the perfect leader in the eyes of your subordinates and clansmen.
"This fucking world ......"
Sinloth whispered, but didn't know what to say. Shanaiduo himself has already come to his senses, and as half a friend, he has nothing but blessings. What else can be said?
"I know, it's just...... I know it, but I always ...... in my heart."
The girl lowered her head, and it was difficult to hide her loss in her words.
It stands to reason. As a superior, it is a good thing for subordinates to fear themselves. Under the deliberate manipulation of the current Governor of the HRE, Shanaido has already gained the approval of some people. But for a fourteen-year-old girl, some things are always too early. There were countless people around her, but no one in the crowd was sincere to her.
Yesterday's ball was the best illustration of the Governor's power. The nobles didn't dare to alienate Shanaiduo too much, but they didn't dare to get too close to her. No matter what the nobles do, it will seem inappropriate, but the nobles who keep their distance have invisibly isolated the girl.
This feeling is terrifying when Xinlos thinks about it. He was lucky, though. He also has Ellie, Mariana, Nanorka, and a whole bunch of people who care about him.
"I can't help you with this, Shanaiduo." Rosa sighed, her eyes slowly swept over the few people in front of her, and said softly, "What I can do is to help you adapt as soon as possible." β
β¦β¦
"If you can't change the world, then adapt to it."
"Since you already know where your mistakes are, then as an aunt, whether it is from your own perspective or from the perspective of family interests, I will not allow you to go on like this. Got it, Shanaiduo? β
Shanaido nodded.
"Then, let me take the place of your mother and teach you some necessary knowledge." Rosa put away her feather fan, and her face suddenly became serious. The lady's sudden change also made the two lazy girls serious. Ellie and Christina sat upright, waiting for Rosa's lecture.
"Conrad must have hired the best etiquette teacher for you, you must know when to do something, what to say, and what expression to show. I will not repeat any of these here, but I will only emphasize one point......"
"That's momentum!"
"Put away that weak and bullying expression and show your strong side! Remember, Shanaiduo, you are the best! You don't fear anyone, all you need is the fear of others. Come, lift up your head...... Yes, exactly. Looking down at the person in front of him, he looked down on the ......"
Rosa gently lifted her niece's head, allowing her to look down at the crowd out of the corner of her eye. But it has to be said that this has no effect.
No matter how much Rosa wants her niece to show the side of the queen of shaking S, Shanaiduo will always be like a little white flower in the wind, which is lovable.
It's all a matter of temperament, and it can't be changed at all for a while.
Rosa is obviously aware of this problem, but as she said, a leader who is weak and weak even in speech will never be able to give confidence to his subordinates. Madame tapped her feather fan on the table a little irritably, thinking of what to do.
What you have realized on your own will always have a deeper understanding than what others have told. Originally, I wanted to let Shanaiduo change on her own, but now that she has intervened, then Madame Rosa will definitely not give up halfway.
It's just that how to change a person's temperament in a short period of time still needs to be carefully considered.
The countess's eyes sparkled, and she looked at her niece, who was secretly looking at Sinlos, and already had an idea in her heart. I saw the Countess come to Shanaiduo's side and whispered softly for a while. Not knowing what Rosa had said, Shanaido turned her head suddenly, her eyes full of horror. And a conspicuous shame also fell into Xinluos's eyes through the veil.
The girl covered her face, as if she was very shy. But after a long time, she nodded slowly.
It wasn't until she saw Shanaiduo nodding that Rosa looked happy. With a calm smile on her face, she came to Xinluos's side, and said to the earl and the two little girls: "Wait a minute, you need a favor from Xinluos, don't worry, it won't make you too embarrassed...... Christina, Ellie, you have to take a good look at it for me later! β
The two little girls didn't know why, but they nodded obediently.
β¦β¦
So, somehow, the five of them entered Shanaiduo's boudoir.
Although this era does not have as strict rules as ancient rabbits, the boudoir of a noble girl is not accessible to everyone. What's more, Shanaiduo is the daughter of the governor. If the governor heard about it, he would have to slaughter him.
"Don't worry, none of us will say it."
Governor Allen is undoubtedly very attentive to Shanaiduo, for fear that she will not be used to living in it, so the design and layout of this boudoir are all in the HRE style. As far as Sinloth is concerned, it's quite exotic. Rosa comforted Sinloth as she took off her shoes and climbed onto the couch in Shanaido's room.
Although it was spring at this time, the weather was unusually hot, and this time she came to see her niece, so Rosa did not wear too complicated dresses. The glamorous woman lay down on her side on the soft couch, staring directly at Sinloth with fiery eyes. She supported her chin with one hand and her right leg slightly raised. With the witch's movements, the long skirt that reached to the top of her feet poured down, revealing her slender legs wrapped in stockings.
The naughty beautiful feet seem to be a little shy, and they dodge gently. It's just that this seemingly unintentional small action has caught the earl's attention. In the Count's calm heart, a scorching flame began to burn.
Sensing the Count's gaze, Rosa reached out and grabbed the corner of her skirt, covering her feet, and between her red lips opening and closing, full of ambiguity: "Am I beautiful, Xinluos?" β
Looking at the pair of little feet that disappeared under the skirt, Xinluos showed a hint of reluctance in his eyes, but he still said righteously: "Don't be like this, madam, I'm a serious person." (To be continued.) )
PS: I'm a queen control, sick control, foot control...... You bite me
I'm afraid that some gentlemen here don't understand, so I'll explain it again. Shanaiduo is actually Conrad's daughter, not her sister, but this is the secret of the highest level, and most people don't know it, as for why Rosa knows...... It's an aunt after all. Anyway, no matter which way you look at it, Shanaiduo is always the first in line to the throne.
