Chapter 221: Pear Blossom Falling (Part II)
Marcelles's performance is shocking, because this woman has always been graceful in front of people, even if her husband has become a little frivolous and charming after his death, she has always been calm and calm. y?K?A N?S?H?U?· C?OM?
And there has never been a gaffe like this.
"You...... What is this for, is it too late to show your remorse now?" Demeyer was stunned at first, and then showed a look of disgust, which seemed to him that this woman had made such a delicate gesture with rain pear blossoms in order to deceive sympathy, and even for a moment he felt as if his heart had been grasped by something.
"No...... I'm sorry, I made everyone laugh...... I'm fine, it's just a little thing...... I ......"
Marcelles tried to control his emotions, but found that as soon as he opened his mouth, thousands of thoughts rushed out like a tidal wave bursting on a levee, and tears flowed uncontrollably in his eyes, so that he desperately covered his mouth and nose with his hands to hide the cry.
"That's enough, don't you act anymore! Don't you insult your brother enough! After so many years, if you had even the slightest bit of longing for your brother, you wouldn't have made such a debauched act! My brother is admired and respected by thousands of people, why did he marry a shameless woman like you! People here are not fools, who do you cry to, you ......?"
"Demeyer, don't say any more!" Unexpectedly, it was not Marcelles himself who interrupted Demeyer's fierce rebuke, but Paparoni, the emperor's chief staff who had been watching from the sidelines??? ?? ?? ? ·y K A?N SHU·COM
The old general stepped forward, ignoring de Mayer's astonishment, but went straight to the heartbroken duchess, and handed a napkin as a comfort.
"Thank you, Mistress Paparoni!" Seeing this, Marcelles finally adjusted his mood a little, and reached out to take the cloth towel to take the opportunity to sort the tears from his face.
It's just that such a scene makes many people around look puzzled, because Paparoni, a highly respected figure in the army, is still very prestigious, and this approach is obviously biased towards Marcelles, even considering that the other party is a woman, it is a bit inappropriate, after all, Demeyer is not so mean to the duchess for no reason.
"Old fox, aren't you bewitched by this woman, beware of your reputation!" said Alphonse, dismaylessly.
Paparoni, however, was not moved at all, but left behind his toughness as a soldier and said to Marcelles with the compassion of an elder:
"Mrs. Dosigon, it's been so many years, do you want to keep going on like this, and it's time to say something!"
"Your Excellency...... I ......" the duchess choked up again when she heard this.
Paparoni shook his head helplessly, turned to the somewhat indignant Demeyer and said:
"You really shouldn't be so rude to this lady!"
"Lord Paparoni, though I have great respect for you, I forgive you for not agreeing with this! This woman and her brother are well known to all, and if you cannot give a convincing reason, I think those present will not agree with you!" replied de Meyer, suppressing his anger.
"Your brother's death is indeed a great regret, it is an irreparable tragedy, but the matter of him and this lady can be distorted by others, but you should not, not only because doing so is a negation and insult to your brother, not to mention that you yourself have received great favor from this lady!"
"Favor, Lord Paparoni, this vain woman who has been anxious to break away from the Dosaigon family after my brother's death, and then treated us relatives coldly, if this is a favor, then I would rather not!"
Demeyer looked very excited.
"You're completely wrong...... Of course, it's not all your fault, let me tell you the truth today! In the second year after the death of your brother Brigny, you took the initiative to apply for transfer to serve in the field army he once commanded, and at the end of the year, you were sent to the friendly Duchy of Genehope to help it defend against foreign enemies, but you did not expect that when the front line was at its tightest, you were framed by the country's military minister and intercepted the supplies and armaments for support, and once fell into the danger of the rout of the whole army, and finally happened to encounter a large caravan in transit and got the other party's generous gratuitous material assistance to escape, do you remember?"
"I remember, but this ......"
"In June of the following year, while supporting the northern frontier, your party got lost in the complex terrain of the Crevor Gorge, and finally managed to get out of the land of death thanks to the guide of a traveling caravan, as must Commander Alphonse know. ”
Alphonse nodded in confirmation.
"At the end of the same year, you contracted a cold and a high fever during the rapid march on the side, and when your life was dying, you escaped the call of death with the secret recipe offered by the traveling caravan.
Another year......
...... Until the middle of last year, a chamber of commerce donated a large sum of money to the field army to help maintain the field army transit posts set up throughout the country, alleviating the urgent need for the military department to almost shelve some abandoned posts due to the shortage of funds. The high-ranking generals of the field army, who are responsible for managing the transit post, have become the most crucial vote to support your decision to be elected deputy commander of the field army when the high-level generals of the field army are adjusted later.
You remember all these things!"
"It's like yesterday's dream, and I haven't forgotten it!" After recalling, Demer's mood stabilized slightly.
"There's a very strange coincidence in this series of events, I wonder if you're aware of it?!" asked Paparoni, and many of the people who had listened to the whole account were thoughtful.
"How could I not be aware of this! All the help I received in all the incidents pointed to a chamber of commerce called 'missing', so I also became close friends with Mr. Norland, the president of this chamber of commerce, I often joke about these coincidences as if he deliberately sent someone to deliberately stare at me to take care of them, although he always said that he did not dare to take credit for the coincidence, but I have to admit that he and his chamber of commerce are indeed the lucky stars in my life, for which I will always be grateful to stick to the friendship between us!" When talking about the experience that made him proud, Demer's face finally regained its light.
Paparoni bowed slightly:
"It's good that you can have this idea, a man who stands up to the sky will never forget his kindness. But what would you do if I told you that none of these things were coincidences! And Noland, the president of this chamber of commerce, is actually a loyal servant to Madame D'Ausigon!"
