Chapter 127: Elizabeth in the Empire
The third time she looked through the complicated and detailed information on the desk, Elizabeth still felt clueless. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The information in her hand is the character information collected by the old Vernon through various channels and means after coming to the empire, and there is one thing in common, the name or pronunciation is related to the three words 'Attila', there are too many differences, the identity ranges from a noble and decent nobleman to a humble and poor commoner, and the profession ranges from an official politician to a lowly blacksmith, and it is almost impossible to find a place with the same trajectory, so in the face of these chaotic materials, I want to find out what her father often mentioned in his notes during his lifetime. Attila's clues were like looking for a needle in a haystack, and Elizabeth had no way of identifying the information that Augustus was trying to find through written sources.
She put down the last document in her hand, which was only 17 years old, and was an inconspicuous viscount heir in the imperial capital, and sighed: "According to the notes screening, if 'Attila' is really someone, at least this person's age cannot be too different from my father, but the basis for our judgment is only the guessed age factor, is there any other information with reference value in the notes? If not, I'm afraid we won't have any way to find this person in the Empire except for the hope of the goddess of fate. ”
Beside her, old Vernon, who was standing with his hands crossed over his abdomen, shook his head slightly.
Elizabeth sighed quietly, she came to the empire and tried to help Augustus find the 'Attila' mentioned in their father's notes, maybe she didn't know the full meaning and value of the three words 'Attila' to Augustus, but she was smart enough to be able to guess this through Augustus's usual words. Attila must have something to do with the inside details of the attack on Alfred's castle, because since the attackers could only come from outside the wasteland, then Alfred's enemies outside the wasteland could only be the people their father came into contact with outside the wasteland, so at least this 'Attila' would know something about their father.
Unfortunately, she and Vernon Sr. never managed to find this man.
"Mademoiselle, can you guess that 'Attila' does not refer to a certain person, such as the place where the Count met with a certain person?"
Old Vernon spoke slowly to give another room for speculation, Elizabeth's eyes lit up at first, as if she realized that the direction of this guess was indeed possible, but soon, she was gloomy again, if it was not a person but a meeting place, it would be even more impossible to find, first of all, there was no building or area called 'Attila' in the imperial capital, and secondly, she also realized that ' 'Attila' could also be a code code instead of the name of a certain place, if that were the case, considering that their father would always mysteriously disappear for a period of time during his lifetime, and the two of them would not know his whereabouts at all, this 'Attila' would be even more of an unsolved case.
After all, their father died too suddenly.
Helpless, Elizabeth could only let go of this big question again.
She looked at the dark night outside the window, hesitated, and finally left the desk and walked to the window, and then looked at the gate of the manor along the moonlight, which was not bright, and saw that the gorgeous and unrestrained carriage was still parked there, in addition to the faintly visible snake body and dragon head pattern badge on the carriage, she could also see a slightly chubby young man standing in front of the carriage, like a statue.
It was the second in line to the throne of Earl Clark, the powerful figure in the Imperial military.
It is also a suitor that makes Elizabeth have a headache and helplessness, from the time she arrived in the imperial capital and Sophia to attend the first dinner, the young master York of the Clark family began to pester her, at first whenever she left Sophia's Violet Manor, this young master York would always appear behind her at the right time, following her from afar; later, even if she stayed in the manor and did not go out, the young master York would wait in front of the manor, fully showing the perseverance and perseverance that a qualified noble heir should have, and also made Elizabeth annoyed, but there was no good way。
Refuse?
It's not that she didn't refuse, the point is that Elizabeth couldn't deal with Master York's 'I love you, but it has nothing to do with you'.
Drive?
Just holding flowers and waiting, neither harassing nor behaving excessively, who can easily drive out the heir of a powerful earl?
So in the face of such a suitor, not to mention Elizabeth, even Sophia can only be helpless.
She withdrew her gaze to the door, and was about to turn around, when she suddenly heard the horse's hooves trampling, The sound of the carriage swaying, and then when a delicate carriage appeared in her sight with moonlight, Elizabeth finally remembered that she had promised Sophia to accompany Sophia to a dinner party hosted by the Constantine family, it was said that the heirs of many nobles and nobles in the imperial capital would come, Sophia could not refuse, and Elizabeth could not bear to be tired and tired alone, so she decided to accompany Sophia to this boring dinner party that may not even have a name.
Such is the life of the Empire.
In the wasteland, it's going from one battlefield to the next, and in the empire, it's going from one dinner to the next.
It's not easy.
......
The carriage stopped in front of the manor, and a young girl in a gorgeous purple evening dress slowly walked out bathed in the moonlight, she had a suffocating beautiful face, a little light makeup, light lip red and lilac eyeliner created a thrilling texture, with the help of the servant, she stepped off the carriage lightly and elegantly, and then looked at the young man holding a bouquet of bright red roses opposite, she stood there, the moonlight was sultry, and her whole person was more and more cold and arrogant.
She finally walked over to the young man, and met the small proportions of the latter's fat face, and she said indifferently, "York, you should know very well that you are not welcome in my manor. ”
"So you see, I didn't walk into your manor. ”
The young man's subtle and frank answer made the girl frown slightly, she knew very early on that Clark, the heir, was stalking Elizabeth, but on the one hand, the latter had always followed the rules under the constraints of the rules and did not have any derailment, on the other hand, she was really anxious about the pressure within the family during this time, and she really didn't have time to take this matter seriously, so she didn't pay too much attention to this noble heir who could only be divided into second-rate circles in the imperial capital, but according to the current trend, York seems to have increasingly affected Elizabeth's normal activities in the imperial capital, which is what she can't bear, so she looked at York's fat faceLooking at the Clark family crest on the carriage behind him, she secretly decided that no matter what, this trouble that affected Elizabeth had to be solved as soon as possible.
She turned and walked into the manor, ignoring the trouble, which would not drag on for a few days.
Stepping through the wooden door of the manor, it was like a different person in an instant, she originally looked cold and arrogant, and after entering the manor, she hung a bright smile, which made it difficult for people to connect with her indifferent expression at the previous moment, and also made people have to marvel at her proficiency in her two personalities and two masks.
Elizabeth was changing into an evening dress with the help of a maid.
The girl walked into Elizabeth's bedroom, and quietly motioned for the maid to step aside, and then took over the maid's ongoing work, she tied her waist around Elizabeth, who was not aware of her arrival, and then, she skillfully tied 4 and white sashes into a bow behind Elizabeth's back, and couldn't help but praise: "What a jealous little waist, Elizabeth, your figure is becoming more and more fascinating." ”
Apparently she had just noticed that it wasn't the maid who was tying her waist tightly.
Elizabeth turned to look at the girl, not too surprised, and smiled: "No matter how fascinating it is, it can't compare to you, Sophia, are you really only 18 years old?"
Sophia, who had a figure that made Terina crazy as early as in the wasteland, smiled a little, and since she didn't know how to deal with it, she simply didn't deal with it, she smiled and stretched out her slender hand to Elizabeth's armpit, and the girl's crisp laughter soon sounded.
In this pleasant atmosphere, Sophia and Elizabeth sorted out everything they had to prepare for the dinner, such as at least two tweed coats, different shoes for indoor and outdoor use, petticoats, shawls, scarves, combs, jewelry pins, and most importantly, jewelry and cosmetics - oh my God, where could Elizabeth imagine a real dinner party so painful when she was in the moor? What's even more painful is that even the slightest omission in these details will destroy their most precious lady image, which is simply terrible.
......
The coquettish laughter that came from time to time in the manor made Young Master York, who was waiting in the night outside the manor, quietly close his eyes.
Then he looked at the 9 bouquets of roses that had withered and withered at the gate of the manor, and then looked at the flowers in his hand that were about to usher in the same ending as the 9 bouquets of roses, and Young Master York sighed: "A bouquet of roses 15 Bourbon gold coins, a full 10 bouquets is 150 gold coins, and this is all the cost of the visible side, plus what you can't see?"
Without turning around, he asked, "Luther, how many Bourbon coins have I won in one day at a time?"
In the shadows behind him, the personal butler named Luther was stunned, as if he couldn't understand the actual reason why his young master suddenly asked this question.
However, he did not need to understand, and quickly replied: "13,470 gold coins, you drank a glass of blood Ferret worth 9,000 gold Bourbon coins on a cruise on the Danube that day. ”
York was thoughtful, as if calculating something.
His personal butler quietly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately his young master asked about the most wins, not the most losses, otherwise he wouldn't be able to give an accurate answer even if he wanted to.
"I've been courting her for 9 days, 13,470 gold coins a day, 121,230 gold coins in 9 days, plus the cost of these roses, I can't believe that I have invested so much in this woman? This is probably the most expensive love in the entire imperial capital, isn't it? It's almost enough for me to sleep on the Danube for at least 3 days and 3 nights; I must take this woman quickly, otherwise old Clark's strong family background may not be enough to satisfy this woman's appetite." ”
Old Luthor was dumbfounded.
Even if he had always known that his young master's way of thinking was wild, was it too terrible to calculate his devotion to the young lady in the manor?
He hesitated and said, "But where is Her Highness Sophia?"
"Don't think about Sophia, she's just a sinner in the wasteland, even if it's her friend?, and besides, with Sophia's current situation, do you think she has what it takes to pry old Clark's tenacity?"
"Looks like you've decided to give up your elegant and reserved image?"
"Not really, I'll show off my elegance and reserve further in Clark's queen bed. ”
Old Luthor was speechless, and lo and behold, his young master was always so creative. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. (To be continued.) )
