Chapter Eighty-Six: Freya de Chevali (Subscription Requested!! )
What the eldest prince was thinking, Ma Wei felt that he should be clear.
He would not pity Helena, nor would he persuade the communication like a saint....
Coming to this point and becoming a political victim is not unrelated to Helena's own choice.
As the lover of the eldest prince Charles, Helena gained fame and wealth, she was the eldest prince who became popular, even if it was not her, the eldest prince Charles could also be popular with other dancers.
Of course, the eldest prince Charles's behavior of treating Helena as an object and changing hands wantonly made Ma Wei feel very uncomfortable and even a little disgusting.
But he must admit that there are too many pickled things among the nobles, and there are many more dirty things than this.
This is power, wanton drive, the power that can decide life and death, so that ordinary people have no power to resist at all.
Even if you want to resist, you will often pay a terrible price, and the punishment in exchange will not be painful for the perpetrator.
This is the law of survival in the natural world, the power is greater than everything, but the civilized society is not the natural world, and the reason why civilization is called civilization is because it has a unique set of operating rules and order, rather than simply developed science and technology.
The behavior of the eldest prince reminded Ma Wei of the awakening.
Whether it is a church or a kingdom, once there is factional division and group competition within the church, its order must be chaotic.
Just like the Kingdom of Windsor, the three princes competed for the throne, and the nobles and gentry stood in line and united to form interest groups, and whoever won in the end would become a new ruling class, and the dirty things they did would naturally disappear.
Who can judge them?
Mavi looked back at Yunia, who was following Rosanna, with a small plate in her hand and constantly tasting the pastry.
The coming of a god is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as the god is just and discerning between right and wrong.
"Mr. Nicholas, let me introduce you..."
While Ma Wei was thinking, there were already many high-class people gathered around the eldest prince Charles, who were dressed in evening dresses of different colors, dressed up to attend, and the corners of their mouths raised friendly smiles....
After all, the people who came to this banquet were all members of their interest groups.
"This is Donald, the president of the London Pharmacists' Union, and this is Baron Lysley, the mayor of Yin Ling....."
The eldest prince introduced the members of his interest group to Ma Wei, like a peacock on the screen, showing his strength, hoping to attract Ma Wei's attention.
And he did, the president of the Pharmacists' Union, Baron Lysley... Ma Wei kept these names in his heart.
But....
As more and more people gathered around the eldest prince, Ma Wei secretly glanced at the pocket watch and found that it was already 8:10, and hurriedly said, "Your Royal Highness, where is the bathroom?" ”
"Just go out and turn left."
Seeing that the eldest prince asked a waiter to help him lead the way, Ma Wei hurriedly excused himself: "I'll go by myself." ”
"Okay."
Leaving Jonas to deal with these high-class people, Mavi hurriedly walked towards the outside of the banquet hall, and when he went out, he did not forget to take a look at Yunia, although Yunia had been eating snacks, but her attention was still on Mavi, and when she saw him leave, she quickly put down her plate and followed.
As people kept coming and going in front of the bathroom, Mavi took Yunia around the corner to the bottom of the empty staircase, took her little hand, and without hesitation, activated the ring that reproduced the heart of the jungle.
Swish!
The figure disappeared, and the next second appeared in the grove in front of Villa 4 on the north shore of the lake, Ma Wei tidied up his clothes and pulled Yunia towards the villa gate.
The banquet had begun, but the second prince Shukri was still standing in front of the door looking forward to it, glancing at his pocket watch from time to time, waiting a little anxiously.
When he saw Mavi and Yunia walking towards the villa, his eyes lit up, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and opened his arms to meet him.
"Nicholas! My friend! You're here! ”
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late."
"It's only been a few minutes, and the banquet has just begun.... Why didn't you see your two younger brothers? ”
"Oh, let's be honest, they're at a banquet at Villa 3, I've received too many invitations tonight, and I'm going to go to Villa 4 later." Ma Wei said frankly.
The smile froze on his face, and the second prince Shukri suspected that he had misheard: "Nicholas, you still accepted the invitation of Charles and Andrew?" ”
"Yes."
Ma Wei didn't hide it, he had already shown his face at the banquet, even if he didn't say it, the matter would spread the next day, since this was the case, there was no need to hide it.
Be honest, but it will be easier for others to accept.
The second prince didn't dwell too much on the matter of Ma Wei attending three banquets at the same time, and quickly cheered up and said with a smile: "I have invited a big man tonight, Archbishop Brandon!" ”
Hearing Archbishop Brandon's name, Mavey's eyelids jumped slightly.
As the archbishop who supports the second prince, Brandon is the biggest umbrella of the second prince, in order to avoid suspicion, Archbishop Brandon rarely appears at the same time as the second prince Shukri, today....
It must have come with a purpose.
In the banquet hall, Ma Wei saw Baron Frederick, Stewart, Smith and others, as well as Yin Lizabeth, the wife of the second prince Shukri, compared to the wife of the eldest prince, Yin Lisabeth seems a little mediocre, there is no way to deal with things like Roshanna, and the etiquette is very good, but it just makes people feel that she is not as good as Rozanna, her eyes are too simple, and she does not have the appearance of a scheming city.
Maybe this is just Ma Wei's illusion, maybe Yin Lizabeth is hiding it deeply?
Compared with the eldest prince Charles, the interest group of the second prince Shukri is also huge, but the quality is slightly worse, such as the vice president of the pharmacists' union and the mayor of Kingston in South London....
Yin Ling's district is in West London, the richest place in the whole of London, and the mayor there, although the level is the same as that of the mayor of Kingston, is completely different.
This is not to say that the second prince Shukri is worse than the eldest prince Charles, but the primogeniture system has played a role.
As long as Charles is not wrong, the throne must be his, unless the church intervenes.
But the Archbishop of Ublion, who originally supported the Great Prince, has become the Pope, and his successor, the Archbishop of Cambury, is also a member of the Grand Prince's camp.
The succession of the eldest prince to the throne seems to be a sure thing.
It's no wonder that the second prince Shukri is a little impatient, and whoever faces such an emergency situation can't settle down.
However, the influence of the second prince at Oxford University is not insignificant, and most of his interest groups are social elites who graduated from Oxford University, serve in various areas of London, and belong to middle-level officials who hold real power.
Even Professor James Morea, whom Marvey met yesterday at the Covent Royal Opera, came to attend the banquet hosted by the second prince.
"Nicholas, look...."
After greeting Baron Frederick, the second prince Shukri patted Ma Wei on the shoulder and looked at the center of the banquet hall.
There was a group of male aristocrats gathered around a beautiful woman in a long red dress and a diamond necklace.
The woman held a glass of red wine, the red wine reflected her skin more fair, and her smile was full of charm.
"Her name is Freya de Chevalli, her ancestors are Bourbon, and she became a nobleman of the Kingdom of Windsor by chance four hundred years ago, and she is a veritable duke and noblewoman to this day." The second prince Shukri said with a smile: "Her husband died of illness two years ago, leaving a large inheritance, whoever married her, but it will soar to the sky..."
Bourbons, who became nobles of the Kingdom of Windsor four hundred years ago?
Ancient is ancient, but this time node is a little subtle....
Wasn't it the time of the Hundred Years' War between the kingdoms of Windsor and Popang?
During that time, a Bourbon could become a nobleman of the Kingdom of Windsor, or a duke....
This has to be a mutiny with a whole legion, right?
"Your Highness, what do you mean..."
"Nicholas, we're all friends, I'll just say a few words from the heart." The second prince, Shukri, glanced at Yunia: "Emma is only four years old this year, it is the best time to get an education, you are busy with business all day long, how can you do it without someone at home?" Freya is the daughter of the Duke's family, and her family is wealthy, both in terms of status and wealth, which are beyond the reach of ordinary people. ”
"The Manstein family used to be an old Junker nobleman, and you are a good match for her in terms of status, if you marry her..."
"Isn't it a great thing that the Manstein family can not only restore the title of nobility, but also officially become the ducal family of the Kingdom of Windsor?"
