171. Nance's ambition
The rich people of Shin-Yokohama have a lavish dance party that never ends.
Everyone enjoyed the glitz and glamour, and the artists showed a brilliant temperament, and they were more interested in how they could perpetuate their privileges than in the fairness of society.
For Sister Marlene, today can be considered a happy day.
There was nothing wrong with her gown, the tulle shawl did not slip even a little, the roses in her ears were delicate and watery, and the crystal heels on her feet did not hold her toes uncomfortably, all of which made her feel pleasant.
The buttons on the long glove were all fastened, and none of them were loosened, and the long glove wrapped around her hand, but did not change its outline. The round black velvet collar of her burgundy gown wrapped around her neck particularly softly.
The *** arms on her gloves give Nance a soft rice cake touch.
When she smiled, her eyes sparkled, and her rosy lips were slightly red and swollen from the long kiss. All the men wanted to dance with her, but she ignored the ubiquitous accostings and looked intently at Nance.
"I feel like you've become so much more beautiful today......
Nance wrapped her arms around her slender waist and slid straight to the dance floor without asking her opinion.
Sister Marlene smiled, her light steps moving with him.
Her bent left hand rested on Nance's shoulder, and her little silver-white heels began to move swiftly, lightly, rhythmically to the beat of the music on the smooth floor.
The lilting dance music of the waltz flowed over the ballroom.
Sister Marlene was not in a hurry to ask the question, and as she danced, she looked over Nance's shoulder and around the ballroom. She doesn't behave like an ignorant girl who can't even dance when she first comes to the ball, nor is she a social queen who knows all the faces in the banquet hall by heart.
She's somewhere in between.
She is now a famous wife, and she is excited to see everything around her with a different vision.
In the left corner of the ballroom, Sister Marlene saw that the best of Shin-Yokohama's social scene had gathered. There was Mrs. Shimamura, who was naked and naked, and she was the president of the Bunge Grain Company; There is Ling Jiadong, Cargill's boss; Mayor Aribayashi and Shuichi Akasaka;
In the right corner of the ballroom, there is Du Xiuxian's family and the housekeeper of the Saste family.
Sister Marlene even saw the Three Princes.
That prince even stared at Nance with resentful eyes.
The local forces and the forces of the imperial capital are clearly separated from each other, but they are intertwined...... It's complicated.
"What are you looking at?" Nance asked suddenly, and spun her partner sharply.
"I'm counting how many people you've offended......" Sister Marlene said, dancing lightly. Her thin, flesh-colored slender ankles were exposed, and her skirt was fan-shaped, blooming at her feet like a sea of flowers.
Nance strained his hand: "I will offend more people in the future."
Sister Marlene returned to his arms with a pungent scent, her graceful body.
"How are you going to offend?" She looked at the man in front of her and nodded her head a little in approval.
"Kick them out of where they are, of course."
Nance said ambitiously.
The bad nun is also his own person, and he doesn't have to have any scruples like he did in front of Du Xiuxian.
"Oh?"
Sister Marlene was surprised. ap.
"Do you know the nobility?" She asked.
"To be honest, I don't know much, but I guess it's inseparable from the three aspects of speech, wisdom, and honor......" Nance put her arms around the bad nun's waist and looked down at her smooth forehead, "I think that for the people of the aristocratic class, once they lose their absolute superiority, they will become weak and powerless, and the people will immediately overthrow them, and all privileges will disappear."
Sister Marlene's eyes lit up,
Then he shook his head again: "The aristocracy is not so easy to overthrow."
"The nobility is not weak, but the power of the people is stronger." "For the people, if the rulers of the people are strong, they will naturally be respectful and obedient. However, when they find out that the nobility is not as strong as they think, they will imagine the nobility as incompetent kings and persecute them."
Sister Marlene had thoughts.
"In a word, the style of the aristocracy is a symbol of power; When they lose their power, they perish; Every system has its years of calamity and suffering. At that time, the minds of the people will take on a different form, and politics will completely change its form......
"But you know, times are different now, and weapons are different." Sister Marlene interrupted him and said amusedly, "In the past, with a team of knights, they could put on chain mail and wield a spear to conquer a territory. Today, science and money and power form a balanced and strong iron triangle that can suppress all restless elements."
She was not wrong at all.
Take, for example, the current situation in California.
The speaker of Shin-Yokohama, who holds power; The speaker of the parliament has the world's largest and most advanced arms company in his hands, holding science and technology; The Speaker also used his connections to collect huge sums of money on California soil; Under the iron triangle of power, technology and money, even the empire is extremely jealous of him.
Listening to her words, Nance asked, "What if the Speaker gets slapped in the face by a small section leader in a row?"
"Uh, ...... you," Sister Marlene glanced subconsciously towards the left corner of the ballroom, "now?"
"How is that possible?" Nance's hand slipped and pinched her upturned peach buttocks, "I'm holding you Marlene right now, and I don't want to let go at all."
"It's not serious at any time!" Sister Marlene gave him a charming white eye.
Nance smiled and hugged her charming body: "When the people of California find out that the speaker who rules them is not as powerful and majestic as they imagined, the resentment that has accumulated for a long time should explode."
Sister Marlene lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "We need a leader. This man must be eloquent, with the insight of a man of letters, the shrewdness of a businessman, the strong will of a statesman, a savior who concentrates many glorious virtues in one."
"I think the one ...... off the list"
"I think you're more appropriate!"
"I don't really have much time......
Sister Marlene smiled charmingly, "It's okay, you're just a symbol, a totem with a bit of a mythical nature. Leave the specific affairs to the people behind the scenes."
Nance thought to herself, you want me to rebel too?
"To outsiders, you are the savior who can single-handedly conquer the whole society, and you should combine it all. Just as the aristocracy has a monopoly on material, you can monopolize all the hearts and minds of the people and become the soul and spirit of California. Only if you go out in person, give orders, and lead the civilians by the nose, this is the premise that I am willing to listen to you say these things."
Sister Marlene finished saying this in one breath before she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the lips with a smile.
「…… I thought you were thinking of Clegg." Nance said a little speechlessly, "I heard you mention him before, and I still had a vague idea of investing in him, so I thought that when the time comes, I will teach him something, let him be busy in front of the stage, and hide away to be a spiritual mentor."
"You're so stupid!" Sister Marlene looked at Nance shyly with her swan-like neck and clear, kind eyes, "Marlene is more inclined to see her crush as a radiant savior than to invest in an outsider."
"Is this confiding love?"
"What do you think, Mr. Adel?"
"I am very happy to hear your words." Nance replied, "To this day, I don't know what happiness is."
"So, you know now?" The bad nun looked at him with a sly look.
"From now on, happiness for me is to see you and hear your voice. To what you gave me
Sweet moments, I'm sure; Whether I'm asleep or awake, I'm thinking of you......" Nance said, shrugging his shoulders with a smile, "Okay, stop, we're down to business now."
"It's also a good thing to talk about love!" Sister Marlene's small fist slammed into his chest.
Nance pinched her ass again, "Why don't you feel disobedient at all when you're old?"
"You can't speak!"
Sister Marlene was so angry that she lifted her heels and stepped on his feet.
"Ah, it hurts......" Nance made a pain-twisted expression in cooperation.
Sister Marlene smiled happily and stared into his eyes, "Listen, I'm a coquettish, and I wear different masks when facing different men. When you are with carefree people, you should also be happy; When you are with ambitious people, you should be sleek and exquisite; For those who speak endlessly, it is necessary to listen with pretended appreciation; Talk about the war with the soldiers; with cynics, to scold the injustice of society; Giving everyone a small compliment is the essence of a courtesan, and this mask is as essential as the flower arrangement, the diamond jewelry, the gloves, the gorgeous gown on my head."
"I'm sorry, but you're not a courtesan right now." Nance hugged her by the waist and dragged her off the dance floor, "Ms. Marlene Garcia, now Nance is Nance's lover, this is something that everyone in Shin-Yokohama knows."
Sister Marlene winked innocently, "So I don't have to be coquettish in the future?"
"I'm going to punish you for saying anything like that."
"How to punish it?"
"You won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow."
"Do what you say~"
Sister Marlene snuggled into his arms, and together they moved off the dance floor to the floor-to-ceiling window.
The night obscured the black waters and the garbage floating on the sea.
The island area opposite Victoria Harbour is brightly lit.
"The first time I looked at the other side from this perspective, I naively thought it was a paradise." Nance hugged the warm and soft body of the Bad Nun, and her eyes met the bright lights of the city, "But after being there once, I learned what ultimate control is. Anyway, I don't like Shuichi Akasaka and the Empire, so it's better to use the whole of California as his base camp after Shuichi Akasaka falls."
Sister Marlene thought about something, but did not speak immediately. Nance hugged her from behind, thinking, the lights shining in the mouths of the glasses. After a while, Sister Marlene suddenly said, "I'll just say, why is Shi Qi so anxious to make a name for you, it turns out that you want to take this opportunity to rebel."
"Well, Tokizaki doesn't know what's going on in my heart."
"That's you rebelling behind your back."
「…… I didn't rebel either. California is a self-governing state, and I just want to support a person to be governor, and I don't say that I want to build my own country." Nans said righteously, "I, Adel am an official with an organization, how can I be treasonous!"
Sister Marlene gave him a blank look and asked, "How sure are you?"
"It's actually quite big." Nanston forgot what he had just said, and stared out the window and said, "Generally speaking, people are reasonable, and only when instigated by those with bad intentions will they cast their conscience aside. This so-called conscience is what kind of patriotism, law-abiding and the like. As you can see, in California today, wealth is concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, and the pyramid structure that divides people into three classes is very strong, and the lives of the people at the bottom are struggling. At this juncture, if someone jumps out and takes the lead and shouts "We need fairness", it can provoke the anger of the people."
Sister Marlene thought for a moment and said, "It is not impossible if the person who takes the lead can provide a lot of money and good equipment......
"It only takes a few words to cause a great revolution. In this regard, there are countless cases to follow in history. When people rise up in revolt, they have always tried to reconcile people, things, and principles to fight for the greatest fairness. Although the final result of each time is nothing more than a repetition of the mistakes of the past, there is only one
Only after repeated attempts can we find the most correct path......
"Well, my revolutionary mentor, after listening to your words, Marlene has benefited a lot." Sister Marlene turned to Nance with a gentle smile. Glancing at him with a quick, feminine gaze, "Shall we go to Marlene's room and continue to give Marlene?" Marlene's bed is very large, and when she is tired, she can go straight to sleep and rest......
「…… I'm afraid you won't be able to eat me."
With her arms around her shoulders, Nance walked through the ballroom as the crowd watched, to the lounge area on the top floor of the Universal.
Sister Marlene has her own resting room here.
Once inside, Nance slammed the door.
The décor of the cottage is faithful to a certain quiet atmosphere.
An electric heater turned on, brandy on the table, a glass bottle of flowers, and a vintage record player; On the wall hangs a printed painting: a Western beauty drowning in grass and flowers, bathed in moonlight and sleeping.
Sister Marlene picked a record and put it on the record player, and gracefully poured two glasses of brandy.
Nance got up and wanted to go over, but she looked at her with a charming and gentle look.
There was an unusual power in this look.
Wait, it won't be that...... Queen, would you like to take a nap and let me exercise?
