280.Chapter 280
That's pretty much it, and Victoria felt like she could stand out from the crowd at first. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info And for William, her evaluation is not low, and even she sometimes has the feeling that William is not the best of all the people in the same era.
But it's a pity, yes, it's a pity. Victoria felt that William had been born to the wrong country - if he had been born in Briton, he might have become the king of the world. If he had been born in Visigothic, he might have been able to become a continental hegemon as well. Even if he took a step back, if he had been the son of a certain king, or simply the son of the Gothic Emperor, his future would certainly be much brighter than that.
But William was neither. William was just the son of an ordinary and ordinary little nobleman. This made Victoria feel pity.
She felt that William was not well educated. At the same time, he also felt that William's family did not have enough strength and background to support his too large ambitions.
In Victoria's original plan, William, the Hereford family and Russia would become her important partners. It will help her maintain the balance of power and balance on the continent. And if William is obedient, the Russian kingdom, obediently crouched under the wings of Britton, may become a powerful pole in the Old World. But that's all, at least for the rest of her life, the new, weak Russia will not pose any threat to Briton.
She can do a good job of fiddling with the Hereford family, manipulating William. William, even if he was unwilling, would never resist or do anything stupid - of course, even if William did do that, she would have enough strength to defeat William.
But now, Victoria's self-confidence has been shaken.
William was not as uneducated as she thought, and in most cases only relied on his own extraordinary talents, and did not learn skills. She could feel that William had been well trained, and whether it was education, literacy, or anything else, he was by no means worse than the children of the great nobles.
At the same time, although the Hereford family is not rich in heritage and strength. But William wasn't just a guy who could spend money. He will make more money. In the shortest possible time, he used all his efforts to turn the extremely barren Hereford family into a well-known and wealthy man. The Hereford family's production, whether it is agricultural and animal husbandry products, light industrial products, or weapons, all have sufficient sales and sufficient prices.
This brought her attempts to control the Hereford family financially to the brink of bankruptcy.
That's it. The two things she had expected were no longer obstacles to William's reach the top. To make matters worse, she found herself in abilities that seemed, maybe, perhaps, even worse than William's.
It's unimaginable. She, the proud daughter of the Normandy family, who has been taught the strictest elite since she was a child, is even worse than William's ability.
If there's one thing Victoria finds the hardest to accept, it's certainly one of them.
Not all, of course.
To make matters worse, William's smooth sailing was not just his career.
His path to love is also a mess.
Whether it's a cousin of a childhood sweetheart, or the daughter of a nobleman who once looked up to her, it's good to be a daughter of a big nobleman who is not in the right household. He easily received it all in his room. Married life is happy and happy.
To be honest, this may be a point that Victoria is not able to accept.
Although he is very strong, although he thinks very highly of himself, although he ...... But at the end of the day, Victoria is still a woman.
Her desire for marriage and love is no less than that of the average woman. But at the same time, reason also told her that a woman of her status would never get any real love.
There are only two paths that await her. One of them is to recruit a nobleman who has enough talent, has no ambition and does not have much family, and then makes him his appendage.
Another possibility is marriage. A strong alliance with a powerful kingdom on the mainland, or a powerful power in Briton.
Or for profit, or for profit, or for profit. Victoria is well aware that her marriage is basically like this, and there will be nothing to look forward to. And as for love, it's even more of a joke.
"So, my fate would be so miserable - but why did that bastard William get everything I didn't have?!"
Victoria was indignant about this.
That's it.
Perhaps in another twenty years, Victoria will be able to look down on all this. Twenty years from now, Victoria may feel that when she was younger, all her cranky thoughts were all jokes. However, the fact is that Victoria is not yet twenty years old, and she is even two years younger than William. So she takes this kind of thing very seriously, of course.
And the result of her attaching importance to this kind of thing is that she either has it intentionally or unintentionally - no, it must have been intentional. Victoria has a heart on her mind to destroy William's family. The method is to show more or less that his relationship with William is not ordinary in front of Elise and Charlumie.
She certainly doesn't use overly intimate gestures, gestures, or words. But her performance was absolutely just right. That's a degree that makes a stupid guy like Charlumi can't see it, but it can also make a smarter woman like Elise see it. If you are leaving, you want to refuse and welcome, and you want to talk and rest.
This is also the reason why Elise has not seen anything right during this time.
Victoria's tactics were successful. Elise begins to doubt William's relationship with her. And the very bad thing about this kind of thing is that it's very hard to tell.
When this kind of thing happens, no matter how sensible a woman is, it will become unreasonable. It's like Elise now. She even began to tentatively hope that William would be able to return home from the New World. If William doesn't, it proves that he does have a leg with Victoria.
This distressed William.
Elise is his wife, and it is naturally his duty to appease Elise. But at the same time, the things of the New World are just too important. In any case, William did not want to give up the interests here, the land, the millions of Gothic immigrants, and the vast cotton plantations.
So he could only say sorry to Elise.
"What the hell is that woman doing? Why is she doing this? Is it trying to make me uncomfortable? Hurting others and not benefiting herself is simply unreasonable!" William couldn't help but complain in his heart. At the same time, he secretly cursed Victoria, the scourge, to marry early. Then hide in the house and teach your husband and children, don't cause trouble to the world.
