Colin enters the Duke's Palace with the attendants led.

Once you get acquainted, the meeting is no longer so formal.

He met Fairmont Hawthorn in the large meadow behind the Duke's mansion.

The latter was holding a wooden pole at this time, and after careful observation, he swung it into the small white ball that was lying on the ground at his feet.

He was followed by six or seven attendants, some driving a small one-horse carriage, some holding towels and drinks, and others standing with their hands simply down.

Colin walked up to the duke, and after the latter motioned for a moment, he watched with interest.

This sport, called "par ball", is very similar to golf in the previous life.

Again, the ball is hit into a fixed hole.

It's just that the variety and sophistication of the clubs are still far behind.

Duke Violet hit a ball, and instead of immediately following, he turned to Colin and said:

"Playing with two hands?"

"I'm sorry, Uncle Fairmont, I've never played 'pole ball.'" Colin waved his hand and declined.

"Then it is even more necessary to learn, outdoor communication between nobles, many times will choose this kind of sport."

"If you have the chance, you must learn it." Collins said I didn't plan to blend into the aristocracy, not to mention what was so difficult about this thing, believe it or not, I could send a ball into the hole with a single stroke with a wind magic "mage's hand".

Fairmont didn't force him, and said, "Today there is fresh flounder, caught from the East China Sea, and I will taste it later." ”

"Yes."

After Colin agreed, he immediately said what he meant: "Uncle Fairmont, I'm actually here to beg you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's all about...... Miss Dinah's. Colin thought of what had happened before, and he was a little twisted.

Fairmont paused, glanced at him, and then said with a smile:

"It's a good thing that young people are energetic, don't be embarrassed, if I go back twenty years, where will Dinah get your turn."

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Colin to answer, and immediately turned his head to the middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper on the side and said:

"Go tell Dinah to pack her things and get her contract ready."

Without waiting for the butler to leave, Colin hurriedly interrupted:

"That...... Uncle Fairmont, I don't mean to ask you for Miss Dinah, but I want to borrow her for a short time. ”

As soon as Colin finished speaking, he realized that there seemed to be ambiguity in his words.

Sure enough, Duke Violet's always calm face showed a slightly shocked look, and he looked Colin Vane up and down for a long time with an impressive look, and finally said with emotion:

"When I was young, I considered myself to be ridiculous, but compared to you, I was a gentleman......

"What do you think, you kid, you want people, and you don't want to raise her?

"What, doesn't Tessa give you money to spend?"

The barrage of questions almost overwhelmed Colin, who knew very well that the Duke had misunderstood that he wanted to prostitute himself for nothing—literally.

"You're mistaken."

He hurriedly explained, "Actually, I just wanted to ask Miss Dinah to help me do a job together. ”

Thinking that Dinah was a member of the Duke's Palace after all, and that she had to take out her photo as publicity, she would always make it clear to the Duke, so she continued:

"Also, do you remember the last time we talked about Sir Schiller Mora?"

"Of course, what's wrong?"

"I tried to reconstruct the ...... of the 'photograph' he mentioned in his letters."

Colin recounted the matter in general terms, and finally said, "Therefore, I hope to ask for your permission to ask Miss Dinah for your help." ”

After hearing this, Duke Violet was quite interested.

After inquiring in detail about the functions of the photograph, he said that he would definitely go and see it if he had time.

Colin, of course, said yes.

However, when it comes to borrowing, Fairmont Hawthorn scoffs:

"Your idea is good, but it's not realistic."

"Huh?" Colin was puzzled.

"Everyone knows that Dinah is from my house, and she will follow you out of this gate today, and she will be sent back in a few days, and soon there will be filthy gossip in Thunder City. It was common for the aristocratic circles to give each other dancing girls, but there was never a precedent for returning them. ”

"This ......"

"Either take someone away, or find someone else, you think for yourself."

……

……

Two hours later.

Dinah, dressed in white clothes, boarded the carriage after meeting Colin in the company of a maid.

Behind her, several big men carried more than a dozen large wooden boxes, laboriously loading the truck.

Colin looked at the long motorcade and couldn't help but be speechless.

Sure enough, the dancing girls in the Duke's Mansion are extraordinary, not only have maids, but also have more belongings than themselves.

But when I think about her profession, I guess those boxes are filled with all kinds of dance clothes, which is exactly what Colin wants—there is no need to prepare her costumes for filming.

……

Several carriages drove out of the ducal palace.

Colin Wayne sat in the first car, looking at the contract in his hand word by word,

The content is not complicated, it is nothing more than the transfer of Dinah's contractual relationship from Duke Violet to him.

Although the Kingdom decree abolishing slaves had been in place for many years, it had to be said that it had little effect.

The aristocrats everywhere simply changed the name of the slave's "deed of sale" to a "contract for life".

Everything else is business as usual.

Whether it's cutting titles, reclaiming fiefdoms, or abolition of slavery, in Colin's eyes, it is something that only online travelers can do, and although all this is more or less driven by external pressure, it is undeniable that Alan IV can be called a generation of heroes.

It is a pity that reform is not an overnight thing, let alone a complete solution by a decree.

In the case of abolition, even if the serfs were really completely freed, when the aristocratic class still controlled all the means of production and the serfs did not even have their pants on their bodies, they still had to choose between starving to death or returning to their masters.

……

When the carriage stopped in the backyard of the Youjin Chamber of Commerce, Finia and the others had already received the news and were waiting there.

Colin got out of the car and looked at a carriage behind him.

Except for his own, the rest of the carriages belonged to the Duke's Palace, and he had to let them go back after sending them off.

Dinah stepped out of the carriage with the help of the maid.

The unfamiliar environment made her a little nervous, especially when she saw many unfamiliar faces.

She unconsciously approached Colin and continued to use the title of "Your Excellency...... ...... here? ”

Colin had only spoken to the Duke about it, but he hadn't had time to mention it to Dinah herself.

Poor this girl was in the Duke's palace one moment ago, but the next moment she was inexplicably sent to a completely strange place.

However, before Colin could explain to her, Phinea who stepped forward had already exclaimed slightly:

"Miss Dinah?!"

Colin was stunned: "You know each other?" ”
