Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Eve of Odory's Wedding

Soldiers in black armor stood on the tall, thick walls, and they could see the open plain and a mountain range that looked like the backbone of a demon dragon in the distance.

This mountain range is the Tayugetong Mountains, which means "broken ridge" in Latin. The mountain range, which is taller than the Minki-Onute Mountains, sloping across the northwestern border of the Franco-Austrian Union, does not know where it spreads.

Soldiers on patrol can see the tallest building in the distance, which is the residence of the lord of Eurotas, also known as the Palazzo Milano. The overall color of the Palazzo Milano is a yellowish white, like the color of the afternoon sun shining on the white walls. On top of the towering vertical wall support is a quadrangular pyramidal top. In the upper part of the Palazzo Milan, some of the intricate ornaments are covered with gold and various precious metals, while in the lower part it is typical of the Baroque style (a style that was once loved by people in the middle of the Franco-Austrian League, this style pursues intricacies, opulence and beauty), and is decorated with sculptures from top to bottom, extremely exquisite and ornate.

At the top of the Palazzo Milan there is a solar clock, and when the sun enters the palace from the roof at noon every day, it falls right on the metal bar, which can be accurately displayed as the sun turns.

The front of the Palazzo Milan has 12 large ashlar columns and 5 large bronze doors weighing 50 tons. The square stone pillars are carved with hundreds of large reliefs and thousands of figures. There are more than 5,000 white stone statues and more than 6,000 other statues throughout the palace, each of which is different and vividly depicted.

Up close, this famous palace looks stunning and magnificent, but from a distance, you can see the simplicity and elegance of Palazzo Milano.

Today, the Palazzo Milan is decorated with a large number of flowers, various precious silk ornaments, a large number of white gemstones, etc., which makes the Milan Palace seem a little joyful. For tomorrow there will be the wedding of a young lady of high standing, Lady Eudoria Severos, the youngest daughter of the lord of the city of Eurotas, the beloved daughter of Bedus Severos. The Palazzo di Milano is where the lord of Bydos deals with the affairs of the city of Eurotas, and he nominally leads the five armies and various forces of the city, but in fact his power is also amazing.

In his old age, the old Bardoth Severos impregnated the woman he loved and gave birth to a child, which is now the glamorous and charming Eudoria. The Severos family is a powerful ducal family in the Franco-Austrian Alliance, they have a lot of resources and great strength, their power and status are only one level lower than the Twelve Princes' families, and one point stronger than the average duke family.

Doria Severos's fiancé is Lieutenant General Romanus Diorgenis, the famous genius of the Franco-Austrian Alliance.

Night falls. In a large, lavish palace, the sound of a symphony full of passion reverberates through the palace. The palace was visited by the children of powerful nobles, dressed in luxurious and elaborate clothes. A woman in an elegant, delicate rose-colored dress with a glass of bright red wine in her hand was talking to the man opposite. The woman's long blonde hair was tied up with an intricate technique and adorned with small gemstones. The woman's shoulder blades and collarbone were exposed, which looked crystal clear in the cold white light of the palace, and some of the full whiteness under the collarbone was partially exposed, which made the handsome man opposite glance down from time to time. The woman has a pair of slender eyebrows, a pair of eyes that are a little longer than peach blossom eyes seem to ripple with autumn water, and the emerald pupils make her eyes even more charming. The right height of the roots and the bridge of the nose make her look coordinated and comfortable from the side, and the red lips release a certain provocative lust just right. This beautiful young lady was Eudoria Severos, and below her tall, charming, round and plump figure was a pair of slender and delicate legs full of lines. Odoria wore a pair of pale gold heels on her feet, with slender uppers, which made her only a little shorter than the man opposite, and gave her proportions an unattainable desire to conquer.

The handsome man's name was Acton Northumbbrandy. Acton had a handsome cheek with a strong sense of line, and he was wearing a blue-black gown, which made his back and waist form an inverted triangle that was not very important. The important thing is that this Acton Northumbranley is a famous playboy brother, and in the circle of aristocratic women, this man of the Northumbranley family has something that makes noble women blush and be excited.

"Beautiful Miss Odoria Severos, I don't know if you love the lonely moon in the night sky, which, alone at night, emits a silvery cold light, and falls on the heart of the woman who waits in the garden, whose heart is dry and cold. The wet rain fell on their cheeks, and they smiled vaguely sadly, perhaps unbeknownst to them, that the next hour would be covered in rain from the sky. The eyes under the waves looked at the distorted silver moon in the sky, poked some fingers out of the water, and floated their cheeks out of the water to gasp. Perhaps in the days to come, they will miss that rain and dew, instead of being covered by some mud and sludge, and the youthful beauty on their faces is picked up by the ruthlessness of the years. This is a poem I have written for you, Miss Odoria, what do you think? Acton Northumbbrandy smiled, his eyes fixed on the beautiful woman, and he held his glass to Odoria.

A reserved smile appeared on Odoria's face, and then a slight flash in her eyes as she said, "Men fight to the death on the battlefield, and they shed blood and sweat for that toiling military merit and title, isn't this a pursuit of excitement?" And this kind of stimulation may not be common in the lives of us women. ”

"No, Miss Odoria. Passion may have more of a place in a person's heart than the thrill of pursuing excitement, and the pursuit of beauty in human beings is far beyond the thrill of men's life-and-death struggle on the battlefield. Whether it is the powerful soldiers or the esteemed ladies like you, they all have the same passion for the pursuit of beauty. Acton Northumbbrandy looked at Odoria's ruddy ears, swallowed his throat, and said.

Odolia's fair, delicate right hand touched the glass, and his index finger slightly extended to Acton's finger.

The two chatted a few more words, and then left each other with their own intentions. Afterwards, they began to laugh and talk with their familiar friends at the party, and they congratulated the beautiful young lady on her imminent marriage to the handsome man.

The women and men in this palace were dressed in all sorts of ways, and if a commoner boy were to come here, he would be dazzled in a short time. For the aristocracy, these things were just sparse and ordinary, and in their luxurious lives, the exuberant beauty and variety of clothing seemed somewhat tasteless. How fascinating is the novelty and excitement of aristocratic men who grasp the emotions of those more glamorous and moving women in some circumstances, and then face these emotions and circumstances and make their choices. For example, the flirtation between Eudoria Severos and a handsome playboy on the eve of his wedding may have only briefly intersected in some moments in the past, and this intersection was only to satisfy some lust, and in such moments, the two of them had a strong sense of excitement and extreme joy with a sense of guilt.

As time passed, Miss Odoria's aristocratic party ended with the dancing of the men and women, a kind of tacit pre-wedding party for the nobles, which meant saying goodbye to many things of the past and entering a new marriage hall.

In a luxurious room filled with a sense of intoxication, the red-faced Miss Odoria Severos drank a great deal of wine, and opposite her was the same Acton Northumbranley.

In this ball, Acton Northumbranley looks like a middle-aged man who has been immersed in dance for many years, but his face and coordinated body posture clearly show that he is a passionate and energetic young man. Acton took the initiative to take on the role of choreographer, and he showed his strength and skills on stage. His dance gradually changed from a slow and soft beginning, and as the symphony became more intense, he also became more intense, and his movements suddenly stopped with the high-spirited, bright sound of Paganini's music. Then, a long chant sounded, and the two embraced each other.

Next, the two took a carriage to the opera house. The opera house at night was bought and chartered by the two of them at a huge cost. They love the feeling of being an actor on stage, where they can show off their movements to their heart's content, and they say lines that are very moving. At the moment of the transition of the plot, they will sing some joyful songs, and the tunes of the two are bright and sharp, and the other is low and strong, and they cooperate quite well with each other.

Two hours passed. The two of them were already exhausted, and satisfaction appeared in their somewhat moist eyes and faces, and a large amount of sweat from the vigorous dancing and singing movements on them, and a flush of blood flowing faster on Odoria's fair skin.

Acton leaned on Odoria's back, and after a long time of dancing and playing, their hearts were a little lonely because of the loss of emotion, although for Acton they were still full of energy, for Miss Odoria they were a little unsupportable.

The two of them went to sleep......
