Chapter 33: Accidents?
Adjani was still thinking about how to get close to Archduke Franz Karl.
Adjani had tried to create a "chance encounter", but Archduke Franz Karl was one of the very few men who could not squint at her.
There are usually only two kinds of people who can do it, one is a careerist with great ambitions, and the other is an idiot with a crystal clear mind!
Usually simple-minded people are more likely to be driven by instinct and are more likely to be attracted to beautiful women.
Today, Adjani and Archduke Franz Karl "met" again.
Although Adjani's instinct told her that the Archduke Franz Karl in front of her belonged to the latter, after hearing those rumors, she also had to consider that the other party might be a bottomless careerist.
The wife of Archduke Franz Karl seems to be there, and the rumors about Madame Sophie can be summed up in the phrase "the only man in the Habsburgs".
Adjani doesn't know if those rumors are true or not, but she feels that this kind of woman who is too controlling is usually not happy, and the happiness they create is like Rupert's tears, which seems to be invulnerable, but if you grasp the weakness, it will be shattered, and this is what she is best at...
Adjani looked at Grand Duke Franz Karl, who was still drinking and enjoying himself, while the little kid next to him seemed to be staring at her, and there seemed to be something strange in his eyes, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
But Adjani did a good job of hiding her unhappiness, and only smiled faintly back.
At this time, Mrs. Sophie sighed, closed the fan with a "snap", and shone it again on Franz's head.
"That's not going to work, Franz. How can a boy lack courage? Take a good look. ”
After saying that, Mrs. Sophie stood up and walked towards Adjani, who only felt that the temperature around her had plummeted, the light seemed to have dimmed, and the noise in the whole venue was much quieter.
The woman in front of her was dressed in a rich dress, her face was delicate and majestic, her neck was slender, her collarbones were distinct, and she looked elegant and agile, and her beautiful brown hair climbed into the most popular curls in South Germany, which had both the softness of a young woman and a pride that made people dare not look at it directly.
Adjani immediately thought of who the person in front of her was, she lifted the corner of her skirt and bowed respectfully.
"Good evening, Madame Sophie, it's my pleasure to meet you."
Madame Sophie stretched out her slender arm and said.
"Hello, pretty young lady, can I dance with you?"
Madame Sophie's words were so clear to Adjani that it seemed that the whole room had fallen silent.
In fact, the moment Mrs. Sophie stood up and walked towards Adjani, many people in the venue noticed.
Adjani was unaware of her notoriety as a "widowmaker" in the noblewomen's circle.
At the ball, all the ladies stared at Adjani, afraid that she would be close to her husband or son.
On more than one occasion, a noblewoman wanted to rush to Adjani to teach the witch a lesson.
However, for various reasons, this never happened.
But this time Adjani miscalculated, and just as she was thinking about how to better attract the attention of Archduke Franzcar, Madame Sophie actually took the initiative.
With a strong curiosity and a desire to see the excitement, the ladies abandoned their dance partners and focused their eyes on the two.
And Adjani's supporters wanted to stop Adjani, but they were shocked by Mrs. Sophie's powerful momentum, and several hairy boys wanted to step forward to stop but were stopped by Mrs. Sophie's attendants.
Even Prince Metternich and Count Korolav found it very tricky, and they were not afraid of anyone, but this matter involved the royal family, and once it was clear that it did not end well, they could only pray for Adjani.
The men stopped talking, and even the musicians stopped playing.
Adjani was a little stunned, she was invited by the same sex on a formal occasion, it was the first time for her, and at the same time, she was shocked by Mrs. Sophie's aura and beauty, and her brain was a little short circuit for a while.
"Stretch out your hand." Mrs. Sophie's tone was unmistakable.
Adjani handed her hand to Lady Sophie.
Mrs. Sophie turned her head to look at Franz and blinked.
Franz was a little helpless, is this a mother who taught herself how to pick up girls?
Talia looked very excited as she watched as Lady Sophie and Adjani held hands together.
Archduke Franz Karl is still studying the proportion of wine.
Adjani was obviously mistaken, she thought that Madame Sophie had just looked at Archduke Franz Carr, and that she was dancing with her in order to give herself a disgrace and keep Adjani away from her husband.
is also a woman, which has aroused Adjani's fighting spirit.
"Yes, Mrs. Sophie."
Adjani's voice was neither humble nor arrogant, which Madame Sophie admired very much, and even men rarely avoided her in front of her momentum.
The two walked to the center of the dance floor, and the crowd naturally gave way to the two beauties.
"Music." Mrs. Sophie said, and although it was not loud, the musicians immediately got into action.
Chopin's serenade, beautiful and elegant, and the two in the middle of the dance floor, elegant and graceful.
Adjani looked directly into Mrs. Sophie's eyes, and Mrs. Sophie looked directly into Adjani's eyes.
Adjani's eyes were full of stubbornness, but Mrs. Sophie's eyes were full of greed.
This made Adjani feel a little strange, and at the moment when Adjani lost her mind, Madame Sophie made a quick spinning motion.
Mrs. Sophie looked at her son, and Franz was covering his face, but their eyes met between Franz's fingers.
Mrs. Sophie smiled and commented, "False serious." ”
Suddenly, Adjani felt a little more force in her waist, and she was hugged even tighter by Madame Sophie, and their chests were almost pressed together.
Adjani wants to get out of the clutches, but because of the identity of the other party, it can't help and can only be at the mercy of others.
Mrs. Sophie's burning gaze struck again, and the sense of oppression that Mrs. Sophie brought to Adjani made her a little breathless, and she also lost the courage to continue to look at Mrs. Sophie.
So, Adjani was like a shy little girl with her head bowed and dancing to Madame Sophie's steps.
Mrs. Sophie smiled at Franz with great satisfaction.
And everyone thought that Mrs. Sophie was showing off her victory to Archduke Franz Karl.
Mrs. Sophie danced very well, and Adjani was very cooperative, but Adjani felt that Mrs. Sophie's hands were not very honest and her movements were a little too man-like, but she enjoyed the feeling.
Before she knew it, Adjani stumbled a little, and Madame Sophie reached out in time to pull her up.
Franz Karl's chamberlain tapped him twice with his elbow, signaling that Mrs. Sophie was looking this way.
Franz Carr looked up at Mrs. Sophie and subconsciously felt that he had to do something.
But he didn't know what to do with the alcohol, so he had to applaud.
The people around saw that the Grand Duke was applauding, and they also applauded.
Adjani had never encountered such a thing, she was a little confused, she obviously wanted to get close to Archduke Franz Karl, but now she was actually targeted by Madame Sophie, what should she do with this mission.
However, something even more unexpected happened, and Mrs. Sophie pulled Franz over.
"Miss Adjani, I want you to be my son's chamberlain."
