Chapter 261: The Catcher and the Narcissist

..big dragon is dead

The carriage stopped, and the servant helped an aristocratic lady in a gorgeous dress to step down. She was wearing a lady's bird hat that many ladies like to wear, and a colorful bird feather stood up high, which was very eye-catching.

The top hat that used to be a standard accessory for Mrs. Sky Knight has now become the favorite of ordinary nobles.

However, Liszt did not know this noble lady.

"Liszt, why are you hiding here? I've been looking for you for a long time." Cousin Mayopal's voice came from behind, "What are you standing by the window looking at?"

He went straight to Liszt and looked outside, just enough to see the carriage in front of the gate of Long Taro Castle: "Well, you shouldn't be asking in advance, which beautiful lady is worth taking a shot, um, from here Viewed in perspective, indeed, the 'height' is very specific."

The height he mentioned is the height when viewed from the side as a ridge and as a peak.

"No, I just feel that the hall is too stuffy."

"I understand."

"What do you unserstand?"

May Opal touched the glass of red wine in his hand with Liszt's champagne glass: "You are looking forward to that beautiful salmon master Athena."

"No." He answered without thinking, and then asked suddenly, "Is she coming this time too?"

"Didn't you say you didn't look forward to it, Liszt, you rejected Athena back then, why are you concerned about Athena now?"

Liszt did not hesitate, and said directly: "Perhaps it is very memorable. I am on Coral Island, and I rarely attend this kind of ball, and no female nobleman of the same age invited me to her home as a guest. On Red Crab Island At the prom, Athena was the first to see how good I was."

"No wonder."

It was as if a nerve had been touched.

May Opal didn't know what came to her mind, so she didn't continue to tease, but said with a little melancholy: "A man should find a woman who understands himself... If you don't understand yourself, what kind of chaos will your life be like in the future? can not imagine."

Liszt tentatively asked, "Are you talking about Princess Angela?"

"Yes, Angela Sapphire, brightest pearl in the Grand Duke's laurel crown,

If nothing else, she will be the future hostess of Red Crab Island. "

Grand Duke Andrew has two sons and two daughters, Angela is the youngest daughter.

"Are you sure about your relationship with her?"

"It's not me and her, it's the grandfather and the Grand Duke who confirmed our relationship." He drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, threw the glass back into the plate carried by the servant, and yelled, "Go down."

The servant hurriedly bowed and left.

May Opal propped his hands on the window sill: "Do you know why I have been chasing so hard and didn't get any response, but now I can clarify the relationship?"

Liszt looked at him, waiting for the next step.

"Grimandan Truth, I naively thought that he really came with the Grand Duke's blessing, but it turned out..." He suddenly turned around and patted Liszt on the shoulder, "Grandfather said that your future is limitless , we shed the same blood, I have nothing to hide from you."

"Please tell me, cousin." Liszt roughly guessed.

Sure enough, what May Opal said was almost the same as his guess—he became a catcher.

Of course, Princess Angela will definitely not bring the child here, even if she is the most beloved daughter of the Grand Duke, she cannot bring the child to marry a Marquis heir. This not only violates the morality under the knight system, but also a great humiliation to the marquis family.

Therefore, Princess Angela, who was several months pregnant, was forced to have an abortion.

"Her reputation is very bad. I have known for a long time that as long as there is no big scandal, the past will let it go. But what is unforgivable is that the child who was knocked out in the stomach, his... His... father, turned out to be just a juggler!"

Since the wind rating is poor, it won't be surprising who the child's father is.

It's just that as an aristocrat and a natural ruling class, Liszt can understand Mayopal's feelings very well. Nobles can mess with nobles, but they must never mess with commoners, especially noble nobles like the daughter of a duke. As a juggler, his status was equal to that of a serf, so it was no wonder that Mayopal was furious.

After shaking the champagne, Liszt took a careful look at Mayopal, and suddenly thought again.

Maybe May Opal was not angry because the princess was messing around with the juggler, but because the news was leaked out. He could clearly inform the Changyu family that the princess and the juggler were killed, which means that this matter is in the blue. Long Island is no longer a secret.

"Perhaps in May Opal's eyes, the Taro Fort at this moment has turned green and lush."

Resist the urge to gloat.

He thought about it.

Decided to comfort May Opal: "Life is not always smooth sailing. Although Princess Angela does not meet the moral standards of a noble hostess, she is at least the hostess that Long Taro Castle needs most. Compared with the harmonious life after marriage , What are those things before marriage?"

Speaking of this, Liszt suddenly thought of his previous views on love.

When I was a teenager, I looked forward to leaving the first time to my girl. When I was young, I thought it didn’t matter if I was there for the first time. When I was young, I thought the past was not important. The young and middle-aged people thought that the important thing was to love each other. When it comes to dating, I always think about finding someone to make do with.

The struggle between people and life has always been that if you take a step back, life will move forward.

Or maybe just whining.

May Opal quickly got rid of the panxia's anger, anyway, he was already ready to take over the panxia: "Let's go, go to the hall to chat, all the young nobles from Red Crab Island are here today, maybe you can Find what suits you."

Then, he remembered: "Just talking about my own affairs, I forgot to tell you, don't expect Athena, she will not participate in this ball. At the ballroom ball at the Sea Festival, she fell into a relationship with a baron. Love, will be a baroness next year or so."

"yes."

Liszt responded flatly, as if he didn't care.

In fact, my heart suddenly tightened, and I felt an indescribable discomfort. I tried to suppress and laugh at Mayopal's schadenfreude before, and it burst like a balloon.

It is ridiculous that May Opal was forced to take over, but his narcissism all the time is not ridiculous.

"I took it for granted. Among nobles... there is no such thing as love at first sight, not to mention that it is just a hasty dance. Maybe she will forget me after the dance."

suddenly.

Down-hearted.

The original ballroom dance, as well as the anticipation of Athena, can arouse the passion a little. But now, when one thinks of the so-called social ball, it is nothing but a combination of interests among nobles. Each displays its capital, and then each chooses high-quality objects to continue the family's reproduction.

He calmed down his agitated heart again, and put on a noble smile on his face.
