Of course, the most talked about is today's ceremony.

"Hey, this Marceau's family is really lucky. Once they get married, their status will be completely secure."

"Of course, their family had the most ceremonies in the past, and it was the credit for rescuing His Majesty the Emperor. In fact, their strength is not strong, and they are not worthy of the status of a duke at all, but this time."

"Actually, I think it's quite a match. General Eugene is young, promising, and handsome. General Sophie is also a famous beauty, known as General Rose. Regardless of their age, appearance, status and strength, they are very well matched. Why is it so sour?"

"That should be optimistic by everyone. In my opinion, the Marceau family will bet. The previous bet was on His Majesty the Emperor, but this time it was just betting on General Eugene. Think about it, the Emperor Although His Majesty is in his prime, he has never had any heirs. After a hundred years, the Marceau family will skyrocket."

"But I heard that it was General Eugene who took the initiative to pursue General Sophie. It seems that he has been pursuing since the war."

"Hehe, if you don't like it, you would have rejected it a long time ago, and you have been hanging on it all the time. Now that the situation is stable, you can agree to others. Isn't it a matter of course."

"It's a pity that my daughter doesn't have such beauty, otherwise."

"It's not just a matter of beauty, strength is also very important. General Sophie is not an embroidered pillow. Not only did he break through to the Grand Master level not long ago, but his swordsmanship is even more earth-shattering. Not everyone can match it. .”

"Hey, I heard a big gossip!"

"What gossip, tell me quickly! Don't make fools of yourself!"

"Hey, I heard that General Eugene is not the only suitor of General Sophie. Apart from those miscellaneous people who can't make it to the stage, there is also a heavyweight!"

"Oh, who is it?"

"Hey, that is the acting captain of the musketeers newly formed by His Majesty the Emperor, D'Artagnan!"

"It's him?"

"Yes, although he is a remnant of the previous dynasty, his ability should not be underestimated. It is said that he has already broken through to the rank of venerable, and he is one step away from the sharp spear and martial saint!"

"Yes, I have heard about this. It is said that during the previous court, d'Artagnan had some relations with General Sophie. It is said that he was jealous and had several duels."

"It's not easy for the Marceau family. The future crown prince and the future sharpshooter are all played by him upside down."

"Where is the Martial Saint level so easy to break through, or the crown prince is real, and the chances are also high. If it were me, I would also choose the crown prince."

"But, but I seem to have heard that General Sophie seemed to have a fiancé in the past. This is what happened."

"I know this. That fiancé was decided by her when she was in a small town in the country. Unfortunately, that boy was not blessed. On the night the revolutionaries escaped from Paris, he was killed by the Holy See's masters. Otherwise, today's The engagement ceremony can't be done either."

"Oh, that's it. Since General Sophie chose General Eugene, Captain D'Artagnan didn't object?"

"Against? Then you need someone to be there. I heard from my brother-in-law in the secretariat that a few days ago, His Majesty the Emperor sent him out. It seems to be to suppress some bandits. Anyway, he won't be back in a short time. .When I come back, the uncooked rice has already been cooked, no matter what.”

"Oh, what a pity, you nobles really know how to play."

After a long day of busy work, a glamorous and beautiful girl appeared in the full-length floor-to-ceiling mirror.

The door of the room was slowly opened, and the girl walked out slowly, appearing in front of the long-awaited knight in costume.

"What, does it look good?" The girl smiled, holding up her skirt and twirling around.

The girl's smile melted the knight's heart, destroyed his sanity, and made him giggle all the time: "It's beautiful, it's beautiful, it's so beautiful."

"Then let's go, the guests should be waiting." The girl put her hand in the knight's.

But as soon as he took a few steps, a strong man in black armor ran over. Everyone knew that he was the girl's coachman and her loyal servant, so they stepped out of the way.
