The Happy Life of a Duchess

Adele is indeed a bit busy during this time.

She basically didn't take part in the social activities going out, except for sorting out the previous salons and records, there was no other party content.

She has correspondence with Leo and has always maintained this kind of stable contact, but the two of them will not write such private content in the letter. There is no news that Leo is going to be engaged, and she has not told Adele. Having mentioned this aspect, Adele is naturally not clear.

"What's the matter?"

Adele asked Morgana in a low voice.

To be honest, she was indeed curious.

Previously, there were several outstanding men around Leo who pursued her, including Mr. Fitch, and several young talents who were relatively familiar with Mr. Hugo and belonged to noble families.

Before he was busy with newspaper matters, Leo was still struggling with this aspect.

As I said earlier, her age is almost at the time when she is thinking about marriage, and her father is also preparing for her. Besides, she is engaged and married, and her younger siblings will continue to see each other smoothly. Her younger brother Charles and her They are also about the same age. Their father, Mr. Hugo, had already married when they were the same age.

But Leo is a person with ideas, coupled with various reasons, she still has some girlish hesitation about getting married.

If she didn't take the initiative, Adele wouldn't just ask so much, but if she needs help, Adele will definitely help.

"That's the one..." Morgana pulled her like a thief, and waited for the two of them to get into the carriage before continuing to gossip about Leo with her.

"There was a dance before. You didn't go to it. It was held at the contracted club. Leo and Mr. Fitch were at that time..."

"The scene two days ago?" Adele came to her senses.

"Right." Morgana nodded.

"I think they're having an affair."

Morgana made a gesture, indicating that the relationship between the two is very close.

Adele still had a calm smile on her face, but Morgana misunderstood that she didn't believe it, and quickly gave reasons to support it.

"That is to say, I think the relationship between the two people is very close. They danced two dances together, but the two pieces were the two longest pieces at the dance at that time." Since Adele and her father were together, Morgana She felt that she hadn't observed the people around her enough, and she wasn't angry. After all, they were good friends, and she was happy to see what happened. But on the other hand, she thought about how much she should care about Leopoldina.

No, it's obvious at a glance.

"What's the matter, maybe it's a coincidence?"

In fact, Adele knew in her heart that the possibility of this being a coincidence was really very small.

This is a little trick she learned when she first entered the upper class circle of Paris to supplement her knowledge.

It can be seen that this is not a secret—theoretically, there will not be too much time gap between the dance songs, but if it happens to be a song that is more than ten minutes in average, and there are two slower songs If there is a song that is half an hour or even longer, then they will definitely know it, and when choosing the song, everyone knows it in their hearts.

Therefore, if you are a man and a woman who like each other, when you choose to dance together, you will deliberately choose a song with a relatively long length, so that you can get along with each other for a longer time. Generally speaking, only two dances can be performed at a dance party. under the standard.

"Eyes!" Morgana pointed to her eyes seriously.

"I think the way two people look at each other is very subtle!"

Morgana, the "kid" who didn't take part in the prom socially, but ate like a little hamster and secretly observed other people, said in a very determined tone.

In case Adele didn't believe it, she also listed how the two talked to each other happily, how Leo smiled happily, and how he seemed to blush a little, and then said that the atmosphere between the two was really very, very Well, the kind that others can't get in.

"The two of them, basically throughout the whole dance, were there talking."

"Do you want to say that Leo didn't dance with other people?" Adele laughed, a bit teasing.

"No." Morgana corrected, with a very serious look on her face, "It's just that when she comes off the dance floor, she seems to interact with Mr. Fitch, whether it's looking at each other or talking...it's very subtle!"

Morgana tried to prove that she wasn't talking nonsense.

Adele was sure because of this, if Leo really behaved like this, then it was probably because she had really taken a fancy to Mr. Fitch.

Objectively speaking, Mr. Feige is not bad either.

He came from a good background, his family was rich, and he was very capable in doing business steadily. At the same time, it was probably because of the previous newspapers, and he and Leo had more intersections.

If he has no other moral problems, no such messy lovers, and can treat Leo wholeheartedly, then there is really nothing wrong.

There is just one thing that may make people hesitate.

Their family is doing business in North America, and they are related to Mr. Fitch, who was a military officer in Paris. Although they must have been together decades ago, it is not clear at the moment, if Leo married, Will it be followed by the United States?

It is inconvenient to travel and meet each other across the ocean.

Mrs. Castellana's daughter married in Spain, which is far away. It is not convenient for Adele's sister to meet in Frankfurt, let alone go to such a distant place.

And in everyone's opinion, there is no place better than Paris, France.

Why leave when you can stay in Paris?

The only thing that can be compared is the United Kingdom, or other European countries.

Going to the United States, which is so far away and does not know the development situation, sounds very backward and chaotic. Considering Mr. Hugo's love for his eldest daughter, this is really a very difficult thing.

If it must be said, this is probably the biggest obstacle preventing two people from being together.

It was only after Adele got engaged that she realized more and more clearly that even though the transportation at this time is much more convenient than in the past, communication and transportation are still not as developed as modern ones. on time.

Coupled with the limited medical level, accidents may suddenly happen to a very young person, as happened to Adele's older brothers and sisters.

After Mr. Hugo lost his child, he finally had his precious daughter Leopoldina.

He has always been proud of his eldest daughter and has high hopes for her. This love even surpasses his care and love for other children. For Hugo and his wife, the eldest daughter has a very different meaning.

They have high hopes for her, and Leo is also very affectionate to her family. She is very kind to her younger siblings, and she loves and respects her parents. She is worthy of her identity and surname.

Under such circumstances, marrying far away seems to be a difficult choice for Leo.

"Let's talk, maybe next time we can ask her."

Adele also quickly thought about it, and ended the topic with Morgana with a smile.

Morgana's addiction to gossip was over, and she felt much more at ease after talking about it.

It's hard to talk to others, but she is very relieved to tell Adele, and Leo won't mind if she wants to come.

Besides, gossip belongs to gossip, and the two of them also care about her, and Morgana also muttered for a long time about whether they are a good match or not.

"Yeah, got it." Morgana understood what she meant, "Maybe sometime, there will be good news about her."

"At that time, we will all go to her engagement banquet. I just hope that we can play together all the time, even after we get married."

"You want to get married too?" Adele smiled, "Do you have a husband you like?"

"No." Morgana was a little shy, but still shook her head very sincerely.

In Adele's impression, Armand's younger sister was already engaged when Armand was with Marguerite the La Traviata, and it is said that she had a very good relationship with her fiancé, a lovely and loving girl immersed in love. Innocent miss.

But I don't know if it's because the plot has already been disrupted. Adele has never heard of Morgana's fiancé.

Not to mention that there is no place in her hometown in City C, and there is no gentleman who makes her particularly excited in Paris.

It is unavoidable to feel shy and shy towards men, but this is due to her personality, and she does not have many men in contact with her. At first glance, she feels a little embarrassed when facing the opposite sex, but this is for many naive ladies in the boudoir. Nothing to be surprised about.

Everyone is like this. At the beginning, you will blush when you meet a man, but later you become proficient. It is a different situation where you can change many lovers.

Morgana is probably still young, and she doesn't seem to be very enlightened in this regard.

Although he said that he longed for love, but he looked ignorant and didn't act, it didn't seem that urgent.

Besides, Mr. Duval is about to get married, and the entire Duval family will be different because of the arrival of the Duchess Adele.

At that time, most likely, Morgana's "weight" will be heavier, and she can choose a better man with a higher status as her husband.

"Get off."

Mr. Duvall's voice came from outside.

Morgana went out first, still looking so happy, innocent and happy.

Adele came out after her and laughed all of a sudden.

"Are you coming to work as a coolie again?"

Adele put her hand on his arm with a smile, and got out of the car smoothly by stepping on the steps with his support.

"It's my pleasure."

Mr. Duval answered with seriousness.

Morgana blinked and stood aside, forced by her father's usual oppression and majesty, even though she was still very lively and cute in private and not as shy as she seemed, but when her elders were present, her words were still ambiguous. Many.

She just looked at it like this, and she had a lot of content to tease with Adele in her heart, and she just planned to hold her arm for a while, and the two of them chatted happily.

Then, she was shocked to find that a certain elder just started talking to her friend.

Naturally, the hand on his arm did not let go.

Adele held Mr. Duval's arm, and the two walked side by side.

Only then did Morgana realize——

Wait, am I the one left behind?

The author has something to say:

Morgana:? ? ?

Duvall: XD
