At the ball, the Crown Prince danced with Eunice and people talked about it. As we all know, the Crown Prince is not favored, and if it were not for Duke Aden Stan, he would have been deposed long ago.
The four great dukes of the empire are: Lawrence Stein, Duke of the East, Aden Stein, Duke of the South, Reeve Hoffman, Duke of the West, and Vincent Klein, Duke of the North.
Lawrence is the king's younger brother and supports the second prince; Aden is the king's uncle and supports the crown prince; Reeve and Vincent do not support anyone. After all, the king is alive and well, so it is not the prince's turn to act arrogantly.
In addition to the power of the nobility, the church also has a very large influence. There were rumors that the crown prince supported Protestantism, which was an important reason why he was rejected by the king.
Zhen Zhen got up from the ground when she was almost rested. From now on, she would play the role of Vivian. Victor is so cruel, if she hadn't appeared in time, Vivian would be dead now.
In the original plot, Victor was taken back to the Duke's Palace. Since they hadn't seen each other for many years, his father was stern with him, his stepmother was polite and distant to him, and his servants were strict with him.
He thought this was normal, but they turned around and cared so much about their stupid sister that they wanted to bring the whole world to her, just to get her to smile brightly.
So he vowed to kill his sister, and as long as she died, he would get everything.
Victor was guarding the Richter family's villa. No matter what, he had to confirm whether the other party had seen him?
In the blink of an eye, ten o'clock passed and the dance ended, and Eunice Richter finally came back. Unexpectedly, the person who escorted her back was none other than the Crown Prince of the Empire!
Victor was sure that this woman saw the murder process, otherwise the little count's daughter would not be able to take the initiative to pester the crown prince.
Eunice deliberately asked the crown prince to send her back. The faster the rumors spread, the safer she would be. The royal capital is not the territory of the Klein family. It is not easy for Victor to kill people and silence them!
The crown prince left his trusted knight behind to protect Eunice, and agreed to come tomorrow to take her into the palace to learn etiquette.
Victor couldn't find a chance to take action, so he had to return to the Winter Palace. He happened to see the family knight coming back, so he casually asked: "Is sister back?"
"Miss Vivian stayed in the palace to accompany Princess Elena. As expected, the lady is the kindest, and even the princess likes her!" The knight commander also watched Vivian grow up, so he loved her very much.
"Princess Elena?" Victor's face darkened.
There are two princesses in the empire. The eldest princess Gretel is married to the son of Duke Lawrence. Although she and her husband are cousins, it is common for nobles to marry close relatives in order to keep their bloodline pure.
The second princess, Elena, is sixteen years old this year. The queen wanted to marry her into the Hoffmann family, but she was rejected. As for the Klein family, she had never considered it. First, they were far away, and second, they were poor.
Among the four great dukes, the Klein family in the north is the poorest!
After picking and choosing, I finally chose the family of the Marquess of Royston. Firstly, they have a close relationship with the church, and secondly, they have huge wealth, which is very helpful to the second prince.
Look, the whole world is doing this to favor boys over girls.
It is said that Vivian climbed out of the rose garden and happened to meet Princess Elena who was walking. She was so frightened that she screamed loudly and called the nearby knights over.
But after seeing her cheek clearly, he immediately ordered the knight to leave. The embarrassment of the noble lady must not be seen by outsiders, as this will damage her dignity and reputation.
Vivian took the opportunity to request a night's rest in the palace. Elena agreed and asked the maid to take her to her palace.
Princess Elena's palace is very luxurious. A huge chandelier hangs from the arched dome. The chandelier is inlaid with sparkling white crystals. There is a huge stained glass window on the right side of the hall.
Vivian was lying on the large bed, and the maid used the princess's token to ask for the royal doctor. What was horrifying was that after the consultation, the old imperial doctor with a white beard did not hesitate to say that he wanted to bleed and induce vomiting.
She had already had a lot of blood drained, and she might not be able to survive tomorrow if she drained it again, so she firmly opposed the imperial doctor's treatment plan.
"Since the young lady is not willing to let blood, then prepare an enema." The doctor said to the maids.
Vivian was so frightened that goosebumps fell all over the floor. She heard that the treatment methods in Europe at this time were very strange, but she didn't expect them to be so strange!
If you don't agree, you'll open your head, if you don't say anything, you'll bleed, if you don't say a word, you'll induce vomiting, if there's no one around, you'll give him an enema...
In order to survive, she had to rely on herself!
"Physician, thank you very much for treating me. I feel much better. Please come back." Vivian said with a smile.
"Miss Vivian, the human body is composed of four kinds of liquids: blood produced by the heart, mucus produced by the brain, yellow bile produced by the liver, and green bile produced by the stomach. Your discomfort means that the fluids are out of balance. Just release it.”
According to the doctor, a complete set of bloodletting, vomiting, and enemas is required for illness, and red-hot iron is used for injuries.
Just when she was trying her best to persuade the imperial doctor to give up the treatment, she suddenly saw that the other person's head was covered with lice and his whole body felt bad.
I almost forgot, people here don’t like to take baths!
After I persuaded the imperial doctor to leave, the air around me still seemed to be filled with a pungent smell. At that time, the smell of sweat was mixed with the strong smell of perfume, which was so spicy that I almost shed tears!
"I didn't expect that the princess was afraid of treatment?" After the royal doctor left, Elena couldn't help but smile when she looked at Vivian who was still frightened.
She was originally in a bad mood today because her mother had arranged for the young master of the Royston family to be her dance partner. Growing up, she was just a useful prop to her mother.
When she was very young, her mother told her: "You must live for your brother. Only by supporting him to become king can you avoid being executed."
"I'm really sorry for making you laugh." Vivian's face turned red.
The princess asked her what happened? Do you need your own help?
Vivian didn't tell the truth. After all, no one believed her. Her sweet and sweet brother turned out to be a murderer?
After a simple wash at night, Vivian closed her eyes and lay on the bed, when suddenly Lu Ming called.
Early the next morning, the palace knights sent her to the Winter Palace, and the person standing outside the door to greet her happened to be Victor.
Vivian smiled at him, and Victor suddenly felt uneasy. It was obvious that he had been the one taking the initiative since he was young, so why did he suddenly change?
Victor was puzzled, but in front of everyone, he had to behave like a gentleman in order to win people's hearts.
Vivian has two personal maids, Laura and Anne. Lola is the illegitimate daughter of a baron. Because she was injured and could not be sold for a good price, she was often beaten.
Anne is the daughter of the knight captain. She is very beautiful and has good skills. Everyone thinks that the knight captain is too happy.
