At the dance.
Douglas dances very skillfully.
Mary was born a commoner and had never received any dance training, so Frederick II urgently taught her several times.
Therefore, Mary's performance at this social dance was not elegant, and could even be said to be a bit too bad.
Several times, her high heels stepped on Douglas's feet.
Mary looked apologetic: "Sorry sir, although dance is an option in my family education, my heart is not there..."
Douglas graciously expressed his understanding. He also pretended that he was not steady because Mary stepped on his feet several times.
Every now and then a hand would touch Mary.
Mary seemed not to notice these indecent moves.
Through this ball, Douglass learned that Mary was of noble birth.
He was completely attracted by Mary's temperament, especially Mary's wine-colored dress, which seemed to be tailor-made for her appearance.
Vaguely visible, hazy and ambiguous.
After the dance ended, Douglas looked at the beauty and licked his lips. It would be too boring if he could only get her body for such a beautiful woman.
Although Douglas was lecherous, he still had some taste.
For a woman like Mary, what Douglas wanted to do most was to occupy the beauty's body and mind.
Thinking of this, Douglas suppressed the impulse in his heart.
He did not rush to get started, but showed a gentle smile and said: "The time has passed, Miss Mary, please allow me to send you away."
"After all, a woman as beautiful as you must not be persecuted by those pagans."
Mary did not refuse Douglas's offer to send her home.
But she was very unhappy with Douglass calling the Protestants heretics.
However, Mary did not show her negative emotions, but showed a grateful smile: "Excuse me, Mr. Douglas."
Douglass put Mary into the carriage and saw her off.
…
At this time, America.
British Colony, his fringe area.
Virginia, George's hometown.
He owned large plantations here, which came from his father and his brother Dan.
George's father passed away long ago. As a former large plantation owner, all his father left to George was the plantation and a few slaves.
But George was young at the time and lived with his older brother Dan.
Both of them once loved adventure, but unfortunately, they both contracted smallpox during another voyage.
Although both George and Dan survived, Dan's body, which had been tortured by tuberculosis before, was weakening day by day, and he was infected with smallpox this time. Although Dan survived.
However, due to physical weakness and the heavy injuries caused by his serious illness, Dan passed away not long after this voyage.
Dan's widow did not inherit the large plantation left by Dan.
Instead, these plantations were given to George.
Therefore, George obtained a large plantation. Before joining the army, George lived very rich on the plantation, and he was also very kind to his sister-in-law.
After George joined the army, the Virginia Self-Defense Forces led by Reality achieved a major victory against the French soldiers.
Therefore, George's name, at least where he lives, can be said to be known to many people.
At this moment, George is lying in Mount Vernon, which he inherited from his brother.
Looking at Green lying next to him.
Green asked: "Friend, have you really thought about it? Are you really not ready to join the army?"
"We in Britain will face war, and they need you." Green said seriously.
George glanced at him and withdrew his gaze. He looked at the endless plantations outside and sighed: "Green, don't you think our current life is bad?"
"How free and peaceful."
"Why do you think I will join the army?" George asked.
Green's face was stunned. He had never thought about this problem.
Seeing that he didn't answer, George said calmly: "I like my current life very much. Even if I want to go back to join the army, do you think Clintsy will allow us to go back?"
"Don't forget, the two of us can only live in the plantation now, and Clancy is the one who caused all this."
Green's face darkened.
How much they sacrificed for Britain, even almost losing their lives.
But what they got in exchange was not honor, but the reckoning of Britain's insiders.
Green was naturally very dissatisfied with this result.
However, Greene's dissatisfaction was with Clancy, not with the British colonies.
"I think we should go back."
"This war needs both of us."
George sighed heavily. He didn't want to return to the military camp again.
Commanding the British soldiers to fight and drive out the hateful French, however, this is almost impossible.
The two of them are still alive now, all because Qing Yangshuo stepped in to protect them.
Otherwise, both of them would have died without knowing where they were.
"Don't think too much. We can't go back now, so why not take advantage of the moment and enjoy peace." George stretched out and slumped in the rocking chair.
Green still had a sad look on his face. He couldn't relax like Green and sighed.
Seeing his best brother, he was so devastated.
George closed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "I heard that there is a dance going to be held at Castle William tonight, and many beautiful girls will go."
Hearing the news, Captain Green, who was single until now, cheered up.
He stared at George and asked: "William's Castle, do you have a way to get in?"
Earl William is a famous nobleman in Vergilis. It is not easy to get an invitation to the ball held by him.
George raised his eyelids and said, "I happen to be a little famous in Forgelis. After he heard about leaving the army, he sent me two invitations, hoping that I would go with my sister-in-law."
"But, as you know, my sister-in-law is not someone who likes to join in the fun."
Green's eyes sparkled: "So, if you want to find someone to accompany you, don't worry, I'm free and can take on this responsibility."
George watched Green regain his energy, and his shameless look was exactly that of Green.
George closed his eyes again and did not answer him directly.
"The party starts at six o'clock. If you change into your dress and set off now, we still have time."
Upon hearing this, Green stood up suddenly, jumped on his horse, and quickly went back to change into his dress.
The party is at six o'clock, although it's not too far from Castle William.
However, Green had to dress up carefully.
Seeing this scene, George was stunned. Green, who was still clamoring to return to the British Army just now, changed his attitude as quickly as flipping through a book.
George sighed and looked at the white clouds in the sky, but he missed the life of the British army very much.
