Find an old widower with a title, have your lover marry the old widower, and give the old widower an annuity. The condition is that after the old widower's death, the remaining annuity will be transferred to the lover, and the title will be inherited by your illegitimate son. Marseille was the surname of the old widower chosen by the great nobleman. Old Marseille was a learned man, and Marseille's mother took good care of him, so he implemented a gifted education for little Marseille. However, he seemed to have included his past romantic affairs into the educational content, resulting in little Marseille becoming a romantic figure when she grew up. In 1223, at the age of 16, he became famous in the poetry world for his long poem describing his mother's complicated love history. Unfortunately, it was Irinan Trastamara who favored Marcela, so Marcela was only a poetry star for a year. With Irinan's gender change and the intensification of internal conflicts in the Trastamara family, he was expelled by Alfonso. Marseille disappeared from people's sight for a long time, and the next time he appeared, he made big news: in 1230, he married the widow of the late legendary Saint Rodrigo Don Rodic, who was a wealthy and influential widow. Money makes the world go round. After Marseille became rich again, he used 200,000 dinars to persuade his father, Duke Berry, the chairman of the National Assembly of the Hathor Federation, who had once abandoned him, to recognize him, and thus Marseille became the "Count of Marseille". Count Marseille returned to his old profession of writing poetry. With his handsome appearance and legendary experience, he developed extramarital affairs with several duchesses. With their joint help, last year, when he was 26 years old, he was "elected" the youngest member of the National Assembly. Obviously, this is more than just a simple affair of "a successful man with many women behind him".

The National Assembly gathered the third force in the Hathor Federation. They opposed localism (the Triple Alliance) and did not agree with centralized autocracy (the Royalists), but hoped to take a republican path. Both the Triple Alliance and the Royalists tried their best to win over the Republicans, while the Republicans implemented a balancing strategy. The Duke of Berry favored the Trastamara family and came to Waite every year to meet Isabella. At the same time, the Duke needed to cast an equal weight on the side of the Triple Alliance, so he legalized his illegitimate son who had a close relationship with the Holy Land State and made him the Count of Marseilles. The Duke of Berry's allies and vassals, while enjoying themselves with this handsome and suave man, sent the Earl to Parliament after a cold and precise calculation of their interests. There are many members of the National Assembly, but a 26-year-old member means that he has a great chance of following the promotion path of member - secretary of state - local governor - deputy speaker of the parliament - minister of a powerful department - speaker of the parliament. The change occurred in January this year. The Duke of Berry fell ill after attending the funeral of the Duke of Alva, resigned from his position and returned home to recuperate. The Duke of Berry's heirs were incompetent, which unbalanced the Duke's family. This was the information Corneille had compiled for Dias, who wrote it all down, and his smart classmates had already understood the significance of Count Marseille's visit. "In order to rebalance the situation, Count Marseille visited Waite and made an appointment to meet with Her Royal Highness Isabella to improve relations so that the weights placed by the Duke of Berry on both sides would be equal again, right?" Anne asked. “…That’s right.” Since they met again on Monday, Diaz has been acting very strangely towards Annie. Annie initially thought that Diaz hated her contact with other men, but now... She found an opportunity and whispered to Dias: "Mr. Toledo, no matter what kind of relationship we develop in the future, I will not take Mr. Corneille away." "?! What are you talking about, Miss Longueville? Pierre and I are just good friends." Anne smiled as she watched Dias blush and explain in a panic. The witch of Longueville may not understand what love is, but she always knows how to have fun. To be able to eat women's gigolo, Count Marseille must have some skills: in terms of appearance, he is a handsome man with a well-proportioned figure, fair skin, blond hair and blue eyes, as handsome as an angel. Diligent exercise has made his body very strong, and in his every move, the balance of elegance and strength is just right. He has bright eyes and excellent eloquence, always making people feel warm and at ease; he is a master of expression management, and his temperament can switch between being elegant and easy-going and being wild and unrestrained, thus satisfying the fantasies of different women about men at different stages. Count Marseille had rich practical experience, and he knew Waite's basic information, so he had made certain psychological preparations... Despite this, Count Marseille could not stand Waite's feminine craziness. Along the way, he had no idea how many times his butt was secretly pinched and how many sweet words mixed with naked lust were said to him. Even after arriving at the academy, those unruly witches still tried to take advantage of him, causing Marseille to sweat as she tried to maintain her elegant persona while avoiding the harassment. To this end, Count Marseilles thought quickly and wanted to visit the son of his father's old friend, the third Duke of Alva, Dias Toledo.

Diaz was a little flustered when he was asked to see her. Anne said, "It's okay, Mr. Toledo. I'm nearby." Because of Corneille's incident, Dias was worried about Anne, but when facing outsiders, Dias felt that Anne made him feel at ease... He didn't know how to define the other person for a moment. "Hello, Mr. Toledo, I have wanted to meet you for a long time, but I was too busy serving my country before and could not do so." Count Marseilles greeted Dias warmly, but after just a few words, he saw through Dias's social attributes, then restrained his enthusiasm, kept his distance, and spoke to him with a calm and sincere expression. He soon found out Dias's topic preference and started talking about Corneille. "Mr. Corneille's strength and loyalty are the talk of the town, and I want to write a poem for him. However, I dare not write easily, so as not to insult his reputation." Count Marseille thought for a moment and took out his business card: "I wonder if you are free this weekend. I would like to invite you two gentlemen to attend the charity banquet prepared by Her Highness Isabella." This was exactly what Corneille needed, so Dias agreed to socialize with Count Marseille. Before leaving, Count Marseille said meaningfully: "You and I are both the best young people of this era. Let us give Her Highness Isabella an unforgettable surprise. There will be a day when that will happen, I promise." Dias did not understand what Count Marseille meant. After returning to the mansion, he quickly turned into "her". He did not even bother to change his clothes. The girl in men's clothing took out her business card and put it into Corneille's palm as if to seek credit. Corneille praised: "Well done, Dias!" "Well, it's good to be able to help Pierre." Diaz put her hands behind her back and smiled foolishly. After a while, she felt that she had lost her composure, so she gathered her hair and hurried away, saying she was going to "change clothes." Melusina, who saw this scene from afar, retreated back to her room, and for a moment she was a little envious of Dias. She doesn't want to get married, but she longs for a sincere and passionate relationship... Unfortunately, there is no "Corneille" in her social circle. When people are single for a long time, they tend to think too much. Melusina lay on the sofa and spent an hour with confused thoughts. She decided to take a walk in the courtyard. When she came out, she saw the bathroom door was wide open and hot air was rushing into the corridor. Corneille stood shirtless in front of the mirror, wiping his hair carelessly. The outline of his powerful arms was like a sculpture, and the scars gave his body a cruel and sympathetic beauty. Corneille's firm pectoral muscles were shining because of the water stains left on them. When the water drops slid in the shallow grooves of his abdominal muscles, Melusina felt that her eyes were also following the water drops. "Good evening, Ms. Melusina, are you going out? The wind is blowing, I suggest you put on more clothes," said Corneille. The foreigner who did not observe male ethics smiled at the love-deprived witch, and it was like a stone ball that hit Melusina directly, making her head buzz and her whole body freeze in place. Fortunately, a mouse foraging for food rescued her. Corneille muttered "I should get a cat" and chased the mouse, while Melusina stumbled back to her room and slammed the door. She covered her face, and time allowed her heartbeat to return to a steady state, her cheeks to no longer feel hot, and she even tried to forget Corneille's smile... But that unethical body was deeply imprinted in her heart. Chapter 19 Sister Helena Afterwards, Corneille felt that Melusina was avoiding him, and thought that it was probably unethical for him to come out of the bathroom wearing only a pair of shorts in Waite. However, Corneille did not intend to change. This was Toledo Mansion, his home for the next few years. Why should he accommodate the Waites and change his living habits? As for the impact on Melusina, he thought it was minimal. Melusina, a witch in the realm of "lovers", remains single, which shows that she has a pessimistic and fearful attitude towards love and marriage. A herbivore, she is useless even if she is given a chance.

Therefore, the closest real impact of this incident is that Melusina needs to spend time dealing with the smell in the room. On Saturday, Diaz performed a relatively relaxing male duty: accompanied by a guard officer, he went on an outing and picnic with female school students from other areas. The students were all ordinary people, and with Polly close by, with her hand on the hilt of the sword with murderous intent, no one dared to act rashly. According to Anne, the probability of these girls graduating from girls' schools finding a husband is only one in three, and their precious memories of getting along with the opposite sex are in these repeated male duties. At this time, Dias vaguely realized that in Waite, not only men had lost their human rights, but ordinary women as well. They were all oppressed by the extraordinary people using different means. Therefore, faced with the girls' enthusiastic feeding, Dias could not bear to refuse. After he came back and became "her", he dragged Corneille for walks in the courtyard and even tried to play on the parallel bars in order to help digest the food. As her skirt flew up, Corneille lifted her down. Dias had not yet realized that Waite's skirt was in danger of exposing her. "Play for a while and then go back," Corneille put his friend down from his arms. "Her Highness Isabella is an emotional person. Your first audience is very important. It's related to your impression score." Dias's hand lingered on Corneille's collar for two seconds, and finally let go. She put her hair behind her back and looked at the horizon with some worry. Isabella finally did not get too stingy and sent a formal invitation, business cards and a personally signed letter of apology to the Duke of Alva and his entourage. In the first half of the apology letter, she explained that the reason for not inviting Dias was that she was afraid that the crowded and noisy environment would be harmful to the Duke's health. In the second half, she tactfully explained the real reason: concern about Diaz's financial resources. After the first meeting, Corneille received a "greeting gift" of 30,000 dinars from Isabella. If part of this money was spent on the charity dinner, it would undoubtedly be a black humor to Isabella. Isabella did not need to recover funds in this way. She preferred that her subjects' money be spent wisely. This made her decide not to invite Diaz, so as not to further worsen his already poor financial situation. However, in order to win over Count Marseille, she gave him considerable conveniences, which resulted in Count Marseille having the right to increase the guest list. After Count Marseilles invited Dias, Isabella was forced to make urgent patches to avoid disappointing his subjects. Corneille took 30,000 dinars from someone, and his position forced him to believe that what Isabella said was true, but he suspected that the dispute over the list involved some kind of soft confrontation between Count Marseille and Isabella. At the funeral of the previous Duke, Dias only participated in a part of the process due to her poor health and was unable to make her debut as the third Duke of Alba, so she attached great importance to the opportunity to meet Isabella. The next evening, looking at the carriages that lined up like a long river outside the palace, Dias was a little surprised: "So many people?" Polly, who was traveling with her, replied: "Because there are so many men here, and they don't care about the bullshit male ethics. For the witches of Waite, it's just like that kind of place... The mechanism of human estrus throughout the year makes reproduction no longer sacred, but a morally corrupt pleasure." No one wanted to discuss the mechanism and morality of estrus, so Corneille asked: "We will probably be here for several hours, what are you going to do, Miss Polly?" Polly took out some dried meat, water and bread: "I'll stay here and wait for you to come back." "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Polly," Dias said. "Oh, good luck to you too, Your Excellency the Duke. Polly jumped into the carriage, and Corneille escorted Dias into the palace with his ticket, saying with a smile: "That dog-man girl seems to like you very much." "?" "She only shows a gentle expression to you, and even speaks with a bit of a clip. When facing other people, both her expression and voice seem fierce."

Diaz smiled bitterly: "She likes children, and she treats me like a child." "It's better than being treated as a woman, right?" Dias nudged Corneille with his elbow: "Pierre, stop making fun of gender!" Because of the theme of "charity", Isabella deliberately decorated the venue in a simple and low-key manner, but the simplicity in the "emperor's" cognition still seemed very luxurious. Isabella was talking to the guests in the corridor. She was wearing a short-sleeved black gauze dress that showed a little bit of her cleavage. The skirt was short in front and long in the back, revealing her fair and well-proportioned calves and high heels. In the Commonwealth, it was considered promiscuous for a woman to expose her calves in formal occasions, but at Waite, almost all women's evening gowns had hems that only reached around the knees. Diaz said with emotion: "She is so beautiful... Wait, Pierre, if you say 'not as good as you' again, I will be angry." "Well, you're a little worse than her." "..." Corneille tilted his head and looked at Dias: "Are you angry?" "No, it suddenly occurred to me that it's funny for a man like me to compare his looks with a woman." Afterwards, Dias vaguely realized how terrifying the amount of magic power Isabella possessed. Isabella wears no jewelry and carries no scepter, but has promised to auction off the items to help unemployed people in the Ixtapa district, whose plight she laments. "Our Highness has made the final statement on the affairs of the Ixtapa District," Corneille whispered to Diaz. "She has no intention of interfering with the actions of the local administrators." "I can understand...sigh." Diaz sighed. Count Marseille took the opportunity to announce that he would donate 3,000 dinars to Isabella's Black Hawk Welfare Foundation... a donation amount that was quite federal in style. Under the pretext of "not engaging in moral kidnapping", in the Federation, the rich and unkind upper class can spend 10,000 dinars on a boring thing, but they are very careful with every charity. Isabella took the opportunity to introduce Count Marseille to her ministers. When the Count Marseille, who was as handsome as an angel, paid an audience with Isabella, many witches stared with their eyes wide open. Dias' attention was elsewhere. He whispered, "Pierre, that nun is dressed very strangely." Corneille looked over and saw the person Dias was talking about sitting in a corner, eating ice cream like crazy. Unlike the traditional style of Anglican nuns who were wrapped in a black robe, the nun's uniform was very hot: The hem only reaches the knees, revealing the wearer's well-proportioned calves; it is designed to be slim-fitting and has a belt to restrain the wearer's graceful figure. As if to draw attention to the towering beauty of the nun's robe, the gold thread meanders across the chest, depicting a wonderful scene of cracked earth, oak trees growing in the cracks, and branches radiating outward. The wearer wears a black lace eye mask and long-sleeved gloves on her face and arms, which looks both mysterious and interesting. Combined with the modified nun's uniform, everyone will keep their eyes on her and look at her again and again. (Good evening, everyone. I am Helena, the witch of the Holy Grail branch of the “Fool” realm.) A strange voice sounded in the minds of Corneille and Dias at the same time. The nun who was eating ice cream looked up and waved to the two of them.
