Versailles is an excellent place for hunting. Hunters can often bring back strong stags from here. Even the Palace of Versailles was originally a hunting palace built by Louis XIII to facilitate hunting here.

Grosso, who was riding in the middle of the group, suddenly turned his head and looked at the woods on the left side of the road. He heard an inconspicuous rustling sound coming from there, and then a deer-like animal noticed the people marching and jumped up and down.

He jumped and ran deep into the woods.

"Hey, I bet that's definitely a deer."

Grosso said to Lawrence almost certainly without looking at the animal carefully.

Lawrence asked with some surprise:

"Aren't you a sailor? Do you still know this?"

Grosso raised his head proudly and said:

"That's all happening later. When I was young, I was a top-notch hunter in my hometown. The local landowners often asked me to be their guide, and the reward was at least one florin gold coin. Don't look at me ten times.

I haven’t been in the woods for several years, but I dare say that among the nobles here, 99% of them are not as good at hunting as me."

"That's it..."

Lawrence nodded thoughtfully, suddenly remembered something, and quickly waved to Grosso to come over, and then whispered some instructions in his ear.

"Is this...is this okay?"

After listening to Lawrence's instructions, Grosso shook his head hesitantly and said:

"I can't guarantee that I can do it, and if it does, it will be quite dangerous for you kid."

Lawrence just patted Grosso on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Didn't you say that you are a first-class hunter? This shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Grosso curled his lips, pointed at the twenty precision shooters behind Lawrence and said:

"Okay, but I need to bring some helpers. Send me ten people, only with knives and no guns."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "No problem." Lawrence pointed to the shooters behind him with his chin, indicating to Grosso to pick someone and start taking action immediately.

Soon, the team led by Grosso took the initiative to slow down, gradually arrived at the end of the team, and then got into the woods without attracting anyone's attention.

...

After nearly two hours of marching, the hunting team led by Duke Choiseul arrived at the forest farm in the northwest corner.

There is a small castle built in the 13th century in the forest farm. Although it has gone through many vicissitudes, this castle is a good place to stay for many nobles who come to this forestland to hunt.

Most of the nobles chose to take their entourage to rest here for a while, but some were impatient and eager to express themselves. (This chapter is not finished yet!)

The young noble couldn't wait to rush into the forest with his long bow, ready to prove his bravery to everyone.

And where there are men, there are women. This kind of hunting is essentially a social activity, and many nobles also choose to bring their wives, mistresses, or daughters.

But for these ladies, of course they won't go into the woods with bows and arrows and then get covered in dirt and dust in embarrassment. For them, this is actually a tea party in the wild.

The entourage of the ladies carried exquisite picnic boxes and a complete set of porcelain tea sets. When the men began to caress the hounds and adjust the hunting bows, they had already brewed black tea on the grass in front of the castle.

As for the much-anticipated Crown Prince Louis, he seems to have not arrived yet, but many young nobles who are eager to be promoted have already put on flattering gestures and are waiting for the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Lawrence himself was a small focus among the nobles in the castle. People were speculating about his relationship with the Duke of Choiseul behind the scenes. Some bad guy even said that Lawrence was Choiseul.

Such outrageous rumors that the Duke had an illegitimate child.

But it has to be said that the French are obsessed with illegitimate children. In order to attack him, Napoleon's political opponents at the time made up many rumors about Napoleon's origin. For example, Napoleon was the illegitimate son of Paoli, and Napoleon was the illegitimate son of Count Malbeuf.

Rumor.@essence/bookstore·nothing wrong~~

Although Lawrence was too lazy to pay attention to these unflattering rumors, he still walked out of the castle with an out-of-sight, out-of-mind attitude and went to the grass outside to kill time, waiting for the arrival of Crown Prince Louis and the official start of the hunt.

Dozens of picnic cloths have been laid out on the grass outside. The ladies and ladies sat elegantly on the ground with their legs crossed, talking and laughing, exchanging gossips about Paris and the court of Versailles.

Lawrence also found an open space and sat down cross-legged, basking in the bright sun and casually listening to the women's conversation, enjoying a rare moment of leisure time.

However, Lawrence's ears soon detected a discordant sound:

"Oh my god, I've had enough! What on earth do you do for food!"

Judging from the voice, it was a girl who was angrily scolding her servant.

But what surprised Lawrence was that what the girl spoke was not French, but fluent German.

Lawrence turned around and saw that the girl looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. She was wearing a long-sleeved dress trimmed with silver, and her breasts were the azure blue of the Danube River.

The face is also very delicate, as if it was carved out of marble by Michelangelo, and the skin is as fair and smooth as if it were soaked in milk. She has never experienced any hard work, and you can even vaguely see her wrists.

cyan blue veins.

Lawrence frowned and stared at the girl. Although he was a little surprised, judging from her various characteristics, Lawrence still guessed her identity:

"Age fourteen or fifteen, speaks German, has a typical palace temperament, does not wear a wig or hat...it is unmistakable. This must be the French Crown Princess who came to Paris in April, Mary from the Habsburg family.

·Antoinette.”.
