Chapter 396 The Marquis
At Tavare Pier, the three-masted flying shears that had put away the sails slid into the berth, and naturally someone pushed the gangway to the side of the ship.
Rows of black steam cars were parked on the shore at the end of the pier, and soldiers of the Kingdom of Light, wearing shiny breastplates, lined up in two rows, attracting the attention of the people on the boat.
"Madam, you're ready." The male servant who was over fifty years old was dressed in formal clothes, a light gray coat and white shirt, a black bow tie tie tied around his neck, a shiny leather shoes and a meticulous hair. It's hard to tell that he had just experienced a long voyage of thousands of miles.
The woman in front of the servant stretched out a small hand with lace gloves, stood up slowly with the help of the servant, lifted the corner of her long skirt, and took a small step up the stairs.
After drilling out of the cabin, the sunlight hit the complex embroidered long skirt, and it actually reflected a golden light, probably with gold thread mixed in the embroidery thread.
A man in a slim blue military uniform came up with a brown belt with a palm-wide palm tied around his waist. The metal belt buckle turned out to be a relief of a tiger's head, which was very eye-catching.
The man in the military uniform had a blond hair, and was not very old, and he smiled cutely, "Marquis Sosa, welcome to Tavare."
The male servant lay in the woman's ear and whispered, and the woman's eyes swept across the face of the man in a military uniform opposite, with a calm expression and a cold voice: "Call me Victoria."
"Okay, Mrs. Victoria." The blue eyes smiled into a crescent moon.
The man in a military uniform led the way, and the servant held up a large umbrella to shade the Marquis. The three of them passed through the middle of the armored sergeant lined up and walked to the steamer on the shore.
The man in a military uniform opened the car door, and the servant put away his umbrella to support the Marquis in the car, reached out to close the door, and the door remained motionless.
The man in blue military uniform held the car door with one hand, smiled at the servant and said, "Thank you, the car behind you." After saying that, he lowered his head, got into the steamer and closed the car door.
The vehicle started, leaving behind a shocked servant standing in place with an umbrella.
"My name is Jacques, you should know that I am an imperialist, from Castia." The man in a military uniform adjusted his seat and said to the Marquis opposite him.
The Marquis found that he had not brought a folding fan with him, so he had to reach out and press the collar of the square collar skirt to cover the smooth and delicate skin of the fat color.
He raised his head slightly, and his brown curly hair jumped elastically, and the diamond-covered headdress refracted a ray of sunshine. "What about your position? Empire? Or the Kingdom of Light?"
"Of course it's the Kingdom of Light..." Jacques grabbed the collar of his military uniform and said, "I want to be worthy of this outfit."
The Countess twitched her delicate nose slightly and no longer wanted to talk to the man in front of her.
So what if it looks good, just a good-looking traitor.
The steam car moved forward steadily, and the men and women in the car were speechless.
Victoria de Sosa, the only marquis of the Principality of Stuart, came to Tavare this time to negotiate with the Kingdom of Light.
Stuart has always been the most powerful of the three major priests. After seizing the central part of the New World as a colony, its national strength has been improved to a higher level, which has also made the Stuarts gradually feel that they can already fight the royal family.
However, I didn't expect that news came from afar and most of the colonies were lost overnight.
Then there was even more bad news. The core city of the colony, Tavare, was also captured by the Kingdom of Light. The troops returning to the aid were defeated outside the territory of Tavare. After losing their troops, they returned to Candrak City, but found that Candrak City, which guarded the river valley, was also occupied by the troops of the Kingdom of Light.
Although there were still thousands of soldiers remaining in the colony, they became rootless duckweed and had to retreat to the northern coast to wait for support.
Unfortunately, the Duchy of Stuart was in a tense period of declaring war with the royal family and the Principal of Castia, and had no time to support the colonies.
The annoying "New Beijing Daily" also mocked the sarcastic mockery that if the Principality of Stuart cannot protect the Empire's interests in the New World, it would be better to give up the colony and the royal family would regain the lost land. However, before that, the Grand Duke of Stuart needed to publicly apologize for his previous misconduct, and the regained land would also be incorporated into the royal family's colony.
Against this background, there were local reinforcements among the Governor Neutra, but only the Marquis of Sosa.
She is here to negotiate.
...
Called a "traitor", Jacques was angry and didn't bother to pay attention to the beautiful woman opposite him, and closed her eyes and rested.
After looking at the street scene outside the car window, the Marquis felt a little awkward. Thinking that the servant had reminded her that the young man in front of her was responsible for receiving him, not out of politeness, but out of lubrication of the relationship between the two parties, the Marquis took the initiative to say, "Have Mr. Jacques been to the New World before?"
Jacques opened his eyes and replied, "I had a trip through the New World a year ago. It was the second time I came to Tavare."
"This is my first time in the New World. Can you tell me what the New World looks like in your eyes?" asked the Marquis.
"The land of vitality and opportunity," replied Jacques, "I like it."
The Marquis' pretty face turned red, and he missed his small folding fan a little. He held his hands awkwardly together and said slowly: "I thought Mr. Jacques's opportunity was encountered in the Kingdom of Light."
This woman is still mocking me, endlessly!
"I think my greatest opportunity is to meet in the port of Mussa in Castia." Jacques emphasized that he was from Castia.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot just now. Actually, I was born in the New World, Medis, and built a great city on the top of the mountain." Jacques added, and then began to introduce Medis City.
The Marquis had seen paintings depicting Medics, and in Jacques' description imagined the majestic city on the top of the mountain, revealing a hint of a long-lasting horse.
"So, I should be considered a New World, welcome you to my hometown." Jacques said with a smile.
"Mr. Jacques, you are wrong. Tavare is a colony of the Principal of Stuart." The Marquis said seriously.
Jacques waved his hand, "Marquises, you are wrong. This land originally belonged to the Navajo tribe, the Kingdom of Pector, the Cheyenne, and the Tavare tribe. Look, this Tavare town was originally built by the Tavare tribe. In short, we all came to the New World to make a living.
By the way, do you know if the Marquis knows where all the indigenous people who originally lived in Tavare went?
Some time ago, the army of the Kingdom of God saved hundreds of indigenous people enslaved by plantation owners on the west coast. Hasn’t slavery all been abolished? Not to mention this, guess where did these indigenous people migrate?
