Chapter 1146 "Jewelry Box"

Whether it was the War of the Spanish Throne or the subsequent Czarist Family, it was all ultimately due to the issue of "heirs."

The pure-blood nobles have moved to the back, and there are fewer and fewer options to choose from. There are even incest marriages in the Black family.

Although the Malfoy family is billed as one of the Holy Twenty-Eight families, in fact there is a lot of Muggle blood in their family.

When Harry and Hermione were in fifth grade, they took advantage of adults' attention to young wizards and attacked Umbridge and the Ministry of Magic.

They simply don't know how different the "attention" of wizard parents is from Muggle parents.

There was once a witch who, like the farmer who picked up the Conqueror's Yellow Diamond, sold Salazar Slytherin's locket at an extremely low price.

She was pregnant at the time and needed money urgently. Her husband was a wealthy man and he had the ability to support their mother and son, but that didn't mean he had to do that.

There are no laws and regulations that force you to be a responsible person if you have money, not to mention that old Riddle was addicted to a love potion to be with Merope. Of course, he could choose to abandon his wife and children, as well as other people.

Understand him, there are many women in this world who are greedy for material things and cling to rich people.

A family's upbringing is very important. In Jacob Fogel's era, the clergy were vain and the nobility was corrupt. Relatively speaking, it seemed more fair and just for the citizens to decide who would be the king of Germany.

Jacob Fogel's gold coins were not used for "campaigning". The Holy Roman Empire had been divided at that time to the point where the electors no longer cared who would be the nominal monarch. The "emperor" was just a piece of gold at the auction.

kind of object, a money game between privileged animals.

Bankers are not philanthropists. The two emperors the Fogel family put on the throne were both from the Habsburg family. They provided huge loans to the family and also hoped that the new king would continue to borrow money. There is nothing like loan sharking.

An easier way to make money.

For the emperor to repay this interest, taxes and taxes alone were definitely not enough. In addition, European royal families had always been unrestrained in their pursuit of luxury and ostentation. War was the best way for kings to plunder wealth and repay debts.

If the war is won, the money will be paid back; if the war fails, the money will be borrowed to start the next war.

Marx said that since capital comes into the world, every pore from head to toe is dripping with blood and filth.

As long as there are enough benefits, capitalists can trample all morality and order in the world. Royal families, kings, loyalty, and faith are nothing but tributes they offer to the God of Wealth.

In the opera "Phantom of the Opera", the "Phantom" appears at the engagement ceremony between Christine and the Viscount, asking her to play Don Juan.

Don Juan was a famous libertine, and the poor man was accusing Christine of forgetting about him, the "angel of music" who made her famous after having the Viscount.

Where did the viscounts come from in France after the French Revolution?

There is no shortage of liars in this world. As a foreigner, he only needs to dress smartly. Even if he claims to be a count like the avenger in The Return of Monte Cristo, some people will believe him.

The stubborn little fool will forget how he got everything once he flies into the clouds.

Not all beautiful women are necessarily simple-minded, but they are often confused in the face of various material temptations; men also have the kind of character that "even if they are beautiful monsters, I hope they can have more."

Byron also wrote "Don Juan". The Don Juan he wrote was a temporary game. The Don Juan he wrote was a positive character, full of kindness and justice. Through his various romantic adventures, he described the characters of European society.

It satirizes and criticizes the "Holy Alliance" in various ways.

In the book he wrote:

Life wanders between two worlds, just like the stars hanging in the sky when day and night alternate.

We know very little about what is now; we know even less about what will be in the future; day and night, the water of time rolls away, taking our life like a bubble far away.

The new is born and the old is destroyed, emerging in the waves of time.

The green tombs of a strong country and the vicissitudes of the sea are just like the passing waves.

Nothing is eternal.

But now, there is an "immortal" vampire who carries a huge secret.

He was once a very ordinary human being. A nobleman rode a horse while he rode a sheep. This shows that he was not rich before, but he imagined that he was riding a golden sheep that could produce golden fleece.

He died due to an accident, and his mother made a deal with the devil in order to resurrect him.

He got what many people dream of, but he also had many regrets. For example, his design was not adopted by the rebuilders of the Paris Opera House. Since then, he has switched to interior design.

The vampire Giovanni, an opera-loving architectural designer, grew up with the fairy tale King Ludwig II of Bavaria.

Sissi was obsessed with jewelry, while Ludwig II liked building castles and emptied the Bavarian treasury.

The Linderhof Palace, hidden in the mountains and full of rococo style, was his last retreat. The German ministers must have hated Giovanni.

People said that the table that was raised to protect the king from other people was the "magic table," but Pomona thought it was like a music box without a dancer.

There was a man and a woman in the music box given to her by Severus, but there was no scene of two men dancing in Ludwig's "music box".

"Heirs" need to be born by women. Thanks to this skill, women still have the value of living and are not eliminated due to the natural law of survival of the fittest.

Pomona listened to the waltz coming from the music box, and all she could think of was the night when Giovanni played the piano of Weber's opera in the Linderhof Palace.

He is a lovable and charming vampire, and with his legendary past, it is not surprising that Simeon fell in love with him.

But Simeon is "straight", and one day refugee Simeon's life will stabilize. He will leave Giovanni, marry a woman, and maybe have children, and then Giovanni will be alone again.

Giovanni's life will become very turbulent now, and he may not be able to raise a little boy to provide him with blood like before.

Maybe one day, he will take to the streets of the foggy city, attack humans like Herbert Varney, and become synonymous with terror.

Will Simeon abandon the vampire who once helped him because of this?

Sometimes people are not always human, and not all monsters are monsters.

This is the charm of dark creatures like vampires.

A pair of arms hugged Pomona.

He had the same perfume smell as hers, and his skin was as pale as a vampire.

"Are they gone?" Pomona asked.

"Giovanni has given you a gift," Severus said in a deep voice.

"Oh, I hope it's not diamonds," she said anxiously.

Severus laughed and placed the two pieces of paper on the kitchen table in front of her.

"What's this?"

“Tickets to the premiere of Pride and Prejudice.”

Pomona immediately opened her eyes with excitement.

She picked up the two tickets and looked at the seats. They found they were pretty good. Then she hugged Severus and jumped and screamed as if she had lost her mind.

"Calm down." Severus said with a smile. "It's just a movie."

"You don't understand," she murmured like Mrs. Bennet. "I need a new dress, and jewelry, and oh, and you need a new outfit too."

Severus smiled and shook his head and walked away, as if he thought she was funny.

"Let's go to Paris!" she said, chasing after him. "We're going today!"

"Where's Draco?" Severus asked.

"He went back to Padua. It seems he has something urgent." Pomona frowned dissatisfied. "He is really partial."

"How long have you been his godmother? I have been his godfather for more than 20 years."

"Is time really that important?"

"Don't forget Pansy Parkinson. She hurt Draco's pride."

Only then did Pomona suddenly realize.

"No wonder Draco is so excited."

Severus glanced at her, as if he was about to speak.

"Do you want to go to Paris after having lunch, or do you want to go to Paris to eat French food?" he asked.

"You decide." She took his arm and said, "I want to go to the Paris Opera House to listen to the opera."

"Not going to Notre Dame?"

"It's not like you can visit Paris in one day. We will live in France for a while." Pomona said helplessly, "Let's take a look at what we can give the mermaid as a gift."

"Who will pay for this?" Severus asked.

Pomona intuitively wanted to say Minerva McGonagall.

It's a pity that since Hogwarts is a poor school, she should find someone rich to bear the money.

"I have an idea." Pomona smiled sweetly, "Do you still remember the contract? We have to take care of Hagrid's descendants."

"Of course I remember."

"Hagrid needs Lucius to drop the charges if he wants to go back to being a Caregiver of Magical Creatures class member."

"I don't think Lucius will suffer this loss."

"I have a way to make him willing." Pomona said with a proud smile, "Don't forget, I am a witch who has even deceived the devil."
