Chapter 1934 Phaethon’s Chariot

William III was assassinated in 1696. It is said that he was a follower of James II, hoping to use this method to allow James II to regain the throne.

Maybe it was at that time that the Ministry of Magic sent Aurors to protect dignitaries. After all, France was also having a "poison incident" at that time. When the call for separation became louder and louder, even people like the Malfoy family who had ties to Muggles

Pure-blood families with close interests had to give up their views and instead supported the Ministry of Magic in enforcing the International Statute of Secrecy.

At that time, Aurors were still protecting the king, but now they are protecting the Prime Minister in Downing Street. Unfortunately, the current Muggle Prime Minister rarely knows these inside stories, after all, they are elected. Anyway, the British Prime Minister changes often, and later the magic

The Ministry was too lazy to inform the Prime Ministers of its existence and placed a portrait in the Prime Minister's Office.

The Austrians, who were originally defeated by the French army, not only regained their lost territory during the War of the Spanish Throne because of Prince Eugen, but also took away the land occupied by France in Italy. Even the Holy Roman Empire, which was full of electors,

The title of prince is not something that just anyone can have, but Prince Eugen received this title because he withstood the personal conquest of a Sultan, and his reputation was almost as famous as that of Charles the Hammer, which suddenly resounded throughout Europe.

I don’t know what Louis XIV thought at the time. Anyway, time passed by and the younger generation gradually grew up, including his illegitimate daughter Marie-Anne de La Valliere. She was the one with blue eyes and a slight

The daughter of La Valliere, the first officially recognized mistress who could make the king's heart melt when she cried.

Maybe La Valliere was not of high birth, but she was indeed a beauty. The daughter she gave birth to became the most beautiful rose in the Palace of Versailles when she was only 13 years old. People in the palace called her the daughter of the gods. Her fragrant bedroom

It is simply a shrine to Venus.

But Louis XIV pointed her out to Prince Conti, who can be called a prince in France. In the Bourbon Dynasty, only Conde, Conti and later Prince Napoleon were the only ones. Their official title was monsieur le prince, which means "

"Mr. Prince", Conti is a branch of Conde, both are "blood princes", and the king's own son is the "Prince of France".

All in all, as an illegitimate daughter, she was able to marry Prince Conti, a blood-related prince, as a princess instead of a French prince. This was definitely a twist of fate.

But Marie-Anne cried when she heard about the engagement. She preferred little Conti, the prince's younger brother, to Prince Conti himself. But she not only inherited her mother's bright and moist eyes.

, and inherited her timid character. Louis XIV always felt sorry for this daughter, so he asked her what was going on. She did not dare to tell her at the time, and only waited until she got married to say that her husband was not good at that.

She was only 13 years old, but she was not allowed to say such things in public. Louis XIV scolded her. Later, the young couple got along harmoniously. However, they did not see any children for many years, and only one son survived.

The male protagonists in fairy tales seem to be all "princes", so many princes may only exist in Germany, and the Grimm's Fairy Tales just happen to collect German stories.

Many girls have the dream of Cinderella, putting on a beautiful dress, dressing up beautifully and making the prince fall in love at first sight.

The character of a "prince" is not written in the book. Anyway, he must find a girl who can wear those glass slippers.

What size are Cinderella's feet? If she has a standard figure, she should have a standard foot shape, and her pair of shoes should be able to be worn by many people.

What kind of prince is this? He relies on a pair of shoes to find his fiancée. Didn’t he fall in love with the girl’s beauty? He can be identified more by her face than by her feet.

Of course, ignore these "details", the main thing is to dress beautifully and attend a luxurious ball...

Fairy Godmother’s friendly reminder, don’t drink too much water, otherwise it will be troublesome to go to the toilet.

...The main thing is to dress beautifully to attend the dance. Dance partners are very important. Normal girls will look for handsome and tall ones, while ambitious girls will look for those with powerful positions. Who would like Bonaparte who has nothing?

?

Rose Beauharnais saw him. The Beauharnais and his wife had also missed the ball in Versailles before, but they were all minor nobles and could not come to the king's presence.

Beauharnais also suffered bad luck because of this background and was guillotined.

Napoleon was a soldier, and he would not let soldiers be guillotined casually like in the past.

If Josephine's husband had not died, would Napoleon have met a sociable woman like Josephine, a woman who could give his career a start?

The most important thing is that she washed away his foreign identity, something the British female spy Georgiana could never do.

Since the 18th century, a profession called plant hunters has become popular. Their job is to go to inaccessible places to find various rare plants, and then bring their specimens or seeds back to the civilized world.

Sold to nobles and wealthy people who like plants.

Josephine was such a collector. She not only raised a lot of roses, but also had a greenhouse. However, Bonaparte didn't like the greenhouse. He often ran inside to cause damage like an animal in the forest.

If he could stop and look carefully, he would find a plant called winged gourd in this tropical greenhouse.

Its pods grow as big as footballs and contain hundreds of seeds, each with paper-thin "wings."

These seeds fly high in the trees through the forest and far away in the breeze, as if they are performing some kind of graceful dance in the air.

Have you ever seen Ikanos flying? The important thing is not how high it flies, or whether it is lighter than the air, but the elegance and balance.

You must learn to control height and direction so that those wings can take you to wherever you want to go.

The waltz keeps spinning, like winged gourd seeds flying in the air, or like a moving celestial body. But you chose the wrong partner, Leon, she is waiting for you, you should not forget the person who discovered you

.

"I once told my students that you should not abandon your original dance partner just because you find a better partner." She said looking at the man in front of her who was wearing the same uniform as Victor Klum.

This dress is green, and he is not a prince. People prefer to call him a tyrant or a dictator.

And another title, emperor, a title that should have been buried with the feudal system long ago.

"Stop talking, we are dreaming." He smiled and said, "What do you care about in a dream?"

She didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I regret it," he said, "I should not have given Venice away when negotiating a peace treaty."

"Are you thinking..."

"Dancing with the most beautiful woman in the most beautiful living room in Europe."

She thought he was talking in his sleep, but that was true. They were actually dreaming.

She looked around at the splendor and guests, including soldiers in uniforms and celebrities in formal wear.

They held a military parade in Rouen in the morning and a reception in the evening at the town hall, which used to be a church.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked.

"I...I can't think anymore." She said gibberish.

"Then don't think about it." He said smartly, leading her to dance in the church in an immoral dance.

Only the two of them danced the whole dance, because her dance partner was the one they welcomed.
