Father Mavie

Chapter 489 Freya de Chevally (Please Subscribe!!!)

Mavi felt that he should be clear about what the eldest prince was thinking.

He will not pity Helena, nor will he persuade Levin like a saint.
It is not unrelated to Helena's own choice to come to this point and become a political victim.

As the lover of the eldest prince Charles, Helena gained fame and wealth. She was made popular by the eldest prince. Even if it wasn't for her, the eldest prince Charles could also make other dancing girls popular.

Of course, the behavior of the eldest prince Charles treating Helena like an item and wantonly changing hands made Mavi feel very uncomfortable and even a little disgusted.

But he must admit that there are too many dirty things among the nobles, and there are many more dirty things than this.

This is power, driven wantonly, power that can determine life and death, so that ordinary people have no strength to resist.

Even if they want to resist, they will often pay a heavy price, and the punishment in exchange is indifferent to the perpetrator.

This is the law of survival in nature, and its power is greater than everything else, but a civilized society is not the natural world. The reason why civilization is called civilization is because it has a unique set of operating rules and order, rather than pure technological development.

The behavior of the eldest prince reminded Mavi.

Whether it is a church or a kingdom, once there are factions and group competition within the church, its order must be chaotic.

Just like the Kingdom of Windsor, the three princes competed for the throne, and the nobles and gentry lined up and joined together to form an interest group. No matter who wins, the interest group that wins in the end will become a brand new ruling class, and what they do The nasty things that happened, also naturally disappeared.

Who can judge them?

Mavi looked back at Junia who was following Roseanne, holding a small plate in her hand and constantly tasting pastries.

The coming of a god is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as the god is just and fair and discerns right from wrong.

"Mr. Nicholas, let me introduce you."

When Ma Wei was thinking, many high-ranking people had already gathered around Prince Charles. They were dressed in evening gowns of different colors and attended the ceremony with friendly smiles on the corners of their mouths.
After all, those who came to this banquet were all members of their interest groups.

"This is Donald, President of the London Pharmacists' Union, and this is Lord Leslie, Mayor of Ealing"

The eldest prince introduced the members of his interest group to Mavi, like a peacock with its tail open, showing off its own strength, hoping to attract Mavi's attention.

He did it. The names of the president of the pharmacists' union and Baron Leslie, Ma Wei remembered all of them in his heart.

but
As more and more people gathered around the eldest prince, Ma Wei peeked at his pocket watch and found that it was already 8:10, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, where is the bathroom?"

"Go out and turn left."

Seeing that the eldest prince asked a waiter to help him lead the way, Ma Wei quickly declined: "I can go by myself."

"it is good."

Leaving Jonas to deal with these high-ranking people, Ma Wei hurriedly walked out of the banquet hall. Before going out, he did not forget to take a look at Junia. Although Junia had been eating snacks, her attention was still on Ma Wei When he saw him leaving, he quickly put down his plate and followed.

There were people coming and going in front of the bathroom, and Ma Wei led Junia across the corner to the bottom of the empty stairs, held her little hand, and activated the ring that reproduced the Heart of the Jungle without hesitation.

Swish!
The figure disappeared, and the next second appeared in the grove in front of Villa No. 4 on the north shore of the lake. Ma Wei tidied up his clothes, and pulled Junia towards the gate of the villa.

The banquet has already started, but the second prince Shukri is still standing in front of the door looking forward to it, looking at his pocket watch from time to time, waiting anxiously.

When he saw Mavi and Junia walking towards the villa, his eyes lit up, he breathed a sigh of relief, and greeted them with open arms.

"Nicholas! My friend! You have come!"

"Sorry sorry, I'm late."

"It's only a few minutes, and the banquet has just begun. Why didn't you see your two younger brothers?"

"Oh, to be honest, they are attending the banquet at Villa No. 3. I have received too many invitations tonight, and I have to go to Villa No. 4 later." Ma Wei said frankly.

The smile froze on his face, and the second prince Shukri suspected that he had heard it wrong: "Nicholas also accepted the invitation from Charles and Andrew?"

"Yes."

Ma Wei didn't hide it, he had already shown his face at the banquet, even if he didn't say anything, the matter would spread the next day, so there's no need to cover it up.

Be honest, but it will be easier for others to accept.

The second prince didn't worry too much about Mavi's participation in three banquets at the same time, and he soon cheered up and said with a smile: "Tonight I have invited a big man, Archbishop Brandon!"

Hearing the name of Archbishop Brandon, Mavie's eyelids twitched slightly.

As the archbishop who supports the second prince, Brandon is the second prince's biggest protection. In order to avoid suspicion, Archbishop Brandon rarely appears at the same time as the second prince Shukri. Today
It must have come with a purpose.

In the banquet hall, Mavi met Baron Frederick, Stuart, Smith and others, as well as Elizabeth, the wife of the second prince Shukri. Compared with the wife of the eldest prince, Elizabeth seemed a bit mediocre, not like Roseanne Her handling methods and etiquette are very good, but it just makes people feel that she is not as capable as Roseanne, her eyes are too simple, and she doesn't look like a scheming city.

Maybe this is just Mavi's illusion, maybe Elizabeth is hiding something deep?

Compared with the eldest prince Charles, the second prince Shukri's interest group is also huge, but the quality is slightly inferior, such as the vice president of the pharmacists union and the district chief of Kingston in South London.
Ealing District is in West London and is the wealthiest place in London. Although the mayor there is on the same level as the mayor of Kingston District, his influence is completely different.

This is not to say that the second prince Shukri is worse than the eldest prince Charles, but that the primogeniture system has played a role.

As long as Charles makes no mistakes, the throne must be his, unless the church takes action.

However, Archbishop Ubli, who originally supported the Grand Prince, has become the Pope, and his successor, Archbishop Camberley, is also a member of the Grand Prince's camp. From this point of view.
The eldest prince's succession to the throne seems to be a certainty.

It's no wonder that the second prince Shukri was a little irritable. No one could settle down in such an emergency.

However, the influence of the second prince at Oxford University is not trivial. Most of his interest groups are social elites who graduated from Oxford University. They work in various areas of London and belong to middle-level officials with actual power.

Even Professor James Morea, who Mavi met at the Covent Royal Opera House yesterday, came to the banquet hosted by the second prince.

"Nicholas, look"

After greeting Baron Frederick and the others, the second prince Shukri patted Mavi on the shoulder and looked towards the center of the banquet hall.

There gathered a group of male nobles surrounded by a beautiful woman in a long red dress and a diamond necklace.

The woman was holding a glass of red wine. The red wine made her skin fairer, and every frown and smile was full of charm.

"Her name is Freya de Chevalier. Her ancestors are Bourbons. She became an aristocrat in the Kingdom of Windsor by chance 400 years ago. She has been hereditary until now. She is a veritable duke and lady." The second prince Shukri said with a smile : "Her husband passed away due to illness two years ago, and left a large fortune. Whoever marries her will skyrocket."

The Bourbons, who became the nobles of the Kingdom of Windsor 400 years ago?

Old is old, but this time point is a little subtle
Doesn't it happen to be the period of the Hundred Years War between the Kingdom of Windsor and the Kingdom of Popang?

During that period, a Bourbon could be a nobleman in the Kingdom of Windsor and still be a duke
This has to bring a whole legion to mutiny, right?
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"Nicholas, we are all friends, so I will just say a few words of truth." The second prince Shukri glanced at Junia: "Emma is only four years old this year, and it is the best time to receive education. You are busy all day long." How can you start a business without anyone in your family to control it? Freya is the daughter of the duke family, her family is well-off, and both status and wealth are beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"The Manstein family used to be the ancient Junker nobles. In terms of status, you match her very well. If you marry her."

"The Manstein family can not only restore the title of nobility, but also officially become the duke family of the Kingdom of Windsor. Isn't this a great thing?"
