Chapter 53 The Princess Who Was Cannon Fodder in the Danmei Novel 3

The news that His Holiness the Pope approved the dissolution of the marriage between Princess Marigat and Prince Louis had not yet faded, but the news that the Queen intended to choose another husband for the princess spread in high society, and even some new nobles were attracted by the news.

Several brothels in London that were once bustling with customers suddenly saw a decline in business. After all, when the princess was choosing a husband, the hypocritical nobles began to care about their reputation.

Even if the princess herself has no such wish, the heads of the various families who control the family's financial power will not miss the opportunity to marry a princess of royal blood, not to mention that the princess is so charming and stunning and comes with a large dowry and a large fiefdom.

"Your Highness, please enjoy your meal." Tini picked up the portraits scattered on the ground one by one and stacked them neatly on one side.

Margaret lowered her eyes and looked at the stack of portraits, feeling extremely impatient.

Some time ago, the Queen helped her to dissolve her marriage. She felt that the sword of Damocles hanging over her head had finally fallen, and she no longer had to be a sudden cannon fodder in the plot.

As a result, she had only been free for a few days when her sister, the queen who did not care about state affairs, suddenly brought a lot of portraits and said that she wanted to choose a new husband for her, thus fulfilling her father's dying wish.

Margaret: …………

It’s over. What should I do if I accidentally increase the favorability too much?

As if she could see the difficulty on her face, Queen Victoria held her sister's hand tightly and gently explained her own arrangements, even showing her the wedding dowry her ex-mother-in-law had given her. The gist of it was that she only needed to happily choose someone she liked, and she didn't have to worry about the rest. Everything was ready, except for the person she liked.

How could she not worry? Margaret pretended to be well-behaved and sent her sister away, but her expression changed immediately.

Looking at the portraits carefully one by one, Margaret asked 003 in her mind about the families behind these candidates and their marital status.

Sure enough, none of them are good.

It's no surprise that these people were chosen by her brother-in-law, Prince Albert. They are basically all old aristocrats who are close to his side. There are few new aristocrats and some of them are ugly.

The eldest son of the Marquis of Greenville will inherit his title, but the second son, who has already grown up, must find another way out. He originally planned to let the second son marry a female heiress of the title, and then add the property he gave to the second son, so that the second son would not be forced to stay away from the upper class.

But at this moment, the news suddenly came that Princess Marigold was looking for a new husband. The Marquis immediately stopped his plan to meet his daughter-in-law and took his second son, who was playing in the hunting ground, back home.

Glancing at his son's handsome face, the Marquis nodded with satisfaction. This boy has had many female confidantes since he became an adult, all thanks to his handsome face that he inherited from his wife.

Clearing his throat, the Marquis asked his son to immediately cut off all the women around him. If there were any rumors about him in the circle before the princess's final husband was decided, he should prepare to go to the battlefield and win a title for himself.

The Marquis also found a famous doctor and asked him to take good care of Theodore's handsome face. After all, this was his son's most attractive face.

Recently, the famous tailors in London have been extremely busy. The orders have been pouring in like snowflakes and they are unable to handle them all. In particular, the clothes for each noble family must be unique and cannot be repeated, which really makes the tailors rack their brains.

The young apprentice who was helping the teacher was secretly curious. Usually, there were more orders from young ladies, but recently most of the orders they received were for men.

Those who were well-informed shook their heads in a pretentious manner, saying that these noble old men were just like prostitutes on the street, dressing themselves up beautifully so that people could choose them.

After being forced to attend one dance after another, Margaret felt that she had prom stress syndrome and felt pain in her heels whenever she heard dance music.

"Host, why don't you find someone you like to deal with? According to the current situation, Queen Victoria will definitely find a new husband for you, and Prince Albert seems to use you as a bargaining chip to win over the old nobles." 003 looked at the host who was paralyzed on the bed with some confusion.

Margaret, who had changed into a soft silk pajamas, played with her slender fingers: "003, do you remember that I was tied up because my soul didn't fit in that time and space? That's right, that was my second life."

Her eyes gradually wandered, trying hard to dig out the past events hidden deep in her memory.

"It is generally believed that Europe at that time was a society where sexually transmitted diseases were rampant. According to conservative estimates, at least one-fifth of the population in London was infected with syphilis, not including other sexually transmitted diseases. I don't want to have a future husband who washes his genitals with mercury in the future."

There was a gleam of contempt and disgust in Margaret's light purple eyes.

"Then the host can be raised by playing with him, just like in the last life. It would be nice to raise a clean and young one." 003 suggested.

"Oh." She snorted and laughed. "I never dare to overestimate human nature. In the last world, monogamy was a common understanding of people. If Tong Muxin really made a mistake, I would be standing on the moral high ground. Besides, at worst, I can just get a divorce. After all, it's hard to find a three-legged frog, but there are two-legged men everywhere. I have the freedom to choose."

"But now, marriage is not a matter between two people, but a matter between the royal family and the nobility. The original owner's father and sister loved the original owner so much, but after learning that Louis was a homosexual, they did not let the two of them end their marriage."

"I'm raising a little boy now, but I can't guarantee that he won't find a lover in his life. You know, the general perception among the nobles nowadays is that marriage is not for some damn love, but for the protection and accumulation of family wealth. I don't know how many families behind the blind date candidates I've met these days are waiting for my rich dowry to save their empty titles."

Turning over on the soft bed, she fiddled with the curtains around her with her hands, resting her hands on her chin, her golden curls cascading down from her cheeks.

"The most important thing is," she chuckled, recalling a popular saying in later generations, "not getting married and having children is the best way to stay safe. Having sex with someone in this time and space is life-threatening, especially since the people I'm going to marry are all a bunch of hypocritical, pretentious nobles."

Although she is pretty, who can guarantee that her future husband will not be bored with this face for the rest of his life? Even if he really loves her for the rest of his life, as long as he goes to bed with a prostitute when he goes out for social events, he will be at risk of infection. After all, this is just like Chinese people drinking during social events, which is a normal behavior.

The lowered eyes concealed the harsh coldness, so it was better to find an ending that was easy to control. If there was really a sign of something wrong, I would just send him to see God, and then pretend to be in true love and remain a widow for him.

Anyway, isn't her love-minded sister the one who believes in love the most?
