According to the schedule, Su Yun was indeed going to the palace that day.
The country where the Syracuse family lives is a standard constitutional monarchy. The king has supreme status but does not touch administrative and military power. The people love the royal family, and the royal family represents the image of this country in the world.
The titles of nobility in this country are divided into duke, marquis, earl, viscount and baron from top to bottom. The current head of Syracuse, Su Yun, is the duke. This shows how long-standing and powerful this family is.
...But there is no need to prove this point, the identities chosen by the little plagues basically follow this standard.
Su Yun's paternal side is the Syracuse family, and his maternal side is the Rost family. Syracuse is needless to say, it is an old item made by Jasmine thousands of years ago, while Rost is a new elite in the past hundred years, making fortunes from war. The main base of the Rost family is also on another continent across the sea, which is a newly emerging country, and it is also where Flora will go after being "expelled".
The Syracuse family is very arrogant. Although Jasmine is secretly controlling it, this family looks down on the upstarts. At the beginning, they had no intention of marrying with Rossed. Su Yun's mother had to rely on her son to marry into the ancient family.
It’s useless to say a thousand words. The essence is that Su Yun’s identity has the iconic black hair and silver eyes.
Since the successful marriage between the two families, the main branches of the two veins have been connected together by marriage, and together they have created a terrifying behemoth. Now that Su Yun is the head of this family, his influence can no longer be measured by money.
"…This banquet will be hosted by the two princesses, and the king and queen will also attend. His Majesty the King has not been in good health over the past year. The first in line to be crown prince is our eldest princess, the younger princess is second, the eldest princess's son is third, and the prince of another branch is fourth."
The old butler sat in the co-pilot seat, chattering to the two young masters about the members of the current royal family.
Theresa kept nodding, and the snow-white bow tie on her neck twitched with his movements. She was very well-behaved and cute, but Jasmine was not so interested in the royal family. He swung his legs, looked at the scenery outside the car window, and asked a question that was very appropriate for his status.
"There won't be a new stepmother at this party, right?"
Old housekeeper: “…”
The old butler looked for help at Su Yun, who was sitting in the middle of the back seat.
Su Yun had no choice but to press Jasmine's crimson head:
"No, how dare I remarry when you are here?"
Jasmine was very into the role, and at this moment she showed a mature smile: "There is only one father, and there are not enough for the six of us to share. I don't want another stepmother to compete with me."
Su Yun: “…”
Su Yun pressed his head again: "You still have a big brother."
Jasmine said resentfully: "Hasn't he been driven away?"
The old housekeeper looked over in panic. Su Yun didn't know how to act out this part for a moment, so he could only be vague: "That's also your eldest brother."
Jasmine: “Hmph.”
For a moment, the atmosphere in the carriage fell into dead silence, until Theresa pulled Su Yun's sleeve and said, "Father, can I recite a poem to you?"
The old housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief silently, and Su Yun did the same: "Okay, I will listen carefully."

"…You are so beautiful! Your body is like a pure white marble statue on a silver pedestal. It makes you feel like you are in a garden of white doves and lilies. It is an ivory tower with silver and white craftsmanship. There is nothing in the world that can compare to your white body and black hair."
This piece of poetry is taken from a play by a poet in his early years. It describes a princess who turned from love to hate and finally cut off her lover's head. All the above sentences come from the princess's confession to her lover's corpse and head. The emotions contained in it are hard to describe in words.
In a way, the princess's love is puzzling.
The tender child's voice recited the crazy verses with emotion. Logically speaking, the clear and pious voice should not match the content of the poem, but Theresa's performance was particularly vivid, as if the scene was recreated and the princess was possessed.
Su Yun: “…”
Jasmine turned her head away and sneered. The old housekeeper understood the allusion but looked dazed. However, the driver escaped because he didn't understand it.
After Theresa finished reciting a paragraph, she looked at Su Yun expectantly. Su Yun immediately praised her: "You recited very well, but why did Theresa choose this paragraph? I thought you would choose some theological texts."
Teresa smiled happily because of Father God's praise: "I have memorized all the theological books. I think these feelings are the same. Whether it is a person praying to God or a princess confessing to her lover, they are all equally sincere and passionate. It's just that the princess is too narrow-minded. Her interpretation of love is incorrect."
Su Yun: "So what does Theresa think the princess should do?"
Theresa thought about it and said seriously: "The princess should dedicate everything she has to the saint, such as letting the saint eat her flesh and blood."
Su Yun: "...Okay."
General feeling
Theresa is no longer the same as before, probably because of her new identity.
At this time, their vehicle had arrived at the destination, and this thrilling topic naturally ended. Su Yun got out of the car holding Theresa, while Jasmine jumped out of the door and reached out to grab the hem of Father God's clothes.
The palace where the party took place is a historic royal asset with green grass outside the ancient castle.
Su Yun brought the two children into an open-air garden. The first people they saw were the royal family, followed by the nobles and politicians.
Throughout history, gatherings between the powerful and the wealthy have been as varied as wars. After meeting the king's family, Su Yun found a terrace where he could see Theresa and Jasmine not far away - children also have their social places, and children of different ages belong to different circles.
The eldest princess has been married for a long time. Her eldest son is about five years old this year and is particularly conspicuous among a group of children. However, what Su Yun cares about most are his two little plagues. Theresa is as always, sitting obediently on the snow-white railing, her green eyes and the emerald green grass complement each other. Jasmine is not so quiet. He thinks the gathering of the cubs is boring, so he leans on the railing next to Theresa and stares blankly.
"They really are like a group of angels, aren't they?"
A gentle voice sounded behind Su Yun. Su Yun turned around and saw the queen and several noble ladies.
Su Yun leaned forward slightly: "Your Highness."
The queen said sentimentally, "Children grow up in the blink of an eye. Looking at them, I have an illusion that my two little princesses are also one of them. They should be holding the dolls I gave them and playing house, laughing all day long, and not knowing how to be sad."
All the ladies immediately agreed, and the atmosphere was very good for a while.
Su Yun kept smiling and listening. At this time, the queen asked gently, "Your Excellency the Duke, I remember that your eldest son is almost twenty years old? I also watched this child grow up."
Su Yun: "Yes, he is gaining experience overseas."
"Boys always have to go through some trials before they can become men." The queen smiled softly and hinted, "So, girls of his age have grown up. Youth is really the most beautiful time in life, isn't it?"
Su Yun understood. It turned out that these were the ladies who were going to arrange a blind date for Flora. It was rare that they had invited the Queen. But the problem was... Flora had run away from home to change the script. In addition, the housekeeper firmly believed that family disgrace should not be made public. These ladies did not know that the young man of the Syracuse family was a
Nian Junjie had already come out as gay, and had no chance of ever meeting the noble lady.
Su Yun said against his will: "...You are right."
Queen: "May I ask...why didn't your eldest son finish college at our Royal Academy?"
Su Yun racked his brains and finally came up with an excuse in a short time: "The Rossde family's assets are all overseas. I plan to let this child inherit them. If possible, I hope he can find a partner there."
The noble ladies looked at each other in bewilderment. No one had expected that the Duke of Syracuse had no intention of marrying among the old nobles. The country across the sea only had a group of nouveau riche, and he actually wanted his eldest son to marry with that group of nouveau riche... Did this mean he wanted to give up on the eldest son?
Seeing that the blind date was hopeless, the ladies withdrew gracefully, secretly complaining that the Syracuse family had no hostess and it was inconvenient to even check on the situation.
Su Yun watched the ladies leave. When he thought that similar scenes would be repeated at least six times, he suddenly felt sick.

After the party, Su Yun finally got away from the crowd and returned to the car, and he and his two creations breathed a sigh of relief.
Jasmine frowned her delicate little eyebrows: "Father, this kind of party is too boring, can I accompany you all the time next time? I don't want to be with those cubs."
Theresa didn't raise any objections, but her face looked gloomy, and it was obvious that she was not used to being in situations with human cubs.
Su Yun looked a little distressed: "Okay, I won't bring you here next time... How about we go horseback riding next?"
Jasmine smiled and rubbed Su Yun softly: "I want to ride a horse with my father!"
Theresa's eyes lit up as well: "Father... can I too... join us..."
Su Yun covered his chest and said, "Of course, we will do it together."
At this time, the old butler also returned to the co-pilot seat. He turned and looked at Su Yun, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Su Yun: "What's wrong?"
The old butler: "Master, I just got the news... the fourth young master..."
The fourth in reverse order is Anita. Logically, this child should be in public school now. Did he burn down the school?!
Su Yun was mentally prepared: "What did he do?"
The old butler lowered his head and said, "The Fourth Young Master... went to make a movie. The finished film has been sold. This is my fault, but I have bought out all the sources of the film and will never let the film be released."
Filming? Although filming was a new thing, was it not respectable for a big family to go and make a film?
Su Yun thought about it and suddenly realized: "What is he filming?!"
Old housekeeper: “…”
The old housekeeper was about to cry: "...erotic movie."
Su Yun: “…”
Great, another son doesn’t have to go on a blind date with a noble lady.
The author has something to say: Don't worry, the seven sons don't need to go on blind dates anymore. The eldest is out and the fourth is in the adult industry. Let's look forward to the other five.

From "Salome", the yandere grandmother, these sentences are translated very inaccurately and beautifully, just to let everyone feel the taste.
The royal family is basically all bullshit, just a big background, we don’t do any research.
