Chapter 72 The Princess Who Was Cannon Fodder in the Danmei Novel 22
At an open-air ball hosted by Mrs. Grey, Gerbert nervously pulled at his coat.
"Hey, don't be nervous, little boy." There was a gleam of mischief in Theodore's eyes. He didn't expect that his nerdy brother was also attracted to her.
He glared at the love veteran beside him. This second brother had liked to tease him since he was a child. Thinking of the girl he would meet soon, Gerbert kept turning the buttons on the hem of his clothes.
"Hey, Gerbert, you have to take the initiative when treating a girl you like. Do you need me to teach you a few tricks?" Theodore drank the wine in his hand and teased his younger brother.
Before they heard the answer, the two brothers saw the noisy crowd in front of them naturally separate, and then the nobles around them whispered about how Princess Margaret had come today as well.
Oh? It seems that my brother's crush is a bit difficult to deal with. Even the princess who rarely attends balls has condescended to come.
Theodore looked at his silly brother with sympathy, handed the wine glass to the waiter beside him, and then went to hunt for beauty among the flowers.
"Oh, the honorable Princess Margaret, I didn't expect you to come today?" Duchess Grey hurried over holding up her gorgeous skirt to greet the distinguished guest.
Holding Darcy's arm, Margaret opened her folding fan, covered her mouth with it, and smiled sweetly: "Oh? I remember that Darcy and I were both written on the invitation sent by the Duchess. Why doesn't the lady welcome me?"
"Your Highness, what are you talking about? Your beautiful face really adds a lot of color to my ball." Mrs. Grey smiled and led the way, the ruby pendant on her chest was very dazzling. "But everyone in London knows that Your Highness rarely attends banquets. This time, I will have the capital to show off for a while."
Margaret waved her palace fan reservedly, smiling without saying a word.
When Mrs. Grey caught a glimpse of the girl following quietly behind the princess, her eyes lit up. She was tall, pretty, and virtuous. This must be Earl Darcy's sister of marriageable age.
Thinking of her unmarried brother, Mrs. Grey asked tentatively, "Who is this girl who looks so amiable at first glance?"
Margaret let go of her husband's hand and hugged Georgiana to her: "This is Georgiana, Georgiana, this is the Duchess of Grey."
Georgiana lifted her skirt, lowered her head and smiled shyly: "I have met Mrs. Green."
"Oh my." The Duchess smiled and quickly helped the lady in front of her up, praising her nonstop. "Look, where did this lady who I've never seen before come from? It turns out that she was brought up by the princess. She is indeed very beautiful and dignified."
She turned her eyes and looked at Darcy who was silent beside her: "My Lord, I wonder if your sister has made an engagement yet?"
Margaret's brows twitched slightly, and she thought of the unlearned younger brother of the other family. She put away the fan in a flash, and a cold smile filled her purple eyes.
"Not yet. The Earl has only one sister, so he must be very selective in choosing the right person to marry. If the Duchess knows any young, talented, and self-disciplined young talent, please introduce him to us!"
Margaret emphasized the words "clean and talented".
The Duchess smiled awkwardly: "Yes, I only have one sister, so she must be very precious. I have to choose her carefully."
Everyone in the dance floor was secretly inquiring here, and the news that Duke Darcy's only sister was attending a social ball in London spread like wildfire the day after Georgiana arrived in London.
The nobles who had young men of marriageable age in their families all had their eyes on the matter. Not to mention the obvious benefits of becoming a relative of the princess, just based on Earl Darcy's several plantations in America, Miss Georgeanna would certainly have a lot of dowry.
Looking at his competitors who were ready to make a move, Gerbert secretly encouraged himself in his heart. When the dance music started, he walked solemnly to the person he loved, bowed, and smiled softly: "Can I invite you to dance?"
Seeing the gleam of approval in her sister-in-law's eyes, Georgeanna knew that this was the candidate chosen by her family. She put her hand in the young man's hand, and the two of them slid into the dance floor to the music.
Seeing that someone seemed to be trying to chat with his wife, Earl Darcy's face turned as dark as iron. Now he was thankful for the umpteenth time that his wife did not like socializing. Otherwise, with the frequency of balls in London, who knows how many people would want to poach him.
Margaret took the initiative to hold Darcy, who was filled with jealousy, and brought him to the dance floor under his surprised gaze. Well, let's not waste the beautiful moonlight tonight!
On the other side of the dance floor, Gerbert felt the endless warmth coming from the palm of his beloved's hand. As her toes spun and her skirt fluttered, he felt his heart was about to soar.
George Anna was full of doubts. Why was this man looking around and not saying a word? Was he also forced into a blind date?
Then, she saw the other person's face getting redder and redder, like ripe red cherries on a tree. It was extremely funny.
She couldn't help laughing, she was shaking with laughter, well, my sister-in-law was right in her investigation, this person is still a virgin, it's really rare.
If you must find someone to marry, it would be good to find someone who is clean both physically and mentally.
Confusedly looking at the laughing girl in front of him, Gerbert laughed along with her.
When Georgiana stopped laughing, she asked softly, "Is Oxford University beautiful? I went to Oxfordshire last time."
"I know." Gerbert's reserved expression relaxed, and he smiled: "The scenery of Kenning Village is pretty good."
"Hmm?" A hint of surprise flashed across Georgena's eyes, and she opened her teeth slightly: "Have we met before?"
"Yeah." Gerbert's face was gentle when he mentioned their first encounter. "Do you remember the two people you helped on the path in Kenning Village?"
"Are you one of those two men?" Those two men were in a very miserable state. How could the son of a marquis be so miserable?
Understanding the girl's confusion, Gerbert smiled bitterly and said, "That time, I heard that the refugees near Kenning Village had a treasure passed down from the French royal family. My friend and I went there with great interest, only to find out that it was a scam. However, the treasure was accidentally broken during the dispute, so they took all the valuables from us and ran away."
"then……"
"And then you met me." Georgiana took over his words, staring at the clear stupidity in the young man's eyes. She was a little skeptical, wondering if this IQ could be hereditary.
"Well, then I followed you to Kenning Village. You were so small, but you went to Kenning Village alone with only a few followers to discuss business with the famous weaving lady." At that moment, Georgeanna seemed to be glowing in his heart.
After being sent back to the city, he drew the family crest on the carriage. After much inquiry, he realized that the girl he met should be the only young lady waiting to get married in the newly aristocratic Darcy family in recent years.
Afterwards, he wrote a long letter to his father, which led to the Marquis of Greenville inviting Darcy to a dinner.
After all, it is not too late to get married. By the time that silly boy realizes what is happening, Miss George Anna will probably have already married someone else.
With his experience as a learner, Lord Greenwell combed his beard and recalled his dissolute youth.
Alas, I am indeed old.
