Chapter 1
Chapter 1
I swear to the Almighty Father, Son and Holy Spirit, if I knew that Helena's father, Count Chartres, would return in the middle of the ball, even if Helena's beauty is comparable to Helen who destroyed Troy, I would Never accept her invitation to sneak into her bedroom at nine o'clock at night.
However, things happened so unbelievably. On the way to another ball, Earl Chartre suddenly found that he forgot to bring the diamond necklace that he wanted to give to Viscountess Loyal—a damn diamond necklace!So the old man, who was thinking of being courteous, asked the coachman to turn the carriage and go back to his home. At this time, the talkative manservant—I doubt very much because he saw me when I was teasing the maids the day before— —Helena was so unwell to the earl that she didn't even eat dinner.In order to show his love for his daughter, the Earl went to Helena's room in person.
Well, the next scene I believe you can imagine what it is like without my narration.Being chased by the Earl, I jumped out of the window on the second floor in a state of embarrassment, while the furious Earl yelled from behind, calling for the servant to bring his shotgun.
The earl became a joke among the entire Württemberg nobles, but not because Helena might lose his dream of marrying the next generation of Württemberg Grand Duke, but because the way he handled this matter was too much. Disgraceful, not in keeping with the aristocratic style at all - after failing to catch me and "beating me half to death", he went to the palace and cried to the Grand Duke of Württemberg, demanding that "that kid be deprived of his title and exiled to Africa."
The Grand Duke of Württemberg didn't care about this, but in order to appease the count, he decided that I should be punished—"Okay, let that kid go to the countryside! For three years, he is not allowed to step into Ludwig's house." Hillsborough!"
This is quite a serious punishment - in the Grand Duchy of Württemberg in 1769, except for the prosperous Ludwigsburg - the origin of my name -, the rest of the places were basically only serfs who could not eat enough It would be worse than death if the nobles from other provinces could only live in that kind of place!
However, the Grand Duke only said "he is not allowed to step into Ludwigsburg", but he didn't say that I was not allowed to go to places like Paris and London, let alone that I was not allowed to travel to other countries!
So Earl Chartres was actually very dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.
And the reason why the Grand Duke issued such a gentle order is also very simple-my mother, Viscountess Edmund, who was famous for her elegance and beauty when she was young, is still considered his favor.
Oh, by the way, let me formally introduce myself——Ludwig Francaimon Edmund Viscount, nominally the son of the deceased Viscount Edmund, actually the Duke of Württemberg Karl O. One of Root's sons...
Well, that's right, the Grand Duke knows about it, the Viscountess knows it, I know it, and the deceased Viscount Edmund knows it too.
In fact, if he hadn't married my mother, Viscount Edmund would have been an unknown knight until his death.
The king is the father of the people, and the people should love him as they love God—and the Grand Duke of Württemberg himself is the father of many people.
He has six legal sons alone, and he will give a middle name to the illegitimate children who cannot be recognized by him. There are five such Frankemons who have titles as far as I know. , there are thirteen without titles. As for those whose status is so low that they cannot appear in the aristocratic circle, the Grand Duke himself may not remember how many there are.
So with the gift of the Grand Duke, I can happily prepare to go to other places to play.
However, maybe even the Grand Duke never expected that the Earl of Chartres actually found a way to punish me—he actually had someone kidnap me as a slave trader on the way to the inn!
Then his people treated me as a civilian, and sold me to the Grand Duke’s army as a mercenary hired by the British along with other civilian men they robbed, and just sent me to a wild North America British Georgia Colony!
