The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 296 The Palace Ball

After a period of training, it is almost the same as a chief inspector, and it is time to set off. However, before he left, Marin held a court ball of a territorial nature, and invited nobles and noble ladies from various households in the territory to attend.

Since Albert chose to be the governor of the American colonies, it became an important thing to choose a local noble lady as his fiancee.

Of course, in addition to Albert, Marin also has Schwartz, a big problem. Schwartz is 30 years old and single. Mainly, there are no suitable noble ladies in East Frisian territory. After all, Marin killed most of the East Frisian nobles in order to avoid future troubles, leaving only a few larger nobles such as Geoffrey. It's a pity that Jeffrey is a fat daughter, and he is so dependent on Kohler. Therefore, it seems very difficult for Schwartz to find a beautiful noble lady...

So Marin thought of the nobles of Oldenburg and Schleswig. Marin occupied these two countries and did not kill the nobles of these two countries. As long as he did not raise troops to resist, Marin would at most deprive him of the management rights of his manor, but the income of the manor was still distributed according to the previous standard. Therefore, the quality of life of those nobles did not decline in the slightest.

Right now, Las Vegas has not been fully built, and those nobles, whether they are reused or not, basically still live in their own country.

So, Marin took this opportunity to call a month ago, inviting nobles in the territory to bring their daughters. Of course, mainly the baronial titles.

There are a total of 27 barons in the two countries, whether they have fiefs or no fiefs, except for the two baron families who belong to the Oldenburg family's diehard loyalists, the other 25 families have all been invited.

Marin made no secret that this was for Schwartz and Albert to choose a fiancée. And hinted that those marginalized families, if they have daughters or nieces, are attracted by Schwartz or Albert, they will return to the ruling class. After all, whether it is Schwartz, who holds military power, or his younger brother Albert, they are enough to protect them.

As for the Munster area, Marin could not find any traditional noble lady. why? Because Münster is a bishopric, they are all priests. Clergy, no matter how powerful, had no legitimate children. Do you want the priests to bring illegitimate daughters here? As for the 80 church knights, not only did they fall short of the baron's standard. Even if it is achieved, Marin will not invite it. Because, I just deprived them of their land in the North Münster area.

Therefore, if you want to find traditional nobles, you can only go to the two secular vassal states with a long history of Oldenburg and Schleswig.

Once the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of the nobles of Oldenburg and Schleswig. Especially those baron families who lost their power, almost regarded this dance as a life-saving straw.

As a result, the daughters or nieces of these family patriarchs, as long as they were not married, pulled them all out and rode the shock-absorbing carriage made by Marin to Aurich.

Since he thought of the method of covering the city gate with tinplate, Marin was fortunate to have tinned the shock-absorbing springs used for shock-absorbing carriages to become tin-plate springs. In this case, the rust resistance of the spring is much better, and the service life is greatly extended.

Although Marin deprived 16 of the 25 barons of power, he did not treat them badly, and there was a limited supply of delicious food. Shock-absorbing carriages were also sent to each family.

This time, Aurich held a national ball for high-level nobles for the first time, blowing up all 25 traditional baron families. Even the only three count families in the Principality of Schleswig sent people to participate. Of course, the counts of the Principality of Schleswig are not counts with real power, but honorary ones. Their territory is not much larger than that of a baron. Moreover, one has also been hosted.

Moreover, among the three earl families of the Principality of Schleswig, there is the Upson family of the former Danish Prime Minister Mikel Upson.

This time, he heard that Marin was going to choose a wife for Schwartz and Albert. As the minister of the Principality of Schleswig, he rushed over without hesitation with his youngest daughter Irene to attend the dance. As for the security of the Principality of Schleswig, it was naturally handed over to Woolf Esbrand.

Mikel knew that he was getting old and that he had a few years to live. If he is alive, he can take advantage of Marin's current lack of government talents and serve as the palace minister of the Principality of Schleswig for a few years. But once he died, his two sons were very ordinary. Therefore, the Upson family also needs strong in-laws and allies. And this time, Schwartz and Albert, who chose wives, are powerful figures who can shelter the Upson family. Therefore, Mikel did not hesitate to bring his best young daughter, Erin, to Aurich to attend the dance.

For this dance, Marin also took great pains. In order to have a suitable tune, Marin directly gave Beethoven's world famous song "To Alice" to the cottage. However, the sly Marin renamed "To Alice" to "To Angela", which made Angela very happy, and took the initiative a lot at night.

Then, Marin "thinks like a spring", and shamelessly copied the famous waltz "Blue Danube". Of course, when he was in the cottage, Da Vinci was arrested again. Marin was in charge of humming there, and Da Vinci labored to use the simple staves that Marin taught him to listen and restore the score there. Then, two world-famous songs came out, both of which are very suitable as dubbing for aristocratic balls. Moreover, the song "To Angela" ("To Alice") also earned Marin the title of "Amorous Duke" and became the male protagonist in a love story...

Although there is no piano performance, Da Vinci is a master of music. After slight changes, some existing instruments have been used to greatly restore the style of world famous songs.

When the banquet was over and the dance started, and moving music played in the hall of the palace, many people even forgot to dance and inquired about "what song is this"...

The first piece, of course, is "To Angela" by Marin "'composed' for Angela (really shameless)." Wonderful music makes people addicted to it. And with the explanation of "The Good Man", after everyone learned that this was a song "created" by Marin specially for Angela, many noble girls looked at Angela, full of envy and jealousy...

Indeed, not only was Marin able to fight wars, conquered a huge territory, and became a great nobleman, he was also so versatile. A military general, who actually composes famous songs and makes others live?

The two world-famous songs were played several times, and everyone came to reminisce from the sound of nature, and then began to dance...

This dance has a clear purpose. Therefore, dozens of noble ladies who were present gathered around Schwartz and Albert and invited them to dance.

Albert is better, because he often receives the noble education of Mrs. Mary, but he is generous. On the other hand, Schwartz is as shy as a big boy. When dancing, he is more shy than girls. He doesn't know where to put his hands...

The final result surprised Marin a little. why? Because Schwartz and Albert both fell in love with Mikel's youngest daughter, 18-year-old Erin Upson.

However, Mikel took the initiative to help her daughter choose Schwartz as her husband, and Erin agreed...

Why? This is Mikel's old hot spot. Mikel knew very well that although Albert was a prince, he was just a prince without inheritance rights. Even if Caesar died, Angela did not give birth to any other heirs, and it would not be his turn to succeed Albert, who was the youngest. Therefore, Prince Albert is not affordable.

And Schwartz is different, he is Marin's number one confidant, Marin's most powerful man. Mixing with Schwartz, the Upson family will never be worse. Therefore, Mikel decisively chose Schwartz as his son-in-law.

Albert was a little disappointed, but it wasn't like he didn't marry Erin. Because, he is also very optimistic about another girl named Maria Gust, the daughter of a baron family that lost power in the county of Oldenburg. The reason why Irene was chosen before was mainly because Irene's father Mikel was the minister of palace of the Duchy of Schleswig and an earl. This identity gives Irene extra points. However, Mikel chose Schwartz, and Albert couldn't help it. So Albert chose Maria Gust. George, Baron Gust, jumped with joy when he heard that his daughter had been spotted by Prince Albert. Because, as long as their family hugs Albert's thigh, they will no longer be marginalized...

After a dance, Marin achieved his goal and was very happy. Old Hoffman and Lady Mary were also very happy. Although Miss Gust was only from a baronial family, she was so beautiful that she almost caught up with Angela. Also, education and knowledge are very good. Moreover, Kohler's intelligence organization once also investigated the Gust family and found that this family is not close to the Oldenburg family and can be used. As for Miss Gust, she had a good reputation from childhood and had no romantic affairs.

After the ball, the Hoffman family and the Gust family held a grand engagement ceremony, and then Albert took a boat to the twin islands to be the governor. Anyway, Albert is only 20 years old, and Miss Gust is not even 17 years old. Marin plans to hold their wedding in two years.

On Schwartz's side, Schwartz is not too young, and Irene Upson is an adult, but he can hold a wedding soon. But the premise is that Schwartz's father, Lange Sr., is invited back to Europe from the coal mines on Cape Breton Island for his son's wedding...
