30, break the contract(2/2)
"We are talking about your daughter's upcoming marriage." Lucien replied immediately, "When are you going to post a notice? I see poor Albert can't wait."
In France in this era, before getting married, the newlyweds would post notices in a special place for ten days, informing the public, and asking for opinions about the newlyweds (of course, it is likely to be just a formality). After ten days, if there is no negative news, the two will enter the church and start a happy or unfortunate marriage - Lucien is actually asking Eugenie and Albert when the wedding will be held.
However, beyond his expectations, the Baron's face sank slightly, "Marriage news? What kind of marriage news? I don't remember who my daughter is engaged to now."
"Huh?" Not only Lucien, but also other guests who could hear him raised their heads in surprise.
Nowadays, although rumors in the social circle have always been flying everywhere, the news that the two families are going to marry each other has been spread for so long and have received various unofficial confirmations, so everyone thinks that this is a foregone conclusion, and what they lack is just when will it be announced.
However, at this moment, Baron Dongrall denied the existence of the engagement in such a public occasion, which was almost a breach of the contract.
Is something wrong? Or is there something else? Almost everyone is thinking in secret.
But no matter what, the Baron's actions will definitely deteriorate his relationship with Marshal Marsef's family, after all, this is almost an offense to the other party's dignity.
Suddenly, people looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.
"You...you mean, don't you plan to marry your daughter to Albert Marsev?" Luci calmed down and asked again.
Now, the entire living room was almost silent, and people were staring at Baron Dongral in a daze, waiting for themselves to get first-hand news from a big social news.
Baron Dongrale did not disappoint them, he sneered calmly.
"Albert is a lovely young man. If you want to ask me if I would like to let him be my son-in-law or not, of course I do. However, the Marsef and my family have not yet negotiated in depth, so I am not sure whether Albert is willing to marry my daughter. The rumors about them are a conjecture, not a fact." His smile was dry, which made people feel a little uncomfortable when they saw it. "Of course, if my daughter is interested in Albert, then there is no need to say that I will do anything to fight for such a son-in-law. Daughter, what do you think?"
"Father, I am your daughter. You have given me everything. You have the right to marry me to anyone. I don't want my likes and dislikes to interfere with your judgment." Eugenie still had a stern face and replied coldly as if she was a mechanical one. "I only follow your orders. Please choose for me."
"Oh..." Suddenly, all kinds of exclamations rushed from the corner of the living room.
Although the Baron's words were seemingly supportive, they had clearly shown that they did not want to enter into a marriage contract with Marshal Marsef's family. Miss Eugenie did not seem to have to marry Albert, which means... the marriage has been put on hold.
This is the big news that everyone is looking forward to.
What exactly happened?
What will happen next?
No one knew, but certainly, the Marsev family was already embarrassed in it.
In the midst of a commotion, Charles turned his head and looked at Albert, whose face was already red and white, and he didn't know what to say.
