Before the two of them could think about it, the melodious music had been played again, Charles looked at Charlotte, gestured for her to rest first, then bowed slightly, gently took Lola's hand, and slowly walked her onto the dance floor.

Anyway, the two of them now have a request from the big banker, and it is necessary to maintain some proper etiquette.

Lola still ignored Charlotte who was standing beside Charles, didn't even say hello, just nodded indifferently, and then turned around and followed Charles, leaving only Charlotte who was extremely unhappy in her heart.

Charlotte looked at the backs of the two departing and frowned rarely.

She was not so bored as to be jealous of Charles dancing with a girl, but she was disgusted by the attitude of the Baron de Beauvang family in front of the Tréville family. This disgust is magnified by the fact that there is no revenge for the time being. If she knew now that there was a way to ruin the family, she would not hesitate to do it.

Sooner or later, your whole family will die. After indifferently drinking a glass of wine provided by the host of the banquet, she thought to herself.

Charles, of course, couldn't feel Charlotte's thoughts at this time, and he led Lola onto the dance floor, Lola's hands were smooth and cold, as if there was not ordinary blood flowing in her veins. Although she still has no expression, she is as proud as a queen, and with her delicate face, she is indeed like a delicate doll.

Charles wrapped his arms around her waist and began to dance to the rhythm of a soft waltz.

Although her face was stiff, Lola's limbs were surprisingly light. She moved gracefully across the dance floor to match Charles' dance steps, and her luxurious dress was attached. The girl's demeanor is perfectly displayed.

- But he was still expressionless.

Not only was her face still as cold as ice, but Charles, who was in contact with her skin, could feel it, and the girl's heart did not fluctuate at all, and her breathing and heartbeat were as usual.

Yes, the event didn't touch her at all, and dancing with the charr didn't make her particularly happy, she just watched the qiē calmly.

This fact made Charles feel a little disappointed in his heart, though he didn't expect anything to happen to the eldest lady. But when he found out that she wanted to dance with Charles, he couldn't help but feel a little fluttering in addition to his surprise.

In addition to a slight frustration, he couldn't help but be more curious. What is this eldest lady running over and pulling him to dance with?

"You don't seem excited about today?" Driven by curiosity, he whispered in Lola's ear.

"Excited? Why get excited? Lola replied coldly, moving her feet slightly to match Charles's movements.

"If you're not happy, then why would you want me to be your dance partner? I guess you're not just joking with us, are you? Charles asked leisurely.

"It's not for kidding. Mr. Lola's tone was still unfazed. Anyway, if you have to choose, it's better to choose you than someone else. At least you're kind of a human ......."

It's kind of a person! Is this really complimenting me? Or is it mocking?? After hearing her answer, Charles couldn't help but feel slightly stunned.

However, he carefully looked at the other party's expression, but he didn't find much ridicule. It seems that in the eyes of this young lady, this is already a rare compliment?

"Thank you for the compliment, then." After a moment of silence, Charles reluctantly spoke.

"I really don't usually praise people." Lola replied, "Of course." You won't be honored either. ”

Her attitude was indecipherable, whether she was happy or angry, which made Charles a little unpredictable. So he stopped talking, and only thought about finishing the song as best he could, and then finding an excuse to go off.

However, Lola seemed to be a little talkative, and asked Charles again, "You seem to be in trouble lately?" ”

"Huh?"

"Judging from your expression, it seems that you have been in a lot of trouble recently...... "The corners of Lola's mouth seemed to move slightly, showing a different expression from just now for the first time, "That's right, as a busy person with a promising future, if there is nothing troublesome, how can you wronged yourself to participate in such a boring banquet?" ”

"That's how you feel about the events you host at home?" Charles was noncommittal to her question, but asked rhetorically.

"It's not just me, my dad sees it that way, so he almost never goes out of the arena himself – of course, you can also understand that he doesn't have confidence in his dancing skills." Lola's smile suddenly became a little thicker, "Of course, my brother is enjoying it......"

"In that case, why does your family always engage in this kind of activity? Your family's banquets have always been known for their grandeur and luxury. ”

"Isn't the meaning of the existence of zài in high society lies in these boring red tape and drinking banquets and dances? If we don't understand the etiquette and banquets that even we ourselves feel impatient with, how should the upper class show their superiority? Our family is also upper-class now, so we have to follow the local customs......" Lola replied indifferently, and then looked at Charles with a smile, "Mr. Treville, your family is considered an upper-class veteran, from your point of view, how is our family learning?" ”

"Oh, very good learner, much better than us." Charles replied with a slight compliment, "As I said, your family's banquet is very grand and famous. ”

"Hehe...... Lola laughed, "Daddy should be happy to receive such a compliment from you...... However, my dad said that these interactions are just means and should never be the end of our lives.

Louis XVI and his court indulged in the endless feasts of Versailles, so they brought about their own destruction, and even your great-grandfather was guillotined, right? Once we indulge in these boring pastimes, like them, we may not end up guillotined, but we will not end much better. ”

Then, she nodded at Charles, "So, my father admires you, and despite being born in high society, you are able to free yourself from this fog that erodes the life force and willpower of human beings, and always know what you want, have a clear purpose, a strong will, and see everything else as a means to be used...... This kind of quality is not very unusual in the past war years, but in the current 'golden age' of drunken dreams and death, it is simply commendable. ”

"I'm afraid I'm not as good as you say." Charles was slightly embarrassed.

"Don't be modest, for the strong, it is natural for them to be detached from the ordinary, and there is nothing to be sorry for," Lola replied coldly, "My father really admires you, and he has taken you as an example when he has taught my brother several times, and asked him to learn from you." ”

No wonder her brother treats me so badly, I see. What young people hate the most is "other people's children", right? Charles's heart suddenly dawned.

At the same time, Charles also keenly felt that this young lady was intentionally or unintentionally provoking his relationship with his brother.

"I think Morris is a good young man." Charles hurriedly replied, "He also has his excels. ”

"Hmph...... That's right," Lola's face flashed a malicious sneer again, "of course he has his strengths, he's very sociable, he's good poker, he's good dancing, he's got good marksmanship...... 1. He has mastered all the skills that people think a good aristocratic young man should master...... However, because of this, he lost himself, and he became a pitiful mortal......"

"Huh? What do you mean? Charles asked, curiously.

"Isn't it obvious?" Lola glanced at Charles coldly, "We are the bourgeoisie, we are the bourgeoisie, we are the bourgeoisie, once we become vassals and become nobles, we are finished." Only eternal enterprising spirit can make a man strong and omnipotent, just like my father. Morris always couldn't see this clearly, he regarded being an elegant upper-class person as the embodiment of the value of his own life, it was simply ridiculous, we are stronger than the old people of the old era, and we should let the nobles bow down to us, right? He had the opportunity to become a great man, but he volunteered to be a wretched worm! ”

Even when she said such a fierce judgment, her tone was still very indifferent, and she couldn't see any emotional fluctuations.

“…… Yes, as my father said, I have watched you for a long time, and I also think that you are not like an ordinary nobleman, not the mediocre person I see everywhere here today, but like a strong man like my father, a person who surpasses ordinary people, and the world is destined to be driven by people like you, not people like my brother......"

"In this case, my brother should be ruthlessly swept away from this world, and should not stand in the way of other strong people." The girl kept the last words in her heart.

It's not the time, it's not the time.

And even though she didn't say the last words, Charles still felt a little inexplicably frightened by this girl in her heart,

It seems that this girl embraced a Nietzschean philosophy that divides humanity into "superhuman" and hopelessly mundane.

Oh no, at this time, Nietzsche had just been born, and it was not his turn to educate the world, but she was taught by her father's words and deeds to practice her own superhuman philosophy that "the strong are born to be above the heads of ordinary people". The great banker's eternal thirst and pursuit of profit, and his contempt for ordinary people, made such a girl.

After dancing for so long, her hands were still as cold as ever.

What an amazing person.

To the tune of the dance music, Lola danced lightly and gracefully around Charles, and suddenly, Lola leaned back, and then Charles grabbed her waist, and the two of them looked at each other like that.

It does look beautiful,

Charles commented in his heart without emotion. (To be continued......)
