Aaron looked at the rather small bedroom, bathroom, cloakroom, and guest rooms prepared for servants, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Ordinary first-class cabins are so luxurious, what kind of scenery should a suite look like? A palace?"
He put the decorative drawing board and suitcase into the cloakroom, lay down on the sofa, felt his body being softly lifted, and couldn't help but sink in, letting out a sigh of contentment.
"This trip is just like a vacation... Speaking of which, although I was once a count, not to mention the material supply at that time. In my previous life, I was just at the bottom of society... I really can't imagine the happiness of rich people.
.”
"We'll talk about the rest when we get to South Indonesia..."
Previously, based on the conversation with Motura, the other party also gave some information.
For example, the 'Keeper of Secrets' seems to be focusing on the colonial direction, while the 'Historical Research Association' has also developed a force in the world and is active in South Indonesia.
"In addition, the colonial resistance forces and the Voodoo Cult are also worth noting..."
"Forget it, forget about this for now, let's go to the bar and have fun!"
The largest bar on the St. Margaret's is only open to first and second class passengers.
In addition to the servants of first-class guests, the people living in second-class cabins are mainly middle-class people such as doctors, lawyers, and teachers.
As for third-class passengers? There are actually many places on this luxury vacation liner that are inaccessible.
…
The long traveling life is always boring.
Therefore, bars, swimming pools, libraries and other places have become good places for many people to spend time.
Passenger ship bar, next to a small round table.
Aaron occupied a position with a glass of gin and tonic in front of him, holding an entertainment tool similar to playing cards in his hand.
During this time, he smoothly integrated into the social circle of the St. Margaret's and formed his own small circle.
"Queen!"
He played the queen card and looked across at the man in his thirties who was wearing a brown formal suit and a beautiful mustache: "Kane, you said you got news about that lady?"
"Of course... How can such a beautiful lady not live in an expensive first-class suite, making people curious?"
Kane is a senior lawyer who goes to the colony to handle business for a client. He is not usually a meticulous person, but is very fond of joking.
Ingves uses laws that favor maritime law. An eloquent lawyer will bring considerable benefits to the client, so the lawyers who can go to court here are all eloquent.
"Then...barrister, tell us quickly."
The eyes of Dr. Paul on the left are shining. He is a surgeon. He originally opened a small clinic, but he caused a big accident. When he performed an amputation operation on a patient, he moved too fast. Not only did the patient suffer
He died of blood loss, accidentally injured the surgical assistant next to him, and frightened a rich man who bought a ticket to visit crazy...
Although he spent all his money and hired a barrister to cultivate connections and finally avoided jail, his medical license was inevitably revoked.
At this time, he was impoverished and prepared to try his luck in the New World. It was said that the 'witch doctors' there did not need a medical license.
Of course, these were all secrets obtained by Aaron through special means. Paul claimed to the outside world that he was embarrassed because of the scandal with his nurse, so he went to the New World to hide.
Aaron's evaluation of him was that, as a fair-weather friend, apart from some lust and poor medical skills, he was pretty good in other aspects.
"Paul, I advise you not to think about it, there is no hope..."
Kane shook his head and said with a smile: "That Miss Helen Candy took her mother's surname."
"Mother's last name?"
The last person at the card table, a tall, thin, pale young man named Bert, wondered: "Could it be that she is a dishonorable illegitimate daughter? But her style and the scale of her travels are not the same..."
"It is true that she is an illegitimate daughter, but she is the illegitimate daughter of an earl, and she is very loved." Kane gave the answer: "This time she brought so many servants and nuns with her to prepare to go
Colonial Marriage.”
"Oh, my goddess..." Paul exaggeratedly covered his heart: "I'm so sad...disgusting political marriage!"
"The performance is a bit exaggerated." Aaron took a sip of wine and commented lightly.
"Although it is a political marriage, Miss Candy's fiancé was carefully selected by the earl. He is a young officer in the colony. It is said that he is handsome, has great military achievements, and is a young man with a bright future." Kane sighed.
"How did you find out about this kind of news?" Bot asked curiously.
"Miss Candy's entourage is so large that we can't even accommodate them in the suite. Some of the servants live in the second class cabin, which happens to be next to me."
Kane smiled and explained the reason: "However, Miss Candy's own reputation is not very good. It is said that she is very arrogant and rude, and does not have the demeanor of a real upper-class lady... The most important thing is..."
Kane lowered his voice: "It is said that the earl gave me a dowry of ten thousand pounds!"
"Ten thousand pounds?"
Paul exclaimed, unable to conceal his jealousy: "It would be great if I were that fiancé."
"Then I'm afraid you have to lose weight first and then look twenty years younger." Aaron played the last card: "I win this round."
"Too cunning."
"You are taking the opportunity to attract our attention."
Bert yelled a few words, and finally took out a few silver shillings.
Aaron noticed that although he did not show his envy and jealousy like Paul, the eagerness in his eyes could not be hidden.
However, people in this era are not ashamed to pursue wealth and power.
'I just hope he won't think about being a pretty boy, seducing the illegitimate daughter and running away...'
Aaron lit a cigar for himself. It is said that these top-grade golden cigars were rolled on the thighs of beautiful female slaves in tobacco plantations in South Indonesia.
But in his opinion, it's just a gimmick by advertisers.
While puffing away the smoke, Aaron was also thinking calmly in his heart:
'My hunch is right, I'm afraid this ship will be destroyed...'
'However, it's hard to say the cause of the shipwreck. Although the name of Ms. Helen Candy is somewhat similar to the real name of a survivor of the shipwreck... But I feel that the biggest unsafe factor is myself.'
‘If I study the ‘Da Mo Spell’ here and attract a large number of giant sea monsters, this ship will definitely be destroyed...’
At this time, Kane's voice came to his ears: "The annoying guy is here, huh? He is pestering the Miss Ten Thousand Pounds!"
