Chapter 57 (1/2)
Dewey thought a little.
This Marquis Liszt, Dewey, has heard of it. The Marquis is not a hereditary title, but a lifelong one. Such a title can only be possessed when I am alive, and can not be inherited by later generations.
This Marquis Liszt was originally a widow. Her husband was the little uncle and Duchess of Augustine VI, the current emperor of the Empire. However, subtly, the Duke was ten years younger than his majesty... In a large royal family, this phenomenon is not surprising.
Mrs. Liszt was born into the family of a famous maritime trade magnate in the Empire. She was as beautiful as a flower when she was young. At the age of 15, she married her Majesty's uncle, the Duke in her forties. Unfortunately, at the age of 22, she became a widow.
The Duchess was so weak that he was called by the LORD before he was fifty. After the death of the Duke, his majesty granted the poor widow a royal title... The marquis. According to the imperial law, this kind of lifetime Title cannot be inherited.
Since then, it has been rumored that his majesty Augustine VI, the emperor of the Empire, has some idea of not being able to identify with this beautiful young aunt. A few years ago, when this kind of rumor became more and more serious,
As a result, the 30-year-old Marquis moved out of the imperial capital and lived alone in a ancestral home in the northern province of AI Leng, in order to avoid the numerous scandals of the imperial capital.
After becoming a widow, the Marquis restored her maiden name, Liszt. And this Marquis Liszt's wealth, in the aristocratic circle of the Empire, is also quite famous!
Although she could not inherit the title of the dead Duke, the dead Duke had no children, but left a large amount of inheritance to his young wife. What's more, Mrs. Liszt's father, the great merchant of sea trade, also left his daughter amazing wealth!
Even in the aristocratic circle, there was an unsightly nickname for this lady: the richest widow of the Empire.
This is all that Dewey knows about Marquis Liszt.
”Oh, marquis Liszt. I've heard of this lady's name Dewey tried to be very casual and asked, ”can you take the liberty to ask, my dear Marquis, what's wrong with her?”
When it comes to this issue, Dardanelle and others immediately show their extremely indignant expression, and the speaker is still Dardanelle: ”Alas, this matter is a great shame to the Liszt family!”
