At the dance.

Douglas's dance steps are very skillful.

Mary was born a commoner and had never received any dance training, so Frederick II urgently taught her several times.

Therefore, Mary's performance at this social dance was not elegant, and could even be said to be a bit too bad.

Several times, her high heels stepped on Douglas's feet.

Mary looked apologetic: "Sorry sir, although dance is an option in my family education, my heart is not there..."

Douglas generously expressed his understanding. He also pretended that he was not steady because Mary stepped on his feet several times.

From time to time his hand touched Mary's.

Mary seemed not to notice these indecent acts.

Through this ball, Douglas learned that Mary was born into a noble family.

He was completely attracted by Mary's temperament, especially Mary's wine-colored dress, which seemed to be tailor-made for her appearance.

Faint and vague, hazy and ambiguous.

After the dance ended, Douglas looked at the beauty and licked his lips. It would be too boring if he could only get her body for such a beautiful woman.

Although Douglas is lustful, he still has some taste.

For a woman like Mary, what Douglas wanted to do most was to occupy the beauty's body and mind.

Thinking of this, Douglas suppressed the impulse in his heart.

He was not in a hurry to get started, but showed a gentle smile and said: "The time has passed, Miss Mary, please allow me to send you away."

"After all, a woman as beautiful as you must not be persecuted by those pagans."

Mary did not refuse Douglas's move to send her home.

But she was very unhappy with Douglass calling the Protestants heretics.

However, Mary did not show her negative emotions, but showed a grateful smile: "Excuse me, Mr. Douglas."

Douglass put Mary into the carriage and sent her away.

...

At this time, America.

British colonial area, its fringe area.

Virginia, this is George's hometown.

He owned large plantations here, which he owned from his father and his brother Dan.

George's father passed away long ago. As a former large plantation owner, all his father left to George was the plantation and a few slaves.

But George was young at the time and lived with his brother Dan.

Both of them once loved adventure, but unfortunately they both contracted smallpox during another voyage.

Although both George and Dan survived, Dan's body, which had been tortured by tuberculosis before, was getting weaker and weaker, and he was infected with smallpox this time. Although Dan survived.

However, due to physical weakness and the heavy injuries caused by his serious illness, Dan passed away not long after this voyage.

Dan's widow did not inherit the large plantation left by Dan.

Instead, these plantations were handed over to George.

Therefore, George obtained a large plantation. Before joining the army, George lived very richly on the plantation, and he was also very kind to his sister-in-law.

After George joined the army, the Virginia Self-Defense Forces led by him actually achieved a major victory against the French soldiers.

Therefore, George's name, at least where he lives, can be said to be known to many people.
