Chapter 33: Trap
Shouting loudly or calling for help is considered inappropriate behavior for socialites.
In other words, the situation is out of control.
In other words, the business capabilities are not good enough.
Watching the young man in front of her approaching her little by little, Faria felt her blood hitting her eardrums.
Am I going to suffer a loss today?
"Ahem."
Just as the young man licked his lips and approached her, a light cough interrupted his next move.
It also made Falia breathe a sigh of relief.
"Ms. Faria, today's meeting is almost over."
The voice came from Fariya's maid Asha.
The young man paused, feeling very unwilling.
But he didn't dare to take any further action.
If he really messed up, it would bring trouble to his family, unless the other party was willing to submit.
"Beauty is not a sin. I was rude. I am really sorry. Please forgive me, Miss Faria."
Faria calmed herself down and said softly:
"Your Excellency is too kind. From a certain perspective, this is also my honor."
Seeing the young man leave her cabin, Falia began to breathe heavily.
You have to know that these "professional socialites" are just ordinary girls.
Maybe he is outstanding in appearance and character, but he doesn't have much ability to protect himself.
At this time, her Asha walked in, her black almond eyes full of worry, and she asked:
"Ms. Faria, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
Faria's maid is of Dothraki descent. With almond-shaped eyes and thick long braids, she looks like an ordinary Braavos girl with a little more wildness.
In addition, their bodies also have more impressive curves.
If something really happens, they have to stand up and protect their masters from disaster.
For example, in the situation just now, if the young nobleman refused to give in, Falia's maid would have to sacrifice herself to appease him.
But fortunately, they all escaped.
After the master and servant calmed down, Asha spoke tentatively:
"My lady, Morrel wishes to introduce you to a man named Viserys Targaryen."
After all, this is the job of a socialite. Even if you have just experienced something like this, you still have to do your job.
"Viserys?" Faria couldn't remember the identity of the second brother Long.
"That's the Beggar King."
As his personal maid, Asha knew some of the prominent figures in Braavos and even the entire Free Cities.
She even knew those who were a little famous, even someone like the original Viserys.
"Him? What does he want to see me for?"
After being reminded by the maid, Faria remembered who the Beggar King was.
But she couldn't understand why Viserys wanted to see her.
I don't have an army. Although I have a few swordsmen, they are just my bodyguards.
"I heard that there is a good business that can make money and I want to discuss it with you."
'I wondered what he was going to do.'
Faria complained inwardly, it seemed that this beggar king was not planning to restore his country, but was planning to make a fortune first?
However, she did not intend to have too much entanglement with the descendant of a fallen country.
After all, the second brother of the dragon was always assassinated. If Robert thought that there was some unspeakable secret between her and Viserys, it would only bring trouble to himself.
So Faria would rather not participate in that so-called "good business".
Just when she was about to refuse, she felt that such a direct attitude was a little inappropriate.
After all, Viserys had met the Sea King before. No matter how great his reputation was, could it be greater than that of the Sea King?
Faria thought for a moment and said:
"Just say I'm not feeling well and it's inconvenient. If you have anything to say, ask Rancho to talk to him."
Rancho is equivalent to Faria's 'steward' + 'manager'.
"OK."
The maid Asha left the cabin, leaving Faria alone.
Thinking back on this incident, Faria found that she seemed to have fallen into a conspiracy.
The champion of the Ten-Day Celebration Beauty Pageant receives more than just a title and reward; it also represents an opportunity for a leap in status.
They will have the opportunity to enter the high walls of the three major families of Braavos and integrate their blood and the rest of their lives into them.
Even if they fail to achieve this goal, as the champions of the triennial beauty pageant, they will, to some extent, serve as the face of Braavos.
She would become the face of the city known as the 'Bastard of Valyria'.
They even have the opportunity to enter "diplomatic occasions" and the influence they possess is definitely not comparable to what it is now.
This is also the dream of every socialite.
But the prerequisite for becoming a champion, or the "ticket" to the beauty pageant is something they are born with - virginity.
After all, Braavos is Valyria's bastard, not Valyria's bitch.
The requirements on this point are very strict.
But now Faria is facing another problem.
If he couldn't protect Morel's workshop, he might be at a disadvantage in publicity by the time of the ten-day celebration.
If her workshop was converted into a theater, it would be a huge blow to Faria's reputation as "Moon Shadow".
Now she is in a dilemma.
If she gave herself to that young man, she might not be able to participate in the beauty pageant.
Moreover, your vital point is controlled by the other party.
Even if I use other methods to participate in the competition normally, if he makes some rude requests in the future, I might have to accept it.
But if you choose to maintain your innocence, you will be at a great disadvantage.
Nine times out of ten, you will lose.
According to the unwritten rules of the past, once a socialite won the championship, she would madly suppress her former opponent.
The best outcome for him was to escape from Braavos.
But she was just a girl of sixteen or seventeen, and once she left Braavos, she would immediately become a weakling.
In other words, the only choice she faces now is the difference between "dying early" and "dying late".
Suddenly, he began to understand the situation of Brother Long and his sister.
Now, she has two opponents.
One is called a poet.
The other is called 'Nightingale'
And Nightingale announced that he would build a new theater in Green Water Town.
Then it is very obvious who set up the trap for me.
"We must save the workshop!"
Faria thought to herself
She decided to let Rancho contact Morel again to find out the situation in the workshop.
If the situation is really bad, I will rescue them again.
In fact, socialites seem to be living a life that is like a paradise on earth.
However, maintaining such a lifestyle also requires huge expenses.
Not to mention the maids and servants around her, there are still a large number of people who depend on them for food.
Maybe she will have to consider selling some properties or even jewelry at that time.
However, Faria did not know how serious the losses of Morel Workshop were now.
