I'm the Dauphin in France

Chapter 952: Sheler's Travels Part
When Mr. and Mrs. Scherer heard this, their eyes almost popped out of their heads.

My God! This house is worth 1 francs, or 8 florins!

You know, a luxurious villa built in the center of Vienna only costs 7 florins.

He could not help but glance at the boxes at the corner of the stairs again, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard of this kind of "Angels of Paris" cosmetics in Vienna. The price was extremely expensive, and his small noble family could not afford it at all.

No wonder this brother-in-law is so wealthy.

Baron Scheerer felt a lot more at ease while being amazed.

It seems that Elijah can really lend himself 1 florins.

Lucas is saved!

Just as he stood up to thank Elijah, the door was opened.

A girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a light green gauze dress, with gray-blue eyes, a high and straight nose, and full of classical beauty, ran in excitedly.

It was not until she entered the living room that she saw there were guests in the room. She hurriedly "slammed on the brakes", but was bumped by the maid who came behind her to pull her back, causing her to stumble.

The girl tried her best to keep her balance and adjusted her skirt awkwardly. Then she looked at Elijah carefully and whispered, "Father, who are these two?"

Before Elijah could answer, Mrs. Scherer stood up, took the girl's hand, and smiled lovingly: "Oh, my dear Corinna, you have grown so big. Look at this beautiful face, it's just like a lily in the morning light, bathed in the light of Aurora."

The girl immediately knelt nervously and saluted: "Thank you, ma'am, your compliment really makes me feel humbled."

Elijah hurriedly said, "Corinna, this is your aunt. You often visited her home when we lived in Vienna."

Corinna obviously had no memory of what happened more than ten years ago, and she bowed again: “It’s nice to meet you, dear aunt.

"Oh, this must be my uncle. I hope you have a good time in Reims."

Mrs. Scheerer asked her niece to sit down and greeted her warmly, but the girl's face showed anxiety.

Elijah turned around and whispered to the maid, "Gina, why did the lady come back so early?"

Corinna hurriedly said, "Father, Baron Maher has to go to welcome the army's triumphant return, so get out of class is over early today."

Baron Mahel is her dance teacher, a very famous dancer in the aristocratic circle of Reims.

Elijah frowned slightly: "The army is returning in triumph?"

"Yes, General Massena's troops have returned from Cologne and will enter the city this afternoon." Corinna said excitedly, "Everyone is ready to welcome them.

"Actually, I wanted to come back to change clothes, and then go to the east of the city with Baron Maher and the others..."

Elijah couldn't help but curl his lips. "How interesting. We are Austrians. The French army just defeated our emperor, and now you are going to greet them?"

Corinne immediately protested: "I'm not Austrian. I've lived in Reims all my life, so I'm French! You see, I barely speak German anymore."

"Whatever you say. But you'd better not go anywhere this afternoon."

Elijah signaled to the maid, "Gina is back, go clean up the guest room on the second floor. My sister and brother-in-law's luggage are in that room.

"Old John and his wife have taken leave, and everything at home is a mess."

Corinna suddenly became anxious and stood up and said, "Father, um, Reina and Luisa will also go."

Elijah hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, remember to come back early."

The two girls were both noble ladies of high status and were also Corinna's classmates. One of the important reasons why he had asked his daughter to learn dancing from Baron Maher was to make it easier for him to get in touch with them.

Corinna was overjoyed. She quickly changed into a very beautiful dress and pulled her maid to go out.

Elijah suddenly remembered something, looked at her and said, "Wait, you just said that the army that entered the city was the same one that went to Luxembourg?" "Yes, father."

Elijah frowned again: "So, the tailor's son is back too?"

Corinna winked at the maid and said casually, "I don't know, maybe."

The maid moved to the door and turned the doorknob.

Corinna immediately rushed out the door and got into the carriage: "Rena and Luisa are waiting anxiously."

Mrs. Scherer looked at the door that was still shaking and asked her cousin, "Who is the 'tailor's son' you are talking about?"

The latter said unhappily, "He was just a poor boy. He went to Paris two years ago to attend something... oh, the police academy. Later, he returned to Reims to serve. I don't know how he managed to make Corinna dizzy and she even said she fell in love with him."

"That guy went to Luxembourg to fight with the army last year. I didn't expect him to come back alive."

Mrs. Scherer echoed, "Is his family a tailor? That's certainly not worthy of Corinna."

"Isn't it?" Elijah sighed, "Baron Swarzik proposed to me earlier this year, but I didn't agree. How could I let her marry a poor boy?

"But Corinna is almost 17 years old, and I have to find a good marriage for her as soon as possible."

After dinner, Elijah stood at the window waiting for his daughter to come back, but until eight o'clock in the evening, the gas street lights had been on for a long time, but his family's carriage still did not appear.

He was not worried about any danger, after all, he was with Baron Maher, but he was always afraid that the tailor's son would abduct his daughter.

Just as he was about to go out to find his daughter, the carriage came back.

Corinna pushed the door open and entered the house. She was obviously in a bad mood. She hurriedly greeted her father and the Scherer couple, then hid in her room and locked the door.

Elijah called the maid over in confusion and asked, "Has Corinna seen that boy?"

Gina nodded quickly: "Yes, sir, they talked for a long time."

Elijah gestured towards his daughter's room. "So, they had a fight?"

"It seems not so, sir."

"So what happened to Corinna?"

Gina lowered her head and said, "I think it's because Mr. Tevait was injured."

Tewait was the tailor's son.

"Injured? Seriously?"

The maid's voice lowered a few notes: "He lost his left hand."

Elijah’s eyes suddenly lit up: “Oh, that’s great… ah, I mean, it’s a pity that he is so young.

"But if that's the case, Corinna should have given up on him. Well, no wonder she's so sad."

The next morning, after Elijah had washed up and was about to send the servant to buy some breakfast, he saw the door of his daughter's room being pushed open.

"Good morning, Corinna. I heard about what happened to Mr. Tevye. It's such a tragedy..."

Before Elijah could finish his words, Corinna had already walked in front of him and said firmly, "Father, I have made up my mind."

"Ah? What did you decide?"

"I'm getting engaged to Tewait!"
