Reborn As a Pirate

Compared with Lorraine, Shaq is obviously the one in the Drake family who is more adapted to the inherent rules.

Experts can always use the rope tied to the body to dance like a whip, and Shaq is the same. It seems that as long as he wants, he can draw Lorraine to where he wants Lorraine to go.

Like...meeting.

In Bermuda, he kidnapped old Leonard; later in the Atlantic, he drove out Lorraine's employer.

Since Lorraine became a monk in 1776, the two Drakes have met these two times. Lorraine didn't want to go each time, and each time Lorraine took the initiative to come to the door.

This time is no exception.

Baroness Ann Drake wanted to entertain Lorraine's female companion on the Lion, and Lorraine had no reason or position to refuse.

Not only could he not refuse, but as a person who also had the surname of Drake, out of etiquette, he had to act as a guide, and he was the first to step on the deck of the Lion before Henna, Carmen, and Noah.

Lorraine can bet that this must be another Shaq Francis Drake trick.

At 7:50 in the evening, Lorraine in a formal dress was the first to leave the Eucalyptus. Behind him, Carmen was wearing the simplest dark green dress in the cabin, Henna was wearing the most luxurious dark purple dress, and Noah chose her favorite dark blue formal dress.

The appropriate attire for a lady to attend a dinner party is dark and cool colors, and the atmosphere between the three of them is strange, but at least the tacit understanding is extraordinary.

Get off the boat, get on the carriage, turn along the plank road, get off the carriage, and board the boat.

Pretending to go through the entire banquet process, Lorraine saw the dignified and gentle little woman at the stairs of the poop.

"You must be Lorraine." She greeted her with a soft voice, a warm smile, and a slow and clear tone, "It's the first time we meet, I'm Ann."

"Lorraine Anason Drake." Lorraine leaned over and kissed Ann's ring lightly, "Nice to meet you, Baroness Tavistock."

Ann frowned visibly, but soon changed into a smile again: "Michelangelo's Madonna is like the best wedding gift I have received, I have been looking for a chance to thank you, and..."

She raised her head and swept behind Lorraine, looking at her daughter-in-law who was about to marry like a kind mother-in-law.

"Carmen Xavier, which one is Carmen Xavier who gave gifts with you?"

Lorraine stepped back half a step to make room.

"Hina Yesra is an Egyptian, my first and most cherished companion, the only comrade in this world who is willing to trust her back." He introduced Purple.

"Carmen Xavier, a Spaniard, my intelligence, my keys, my wealth and life are all in her hands." He introduced Green.

"Noah Sara, a homeless Roma girl, the child I love the most. But I have never done anything for her. On the contrary, she is my haven. Every time I am exhausted, it is her Provide me with spiritual comfort." He introduced blue.

The three girls exchanged simple greetings with Ann, and then stood aside stiffly or indifferently, even Carmen was no exception.

Ann held Noah's hand and said to Lorraine: "Lorraine, next is a girl's private conversation. I think a competent gentleman must want to go far away to pass the time."

"I'll wait in the carriage under the boat."

"No, no, there's no need for that. I had someone prepare tea and snacks on the forecastle deck. The night view of Wyrust is very good. You can go there to pass the time."

Sure enough...

Lorraine couldn't refuse the request of the gentle sister-in-law who met for the first time, and nodded in response after only a short silence.

"I'll go there, thank you for your kindness."

Ann laughed happily: "Tonight will be very pleasant, I have a hunch, beautiful girls."

...

Shaq was in the bow, which seemed to be a matter of course.

Lorraine was not surprised to see her master Shaq Drake on Drake's boat. The only thing that surprised her was that there was a little Drake sitting on Shaq's lap.

See Lorraine stepping up the stairs,

Little Drake jumped up with a cheer.

He is only about two years old, with blond hair and sea-blue eyes that are exactly the same as Shaq's. The soft facial contours are inherited from An, and he looks tiger-headed and tiger-headed, which is still cute.

"Uncle Lorraine!" He yelled childishly and rushed forward, wrapping his arms around Lorraine's leg like a pendant to wipe his saliva, without the fear that a child should have.

Lorraine moved her legs carefully, trying not to disturb him, and the clumsy appearance made the child giggle.

Finally moved to the seat, Lorraine sat down and looked at Shaq with the eyes of a caring lunatic.

"Are you going to the banquet? My respected lord, for a boring banquet where American bumpkins boast, you brought not only your wife, but also your son?"

"Masonry." Shaq softly spit out a word, "Philadelphia Ceremony destroyed a group of thugs in the name of Masonry, our Lord, the great His Majesty George III, felt that the London Ceremony should be on an appropriate occasion Express our congratulations and thanks."

"It just so happened that my original appointment time was half a month later, so I took advantage of the trend. I will leave for London as soon as the banquet is over. Chanel Basque has a new owner. In a short time, I will not Go back again."

"I see." Lorraine raised her head arrogantly, and patted the child's head strangely, "What's his name?"

"Les, Les Charlotte Drake."

"Charlotte?"

"Remember when I told you that my marriage with Ann was not blessed by anyone?"

Perhaps because of the family as a buffer, the relationship between Lorraine and Shaq seems to be extra soft today.

"That was wrong. I later found out that it was Queen Charlotte who gave Ann the courage to elope with me. During the few years we came to the New World, that noble lady has been easing the relationship between our two families."

"Ann's father, Earl Zafiran, has withdrawn his decision to drive Ann out of the house. This time, when I return to London, I can visit my mother and elder brother. I may invite the Earl to have a cup of tea, if the opportunity is right. "

"Count Zafiran..."

Lorraine felt that this surname seemed familiar, and after thinking for a while, he remembered that it was the Zafiran family, the largest landowner in the UK, who was firmly seated as the world's top plutocracy only by land rent.

"It must be admitted that Ambi is much more modest than I imagined." Lorraine said sincerely.

"An incomparably rich man is Ann's father, not Ann." Shaq waved his hand and called little Les back into his arms, "And in the eyes of others, it's only a matter of time before Drake is richer than Zaphilan .”

"In fact, it's still far away." Lorraine replied simply, "Even if the wealth of Zafiran's family stops increasing, it will take me 5 to 10 years to accumulate considerable wealth."

"By printing bonds for rednecks?"

"It's actually hype redneck bonds. Create a false economy, cover up the hidden dangers of rapid development, make some fools believe that the United States will become one of the most powerful countries in the world in 1840, and then piously take out the money and use it Three pounds or more for a pound worth of scrap paper, etc..."

"Probably this is the process, but you are definitely not interested. Even if those things tell you, you can't understand a little bit."

"I may have been learning." Shaq said lightly, "You can tell me."
