Chapter 1280 They're all crazy
Nuan Nuan was still riding on the tiger. She didn't care about the way others looked at her, but Athena couldn't. She was a typical noble lady, and every move she made was in accordance with the proper etiquette. Although she envied Nuan Nuan, she dared not make any mistakes under her mother's watchful eye.
According to the order of royal succession, Zuo Mingyue is the first in line to inherit Princess Sofia's title. However, Zuo Mingyue has made it clear that she does not want to be a princess; she is simply Da Bao's wife, and that is enough.
Arthur's servants were waiting at the exit; this was the foundation of an established family. In comparison, Da Bao was at best a nouveau riche. Da Bao didn't transfer Xiao Dao and the others to Paris, but instead kept him and Guo Yingnan in London.
He has his own plans in Europe, so he won't stay there for long. After achieving his goals, his final destination will still be Hong Kong, since it's his own people's place. Everything here makes him uncomfortable, including the air.
Nuannuan suddenly cried out.
"Dad, it smells so bad here..."
Da Bao let go of Zuo Mingyue's hand and picked up his daughter. Paris, as an international metropolis, is known as one of the two dirtiest cities in Europe, just like London. Especially in this day and age, people can be seen urinating and defecating everywhere. Such unhygienic behavior is actually called performance art by idiots.
Da Bao turned to Sophia and asked.
"Princess, shall we go to the hotel now or somewhere else?"
Princess Sofia shook her head.
"No! We're going to Notre Dame Cathedral now. I need to see Archbishop Maurice."
The reason Notre Dame Cathedral is famous is entirely due to the fact that in 1955 and 1960, Italy and France adapted it into a film based on Victor Hugo's novel of the same name, which included a love story between Quasimodo, the hunchback bell ringer, and a Gypsy girl. Since then, Paris has been known as the city of romance.
In Paris, you can see couples kissing everywhere. If this happened in China, they would be dragged out for criticism, sentenced, or even executed for hooliganism. But in Paris, France, it's just normal. There's even a kind of kiss that's so intense it's suffocating, called a French kiss, which is basically kissing until you can't breathe.
Da Bao covered Nuan Nuan's eyes, saying, "It's too spicy! Kids will get styes if they look at it for too long."
Suddenly, a street performer playing the violin ran up to Zuo Mingyue and Sophia, opened his arms, and shouted loudly.
"Oh, my dear beauty..."
"I'll fuck you!"
Da Bao kicked him more than three meters away. The guy lay on the ground clutching his stomach, never calling out "beauty" again.
"You stupid idiots, if you come up here again and act all cocky, I'll kill you."
Another idiot rushed up, repeatedly making the sign of the cross on his chest and shouting.
“Easterner, you’re not a gentleman. When someone praises your wife, you should kneel down and gratefully kiss his shoes, not kick him away…”
"Fuck you, you kicked him but not you, right?"
This man also flew out, and his female companion bravely rushed up, loudly reciting Friedrich Schiller's verses about love.
"Love is the fullness of life, like a glass overflowing with wine..."
Zuo Mingyue rushed forward, her eyebrows raised in anger, and with a mighty effort, she kicked the woman to the ground.
"Are you all crazy?"
Sofia, Desri Susanna, and Athena stared in disbelief at Zuo Mingyue, who was cradling her large pregnant belly. They suddenly felt as if they had never truly understood Aymu.
Da Bao couldn't help but laugh. This was the same little devil who used to dominate the military compound. His Mingyue was never a gentle and quiet woman; she was a fiery girl.
Everyone got into the car, even the little tiger squeezed in, while the white wolf sat swaggering in the passenger seat, startling Arthur's men who sputtered as they drove.
Notre Dame Cathedral is located on the Île de la Cité in the middle of the Seine River. It was not completed until 1345, taking a full 182 years from commencement to completion. To be honest, Da Bao really doesn't understand it.
Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty built the Forbidden City in just fourteen years, and its scale was far greater. Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris claims that it has been delayed due to technical and financial problems. Da Bao scoffs at this, thinking, "What kind of technology does this piece of junk have to do with a Gothic building? If I had known this would happen, I would have just hired workers from China to do it. It wouldn't have taken six or seven generations of people to complete it."
Notre Dame Cathedral features a Latin cross layout, is 127 meters long, and has a spire that is 96 meters high.
After Da Bao came in, he pouted and muttered to Zuo Mingyue.
"What a piece of junk! It's only a little over 120 meters long, which is shorter than the Imperial Garden in our Forbidden City. The Imperial Garden is 140 meters long. These stupid foreigners have no taste."
Zuo Mingyue pinched him playfully, meaning, "Don't bring my mom into this stupid foreigner you're talking about."
Uncle Qing wouldn't go into a place like that. He held Nuannuan and led the tiger and white wolf to play outside, while Sophia led her son and daughter into Notre Dame Cathedral with piety.
When they entered, it was during a service. Sophia, with her children, sat devoutly at the back with her hands clasped to her chest, chanting the Bible along with the Notre Dame choir.
Arthur, Desley, and Susanna were also believers, and like Sophia, they made the sign of the cross with one hand and then clasped their hands together in front of their chests.
Zuo Wenbin received a traditional Chinese education and looked down on foreign things. Not wanting to put his wife in a difficult position, he sat in the last row with Da Bao and Zu Mingyue.
About twenty minutes later, the service ended, and the parishioners began to leave. Sophia, with her two children, stood up and walked towards the priest.
"Father John, do you still recognize me?"
The priest wiped his glasses, recognized Sophia, and exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh my god, isn't this our esteemed princess? What brings you here?"
This priest was named John. His position in Notre Dame was that of a priest, who presided over mass, weddings, and other important events. This position required him to be celibate.
“Father John, I have come with my children to see Archbishop Morris.”
Father John smiled.
"Your Highness, Bishop Maurice was promoted to Cardinal two years ago and has taken up a post in the Vatican. The current Bishop presiding over Notre Dame is Father Moriarty. Would you like to see him?"
Sophia paused, then realized that she hadn't attended Mass at Notre Dame for eight years. She had come to see Archbishop Maurice today hoping he could persuade her brother and sister to talk to them.
After all, they're family; it wouldn't look good for either of them to fall out. But since Maurice wasn't there, she took her leave...
