Bambi and the Duke

Bambi and the Duke

Disowned for being a human, Vivian was taken in as a maid at the age of seven by the Carmichael household. Serving one of the most respected and elite pureblood families in Bonelake, there were rules. Rules that must be followed by all servants and maids. Like everyone else, Vivian was repeatedly reminded not to disobey the rules. But before she could learn to blend into the background like the other servants, the Duke's young son calls to her, “Bambi.” And all hell breaks loose. ----- "What? Never seen a bruise before?" Leonard scoffed at the girl. "Does it hurt?" Vivian asked, gently kneeling beside him and examining the several bruises covering his face. "Not that much." Remembering what her mother used to do when she got a bruise, Vivian brought her sleeve to her mouth and blew warm air on it before placing it on the boy's cheek, taking him by surprise. Leonard swatted her hand away, a hint of pink appearing on his cheeks embarrassed, "W-what are you doing?" "Mama told me this will make the pain go away," the girl held her hand close to her chest as she shared her past memory. "I’m not a child!” Leonard huffed at her. “I don’t think you’re a child,” she stared at him with a crystal-clear gaze. Taken aback, Leonard locked eyes with her for two seconds before shaking his head. “Don’t worry about it. They’ll heal in a day or two anyways," he reassured her before getting up and taking a seat at the table where his books were placed. "Odd girl," he muttered to himself as he pulled the top book from the stack and lost himself in it.

The real daughter of the High Duke's Public House has returned
The following is an analysis of the common creative elements and possible story directions of the plot of the novel "The real daughter of the High Duke's Public House has returned". In this kind of novel, it was often full of contradictions and the reversal of the character's fate. Usually, the real daughter of the High Duke's Public House had been wandering outside for many years. Once she returned, she would definitely break the original family order and balance of interpersonal relationships. From the perspective of family relationships, the adopted daughter had been in the residence for many years and enjoyed the love, resources, and social status that belonged to the real daughter. After the real daughter returned, the adopted daughter would feel a huge threat. She might do everything she could to protect everything she had, and thus have conflicts with the real daughter. For example, she might spread rumors in front of her family, trying to smear the real daughter so that her family would continue to favor her. As for the other family members of the High Duke's Public House, their attitude would also be very complicated. On the one hand, they might feel guilty and accept the real daughter because of their blood relationship, and on the other hand, it was difficult to let go of the emotional ties with their adopted daughter for many years. This could lead to a dilemma between treating the real daughter and the adopted daughter, forming different camps within the family. From a social perspective, the image of a real daughter after her return was also varied. She might not be understood or accepted by the social class at that time because of her years of rural life or special experiences (such as being a taboo job as a coroner), and she might face discrimination and ostracism from the outside world. However, it was also possible to rely on their unique charm, talent, or tenacious personality to gradually gain a foothold in social situations and even change people's inherent views. In terms of emotional lines, if there was a marriage arrangement, it would often become the focus of conflict. The real daughter might be arranged to marry the fiancé of the adopted daughter, and the fiancé might have prejudice or misunderstanding towards the real daughter. The real daughter might resist this forced marriage or actively strive for her own happiness. In terms of character growth, through a series of experiences in the High Duke's Public House, the real daughter gradually grew from a victim who was teased by fate to a strong person who could control her own fate and change the views of her family and society. She might have learned the art of politics in the struggle with her adopted daughter, strengthened her beliefs in dealing with social pressure, and finally achieved self-worth and happiness. All in all,'The Real Daughter of the High Duke's Public House Is Back' was a plot setting that was full of storytelling and creative potential. It could give rise to many dramatic plot developments and changes in the relationship between the characters.

Duke Zhenguo and Duke Dingguo
Duke Zhenguo and Duke Dingguo had different meanings in different dynasties. In the Qing Dynasty, State Guardians were the nobility of the imperial clan. State Guardians who scored 80% were more prominent in terms of status symbols, while those who did not score 80% were relatively inferior. However, they were all super-ranked nobility, and their status was higher than that of meritorious officials with different surnames. Moreover, State Guardians generally did not rely on their own abilities. They were mostly inherited by their families. They usually did not take on actual tasks and had no real power. The Duke of Dingguo had different situations in the dynasties before the Qing Dynasty. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, there was Xu Xianzhong, the Duke of Dingguo, who succeeded to the title of Duke of Dingguo in the third year of Zhengtong (1438) and participated in matters such as conferring titles. In other dynasties, such as the Tang Dynasty, there were also Duke Dingguo, like Xue He, who was conferred the title of Duke Dingguo. From some literary works, Duke Zhenguo and Duke Dingguo were also mentioned. For example, in an ancient passage of time, the Yang family of Duke Zhenguo and the Gu family of Duke Dingguo were mentioned. In the novel, they had different performances and roles in the situation of the court and the aspirations of their families.

The difference between the Duke Protector and the Duke Guardian
Lord Protector was a title adopted by the dictator of England during the Puritan Revolution, O 'Cromwell, in 1653. The Duke of the State had different situations in different dynasties of China. It had already appeared in the Song Dynasty. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty granted his son the title of Duke of the State. In the Ming Dynasty, the Duke of the State did not belong to the conventional title system. Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty created a Duke of the State with special characteristics. He was the only one. In the Qing Dynasty, the Duke of the State belonged to the imperial clan title system. It was divided into the Duke of the State of Feng En (the eighth rank of Duke of the State) and the Duke of the State. It was also the fifth rank of nobility in the Qing Dynasty. It was below the Bei Zi and above the Fuguo Duke. There were obvious differences between the two in terms of their country, background, and title system.

The difference between Duke Zhenguo and Duke Dingguo
There were many differences between Duke Zhenguo and Duke Dingguo: 1. ** Nature differences in the Qing Dynasty ** - Guoguo Duke was a noble title in the Qing Dynasty, and only the children of the Aisin Gioro family had the chance to obtain it. In the imperial clan's nobility system, they were ranked fifth, after the Prince, King, Baylor, and Bei Zi. They were divided into two categories: those who entered the eighth rank and those who did not. Those who entered the eighth rank had special treatment. - The Duke of Dingguo was a title of meritorious service with a different surname (inferred from the Ming Dynasty and other situations, although it was not clear whether there was such a title in the Qing Dynasty, it was different from the Duke of Zhenguo). The title of meritorious service with a different surname was awarded to the Banner people and Han people according to the degree of merit, which was different from the title of the imperial clan. 2. ** Status and power are different ** - In the Qing Dynasty, the Duke of the State was a member of the imperial clan and had a higher status. When comparing officials of the same rank, because the title of the imperial clan was more valuable than the title of the meritorious minister, the status of the Duke of the State was higher than that of the first-class duke (the first-class duke was the highest rank of the meritorious minister with a different surname), not to mention the title of the meritorious minister with a different surname like the Duke of Dingguo. Generally, the status of the Duke of the State was respected, but if he inherited it and did not have any ability, he might only be an idle imperial clan member, but from the perspective of the title system, his status was still high. - The title of Duke Dingguo was usually awarded based on actual military achievements or other merits. For example, Xu Xianzhong, Duke Dingguo of the Ming Dynasty, had a series of activities to participate in the affairs of the court, such as conferring the title of the imperial concubine and the children of the imperial clan. This indicated that Duke Dingguo had a certain role in the affairs of the court. Moreover, there was a clear system of inheriting titles in the Ming Dynasty. It was a way to praise the families of meritorious officials and continue the glory of the family. 3. ** Different dynasties in history have different specific situations ** - In the Ming Dynasty, Duke Dingguo was a hereditary title of meritorious minister. For example, Xu Da's descendants inherited Duke Dingguo and had a clear family inheritance. Family members played an important role in politics and military affairs, such as Xu Xianzhong's participation in the court's canonizing affairs. - During the period of Emperor Zhongzong and Emperor Ruizong of the Tang Dynasty, a member of the Xue family was conferred the title of Duke of the State. From the perspective of the knighthood at that time, Duke of the State was one of the many titles of kings, dukes, and marquises. It was different from the system of Duke Dingguo. The difference between the two was more reflected in the differences in the knighthood of different families due to different achievements and the different positions in the knighthood system of each dynasty.
