Fate made him join the army by accident. After several twists and turns in the war, he was forced to become a Prussian soldier and became a tool used by others. However, he is very good at picking girls. He easily attracted a single woman during the war, and he had a lot of ambiguities with other women after marriage; and fate gave him a chance to use his skills to catch Lived in the heart of a noble woman. Since then, his life has changed 180 degrees.
But in this part, he's reduced to a playboy with nothing to do. The plot of this paragraph is also extremely slow, giving people a sense of the slow atmosphere of truly experiencing the life of the nobles at that time. Of course, he did not continue such an eternal happy life. In middle age, his son died unexpectedly and the family was deeply in debt, which made him extremely sad and lost. The final twist of fate began in a duel with his wife's ex-husband and son. At this moment, he was fortunate to have the perfect opportunity to solve the big trouble. Maybe he is more realistic, but he is not a ruthless person; maybe it was the death of his son that made him feel lost, he didn't hate this "son", but made him not want to cause more tragedies, even if he sacrificed himself. But this decision made him lose all the glitz!
He lost a leg, lost his social identity and left the UK. He became an outlaw again, it turned out that he did not successfully resist the god of fate; it turned out that all this was just a dream...
