"Huh?"

When he heard Charles's enthusiastic mention, Prince Albert was stunned for a moment.

Indeed, even Charles himself had not thought about it a few minutes before, and he had really made such a request on the spur of the moment of his father's excitement.

In any case, Britain is now a powerful country like no other in the world, spreading its glory all over the world, and the monarch of this country naturally stands at the top of the world.

Now that they are seeking to draw in relations with France, and seem to have a good impression of themselves and their wife, why not take advantage of this good feeling now?

Having his child as the godson of His Majesty would not only allow him or her to enjoy a rare blessing upon birth, but would also be extremely helpful to himself, enough to silence all who doubted his diplomatic methods - if Tréville could be so valued by Her Majesty the Queen in just a month or two, who could question that he could not be more adept at French foreign affairs in the future?

With this thought in mind, he looked at the prince with enthusiasm, as if he was expecting him to nod in agreement.

Under Charles's gaze, the prince slowly recovered from his initial shock.

His expression calmed down, and he slowly burst into laughter.

"You made me an unexpected request." The Prince looked at Charles with a smile on his face, "Still, Charles. If you really have that hope, we wouldn't mind being honored...... Judging by you and your wife. Your child must be handsome and personable, and it's not bad to get such a great godson. ”

"In your opinion, it is a no-frills help. It seems to us a rare favor, Your Highness. Charles bowed to the Prince again, "I am grateful for your and Your Majesty's warm help. You and your kind and hospitable country have helped us so much, and I will do my best to repay this kindness, and I ask you to believe that no one in France will like England more than I do. My children and I will devote ourselves to the goodwill and friendship between England and France, and as long as I breathe, there will be no more unnecessary disputes between England and France! ”

Right under the Prince's gaze. Charles made him a great promise, promising that he would unswervingly pursue a pro-British course while he was still in power. And just now, he was trying his best to convey to the Russians what he had done to talk about his talks with the British.

It may seem paradoxical to seek to harm the interests of Britain and at the same time to ingratiate himself with Prince Albert, but in Charles's view there is no contradiction between doing both with the same sincerity.

"I am grateful for your dedication to my country," however. The prince's expression was still very reserved, and it was obvious that he still had full reservations about his sweet words, "However, from my experience...... In general. The more they don't want to do anything, the more they keep saying something. ”

Before Charles could reassure him, the prince shrugged his shoulders again. "Of course, Charles. This is only the majority of cases, and I personally have no doubt about your sincerity. Otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to your request, would I? ”

This kind of teasing made the extremely thick-skinned Charles feel a little embarrassed for a while.

Yes, he has been in the political arena of this country for more than ten years, and it is strange that the prince has not long been immune to sweet words—but he does not seem to be averse to the goodwill that Charles keeps proclaiming.

This kind of verbal kindness is worthless, and it is indeed difficult to impress a strong-willed and pragmatic person like him.

"Well, Charles, I understand your excitement, and I think you want to share your joy with anyone, just like I was at the beginning." Before Charles could say anything more, the prince soothed his wounded heart.

Then, as if remembering something, he tapped his finger lightly on the table, "I heard that your sister has come to England with her?" If you want, I can also invite her here and enjoy this rare joy with you......"

As soon as he heard the prince mention his sister, Charles's spirits suddenly tensed.

"No, thank you for your kindness, but no...... Your Highness, I have come to England on official business, and although I do not admit it to the outside world, it is in practice, and I am grateful to have been able to enjoy such a warm welcome from you and Your Majesty, but I cannot let my sister be disgraced by the way. At her age, she should not be involved in such an important state event, which is not good for us and for her. ”

To be honest, he was not surprised that the prince knew that his sister had also come to England, but he did not want Fran to be involved, firstly, he did not want his sister's affairs to interfere with his official affairs, and secondly, he did not like others to affect his sister.

"Oh?" When he heard Charles's serious objection, the prince blinked in surprise, as if he didn't quite understand his sudden high profile, "I really didn't expect that you would be so clear about the distinction between public and private...... Well, since you say so, then I will follow your advice, and we will not disturb her, and let her enjoy a pleasant journey. But of course you wouldn't object to us inviting her to the opening ceremony, would you? Please believe that this is just a gesture of our hospitality, without any political considerations......"

"Well, then, I thank you for her." Charles immediately agreed.

"I've taken a look at your schedule, though...... You seem to be planning to get out of here in a while? After taking another sip of tea, the prince asked again.

"Yes, as you know, I would like to go and meet my sister, who, according to the information I have received, has settled in London." Charles replied with a smile, "And you, just now, gave me a more worthy reason to see - I think." She will be as excited as I am about the continuation of our family. Of course. It's just a day, and I'll be back tomorrow. ”

"Now that I've come to England. You can go anywhere, you don't have to worry about our feelings, you don't have to change your schedule for us, you can come back whenever you want, you can see it as much as you like, and we don't have anything to hide from you anyway. Other than that...... Now that my wife isn't here, no one will call you to you on a whim. The prince waved his hand, indicating that he had no intention of embarrassing Charles because of his invitation, "You are our guest. We have no intention of restricting your freedom at all. Of course, if you need it, we can ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to provide you with a guide to make your trip easier. ”

It seems that I am really not at ease...... But what reason is there to refuse? Charles smiled bitterly inwardly.

"It would be great if that was the case. I hope it would be better to have a young and enthusiastic guide who will at least be able to get us to see enough of this great city. ”

"That's fine, I'm worried that you're used to living in Paris and don't like the city." The prince looked full of food, and stood up. He nodded with Charles with a slightly weird smile, and then suddenly lowered his voice, "Actually, as someone who grew up in Germany, that's what I thought. The weather and cities in this country always make me feel uncomfortable. I'm glad you don't have to put up with it for too long. ”

Then, laughing, he left the restaurant.

Look at the back of him leaving. Charles couldn't help but smile wryly and shook his head, before finally using his already chilling meals.

…………………………

When you're done with lunch. Charles left Buckingham Palace in a horse-drawn carriage and drove straight to Fran's hotel.

It was originally planned. He and Charlotte were also going to stay at the hotel, but due to the Queen's sudden invitation, they had to change their travel plans and return the room they had booked.

When he walked into the lively but orderly hotel lobby, Kong Ze, who had been waiting there for a long time, greeted him directly and bowed to his employer.

Charles nodded at him indifferently, then followed him up the stairs to the upper floors of the hotel.

"Is it okay when I'm not around?" When the surroundings began to become quiet, he whispered to Kong Ze next to him.

"It's alright, sir." Kong Ze replied rather implicitly, "At least, there haven't been any uncontrollable incidents yet." ”

"Huh?" Because he heard the deep meaning in Kong Ze's words, Charles couldn't help but stop and glanced at him. "Looks like you don't get along well with those two young ladies?"

"Overall, it's all good, but some places may be a little unpleasant, and it doesn't affect the task you gave me." Kong Ze's face still didn't have any expression, but there seemed to be a little more dissatisfaction in his tone, "Of course, the two of them...... Well...... The personalities are relatively stubborn, and it is reasonable that they don't listen to others. ”

"Oh, I see." Charles immediately guessed that he might have quarreled with them a few times along the way, so he patted Kong Ze on the shoulder with a sympathetic face, "It's hard for you along the way, I know they're not easy to deal with, I can't blame you." Rest assured, I will reward you for your hard work. ”

"Thank you, sir." After hearing Charles's kind words and comfort, Kong Ze felt relieved for a while.

It seems that I guessed correctly. He thought to himself.

The reason why he was so cold and blunt to these two young ladies along the way, and angered them several times, was not only because of his arrogant personality, but because he had to avoid suspicion. Because he has been an assistant to Charles for a long time, he deeply understands that if he dares to do something, it will definitely be a place to die.

Angering them might lead to retaliation, but it's better than making Mr. Treville angry.

"Alright, let's leave their affairs aside, those things ......," Charles deliberately dragged out his voice, "how is it going?" ”

"Yes sir, at least so far, I've found a few people I've known before, and they're all more than happy to serve you—or the money they're happy to offer you." Kong Ze replied calmly without any wavering, as if he was talking about something mundane, "But...... I don't think they're not enough to be entrusted with complete trust......"

"It's okay, I didn't intend to give them any trust, it's good that they can use it to get some information," Charles waved his hand nonchalantly, obviously not caring too much about the issue, "After all, we still need time to slowly cultivate people we can trust." You should also pay more attention, and if you find any good talents, please recommend them to me. ”

After hearing Charles's words, Kong Ze hung his head silently, because he thought the same thing.

As a sudden upstart, although Shire's status is high, his foundation is not very solid, and what he lacks most is a team that can be trusted and trusted.

However, this is not an insurmountable obstacle, as long as he can still entrench himself in the power field for a few more years, he will naturally be able to cultivate a group of subordinates who are attached to him and can be trusted, and this is only a matter of time.

"Alright, let's not talk about that," Charles calmed down when he reached the fourth floor, and then changed the subject, "Are the two of them still resting?" ”

"Yes, they've just finished breakfast and are still resting." Kong Ze hurriedly replied.

"Okay, then take me to Miss's room, I'm just going to see her." Charles nodded, then gestured.

"Yes, sir." Kong Ze bowed again, and led Charles down the hallway of the inn into the depths.

Without thinking about the budget, Charles booked one of the best suites in the hostel.

The members of the Tréville family deserve the best - even if she is now in some sense "guilty".

At this moment, because she had just had lunch, Fran was resting in her room.

When she heard a faint knock at the door, the maid who had brought her from home opened the door, but she did not take it seriously and continued to sleep.

In a trance, the sound of Suosuo's footsteps came to her, steady and light,

However, she suddenly felt a hand on her forehead.

Who would make such a bold move?

Don't......

Fran suddenly flashed a flash of light, and then her whole body became conscious.

Then, slowly, she opened her eyes.

That's right, the person who has been thinking about it for a long time is now standing at the head of the bed, smiling, gently stroking his forehead.

From his face, the terrible expression of that day could no longer be seen.

Fran looked at her brother steadily, perhaps because she hadn't gotten used to the glare of the eyes, and tears suddenly flowed from her eyes.

"Good afternoon, sir." (To be continued......)

PS: I can't send it all the time, what's going on...... I feel that even if I bring a group of people from the company to do it, I can make a better system......
