Chapter 61: The Beautiful Woman
Twenty minutes later, the two refreshed princes walked out of the hotel. www.biquge.info As the so-called people rely on clothes and horses and saddles, wearing the white summer dress of the captain of the Royal Swedish Navy, his temperament is N grades higher than the previous sailor attire. Although their faces were too immature and their bodies were not strong enough, this was not a reason to question their status as military officers - in monarchies, people who received high titles at a young age usually had good backgrounds, which is an inherent convenience.
Getting into the car, Natsuki asked Gustav: "The clothes prepared for us fit well, they won't be ordered in advance, right?" β
The Swedish prince smiled and shook his head.
Natsuki was curious and a little apprehensive. After all, the technical information of the new Swedish cruiser was obtained through Gustav's entourage, and it was difficult to ensure that everyone attending the meeting of the German Admiralty would be tight-lipped, and if the news reached Gustav's ears, his character would not give up easily.
The two lights of the "Lion-Sign" are placed at the base of the windshield, which is too high and has limited brightness to be suitable for night driving, but fortunately, the road up the hill is relatively smooth and there are no other vehicles along the way. With the roar of the twin-cylinder engine, the car finally drove into the manor, which was built halfway up the mountain. It occupies a small area, and the courtyard is crowded with cars and carriages, and the cheerful music and the sounds of men and women laughing and talking come from the brightly lit building, reflecting the quiet atmosphere outside.
"Where is this?" Natsuki asked calmly.
Gustav replied in an elusive tone: "Where every man who comes to Karlskrona should be." β
With that, the Swedish prince strode towards the gate, as if he did not want to wait outside for a second longer.
Natsuki and Christian looked at each other, suspicious as they followed Gustav.
Under the well-shaped porch stood a white-haired waiter, and when Gustav came to him, his little eyes narrowed with a smile: "Aha, Your Royal Highness, you are a little late today!" Are these two your friends? Your friend is also a guest of Savoyard, welcome both! β
It seems that Gustav is a regular visitor here, Natsuki thought to himself. What exactly is this Sava Paradise? The name sounds like a high-class red light district with a Swedish character? You won't really take us to the kiln! In our previous life, we were a little down, but we have also opened buds, broken places, and enjoyed the days of night and night, and in this life, the heart is high, the ambition is far, and the shell is not fully ripe, so it is always in the middle of the flowers, and the leaves do not stick to the body.
Gustav casually threw a gold coin over, and the old waiter smiled and put away the tip, turned and walked to the door and pushed it hard, and the double door slowly opened. The lively atmosphere and strong fragrances are blowing in the face, the yellow lights illuminate the golden halls, and the smooth floors reflect the bright figures. In the center of the hall is a circular fountain with a statue of the goddess, and on the wall facing the gate is a painting from the Sistine Chapel dome "Genesis", surrounded by white horses, lions, goats and other animals, which is the source of human life in the Bible, the paradise of Eden.
Seeing that everyone here was dressed decently, Natsuki understood why Gustav had made it so that he and Christian had deliberately dressed in formal dresses. However, Natsuki soon noticed that not only did there be no waiter serving drinks on such a high-end occasion, but there was no live band, and the music came from a gramophone with a large horn. No phonograph can provide a realistic enough sound quality, and it's clear that people don't come here to enjoy the musical atmosphere β the hall is surrounded by long tables with a wide variety of drinks and refreshments, thick-walled whiskey glasses, brandy glasses with large mouths, tulip-shaped champagne glasses, and big-bellied wine glasses...... The dazzling array of wine glasses and the different colors of liquor in the glasses tell Natsuki that wine may not be the only theme of this banquet, but it must play a very important role.
Gustav took himself a glass of whiskey, a high wine that he never touched, and he and Christian each chose a glass of champagne and followed Gustav into the hall. In his own country, the status of a prince should be noble, but the presence of Gustav did not have a noticeable effect on the atmosphere here, and few people flocked to pay their respects. The men here range from handsome young men to mature uncles, some wear naval dresses from different countries, some are senior seafarer attire such as captains and first mates, and the rest are also dressed in classy and tasteful clothing. Most of the ladies looked like young women, wearing gorgeous long dresses and bright jewelry, all of them wearing heavy makeup and flattery. For those who are in a relaxed manner, Gustav also toasts them in a casual manner, and introduces them to Natsuki and Christian as "my friend".
Natsuki could tell that the Swedish prince was consciously searching for someone, and when his languid demeanor transient, he could find a blonde woman in a long blue dress. This blue is not ordinary sky blue, sea blue, but the purest sapphire blue; This gold is also very common golden brown and golden gray, but spotless gold. She turned around gracefully, holding a wine glass and dragging the corners of her skirt, and walked with a cold and proud style. Looking at that face, Natsuki was amazed - could it be Nicole. Sister Kidman also crossed over? (Actually, Nicole's natural hair color is red, and the day after tomorrow it is dyed pure gold)
On the screen, Nicole in her forties. Kidman is still peerless and glamorous, and Natsuki's eyes, who is at most in her early thirties, has the charm, charm and bewitchment that she should have. Before the people approached, Xia Shu had already smelled a strange fragrance, it was like an orchid on the side of the courtyard wall, elegant and mysterious, and like a wild rose on the side of the road, fragrant and sultry.
"Amy!"
Gustav called the other man's name in a rare gentle tone, and his upright stance appeared energetic. When the tall, curvy blonde stunner raised his hand, he couldn't wait to kiss his hand.
His gaze swept over the young faces of Natsuki and Christian, the bewitching woman raised her eyebrows slightly, and Gustav introduced as if she had telepathy, and said without hesitation: "Let me introduce you, the one on the left is the famous His Royal Highness Joachim, and the one on the right is His Royal Highness Christian." β
"Famous", this simple prefix, the relationship between primary and secondary is already clear.
"Amy is the most beautiful woman in Karlskrona and the most charming flower in our Sweden." Gustav used two "most" to introduce the blonde woman, which shows how much weight she has in his mind.
The blonde woman dragged the hem of her skirt with both hands, greeted the two princes from Germany with traditional ladylike etiquette, and then said in a rather magnetic female voice: "I have heard the names of the two highnesses for a long time, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to leave here, and I have not been able to witness the heroic appearance of your highnesses. β
Nicole Kidman-esque blonde white girl is the dream girl of many men, in this era when media information is not very developed, such a beautiful woman can make men fall madly under her pomegranate skirt, but Natsuki's vision is not comparable to this group of vulgar people, he said lightly: "Your Excellency speaks German very well. β
The woman replied with a smile: "It is a great honour to receive the compliment of His Highness, in fact, I am of a quarter of German ancestry, and my grandmother is German and comes from Dresden." β
"That's a blessing!" Natsuki's expression and eyes remained calm.
Probably the usual strategy of wanting to get away with it, the blonde stunner turned to Christian and praised Prince Oldenburg for his handsomeness, masculinity, and wisdom with honey-like rhetoric. It's a pity that this little boy who has just started to love is much more dedicated than adults, and his calm style is the same as Natsuki.
The two German princes were given a cold reception, but the beautiful woman called "Amy" by Gustav was neither angry nor angry. Tired of men's admiration and compliments, or with other ideas, she always maintained a warm smile on her face, and thus showed the special charm of cold temperament and hot style, and Gustav seemed to have been carried away by it.
"It is rare to invite two princes as heroic as our Royal Highness Gustav, and although my wine here is not as good as the royal cuisine, it is better than the atmosphere of unrestrained and indiscriminate between them. Come, let's raise a glass to today's encounter! β
With a smile of all her faces, the woman raised her glass, amber brandy flowing through her red lips, and tilted her head sideways to show her long eyelashes to the young of the opposite sex.
Gustav drank half a glass of whisky, and a pure brew of around 40 degrees was just an aperitif for him.
Natsuki and Christian took their usual sip, and the blonde woman held up her empty glass and looked straight at them.
"I'm sorry, but we can't drink enough, and His Highness Gustav knows this very well." Natsuki shrugged.
Gustav did not defend them, nor did he side with the woman to drink. In order to dispel this awkward atmosphere, the woman invited Gustav to take the two distinguished guests around, and before parting, she threw a smile at Natsuki. For ordinary men, most of them would be dizzy when they were teased like this, but Xia Shu was very vigilant: How can any old cow eat this high-quality young grass that has never budded!
At the behest of the blonde woman, Gustav did not really think of himself as an outsider, he took a glass of brandy, led the two German princes from the hall to the corridor, tasted wine and admired the hanging paintings and ornaments, and then went from room to room to visit the collection. After spending more than a decade at the royal court, Natsuki's discernment is not what it used to be, and most of the antique objects here are exquisite imitations, and occasionally a few are genuine, and they are not rare or rare. Wandering aimlessly, Natsuki became more and more curious about the real purpose of Gustav bringing him here. Is it just to see the beautiful women of this northern land?
Seeing Natsuki winking at him, Christian rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch, and said, "Aha, time flies so fast, it's almost 9 o'clock in a flash." β
Gustav turned his head to look at the two German princes, who were several years younger than him, and said disappreciatively: "Don't worry, it will take you at most twenty minutes to get back to the dock from here." β
Natsuki didn't refute the other party's face, and after a while, the music outside seemed to have changed a little. Gustav raised his eyebrows: "Let's go, it's time for the really exciting show to begin, guaranteed to open your eyes." β
By the time they reached the cloister on the second floor of the hall, the melodies had been replaced by cheerful beats, and the guests who had been scattered in twos and threes had gathered around the fountain pool, and the one resembled Nicole. Kidman's blonde stunner wasn't present.
"You're going to see some of the most glamorous dancers in the world, and you're going to see absolutely unique dancers." Gustav said this with a smug look.
Not only the atmosphere, but Natsuki realized that the atmosphere in the hall had also changed a little from beforeβthe aroma of wine had overshadowed the smell of perfume on people's bodies, and many empty wine glasses had appeared on the long wooden table.
After a while, accompanied by the enthusiastic cheers of the male guests, she, the blonde stunner with a seductive aura, walked along the central axis of the hall towards the fountain pool. At this moment, she changed from a blue enchantress to a fiery rose, her layered dance skirt and bright headscarf made her hot, a pair of red high heels stepped on a heart-pounding rhythm, and her haughty and cold expression brought her allure to the extreme. Before the dance began, the male guests were already dazzled and fascinated, and even the female guests present looked intently at this unique dancer.
The attendants replaced the film on the gramophone, and before the passionate flamenco melody was heard, the whole hall seemed to stand still, the male and female guests held their breath, and the bewitching fiery roses were frozen in a graceful and arrogant posture. At the beginning of the dance music, her pace is slow, graceful movements, with the change of music, she uses the dance posture to show enthusiasm, unrestrained, graceful, vigorous characteristics, when she high-fives with her hands, with her feet on the ground, the atmosphere of the scene is completely mobilized, male and female guests dance together to the beat, intoxicated expressions appear on every face here.
A hundred years later, flamenco is known for its European glamour and American exuberance, and is the darling of mainstream dance, but in Natsuki's era, its popularity is limited to the Andalusian region of Spain. Here, far from the heart of Europe, Sweden, well-informed seafarers and swaggering Nordics ignored this prejudice and fell in love with the passionate flamenco music, and they were struck by the graceful and hot dance of the proud dancers. At the moment when the music stopped abruptly, the beautiful figure of the blonde beauty was fixed on the most beautiful shape, and the audience was silent. After a few moments, everyone cheered as if they had just woken up from a dream, and expressed their joy by raising a glass of wine. It was one drink, another drink, two drinks, and three drinks......
