Chapter 98: Friends

"Countess of Savoy, she ...... It's really okay, right? At the dinner table, Aisha asked curiously and concernedly

Natsuki casually cut the steak on the plate: "Well, it's just that the journey is tiring and I need a good rest." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Aisha blinked her pretty eyes: "Oh, I heard from the maids just now, she looks so horrible when she is sick, like a ...... It's like being possessed by a demon. ”

Sophie said unceremoniously: "Hmph, how can there be any demon possession, I think it's acting at all!" Some women, when they go to a place, think not about how to survive on their own, but about trying to get the mercy and help of men. ”

This vinegar is strong enough, Xia Shu said in his heart. Women can be talentless, but they can't be narrow-minded, otherwise not only will they not be able to help them, but they will also distract men's energy and drag down men's careers.

Aisha doesn't seem to care about her sister's point of view, and it may be a bit difficult to understand at her age. She had already given up the topic to concentrate on the meal, but after a while, Sophie glanced at her a few times, and the non-toxic and harmless little white rabbit had no choice but to ask Natsuki: "How long is Countess Savoy going to live here?" If I could, I'd like to hear her talk about what Sweden is like. ”

Natsuki knew Sophie's intentions, so he replied, "I should only stay for one night and leave tomorrow." If you want to know about Sweden, the most straightforward way is to read books, and I'll ask Chris to find you a few books on the geography and history of Sweden another day, huh? ”

"Oh!" Aisha obediently answered and continued to eat quietly.

Sophie felt bored, and left the table after eating something hastily. After she left, Natsuki asked Elsa, "What is your impression of Countess Savoy?" ”

When her sister was away, Elsa showed her active cuteness, and the little white rabbit smiled and said to Natsuki, "She is a great beauty, I think there must be many people who like her, if only I could grow up like her in the future." ”

"Whether a person is beautiful or not, in addition to looking at the face and figure, words and deeds are also very important. As long as you are an elegant girl with rich connotations, you will definitely win the love of many men. Got it? Natsuki said.

"Well, I understand, you must think that your sister is not temperamental enough and not connotative enough." Aisha winked mischievously, "Don't worry, I won't tell her." ”

Natsuki smiled slightly: "Aisha must be a beloved girl in the future, right?" ”

"Of course." Aisha happily replied, "Actually...... I think I'm a beloved girl now, don't you think? ”

Infected by this childlike mentality, Natsuki temporarily put aside his tangled problems, and he winked at Elsha: "Totally agree." ”

There was shyness in Elsa's smile, and Puff Puff's face was very good-looking.

I don't know whether it was fake sleepiness or real tiredness, but the Countess of Savoy stayed at home all day, and lunch and dinner were brought into her room by the servants, and the amount of food she ate was indeed like a sick person who was not in good health. After dinner, Natsuki walked with the two Oldenburg princesses as usual, and then went back to their rooms. By the time Natsuki came to the countess's room alone, the hands of the table clock in the corner were already pointing to half past eight in the evening.

The countess, who looks and temperamentally resembles Nicole Kidman, said to Natsuki in a flattering manner that is irresistible to ordinary people: "If Your Highness doesn't come again, the water in the bathtub will be cold." ”

"It's a shame, I haven't been in the tub for weeks." Xia Shu looked at his injured leg in a plaster cast, "The doctor said that it will take at least a month to dismantle, tsk, it doesn't taste good to not be able to take a bath." ”

The Countess smiled with a curled mouth: "Your Highness has thought too much, I just hope that someone will talk to you when you are bathing, this does not contradict Your Highness's conditions, right?" ”

The atmosphere was a little weird, and Natsuki suddenly felt that he had become a half-pushed, twisted-and-done character. In the face of the noble lady who has read countless people, he seems to be a little tender.

Unlike Elsa, who blushes at the sound of compliments, the Countess is not shy even when she undresses in front of Natsuki, and when she steps into the bathtub, she deliberately reveals a mysterious and alluring landscape, the colors and shapes of which do not at all resemble those of a battle-hardened middle-aged woman. Recalling the thrill of that night, Natsuki couldn't help but suddenly think: this is really a godsend, the old Count of Sava should not have taken her for himself, and from the day they got married, the tragedy was already doomed!

Seeing that Natsuki's expression was a little strange, the countess showed a smug smile. At this time, the focus is naturally not on the bath, she is familiar with showing a variety of sultry postures, such a fragrant scene, it may be difficult for those with poor concentration to escape the fate of nosebleeds.

"I would venture to ask, His Highness seems to have a soft spot for delicate, delicate young girls?"

"Yes, not exactly." Natsuki used the Countess's previous answer, and didn't explain much later.

"Speaking of which, Oldenburg's little princess is also of this type!" The Countess closed her eyes and said, "What a good match for the little princess who is just beginning to fall in love, and who loves the handsome, noble, and excellent prince with all her heart...... Is this His Highness's backup plan? ”

Natsuki thought that he had never been a spare tire, nor had he prepared a spare tire for himself, so he replied with a clear conscience: "I only have one love, and it is impossible to share it with a second person." Elsa is an innocent and lovely girl, and I wish she could have a good belonging, but this belonging is not mine. ”

"But has Your Highness ever thought that you are a German prince and Miss Hill is an English nobleman, and that your union must be met with great resistance in the present relations between Germany and England, and that you have the confidence to break this worldly prejudice on your own?"

Natsuki didn't answer casually, but thought about it for a while, because the tone of the countess's question just now had changed a little bit from before. His instincts told him that she had worked hard for true love before she fell, but the end result had left her in complete despair.

Natsuki said: "How powerful the power of the world is, so that countless people have given up their original insistence, but I still want to be with her wholeheartedly, it seems naΓ―ve, right?" ”

The Countess rolled over and leaned on the edge of the barrel, quietly listening to Natsuki.

"A person who lives a meaningful life should have his own dreams and pursuits, and make unremitting efforts to achieve them. When I was sure that she was the only one in my life, I could already anticipate many difficulties and obstacles in my future, and the more I did, the stronger my desire to fight, just like the soldier's belief that I would either win or fall on the road to victory. ”

"Going back to your original question, is the delicate, delicate young girl the type I have a soft spot for, and only when you meet her, at that moment, will you know what type you like. Judging from the conditions, she and I belong to different countries, different nationalities and even different religious sects, we have different educations, we have developed different habits of thinking, and this kind of pairing is simply terrible. However, love is so wonderful that it can even be said to be unreasonable. By the time you come to your senses, there are only two paths left in front of you: either persevere, or give up. ”

Speaking of which, Natsuki stopped. After waiting for a while, seeing that Natsuki didn't look like she was taking a break halfway, the countess looked a little stunned, and she said in a low tone: "Two paths, you chose to persevere." ”

Xia Shuqiang smiled: "For me, if I can stick to such a thing in my life, I have no regrets until I die." ”

At this time, he saw that the countess's bright eyes slowly dimmed, and the whole person was in a trance and whispered the words just now: "Stick to one thing in your life, and you will have no regrets until you die......"

Some truths are easier said than done, seeing the countess muttering to herself, a dazzling thought suddenly appeared in Xia Shu's head: Is he really determined enough to fight against the powerful world, even if his head is broken and bleeding?

Suddenly my mind became tangled.

Natsuki silently turned his wheelchair and left the bathroom without saying a word, moving to the window of the countess's bedroom, looking out at the night, his mind full of reverie, until a faint fragrance brought him back to reality from his state of distraction. I saw the Countess sitting on the edge of the bed, wiping her hair with a dry towel, her bathrobe neatly dressed, and her white face flushed with a glow from the bath......

After wiping her hair, the countess looked at Natsuki with a smile on her face, her eyes full of love, but there was a kind of misalignment.

"Your Royal Highness Prince Joachim of Prussia, you are a young and handsome royal genius in the eyes of the world, and people think that you should live in glory and pride, carefree, but they do not know that you also have troubles that are difficult to resolve. To be honest, when I first heard the story of you and Miss Hill, I thought you were just trying to feel new, and when you got tired of it, you would naturally give up on this inconclusive relationship. ”

Natsuki smiled slightly bitterly: "Persistence or escape is only a thought, but the whole life in the future will take a completely different path." I hope that when I am old, I will be able to hold hands with the person I have truly loved all my life and watch the sunset. ”

The countess lowered her gaze to the ground, this was the first time Natsuki had seen her so cold and arrogant. After a while, she raised her head and said to Natsuki, "I used to be as determined to stick to love as you did, but unfortunately it backfired. You can't turn back the clock, but I sincerely wish you, Your Royal Highness, I hope you can stay together. ”

Natsuki nodded at her, "Thank you, Countess. ”

The Countess smiled and said, "If you want to consider me a friend, call me Amy!" ”

Natsuki said, "Well, rest early, Amy!" ”

The Countess hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Your Highness, you ...... Can you be him once? Just this night, just once, hugged me to sleep. ”

Before Natsuki could say anything, the countess quickly explained, "It's just a simple hug, I promise to abide by our trading agreement, and I will never reveal anything to outsiders." All right? ”

Natsuki looked at her seriously, and there was no **** in her eager eyes.

After weighing it again, Natsuki agreed. With the help of the countess, he went to bed.

In the darkness, she slipped into his arms and turned around, letting Natsuki hold her from behind.

It was still in that era, and Natsuki also liked to hug his lover like this, and he felt very happy.

"It's nice to hold you, Amy." Natsuki whispered softly.

In the darkness, a crystal tear slipped from the corner of her eye, slid across her face, and disappeared into her golden sideburns.

The next morning, in front of the castle gate, the Countess of Savoy was still the same beautiful and arrogant woman in a black hat and black dress, her expression was solemn, but she did not see the pale of sorrow, and the light of her eyes was noticeably clearer.

"I think she really loves you." Before saying goodbye, Countess Sava said to Natsuki alone, "Now, the Hill family is ready to marry her to an English nobleman, who cannot be compared to you in any way, but who comes from a very prominent aristocratic family, the Wellington family. If the leader of House Hill is bent on bringing about a marriage between the two parties, you need to think of a way to do it as soon as possible. ”

It was very bad news for Natsuki, but he didn't look flustered. He leaned over and kissed the back of the countess's hand: "Thank you, countess. ”

Boarding the carriage, she looked back at Natsuki and smiled: "Well, goodbye, His Royal Highness Joachim, Prince of Prussia." ”

"Farewell, beautiful Countess of Savoy, my friend." Natsuki waved his hand.

Looking at the black carriage gradually moving away, Natsuki thought to herself: she may choose a lifestyle of self-respect and self-love in the future, but it is difficult for the dead heart to be resurrected, and this truth is the same for herself.
