Chapter 10: Affection
Dreams, sometimes blurry, sometimes clear. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Under the bright sunshine, the young mother bent over and stretched out her arms, her face filled with a kind and beautiful smile - "Natsuki, Natsuki, come to Mommy!" Come on! ”
In the auditorium, the principal, who is always in the image of three sevens and a white shirt, holds a bright red certificate - "Let's welcome Xia Shu, a student from the second class of the third year, to the stage to receive the award!" ”
The short-haired girl dressed in a group of blue flowers bowed her head shyly - "Natsuki, I'm glad to be friends with you!" ”
Lots of familiar and friendly faces clapped their hands with sincere smiles and sang - "Happy birthday to you!" Happy birthday to you! ”
On the blue and yellow bald field, the young figure is running after the wind - "passing...... Oh yes! Natsuki! Pretty! ”
On the solemn podium, the white-haired old man made a high-spirited speech - "Students, today, you are proud of the Ship Academy; Tomorrow, the Ship Academy will be proud of you! ”
The breeze blows the curtains, and the people next to the pillow are more delicate than flowers - "Xia Shu, from today onwards, I will be yours, no matter rich or poor, sick or healthy, you must never give up!" ”
In the office filled with the scent of sandalwood, a look of regret was squeezed out on his shiny face - "Comrade Xia Shu, the leader is still very sure of your work, but you are still young, don't rush, take your time, the future will definitely belong to you young people......"
The small world full of models, the woman's face was full of displeasure - "What should I say about you, Natsuki, this is all Bensan, you should be a little self-motivated!" Xiaoling's husband has been promoted to a deputy department, and he is also a man, and the difference is too big! This time, you have to be active, otherwise you will definitely not. I know that it's boring to fiddle with these children's toys all day long! ”
The parents are old, the temples are gray, the smile is still kind, and the eyes are full of anticipation......
……
“Dersommerbaum~Dersommerbaum~Dersommerbaumstehenindenwind!”
The light and sweet singing voice is like a fluttering fairy music in the depths of a dream, and Natsuki suddenly became a thriller in his confusion. Dersommerbaum, also known as "Natsuki" in German, is a code name, but this simple character is engraved with indelible memories. Since there is no one to tell the secrets that transcend time and space, Natsuki writes a song for himself to the tune of "The Lemon Tree", at first just humming it himself, and later, the little princess of Germany, the sister of Prince Joachim, the clever and clever Victoria. Louise thought the song was very good, so she often hummed along.
When he opened his eyes, Natsuki saw that lively and lovely familiar face, and his playful expression made him let go of the mind in his heart, and an indescribable sense of intimacy surged in his heart.
"You just seem to have a nightmare, and your brows are furrowed like this......" The little beauty in the prime of cardamom squeezed her eyebrows with her fingers and made a very funny expression.
"Oh yes?" Natsuki smiled slightly, raised his right hand, bent his index finger, and scratched the tip of the other's cute nose.
As the only daughter of Kaiser Wilhelm II and a priceless treasure of the German royal family, Victoria. Princess Louise was not hiding or annoyed, she pulled her brother's right arm with both hands and pulled it up: "Get up!" The party is all underway! ”
"I've slept for so long?" Natsuki muttered as he lazily got up from the sofa and scratched his head.
"Oops, my hair is messed up!" The beautiful little princess said angrily, and she asked her brother to stand in front of her, stood on her tiptoes, and used her fingers to straighten his hair.
"How blessed is it for anyone to marry our ingenious and gentle little Victoria!" Natsuki said with his head down.
The little princess disagreed: "Who can marry our all-knowing and all-powerful Prince Joachim is truly happy!" ”
The brother and sister teased each other without hesitation, and then walked to the banquet hall arm in arm. As the most important annual celebration of the German Navy, the Kiel Naval Harbour Festival usually lasts for a week. During this period, there were not only public open days for naval vessels, but also transnational naval exchanges and joint exercises. Of course, a navy-themed banquet is a must. The German royal family has a palace in Kiel, out of the importance of naval development, Kaiser Wilhelm II has to stay here for some time every year, and in the middle of summer, he will take his family to the sea to escape the heat, and this palace on the coast of the North Sea is not as magnificent and luxurious as the Berlin Imperial Palace and the summer palace, and the modern style of architecture shows the ambition of a great country: the use of electric lighting of the huge crystal chandeliers, the fine and meticulous fiberglass sculptures, the enamel hardware, everywhere shows the first-class technical strength of the industrial power!
Seeing the golden boy and girl of the German royal family walking down the spiral staircase together, the guests in the main hall greeted them with etiquette in line with their status. To attend such an occasion, the unique little princess of the German royal family chose a white long gauze skirt, and a string of slender pearl necklaces as accessories, stepping on a pair of low-heeled leather boots, elegant but not tacky, noble but not arrogant, just right to set off the youthful temperament of this age, and the standard pebble face, willow-like eyebrows, watery eyes, plus a slender nose bridge, well-proportioned lips and golden-brown small wavy curls, such a beauty embryo is the focus of people's eyes wherever she goes!
If you put Victoria. Princess Louise was likened to an elegantly scented magnolia, and Prince Joachim, who was two years her senior, was left with the impression of a red pine. Unlike the vast majority of German aristocratic youths, he was not keen on the ornate garments, sometimes neat and crisp soldier's dresses, sometimes smart riders' shorts, and sometimes simple black tuxedos. The simpler the outfit, the more it can bring out the extraordinaryness of this royal boy, his calm manners, good posture, proper speech, rich connotation, profound knowledge and wise mind make everyone who has had in-depth contact with him admire.
"Ah...... Your Royal Highness, Princess Louise, your presence always makes me see the angelic light! You are so beautiful that even the most brilliant gems will be eclipsed in front of you......"
This greasy flattery came from a tall young man dressed in the dress of the British Royal Navy, and when the German princess raised her right hand out of courtesy, he couldn't wait to kiss it, his face full of intoxication.
My Fair Lady is a gentleman, and although Princess Louise is underage, her prominent birth and delicate appearance have given her a large group of admirers. It's just that the British officer in front of her is fifteen years older than her, and even if he has a good family background, he is not worthy of his sister at all in Natsuki's opinion. What's more, in ten years, Yingde will become opponents, in order not to let her sister become a widow at a young age, Natsuki hopes that she will stay away from those young people who serve in the British army. Out of love for his sister, Natsuki stepped forward to block the flattering "older youth": "Hey, Major Brown, long time no see, how are you doing?" ”
"Oh, my honorable prince, please forgive me for being overly focused...... Thank you for your regards, I have just been promoted and am now the youngest Lieutenant and First Officer of an Armoured Ship in the Royal Navy, and my next goal is to become the youngest Battleship Commander in the Royal Navy. The British officer replied triumphantly.
Well, becoming the first mate of a second-class ship at the age of less than thirty years old is indeed not bad in the talented and competitive Royal Navy, but it is still a scum in Natsuki's eyes. He didn't care about talking nonsense with the other party, and directly grabbed Princess Louise's arm: "I have a chance to talk again, I'm out of company!" ”
After taking a few steps, the princess whispered in Natsuki's ear, "I really don't like this guy!" ”
"Uh-huh, you can be your uncle at this age." Natsuki said something through her lips as she smiled at the other guests.
"Speaking of age, the lady who was eager to die for you last time seems to be catching up with Aunt Frank!" Don't look at Princess Louise's standard ladylike appearance, she likes to follow Natsuki's ass since she was a child, and her words and deeds are not less influenced by this maverick brother.
"Spare me!" The corners of Xia Shu's mouth squeezed out a wry smile that could not be looked back, "Her face is full of powder and can be shaken down to make a pot of paste soup." ”
The princess pursed her lips and smiled, shrugging her shoulders slightly, and she would have laughed so hard that she would not have been able to laugh straight up if it had not been for a public occasion.
Natsuki himself laughed, he liked to talk and tease with Louise like this, without any scruples about his image or the care of getting along with men and women, and he was at ease.
In the halls of Kiel's Palace, more than half of the hundreds of male guests attending the banquet were wearing naval uniforms. Although Natsuki is not yet an official naval officer, he has been active in such occasions for a long time, and he can recognize many familiar faces, whether it is British white or German blue. Soon he noticed that the commander of the British visiting fleet, Duke Hill, and his son, Commodore Hill, were both very burly and strong-looking, and that such a rugged man had married a beautiful wife, the Duchess, who was over fifty years old, and still gave people a sense of dignified beauty, and the Commodore Lady was even more beautiful and charming.
For Prince Joachim, who is only 14 years old, these two senior beauties have nothing to do with him. The first time he met a leading member of the Hill family in England, he was met by Charlotte, the daughter of Brigadier General Hill and granddaughter of the Duke. Hill was intrigued. The beautiful Charlotte is the same age as Princess Louise, and she gives Natsuki the feeling of Hermione in Harry Potter, simple, innocent, playful, especially the innocent look on her face is particularly cute. Over the next year or so, Natsuki met Charlotte twice more on different occasions, and his affection continued unabated—but not for life. First, in the limited contact between the two sides, Charlotte did not show an obvious good impression of herself, and secondly, the so-called eighteen changes of the female college, in case today's lovely children show more paternal genes in a few years, the beautiful little fairy will become a salted fish.
For a typical member of the Appearance Association, this risk has to be guarded against.
Since the British fleet's visit was a more formal diplomatic act, the Duke and Commodore Hill did not bring their families with them, Charlotte. Hill's beautiful face naturally won't appear in front of Natsuki. The little prince of Germany greeted the Hill father and son politely, and judging from their attitudes, words and deeds, no matter how famous the "Hohenzollern genius" was in Germany, in the eyes of the arrogant British, it was still impossible to escape the rigidity and rudeness of the Germans.
