Chapter 76: Just Because of You

Dear Miss Charlotte Hill,

The weather has warmed up here, but is England still as humid and cold as it is now?

Today, our Naval Academy football team played a naval league against a battleship, most of them stokers, extremely strong, and a few big men of 1.9 meters. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info As always, we won with delicate technique, and with six games remaining, our team is in third place in the first division of the Navy League, only two games away from first place, and the point difference lost due to the voyage training is being recovered step by step. It would be perfect to make up for the regret of not winning the championship last year before graduation.

I'm about to graduate, and my companions have all sorts of plans for their future, and I, speaking from the bottom of my heart, hope to be a veteran, good naval commander like Duke Hill. In fact, I did not become a soldier for the sake of fighting, but to protect my homeland and defend peace, and then pursue the honor of belonging to a soldier, and the highly decorated Hill family must have been in the army for generations for this purpose!

Looking back, time flies, we have known each other for four years and two months, and it has been almost two years since Tulip came to Germany. Thanks to Louise's careful care, he has grown into a sturdy and beautiful horse, running faster than most horses of his age. From the clear eyes of its eyes, we can see that it still misses its owner deeply, so we warmly invite you to travel to Germany at any suitable time, and we are waiting for your reply.

Once again, my best wishes to you and your family.

Remembering you Joachim in a dream

Under the softly lit lamp, Natsuki signed the delicate letterhead, meticulously folded it and put it in an envelope. Looking up, I glimpsed the clip-on photo frame on the table, on the left is a recent photo of my sister Louise, and on the right is a bust of Charlotte sent by last year, their youthful and beautiful faces and elegant temperament make people can't help but envy the Creator's preference, but they have a completely different charm in comparison. Staring at the picture of Ito for a moment, Natsuki's heart moved, and he pulled out the box containing each of Charlotte's letters from the drawer, and the last one he received was signed on Christmas Eve. Looking at Juanxiu's handwriting, I feel warm, Hongyan conveys a growing friendship, but when I think about it, I haven't received a new letter for more than 40 days, what happened?

Last fall, her family sent Charlotte to Elizabeth College in London, an aristocratic school for girls in the United Kingdom, for a two-year residency. Through the exchange of letters, Natsuki felt that Charlotte did not like college life, and in fact, the goal of such an aristocratic school was to cultivate ladies who knew etiquette, behaved appropriately, and were well-behaved and obedient, so that they could adapt to the role of women in high society in advance. In my impression, Charlotte is a smart and clever girl, she is full of curiosity and desire for knowledge, and she has a personality that does not admit defeat in her bones, maybe she has always wanted to prove herself in some way, and it is certain that this way is not to marry into a wealthy family and become a husband and child.

Even though there are no male students and almost no male faculty members at the women's college, that doesn't mean Natsuki can rest easy. After all, it is London, the political, economic, and trade center of the world in this era, and it is not surprising to see the heads of royal families and dignitaries of any country here, and in addition to the chance encounters when going out, the classmates of the women's college may also act as matchmakers for nothing, which are all potential factors that cause accidents.

Marriage is not his main goal at this stage, Natsuki knows this, but Charlotte such an otherworldly girl can not be met anytime and anywhere, in the royal and aristocratic circles of various German states, there is almost no woman of appropriate age that Natsuki can look at.

Procrastination is a taboo, and Natsuki decides to go on a trip himself.

As graduation approached, the naval cadets were busy with their dissertations, and whether or not they could hand in an excellent, even highly acclaimed dissertation, was directly related to their future in the German Navy, and as a member of the imperial family and a superstar among the cadets of the same class, Natsuki had no worries about this, and he had already co-authored and completed the "Research and Development Prospects of Torpedo Weapons and Vehicles" with Christian, which was published in the Navy's internal journal and received the expected high praise.

With no academic concerns, Natsuki soon embarked on a journey to London, and his hardcore partner, Alden Prince Christian, was very eager to join the support group, but Natsuki wanted to keep a low profile in his emotional affairs, so he did not involve Christian in any way except to inform his whereabouts.

After more than ten years of pampering, Xia Shu's ability to live independently in his previous life does not seem to have seriously deteriorated. Arriving in London alone, he settled himself in a comfortable place and hired a taxi to Elizabeth College. With its white vine-clad walls, grand Victorian-style buildings, wide and clean carriage roads, and lush woods and shrubs, Natsuki's appearance is naturally reminiscent of the Harry Potter School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

As Natsuki had expected, strict access control prevented unapproved outsiders from entering the academy and allowed boarding students to go out at will, and he tried to bribe the janitor to pass on the word on his behalf, only to be blasted out by the old-fashioned, impersonal guy.

Unable to do so, Natsuki found a café near the academy and sat down, drinking coffee and asking the waiter about the academy. The waiter was an Englishman with brown hair and a nose, who looked a little older than him, and was of decent appearance and plump figure. It's just past lunchtime, there are few customers in the store, and seeing that Natsuki is handsome and capable, she not only has to answer questions, but also has a provocative meaning in her charming smile. Natsuki had no interest in her people, only the information she provided: the aristocratic academy only accepted girls from aristocratic and wealthy families, and the number of students never exceeded 1,000, and it was divided into classes according to their age and background, with only a small part of the intellectual curriculum, most of which was spent training manners, cultivating sentiments, and imparting communication skills to the upper class.

In addition to theoretical studies, the college also hosts a number of social banquets, to which only socialites of excellent repute are invited. On the one hand, students can feel and adapt to the atmosphere of the upper class through such banquets, exercise their social skills and accumulate social experience. On the other hand, many people also want to meet their ideal partner through this opportunity. After the initial affection, most people will get to know each other by letter, and when the time is right, they will go to each other's appointments, and occasionally they will hit it off, and the lady will end her studies early and hold a wedding, which is normal - as for the abnormal situation, the waitress will give some hints that are easy to reverie.

The Hill family is a pure British aristocracy with a long and glorious naval background, and the elders certainly hope that Charlotte's marriage will be a good match or even a higher level. With only a limited amount of time and correspondence, Natsuki has no way of judging her attitude towards relationships and marriage, maybe she has a clear idea, or maybe she is as reluctant to think about it as early as Louise. No matter which one the actual situation is, under the premise that he and Charlotte have never determined their relationship, the future is infinite.

Sitting in the café from noon to evening, Natsuki didn't see a single student go out, nor did he meet the staff inside the academy, so he didn't think he would have a chance to come in the evening. He settled the bill and prepared to leave, and the bar-waiter, a handsome blonde young man, who had received a 20p tip, revealed to him that the college boilermen would go to a nearby tavern every day after their evening shift for a few drinks, and for a little money they would be taken through the back door to the college boiler room, which was just a stone's throw from the student dormitory, and that was how some of them met their little lovers.

With the right click, the rest is easy. Without a clever twist, Natsuki bought off the college boilermaker for just £5. In the small pantry with unsatisfactory conditions, he waited for nearly half an hour with some apprehension, and then, Charlotte Hill, dressed in student attire, appeared.

"A big surprise!" Natsuki smiled and spread his hands, but there was no smile on Charlotte's small and handsome face, and his indifferent eyes made him feel a chill in his heart, and his steps towards the other party couldn't help but slow down, and finally stopped at a distance of three steps.

Facing the other party's cold face, Natsuki felt that the smile on his face was already very unnatural, and he asked calmly, "What's wrong?" ”

Charlotte stared at him directly, and said coldly: "His Royal Highness Prince Joachim, you mentioned the scenery in Sweden and your old friends there in your letter, but you deliberately concealed your special experience there, right?" It's amazing, it's ecstasy, isn't it? ”

Hearing this, Natsuki was taken aback: how could she know that she had had a one-night stand with the Countess of Savoy?

Without waiting for Natsuki to think clearly, Charlotte continued to say in a cold sentence comparable to a skate: "In Karlskrona, Sweden, there is a mermaid who captivates the country and the city, and she attracts every handsome young man who passes by with her charming dance, and the number of people who fall at her feet is countless, some of them are gentlemen and nobles, some are captains and seamen, and some noble princes, such as ...... The German prince who is known as the genius of Hohenzollern, His Royal Highness Joachim! ”

Xia Shu's face was red and white for a while, and he was clever and eloquent, and he had nothing to say at this time.

"Your Royal Highness Prince Joachim, it is your freedom to be romantic, but please stay away from people like you!"

Leaving behind this cold, resolute severance of relations, Charlotte glanced at Natsuki contemptuously, and resolutely turned to leave. Natsuki came to his senses from his deep shock and wanted to take it back, but he took a step slowly. At the door of the boiler room, the stoker who led him in blocked his way: "Hey, man, you don't want to go into the police station, I don't want to lose my job, so stop here!" ”

Looking at Charlotte's figure that quickly disappeared into the night, Xia Shu's heart was empty, he had never felt like this in his life, and his thoughts were also chaotic: Who is to blame for this? The "**** girl" who suffered a thousand cuts? Maybe Gustav has a deep heart? Was it an accident, or was it someone on purpose?

Sent out the back door of the academy by the stoker, Natsuki walked alone on the silent street, and the cold night breeze made him quickly calm his mind. The most important thing now is not to pursue the complex and distant truth of events, but how to deal with his relationship with Charlotte Hill. If you choose not to act, it means giving up, and you will see it as a regrettable dream, and when you wake up, you are still the optimistic German prince, and only family, friendship and career are left in your life.

If you want to redeem it, you must regain Charlotte's favor with honesty and perseverance.

Give up or redeem?

This seemed to be a tangled question, and when she stopped in the wind, Natsuki suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly: she was able to show up to meet because she cared; She was indifferent, she was resentful, and she left without looking back, also because she cared. Since they care about each other, how can they give up easily because of an accident?
