Chapter 464: The so-called love

"Is there something urgent about Her Royal Highness Princess's visit so late?"

Natsuki said as he leaned sideways and gave in to the other party. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Despite the hints, Princess Mary smiled and walked into the room with graceful and light steps.

Out of politeness, Natsuki closes the door, but always keeps a distance of more than three steps from the other party to avoid some embarrassing accidents.

"I was so stuffy that I couldn't sleep, so I came to chat with His Highness, I shouldn't have disturbed His Highness, right?"

He said this after entering the door, clearly not giving Natsuki a chance to refuse. However, having the opportunity to chat privately with the eldest princess of the British Empire is not necessarily a bad thing in Natsuki's current position, and it may be possible to obtain some valuable information in the conversation.

"It is a great honor for Your Highness to be able to think like this."

"After a few days of contact, everyone thinks that His Highness is a wise and very interesting person, but my conversation with His Highness is always very small, like a stranger greeting a stranger, I wonder if His Highness has a prejudice against me, or is he worried about something?" As the eldest princess Mary spoke, her eyes wandered around the room, as if she was purposefully searching for some clues, and as if she was speculating about Natsuki's habits, her gaze finally rested on the open window and the ashtray placed by the window.

"It seems that His Highness also has something on his mind?"

Natsuki is well aware of women's perceptiveness, and he replied vaguely, "It's just a long night, just a boring cigarette!" ”

Princess Mary smiled back: "If I'm not mistaken, Your Highness should be missing Miss Hill, right?" ”

Natsuki didn't deliberately avoid the other party's gaze, these eyes are not pretty, but they belong to a girl in the flowering season after all, with rare sincerity and clarity in her eyes, as well as hot, unscrupulous emotions.

In a flash, Natsuki swallowed the words he wanted to say, and said frankly: "Yes, the princess guessed right. ”

Eldest Princess Mary's eyes widened suddenly, it was clear that she didn't expect Natsuki to really admit this.

It seems that his meeting with Charlotte that night has successfully misled the British, and thinking of this, Natsuki regrets his impulsiveness just now.

But the eldest princess Mary showed no signs of anger or jealousy, and she asked, "So, has His Highness always loved her deeply?" ”

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but that's a difficult question to answer." On the topic of personal feelings, Natsuki does have enough reasons to refuse to answer.

The eldest princess sat down in the chair by the window, straightened her upper body, and put her hands on her knees: "Oh, it seems that this is a topic that His Highness is not willing to talk about, what a pity, I would have liked to hear the legendary story of His Highness who flew the plane and borrowed Miss Hill!" ”

This guy has obviously put on a posture of listening to stories, and he looks innocent, can he refuse?

"We were all very young that year." Natsuki said, "Relations between England and Germany are tense, and the Hill family doesn't want their direct members to get too close to a German prince, so in order to meet Miss Hill, I got a plane and broke into Hill Manor without knowing it, and the brave Miss Hill boarded our plane, and then we left England. Because of this moment, the whole Hill family was greatly affected as a result, and Miss Hill missed her family from time to time during her time in Germany, so she later returned to England. ”

Although Natsuki spoke very briefly, some tabloids at the time had much more detailed narratives than that, and they also added artistic means of expression, turning the story into a legend. After listening, Princess Mary did not feel disappointed, but sighed: "I really envy you for having such a daring and unforgettable love." ”

Natsuki smiled slightly: "Sooner or later, everyone will find their own love." ”

This casual expression fascinated Princess Mary. In terms of appearance and temperament, the men of the Hohenzollern family have always given people the impression of being rough and wild, those strangely shaped beards alone have nothing to do with handsomeness, and the appearance of Wilhelm II in his youth is also very mediocre, while his queen, Augusta Victoria, Duchess of Schleswig-Holstein, was born beautiful, dignified, graceful and elegant, and their youngest three princes and the only princess all inherited excellent genes from their mothers, and all of them have delicate facial features and are generous. In his youth, Joachim had a handsome face that resembled Brad Pitt, a pair of eyes with a particularly fascinating magic, excellent appearance and the fortitude forged by his military career, and his charm index far exceeded that of those aristocratic young people of the same age.

Seeing that the eldest princess Mary looked obsessed, Xia Shugan coughed, turned around and walked to the table: "Your Highness, is it a glass of water, or a glass of water?" ”

"Huh?" The eldest princess thought she had heard it wrong, how could she give two multiple-choice questions with the same options?

Alcohol is not suitable for such occasions, coffee and tea are easy to fall asleep, and Natsuki does not have juice drinks here, so the only thing left is water. He ignored the hesitation of the eldest princess Mary, and handed her a glass of water.

The eldest princess of England reacted at this time, and she blinked mischievously: "Then should I say thank you, or thank you?" ”

Cheerful girls tend to be more likable than iceberg beauties, but the so-called turnip greens have their own advantages, and Natsuki is willing to be friends with a lady like Princess Mary, but will not list them as a candidate for a life partner.

After laughing, the eldest princess slowly put away her smile and asked with some frustration: "At the beginning, His Royal Highness and Miss Hill were forced to separate because of the conflict between countries, and now that Britain and Germany have signed a peace treaty, and the wounds of the war will gradually be healed with the passage of time, under such conditions, Your Highness still hopes to get together with Miss Hill again, right?" ”

Natsuki replied without thinking, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, but I can't answer this question at the moment. ”

The eldest princess Mary forced a smile: "Well, time will bring us the answer, maybe Your Highness will come by plane again and take Miss Hill back as Queen of Ireland?" ”

This is indeed a way that Natsuki once considered.

Xia Shu held his cup, silently drank a few sips of boiled water, and suddenly sighed: "As His Highness said, time will bring us the answer." Now we don't have to think that far, and we can't think that far. After all, Your Highness won't have come to listen to this story, will you? ”

After a moment of thought, the eldest princess of England said in a slightly mature tone: "Now in England, everyone is in awe of His Royal Highness, thinking that His Highness is the kind of genius whose military talent is comparable to that of Napoleon, and they are worried that the Irish army will one day land on the island of Britain. ”

Natsuki replied paradoxically, "Before we can achieve lasting peace, we must go through the torment of war, and because of the horror of war, we must understand the preciousness of peace, which is the law of history." ”

Princess Mary's eyes widened: "So, there will still be an inevitable war between Ireland and England, and we will be enemies again?" That's why you still can't live with Miss Hill? ”

Natsuki felt that he had been defeated by the other party, and when it came to it, he was still talking about the feelings he didn't want to talk about with outsiders. At this time, he began to regret letting this guy into the room, and he had already refused on the grounds that he was going to take a bath and sleep.

As if sensing that Natsuki was a little impatient, Eldest Princess Mary hurriedly said, "It's hard to solve these annoying things, but I do have an idea. ”

Would this be the most constructive advice I have received from my visit to Windsor Castle? Natsuki suddenly became curious.

Eldest Princess Mary stared straight at Natsuki, "Let's marry Miss Hill!" ”

"Huh?"

"Marry Miss Hill as soon as possible, and then all problems will be solved." The eldest princess of England seems to be quite proud of her approach.

"Uh......"

"What Your Highness has to do is to lay down the burden of thought, and if the people of Ireland are willing to accept a German prince as their king, they will also accept an English lady as their queen. His Highness's family will be the magical link that binds Germany, England, and Ireland, and with this relationship, the possibility of war between the three nations will be greatly reduced. ”

Princess Mary's words sounded childish, but they were not brainless. If Natsuki can really "let go" and willingly let the Kingdom of Ireland play an insignificant role in Europe in the future, then reaping family marriages and keeping the country out of war can be achieved in one fell swoop.

So, Natsuki tentatively asked, "My subjects and I would love to see such a vision come true, but what His Highness said must be based on a general premise, that is, the complete unity of the Kingdom of Ireland. ”

"Your Highness should be understandable that we keep the Belfast region within the empire's territory, with religion as the first consideration, followed by the humanity derived from religion, and then the military and politics. I think that the British Government will consider returning this area to Ireland as long as His Highness shows the whole of Europe that Ireland has succeeded in dealing with religious conflicts, and that there are credible measures to ensure the safety of life and property of all Protestants in Belfast. ”

Princess Mary seems to be repeating the British government's foreign communiqué, but if the British royal family thinks the same way, then it reveals one of Britain's cards - the Belfast problem can be resolved through negotiations. Of course, religious conflicts have lasted for thousands of years, which is by no means a genius can be solved by one hand, in addition to different religious beliefs, benefiting from the economic layout of the United Kingdom, the people living in the north of Ireland are relatively wealthy, so many of them are emotionally close to the United Kingdom, and religious conflicts and economic contradictions have always been the main cause of regional confrontation and even civil war, the British rulers are not afraid of a civil war in Ireland, but that after the civil war is over, Ireland will break free from the existing shackles and become a truly free, An independent and powerful kingdom. Historically, the population and resources are similar to Ireland, and the Netherlands, Denmark, and Sweden have all had their own glorious periods. Under the leadership of a wise monarch, Ireland could also rise to prominence quickly.

"Yes, I understand." Natsuki Road.

"So, if Your Highness really loves her, marry her! If Miss Hill or the Hill family have any concerns, I can intercede on His Royal Highness's behalf. ”

Looking at the expression of the eldest princess Mary's smile like a flower, Xia Shu was quite puzzled at first, not knowing which one this highness was singing, but then he vaguely remembered some stupid things he had done in his **silk era, and suddenly felt full of emotion.

"In any case, Your Highness, I thank you for this kindness, and I sincerely hope that we will be able to establish a strong friendship, and if possible, I cordially invite you to come to Ireland, and the image of the British royal family in the eyes of the Irish people will certainly be greatly changed by you."

The eldest princess stroked the hem of her skirt and saluted with a smile, "It was a great honor. ”
