Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Lawyer's Exclamation
Crispin was quick to move, and he arrived at Ernst's manor at noon that day, but Ernst was a little depressed because Archduke Ferdinand had already left London.
After all, he couldn't be as idle as Ernst, and in the position of Archduke Ferdinand, he had countless things to deal with for a day of delay.
Sophie and Elena did not leave, they were going to spend two more days, along with several noble (ex-noble) ladies from England and France, and they would leave England together.
Ernst's troubles came from the fact that without Archduke Ferdinand, it was not so easy for him to meet Edward VII, who was qualified in his status, but his age ......
I believe that no one will think that Ernst has anything serious, and the possibility of Edward VII meeting him is almost zero, at most he will arrange for the butler to entertain Ernst well.
The lawyer in charge of Carl Neumann's affairs had not met a big man before, but it was the first time that a member of the royal family had been in such close proximity, and it was normal for him to be a little nervous, even if the prince was only seven years old.
In the hall, Ernst casually tapped the list of personnel of the independent organization, and Ernst casually asked, "So, these are all the evidence?" ”
"There is also a mayor of Ireland who can testify that he has now been removed from office and that he will need to come to London if he needs ......"
"Dismissal? You didn't talk about it. ”
Ernst looked at Jessica, Jessica's face was slightly red, she didn't say anything and didn't know what to say, was it to explain or directly admit that she had cheated?
Crispin did not arrive, his mission was complete, and the next step was for Ernst to discuss with Jessica alone how to rescue Carl Neumann.
"Cosimo!"
"Lord Count?"
"Prepare the carriage, let's go visit the Grand Duke of Coburg."
Jessica was slightly excited, she naturally knew who the Archduke of Coburg was in Ernst's mouth, and if he was willing to help, then I believe that the chances of things turning around were very high.
The only one Ernst knew in London was the Archduke of Coburg, and he was the only one Ernst was confident that he would be able to meet, but ......
"I'm sorry Earl Ernst, but the Archduke of Coburg is on his way to Australia this morning, and you should know the current situation in England, where he has to travel from place to place."
Ernst was met by the wife of the Grand Duke of Coburg, a very kind and beautiful woman, who did not treat Ernst as an ordinary seven-year-old boy, and put Ernst on an equal footing in her words.
During the conversation, the Grand Duchess also asked Ernst about his intentions, but Ernst did not hide this, but directly talked about Karl Neumann.
The Grand Duchess was visibly embarrassed, and her frown made her look a little melancholy, but instead of refusing, she indicated that she was willing to help Ernst with the inquiry.
Ernst expressed his gratitude, and when he left, the Grand Duchess touched Ernst's head very gently, which did not make Ernst angry, but felt very warm and kind.
Since the departure of the Grand Duke of Coburg's castle, Jessica has been somewhat silent, although the Grand Duchess is willing to help, but everyone understands that her influence is far less than that of her husband, and the hope of this matter is not realistic for the Grand Duke.
"What should we do now?"
Although they did not see the Archduke of Coburg, the lawyer and Jessica believed in Ernst, because the personal reception of the Archduchess had proved that Ernst had the strength to complete the matter, but it was just a bad luck to coincide with the absence of the Archduke of Coburg.
"The chances of His Majesty King Edward meeting me are low, but no one knows the outcome if you don't try."
After saying this, Ernst asked Cosimo to arrange to go to the palace, Jessica was a little moved, after all, Ernst had just tried his best and the Grand Duchess had already offered help, and now it was reasonable for Ernst to do nothing and let her go home and wait.
"We, should we wait for news from Her Royal Highness the Archduchess Sophia......"
Glancing at Jessica in some surprise, Ernst did not expect her to say such a thing at this time, but the surprise was only instantaneous, and soon he shook his head and insisted on his decision to meet Edward VII.
The palace was heavily guarded, and even the Duke of England could not easily enter the door if it was anyone else, but Ernst did not have such restraints, but only he was alone.
Ernst was a prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and he had priority over the other great nobles of England in the matter of meeting Edward VII, and it was one thing for Edward to disagree with him, and quite another for the guards to let him in.
Ernst was led by the palace steward to the hall, and coffee and sweets were served, which was completely an attitude of entertaining children, which made Ernst a little dissatisfied.
"His Majesty the King is very busy, Lord Count can go to the garden for a walk, His Royal Highness Edward is also there, Lord Count can ...... with His Royal Highness Edward first"
Who is His Royal Highness Edward? He was the grandson of George V, the son of Edward VII, and the historical Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, who abandoned the throne for love, he was also known as Edward VIII.
Ernst's little knowledge of history happened to know the famous king of England and wanted to meet him, but thinking that Jessica was still waiting anxiously outside, Ernst shook his head and chose to leave.
He knew that it would be fruitless to continue waiting, and the butler was very kind and hospitable, but it also showed one thing, Edward VII was not prepared to meet his little doll, who was only seven years old.
Seeing Ernst shake his head, Jessica's beautiful face full of anticipation couldn't help but be full of depression, and at this moment Ernst felt very incompetent and very sad in his heart.
He panicked, panicked that the others helped Jessica rescue her dad, and Jessica fell in love with him at first sight and disappeared from his world.
Cosimo naturally didn't know Ernst's heart, he just felt that Ernst's state at this time was a little abnormal, was that panic his own dazzle?
The Archduke of Coburg is not here, Edward VII is not in sight, Wilhelm II is leaving with Archduke Ferdinand, what can I do now?
Other British aristocrats? I'm just on the same page with them, and it's not easy for them, so they'll agree to help?
Nicholas II! Yes, you can still find him.
"Cosimo!"
"Lord Count."
Ernst made the distracted Cosimo sober up instantly, and at the same time, the depressed Jessica couldn't help but look at Ernst.
"Where does Emperor Nicholas II live, we can ask him for help!"
The lawyer was already a little fainting, and sure enough, he was a prince of a powerful country, and the people who turned to him were all emperors of various countries, if not at least royal descendants, dukes and other figures.
