As a member of the royal family, especially in the 17th century, whether in Europe or the East, princesses were mostly one of the tools to marry and win over some nobles.

Yes, that's right, they are tools, they are like tools, they are useless when they run out and are forgotten.

Psychologically, Sophia did not have much resentment towards her father's decision, and among some of the noble ladies who accompanied her, the nobleman from the East always practiced elegant etiquette, whether it was at a banquet or at a meal, he always gave priority to the ladies.

Such a nobleman who respects women can be said to be the one that most aristocratic ladies are willing to see and want to marry, because marrying such a person can ensure that they will not be abused or even beaten.

With curiosity and her father's expectations, Sophia set foot on the land of the Netherlands, which once belonged to Spain, and even now it is still nominally Spanish territory, and I don't know when the merchants of this land began to oppose the rule of the Spanish kingdom, and even drove all the officials sent by the Spanish government back.

I really don't know why, how such an elegant and very gentlemanly aristocrat chose to build a consulate general on the land of these uncivilized people in the Netherlands, and where it is not good to put it here.

Sofia, who complained, replied to Carlos: "Sir, thank you for the arrangement, if everything goes well, Spain will not forget your merits."

Although the little princess was not very old, her words were very familiar, and she spoke in a tone somewhat like that of her father, as did his father, Philip IV, who often took words of encouragement to the minister. ”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Princess, Carlos sincerely wishes you and Consul Yu to become a couple, this is definitely the happiest couple in the world, because he can always surprise you."

The evaluation of the blog post is so high, it can be said that it is the first time for Carlos. Because the other party is indeed always able to lend him constant surprises.

"I hope so, sir, are you ready? I think we should have arrived a little earlier out of politeness, you think. ”

"Of course it's a good thing," Carlos raised his hand in approval, "expressing great pleasure that Sophia was so sensible, and to be honest, when Her Royal Highness the Princess came to the Netherlands with him, he was very worried that she would do something out of the ordinary.

However, it turns out that members of the royal family are members of the royal family, and their status restricts all their undesirable actions.

For this secret visit to the Spanish princess. Yu Bowen didn't actually feel anything, because he hadn't seen it either, but based on the little information he had captured during Carlos's conversation, he had already guessed what he meant.

Marriage, marriage with a nobleman with a lot of power in Australia, this is the idea of Philip IV's psychology, as for why it is not other royal family members or noble lords in Europe, the reason is very simple, Australians suddenly appeared. Let the Spaniards see a powerful force different from the European aristocracy.

With the support of such a force, Spain would once again rise to glory, and while the Dutch Civil War has long been seen as a sign of Spain's decline, Philip IV, with his great imperial ambitions, did not.

If only he thought so. Then Spain would not have attacked the continent and plunged into an economic crisis at home.

Even if this ambitious monarch does not have a hot head, he must make an enemy of Australia, otherwise the pace of Spain's decline will accelerate. It is precisely because of this male lord that he came up with the idea of forming an alliance with the Australians. Although Australians are not very interested in Spain, there is one thing that cannot be denied that they are working hard.

The Dutch hillbillies can give Australia. Spain can also give, you must know that Spain is the empire on which the sun never sets, and the group of hillbillies in the Netherlands are just because of shit luck. Even they are inferior to the Portuguese.

The powerful Dutch were nothing in the eyes of the Spaniards, but the Australians, who had little contact, were considered by them to be allies in defeating the Netherlands.

With the premise of several cooperations, the Spaniards relied on Australian weapons to achieve a small victory, which made Philip IV even more determined to form an alliance with the Australians, and even married a small nobleman in their country.

Outside the Consulate General, Yu Bowen, who was dressed in formal clothes, had already walked towards the gate, and at this time, the carriage of the Spanish princess Sofia also happened to arrive at the door.

From the unique shield sign hanging on the carriage, he could recognize that this was the carriage of the Carlos family, because it had been reported in advance, so it was definitely Her Royal Highness the princess inside, and in addition to the old card sitting outside the carriage, it was almost certain that it was Princess Sophia inside.

With elegant steps, Yu Bowen walked to the carriage and gently opened a door, and then extended an inviting gesture to a blonde beautiful girl inside.

"Your Royal Highness Princess Sophia, welcome to the Australian Consulate General in Europe."

Looking at the smiling Oriental man with a height of about one meter eight, and extending his gesture of invitation, Sophia also judged that this person should be the Oriental nobleman she wanted to meet, and he was really a gentleman.

Sophia gently stretched out a hand, and Yu Bowen slowly helped her get out of the carriage, and then squatted lightly and saluted Yu Bowen.

"Mr. Consul General, thank you for your personal greeting, Sophia feels very honored." Her Royal Highness said with a smile on her face.

Although it is in Spanish, it is not difficult for Bowen, a diplomatic talent, who also replied to the princess in Spanish, which surprised Sophia, who did not expect the other party to speak Spanish so well.

"Mr. Consul General's Spanish is so good, can I take the liberty of asking who you learned it from?" As they walked, the two of them looked at the hanging strokes in the Consulate General.

"Well, this," Yu Bowen paused and said with a little sadness: "I learned it from my father, but unfortunately I can't see him anymore." Yu Bowen was right, his Spanish was really learned from his father, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad when he remembered his life experience, so he couldn't control his emotions.

The smart Sophia naturally saw that Yu Bowen didn't seem to be cheating, so she stopped and turned around and saluted him again: "It reminds the Consul General of the sad past, Sophia really shouldn't be, and I ask Mr. Consul General for forgiveness." ”

Regardless of whether Sophia sincerely apologizes or not, at least in Bowen's opinion, this Spanish princess is very good, and if she can marry her, it will be a wrong thing, at least it will make those local guys envy to death. (To be continued......)
