Chapter 106: Orphans of the Fog Capital (58)
Yes, Kylie, you're very lucky. In terms of your background, climbing such a figure can be said to be a step to the sky.
Attention, it is a step to the sky.
What day? The sun never sets on the days of the Empire.
Can a mere earl be described in such an exaggerated way? Of course not, but, Kelly, far luckier than she thought.
Unlike the tradition of ancient Chinese society, the nobility of European countries often had more than one title. For this Albert, the Earl of Chester is only the most inconspicuous of his many titles!
But even the most inconspicuous one is what ordinary people need to look up to.
Obviously, out of concern, Albert didn't tell Kelly all the truth. This is a kind of protection for her, because Albert's identity is too complex and sensitive. And, taking a step back, he was just hiding it, but he wasn't deceiving Kelly.
And Zhou Daoan, as a traverser, has a historical reference, and he has actually guessed the identity of this Mr. Albert. The only reason for not being sure is that this is just a different world, and it may be different from the real history of the real world.
Too much information has already pointed it to a particular person, though. From the beginning of the conversation between Zhou Daoan and Albert, the other party obviously did not expect that he had inadvertently revealed his identity.
The fact that he and Dr. William and his wife have known each other for four or five years has ruled out many of Albert's identities - former colleagues? Not long ago, Dr. and Mrs. William attended the ceremony of the college; Old friends from the past? There are very few knights, and even Thompson is only a baron, far from Albert......
Crucially, they also knew Francis Thompson, and they even talked about Dr. William not long ago. In his memory, in his little contact with Sir Thompson, he only asked Dr. William to help him find a painkiller so that he could attend a party organized by a big man......
Of course, this does not fully explain that Albert is the big man, after all, there must be a lot of nobles at the party. However, the Earl of Chester, who seemed to have a lot of energy, showed an obviously tangled expression after hearing that Dr. William was in trouble and closed the clinic, but did not show any intention of helping.
What does this mean? It shows that although the other party has a noble status, he has his own hardships, and he doesn't even dare to say a few words. At the same time, he didn't ask how much trouble it was, but he thought that Dr. William could solve it as long as he found someone...... Because from the bottom of his heart, he knew very well that Dr. William could find the hardest relationship, and that he could settle any trouble that came his way in this country.
This relationship is due to the fact that Dr. William once served the supreme ruler on which the sun never sets, and Dr. William faithfully carried the black pot for the royal family and covered up scandals...... In addition to Dr. William and Zhou Daoan, even Mrs. William did not know about this matter.
But Albert hinted at this in his words.
He knows this relationship.
In addition, as a count, at the end of the 19th century, when the aristocracy was proud of having many lovers, they favored a traitor, and they were responsible for this traitor's lover and did not dare to do their duty...... And his blonde hair......
All of this actually points Albert's identity to a great man.
Albert Eduard von Saxony ...... Well, the full name Zhou Daoan can't remember, this name is all the knowledge he knew in his previous life, and he understands this character, but the other party has another simpler name-
Edward VII. Queen Victoria's eldest son, and after the queen, the king of the empire on which the sun never sets. He also has a series of titles and titles, whether the Earl of Chester is one of them, Zhou Daoan can't verify it at the moment, but he thinks there should be.
In this otherworld, which is highly similar to the real world, Albert and the future Edward VII should also be highly similar, if not identical.
The legendary king, considered great by the people on which the sun never sets, was not treated well by his mother before his reign - Queen Victoria felt that her eldest son was unruly, unruly and amorous, and liked high-risk sports such as horse racing and rowing, which were extremely unsatisfactory for a monarch.
Therefore, the queen did not allow her first heir to hold any real power until the queen was old and Edward VII was over fifty years old, and then gradually let go and let the other party get involved in politics.
Zhou Daoan doesn't remember Edward VII's birthday, but judging by Albert's appearance, he should not be more than fifty years old, so he is still not involved in politics, and has been suppressed by his mother for a long time, so his behavior is naturally low-key and cautious - although he still maintains a romantic relationship and organizes horse racing parties......
Therefore, Kelly herself doesn't know that she is "on the side" of the thickest thigh in the country, and for the sake of insurance, she can add a "future".
But in this way, the child in Kelly's belly will be a big problem again.
In real history, Edward VII had two sons, the eldest son, Victor, was a "special child", with some intellectual problems, or bisexual, who tossed himself to death before the age of thirty, unmarried and childless.
The second child, that is, the later king, George V, he died right, two sons became kings successively, the eldest son Edward VIII inherited the love of the grandfather of the same name, asked the beauty not to be the country, resigned to marry Mrs. Simpson, and passed the throne to his younger brother, George VI. And George VI is the father of Queen Elizabeth, the modern sun never sets.
This history, Zhou Daoan watched from the movie "The King's Speech", from which, he also learned about several "individual" kings in modern England, which immediately linked Albert to Edward VII.
Back to the point, since Edward VII's eldest son died young—he should not have died at this moment, but not a few years before (historically, Prince Victor died in 1892)—then the child in Kelly's womb will be the fourth in line to the throne (George V, Edward VIII, and George VI are the first three in line, and then Edward VII's daughters). It doesn't sound like a top-notch person, but it's an heir!
Therefore, Kelly turned out to be the one mentioned in the mission, and Zhou Daoan should recognize the "important" person! remembered that he once used cardiac resuscitation to save Kelly, and since then, he has laid the groundwork for this third task!
Ark, you're such a dad! Behind the many coincidences, there is always a giant hand that is invisibly propelled. Your mission is also meaningful, right? Could it be that the child in Kelly's womb has a deeper meaning in this world?
Zhou Daoan couldn't help but sigh secretly. In his thoughts, time flew by, and the steady carriage had already sent them back to their apartment on Dorsey Street in the eastern district of Wudu.
Entering the door, Kylie immediately began to unload her outfit - although this dress made her look radiant even if she was pregnant, whether it was a hat with a wide veil or a conservative and limited long skirt, she felt tight, and a night of running, coupled with a date under high spirits, made Kelly extremely tired at the moment.
"Stephen, help me, I can't pull this damn zipper anymore." Kelly in the room suddenly asked Zhou Daoan for help.
The door is hidden, and it can be seen that Kelly has lived in front of Zhou Daoan for a long time, and she is becoming more and more casual. Zhou Daoan pushed the door in and found that Kelly was facing away from her, and the zipper on the back of her skirt was halfway drawn, but it was stuck.
Zhou Daoan didn't hesitate, silently went over to help her pull the zipper to the end, and quickly looked away before the dress spread out to reveal her fair back, ready to leave the room.
Wait a minute!
Zhou Daoan, who had just gotten up and hadn't completely turned around, was suddenly shocked, and turned his head back. Now, he didn't shy away from looking at Kelly!
"Your hair!"
Kelly was startled by Zhou Daoan's low voice, she subconsciously half-turned around, covered her chest with her hands, and didn't let her skirt slip off, looking at the dumbfounded Zhou Daoan, she said with disgust:
"Scared me to death, why are you making such a fuss?"
"Why is your hair black!" Zhou Daoan only felt a little out of breath, and Kelly in front of him had already taken off her hat, and her long black hair was combed into a gorgeous and delicate bun. But her original hair was obviously chestnut.
"You're a man...... What a fuss, it's a wig and that's it! Kelly didn't think there was anything unusual, but secretly laughed at Zhou Daoan's rarity, "Because when I first met Albert, I was wearing a black wig - at that time, I was applying for the heroine of "Carmen", and the requirement must be black hair...... However, Albert said that he felt that black hair was particularly suitable for me, so I wore a black wig every time I saw him afterwards. Eh, Stephen, you say, I'm going to just dye my hair black, okay? I always thought the barbershop was too expensive to dye my hair......"
"Every time you see Albert, is it in this manor today?" Zhou Daoan interrupted Kelly's narration somewhat forcefully. At this moment, he suddenly felt that some broken fragments were connected by this black hair again!
"Of course not, it's just the last two times!" Kelly frowned, as if she didn't want to say more, but looking at Zhou Daoan's serious and solemn expression, she subconsciously answered honestly, "Before, we had trysts in several theaters, and Albert was also a fan of the theater, so he would invite me to watch the play...... Oh, and another time, in the middle of the night, I was mysteriously taken to a castle by the gods, blindfolded the whole time! That's when I learned that Albert was not ordinary......"
