Chapter 116: Adulthood

Today, in the Grand Ballroom located in the Royal Palace, a group of people sing and dance inside.

If you look closely, you will find that these people are relatively old, even the youngest ones are over forty years old, and the older ones even exist in their seventies and eighties.

There must have been a reason for these people to sing and dance, because in the center of their dancing in a circle, Carlo watched quietly in traditional Italian costume, trying to dance the group of elderly discos.

As the dance drew to a close, Ferdinando, Duke of Genoa, the eldest member of the House of Savoy, chanted. "Tanti auguri per il tuo battesimo (Good wishes for your coming-of-age ceremony)"

As he spoke, there was a cheer, and everyone threw flowers into Carlo's hand, announcing his coming of age.

After doing all this, these middle-aged and elderly men were a little out of breath, after all, how could they not be tired after doing these high-intensity activities when they were older.

And the Queen Mother Margae Lida also knew this, so she beckoned countless maids to come on the stage with all kinds of drinks, but these were all drinks, no wine, for fear that someone would get drunk and lose her temper. Of course, none of the people present thought of drinking here, although in other families may prepare wine, but Carlo is also a king, unlike other people who attend the rite of passage.

And many people are drinking drinks while paying attention to today's protagonist, His Majesty Carlo. Many people have expectations for the king's pro-government, and they expect His Majesty to take action after the pro-government, which is another good opportunity for power reshuffle.

Of course, there are also people who are worried about this, such as Ferdinando, the oldest Duke of Genoa, the eldest in the royal family, the grandfather's brother, who spoke earnestly beside Carlo.

"Carlo, today you are an adult, I didn't want to say it, but I feel that I can't say it, I heard that you have the idea of replacing the prime minister?"

"How is it possible, uncle and grandfather, you are too worried."

Carlo's face was surprised by his uncle's words, and he felt that it was incredible. And let the eldest person of the royal family, who doesn't ask about politics, ask, Carlo feels that there is definitely a lot of gossip outside, and the chief of the guard actually didn't tell himself, which is a bit dereliction of duty.

In the face of Carlo's answer, the Duke of Genoa said with satisfaction. "It's good if you don't have it, it's good if you don't have I'm afraid that you are young and vigorous, and you will make such a move because of what happened before. It is better not to move the prime minister when you are just in power, and if you want to move, then you have to wait until the time is ripe. ”

The Duke's last words were uttered entirely in Carlo's ear, and it seems that the uncle and grandfather also knew that such a thing could not be known.

Seeing that his uncle and grandfather didn't believe it very much, Carlo could only say helplessly. "Uncle and grandfather, I didn't think about it at all, I know there are some rumors out there, but these are not true, I don't think about changing the prime minister at the moment. Besides, Prime Minister de Pretis did a good job, and I am very satisfied with his work. ”

"That's good, you can do it yourself."

After Carlo sent off the uncle and grandfather in front of him, his uncle Regent, the famous playboy of Rome, Uncle Amedeo, the regent of the Duke of Aosta, appeared in front of him.

"Carlo, the speaker just told me that your pro-government ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow?"

Faced with the words of his uncle regent, Carlo couldn't help but cover his nose with his hands, how could there be a smell of alcohol, isn't this all non-alcoholic drinks served?

"Yes, uncle."

Carlo couldn't help but fan his hand in front of his nose a few times to make the smell dissipate quickly.

"That's fine, uh...... You rest assured, uh...... I will definitely attend on time. ”

Looking at his uncle who was burping, Carlo still couldn't hold back. "Uncle, you drink less."

"Don't worry, I know how to measure."

The Duke of Aosta left a word and left in a hurry.

"You know the, I've had a few bastards in Rome over the years."

Looking at his departing uncle, Carlo spoke.

The Duke of Aosta really didn't pay more and more attention to the occasion, and actually came drunk to attend his coming-of-age ceremony.

Carlo then didn't care about the uncle, because the prime minister came over.

"Your Majesty, congratulations on coming of age."

"Thank you, Prime Minister, I have been able to learn so much knowledge under Your Excellency's teaching over the years, and you are definitely half of my mentor, Prime Minister."

"Your Majesty is polite, this is what I should do."

You see, it's good to talk to the prime minister, everyone looks kind, and the scene is suitable for the monarch and the minister.

Of course, whether such a scene can be believed, I don't know.

But Carlo doesn't need them to believe it, because he really doesn't have the idea of changing prime ministers.

Changing the prime minister is a big deal, and there are many issues to consider, even if Carlo wants to change the prime minister, it will take at least half a year to prepare.

Although Prime Minister De Pretis is a pro-French faction, Carlo still does not want to replace him. De Pretis is doing a good job and has no other moves, and Carlo doesn't want a new prime minister.

And about this sudden trend of changing the prime minister, Carlo can also guess some. Isn't it just that some people have taken a fancy to this position, and in addition, Germany and Austria are also indispensable behind the scenes.

However, as long as Carlo does not let go, no one can replace Prime Minister De Pretis.

So Carlo has been talking to the prime minister for a little longer, and he needs to send a signal that he has no intention of changing the prime minister.

And such a signal, many people understand. I believe that this trend will subside in two days, after all, it will only require the king to be dissatisfied with the prime minister.

After talking for a while, Prime Minister De Pretis also left Carlo's side with great interest, after all, there were other people waiting.

As today's pig's knuckle, Carlo went on to talk to everyone else.

But overall it's not bad, it's just that it's a little longer, and this coming-of-age ceremony doesn't end until nearly ten o'clock in the evening.

When they were all gone, Carlo was ready to return to his room to rest.

However, while walking through a hallway, the little maid Nia suddenly appeared.

"Your Majesty, do I have something I can talk to you about?"

Looking at Nia with a hesitant look in front of him, Carlo turned his head to the attendant beside him. "You guys go first."

It wasn't until the squire had quietly left that Nia whispered. "Carlo, I want to get out of here."

"Why?"

Faced with Nia's words, Carlo was a little surprised.

"You know."

Nia's words silenced Carlo, he had thought about it before, but he didn't expect Nya to decide so quickly.

"And when are you going to leave?"

Nia bit her lip in response to Carlo's inquiry. "I'll leave tomorrow."

After speaking, the little maid put a pair of jade arms behind Carlo's head. "Can you leave me a memento?"

Now that Nia had said this, Carlo hesitated for nothing, picked up Nia with both hands, and walked impatiently to his room.

I believe that this night is another storm.
