Remember [Strawberry] in one second, fast updates, free to read!

"Constantine, you go to the Port of Piraeus today to greet Mr. Stanley. Remember to be more enthusiastic. He is a hero now," George I raised his head and said to Constantine.

The Port of Piraeus is the outer port of Athens, the capital of Greece, and the largest port in Greece.

"Okay, Nina, tell Butler Capet to prepare the carriage and tell him that we are going to the port of Piraeus," Constantine turned to Nina standing behind him and said.

Nina took the order and turned to leave.

Constantine took the last bite of bread, stood up and said to Queen Olga and King George: "Then I will go."

After speaking, he slowly took two steps back, turned around and left the restaurant.

In the restaurant, Queen Olga looked at Constantine's leaving figure and said quietly to George, "I'm just worried that Constantine will be hit hard if his plan fails."

"He is no longer a child. He should experience some things for himself. If the little lion has not been cruelly tempered, he will not become a king." George I read the newspaper attentively and said without raising his head.

Constantine came to the yard and saw a carriage parked on the gravel road in the yard from a distance. The driver was sitting high on the driver's seat in front of the carriage, with a wide field of vision, holding a whip in his hand, and two bay-red horses "chichichi". Shaking his head and sneezing, four oil lamps were placed at the four corners of the carriage, four fully armed knights were distributed at the front and rear, and Butler Capay was standing in front of the carriage door.

"Your Majesty the Duke, the carriage is ready." Capet, wearing a black tuxedo and a blue silk bow on his white shirt, opened the carriage door.

"Uncle Capet, you are still so polite." Constantine was very familiar with Capet. Capet had been the butler of the royal family for as long as he could remember.

"Etiquette must not be broken, Your Excellency," Butler Capet replied with a smile.

Seeing this, Constantine stopped insisting and stepped into the front seat of the carriage, only to find Nina in a blue silk dress sitting inside.

"You??" Constantine pointed at Nina in surprise and was about to speak, but saw Nina put her finger in front of her mouth and said "Shhh", winking at Constantine with a look of pleading on her face. look.

Constantine then reacted, turned around and looked behind him. There was nothing unusual. He closed the car door with his left hand and said in a controlled tone, "Let's go."

Butler Kape came to the coachman, raised his head and said to the coachman who was sitting high in the driver's seat: "Kafka, be careful on the road."

The coachman gave a reassuring expression, flicked his whip, and with a "snap" sound, the four knights heard the signal and immediately got on their horses. The two riders in front opened the way, and the two riders behind moved behind, accompanied by the "clatter" of horse hooves. With a loud sound, the motorcade slowly drove towards the iron gate of the manor.

After the gate was opened by the guard, the motorcade slowly passed through.

Nina in the car let out a long breath, hummed an unknown song, leaned forward, put her head in front of the car window, held the curtain with her left hand, and looked at the scenery outside.

Tatoi Palace is located in the deep mountain forest in the north of Athens. On both sides of the road leading to Athens, there are tall and dense forests. The rising sun occasionally passes through the treetops and shines into the carriage, sometimes bright, sometimes dark, and the clatter of horse hooves. The sound broke the silence of the forest, startling several birds to fly away, flapping their wings and flying away.

Looking at Nina who was looking at the scenery outside curiously, Constantine said warmly, "Nina, have you ever thought about life outside the palace?"

"Yes, life outside the palace will be very free." Nina continued to look at the scenery outside the window without looking back.

Nina is seventeen years old and has completed her pre-college courses under the guidance of her former tutor.

Nina was so smart that the tutor originally invited by Constantine didn't mind accepting Nina as an extra student. Queen Olga always compared the results of the two and often teased her about it. Tandin.

"Nina, do you want to go to the University of Athens to study?" Nina didn't like palace life. She was actually a lively and cheerful girl. The palace was full of red tape and strict rules. Nina's character was incompatible with royal life.

Although Nina was smart and adapted well to palace life, deep down, Constantine knew that Nina didn't like it.

He hoped that Nina could become a knowledgeable and independent woman with independent opinions. If this was not the case, Constantine could not let go and let Nina, a playmate who had grown up together since childhood, adapt to the complex and exciting external world.

When I think of my mother, Queen Olga's personal maid, Miss Aurora who came from Russia as a dowry, with a gloomy face all day long, and then look at Nina who is in the prime of life and in her prime, Although he was a little reluctant to give up, he still hardened his heart and expressed his plan.

Life in the palace was monotonous and boring. Some of the male and female servants entered the palace from childhood to learn etiquette and literacy.

It is not allowed to fall in love in the palace. The royal family is responsible for their food, clothing, housing and transportation. They live in the palace for a long time. After reaching the age and getting married, they will be released from the palace. Some people who cannot adapt to life outside the palace often ask to return to the palace.

They have adapted to life in the palace and are used to being told what work they should do every day. Because they have not been in contact for many years, their family members have become estranged.

Miss Aurora is 50 years old this year and has not yet been married, so she calls him Miss. She cannot adapt to ordinary married life and has no plans to get married again.

She was steward of the palace ladies, while the male servants were managed by Steward Capet.

Constantine did not want his playmate, Nina, to suffer the same fate as Miss Aurora and live like a withered log.

When Nina heard Constantine's words, she immediately turned her head, looked at Constantine in surprise, and muttered, "I, I haven't thought about it yet."

"You are very smart. It would be a pity not to go to college. You don't want to stay in the palace all your life." Constantine looked at her with pity.

Nina was an orphan. She was sent to the church after she was born. She was sent to the palace since she was a child. She was raised by Queen Olga and raised by Miss Aurora.

Although Miss Aurora has a straight face all day long, she has a very close relationship with Nina. She treats Nina like her own daughter.

"After you go back today, you can discuss it with Miss Aurora," Constantine advised.

Nina nodded hesitantly, as if considering Constantine's proposal.

There was silence in the carriage, both of them thinking about their own thoughts.

How much money does the Congo expedition need to bring to fruition? It’s really annoying.

The carriage gradually entered the port area, and the environment became more and more noisy. The long "Woo-Woo" whistle was heard in the distance. It seemed that the Port of Piraeus was approaching.

I wonder if there is any good news about Stanley.
