Greece’s Roman Road

"Constantine, you will go to Piraeus port to meet Mr. Stanley today, 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 Steward Capet, let him prepare the carriage, and say we are going to the port of Piraeus," Constantine turned to Nina who was standing behind him.

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'll go."

After speaking, he slowly took two steps back and turned to leave the restaurant.

In the dining room, Queen Olga looked at the figure of Constantine leaving, and said to George faintly, "I'm just worried that if Constantine's plan fails, it will be a huge blow."

"He is no longer a child. He should experience some things himself. If the little lion has not been brutally 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 in the driver's seat in front of the carriage, with a wide field of vision, a whip in his hand, and two purplish red horses "chichi". Shaking his head and sneezing, four oil lamps were placed on the four corners of the carriage, four well-armed knights were distributed in front and back, and Butler Capet was standing in front of the car door.

"Your Excellency, the carriage is ready." Wearing a black tuxedo and a white shirt with a bow made of blue silk, Capet opened the carriage door.

"Uncle Capet, you're still so polite." Constantine was very familiar with Capet. As long as he can remember, Capet has been a housekeeper in the royal family.

"Etiquette can't be broken, Your Excellency," Butler Cape replied with a smile.

When Constantine saw this, he didn't insist anymore. He raised his legs and stepped into the front seat of the carriage, only to find Nina, who was wearing a long blue silk dress, also sitting inside.

"You..." Constantine pointed at Nina in surprise, just as he was about to speak, but saw Nina put her finger in front of her mouth "shhh", winked at Constantine with a wink, and showed a pleading expression on her face. look.

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

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

The coachman gave you a reassuring expression, threw an empty whip, and with a "slap" sound, the four knights heard the signal and immediately turned on their horses. With a sound, the convoy slowly drove towards the iron fence gate of the manor.

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

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

Tatoi Palace is located in the deep forest in the north of Athens. On both sides of the road leading to Athens, tall and dense forests cross paths. The rising sun occasionally passes through the treetops and shines into the carriage. The sound broke the silence of the forest, and several birds flew 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 a life outside the palace?".

"Yes, will life outside the palace be very free?" Nina continued to look at the scenery outside the window without turning her head.

Nina is seventeen years old. Under the guidance of her previous tutor, she has completed her pre-university courses.

Nina is so smart that the tutor who was originally invited by Constantine didn't mind taking Nina as an extra student. Queen Olga always compared the results of the two and made fun of the gentleman. Tantin.

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

Although Nina was very smart and adapted to court life well, from the bottom of her heart, Constantine knew that Nina didn't like it.

He hoped that Nina could become an independent woman who was knowledgeable and assertive. If not, Constantine could not rest assured, and let Nina, a playmate who grew up with her since childhood, adapt to the complex and exciting external world.

When I think of my mother, Queen Olga's personal maid, Miss Avrora, who was dowry from Russia, with a gloomy face all day long, and then look at Nina, who is in the best years of her life and is in full bloom, Although a little reluctant, he still hardened his heart and said his plan.

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

They cannot fall in love in the royal palace. They are all in charge of the necessities of life. They have lived in the palace for a long time. uukanshu.com will be released from the palace, and there are often people who cannot adapt to life outside the palace and request to return to the palace.

They have adapted to the 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, and their families have been estranged.

Miss Avrora, she is 50 years old this year and has not married yet, so she called him Miss. She couldn't adapt to the ordinary married life, and she didn't plan to get married again.

She is the steward of the maid in the palace, and the male waiter is managed by the butler Capet.

Constantine didn't want his playmate, Nina, to meet the same fate as Miss Avrolla and live like a withered wood for the rest of his life.

When Nina heard Constantine's words, she immediately turned her head, looked at Constantine in surprise, and said, "I, I haven't made up my mind yet."

"You're very smart, it's a pity not to go to university, and you don't want to stay in the palace all your life." Constantine looked at her with pity.

Nina was an orphan. After she was born, she was sent to the church. She was sent to the palace since she was a child. She followed Queen Olga and was raised by Miss Avrora.

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

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

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

There was silence in the carriage for a while, and both of them were thinking about their own thoughts.

How much money does the Congo expedition need to have a result? It's really annoying.

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

I don't know what good news for Stanley.
