My Italy

"What, my father was assassinated?"

When Carlo learned the news from his mother, he was shocked.

He was still a little confused when he saw his mother walking into his room with red eyes. He didn't expect such a result.

"How's the injury?"

Now Carlo is very concerned about his father's injury.

"According to the Prime Minister, the telegram states that your father's injury is so serious that it will be difficult to transfer him to Rome for treatment."

When his mother said this, she couldn't help but shed tears again, and Carlo's heart sank when he heard this, and it became difficult to move, which cast some bad psychological shadow on him.

Looking at her son's performance, she thought he was worried about his father. Queen Margarida wiped her tears and continued. "I don't want to believe this fact, but this is a telegram brought by the Prime Minister himself. Get ready, we will go to Palermo right away."

Mother Ma left after saying these words. Next, he would tell his other children the news. God was so unfair to her. Why did her husband experience this?

The king was assassinated, and the news was too shocking for Carlo. Although he has only been in this world for more than a year, and he rarely sees his father because he is busy with state affairs, he basically checks in with them whenever he comes back, and he feels a strong sense of family affection from it.

Humans are not vegetation, so how can they not have feelings? So slowly he concealed his identity from the beginning and gradually accepted his parents in this life.

The news that his father was assassinated naturally surprised him. At the same time, he had a deeper understanding of Europe now. Kings are easy to be assassinated, and he can also see how chaotic Europe is now.

But now he couldn't care about anything else. He was going to see how his father was injured first.

Carlo quickly changed his clothes and rushed downstairs. Downstairs, my mother was talking to Prime Minister Cairoli, seemingly talking about the itinerary.

Carlo also noticed that the Prime Minister nodded to him as he walked down the stairs.

The Prime Minister's behavior naturally attracted my mother's attention. "Carlo, you came just in time. The Prime Minister has already prepared a ship to take us to Palermo as quickly as possible."

After hearing his mother's words, Carlo said sincerely, "Thank you for your arrangement at this time, we will keep it in mind."

"It doesn't matter, this is what I should do. I am also very sad about what happened to His Majesty, but I would like to ask the Queen to rush over as soon as possible."

After the Prime Minister said what was most important now, he continued. "I have sent people to bring the best doctors and medical equipment. In addition, in order to pray for His Majesty, I also went to the priest. I hope that His Majesty is safe and well."

Cairoli's words also fully demonstrate his ability as prime minister to take all aspects into consideration in the face of emergencies.

Queen Margarita was very grateful to hear that the Prime Minister had arranged for the best doctors and medical equipment. "Thank you Prime Minister for this arrangement. This is so important to my husband."

Such an outstanding prime minister naturally makes my mother feel happy. In this situation, he really needs someone to help him come up with ideas. When she heard that her husband had been assassinated, she was in a panic and could only think about her injured husband.

As for Carlo, he is a little at a loss now and can only comfort his grieving mother first. The fearless and confident attitude shown by those time traveling seniors was not seen in him at all.

Prime Minister Cairoli was worthy of being chosen by his father Umberto, and he fully demonstrated his abilities at this time. Two hours later, when the carriage arrived at Antium, the port closest to Rome, a large number of people were already waiting here, such as Interior Minister Judley, Minister of Health and Education Michal David, and others. It can be said that in addition to maintaining the operation of the government, most of the senior military and political officials are here.

Carlo was not familiar with these people, so he could only listen to the Prime Minister's introduction and say hello to these people one by one.

And this also gave him a bad feeling, it was too early.

But now he can't care about this, and his priority is to appease his family. At present, except for myself, my other brothers and sisters all have tears in their eyes after crying.

Of course, everyone now knew what the important matter was, and no one dared to waste time. After boarding the ship, the group immediately rushed to Palermo.

The Azalea is a high-speed cargo ship with a displacement of 3,000 tons. It usually transports high-value goods, but I never imagined that it would suddenly become a passenger ship.

But who made it the fastest ship in the port currently, reaching a high speed of 14 knots per hour. However, there are still a lot of goods on this ship that have not been removed, and people can tell at a glance that it is a cargo ship.

It's just that no one cares about it now, even the most sophisticated people don't have any dissatisfaction.

Two days later in the evening, the Rhododendron docked at the port of Palermo, and the person responsible for welcoming it was Mayor Narsh.

Speaking of which, the mayor was also pitiful. He let an assassin assassinate the king under his eyes. The moment the king was shot, he knew that he was finished. But even if he is dead, he still has to stand on the last duty. This is not because of his conscience, but because he hopes to make amends in his next actions.

So after receiving the telegram that the royal family and senior officials were coming, he immediately arranged for people to clean the port carefully, and at the same time called in the police to provide the highest level of vigilance. If there was another assassination, let alone he was finished, it is estimated that his family No need to run.

It's just that all these actions of his were a blind man's wasted effort. The people who got off the Azalea all had tired faces, and everyone had expressions of wanting to rest. However, if you think about it, you will know that the Azalea is a high-speed cargo ship. How comfortable can it be to ride on it? Even the royal family, who are in the best position, have tired eyes in their eyes.

However, they cannot rest now. They must follow the royal family to the hospital to check on His Majesty's safety.

So after the group boarded the carriage, they immediately rushed to the hospital.

San Siro Hospital is the best hospital in Palermo, but this best hospital has been strictly protected since His Majesty Umberto was sent here.

As the captain of the bodyguard, Baron Felici Mickey worked tirelessly to guard the seriously injured king. His eyes were filled with regret for himself. It was all his own fault that allowed His Majesty to be assassinated.

He had already known the news that the queen was coming today, but now he didn't want to leave the ward at all. He was heartbroken at the moment the king was assassinated.

With a bang, the door to the ward was opened, and a tired queen walked into the room with several princes and princesses.

"Queen, I..."

Felicity did not forget his duty and went up to the queen with apologetic greetings.

The queen was surprised by the appearance of Feli Mickey. His face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot with thick dark circles, and the stench on his body could not be dissipated for a long time.

"Your Majesty, Baron, you don't have to blame yourself so much for this. This is all God's arrangement."

His mother, a queen, stepped forward to comfort the captain of the guard who suffered a huge blow.

"Thank you, Queen, for being tolerant to me, but I am very aware of my fault. I am very sorry that I failed to protect Your Majesty."

In the end, the captain of the guard who paid the most attention to appearance cried like a child, which made everyone else want to forgive the captain of the guard.

The sound in the ward woke up the father in the hospital bed.

"Yes, Mada?"

My father's voice made my mother stop comforting the captain of the guard and immediately walked up to the hospital bed. "It was me. When I heard the news that you were attacked, I rushed over immediately. Are you okay?"

Umberto raised his hand with difficulty and replied with a smile. "How could this be okay? I almost thought I was going to see God right away."

My father's jokes didn't make my mother laugh.

"Carlo, where is my little Carlo?"

Faced with his father's sudden call, Carlo quickly walked to his side. "Father, I am here."

Seeing Carlo coming out in front of him, his father stretched out his hand to touch his face with difficulty. Carlo saw his father's struggling feeling and quickly put his hand on his cheek.

"Carlo, you have to promise me to take good care of my brothers and sisters, okay?"

"No problem, father, I will take good care of my younger brothers and sisters."

Feeling that his father was about to give his last words, Carlo immediately accepted the words and agreed.

"Cairoli, Cairoli."

Hearing his father calling the Prime Minister, the captain of the guard, who had recovered a little, immediately called the Prime Minister in.

"His Majesty."

When the Prime Minister walked to the bedside and saw the state of the kingdom, his heart skipped a beat.

"Prime Minister, I have felt the call of the Lord. But before I leave, I hope you can protect Carlo until he reaches adulthood, okay?"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely protect His Highness Carlo."

After feeling everything explained, my father said to himself. "It's a pity that I didn't get to see Amedeo. Otherwise, I would have wanted to talk to him. It's a pity. But that's enough for now. I didn't expect that I would end my life in this way. I hope that future generations will not have any objections to me. A good...evaluation..."

On April 21, 1880, Umberto I, King of Italy, passed away at the San Siro Hospital in Palermo. Although he only took the throne for more than a year, he still left a valuable legacy to Italy.
