"Duland, look at the hairpin on that little girl's head. It's definitely stolen goods. Take it off and give it to me!"
While Mrs. Durand's husband was fighting with Christine, Mrs. Durand, who was standing not far away, immediately brightened up when she saw the hairpin on Christine's head.
Although this hairpin is nothing to Christine, it is made of pure gold after all. For a philistine like Mrs. Durand, a pure gold hairpin naturally arouses her greed.
When he heard the woman's words, Durand immediately noticed the hairpin on Christine's head. Like Mrs. Durand, Durand's eyes suddenly lit up.
For a small police officer, his salary is actually very limited. In this case, in order to satisfy his greed, it is inevitable to have dirty hands and feet, not to mention that a pure gold hairpin seems to be worth a little bit.
money.
"No, this is not stolen goods, this was given to me by Aunt Lisa!"
When Mrs. Durand accused the hairpin on her head of being stolen goods, Christine immediately argued with red eyes.
"Come here, I don't know what's going on in Lisa's family. Can they have a pure gold hairpin? Little girl, who are you lying to?"
As Durand said this, he forcefully pulled Christine's hair and tried to force the hairpin off.
At this moment, I heard a roar coming from the door of the tailor shop.
"stop!"
It was Neville who appeared at the door of the tailor shop.
Today happened to be the day when Neville was on duty, so Neville was not at home. And Christine did not notify Neville when she came to Neville's home.
Until one of Neville's neighbors saw Mrs. Durand rushing to Neville's house angrily, the neighbor immediately ran to the Brandenburg Gate to find Neville and told him the news.
Durand's hand was still holding Christineni. When he looked back and saw the menacing Neville, there was no fear on his face. Instead, there was a trace of joking on his face and he said:
"Who do I think this is? Isn't this Sergeant Neville? Don't you have to be on duty today? Are you kidding me about the discipline of the Prussian army?"
"Duland, tell your people to stop immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Neville yelled at Durand with veins jumping on his forehead, but Durand was not moved at all.
"I suspect that this little girl is related to your mother and a theft case, and if you saw it, this is the evidence. How can there be jewelry made of pure gold in your house? If this is not theft, what is it!"
"No, this is not stolen goods, this is what Neville's father left behind. This is something that belongs to our family!"
Before Neville could speak, Lisa, who was pulled by the two men, immediately shouted to her son.
"I don't care what your reasons are, put my mother and Christine down immediately, otherwise I will definitely be rude to you!"
"Oh, I want to see how you can be rude!"
Although Neville was a soldier of the Prussian army, due to the low status of the city defense army, Durand did not care about Neville's threat at all.
Outside the tailor shop, many residents of the Hasker neighborhood were already watching. However, several of the men looked at each other in private, and then focused their attention on one of the men who appeared to be the strongest.
"Captain, are you going to capture them all immediately? If you dare to offend the princess, you won't complain even if you kill them!"
A man whispered to the pretending man.
"No hurry, wait a moment, besides, it's not like you don't know Her Royal Highness the Princess's previous order. If that boy gives in, or if the Princess calls for help, then we will rush in immediately!"
As a majestic Prussian princess, how could there be no one protecting her secretly? Christine also knew this, so she had already given orders to the guards who protected her.
However, these guards can only take emergency measures when she is indeed in danger and calls for help.
Now, everything that happened in the tailor shop was under the eyes of these guards. Although Kristina's situation seemed a bit bad, it was not too bad after all. In addition, Kristine did not call for help, so she protected Chris.
Ding Ni's guard captain decided to wait.
Furthermore, he also wanted to see what Neville would do next.
Christineni often comes to Lisa's tailor shop these days. No matter how stupid these guards are, they still know why their princess comes here.
And like most people, these guards are naturally extremely dissatisfied with Neville. Neville is simply of low status, but his appearance can only be regarded as a middle-aged man. In the eyes of the guards, Neville
How could he be worthy of the beautiful Princess Christine?
"By the way, report the situation here to the palace immediately!"
Neville immediately waved his fist and pounced on Durand. Seeing Neville rushing towards him, Durand immediately let go of Christine's hand and greeted his accomplices:
"If Neville dares to resist law enforcement, come here and capture him!"
There was a moment of chaos in the tailor shop. You must know that Durand had brought several people. In this case, Neville was completely unable to defeat four hands with two fists.
Although Neville spent five years in the Prussian army, his skills were only average, and Durand also retired from the Prussian army before serving as the policeman of the Hasker neighborhood.
Suddenly Neville was at a disadvantage.
Seeing Neville who had been beaten to the point of bleeding from his forehead, Christine felt a twinge of pain in her heart, and then she could no longer care about anything else. She only heard her yelling:
"Guards! Come here!"
Even though Christine didn't remember what the people who protected her looked like, she believed that her words would be heard by these guards. Otherwise, these guards would be derelict in their duties.
After hearing Christine's shout, six people immediately rushed inside from the door. Then they targeted Durand and several of his accomplices.
"Who are you! You are risking your life. I am a policeman in the neighborhood and I am enforcing the law! You are shielding the criminals and obstructing law enforcement!"
The sudden change caused Durand's pupils to shrink immediately, and then he was heard shouting loudly at the unidentified people.
But these people didn't care about Durand's police status, and even their attacks became more and more severe. After a while, three of the four accomplices brought by Durand had fallen. And Neville was helped aside.
Seeing this, Durand immediately picked up the whistle hanging around his neck and blew it hard.
In Prussia, every peace officer or policeman has such a whistle. This whistle can be regarded as a tool for police to communicate with each other. As long as the whistle is blown in one place, the nearby police will immediately come for reinforcements.
.
Originally, Durand thought that after he blew the whistle, he would have to be wary of these people who suddenly appeared. However, the change in reality was completely opposite to what he expected.
A group of policemen rushed outside the tailor shop shortly after Durand blew his whistle. I don’t know whether this group of policemen were lucky or unlucky. They happened to be not far from the tailor shop. After listening to Durand’s whistle,
Naturally, he rushed over immediately.
Seeing several people in uniforms appearing outside the tailor shop, Durand's eyes immediately lit up with joy.
"Who are you? Immediately tell your identity and raise your hands to surrender. Otherwise, we will arrest you for rioting!"
Among the policemen who had just arrived, one policeman who seemed to have the highest status immediately shouted to the tailor shop.
Seeing the appearance of this group of police, one of the guards immediately came out and took out a nameplate from his waist pocket and said:
"This is my nameplate. We are the Royal Guards! Several people in the tailor shop are suspected of endangering the lives of members of the Hohenzollern royal family. According to regulations, we have the right to take over!"
The Prussian Royal Guards, in addition to being the royal guards and performing combat missions in wartime, in order to enable the guards of the Royal Guards to better protect the royal family members, there is a provision in Prussian law that
In matters involving the safety of royal family members, the Royal Guards have the right to intervene and take over.
Hearing the man hand over his nameplate, the police captain took it without hesitation. After verifying the authenticity of the nameplate, his eyes were suddenly shocked.
The Royal Guards actually appeared in the Hasker neighborhood, and according to what they said, it was obvious that there must be a member of the royal family nearby, but the Hasker neighborhood is just a low-level residential area in Brandenburg, so how could there be a member of the royal family coming here?
.
However, even though the police captain was confused, the nameplate could not be more genuine, so he immediately said with a flattering smile:
"I wonder which His Highness appeared in Haskell Street?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? What you have to do now is to immediately alert the area and evacuate the onlookers!"
After saying that, the guard took the nameplate and ignored the embarrassed police captain and returned to the tailor shop.
Although the conversation between the two people outside the door was not very loud, Durand in the tailor shop still heard a rough idea, and fear immediately filled his heart.
"I surrender, I surrender!"
Just kidding, although he didn't know where any of the royal family members were, since he could make the police outside to avoid intervening or even stop intervening, it only proved that the things here were obviously not something Durand could handle.
Mrs. Durand stood silent on the side of the tailor shop. Just after the royal guards rushed into the tailor shop, she let out bursts of screams. But seeing that these people didn't care about Durand's identity, Mrs. Durand knew
, I'm afraid today will be bad.
Unlike Durand, Mrs. Durand, who was near the door, naturally heard the conversation outside clearly. In this case, Mrs. Durand, who was shocked and frightened, was naturally frightened and speechless for a moment.
The situation in the tailor shop has been brought under control. Neville and Mrs. Lisa, who had been injured, were helped to the bench and sat down. However, the guards were staring at the captured Durand and his party.
But the guard captain who led the team to protect Christine walked up to Christine and said respectfully:
"Your Highness, these gangsters have been captured. They will pay the price for your offense!"
At this moment, Christine no longer looked like a weak little girl, her demeanor returned to that of a Prussian princess.
"I understand, Cheki, you did a good job, I will talk to Hornde about this!"
Hearing that Christine actually said his name, the guard captain immediately felt a little excited, and when he heard that Christine would communicate with Hornde for him, Chechi felt even more excited.
Great joy.
Seeing Chechi speaking to Christine so respectfully, and then listening to the content of the conversation, Mrs. Lisa, who was sitting aside, suddenly felt extremely uneasy.
And Lisa was the only one who was worried. Now in the entire tailor shop, except for Christine and a few of her guards, everyone was shocked by Christine's identity.
Of course, the Durand family and their accomplices are even more regretful. Who would have thought that the person they inadvertently offended was the majestic Prussian princess!
At this time, the entire street outside the tailor's shop had been blocked. The people who suddenly appeared were the Prussian Royal Guards, and William and Horne hurried to the tailor's house on horseback.
The door of the shop.
"Is this right here?"
Looking at the rather small tailor shop in the entrance hall not far away, William asked Hornde. After receiving Hornde's accurate answer, William frowned, then got off his horse and walked into the tailor shop.
Before, William asked Hornder to find Christine, but the answer he got was that Christine was not in the palace. Then Hornder received news that someone was bad for Christine. He cherishes Christine in his heart.
Naturally, William couldn't sit still.
Therefore, he insisted on coming despite Hornde's dissuasion.
"His Majesty the King has arrived!"
A royal guard who had already sensed it immediately stood at the door of the tailor shop and shouted. Just as he finished speaking, several guards in the tailor shop, as well as the royal guards soldiers and the police standing outside the door, started to shout.
William, who was walking quickly, saluted.
Just after stepping into the door of the tailor shop, Christine had just finished talking to Cheki. Seeing William's arrival, Christine immediately ran into William's arms and said:
"Brother Wang, those bad guys are so bad, they all bullied me!"
After hearing Christine's complaint and looking at Christine's disheveled hair and tears at the corners of her eyes, William immediately became furious.
Ever since Christine followed William, William has never been willing to let his sister cry. Even if Christine feels disgusted with people or things, she will definitely get rid of Christine the next day.
His side disappeared. In this case, how could William tolerate Christine being wronged by others.
"Okay, it's okay. Brother Wang is here, isn't he? Tell him who these people are, and he will definitely give you justice!"
Hearing William's words, a smile bloomed on Christine's face again. Then Christine pointed her finger, and the Durand family and the accomplices she pointed at were frightened.
"Your Majesty, the truth of the matter has been clearly understood. That guy took advantage of his status as a policeman to do evil, and even used violence against Her Royal Highness. According to the crime, no punishment is excessive!"
At this time, after listening to Cheki's detailed report, Horned also came to William's ear and said.
William let go of Christine and walked to the squatting Durand family and the accomplices and said coldly:
"You are really amazing. Her Royal Highness, the Princess of Prussia, was actually bullied to tears by you. You are Durand, right? If it weren't for Christine's status as a princess, would the Neville family be in trouble today?
I think you simply don’t regret your death! Someone will deal with you fairly later on in this matter. You will know the consequences of threatening members of the royal family later!”
After saying that, William ignored these guys who were ashen and walked to Neville and Lisa.
Neville and Lisa already knew William's identity at this moment, and they hurriedly wanted to salute William. Looking at the wounds on Neville's face and the blood-stained clothes on his body, William frowned and said with a straight face:
"No need to bow, Neville. I already understand your situation. Christine is my favorite sister, but the more I get to know you, the less I trust you."
"Brother Wang!!"
After hearing what William said to Neville, Christine hurried to William's side and said to William with pleading eyes:
"Brother Wang, didn't you promise me that I would make the final decision on my marriage?"
"Christine, of course. Not to mention the whole of Europe, there are so many young talents in Prussia. Neville really doesn't have any merit that can make me look at him! Besides, in the future, your dowry will be from Western Lithuania.
How can I leave millions of people in the hands of a person with no skills!"
But William's words did not waver Christine.
"I don't care, I like Neville. If you don't promise me, I will hate you, and I will leave Brandenburg and never marry!"
Christine said angrily to William. When he heard Christine's words, William's head felt heavy for a while. Then after thinking for a while, he had to turn his head and look at Neville and said:
"Neville, you're not young anymore. Logically speaking, I shouldn't compromise in this situation, but I promised Christine.
Let's do this. Christine's future husband will become the Grand Duke of Western Lithuania. I will first let you work in the government. This period is two years. Within two years, I will send someone to watch you. If you can pass the test
, then I will marry Christine to you. Otherwise, you will give up your heart as soon as possible!"
Under Christine's pleading, William finally gave Neville a way out. (To be continued...)
