At this moment, Neville was just immersed in shock about the true identities of Christine and William. Neville did not react to William's words for a moment.
Neville's performance undoubtedly made William give him a very low score.
Seeing the dissatisfaction with Neville on William's face and Neville's stupidity, Christine quickly walked to Neville and said:
"Neville, why don't you thank Brother Wang quickly!"
"Ah, princess, thank you His Majesty the King for this!"
At Christine's reminder, Neville quickly saluted William and said, but William frowned and said to Christine:
"Okay, Christine, come back to the palace with me!"
"No, look, Aunt Lisa's house was turned into a mess by those bad guys. I want to stay here to help Aunt Lisa clean up!"
After hearing William's words, Christine quickly refused.
But now, how could William allow Christine to refuse? William said to Christine without any doubt:
"I will have people come and clean up here. You must go back to the palace with me immediately! Also, you will never be allowed to run out of the palace privately in the future. This is my order!"
After saying that, William waved to Hornd, who understood what William meant and quickly walked to Christine's side and said:
"Your Highness Princess, please don't embarrass us. Please go back to the palace with His Majesty the King!"
Seeing this situation, Christine, who knew she couldn't refuse, walked to Lisa's side and held Lisa's hand. She said with a smile on her face:
"Aunt Lisa, I'll come see you next time!"
After saying that, Christine turned around and followed William out of the tailor shop.
And just when Christine stepped out of the tailor shop, Neville made a lunge to walk to Christine's side, but was stopped by the royal guards. Seeing this situation, Neville quickly shouted
road:
"Your Highness Princess, you must take good care of yourself!"
Hearing Neville's voice, Christinni paused and then turned back to Neville and smiled:
"Neville, I'm waiting for you to pick me up at the palace!"
Seeing this look between the two of them, William felt even more dissatisfied. Didn't the behavior of these two people make William look like an unkind villain who beats a mandarin duck with a stick!
"Horned, go back. You have someone talk to this Neville. Of course, no force is allowed. You just need to let him understand that Christine's feelings do not represent the development of the matter. I will watch carefully in the palace.
His performance!"
After saying that, William got on the horse, and after Christine got on the carriage, the group quickly returned to the palace.
And just after the Royal Guards soldiers evacuated the street, Lisa's tailor shop was immediately surrounded by countless Hasker residents watching the excitement.
After today's scene, almost everyone on the street knew that the little girl who often visited Neville's house was actually Her Royal Highness the Princess of Prussia, and she was also His Majesty the King's most beloved Princess Christine.
Seeing this scene, Lisa quickly closed the door of the tailor shop. When she saw Neville, who seemed a little lost, sitting on the chair, Lisa quickly said:
"Neville Christine is actually Her Royal Highness the Princess. I know you admire Christine very much, but now you have to think carefully about the next thing! Of course, you are my son, no matter what choice you make,
I support you!"
Seeing the serious expression on his mother's face, Neville struggled slightly, but soon, Neville said to Lisa:
"Mother, didn't His Majesty just ask me to work in the government? Then I will go. For Christine, although my identity is a very obvious obstacle, for Christine, I will not give up easily.
!”
Hearing what Neville said, a smile appeared on Lisa's face. She took Neville's head into her arms and said:
"Silly boy, since you have made your choice, how can I not support you as a mother? Besides, if you pass His Majesty the King's test, then you will be a grand duke in the future. Of course my mother will encourage you!"
It is no secret that William used Western Lithuania as Christine's dowry. Even when William made this decision a few years ago, it became a hot topic throughout Prussia.
At that time, countless Prussian men were envious of the lucky guy who might be favored by the princess in the future. At the same time, they also dreamed of becoming that lucky guy.
It took place at Neville's house, let's not mention the conversation between mother and son for now.
After William and his party returned to the palace, William immediately called Christine into his office.
Seeing Christine who was uncharacteristically well-behaved in front of him, William felt angry but couldn't express it to Christine. So after a while, William sighed and said:
"Christine, next time you go out, you must not be like today. Look, you were almost hurt by those bad guys!"
"Brother Wang, I'm not a fool. Look, I didn't call the guards later! And you were too harsh on Neville today. Neville is a good man, and he is still my benefactor. You should repay him well!"
"
After Christine took over William's words, the conversation turned to Neville, which made William, who was already dissatisfied with Neville, even more angry.
"How else can I repay him? Do I have to give him the Prussian princess and Lithuania as a reward?"
Christine's face turned red when she heard William's words. How could the smart Christine not hear the hidden meaning in William's words?
At this time, Louise also came to William's office. When she saw the anger on William's face and the aggrieved look on Christine's face, Louise immediately had a confused look on her face.
If we say who is the closest to William among the current members of the Prussian royal family, then there is no doubt that it is Christine. In the past, William also loved Christine extremely. He never said a harsh word.
In the current situation, it is obvious that William is angry with Christine.
"Mom, there is something I want to discuss with you!"
After William and Christine finished saluting Louise, William looked at Louise and said, and when William spoke, Christine suddenly felt something bad in her heart. She quickly said:
"Brother Wang, no!"
When Christine's words just fell, William glared at Christine fiercely. Seeing this scene, Louise became even more puzzled.
Before this, except for the guards who protected Christine, only Hornde and William knew about Neville's matter. But William believed that after today, the entire upper echelon of Brandenburg would know about it.
It's about Will.
After all, the story between Neville and Christine contains quite a lot of fairy tale elements. What's more, when William and his party hurried to the Haskell neighborhood just now, they were seen by many people. As long as these people have a little understanding, they can
Get the answers you want easily.
Therefore, William felt that in this case, it would be better for him to communicate with Louise.
"Do you think this matter can be kept secret? I'm afraid that after today, the whole of Brandenburg will know about it. How can we let mother be kept in the dark?"
William said to Christine angrily, and after William finished speaking, Christine suddenly felt uneasy.
If William can still leave a way out for Neville under her pleading, then as long as Louise knows about this matter, then obviously based on Christine's understanding of her mother, the conservative-minded Louise
She will never agree to Christine marrying Neville, and don’t even count on the slightest possibility!
"Okay, William, just tell me if you have anything to say!"
Looking at the look between the brother and sister, Louise immediately spoke to William, and after Louise finished speaking, William said:
"Mom, it's like this. A man named Neville is pursuing Christine, and Christine also has some affection for this Neville."
"This is a good thing. Christine is not young anymore. Now she is at the age of marriage. Tell me, which family does this Neville belong to? Christine, you are still hiding this kind of thing from me."
After hearing what William said, Louise quickly said with a smile.
As parents, they naturally hope that their children can get married as soon as possible, and Christine's marriage caused a huge sensation among the upper class throughout Europe because of the dowry William promised to give.
At that time, the British Ernst and the Austrian Karl were causing a commotion in Brandenburg, and the source of the problem was that they were both pursuing Christine and regarded each other as their biggest love rivals!
After speaking, Louise had already walked up to Christine and stroked Christine's long hair, saying with joy in her tone.
But neither William nor Christine picked up after Louise finished speaking, which forced Louise to ask Christine:
"If your brother doesn't tell you, then Christine will tell you who this Neville is. He has captured my daughter's heart without saying a word. It seems that I want to summon him to have a good meeting with him."
Just one face"
"Mother, Neville is a Prussian soldier!"
Under Louise's gaze, Christine had to give an ambiguous answer. She just hoped that Louise would stop asking, but obviously Christine's hope would definitely be in vain.
"Oh, soldier! William, you are familiar with the generals in the army. This young talent from the Neville family, you might as well invite them all to the palace tonight, and I will host a banquet in his honor!"
William was speechless for a moment, and then William had to say:
"Mother, Neville, whom Christine has a crush on, is currently a squad leader in the Brandenburg Castle Defense Force. He is not a descendant of a commoner family."
William was relieved after he finished speaking, but Christineni, who was standing next to Louise, clearly felt that her mother beside her felt a higher pressure than before after William finished speaking.
"What, a civilian background! Christine. How did you come to interact with civilians? Or is this Neville deliberately trying to deceive you because of your identity?"
"Mother, Neville did not deceive me. He is a very good person. And he didn't know my identity before today!"
Hearing Louise's slanderous tone towards Neville, Christine quickly argued.
"Okay, Christine, although the Hohenzollern royal family does not attach great importance to family background, a good family background and education are also capital to measure how far a person can go! A mere ordinary soldier with a civilian background, his future can be
What can you do?"
Louise is a princess of Hesse, and her views on common people are the same as those of the upper-class nobles of this era. Origin and education are powerful proofs of how far a person can go in the future. An ordinary commoner without a good education
Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible to enter the upper class society.
Just imagine. Even if people in the upper class do not have a superior background, some of them have not received a good education. This is common at all times and in all countries. And don’t forget that this era is considered the budding period of capitalism, and the aristocrats still have their own
of reserve.
"No. Neville is very nice. He is also very nice to me. That's enough!"
Just after Christine finished speaking, Louise, who was a little angry, immediately said to Christine:
"Don't even think about leaving the palace this month. Also, William, take the time to ask Neville to come see me! I want to see what kind of person he is. How brave he is!"
After saying that, Louise left William's office angrily before William and Christine could finish talking.
But just after Louise turned around and left, Christine sat on the chair in William's office, covered her face and started crying.
Seeing Christine like this, William felt unbearable in his heart.
"Christine, if you want to be with Neville, even if I don't tell you, you will definitely have to pass the mother's hurdle, and you think Neville, who is good in your mind, can be obtained from your mother.
How high is the evaluation? But don't worry, even if my mother disagrees, the opportunity I gave Neville will not change. But I gave Neville a chance. If he can't prove himself within two years,
Then it only means that he is not worthy of you.
I believe you should be able to understand your brother’s painstaking efforts!”
After speaking, William took Christine into his arms.
The allied forces on the French front returned to normal status again, and the two Prussian divisions that had already approached Rouen also returned to Beauvais.
William III in Rouen felt very lucky because he no longer had to think about how to stand between Britain and Prussia. However, because of the conflicts between Britain and Prussia, the original offensive plan of the northern coalition was completely disrupted.
The British no longer trusted the Prussians, so under the orders of the British government, the coalition forces in Rouen immediately began to consolidate the currently occupied areas and stopped moving westward along the English Channel.
Duke Andrew, who was originally located in Rouen, also received an order from the British government to immediately lead the army north after the signing of the memorandum of understanding. However, this order was immediately rejected by Ferdinand.
The reason why Duke Andrew was allowed to lead his army north was precisely because the British were worried that the Prussians would fall out again.
But for Ferdinand, he was the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. Although the British government could control the British troops in the coalition forces, it at least needed to seek the consent of him, the supreme commander of the coalition forces. But at the moment, the British government turned a blind eye to him.
, this had to make Ferdinand feel dissatisfied.
And for Ferdinand, Duke Andrew's British army was also a bargaining chip in his hands, a bargaining chip to exchange for a steady stream of baggage for the Prussian army!
At present, the Prussian army relies on the British for most of its logistical supplies, and Britain and Prussia had agreed at the beginning that the Prussian army's logistical supplies for the war in France would be uniformly supplied by the British.
But once Duke Andrew leads the British army north, who knows whether the British will cut off the supply of Ferdinand's Prussian army. In Ferdinand's view, there is even a possibility that the British will no longer supply the Prussian army after Duke Andrew goes north.
As high as 80%.
In this case, Ferdinand thought it was necessary to keep Duke Andrew's team.
And currently, although France has sent a negotiating mission to express its intention to negotiate, for Ferdinand, he needs to be on guard against the French. Who knows whether the French sending a negotiating mission is a paralyzing method.
Ferdinand, who had already suffered heavy losses under Napoleon, believed that he must be suspicious of the French actions.
Moreover, Duke Andrew's British army currently only has 6,000 men. For Ferdinand, why not kill two birds with one stone?
Although Duke Andrew also protested Ferdinand's attitude, at least for now, Ferdinand is still the nominal supreme commander of the coalition forces. According to the original agreement, the first thing they need to follow is Ferdinand.
Nan's military order, so under this situation, Duke Andrew had no choice but to accept the reality.
The war between Bagration and the Swedes has been going on for several months. Although Sweden continues to increase its troops towards Lithuania, for now, Bagration, who is showing great courage, is facing a Swedish army with three times its own strength.
The team was not at a disadvantage.
Of course, this was also due to Bagration's constant efforts to win over those Slavs in the areas controlled by the Swedish army who were unwilling to be ruled by Sweden.
Even taking advantage of the cooling weather and the unfamiliar terrain of the Swedish army, Bagration worked with an anti-Swedish armed force to annihilate a partial division of the Swedish army with a strength of 5,000.
