"Constantine, you go to Piraeus Port to meet Mr. Stanley today, remember to be more enthusiastic, he is now a hero", 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 Capet butler to prepare the carriage, so that we are going to the port of Piraeus," Constantine turned and said to Nina who was standing behind him.
Nina took the order and turned and left.
Constantine took the last bite of bread, stood up and said to Queen Olga and King George, "Then I will go."
After speaking, he took two steps back slowly, then turned and left the restaurant.
In the restaurant, Queen Olga looked at the leaving figure of Constantine and quietly said to George, "I'm just worried that Constantine's plan fails and will be hit hard."
"He is no longer a child, he should have experienced some things himself, if the little lion is not cruelly tempered, he will not be a king," George I said while looking at the newspaper attentively without raising his head.
Constantine came to the yard and saw from a distance a carriage parked on the gravel road in the yard. The carriage driver was sitting high on the driver's seat in front of the carriage. He had a wide view and a whip in his hands. Shaking his head and sneezing, four oil lamps were placed on the four corners of the carriage, four heavily armed knights were distributed in the front and rear, and the butler of Cape was standing in front of the car door.
"Your Excellency, the carriage is ready." Wearing a black tuxedo and a white shirt with a blue silk bow knotted cape, he opened the carriage door.
"Uncle Capet, you are still so kind." Constantine was very familiar with Capet. As far as he can remember, Capet has been the housekeeper of the royal family.
"Etiquette cannot be abandoned, sir," Cape's butler replied with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, Constantine no longer insisted. He raised his leg and stepped into the front seat of the carriage, only to find Nina in a blue silk dress sitting inside.
"You..." Constantine was surprised to point to Nina just about to speak, but saw that Nina put her finger in front of her mouth and "hush", winking at Constantine, her face begging look.
Immediately Constantine reacted, turned and looked behind him, there was nothing unusual, closed the car door with his left hand, and controlled his tone of voice and said, "Let's go."
The butler Kaper came to the coachman and said to the coachman who was sitting tall in the driver's seat with his head up: "Kafka, be careful on the road."
The coachman gave you a reassuring expression, flicking an empty whip, and with a "pop" sound, the four knights heard the signal and immediately turned on their horses. The two horses in the front opened the way, and the back two rode behind the palace, accompanied by "Da Da" horse hooves. 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 sigh, humming an unknown song in her mouth, leaning forward, leaning her head in front of the car window, and holding the window cloth with her left hand, looking at the scenery outside.
The Tatoy 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 dense forests. The rising sun occasionally passes through the treetops and shines into the carriage, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, with horseshoes. The sound broke the silence of the forest and flew several birds, "flickering and flickering" flapping their wings and flying away.
Looking at Nina curiously looking at the scenery outside, Constantine said in a warm voice, "Nina, do you want to live a life outside the palace?".
"Yes, life outside the palace, will it be very free?" Nina continued to look at the scenery outside the window without looking back.
Nina is seventeen years old. Under the tutoring of her previous tutor, she has finished her previous university courses.
Nina is so smart that the family teacher who originally invited Constantine didn't mind accepting Nina one more student. Queen Olga always compares the results of the two, and she often jokes about it. Tantin.
"Nina, you, do you want to go to the University of Athens to study?" Nina didn't like court life. She was actually a lively and cheerful girl, with red tape and strict rules in the palace. Nina's personality was incompatible with the royal life.
Although Nina was very smart and adapted to court life very well, from the bottom of his heart, Constantine knew that Nina didn't like it.
He hoped that Nina could become an independent woman with profound knowledge and opinion. Constantine couldn't let it go, so that Nina, such a playmate who grew up together, could adapt to the complicated and wonderful external world.
When I think of my mother, Queen Olga's close maid, and Miss Aphrola who was married from Russia, she has a gloomy face all day long, and then I look at Nina, who is the best time in life. Although a little bit reluctant, he still hardened his heart and said his plan.
Life in the palace is monotonous and boring, Some of the maids and waitresses entered the palace from childhood to learn etiquette and literacy.
It is impossible to fall in love in the palace. The royal family is responsible for their food, clothing, shelter and transportation. They live in the palace for a long time. When they get married, they will be released from the palace when they get married. Often people cannot adapt to life outside the palace. Request to return to the palace.
They have adapted to the life in the palace, and they are used to being instructed to do what they should do every day, because they have not been in touch all the year round, and their families have become estranged.
Miss Aphrola is 50 years old this year and has not yet been married, so she is called Miss. She has adapted to the unusual married life and has no plans to marry again.
She is the steward of the maid in the palace, and the male waiter is managed by the butler of Cape.
Constantine didn't want his playmate, Nina, to have the same chance as Miss Aphrola, to live like a withered wood.
Nina heard Constantine's words and immediately turned her head, looked at Constantine in surprise, and said "I, I haven't thought about it yet".
"You are very smart. It's a pity not to go to university, and you don't want to stay in the palace forever." Constantine looked at her pityingly.
Nina is an orphan. After she was born, she was sent to the church. She was sent to the palace since she was a child. She was next to Queen Olga and was raised by Miss Aphrola.
Although Miss Aphrola has a stern face all day long, she has a very close relationship with Nina. She treats Nina like her own daughter.
"After you go back today, please discuss with Miss Aphrola," Constantine persuaded.
Nina nodded hesitantly, seeming to consider Constantine's proposal.
There was silence in the carriage, and both of them were thinking about their own thoughts.
How much money is needed for the Congolese expedition to have a result, it is really annoying.
The horse-drawn carriage gradually entered the port area, and the environment became more and more noisy. The long whistle was heard from a distance, and it seemed that the port of Piraeus was approaching.
I don't know if Stanley has any good news.
