Under the bright sunshine, a vast hunting team drove into the royal hunting ground in southeast England. The long-legged hunting dogs always remained excited and searched for traces of their prey in front of the team.

For princes and nobles, the goal of hunting activities is not the animals in the hunting ground. Men ride tall horses, showing off their agility while talking big or flattering. In late summer, the royal hunting ground with beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery is full of vitality. In just half a day, the hunting team has harvested a lot of wild animals.

Before the baptism of war, Xia Shu was always active in hunting activities, but during the war, he saw many bloody and cruel scenes, especially when he was personally missing death, he had a new understanding of the meaning of life. When he came to the British royal hunting ground, although he carried a hunting rifle, he did not mean to use it. The beautiful weapons were purely a decoration.

During the hunting trip, Xia Shu did not follow King George V, who had no favors for him, but instead found a more ideal partner among the British royal family, that is, George V's eldest son, Prince Edward, 21.

At this time, Prince Edward was handsome, handsome, young and sunny, smart and humorous. As the heir to the throne of the British Empire, he had prominent titles such as Duke Rosassi, Duke Cornwall and His Highness of Wales. During the war, he joined the British Army to serve. Although he had not participated in the frontline battles, he visited France several times and was supported by military officers and soldiers. The status of the crown prince of the empire was recognized by all walks of life. If nothing unexpected happens, he would wear the British crown a hundred years later. However, there were many surprises in history. In the old time and space recognized by Xia Shu, this great young man later became an alien of the British royal family. Less than a year after he inherited the British throne, he voluntarily abdicated because he insisted on marrying divorced American woman Wallis Simpson. Later, he became well-known to the world as the Duke of Windsor.

After Prince Edward, George V and his wife also had four sons and one daughter, namely Prince Albert, 20-year-old Prince Mary, 18-year-old Prince Henry, 15-year-old Prince John, 13-year-old Prince John and 10-year-old Prince John. The childbirth results are only slightly inferior to those of William II.

Hunting is like smoking and drinking, and has always been the patent of men. However, this is another era full of change. Feminist thoughts are beginning to emerge, especially in Europe, where women are gaining more and more equal rights, so it is not surprising that Princess Mary and Princess Favmode appear in the hunting team. However, Xia Shu is not interested in these two British royal family members who are in their youthful season. It is not because he has prejudice against British princes and nobles, but because their tough and atmospheric facial features and strong and well-proportioned appearance really do not meet his standards for choosing a partner. Along the way, Xia Shu did not come forward to meet him, and the two ladies who are about to marry were not too proactive, so they are in peace for the time being.

Next to the summer wooden house by the lake, the attendants set up a fire, and the fragrance of roasted pheasants and hares spread, making them feel appetite. Xia Shu was sitting next to Prince Edward and chatting with him, Princess Mary and Princess Favmode came to them with baskets filled with berries.

"Dear Your Highness, please try the gifts nature has given to Britain, which is so sweet." Princess Mary said to Natsuki in a very fluent German.

Prince Edward looked at Xia Shu and said in equally fluent German: "If this were our little Mary picked and washed by herself, it would have tasted very good. She was a natural gourmet."

Princess Mary cut a short hair similar to Princess Favmode. Although this hairstyle makes her look very capable, it highlights the shortcomings of her big face and thick facial features. According to Xia Shu's appearance scoring system, it is probably difficult to achieve even 60.

Britain was defeated in Germany, and the armistice treaty was signed less than three months ago. At this time, the British heir to the throne and the eldest princess talked to others in German. If it was known to outsiders, it would inevitably attract disgust, which was enough to show that they had a private favor to Natsuki.

Before becoming a candidate for the throne of Ireland, the shining light of Xia Shu had conquered countless young people, influenced them throughout Europe, and even spread far to the other side of the ocean.

Xia Shu had a polite smile on her face and twisted a purple-black berries from Princess Mary's basket. The plump flesh was made. The intact appearance didn't feel like it was picked purely by wild. When it was sent into her mouth, it was sweet and had almost no trace of tangle.

“Very delicious, no worse than planting in an orchard.”

After hearing Xia Shu's words, the two ladies' expressions were not unnatural, but Prince Edward next to him was smiling with his mouth covering his mouth.

The eldest princess glared at her brother fiercely.

Most of the British royal family are proficient in German and French, and Princess Favmode is no exception. She followed and said in German: "Our Princess Mary is full of curiosity about all kinds of novel machinery. I heard that His Highness Joachim is a genius inventor in the field of machinery, so he admires His Highness very much."

Xia Shu deliberately looked frustrated: "But most of the machines I designed were used on the battlefield and became terrible murder machines. This is actually no different from criminals."

"Your Highness, don't say that." The British princess quickly comforted, "During the war, almost all machinery is related to military affairs. Should all inventors be regarded as vain?"

"Your Highness the Princess is so understanding." Xia Shu turned to Prince Edward and said that this guy finally stopped his unscrupulous smile. He kept saying yes under the gaze of Princess Mary's kindness and power.

"Our Princess is not only understanding, but also understanding horses. She knows all kinds of horses, and is also a very excellent rider." Princess Favmode played the role of a best friend who accompanied the blind date. If Prime Minister Bona Lau had not mentioned her admiration for herself at the dining table, Xia Shu might have been blinded by her positive performance. Best friends are often the most dangerous rivals, which makes sense. Princess Favmode's appearance is slightly better than Princess Mary, and her confidence and conversation are more than the latter. If what Natsuki wants is a life companion who has both status and savvy and capable, which can help him establish a brand new Irish dynasty, then Princess Favmode is obviously a more suitable choice than Princess Mary.

Xia Shu has always kept a distance from scheming women. He did not continue Princess Favmod's words, but instead buried his head in eating berries. It was not until Prince Albert of England came over with a hunting rifle that he took the opportunity to change the topic: "You have gained a lot today! Dear Prince Albert."

The young guy in front of him is the second heir to the British throne, George VI in history. His experience is surprisingly similar to the current British King George V. In their youth, because the prestige and ability of the genuine crown prince meet the expectations of the people, they were never trained as future monarchs, but became professional naval officers, and their personalities and temperaments left a mark of perseverance and indomitableness.

However, although Prince Albert is handsome, he suffers from severe stuttering, so in various public places, his silent performance is in sharp contrast with Prince Edward's talkativeness. What is amazing is that in the history of the old time and space, the relationship between the two brothers was enough to make a bloody drama. Prince Edward did not love the country and the beauty, while Prince Albert was a kind of miserable love. After being rejected many times, he finally married a British aristocratic girl. However, his princess was obsessed with Prince Edward and married Albert under the pressure of the royal family and family. In the years that followed, these two emotional entanglements that were like evil fates have always troubled the British royal family, thus leaving behind many fascinating secrets.

"Two wild ducks, one pheasant, and there seems to be a hare?" Prince Edward looked at his younger brother with a kind expression. Such detailed questioning method made Prince Albert just need to answer with a simple "hmm".

At the hunting occasion, Prince Albert was dressed in ordinary clothes and could not see the toughness of a soldier. However, at the previous banquet, he wore a standard royal naval dress. Albert had joined the British Navy to serve before the end of the war, and the British Navy was defeated by the British government and the military would not allow a member of the royal family to board the ship. During the bleakest period of the late war, Prince Albert actually spent the Navy staff on the land.

Although he did not fight face to face with the German fleet at sea, his eyes looked at Xia Shu with a fierce look of resentment.

Xia Shu was not worried that Prince Albert would take advantage of this hunting opportunity to create an accident. Today, Britain threatened to kill him, and did not care about adding a young royal family. It was just that the seeds of hatred had been planted. If he had become the British ruler by chance as miserably as history, this emotional tendency would inevitably have an irresistible impact on his future decisions.

From this perspective alone, Natsuki seems to be more looking forward to Prince Edward ascending to the British throne. However, it is a little too early to consider these things. George V is in his prime. According to the historical trajectory, the crown of the British Empire will be worn on his head for another 21 years. If nothing unexpected happens, the European landscape in the next twenty years will still be determined by the influence of William II and George V on the cousins.

"It seems that Prince Albert's shooting skills are very good. I hope I have the opportunity to ask for advice," said Natsuki.

Prince Albert answered "Okay", then sat down on the other side of his brother Edward, and unceremoniously ate the berries from Princess Favmod's basket.

The more he ignored the other party, the more interesting the Xia Shu felt. He looked at the exquisite metallic pattern of the shotgun that Prince Albert had placed beside him, so he asked him for a look.

Out of courtesy, Prince Albert did not refuse, but before handing the shotgun to Xia Shu, he retreated the bullet inside the gun.

"Beware...going fire..." he explained with difficulty.

Xia Shuying said: "You are a very careful and thoughtful person, it is rare, Your Highness."

Prince Albert was not happy at all because of Natsuki's compliment. Instead, he frowned and threw berries into his mouth without saying a word.

"Sorry, Your Highness, Albert's best friend died in the Battle of the Faroe Islands. He and his father both served on the Iron Duke. This made Albert feel very sad. I hope you can understand." Edward said, reaching out to put his hand on his brother's shoulder, his brother's considerate feelings beyond words.

"Yes, I can understand that many of my classmates and friends have died in the war or lost part of their bodies. As soldiers, we have no choice when the war comes, but when we can, we should try our best to avoid using war means to resolve conflicts. Diplomacy and negotiation is always the first option. What do you think, Your Highness?"
