Chapter 76 Just Because of You

Dear Miss Charlotte Hill:

The weather here has become warmer. Is England still as humid and cold now?

Today, our Naval Academy football team played a Naval League match. The opponents were from a battleship, most of which were stewards, and they were extremely strong and had a few big men of 1.9 meters. As usual, we won the victory with delicate skills. With six games left, our team ranked third in the first-level team in the Naval League, only two goals away from the first place. The difference in points left due to long-distance training is recovering step by step. What a perfect thing to make up for the regret of not being able to win the championship last year before graduation.

I am about to graduate, and my companions have various plans for their future. I, to be honest, hope to become a senior and excellent naval commander like Duke Hill. In fact, I am not a soldier for war, but to protect my home, defend peace, and pursue the honor of a soldier. The outstanding Hill family must have joined the army for this purpose!

Looking back on the past, time flies. We have known each other for four years and two months. It has been almost two years since the "Tulip" came to Germany. Thanks to Louise's careful care, it has grown into a strong and beautiful horse, running faster than most horses of the same age. From its clear eyes, we can see that it still misses its owner deeply, so we warmly invite you to travel to Germany at any suitable time, and wait for your reply on specific matters.

Once again, I would like to offer you and your family the most sincere blessings.

Joachim, who misses you in a dream

Under the soft light, Xia Shu signed the signature on the exquisite letter paper, folded it meticulously and put it in an envelope. He looked up and saw a clip-type photo frame on the table. On the left is a recent photo of his younger sister Louise, and on the right is a half-body photo sent by Charlotte last year. Their youthful and beautiful faces and elegant temperament make people jealous of the Creator's preference, and in comparison, they have completely different charms. Looking at the photos of Yiren for a moment, Xia Shu felt moved and flipped out the box containing each letter from Charlotte from the drawer. The last sign was on Christmas Eve. Looking at the beautiful handwriting, it felt warm. The wild geese conveyed a stronger friendship. But when they thought about it, they had not received new letters for more than 40 days. Could it be that something happened?

Last fall, his family sent Charlotte to the British Women's Noble School in Elizabeth Women's College in London, and began a two-year study. Through the communication in the letter, Xia Shu felt that Charlotte did not like college life. In fact, the goal of this aristocratic school was to cultivate ladies who were proficient in etiquette, decent and obedient, so that they could adapt to the role of a woman in the upper class in advance. In my impression, Charlotte was a smart girl. She had a full curiosity and curiosity, and had a unyielding personality in her bones. Perhaps she had always wanted to prove herself in some way. What is certain is that this method was not to marry into a wealthy family and become a role of taking care of her husband and children.

Although there are no boys and almost no male teachers in the Women's College, this does not mean that Xia Shu can rest assured. After all, it is London, the world politics, economy, and trade center of this era. It is not surprising that the politicians are prominent here. In addition to the chance encounters when going out, the students of the Women's College may also act as matchmakers in nothing wrong. These are the potential factors that cause changes.

Marriage is not the main goal of her current stage, and Xia Shu knows it well. However, an extraordinary girl like Charlotte is not something that can be met anytime and anywhere. In the royal aristocratic circles of various German countries, almost no female of the right age can be attracted by Xia Shu.

Procrastination is a taboo in love, so Xia Shu decided to take it on in person.

As graduation approaches, the naval cadets are busy with papers. Whether they can hand over an excellent, even highly acclaimed paper is directly related to their future in the German Navy. As a member of the royal family and a superstar among the same class, Naka Shu has no worries at all. He has long co-wrote with Christian to complete the "Research and Development Prospects of Torpedo Weapons and Vehicles" and published it in an internal Navy publication, which received high expectations.

Because he had no academic concerns, Natsuki quickly embarked on a journey to London. His hardcore partner, Christian, the Prince of Alden, was very active in joining the support team, but Natsuki wanted to handle his emotional affairs in a low-key manner, so he did not let Christian participate in any form except informing him of his whereabouts.

After more than ten years of pampering, Xia Shu's ability to live independently did not seem to have serious deterioration. When he came to London alone, he successfully settled himself in his residence, and then hired a taxi to Elizabeth Women's College. The white walls surrounded by green vines, grand Victorian buildings, spacious and clean carriage roads, lush forests and shrubs, its appearance naturally reminded Xia Shu of the Magic Academy in "Harry Potter".

As expected by Natsuki, strict access control management prevented outsiders who had not obtained approval from entering the academy, nor allowed boarding students to go out at will. He tried to bribe the janitor to pass on the message, but was bombarded by the old-fashioned and inhumane guy.

The plan failed, Xia Shu found a cafe near the college and sat down. While drinking coffee, she asked the waiter about the college. The waiter was a brunette-haired and raised-necked British girl. She looked a few years older than him, with a good appearance and a plump figure. After lunch time, there were only a few customers in the store. She saw Xia Shu being handsome and capable. She not only answered questions, but also had a charming smile in her eyes. Xia Shu had no interest in her people, but only cared about the information she provided: this aristocratic college only accommodates aristocratic, officials and girls from wealthy families. The number of students has never exceeded 1,000. It is divided into several classes according to the age and identity background of the students. Only a small part of the academic courses are used to train manners, cultivate sentiments, and teach communication skills in the upper class.

In addition to theoretical study, the college will also hold some social banquets, and only social celebrities with a good reputation will be invited. On the one hand, students experience and adapt to the atmosphere of the upper-class circle through such banquets, exercise social skills, and accumulate social experience. On the other hand, many people also hope to get to know their ideal partners through this opportunity. After first gaining a favor, most people will increase their understanding by letters and contact each other, and occasionally hit it off, women will end their studies early and hold their wedding. These are normal situations. As for abnormal situations, the waiter maliciously gives some hints that are easy to make people imagine.

The Hill family is a pure British aristocrat and has a long and glorious naval background. Of course, the elders hope that Charlotte's marriage will be a good match or even a step further. With limited relationships and correspondence, Xia Shu has no way to judge her attitude towards feelings and marriage. Maybe she had a clear idea, and maybe she was also unwilling to consider these too early, just like Louise. No matter what the actual situation is, there are infinite possibilities in the future if she and Charlotte have never determined their relationship.

From noon to evening in the cafe, Xia Shu did not see a student going out, nor did she meet the staff inside the college. I think there would be no chance at night. He settled the bill and was about to leave. The bar waiter who received a 20p tip, a handsome blonde young man revealed to him a situation: the college boiler workers would go to a nearby tavern every day after the evening shift, and spend some money to get them to the college boiler room from the back door, which was only one step away from the student dormitory, and some people met their little lovers in this way.

With the right guidance, the next thing became very simple. Without a clever tongue, Xia Shu bribed the college boiler workers for only 5 pounds. In the small tea room with a bad environment, he waited for nearly half an hour nervously, and then, Charlotte Hill, dressed in student costume, appeared.

"A big surprise!" Xia Shu smiled and spread her hands, but there was no smile on Charlotte's small and handsome face. His cold eyes made him feel chilled in his heart. His steps towards the other party could not help but slow down, and finally stopped three steps apart.

Facing the other party's cold face, Xia Shu felt that the smile on his face was already unnatural. He asked in a calm voice: "What's wrong?"

Charlotte looked at him with a glaring moment, and said coldly: "His Royal Highness Prince Joachim, you mentioned the scenery in Sweden in your letter and your old friends there, but you deliberately concealed your special experience there? It's amazing and ecstatic, right?"

Hearing this, Xia Shu was shocked: How could she know that she had a one-night stand with Countess Sava?

Before Natsuki could figure out these things, Charlotte continued to use a cold and fierce sentence comparable to an ice skate: "In Karlskruna, Sweden, there is a mermaid who is fascinating to the world. She uses her charming dance to attract every handsome young man in the past. There are countless people who worship at her feet. Some of them are gentlemen and nobles, some are captains and seamen, and some are noble princes, such as... the German prince who is known as the genius of Hohenzollern, His Highness Joachim!"

Xia Shu's face turned red and white, and he could speak cleverly and eloquently, and there was nothing to say at this time.

"His Highness Prince Joachim, it is your freedom to be romantic, but please stay away from me by someone like you!"

Leaving the cold and resolute disconnection, Charlotte glanced at Xia Shu with contempt and turned and left resolutely. Xia Shu woke up from her deep shock and wanted to recover him, but she was helplessly slowed down. At the door of the boiler room, the furnace steward who led him in blocked his way: "Hey, man, you don't want to go into the police station, I don't want to lose my job, so let's stop here!"

Looking at Charlotte's figure that soon disappeared into the night, Xia Shu felt empty. He had never felt this way before in his life, and his thoughts were messy: Who should I blame? The "**** girl" who was killed thousands of times? Perhaps Gustav, who had deep difficulties? Is this an accident or someone's intention?

He was sent out of the back door of the college by the furnace steward, and Xia Shu walked alone on the quiet street. The cold night wind made him quickly calm his mind. The most important thing at the moment is not to pursue the truth of the complex and distant events, but how to deal with the relationship between himself and Charlotte Hill. If you choose not to act, it means giving up, and treating this as a regretful dream. When you wake up, you are still the optimistic German prince, with only family, friendship and career left in your life.

If you want to save it, you must win Charlotte's favor again with honesty and persistence.

Give up or save?
