Chapter 98 Friends
"Countess Sava...is she really okay?" Aisha asked curiously and concernedly at the dining table.
Xia Shu cut the steak from the plate as if nothing had happened: "Well, it's just a hard time on the journey and needs a good rest."
Elsa blinked her beautiful eyes: "Oh, I just heard from the maids that she looked so terrible when she was sick, like... possessed by a demon."
Sophie said bluntly: "Hmph, there is no demon possession. I think it's just acting! Some women, when they go to a place, don't think of how to survive by relying on their own strength, but try every means to get the mercy and help of men."
This jealousy is strong enough, Xia Shu said in her heart. Women can be without talent, but they cannot be narrow-minded. Otherwise, they will not only not be able to be a virtuous person, but they will also distract men's energy and drag their career backwards.
Elsa didn't seem to care about her sister's point of view, and it might be a bit difficult to understand at her age. She had already given up on this topic and focused on her meals, but after a while, Sophie gave her a few glances. The non-toxic and pollution-free little white rabbit had to ask Natsuki: "How long will she stay here for Countess Sava? If possible, I want to hear her talk about what Sweden is like."
Natsuki knew Sophie's intention and replied, "You should only stay for one night and leave tomorrow. If you want to know Sweden, the most direct way is to read books. Another day I will ask Chris to find you a few geography and history books about Sweden, huh?"
"Oh!" Elsa responded obediently and continued to have a quiet meal.
Sophie felt bored and ate some food and left the table. After she left, Natsuki asked Aisha: "What do you think of Countess Sava?"
When my sister was not here, Aisha showed her active and cuteness. The little white rabbit said to Xia Shu with a smile: "She is a great beauty. I think there must be many people who like her. If only I could grow like her in the future."
"Whether a person is beautiful or not, in addition to looking at his face and figure, his words and deeds are also very important. As long as you are a girl with elegant temperament and rich connotations, you will definitely win the love of many men. Do you understand?" said Xia Shu.
"Well, I understand, you must think that your sister is not elegant enough or connotative enough." Aisha blinked mischievously, "Don't worry, I won't tell her."
Xia Shu smiled slightly: "Aisha will definitely be a beloved girl in the future, right?"
"That's certainly." Elsa replied happily, "Actually... I think I'm a beloved girl now, what do you think?"
Infected by this innocent mentality, Natsuki temporarily put aside the problem he had been struggling with. He blinked at Aisha: "Full agree."
A shyness appeared in Elsa's smile, and her pink face looked very beautiful.
I don't know if it was fake sleepiness or real fatigue, Countess Sava did not leave the house all day, and all lunch and dinner were sent into the room by the servants, and his appetite was indeed like a poor patient. After dinner, Xia Shu took a walk with the two Oldenburg princesses as usual, and then went back to their rooms. When Xia Shu came to the countess' room alone, the clock hand in the corner of the wall had already pointed to eight-thirty pm.
The Countess, who looks quite like Nicole Kidman, said to Natsuki in a charming manner that ordinary people can't resist: "If your highness doesn't come again, the water in the bathtub will be cold."
"What a pity, I haven't been in the bathtub for several weeks." Xia Shu looked at his injured leg with a cast, "The doctor said it would take at least one month to remove it. Tsk, it's really bad to not be able to take a bath."
The Countess smiled with her mouth: "Your Highness is thinking too much. I just hope that someone will talk to you when taking a bath. This is not contrary to your conditions, right?"
The atmosphere was a bit weird, and Xia Shu suddenly felt that she had become a half-spoken and despicable character. Facing the countless ladies, she seemed to be a little tender.
Unlike Aisha, who blushed when she heard praise, even though she was undressed in front of Xia Shu, the countess was not shy at all. Moreover, when she stepped into the bathtub, she deliberately showed the mysterious and seductive scenery of the peach blossoms. The colors and shapes there did not look like the middle-aged woman who had been through the battlefield for a long time. Looking back on the infinite sense of pleasure that night, Xia Shu couldn't help but realize: This is really a god-given beauty. The old Count Sava should not have taken her as herself. From the day they got married, tragedy was destined!
Seeing that Natsuki's expression was a little strange, the countess showed a proud smile. The focus at this time was naturally not on taking a shower. She showed various seductive postures with erotic scenes. In such a sexy scene, those with a little less determinedness may find it difficult to escape the fate of nosebleeds.
"I'd like to ask, Your Highness seems to have a special liking for delicate and pretty young girls?"
"Yes, not exactly right." Natsuki used the Countess's previous answer method and did not explain much later.
"Speaking of this, the little princess of Oldenburg is also of this type!" The Countess said with her eyes closed, "The little princess who are just beginning to fall in love loves handsome, noble and excellent princes, what a perfect match... Is this your highness's backup plan?"
Xia Shu thought she had never been a spare tire, nor had she prepared a spare tire for herself, so he replied with a clear conscience: "My love is only one, and it is impossible to share it with a second person. Aisha is an innocent and lovely girl. I hope she can have a good belonging, but this belonging is not me."
"But your Highness has ever thought that you are the prince of Germany and Miss Hill is the British nobleman. With the current relationship between Germany and Britain, your union will definitely be subject to great resistance. Do you have the confidence to break this worldly prejudice by your own efforts?"
Natsuki did not answer casually, but thought about it, because the tone of the countess's question just now changed slightly from the previous one. Intuition told him that she had worked hard for true love before she fell, but the final result made her completely desperate.
Xia Shu said: "How powerful the power of the world is, it has made countless people give up their original persistence, but I still want to be with her wholeheartedly. It looks very childish, right?"
The Countess turned over and lay on the edge of the bucket, listening quietly to Xia Shu's speech.
"A person who lives a meaningful life should have his own dreams and pursuits, and work tirelessly for it. When I was sure that she was the only one in my life, I could have predicted that I would encounter many difficulties and obstacles in the future. The more I did this, the stronger my battle would be, just like the belief of a soldier would either win or fall on the road to victory."
"Back to your initial question, is the delicate and pretty young girl the type I like? Only when you see her, at that moment, will you know what type you like. Judging from the conditions, she and I belong to different countries, different ethnic groups and even different religious sects. We receive different educations, and we develop different thinking habits. Such pairing is simply terrible. However, love is so wonderful, and it can even be said to be unreasonable. When you wake up, there are only two roads left in front of you: either persist or give up."
Speaking of this, Xia Shu stopped. After waiting for a while, seeing that Xia Shu didn't seem to be a temporary stop on the way, the Countess seemed a little lost. She said in a low tone: "Two roads, you have chosen to persevere."
Xia Shuqiang smiled and said, "For me, there is no regret for being able to persist in such a thing in my life until I die."
At this time, he saw the countess's bright eyes slowly dimming, and he repeated the words just in a daze: "I will stick to one thing for my life, and I will never regret it until I die..."
Some truths are easier said than done. Seeing the countess muttering to himself, a dazzling thought suddenly appeared in Xia Shu's head: I really have enough determination to fight against the powerful world, even if I have a bloody head, I will be willing to do so?
My mood suddenly became entangled.
Xia Shu silently turned his wheelchair and left the bathroom without saying a word. He moved to the countess' bedroom window. He looked at the night outside the window and was full of thoughts until a faint fragrance brought him back to reality from his state of loss. The countess sat on the edge of the bed, wiped his hair with a dry towel, his bathrobe was neatly worn, and his white face was flushed with red glow because he had just finished bathing. Just looking at this scene, people should think that she was a beautiful and virtuous woman...
After rubbing her hair, the countess looked at Xia Shu with a smile, her eyes full of love, but also had a kind of misalignment.
"His Royal Highness of Prince Joachim of Prussia, you are a young and handsome royal genius in the minds of the world. People think that you should live in glory and pride, carefree, but you don't know that you have troubles that are difficult to solve. To be honest, when I first heard about the story of you and Miss Hill, I felt that you were just trying a fresh feeling. When I was tired of it, I would naturally give up this relationship that was difficult to achieve."
Xia Shu smiled bitterly: "Persistence or escape is only a matter of one thought, but the whole life in the future will take a completely different path. I hope that when I get old, I can hold hands with those who truly love for the rest of my life to watch the sunset."
The Countess's eyes were facing the ground. This was the first time Xia Shu saw her cold and arrogant expression. After a while, she raised her head and said to Xia Shu: "I was as determined to stick to love like you, but unfortunately things went against my wishes. Time cannot go backwards, but I sincerely wish you, Your Highness, I hope you can stay together."
Natsuki nodded at her: "Thank you, Countess."
The Countess smiled and said, "If you are willing to treat me as a friend, call me Amy!"
Natsuki said, "Then, take a break early, Amy!"
The Countess hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Your Highness, can you... be him once? Just this night, this time, and you will be hugged me to sleep."
Before Xia Shu could say anything, the countess quickly explained: "It's just a simple hug. I promise to abide by our transaction agreement and never reveal a word to outsiders. OK?"
Natsuki looked at her seriously, and there was no sensuality in her eager eyes.
After weighing the pros and cons, Natsuki agreed. With the help of the countess, he went to bed.
In the darkness, she crawled into his arms, turned around, and let Xia Shu hold herself from behind.
It was still in that era that Natsuki also liked to hold her lover like this, and she felt very happy.
"It feels so good to hold you, Amy." Natsuki whispered softly.
In the darkness, a crystal drop of tears slid from the corner of her eyes, slid across her face, and disappeared into her golden temples.
The next morning, in front of the castle gate, Countess Sava was still the beautiful and cold woman in black hat and black dress. She looked solemn, but she did not see any sad paleness, and the light in her eyes was obviously much clearer.
"I think she really loves you." Before saying goodbye, Countess Sava said to Natsuki alone, "Now, the Hill family is preparing to marry an English nobleman. That person cannot be compared with you in any way, but he comes from a very prominent noble family, Wellington. If the leader of the Hill family is dedicated to promoting marriage between the two parties, you need to think of a solution as soon as possible."
For Natsuki, it was very bad news, but his expression was not a little panic. He leaned over and kissed the countess' back of the hand: "Thank you, countess."
As she got on the carriage, she looked back and smiled at Natsuki: "So goodbye, His Highness Joachim, the noble Prince of Prussia."
"Goodbye, beautiful Countess Sava, my friend." Natsuki waved.
