Chapter 564: Not Hateful
If Polis and Elizabeth were in love, George wouldn't mind the marriage between the two families.
If this happens, it will be of great benefit to the stability of the Kingdom of Bulgaria and Romania, and even the areas around the Balkans and the Black Sea. George is happy to see it happen.
It’s not impossible to kiss one another, but it also depends on Alexandra’s attitude.
Carol once visited George with Ferdinand. George was not deeply impressed by Carol and did not understand Carol's character. Carol wanted to pursue Alexandra. If so, it must first pass George's investigation, otherwise Carol will have no chance to contact Alexandra at all.
As for the four battleships and so on, George only regarded it as a joke and didn't take it to heart at all.
The next day, George ordered his nephew Christie to investigate Carol.
Christie is the son of George's eldest cousin Mario. He is 22 years old. After graduating from Siberia University last year, he came to George and served as George's secretary.
Before Christie took action, Alexander came to inform.
Although Alexandra bullies her two younger brothers Polis and Alexander all day long, the children have a very good relationship. When Alexander learned that Ferdinand asked Alexander for Carol, After La proposed, he went directly to St. Petersburg University.
"This guy is a scumbag, and his behavior is unruly. There is still a legend in St. Petersburg University that he seduced someone's wife, was discovered by her husband, and later paid for the affair. It is said that this guy has an illegitimate child, and there is more than one."
< br>Alexander was amazed, the Grand Duke of St. Petersburg was not so out of tune.
Some Grand Dukes of St. Petersburg have done this kind of thing, but it is only after adulthood. During their studies, the Grand Dukes of St. Petersburg were still very pure, and the most they did was go to the theater. Give the actress a flower or something.
Even as adults, the archdukes are wary of taking human lives.
According to Russian inheritance law, intermarriage between nobles and common people will automatically result in the loss of the throne or the right to inherit the title. Ekaterina herself is a noble. When she and Ya Er caused such a big disturbance, Carlo I am Ferdinand's eldest son. He was killed when he was a student. I simply lost my mind.
The sectarian mentality in Europe is deeply rooted. Princes and Cinderellas are not unheard of, but most of the time, they end in farce.
George was very curious, didn’t Ferdinand know Carol’s character?
This is also almost impossible.
When Nicholas had just learned to give flowers to actresses, he was sent into the army by Ya San to closely protect Nicholas.
Although the Kingdom of Romania is not as powerful as the Russian Empire, Carol, as the eldest son of Ferdinand, will definitely become the king of Romania in the future. Ferdinand will not neglect the education of his children.
If Carol's character is really what Alexander said, then George would have to send someone to investigate Elizabeth.
As for Elizabeth, Anne has the right to speak.
Unlike Carol, Elizabeth has been closely protected by Ferdinand and Mary. She did not begin to participate in social activities until she came of age last year.
That's why Alexandra is still a big girl now.
Princesses will not participate in social activities until they reach adulthood. Even when they go out, they are surrounded by housekeepers, teachers, nannies, maids, grooms, and guards, which are out of reach of ordinary people.
The princesses' studies are all conducted by tutors at their own homes, and most of the learning content is how to become a qualified matron. A character like Alexandra's is really different, and most of them are like Ni. The daughters of Gula are so gentle, virtuous, elegant and dignified.
George would not push Alexandra into the fire pit.
However, George did not directly reject Ferdinand. While agreeing to the contact between Carol and Alexandra, he warned Alexandra that she must not accept any invitation from Carol.
No matter how incompetent Carol is, the friendship between George and Ferdinand for so many years is on display here. If they are not even given a chance, they might turn into enemies.
Your son abducted my daughter, but you didn’t even give my son a chance to pursue your daughter.
Why, your Yuriev daughter is so precious.
What a treasure.
Ferdinand and Mary had six children in total, three sons and three daughters.
Of the four children of George and Anne, they only have one daughter, Alexandra. Even if she is not married, Alexandra is still the Grand Duchess of the Russian Empire.
The Grand Duchess and the Grand Duchess are also different.
After Nicholas' sister Xenia married Alexander, she had almost nothing except her annual salary.
When Alexandra gets married, George and Anne will definitely prepare a generous dowry for Alexandra.
Although when Polis was king, Catherine gave all her private money to Polis.
Anne knew, however, that Catherine had already deposited a private trust fund for Alexandra.
Anne doesn’t know the exact amount of the fund.
However, the interest generated every year is much more than the salary given by the empire.
Alexandra is more than George imagined.
After getting George's permission, Carol dressed up like a big rooster and happily invited Alexandra to listen to the play.
Alexandra didn't like to listen to the drama, so she handed over an invitation to Carol to attend a charity dinner held at the Yusupov Palace.
Although Alexandra was closely protected by George and Anne, it was not that she had no contact with the outside world, but only a few people had the opportunity to enter Alexandra's social circle.
Many people are invited to the charity dinner at Yusupov Palace, but only a few people can get invitation letters written by Prince Yusupov and Duchess Yusupova.
It is normal for George and Anne to get this kind of invitation.
It was unusual that Alexandra also got a separate invitation.
George did not have time to attend charity dinners, so Anne usually did it for him.
Anne and her party arrived at Yusupov Palace and were warmly received by Yusupova and his wife. Yusupova's son Felix accompanied Alexander and Alexandra throughout the whole process.
This was Carol's first exposure to the heart of the Russian Empire.
Parties such as dinner parties also have the function of blind dates. If a prince falls in love with a princess, the prince can send an invitation to the princess, and maybe a beautiful marriage will be achieved. But if the son of a certain count falls in love with Alexandra, then he has to consider whether he is worthy of her.
In addition to Felix and Carol, Alexandra was also surrounded by the Tsar's eldest princess Olga, Alexander and Xenia's daughter Irina, and the little Alexander. Followers.
“Welcome everyone, our purpose today is to raise funds for the soldiers who fought bloody battles for the country in the Balkan War. I hereby announce that if the total amount raised this time does not reach 1,000 Ten thousand rubles, I will make up the amount privately and give it to our dearest Grand Duke Yuriev”
Felix's opening speech was impassioned, and Carol was secretly speechless.
As a prince, Carol's annual salary is less than 100,000 rubles.
As the Grand Duke of the Russian Empire, Nicholas Jr. had numerous part-time jobs, and his total income last year was only 1.5 million rubles.
This is public income.
“Your father is so stingy.”
Alexandra's words gave Carol a new understanding of Russia's top nobles.
“Don’t talk about my dad, or I will beat Sasha.”
Felix did not dare to attack Alexandra and took it out on Alexander.
Alexander sneered, you are so shameless.
“Alex, you shouldn’t say that.”
Irina helped, while Olga smiled and watched the fun without saying a word.
Felix was born in 1987.
Irina was born in 1995 and is about the same size as Alexandra.
“Oh, now the maintenance has begun——”
Alexandra spoke freely.
Alexander pouted.
Felix is handsome and the heir of Prince Yusupov, so he is very popular in the aristocratic circles of St. Petersburg.
But there are rumors that Felix doesn't like girls.
"Do you want to donate later?"
Olga took care of Alexander's mood.
"If there is something I like, of course I will buy it."
Alexander is a supporting role, and in this case Anne is the protagonist.
Anne was indeed very generous. She spent 1 million rubles at the beginning of the auction to buy a crown from the period of Emperor Ye, and then gave it to Alexandra.
Alexandra’s idol since childhood was Emperor Ye.
“Your mother is so kind to you——”
Olga was not without envy. The queen's attention was all on Alexei, and she could not help but ignore the princesses.
"That's because my grandma isn't here."
Alexandra didn't feel special.
"You already have a dozen crowns, can you give me this one?"
Alexander took the initiative.
"This is the crown of the Tsarina. What do you want this for?"
Alexandra handed the crown to Alexander casually: "I'll lend it to you for fun, and return it to me when you get home."
“Am I the servant who carries your bag?”
Alexander was furious.
“Take it!”
Alexandra glared.
Alexander took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and tried again, and again——
In the end, he succumbed to the eldest sister’s power.
“Alex, you have such a bad temper!”
Irina defended Alexander.
"Stop working, Sasha doesn't like girls."
Alexandra is pure slander.
Felix looked helpless. He really didn’t like girls as the rumors said.
It’s just that I don’t hate boys either.
