Chapter 614 Wedding Date
Qin rode a tall horse and came to Craven, extending his left hand to invite: "Beautiful lady, can I invite you to ride with me?"
Of course Claire can ride a horse, but at this time she also smiled softly and made a lady's bow: "Of course, my... Your Highness."
The two of them were riding together, and the weight of the war horse was still within the acceptable range.
It was also Claire's first time to visit Swan Castle, so she was very curious.
While looking at his younger siblings, Qin took Claire for a walk around the Swan Castle.
Included were the army and knights stationed nearby, as well as a separate horse farm.
The two were in high spirits and wandered around for an entire afternoon before catching the two crazy little guys back to Swan Castle.
"Hans's knighthood course is about to end this year, and he will probably be sent to university to continue his studies." Qin suddenly said.
Claire glanced at him, sensitively aware of Tiandao's subtle emotional changes.
She had heard about the so-called infighting in the royal family. In the face of power, family ties are sometimes very fragile.
In fact, even the emperor cannot control all the thoughts of his children.
This topic is also quite sensitive.
Claire thought for a while and said, "I think this is a good thing. There is no young eagle that has not experienced ups and downs. After Hans has studied for two years, we will find him a noble girl from the North as his wife, and he will be considered an adult."
Qin just lamented that Hans had no impact on his status so far.
The eldest son decides everything. As long as he doesn't rebel, no one can shake his position.
It's just that he has also read history books, so it is inevitable that he will have some associations sometimes.
Fortunately, Claire's reminder was timely, and her mother also told her more than once that she would find a noble girl from the North as a wife for Hans in the future.
I didn't pay attention to it before, but now I think about it, this is a silent reminder from my parents.
It was a secret inheritance of the Augusta family that the prince should not marry into the noble family. If Hans married a noble girl from the North, he would be eliminated early.
The emperor and his wife are calmer than anyone else and know that preference is the best choice for the family.
You must firmly support your eldest son from the beginning, and don't let others have other ideas. If you hesitate, you will cause trouble.
Sometimes preference is not necessarily a bad thing.
Qin smiled in relief, dismounted and took Claire down, and the two held hands and entered the castle.
At the dinner, Derek announced the results of the afternoon's discussion with Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
"I will hold a wedding for you on the first day of the new year next year."
There is no complicated engagement ceremony, and the time of the wedding is directly decided.
The two of them have no objections. It happens that Qin will be eighteen next year and can be said to be an adult.
The next day, while the Smith family was still on vacation at Swansea Castle, the newspapers first reported the explosive news.
The eldest prince's marriage has been decided, and the future princess will be the daughter of the Minister of Electricity.
The wedding is approaching and the first day of the new year is approaching.
No matter which news it is, it can trigger a big discussion among the residents of the imperial capital.
Although similar topics have been discussed for several years, and the rumors have been aired countless times, the royal family marrying a commoner princess still aroused huge discussion.
Judging from the current universal values, even the common people themselves feel that this marriage is very unworthy.
It is almost an unspoken rule accepted by everyone that nobles do not marry commoners.
It suddenly broke, some cheered, and some objected.
As Benjamin sat in the car, he could hear people on the roadside talking about this matter.
For Benjamin, who regarded himself as a descendant of a noble family, he also found it difficult to accept.
After reading the newspaper given by the hotel, Benjamin complained with some dissatisfaction: "It's simply... destroying tradition. How can a prince marry a commoner?"
Although he was dissatisfied with the rule of the Augusta family, he was even more dissatisfied with this class-breaking behavior.
As a member of those who once had vested interests, he wanted to maintain the aristocracy in his heart.
He even wanted to inherit the glory of his ancestors and get a title.
The driver said nothing and glanced at the rearview mirror.
He is the hotel's driver, and the car is also the hotel's car.
He was very disdainful of this guy who worked for the Gentiles.
It just so happened that, as one of the few civilians who supported this marriage, he wanted to say: "Aren't you a civilian too?"
Of course, considering the issue of his job, he suppressed his words rationally.
When they reached their destination, the driver slammed on the brakes, and Benjamin was caught off guard and hit the front of the seat.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm sorry, sir, I'm not familiar with the road here and almost missed my destination. Would you like to rest for a while before getting off the car?"
Benjamin got out of the car cursing and complaining about the poor professionalism of the hotel driver.
He came here to look for his former classmates.
After graduation that year, the whereabouts of those classmates were recorded, but after ten years of no contact, he was not sure whether he could find them.
But with Sanger's money, he had to work.
So he found the whereabouts of the squad leader from his memory, and he inquired about the address and found him.
Daxia Third Mechanical Research Institute!
Ten years ago, this research institute was a newly established institution. The squad leader who had performed very well at that time was directly transferred there, which was equivalent to assigning work.
Benjamin was also envious and jealous. Although he said it was unreliable, he was extremely envious in his heart.
But when he came back ten years later, he found that his brain was a bit insufficient.
The Third Mechanical Research Institute of Daxia covers a huge area. The gate alone is more than ten meters wide. The place where he stood was a small gate opened separately.
The guards at the gate were all soldiers with live ammunition. Seeing him in a daze here, they had already cast their eyes here.
Benjamin shuddered all over and muttered: "What's the use of a large research institute? It's just a dead salary. Even the research results are not mine. I am a rich man."
He felt his confidence back, tightened his newly customized formal clothes, and walked to the guard post with a dignified manner.
"Ask... Is Hena Bergen still here? He is a mechanical student from Hadley University who was assigned here ten years ago."
The sentry stared at him nervously, moved the muzzle of the gun over, and asked loudly: "Who are you?"
"I am his classmate. I haven't contacted him for many years. I just remember the department he was assigned to that year, so I came to ask." Benjamin explained quickly. He didn't want to be misunderstood. He hadn't enjoyed his rich life enough, and he couldn't die.
The guard looked him up and down with sharp eyes.
Benjamin was well dressed and didn't look like a liar.
"Your name, then follow me to the waiting area for inspection, we will notify you."
"Benjamin, you will know who I am as soon as you say it."
One of the guards watched Benjamin enter the waiting room.
Then someone searched him from head to toe to make sure he didn't have any dangerous items before letting him sit down and wait.
