Chapter 2 A Man named Stanley

"His Majesty, Your Majesty King George and Queen Olga are already waiting for you in the dining room, and breakfast is ready", a voice suddenly came from around, interrupting Constantine who was meditating.

　　When I looked up, it turned out that it was my own maid, who came to tell me to eat.

　　Nina was two years older than herself. She entered the Greek royal court since she was a child. Since then, she has been sent to take care of Constantine and take care of Constantine's daily life. Although she is only two years older than Constantine, she She is wise and understandable, and she is loved by Queen Olga.

　　According to the Queen's intention, sending Nina to Constantine is not just as simple as giving Constantine a servant.

　　Although the royal family is born with a noble status and a glamorous appearance, it is just because of the high status and status that everyone will pay attention to wherever they go. No matter when and where, you can't lose the royal majesty and dignity. The court rules There are many, after a long time, it is easy to give birth to a sense of boredom.

　　Therefore, Queen Olga sent Nina to Constantine in the hope that Constantine could have a peer of his age as a playmate, to dilute the boring life of the court.

　　I saw Nina with her hands behind her back, her body leaning forward, her face facing Constantine, her tongue sticking out of her mouth.

　　She was wearing a black maid uniform, a white apron in front of her, and a white sanitary cap on her head. She was 17 years old when she was the most beautiful girl. She was slim, petite and fair. The brown eyes are clear and bright, the nose is small and firm, and the chest is undulating on a small scale.

　　An ordinary maid costume makes her look amazing.

　　"Nina, beware that Queen Olga sees you naughty and transfers you away." Constantine laughed with Nina, got up from the chair and walked with Nina thinking about the direction of the restaurant. .

　　"You should worry about yourself. Even if it's a royal family, I rarely hear that it costs as much as you." His eyes were fixed on Constantine, with a look of worry.

　　"The thing you planned, so expensive, can it really succeed?".

　　Nina is Constantine's servant and the person Constantine trusts the most. The two grew up together and knew each other. No matter what they did, Constantine would not hide her from her, so about Jun She knew almost everything about Constantine.

　　"It's up to people to do things, and as to whether it's done or not, then only God knows. Do everything and obey the destiny" Constantine said lightly, but there was a look of determination in his eyes.

　　Although the Greek royal family was born in the Danish royal family (Denmark is a country with a majority of Protestants, and the royal family is Protestant), Constantine was named Duke of Sparta at birth, heir to the Greek throne, and was baptized by Orthodox Church. Believer.

　　This is because Greece is a country where the Orthodox Church is the state religion. In order to win the favor of the people, the future king of Greece should unite with the people and share the same beliefs.

　　"The queen ordered me to come and summon you, to see her look, I am afraid it is to ask about that, you have to be prepared" Nina is still a little worried, Constantine will make Queen Olga lose her temper.

　　"Don't worry, Nina, I'm prepared." Constantine patted Nina's back with his right hand for comfort.

　　While they were talking, the two were already close to the restaurant, Nina walked two steps slowly to make herself one position behind Constantine, her expression on her face turned into solemn and solemn expression.

　　Constantine on the side saw this scene and wanted to laugh, but Nina slapped her arm for punishment.

　　The two walked to a European-style single-story building. In front of the red wooden gate, there were three stone steps that increased for the first time.

　　Constantine opened the door and walked in and entered a long corridor. On both sides of the corridor, there are some oil paintings hanging on the walls. The contents of the paintings are similar, such as a white tablecloth covered dining table with pottery filled with milk. , Placed in front of the plate, the plate contains slices of bread neatly stacked. Next to the dinner plate is a silver plate. In the silver plate is placed a bunch of red and round grapes like rubies, like pink peaches that exude a delicate fragrance, cut into pieces of watermelon with black seeds. Most of them are pictures depicting the dining scene at the table.

　　Every time you walk a certain distance, there will be two symmetrical statues on both sides of the corridor, which are characters from Greek legends, such as the peerless beauty Helen, and Prometheus who stole the fire.

　　After passing through the promenade, there is a spacious and empty hall. At the top of the hall is a fluorescent crystal chandelier. Just below the chandelier is a rectangular dining table. At both ends of the dining table sits a pair of middle-aged men and women. Luxury is the parents of Constantine, King and Queen of Greece, His Majesty George I and Queen Olga.

　　Except for the dining table, there was nothing in the empty hall.

　　Constantine walked towards the dining table, his shoes collided with the grid-like black and white tiles above the ground, making a harsh "stepping" sound, which was very clear in the empty hall.

The hall is so spacious that the sound of people walking around has echoes.

　　It is said that the reason the restaurant looks like this is to prevent people with bad intentions from approaching quietly.

　　The wide and grand hall, and the hard black and white tiles laid in the hall, will reveal any abnormal noise.

　　Constantine walked to the middle of the long dining table, pulled out a high-back chair and sat down.

　　"His Majesty George, beautiful Queen Olga, good morning", Constantine turned to the two of them and bowed their heads in greeting.

　　Nina stood respectfully behind Constantine, her hands hanging on her thighs.

　　George stared at the newspaper in his hand, and replied without looking up: "Morning, Constantine has already arrived, so let's start eating."

　　As soon as the voice fell, he put down the newspaper in his hand on the white tablecloth, and slapped his palms three times with his hands together.

　　As soon as the applause fell, a line of men dressed in tuxedos with neatly combed hair, with his left hand behind and dragging the plate with his right hand, came to the front of the three in an orderly manner. After placing the breakfast neatly, he bowed. He bowed, kept the salute, and stepped back before returning to his normal posture and exiting the restaurant.

　　Because it's breakfast, it's not complicated. A plate of sliced ​​oatmeal bread, jam on a plate, a silver plate device for fruit salad, a grape and two slices of citrus cut in half, and a cup of milk. In a glass, there is also some caviar as a condiment for bread.

　　Queen Olga put the napkin on her chest first, tidyed it up, took a sip of milk, then took a piece of bread, spread the jam, took a bite, swallowed it and wiped her mouth with her handkerchief, facing Constantine Ding said: "My dear son, how is your African Congo expedition plan going?".

　　Constantine didn't panic when he heard his mother's inquiry. He took the handkerchief on his left hand and wiped his mouth. The leader, today will take a boat to Athens, one is to report to us the progress of the expedition plan, and the other is to take this opportunity to rest for a while."
