Conquering the world from the Kaiser's driver

"Friend and secretary?"

Alexandrine said softly, and then she said to everyone: "I understand, let's go inside and sit down and talk."

She and Cecilia sat back on the original sofa, and Lin Yangyu also pulled Lin Shangzhou towards the sofa. After sitting down, Lin Shangzhou found that the sofa could only seat two people, and three people could sit if they squeezed together. Then he felt someone sitting on his left, squeezing him. Looking to the left, he saw that it was Louis who sat down, and Letitia stood aside, a little at a loss.

She looked at the sofa where Lin Shangzhou was sitting. It was already full. Louis sat there before her. Opposite was the Kaiser's sofa, where the Emperor and her sister were sitting.

She had to either stand or sit on the Kaiser's sofa. Although she was a guest, the person sitting on the sofa was the emperor. Could she sit there?

Noah was standing there because she was a maid, and she was standing here simply because she didn't know what to do.

The only seat left in the room was the chair behind the Kaiser's desk.

Alexandrine turned her head and looked at Letitia. She patted the cushion beside her with her right hand and said to her: "Letitia, don't be nervous. Sit next to me."

The emperor's invitation surprised Letitia. After thanking the emperor, she sat next to Alexandrine. After sitting down, she thought of what Lin Shangzhou said when she came over: "The emperor is just a teenage girl, don't be nervous."

Now it seems that I don’t need to be nervous.

After everyone was seated, Noah took the new tea set from the cart, and then he and Elena poured a cup of tea for each of the three of them.

Letitia was holding a teacup and looking at Cecilia who was sitting on the other end of the sofa with the corner of her eye. All she could see from the corner of her eye was Cecilia's profile and the top of Alexandrine's head. The queen was too short, and Letitia was taller than her even when she was sitting there.

Retracting her peripheral vision, she took a sip of hot tea with mixed feelings. To her left sat the German princess who had an agreement with Lin Shangzhou, and who was also her love rival. But strangely, she didn't feel anything after seeing Cecilia. It was completely different from when she saw Noah. She was still a little angry with Noah, but didn't have much feeling for Cecilia and Letitia.

(Could it be related to her identity?)

Letitia thought to herself that Cecilia was a German princess and she was just an ordinary commoner, and there was a huge gap in status between the two.

(Forget it, don’t think about it…)

Throwing away the messy thoughts in her mind, Letitia focused on what was happening in front of her.

Alexandrine looked at Louis who was sitting next to Lin Shangzhou with a little dissatisfaction. Letitia was Lin Shangzhou's friend and secretary, and their relationship was definitely not ordinary. She could be considered as one of his own. Although Louis was also Lin Shangzhou's friend, he was also a member of parliament. She should not act too close to Lin Shangzhou in front of him.

Cecilia naturally thought of this, so she leaned close to Alexandrine and whispered to her: “It’s okay, sister, just say what you need to say, don’t worry about Louis.”

Louise naturally saw the emperor and her sister whispering to each other, and just by the look in their eyes she knew it was about her.

After hearing what her sister said, Alexandrine nodded, and then the six of them began a pleasant chat, but it was basically Alexandrine who asked questions. She asked Lin Shangzhou question after question, all about Lin Shangzhou's affairs in Strasbourg. Lin Shangzhou answered them one by one and told Alexandrine everything about his affairs in Strasbourg, and in fact, he also told Cecilia and his uncle.

Faced with a conversation in which she had no say at all, Letitia drank cup after cup of tea, hoping to distract herself, but the price of doing so was that she had to go to the bathroom after more than ten minutes.

Alexandrine beside her was having a pleasant conversation with Lin Shangzhou. Letia felt that it would be inappropriate to interrupt her conversation, so she planned to wait a few more minutes. Five minutes later, Alexandrine finished one topic, and when she was about to start another topic, she saw Lin Shangzhou's eyes, so she turned her head and saw Letia with a conflicted look on her face.

"Letitia, what can I do for you?"

she asked softly.

"Um... Your Majesty, I need to go to the bathroom..."

"Oh, okay."

Alexandrine nodded, then looked up and casually said to Noah, "Noah, take her to the bathroom."

(I?)

Noah was a little surprised and unhappy, but she didn't show it. After agreeing, she took Letitia, who had already stood up, out of the office.

After the two walked out of the office, Alexandrine realized that she shouldn't have let Noah take Letiya to the bathroom. She also knew a thing or two about Lin Shangzhou's emotional problems. She knew that there was a maid on her side who liked Lin Shangzhou, and Lin Shangzhou had a female roommate in Strasbourg.

Now this female roommate is not only his roommate but also his secretary. One can imagine the relationship between the two. Even if she doesn't become his girlfriend, they are very close.

She let these two people who could be said to be rivals in love get together, who knew what would happen. Thinking of this, Alexandrine felt a little guilty towards Lin Shangzhou.

When Lin Shangzhou saw the two girls walking out of the room together, he couldn't help but feel worried. It was unlikely that there would be any conflict between them, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

While he was worried, Alexandrine asked another question, so Lin Shangzhou temporarily put his mind to it and focused on answering the Kaiser's question.

Chapter 115: Love Rival Alone (Part )

Noah took Letitia out of Alexandrine's office, and the two walked in the corridor of the Palace of Carefree Palace. She led the way quietly in front, and Letitia followed quietly behind her. When they came, Letitia was very curious about the art pendants in the corridor, but now her furrowed brow showed that the situation was not optimistic.

(I should have known not to drink so much tea...)

Letitia complained in her heart as she walked quickly. She looked at Noa's back in front of her, and kept urging her to walk faster and take her to the toilet.

Noah walked forward without looking back. She didn't know that Letitia was in a hurry, so she walked at a moderate pace. This made Letitia very anxious. Her brows furrowed even deeper. She wanted to urge Noah to hurry up, but when she opened her mouth, she remembered that Noah was her love rival. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if she urged her? So she closed her mouth.

(Is she walking so slowly on purpose?)

An idea popped up in Letitia's mind, and when Noah came out, he said to her, "Please follow me", and then walked in front of her without saying a word.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Letitia gave up the idea. Just like she didn't want to talk much with Noah, it was normal for Noah not to talk much with her. Why should she speculate about others with bad intentions?

After taking a breath, Letitia changed her thoughts and the topic in her mind, no longer thinking about Noah.

(This Wuyou Palace is really big...)

She turned her head to look at the window on one side and sighed in her heart. She and Noah had been walking for at least a minute and they hadn't even reached the toilet yet. The Worries-Free Palace was really big and it was worthy of being the palace of the German Emperor.

After a few seconds, Noah stopped, turned to Letitia and said, "Letitia, this is the toilet. I'll wait for you outside."

"OK, thanks."

After hurriedly thanking Noah, Letitia quickly opened the door and rushed into the bathroom.

After she rushed into the bathroom, Noah came to the window and looked at the garden outside. Her mood was not as complicated as Letitia's. Of course, she was still angry, but now she felt more sympathy for Letitia, or it should be said that she felt a sense of sympathy.

Because both of them face a biggest enemy - Cecilia.

She didn't understand why Cecilia made such an agreement with Lin Shangzhou. Later, she asked Cecilia about it, but the answer she got was "it was a spur of the moment". Noah was very dissatisfied with this answer. To gamble with herself and others, could this be something that happened on a whim?

But no matter how dissatisfied she was, the huge gap in status between her and Cecilia made it impossible for her to lose her temper with Cecilia. It was also this huge gap in status between the two that made her give up the idea of ​​being with Lin Shangzhou after she learned about their bet.

If Lin Shangzhou wins the bet, he will win Cecilia's heart. As a princess and a maid, she has no chance of winning at all. If Lin Shangzhou loses the bet, he will return to China because his family, Noa, cannot accompany him to Strasbourg, let alone to China.

So Noah changed her mind. Instead of continuing to think about becoming Lin Shangzhou's girlfriend or his wife, it would be better to just watch him quietly and accompany him. This would satisfy her.

As for Letitia's matter, Noah was not that angry anymore. With Cecilia around, the two of them had no chance of winning, so it was useless to be angry.

Shaking his head slightly, Noah stopped thinking about these things and began to think about what lunch to make for Alexandrine at noon today.

While Noah was thinking about Letitia, Letitia was also thinking about Noah. She finished using the bathroom early, stood in front of the faucet and washed her face with cold water, then looked up at her cheeks in the mirror. The water on her face was constantly flowing down, and finally dripped from her chin into the sink.

After wiping the water stains on her chin with her hand, Letitia turned around and wanted to open the door and go out. When her hand touched the door handle, she remembered that it was Noah waiting for her outside. How should she get along with Noah?

Letitia pursed her lips and tried to think about it, but the next second she thought of her decision to "keep a distance from Lin Shangzhou."

(Aaaaaaah… I’ve already decided to keep my distance, so why am I still thinking about this? Can’t I just do what I have to do?)

She roared silently in her heart. After taking a deep breath, Letitia turned the doorknob, opened the door and walked out, thinking as she walked: Just do what I have to do.

After walking out of the bathroom, she said to Letitia, who was standing by the window and turning to look at her, "Let's go back."

Noah had a faint smile on her face, which made Letia wonder why she was smiling like that? Was she thinking of something happy?

She didn't pay much attention to it and turned around to walk back. Before she took a step, she heard Noah suddenly ask:

"Letitia, do you know about the bet between Shang Zhou and Lady Cecilia?"

Noah's tone was very calm, and the pronunciation of the word "Shangzhou" was also very standard. If Lin Shangzhou were here, he would definitely be surprised.

When Letitia first heard this question, she was puzzled. Did Noah also know about the bet between Lin Shangzhou and Cecilia? Then she noticed that Noah called Lin Shangzhou "Shangzhou".

(Shang Zhou?)

She silently repeated this somewhat strange pronunciation in her mind, and then she suddenly remembered that this was what Uncle Forlanden called Fritz. Uncle Forlanden was Fritz's relative, and he affectionately called Fritz "Shang Zhou". So "Shang Zhou" was Fritz's Chinese name, but the surname... Thinking about it, Letitia remembered that the group of students in the international student apartment at that time called Fritz "Mr. Lin".

Then Fritz's real name is "Lin Shangzhou". It is a happy thing to know Lin Shangzhou's real name, but Letitia is not happy in her heart, because she knows it too late, and she learned it indirectly from Noah.

Uncle For called Fritz "Shang Zhou" instead of Fritz, which means that Fritz identifies more with his Chinese name. "Shang Zhou" is his real name. Calling him "Shang Zhou" directly made her think that Chinese people are the same as Germans, and they would call each other by their names to show affection.

This is a very normal thing, just like she called Lin Shangzhou "Fritts", and there is nothing wrong with Nuoya, as Lin Shangzhou's friend, calling him "Shangzhou"...at least it seems so...

Suddenly, Letitia felt an invisible pressure in her heart. In this Germany where everyone else called Lin Shangzhou "Fritz", Noah calling Lin Shangzhou "Shangzhou" didn't it mean that her relationship with Lin Shangzhou was closer than hers?

(It’s all my own fault—)

Letitia sighed in her heart. It was her own fault. She couldn't blame anyone else, least of all Noah.

She turned to Noah and said, "Of course, I know that. Fritz told me everything before we came to Berlin."

.

Chapter 116: Love Rival Alone (Part )

(Fritts told her about it before coming?)

Noah recalled what Letitia had just said in her heart, and suddenly felt dissatisfied with Lin Shangzhou. Lin Shangzhou told Letitia about this matter in person, but she knew about Letitia from other people.

The dissatisfaction was directed at Lin Shangzhou. What had the girl in front of him done wrong?

Nuoya looked at her enviously and said, "Shang Zhou is very good to you. I learned about your story from Mr. Bonaparte. If he hadn't told me about your story, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known about you until now."

"As for Shang Zhou..."

At this point, Noah frowned and said angrily, "I guess he won't tell me about you until the end."

Looking at the angry Noah, Letitia felt a little sympathy for her. Lin Shangzhou took the initiative to confess everything to her, but Noah knew about his own affairs from others. Letitia didn't know what Lin Shangzhou was thinking. He could confess everything to her but didn't have the courage to confess everything to Noah.

Letitia walked to Noah's side, looked at the garden outside the window for a few seconds, then turned to Noah and said, "Noah, how did you know about the bet between Princess Cecilia and Fritz?"

When Noah heard Letitia address Cecilia, her brows furrowed. She nervously turned her head and looked around to make sure that there was no one else in the corridor before she breathed a sigh of relief. Letitia was confused by her behavior. Why was Noah so nervous?

Noah said to Letitia in a serious tone, "Letitia, Lady Cecilia doesn't like being called a princess. She thinks the title is too pretentious and doesn't match her military status. I hope you remember this. Don't call her a princess in front of her in the future. You are Shangzhou's friend. Lady Cecilia won't show her dislike directly, but this will cause discord between her and Shangzhou."

Hearing this, Letitia's heart trembled violently. Fortunately, she mentioned the title of princess in front of Noah, otherwise she would cause trouble for Lin Shangzhou.

"Thank you for your reminder. I will keep it in mind."

Letitia sincerely expressed her gratitude to Noah, and her impression of Noah improved a lot. She could be said to be a love rival of Noah, so Noah could have simply not reminded her, causing Cecilia's disgust and embarrassing herself, but she didn't do that. Instead, she kindly reminded herself.

"You're welcome. It's my duty to correct your mistaking of addressing Lady Cecilia."

Noah had a faint smile on her face, and then she continued: "This is also for Shang Zhou's sake. You are his friend. If there is a conflict between you and Lady Cecilia, he will also be affected."

(It turned out to be for Fritz...)

Letitia's liking for Noah increased a lot. After all, she didn't want to cause trouble for Lin Shangzhou, and the two of them agreed on this.

"Then I will answer your question. The bet between Shang Zhou and Lady Cecilia was told to me personally by Lady Cecilia."

"what?"

Letitia opened her mouth in surprise. What was going on? Why did Cecilia tell Noah about this? What was she thinking?

Is it simply indifference? Or is it a declaration of sovereignty?

She really wanted to ask Noah what he thought about this matter, but Noah seemed to have something to say, so she suppressed her doubts and waited for Noah to speak.

When Noah thought about the completely different experiences between herself and Letitia, her mood became very complicated. She felt angry about this because she knew that these things were told to her by others, but Lin Shangzhou never thought of confessing it on his own initiative. She was also sad about this because Lin Shangzhou took the initiative to confess everything to Letitia, which made Noah feel unfair.

It was obvious that she liked Lin Shangzhou as much as she did, so why didn't Lin Shangzhou think of confessing everything to her?

She would take some time to ask Lin Shangzhou about such questions. Anyway, he had already returned to Berlin, so she had plenty of time to question him.

"We both like him, but our experiences in this matter are completely different... Alas..."

At the end, Noah sighed heavily, his words full of complaints and dissatisfaction towards Lin Shangzhou.

Facing Noah who suffered a setback in this matter, Letitia should have felt gloating, but in fact she was not very happy in her heart. She felt more sympathy and dissatisfaction with Lin Shangzhou.

She wanted to comfort Noah but found that Noah was looking at her with sympathy, which made her feel very confused. Why was she looking at her like that?

Noah said in a very sympathetic tone: "But you and I have the same experience in one thing."

(? What’s going on?)

Letitia was very confused and waited quietly for Noah to speak.

"That means you and I will both have to face Lady Cecilia who shows up halfway."

Hearing Cecilia's name, Letitia's heart was immediately deflated. Noah was right. They both had to face a sudden enemy - Cecilia.

Suddenly, Letitia felt a sense of mutual sympathy for Noah. They were both facing Cecilia, the enemy, so what was the point of being angry with her? In the end, Lin Shangzhou would not be with her.

Noah had the same idea in her mind, otherwise she wouldn't have said this.

The two looked into each other's eyes and laughed after a few seconds.
