The lounge fell silent. The only sound that could be heard was the breathing of the two people. Lin Shangzhou didn't know what to say, and Alexandrine was simply in a daze.

After being in a daze for a while, Alexandrine thought of something. She hadn't asked Fritz what his Chinese name was yet.

"Fritts, I've never asked you what your Chinese name is. Can you tell me?"

Alexandrine said to Lin Shangzhou.

"Lin Shang Zhou, Your Majesty, my Chinese name is Lin Shang Zhou."

Lin Shangzhou told Alexandrine his name word by word, and the Kaiser had a strange expression on her face when she heard Lin Shangzhou's real name. Although she had become familiar with Chinese after reading those three novels, she still found the pronunciation of Chinese very strange.

"Zero, sang zou?"

"No, it's Lin Shang Zhou"

"Lin rang chou?"

"Forehead…"

"Forget it, I'll just call you Fritz. It's enough for me to know your Chinese name."

After trying twice to say Lin Shangzhou's name and finding that she couldn't pronounce it correctly, Alexandrine gave up.

After being asked by the German Emperor what his Chinese name was, Lin Shangzhou felt a little more relaxed and less nervous, and he began to want to chat with the German Emperor.

"Your Majesty, besides my uncle and I telling you stories, what do you usually do in your spare time?"

Lin Shangzhou asked curiously.

“What do I usually do?”

"I have nothing else to do except to stare blankly and read books."

Alexandrine thought for a moment and said that apart from Lin Yangyu and Lin Shangzhou who told her stories, she felt that her life was very boring.

Lin Shangzhou was surprised by the Kaiser's answer. He didn't expect the Kaiser's life to be so boring.

"Although Leah is my sister, she has other jobs besides being my bodyguard. It's just that she has nothing to do in her other job recently, so she can stay in Wuyou Palace to accompany me every day.

"Sometimes I want to play with the maids, but they all have work to do, so I can only read or daydream."

After hearing what the German Emperor said, Lin Shangzhou felt that the girl in front of him was so lonely, and he felt pity for her. She was an emperor, but her daily life was so boring.

"Don't you have any friends your own age?"

Lin Shangzhou asked, "Does a 15-year-old emperor have no friends around him? Some politicians and nobles should ask their descendants to have a good relationship with her, right?"

"Friends? No."

Alexandrine shook her head.

(I should have known not to mention friends)

Seeing the emperor's lonely look, Lin Shangzhou felt very regretful. He should have noticed this earlier.

What can I do for her?

Lin Shangzhou felt very sympathetic towards Alexandrine's appearance. He could see that the identity of emperor did not bring her any happiness, but instead became a shackle for her.

"But it's okay. I've gotten used to it a long time ago. Besides, I have Uncle Forle around to tell me stories. So life isn't that boring. Now that you're taking over Uncle Forle's job, I hope you'll do a good job. I don't want my life to become boring in the future."

Alexandrine looked at Lin Shangzhou and said with a smile, and Lin Shangzhou immediately nodded. All he could do for the German Emperor was to work hard.

"I believe you will not be disappointed, Your Majesty."

Lin Shangzhou said confidently to the German Emperor in front of him.

"Well, I believe you."

Then Alexandrine asked Lin Shangzhou how his uncle was doing at home. After chatting about other things for a while, Cecilia came to the lounge and took her away.

Standing at the door and watching Cecilia and the German Emperor leave, Lin Shangzhou was determined to work hard.

After finding her sister, Cecilia took her to talk to Valdina. She asked her sister to apologize to the teacher and tactfully said that Valdina's course schedule was not suitable. As for whether Valdina listened to her or not, she didn't know. After all, it was not a good thing for the German Emperor to skip classes, and Valdina was a conservative person. Cecilia could only wish her sister good luck in her heart.

The next day, Valdina cancelled most of the course schedule and restored it to normal. Seeing this, Cecilia breathed a sigh of relief, and the German Emperor himself was naturally relieved as well.

As for Lin Shangzhou, he will have more job opportunities in the future.

Chapter 12 The Prime Minister's Nephew

A few days later, it was February 1st. More than half a month had passed since Lin Shangzhou came to this world. Except for the first week when he was not very busy because of Valdina, he had more work to do in the following week. He had to take the German Emperor to the library every morning. If he did not have Valdina's class in the afternoon, he would take the German Emperor to the opera house in the suburbs of Berlin. The workload was not large, but it was just too boring.

He was no longer as idle as he was in the first week in Wuyou Palace. Some heavy work was assigned to him by the maids, and his reward was breakfast and afternoon tea every day.

On February 1st, Lin Shangzhou sat on a bench in the square in front of Wuyou Palace to rest after helping the maid with her work in the morning. As he was sitting there, he heard the sound of a car engine. Turning his head, he saw three cars driving into the square.

Three cars drove into the square and then stopped. One and three soldiers in gray uniforms got out of the last car and the car in front respectively. One of them walked to the back seat of the middle car and opened the door.

Then a blond man with an arrogant look on his face got out of the car. Lin Shangzhou found that his clothes were similar to Cecilia's. While looking at him, he guessed that his status and identity must be extraordinary.

When he was looking at the other person, the man also saw him. The blond man glanced at him with disdain and walked towards the Worry-Free Palace under the leadership of Elena.

(So ​​unhappy...)

The look in the man's eyes made Lin Shangzhou very unhappy. Coincidentally, a maid walked by him with pruning tools. Lin Shangzhou stopped the maid and asked, "Karen, who is that man?"

The maid named Kallen stopped and answered, "You are talking about Lord Klein. He is the nephew of Prime Minister Albert and also a nobleman."

(The prime minister’s nephew?! Be careful)

When Lin Shangzhou heard the identity of the man, he immediately became alert. He remembered his uncle's words very clearly that he should not act too close to the Emperor and Cecilia in front of outsiders, especially the Prime Minister's nephew.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

After the maid left, Lin Shangzhou stood up. Although he didn't know why the prime minister's nephew came to see the German emperor, based on what his uncle said, he should reduce his contact with him.

So Lin Shangzhou decided to go out and hide for a while, and the place he wanted to go was the mill.

Ever since Noah took him to the mill that day, he discovered that the mill was a place for the maids to slack off. Some maids came here to slack off whenever they had nothing to do, such as Noah and Lol.

After taking a look at the three cars, Lin Shangzhou started walking towards the side door of Wuyou Palace. About ten minutes later, Lin Shangzhou arrived at the mill.

Entering the first floor of the mill, Lin Shangzhou climbed the ladder to the second floor and walked to the platform outside. After walking out the door, he saw Luo Er squatting on the ground fishing, with a black iron box and a few birds at his feet.

"Laurel, what are you doing?"

He moved closer out of curiosity, and when he got close to Luoer, he saw the little maid grab an unknown insect and put it in front of the black bird in front of her.

"Feed the birds."

The bird caught the insect in its mouth in one go. Seeing this, Lol clapped her hands, stood up and turned to face Lin Shangzhou.

"Brother Fritz, why are you here?"

She looked at Lin Shangzhou and asked curiously, because Lin Shangzhou usually only came to the mill when he helped the maid clean, and would not come here on his own initiative at other times.

"Someone came to visit His Majesty the Emperor, and I thought that person wouldn't like me, so I came out to avoid him."

Lin Shangzhou pointed at the three black cars parked in the Wuyou Palace Square in the distance and said.

Luo Er walked to the handrail and looked at the three cars in the direction of Lin Shangzhou's finger. After a few seconds, she turned to Lin Shangzhou and said, "Is Master Klein here?"

"Ah."

Lin Shangzhou nodded. Because of his uncle's words and the way Klein looked at him just now, he didn't have a good impression of Klein at all.

"Then His Majesty the Emperor should be leaving soon."

(Going out?)

Lin Shangzhou was startled and asked hurriedly, "What's the matter with His Majesty going out?"

"Brother Fritz, you don't know, every time Lord Klein comes to see the Emperor, the Emperor will most likely follow him out. I don't know where he goes, but the Emperor doesn't like this guy very much. Every time he comes back, he has a gloomy face."

Luo Er explained to Lin Shangzhou. After hearing her explanation, Lin Shangzhou immediately turned around and walked to the stairs to go downstairs. The German Emperor was going out, so how could he slack off at this time?

"Brother Fritz, don't worry..."

After arriving outside the mill, Lin Shangzhou heard Luo'er's shouting. How could he not be anxious? What if the German Emperor was going out and he was not there? That would be a big problem.

Lin Shangzhou ran quickly along the road. Every minute and every second was important now. After a few minutes, he ran back to the side door and continued to run to the front of the square. He was relieved when he saw that the German Emperor and Klein did not come out.

“Haha, haha… I’m so tired.”

He sat down on the bench to rest while catching his breath. Just now, Lol said that Klein's arrival meant that the German Emperor was going out. Although it was not certain, it would be better for him to wait here. What if he was going out?

Five minutes later, Lin Shangzhou saw Kaiser Alexandrine, Cecilia and Klein walking out of the Sans Souci Palace, with Elena following behind them.

After seeing them come out, Lin Shangzhou stood up and walked towards his car.

Klein felt unhappy when he saw Lin Shangzhou walking towards the car, and shouted at him contemptuously: "That Ching Chong, I don't need you to drive."

(No need for me to drive? The Kaiser travels in his car?)

Lin Shangzhou was stunned at first, then thought that it was okay not to be allowed to drive. After waiting for a few seconds, he realized that Klein called him a derogatory name: ching chong. The anger in his heart suddenly burned up.

He knew very well what this word meant. It was a derogatory term used by Europeans and Americans to refer to Chinese people in the past. He did not expect to hear someone use this word to insult him here.

Alexandrine and Cecilia, who were standing next to Klein, couldn't help but frown when they heard him call Lin Shangzhou like that. Cecilia said to him sternly, "Klein, watch your words. His name is Fritz, and he's His Majesty's driver. I don't allow you to insult him like that."

The soldiers also showed different attitudes, some gloating and some disgusted.

Hearing Cecilia defending him like this, Lin Shangzhou was deeply moved. He clenched his fists and turned to glare at Klein. He wanted to go up and punch this bastard, but he was not stupid. The two of them had such a huge difference in status that he had no other way to resist except to use his eyes.

Klein met Lin Shangzhou's angry eyes with contempt. After a few seconds, he snorted disdainfully and turned to Cecilia and said:

"So what if he is your Majesty's driver? This cannot change the fact that he is of lowly status. Lady Cecilia, don't forget that the reason why Emperor William let this yellow monkey and his uncle be drivers was because Emperor William thought a yellow monkey who could drive a car was very interesting."

Klein's words instantly made Lin Shangzhou's feelings of being touched and relieved disappear. Although he knew that this was Klein's way of insulting himself and his uncle, and that William II would not let his uncle be a driver for such a stupid reason, and that Alexandrine and Cecilia would never insult himself and his uncle like this, these words still had a great impact on him.

Instead, he felt more anger, but he couldn't do anything just by being angry. What made Lin Shangzhou even more angry was that he knew he couldn't do anything. Thinking of this, he tightened his fist.

“Klein! What are you talking about!? Don’t use your dirty thoughts to speculate on my grandfather’s thoughts!”

Alexandrine glared at Klein. She was already very unhappy when he insulted Lin Shangzhou before, and now he was talking nonsense.

"Ah... Your Majesty, please calm down. I really shouldn't have guessed what Emperor William was thinking. This is my mistake. I apologize."

Seeing the emperor was angry, Klein lowered his posture and apologized to her. Although he apologized, there was no apology in his tone, and it seemed to contain a hint of sarcasm.

"I want you to ask Firi..."

Alexandrine was rudely interrupted by Klein before she could finish her words. As he spoke, Klein walked to the car, opened the door, and made a gesture of invitation.

"Your Majesty, we can't waste any more time. I believe you don't want to upset my uncle."

"Forehead…"

Alexandrine glared at Klein angrily, then looked at Lin Shangzhou apologetically and pulled Cecilia into the car.

After closing the car door, Klein didn't look at Lin Shangzhou again, but turned and walked to his car.

Then three cars drove away from the square and headed towards the outside of Wuyou Palace. Lin Shangzhou looked at the cars going away, his fists not relaxing at all.

He was grateful for Alexandrine and Cecilia's protection of him, but this could not eliminate the impotent rage in his heart.

Noah came behind him at some point, looking at the extremely angry Lin Shangzhou, she said softly:

"Fritts."

Hearing Noah's voice, Lin Shangzhou turned around and looked at Noah who was standing behind him.

"What's up, Noah?"

"I know you can't help being angry, but being angry at that annoying guy will only make yourself feel bad."

Noah comforted her softly, extending his hand.

"Put your hand out. It must hurt when you hold it so tightly. Have a piece of candy to calm down."

After Noah's reminder, Lin Shangzhou realized the burning pain in the palm of his hand. He stretched out his right hand and placed it under Noah's hand. He then found that there were deep nail marks on the palm of his hand. If he had not cut his nails, his hands would have been bleeding by now.

Noah loosened his left hand, and a piece of red candy fell into Lin Shangzhou's palm. He put the candy into his mouth and thanked Noah.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. I just want you to stop being so angry. Being too angry is bad for your health."
