My Italian Chapter 124

The sun is shining and the weather is bright, which is a good weather for traveling, so there are many people traveling on the street.

Like a statue, Leifer sat meticulously on the carriage. Today is his first day as an adjutant to the king. With such a lot of pressure, he can't help but be nervous. It is better to show His Majesty the king his military literacy in the attitude of a soldier.

But it didn't take long for him to fail.

"Here it is, Adjutant Leifer."

"Oh."

After getting out of the car, Lefer looked at the majestic Quirinale Palace and felt a little dizzy in his heart.

But fortunately, the guards who were waiting for him here eased his mood.

"Is that Major Leifer?"

"Yes, it's me."

Facing the question from the guard at the door, Leifer straightened his clothes and stepped forward immediately.

Seeing Leifer walking forward, the guard looked at him and asked again. "Are you Major Paul Tourney du Lefer?"

Facing the guard's question, Leifer smiled slightly. "If no one else has this name, it should be me."

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to confirm."

After the guard apologized, he continued. "Please come with me, the captain of the guard is waiting for you."

"Lead the way ahead."

Under the leadership of the guards, Lefer passed through the guards along the way, and met the captain of the guards, Baron Filimic, in the hall of the palace.

"Hello, Adjutant Leifer."

"Hello, Your Excellency the Baron."

After the two briefly greeted, Filimic said immediately. "Your Majesty has already told me, now let me show you around the palace."

"Thanks to the captain of the guard for leading the way."

Facing the action of the captain of the bodyguard personally leading the way, Lefer was very grateful. Although Leifer didn't care about Roman politics at all before, but after getting the news that he would become an adjutant, he immediately inquired about the king's preferences and the political situation from his friends in Rome.

Of course, during this period, Leifer would not say that he would become the king's adjutant, but asked for other reasons. In the face of Leifer's inquiry, friends in Rome were very curious. Because Leifer's image has always been focused on the military, or the situation of the navy, why is he interested in inquiring about this aspect.

Now that this friend who only cares about the military is enlightened, he will generously share this information with him. In the mouths of friends, the situation about King Carlos has been said far and wide.

From being ignored by ministers at first, to fighting to regain some of his rights, and then to gradually gaining power, the young king's battle path can completely write a novel.

Of course, no matter which friend said it, he had to admit that the king had a very precise vision.

In the war between France and the Qing people, no one could have imagined that France would be defeated. Although the French were slightly better in name, in fact, no one knew about the fiasco of France in the Far East. Then he grabbed food and suddenly grabbed a Dutch colony in Southeast Asia without giving the Dutch a chance to resist, which also proved Carlo's precise vision. To be able to take the Lanfang Colony by surprise without the Dutch being prepared, not everyone can do it.

Of course, when talking about this king, the captain of his bodyguard, Baron Filimic, will inevitably be brought along. Being able to serve as the captain of the guard for two kings, and after the assassination of the previous king, Umberto I, was definitely not easy for Baron Filimic.

As for the Prime Minister and those ministers, friends also said something they knew, which gave Lefer a general understanding.

With this information, Lefer certainly did not dare to underestimate the captain of the guard in front of him, and listened to him introducing himself to the situation of the palace along the way.

"This is the inner garden. In the evening, the two princesses like to go out to play. If there is nothing important, it is best not to come here at this time."

"This is the Munch Garden. The Queen Mother likes to take guests here and have afternoon tea in the afternoon, so try to avoid coming here in the afternoon."

"The library here, Prince Vittorio likes to read books here in the morning. If you want to read books, try to keep your voice as low as possible."

"This is your bedroom. The bed is already made. If you don't like it, you can bring your own bedding. By the way, this is your key."

In a clean room where various items had been prepared, the chief guard took out the room key and handed it to him.

"Thanks to the head guard. I like it very much. I don't need to change the bedding anymore."

Facing the words of the captain of the guards, Lefer quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Okay, I'll take you to meet His Majesty later. His Majesty is now summoning His Excellency Tejera, the Chancellor of the Exchequer."

"It's okay, I'll just wait for a while."

Leifer kept his posture low, like a recruit who had just entered the barracks, doing whatever he wanted. Of course, this is also related to the environment in which he is in. Anyone who suddenly becomes the king's adjutant from an ordinary major will do the same.

It didn't take long for the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Tejera, to walk out of the king's office with his head bowed.

Seeing the high-ranking Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Captain of the Guard and Leifer all stood up at the same time.

"Your Excellency Tejera, do you want to go out now?"

The greeting from the captain of the guard made Teyera raise his head. "It turned out to be His Excellency the Baron, and I am now going back to the Ministry of Finance."

Speaking of which, Tejera looked at Leifer who was standing beside him.

"Hello, Your Excellency Tejera, my name is Lefer."

"Hello, Mr. Lefer."

Facing Leifer's self-introduction, Tejera gave him one more thoughtful look. It seems that it won't be long before these old foxes in politics will know him.

After the finances were reached, the captain of the guard said to Lefer. "Wait here, I want His Majesty to inform you."

"thanks."

After being informed by the captain of the guards, Lefer finally got the first chance to meet King Carlo alone for the first time.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

Looking at Lefer who was standing in front of him respectfully, Carlo said with a smile, "Do you have a lot of questions you want to ask me?"

Faced with His Majesty's words, Leifel did not deny it. "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Okay then, allow you to ask a question."

Facing the king's sudden remark, Leifer felt so sudden.

"Is it true?"

As soon as he said these words, Leifer really wanted to slap himself twice. How can you ask the king like this, it is only a three-year-old child who would say such a thing.

But Carlo didn't care about that.

"it is true."

Although Leifer had a lot of questions to ask, at that time he decided to ask the one that he cared about the most. If he didn't know the answer to this question, he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully.

"Your Majesty, I want to ask, why did you choose me?"

"I knew you would ask this." Listening to Leifer's question, Carlo gave an explanation after reconsidering in his heart. "Because of intuition, I feel that you are very capable. You proved this in the Far East naval battle. So when I needed to choose an adjutant, I thought of you."

Well, Carlo's answer made Leifer a little dumbfounded. He guessed for a long time that it was because of his eyesight. Of course, the naval battle in the Far East also gave him a lot of extra points.

Facing the explanation given by Carlo, although Leifer still had some doubts, he still agreed with this statement. After all, this is what the king himself said, which is more reliable than random guessing outside.

Carlo then asked Leifer some more questions, and he answered them, and the first meeting between the two ended like this.

Carlo looked at Leifer who was leaving and sighed. Well, the explanation to Leifel just now is only half true, and that is that Leifel is doing well in the Far East.

But this is not the reason why Carlo chooses him to be his adjutant. The bigger reason is that Carlo wants to deepen his connection with the navy. In the absence of a suitable candidate, Leifer, who performed well, became his choice.

If you can't find a loyal adjutant, you can choose a good one. As for why Carlo did not choose an army officer to be his adjutant, it goes without saying.

But no matter what, Lefer, the lucky one, became the king's adjutant, at least it was a new world for him, because he could get enough information about the latest situation in the navy and army.

While Carlo was working hard for Italy, a battle was breaking out in Somalia, East Africa.
