My Italy

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.

Leifer sat on the carriage meticulously like a statue. Today was his first day as an adjutant to the king. With such great pressure, he couldn't help but be nervous. He might as well act like a soldier and let His Majesty the King see his Leifer military qualities.

But it didn't take long for him to break through.

"Here we are, Lieutenant Liefer."

"oh."

After getting off the car, Leifer looked at the majestic Quirinale Palace and felt guilty.

Fortunately, the guards waiting for him eased his mood.

"Is this Major Leifer?"

"Yes, it's me."

Faced with the inquiry from the guard at the door, Leifer straightened his clothes and immediately stepped forward.

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

Faced with the guard's inquiry, Leifer smiled slightly. "If there's no one else by that name, it should be me."

"Sorry, I just wanted to make sure."

After the guard apologized, he continued. "Please come with me, Your Majesty the Captain of the Guard is waiting for you."

"Lead the way."

Under the leadership of the guards, Leifer followed through numerous guards and met the captain of the guards, Baron Filimicchi, in the palace hall.

"Hello, Lieutenant Liefer."

"Hello, Your Excellency Baron."

After the two briefly exchanged greetings, Feli Mickey said immediately. "Your Majesty has already told me, now let me show you around the palace."

"Thank you, captain of the guard, for leading the way."

Leifer was very grateful to the captain of the guard for personally leading the way. Although Leifer had not cared about Roman politics at all before, after receiving the news that he would become an adjutant, he immediately asked his friends in Rome about the king's preferences and the situation in the political arena.

Of course, during this period, Leifer would not say that he would become the king's adjutant, but would inquire about it for other reasons. Faced with Leifer's inquiry, friends in Rome were very curious. Because Leifer's image has always been that he only focuses on the military, or the navy, so why is he interested in asking about this news?

Now that this friend who only cares about the military has figured it out, I will generously share this information with him. From the mouths of friends, the situation about King Carlo was constantly told.

From being ignored by his ministers at the beginning, to fighting to regain some of his rights, and then gradually gaining power, the young king's struggle could fill a novel.

Of course, no matter which friend you say, you have to admit that this king has a very precise vision.

In the war between France and the Qing people, no one could have imagined that France would lose. Although the French were nominally better, in fact no one knew about France's disastrous defeat in the Far East. Then he snatched food from the tiger's mouth and suddenly snatched a Dutch colony in Southeast Asia, without giving the Dutch a chance to resist. This also proves Carlo's precise vision. Not everyone can do it by taking the Lanfang colony by surprise and unprepared the Dutch.

Of course, when talking about the king, his captain of the bodyguard, Baron Filmicchi, will inevitably be brought along. Being able to serve as the captain of the bodyguard for two kings, and also serving as the captain of the bodyguard after the assassination of the previous king Umberto I, Baron Filmicchi is definitely not simple.

As for the Prime Minister and the ministers, my friends also shared some of what they knew, giving Leifer a general understanding.

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

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

"This is the Monkey 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."

"In the library here, Prince Vittorio likes to read here in the morning. If you want to read, please keep the sound as low as possible."

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

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

"Thank you, Captain, I like it very much. I don't need to change the bedding anymore."

Faced with the words of the captain of the guard, Leifer quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Okay, I will take you to meet His Majesty later. Your Majesty is currently summoning the Minister of Finance, His Excellency Tejela."

"It's okay, I'll just wait."

Leifer kept his posture very low, like a new recruit who had just entered the military camp, doing whatever he was told. Of course, this is also related to one's own environment. Anyone who suddenly becomes the king's adjutant from an ordinary major will do the same.

Not long after, Finance Minister Tejela walked out of the king's office with his head lowered.

Seeing the powerful Minister of Finance, the captain of the guard and Leifer both stood up in unison.

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

The greeting from the captain of the guard made Tejela raise her head. "It turns out to be His Excellency the Baron. It's me who wants to go back to the Ministry of Finance now."

Speaking of this, Tejela looked at Leifer who was standing aside.

"Hello, Lord Tejela, my name is Leifer."

"Hello, Mr. Leifer."

Facing Leifer's self-introduction, Tejela looked at him thoughtfully. It seems that it won't be long before these old foxes in the political world will know him.

After the finances were settled and they were gone, the captain of the guard said to Leifer. "Wait here for a moment, I want His Majesty to inform you."

"Thanks."

After being informed by the captain of the guard, Leifer finally got the opportunity to meet King Carlo alone for the first time.

"I have met His Majesty."

Looking at Leifer who was standing respectfully in front of him, Carlo smiled and said, "Do you have many questions to ask me?"

When His Majesty expressed his feelings, Leifer did not deny it. "Yes, Your Majesty."

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

Facing the king's sudden words, 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 a king like this? It's like a three-year-old child can talk like this.

But Carlo didn't care about this.

"it is true."

Although Leifer had many questions to ask, he decided at that time to ask the question he cared about most. If he didn't know the answer to this question, he would not feel safe sleeping.

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

"I knew you would ask that." After listening to Leifer's question, Carlo reconsidered in his mind and gave an explanation. "Because of my intuition, I felt that you were 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 a close eye. Of course, the naval battle in the Far East also gave him a lot of points.

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

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

Carlo looked at Leifer leaving and sighed. Well, only half of the explanation given to Leifer just now is true, that is, Leifer performed well in the Far East.

But this was not the reason why Carlo chose him to be his adjutant. The bigger reason was that Carlo wanted 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 lieutenant, you can just choose one with good abilities. As for why Carlo didn't choose an army officer to be his adjutant, it goes without saying.

But no matter what, Leifer, the lucky man, became the king's adjutant. At least this was a new world for him, because he could obtain enough information on the latest situations in the navy and army.

While Carlo was working hard for Italy, a battle was raging far away in Somalia, East Africa.

There are still two chapters left. Book lovers who are willing to wait can wait patiently and thank His Majesty the Sultan. I need to update ten chapters in the three days before it is put on the shelves.
