Chapter 428 Marriage Dust Settled
Why don't you play cards according to the routine?
Not to mention the surprise of the Tsar who was his father, Hayasaka Ai was stunned.
Didn't you just agree to it at the beginning?Anyway, it's just the "Dalk family" who didn't say who it is. It's enough to fool the tsar for a while, let's get through the current difficulties first.
"My lord, what I mean is that if you have to marry the Dalk family, it must be Jeanne Dalk." Anastasia said neither humble nor humble, "I don't want to share my honor with someone I have never seen before." Man, I only identify with Mademoiselle Joan."
The silver-haired princess spoke resolutely, her aura was awe-inspiring, and she did not back down.The Grand Duke of Prussia and the Grand Duke of Austria quickly fell silent, treating themselves as a mass of air.
"Anastasia, let me remind you that we haven't formally discussed the issue of marriage." Alexander I knocked on the table.
His anger was already written on his face, and Anastasia was offended by just making a request to the Tsar.
Hayasaka Ai hurriedly smoothed things over, "It's my honor to be favored by Your Highness. It seems that this marriage is too much for me. Since we have just settled the Polish issue happily, now it's time to push the boat forward and confirm the marriage contract."
The tsar was notorious for his violent temper. He could tolerate people of his own status, but when offended by his juniors, he would become furious, and he was almost about to explode in front of the people present.
"What, did you agree?"
"If it's just an alliance in a political sense, I'm still happy."
"It was."
"Okay, I'll have a private conversation with Her Royal Highness. Dion, I'll leave it to you to discuss the details of the marriage contract."
The blond boy nodded quickly, he knew this was an opportunity to make up for his mistakes.Ai Hayasaka told Dion through the contract of the heroic spirit: promise to marry me but the princess must stay in Tsarist Russia first.
Dieng's negotiating methods are sufficient to deal with it. Although the Polish ambassador made a miscalculation first, Ai Hayasaka still believes in Dieng's ability.
The tsar's anger faded when he got the affirmative answer, and he finally achieved one of the main purposes of his trip.In this regard, the possibility of war between France and Tsarist Russia has been eliminated by more than half, and there is no doubt that it is a major diplomatic victory.
"It just so happens that you two young people have something in common." The Tsar put on a smile, "Your Excellency, you will see the wisdom of the little girl, and she will definitely help you."
Yes, it can, and the smarter she is, the more trouble you get.
"Anastasia, you can go for a walk with Your Excellency Joan of Arc, anyway, we have finished discussing the matter here."
Hayasaka took the silver-haired princess's hand and walked out of the conference hall. The two walked all the way to a secluded place in the garden of Munich Castle. At this time, Hayasaka breathed a sigh of relief.
"My father really didn't want to lose face and insisted on wanting to teach his daughter a lesson. We almost couldn't step down just now."
"It's just me." The princess said lightly.
"Why did you just lay out your requirements when you came up? These can only be agreed at the later stage of the negotiation. This is too reckless. Why?"
"Because I have to make it clear that the marriage partner is Miss Joan of Arc, and no one else can. It's only natural that I urgently need a definite answer on such a major event in life."
"All right……"
Anastasia stopped talking, she sat silently on the edge of the flower bed and gently played with a daffodil.Although she seemed careless, the princess still secretly observed Ai Hayasaka's attitude, and she knew that she was acting impulsively.
Ai Hayasaka didn't bother to pursue this matter. It wasn't that the princess's "human nature" beat her, but that she stopped thinking about things once she thought they could be solved.
Only the goblin Wei who was on the side saw through everything: Anastasia was originally coerced and lured by Joan to lure her ambitions, and reached a rough cooperation.But after some shocks, her mind became inexplicably clear, and the idea of "it's up to you" was born, and she couldn't even tolerate the existence of the word "marriage" between herself and anyone else.
Typical emotional impulse, even thinking has become perceptual thinking.
Joan's lazy performance is that it doesn't matter if she judges it rationally, her logic only considers the issue of interests.
These two actually look like a couple!The earth elf was jealous for a while.
"What are you going to do next?" Ai Hayasaka asked with concern, "You know, once France and Russia go to war and you have a marriage contract, your position in Moscow will be very embarrassing, and you will be walking on thin ice."
"On the contrary, I can pretend to be insulted by breaking the contract, and I am so angry that I want to take revenge on you immediately. So it becomes reasonable for me, a princess, to start caring about wars, contacting military officers, and frequenting meetings, right?"
"Good idea!" Ai Hayasaka exclaimed in admiration.
Alexander I had a good evaluation of his daughter. Anastasia was a smart girl. She not only had the character of a leader but also had the decisiveness to do great things.
"One more thing, if I choose to use your intelligence, I may expose you."
"I will be the one who hates you the most at that time, and I have no spying motive at all."
"You are very thoughtful."
Hayasaka Ai didn't think she had any key points that could specifically tell Anastasia to be vigilant. In her heart, she regarded the princess as an equal partner, and the two were true allies fighting side by side.
In history, there is no case of attacking Tsarist Russia from the west and winning a big victory. This is a challenge and an opportunity to create history.
"Since we have agreed to enter into a marriage contract, I have to show my sincerity." Ai Hayasaka said seriously, "I will arrange the most expensive dowry: the collection of the Palace of Versailles, supplies, and a billion pounds of gold. to Moscow."
This is a huge amount comparable to a quarter of St. Petersburg's fiscal revenue. An ordinary woman would be terrified to hear such a luxurious bride price, but Anastasia seemed to have expected it.
"It's not a dowry, it's support, right?"
"That's all I can do to help you."
Anastasia felt warm in her heart, "Miss Joan of Arc, thank you..."
"I have another gift."
Ai Hayasaka took out a sapphire necklace from her arms, and used the skill of the star pioneer to condense the desire in her heart to materialize. It will definitely create miracles at the right time.
The silver-haired princess lowered her head slightly and asked Ai Hayasaka to put on the necklace for her by herself. The white swan-like neck was dotted with bright colors, "I think this gem looks like your eyes, and it also looks like the frozen Lake Baikal, so I chose this one. I hope you like it." .”
"Does it have a name?"
"It's up to you to get one."
Anastasia showed a beautiful smile, "Do you still remember the starry sky last night? The Eskimo tribes used to call Polaris—Blue Shooting Star. It's a good name."
The two girls hugged each other tightly and bid farewell. This scene will always be engraved in the deep memory of each other.
Chapter 429
"You are a person who cares about reputation, so I want to use this necklace as a proof of engagement first, so as not to make irresponsible remarks." Ai Hayasaka said.
"It doesn't matter, it's just something outside of the body."
Anastasia was used to seeing all kinds of beautiful things since she was a child, and she just cherished the special gifts given by special people.
I will cherish it forever.
Ai Hayasaka said firmly, "I believe in fulfilling the promise, and I will complete the wedding in the Kremlin. Even the cold winter in Siberia will not stop my footsteps, step on it!"
"I'm waiting for you."
The agreement between the two of them is destined to become a historical secret, and no matter how dedicated the reporter is, they will not be able to find out the truth. Only when the wedding in the Kremlin happens, is it destined to become a legend.
People may not understand how Joan of Arc and Anastasia formed a deep friendship?But it does not prevent people from imagining a beautiful story to fill the unrecorded blank of the night of stars and bright moon.
……
In the next two days, the Munich Castle has been kept lively, but there is no tense and dangerous atmosphere, only a gentle ending stage.
The confrontation between Jeanne Dalk, the first ruler of France, and Tsarist Russian King Alexander I came to an end. Their tit-for-tat confrontation ran through the entire summit meeting, and finally ended in the tension between the Archduke of Austria and the Grand Duke of Prussia.
All is going well, especially since someone seems to have gotten a betrothed girlfriend for nothing, albeit an ally so far.
In fact, during these three days, the entire European continent was in fear, and the eyes of the whole world were focused on the city called Munich on the Rhine Plain, waiting for the result.The two largest countries on the European continent are confronting each other head-on, with turbulent winds and flashes of swords, and the lingering cloud of war surrounding the Polish issue.
Regardless of the folk reaction, the capital's sense of smell is the most sensitive:
The London Stock Exchange's stock indexes on medicines, food and arms climbed all the way up, and the capital seemed to smell blood, and was ready to make a fortune at any time.
Britain is eager for the European continent to fight hard, and Buckingham Palace is even more eager for turmoil under the pressure of France's heyday.
As long as there is any movement on the European continent, the huge capital of the whole of Britain will be mobilized. They will sell arms to the warring parties, and sell crisis awareness to drive up the price of medicines. Ready, it seemed to them that Joan of Arc and the Tsar would declare war on each other at the negotiating table, leaving only the option of war!
However, Britain's abacus failed.
[After friendly consultations between France and Tsarist Russia, a preliminary consensus has been reached that we will continue to work for peace on the European continent—French-Russian joint communiqué. 】
If this public announcement still gave Britain a glimmer of illusion, then the following news will pour cold water on it:
"The Romanov family intends to marry the Dark family. The Tsar has betrothed Princess Anastasia."
"In fact, the two countries signed a non-aggression treaty just to carve up Poland."
"Everything is an imperialist bullying against Poland, a conspiracy from Munich!"
The war is hopeless.
All kinds of information poured into Buckingham Palace, and the Parliament and the High Command were analyzing it urgently. They thought that the provocation that was certain had been miscalculated.You must know that the turbulence in Warsaw also has a part in Britain, in order to create a flashpoint of conflict.
As a result, a Munich meeting allowed the two parties to shake hands and make peace?
For a while, even Britain's think tanks were indecisive, and an atmosphere of anxiety was brewing in the king's imperial meeting.
George III knocked on the table anxiously, "France and Tsarist Russia did not go to war, and our agitation in Warsaw was in vain. Minister, what should we do next?"
"Even now, I still think that France will prioritize Tsarist Russia over Britain."
The minister was an old man with white hair and a white beard. He held his eyes up to block the sharp light shining in his eyes.The minister just sat at the head of the imperial meeting casually, making the whole audience silent, and everyone including the king could only listen to their opinions.
"It doesn't matter. The presence of the British Sea Fleet and the English Channel allows us to maintain the initiative."
"Keep the sanctions strong and lay out the eastern Mediterranean. We will create chaos in the French colonies, so that she has to invest money and energy to run the weak colonies. France, which loses its blood supply, will gradually weaken."
"In addition, I will incite the tsar again, such as the Swedish fjords they have been coveting..."
George III also had concerns:
"Do you understand Jeanne Darc? I always feel that she doesn't play cards according to common sense."
The minister disagreed, "Joan has to consider the interests of France as a whole. Her tactics are predictable. Britain can contain the European continent by virtue of its size advantage."
"All right……"
"In short, our first priority is to say 'congratulations' first."
As an official, Buckingham Palace has to express congratulations hypocritically and send a friendly signal to France and Russia.
Unbeknownst to Hayasaka Ai herself, she inadvertently disrupted a British sedition plot in Warsaw.
But the market index of the London Stock Exchange is much more real. The bubble advocated by strategic materials has been falling all the way. How can speculators continue to pay attention before jumping off the building?
So no one will find out that at this time, there is a transfer company registered in the Netherlands that is purchasing these strategic materials at a low price and shipping them to the other side of the strait...
"Very well, the chancellor has made a small extra money for us as planned."
In the carriage returning to Paris from Munich, Ai Hayasaka read the secret letter from the Palace of Versailles for a burst of joy, "It's going well so far."
