[Comprehensive Book] A Rose for Catherine

Sophia sat on the side, turned her head away pretending she didn't hear anything.Charlotte took the initiative to shake Catherine's hand, which was a very intimate gesture for a noble princess.

Catherine even froze for a moment.

"Your Highness..." Catherine frowned slightly, not sure what she meant.

Charlotte tilted her head slightly to keep the tension from becoming tense, but every utterance she made next revealed a sense of seriousness: "Kitty, now that things have happened, I think I have to tell you the truth. You already know that my parents relationship is not good - or terrible, and my father has always limited the number of times I see my mother, he does not want me to be close to her. My grandfather is very sick, my father is in power, in such a situation Now if he wants me to do something, I can't resist."

Catherine moved her lips: "What does Your Highness mean?"

Charlotte didn't hide any more, and told the truth, "The female officer next to my father told me that he was going to send me to Windsor. Kitty, I don't want to leave London, so I want to borrow your novel to win a chance."

She didn't intend to resist her father's arrangement originally, but she suddenly wanted to fight for it once.The Regent is not one to be easily persuaded, especially when it comes to Caroline.Charlotte had no doubt that sooner or later the couple would be completely torn apart.So she needs to seek an opportunity for herself.

Charlotte continued softly: "Kitty, I know this is a difficult request for you. But you are the only one who can help me."

The meaning of these words made Catherine feel uncomfortable. She tried hard to squeeze out a smile, but unfortunately she was reluctant.

"Don't worry too much, just write according to your initial idea. The rest, whether it is persuasion or dispute, is what I should do. Kitty, I don't ask you to be responsible for an unreasonable request .” Charlotte saw her worry and comforted her.

As an heir to the crown prince, Princess Charlotte's education is undoubtedly qualified.Catherine thought helplessly that things had come to this point, she also took advantage of Charlotte and Sophia's favor, and Charlotte chose the most appropriate time to be honest with her. Time to repent.

What's more, when the benefits are sufficient, people who don't want to try will be allowed to take risks.

"I will do my best, Your Highness."

said Catherine, raising her eyes.

The sincerity in Charlotte's smile added a point: "I will always be grateful to you, Kitty."

Princess Caroline and Her Royal Highness the Regent do not live with the Regent. They have been separated for a long time. This time, Charlotte wrote her a letter, and Caroline returned to London from her lover.But she will never stay long.

Princess Caroline's body is too plump, which complements the Prince Regent, and one can't help but wonder if Princess Charlotte will become like this in the future.She was accompanied by a girl in her teens, who was said to be her maid, but judging from Charlotte and Sophia's concealed attitudes, it was not difficult to deduce that this girl was Caroline's illegitimate daughter.

Caroline's attitude towards Charlotte is quite warm, but the mother and daughter rarely met each other when they were young, and they can't talk about deep feelings.Charlotte talked to her for a while, and then introduced Catherine to her.

Caroline was not interested in Catherine or her novels, and it didn't take long for them to be dismissed.For Charlotte's sake, she gave Catherine a box of necklaces, brooches, fans and other trinkets.

Catherine held the jewelry box and was a little bit dumbfounded at Caroline's style.

The couple are really very different people.

Catherine still held this view until talking to Elizabeth.After listening to her account of the incident, Elizabeth couldn't help sighing: "For a princess, our knowledge in the past is still very shallow. But Kitty, she said such things to you, showing that she trusts you, which is undoubtedly helpful to you." benefit."

After Catherine returned to Uncle Gardner's house, the other three sisters had already returned.Lydia was temporarily invited by a noble lady to design clothes and stayed in her mansion for a while.

Catherine was entangled in the identity of the lady, and Jane and Elizabeth took turns to explain to her that the lady was a guest brought by Brett to Lydia, and it was none other than Brett's own sister.

Catherine was a little surprised and felt reasonable, so she temporarily forgot about Lydia. While letting everyone choose the box of jewelry that Princess Caroline gave her, she told her two sisters and uncles and aunts that Mary was killed by a A lie about a noble lady staying as her companion.Sophia has specially sent a maid to explain the matter to the Gardners, so that there is no loophole in this lie for the time being.

The only person who has doubts about this is Jane who has not been told the truth.After Elizabeth and Catherine agreed in the letter, Elizabeth gradually revealed some facts to Jane, and only waited for Catherine to come back for a final explanation.

Catherine had long wanted to tell Jane the truth, and as soon as Jane asked about it, she told it all without concealing it, but omitted the part of the interview after Sharon to avoid her worry.

Jane is cheerful by nature, and she can easily be happy for her sister. "It is still controversial to write a novel purely, but it is another matter to write a novel for the princess after meeting the regent. Mom and Dad will also be happy for you."

Now Catherine's identity is no secret among the five sisters.

The next step is to confess to Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, but this step has to be taken slowly for the time being.Catherine thought.

Elizabeth was keenly aware of Mary's whereabouts, but with Sophia's help, there was no flaw for the time being, so she dispelled her worries and talked about Isabella's invitation to visit them.

Catherine said: "Go, and when I get back I can tell Mum that Mr. Knightley is not in London, and she can give up on it."

She and Elizabeth looked at each other and smiled.

The sisters decided to visit Lydia when she came back, but within a few days, Lydia wrote a letter saying that she would go to the country manor with the lady's family, where there is a hot spring nearby.She was really curious and had already agreed to go together.

Jane and Leonard went for a walk.After Jane came back, the big businessman also came to visit twice a day, which made Mr. Gardner confused. He didn't understand what was going on until he saw the unconcealable joy of the eldest niece in private.

Catherine and Elizabeth were the only ones who saw Lydia's letter for the first time.

Elizabeth shook her head, "Lydia is really worrying."

Catherine held the letter paper and smiled: "She is much more worry-free than before."

Elizabeth nodded.

Although this move is still not dignified enough, it is much better than the previous situation where he focused on digging into the pile of red uniforms.Elizabeth was content with that.

Thinking of this, she said casually: "Kitty, you too. I didn't expect you to change so quickly, and now you are the last person in the family to worry about."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Catherine blinked and smiled innocently.

It was finally agreed to visit Isabella this Friday.Jane picked up a pen and wrote to Isabella in advance, explaining that she was going to visit.When she wrote the address, she read it softly: "227 Brunswick Square, Lizzie, is this the address?"

Elizabeth read it silently, and said with certainty: "This is it, Jane."

Jane continued to lower her head to write the letter, and Elizabeth watched her write. Neither of them noticed Catherine's strange expression for a moment.

When Catherine heard this address, she felt a sense of familiarity uncontrollably.She thought of an address that she remembered particularly well, although she already knew that the pen pal lived with Isabella and his wife in Brunswick Square, and even Leonard lived there.But the number after the address in her memory was exactly the same as what she had just heard from Jane.

Catherine never thought of meeting Mr. Pen Pal in reality, because meeting is destined to be a risky thing.But now, she was caught off guard and told that this Mr. Pen Pal might be someone she knew.

This complicated Catherine's mood.

Finally, when Jane finished writing the letter, Catherine found an excuse and hurried back to the room, and found out the reply letter sent by the unknown pen pal in the past two days.

Catherine moved her finger away from the address bar of the letter and fixed her gaze.

– 227 Brunswick Square.

Exactly.
