Happy Days of the Titanic

Early morning of October 1912, 4

Inside a hotel in Southampton, England

In the dark room, Karl sat quietly by the bed, staring blankly at the only bouquet of flowers in the room, while unconsciously stroking the jewelry box in his arms...

"Boom, boom" came a regular knock on the door.

Carl seemed to have not heard it, and still maintained his original posture, ignoring the knock on the door just now, and the room was silent.

The expected silence, Leger sighed helplessly: Since February NO.14, Master Carl has been doing nothing when he was at home every day during the day, just sitting blankly with that jewelry box in his arms, but outside At that time, it was as if nothing happened. He worked hard and accompanied Miss Ruth earnestly, but everyone who knew him could feel that the young master's eyes had long lost the brilliance and... vitality, yes, vitality!Master Karl alone is like a body without a soul.Only when you look at the jewelry box, will there be a trace of warmth in the young master's eyes; and at night... oh, tossing and turning, always having trouble falling asleep, and waking up early in the morning, the young master's body...

Thinking of this, Leger gently turned the doorknob and opened the door.

As soon as he entered the door, Leger was not surprised to see Karl sitting upright by the bed, and his hand was still touching the jewelry box.Seeing Carl like this, he pursed his lips, and Leger still said, "Master, everything is ready!"

"Understood, you go down first..." After a moment of silence, Carl said.

"...yes" After finishing speaking, Leger bowed to Carl, straightened up, looked at Carl's silent back, paused, and Leger quietly turned and left, and gently closed the door.

In an instant, the room returned to darkness.

Southampton, UK, Belfast Harbor

The sun in Southampton today is very bright, the warm but not dazzling sunshine spreads all over the earth, dispelling the goddess of winter and leaving a bit of chill.Belfast Harbor, coming and going, the bustling crowd adds a lot of vitality to this...

"It's not a big deal, it's not much bigger than the Mauritania, Karl." Looking at the huge hull in front of him, thinking about his involuntary, cage-like life in the future, and Karl's smell of copper and lifelessness, as if to To vent her dissatisfaction, Ruth said disdainfully.

"Don't underestimate it, Ruth, the Titanic is different from other passenger liners, it's a hundred feet longer than the Mauritania,

And more luxurious. "After listening to Ruth's disdainful words, Carl replied sternly.

After hearing Carl's words, Ruth didn't say anything more, because she saw her mother's stern eyes behind Carl... So Ruth "hummed" at Carl, and then left to watch the environment around the Titanic up.

Seeing Ruth's act of leaving, Carl couldn't help but touched the heart of the ocean in his arms, and muttered to himself: "It's different..."

Because Carl turned her back to Rufu, Rufu didn't hear what Carl whispered or saw Carl's movements, but even if she heard Carl's words and saw Carl's movements, she probably wouldn't think of anything else Go somewhere.Seeing the figure of his daughter abandoning Carl, Rufu didn't say anything, after all, being indifferent to a man can better grasp a man's heart, isn't it!But it's not good to leave Karl alone in embarrassment. Thinking of this, Rufu walked up to Karl and smiled faintly: "Really, Ruth is still so childish! By the way, Karl, people say that this ship is well-designed and never sunk."

Carl didn't know that Rufu's words were changing the subject, so Carl followed Rufu's words and said, "Yes, it will never sink." Thinking of the casting of the Titanic, Carl added: "Even God can't sink." It's hard to let it sink."

As they said that, the two were about to walk towards the door. Suddenly, a uniformed guard next to him stopped Karl's way: "Sir, please go over there and check the luggage through the main entrance!"

Seeing that Karl was stopped by the guards, Rufu quickly pretended not to see anything, and said nothing about Karl being stopped. In the past, Rufu would have ridiculed the guard who didn't have long eyes to stop Karl with beautiful aristocratic words, but now ...Looking at Ruth who was looking around in front of her, Rufu squinted her eyes and walked straight to Ruth...

"Ruth!" Ruth called softly.

"...Yes" Hearing the familiar voice next to her ear, Ruth couldn't help showing a trace of sadness on her face.

Ruth, who was eager to teach Ruth a lesson, didn't notice the sadness on Ruth's face, otherwise, what Ruth faced would be more than just a simple lecture...

"Ruth, today you are too indifferent to Carl... Although proper indifference can make men like you more, too much indifference will only backfire... If Carl doesn't like you anymore, don't forget the pile of debts at home , if it wasn’t for Karl, your mother and I would have to do hard work and wash clothes for others to pay off debts... Do you have the heart to let your mother continue to work hard when she is dying? And..."

Looking at the soft-spoken but chattering mother in front of her, Ruth couldn't help feeling exhausted: Mother is always like this...

Looking at the mother and daughter who were watching the appearance of the Titanic as if nothing had happened, talking quietly from time to time, and checking the crowd at the salute, Carl immediately took out money from his pocket, handed it to the other party, and said, "I want to take care of the lady, So I entrust you to go over there for me. Oh, yes, please take care of my attendant."

As soon as he got the money, the guard's attitude immediately changed from arrogance to humility: "Sure, sure, sir, I am very willing to serve you, please feel free to..."

Before the guard finished speaking, he was interrupted by Leger: "All the salutes in that car..." After speaking, Leger pulled the guard behind, pointed to the car behind and said, "This car has twelve Boxes, as well as safes, are sent to Presidential Suites B52 to 56."

Two watches bloomed, one for each. Leger on this side was instructing the guards to carry the salute, while Karl on the other side, after looking at the pocket watch in his hand, walked to the side of the mother and daughter who were watching the Titanic, with a blank expression on their faces. Said with an expression: "Ladies, hurry up!"

With that said, Karl took the mother and daughter to the hatch of the Titanic...
