Marvel: I traveled through time a little early

Chapter 97 Gossip
July 1935

George returned to the United States after staying in London for a month.The reason is that a few days ago, Buckingham Palace will hold another grand dinner to celebrate the birthday of British King George V.So even George, who didn't like this kind of social interaction, had to participate.

Fortunately, George's favorite Princess Alice accompanied him at the banquet that night, so George did not feel bored, but felt that time passed quickly.

The day after the banquet, George flew directly back to the United States.So what he didn't notice was that The Times, the largest news newspaper in the UK that day, made extensive reports on last night's birthday party.

It also published two photos, one of the royal family and members of the aristocracy standing together, and the other of a photo at a ball that night.

People will naturally discuss the characters in these two photos.Among them, George is the most topical. One reason is that most of the people who can appear in the first photo are already familiar with him, and the other reason is that George's own appearance also attracts attention.

Next, not only The Times, but also national newspapers such as Italy, France, and the United States reported on the banquet that night.After all, there is still too little coverage of royal life in this era.People are quite curious about the life of the royal family, so it naturally attracts attention.

Here, there is a British newspaper. The reporting angle is relatively remote, but it was quickly reproduced by other media.

This newspaper not only reported on George's situation, posted a photo of him standing with the royal family, but also specifically marked the center position of the ball in the Times photo.

During the interpretation of the photo, the public discovered that the princess, who is not well known to the public, was indeed looking in the direction of George when the photo was taken.

The second picture is directly of the two dancing in the middle of the dance floor.

In the commentary, it says so.

"The reporter had the honor to attend this banquet. During the banquet, the two people stayed together throughout the banquet. Except for two dances with each other, they refused all invitations to dance. Judging from the performance of the two people at the banquet, one can't help but feel People’s imaginations are running wild.…”

This nearly [-]-word report basically describes a love story in the form of speculation.

This kind of celebrity scandal stories are what people like the most.

When people read newspapers, the most they can do is to understand many news reports, but when it comes to scandals, they generally pay attention to them with great curiosity.

Moreover, the center of this scandal is the well-known American figure George and the most beautiful and youngest princess in the United Kingdom. People naturally like to read this kind of news.

Moreover, Princess Alice's experience of losing her parents when she was young, being treated as one of her own by the king, and being cared for by the entire royal family since childhood is also a news point in itself.

Then, various tabloids began to fabricate romantic stories about the two.Reports from the United Kingdom quickly spread to the United States, and they were even more excited to hear about the romantic story between the country's richest man and the British princess.

What’s interesting is that George is a citizen of both countries, and people in the United Kingdom and the United States regard George as one of their own.Therefore, although some people may feel sad about this scandal, the two of them are quite a match in terms of status, financial resources, and knowledge.

When George saw the newspapers that Fred personally delivered and the various romantic stories that he specially collected, he felt dumbfounded.

George knew that the people below were asking him about his attitude and whether he needed to respond to this matter.

After taking a look at the butler who was standing straight but whose eyes were still drifting towards the gossip reports from time to time, George said: "The newspapers are all fabricated. I guess the British royal family will come back to clarify it. Inform ourselves." For newspapers, just don’t report on it. Don’t worry about other things.”

But this time, George miscalculated.Because in the next few days, the British royal family did not come forward to clarify this matter.

Now, George roughly knew what he meant.

I was previously invited to take charge of Kingsman, but I gave up.If they are tied together through a princess this time, the royal family should be happy to see it happen.

Maybe, there are some nobles like Duke Mountbatten who are related to their own interests behind the scenes, adding fuel to the fire.

Buckingham Palace
After seeing the newspaper report, members of the royal family also felt that the photo was indeed inappropriate.Under normal circumstances, there should be someone responsible for reviewing such photos before they are circulated.

In the photo of the two dancing, the two were smiling. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were affectionate.Although everyone, including the king, is happy to see this matter come to fruition, Alice's opinion is also important.If Alice didn't mean this, it would be better to clarify the matter early.

Therefore, the eldest princess of the royal family, Princess Mary, went to inquire about the situation.

Princess Mary came to Princess Alice's bedroom, where Princess Alice was reading a book.

Princess Mary sat next to her sister and said softly: "Alice, have you seen the report about you and Earl Swent? You have made up so many romantic stories. It would be a pity not to become a screenwriter."

"Although many of the stories written in this article are fabricated, if you really like each other, we will support it. For Earl Svent, my father is quite satisfied, so you are What’s your opinion?”

"Sister, in fact, in my contact with George, I think he is very good. Not only is he knowledgeable and talented, but he is also very funny."

How could Princess Mary not understand that her sister was really attracted to Earl Svent.

"Are you together?"

"No, we only met a few times in total, and we didn't make it clear."

Mary knew that the two of them were still in a hazy state. After chatting for a while, Princess Mary left Princess Alice's bedroom.

Princess Alice knew the purpose of her sister's coming to ask her, and she could also see the royal family's attitude from the royal family's handling of the matter.Although I like George very much, as I am in the royal family, there are some things that I cannot control.

In my heart, I still hope to be recognized by the royal family.

After Princess Mary returned, she also told the queen what had happened.After thinking for a long time, the queen decided not to clarify the newspaper reports.

After all, I still don’t know George’s attitude. I tried to win over George before, but he was not accepted.If this time it was directly published in the newspaper to say that the matter was true, it would mean moral kidnapping, and it would be unsightly to arouse the other party's resentment.If it were published in the newspaper that there was no such thing, it would be a dead end and would be even more inappropriate.

But sometimes, not expressing an attitude is also an attitude. The British royal family did not speak out and allowed newspapers to report. Many people suddenly felt that the previous reports might be true. After all, silence represented acquiescence.This time, the tabloids were even more unscrupulous and directly reported the news that the two were suspected of being engaged.

No matter how the outside world speculates about George and Alice, George is no longer prepared to interfere.After all, the love between children is okay, but the improvement of strength is more important.

And after being delayed for a month in the UK, George was thinking about improving his strength again.

First, George summarized the world that can be entered directly.The Little Boss world, The Deer and the Cauldron world, The Suicide Squad world, the Harry Potter world, and a Naruto world.

Here, the world of Little Master and The Deer and the Cauldron are not helpful in improving one's own strength, so they are excluded for the time being.

The DC world where Suicide Squad is located has been visited before.George also obtained the elementary artificial intelligence Monday, as well as a large amount of advanced knowledge.He also used the mirror space to steal the production method of the Speed ​​Force, but he hasn't had time to test it yet.

Next, there are Harry Potter world and Naruto world to choose from.

Both worlds are good for improving strength.

In addition, two and a half years of energy has been stored in the space, and new draws can also be opened.

After much consideration, biting off more than he could chew, George decided to hold on to this power and consider other things.
