Eva Merkel

I saluted the Kaiser again and walked out of the room. One year is too short but it was possible to gather spies within that time. But exactly how do I start recruiting them? Since there was intelligence agency despite being an advanced nation it was a mammoth task to pull up one from no-where. There was too less time to complain and too much work to do.

"Wait! Where is this place?". I was lost once again. Fortunately a nearby guard showed me the way to the exit. The driver immediately started the Vauxhall D-type on seeing me hurrying out from the Reichstag.

Hah!.....This is a hassle!

Furthermore, this Germany was such a worse mix of everything. Timelines, Kaiser, history was all mixed up so it was hard to figure out the next course of action regarding history.

Well all for that this 25hp* surely was too fast as I managed to reach my office after a 4 hour long journey.

"Hup!"

I stretched as I got off from the car. The car seats was too small for my long legs to withstand. I couldn't help it after all this was 1910 and cars were newly made.

"It must have been a tiresome journey, Sir."

"Yes, Langhern. These cars seats are too small."

My butler, Otto Langhern was an old man in his 60s. He bought me up as a second father since 'my' parents were dead. Moreover he is too smart and remembers every details and never forgets it. Well that's to be natural as you are the butler and assistant o the richest and second most urbanized province after Berlin. Enough of introductions, today Otto seemed happy for some reason. No, he was smiling too much that I felt creeps under my skin.

"Something happened?"

"Please come in, Sir."

Hmm? My butler is smiling and he is polite??

"Okay"

I followed him to my office.

"My lady, the young Duke has arrived."

I was falling in bizarre thoughts until the door opened up and I saw an enticing figure. Blue eyes, blonde hair neatly combed, slight tan , slim and proper curves enough to make any man fall in love with her at first sight. Since she was dazzling too much I could only stare at her legs. Though she was wearing a ball gown I could tell that that she had long slender legs -"

"You sure are excited today."

"Eh!"

Crap! No bad thoughts! No bad thoughts! Even though back in my previous life I was in my 60s I still believed myself as a 30 year old. Well because of that everyone made fun of me but the feeling was mutual. But still someone so enticing to capture my attention was definitely worthy of being called beautiful. But sadly, I died a virgin.

It was hard to regain my composure.

"So you get excited that you can't control your self, can you?", she said with a light grin. and slowly running her eyes below.

Wait!

"Oh Lord! That was a mistake! That was a dangerous mistake!"

I was flustered. Ah! Such a big spy making a small mistake is so unforgivable. I had failed to control my emotion. I think I should send the Kaiser an apology letter for being the head of intelligence. After a few seconds that thing calmed down on hearing my resignation.

"Sorry about that. Sometimes men get these things which are hard to control." I sat down on my comfy chair which was more like a sofa.

"So, what business do you have with me today?"

"What?"

"Hmm?"

"Don't give me that 'hmm'. I am here to check how you are doing. "

"Keep check on me?"

"Yes, you idiot and stop behaving as if you are meeting a stranger. Since you were six you have faced many problems. You even shut in your own rooms and didn't come outside. all of a sudden you start coming out with a whole new character and become an outsider. It's natural to worry about you as your childhood friend."

She was something. Really something.

"I understand but no need to spam 'idiot'."

"'Spam' ? What's that?"

Oh! I totally forgot. This is the 20th century not the 21st century.

"Just forget what I said."

"I was going to do that either way. So, why are you excited today?"

Oh? She is much more interesting than I thought her to be.

"Nothing much, just like that"

Eva picked up the morning edition newspaper as the waitress served us tea.

Ha! Things are going 1 to 100 super fast eh.

Eva Merkel, young Duchess of Munich, 19 years old, single. That was what Otto had informed me about. Though I liked it when he said she was single. It was surprising to see such a beautiful lady still single in this age but I guess that's how f*ked up this place is. The cat surely made some nasty changes.

My first impression of Eva was bad because it was surprising enough to see here report, but after conversing with her, it looks like she definitely wanted to help this down in the dumps guy to wake up. Not that I can blame Ash von Kesselring for it.

"Hey! Hey Ash! Ash von Kesselring! Do you hear me?"

Ugh! So loud seems like being beautiful made her mentality go to the other direction.

"Yes I hear you clear and loud."

"No you were definitely not. Hmph!"

Oh? She pouted! Well, I guess she has a cute side to it.

"All right I am sorry."

Suddenly her face relaxed to a more serious tone.

"Did you get the invitation?"

A grin appeared on my face.

"I see."

She was stern but happy at the same time. Look like I need to show them who the boss is.
