      – And the girl is nothing, pretty, and her financial condition is even better. It would be nice to marry them – it would be a good match for my son, – and, slapping the prince on the shoulder, he winked: but you didn’t waste your time.

      But Eduard did not share his feelings and without enthusiasm went to rest at his place, but according to the imposed etiquette, he returned again, having changed clothes so as not to leave the guests and saviors unattended.

      And the king invited the savior to visit them more often and organized a reception on her occasion.

      After they saw off the guests, the father detained his son:

      – Son, stop. I need to discuss something with you.

      – Dad, what are you talking about?

      – I thought it all over and fate itself favors us. The girl is not of royal blood, but the daughter of a millionaire. Remember, you only have the title of prince, and we ourselves have long been penniless. If you marry her, you will improve the position of the state.
