[The End of the Nation] (19) 

Chapter 19 Roman Night
Although the ancient Roman Colosseum, weathered by time, is now in ruins, visitors can still appreciate
its former grandeur. Countless gladiators once battled fierce beasts here, their images
vividly replaying in the minds of travelers.
Whether in a roadside café, the streets and alleys of Rome, or inside the Colosseum itself,
the two left their mark, capturing beautiful moments that will be forever remembered in the annals of history.
Leaving the Colosseum, the two continued their leisurely ride through the streets and alleys of Rome on their motorcycle. Annie
clung to Joe's waist from behind, while Joe enthusiastically pointed out various historical sites and folk customs to the princess.
As they approached an intersection, a traffic policeman's whistle blew for a traffic violation
. While Joe was speaking to the officer, Annie, out of curiosity, climbed into the driver's seat.
Unexpectedly, the motorcycle started on its own. Annie screamed, startling Joe. Joe quickly said goodbye to the traffic
police and jumped onto the back of the motorcycle. Joe kept teaching Annie how to drive. The clever and curious Annie
excitedly drove forward, albeit wobbly, under Joe's guidance. Joe tried to grab the handlebars from the back seat, but
Annie, captivated by the novelty, regained control.
The princess drove the motorcycle erratically through the streets,
nearly hitting people in a bustling alleyway selling calligraphy and paintings. She dramatically weaved between tables in a roadside coffee shop, knocking over a
painter's wooden frame and ruining everything. She crossed an intersection, startling pedestrians and buses, and even causing a woman
to throw her fruit bag away. Finally, the police gave chase...
Traffic police chased them on two motorcycles, followed by a car with four officers.
The two troublemakers were eventually taken to the police station. A large group of victims arrived at the police station to sue them, making a huge fuss .
As the princess stretched out her arms to plead guilty, the clever and cunning Joe produced his press pass and, with a few words,
tricked her into saying he was driving to a church to get married, thus getting away with it.
"A reporter? What does he mean?"
the princess asked, puzzled.
"Just say you're a reporter… and you'll be invincible," Joe chuckled.
At that moment, the group of people who had sued them came out of the police station, shaking hands with each of them and congratulating
them. The fat man who had been painting on the roadside and had his frame knocked down even kissed Princess Anne on the lips,
making her laugh as she shook hands with Joe and congratulated him before walking away.
"Don't worry… I won't ask you to marry me," the princess said.
"Thank you so much." "Don't say that," the princess said.
"Okay… I misspoke." "I'm a big liar… am I?"
the princess laughed.
"A super big liar." "You flatter me," the princess said.
"Come with me," Joe took Anne's hand and walked forward. Bathed in sunlight, hand in hand,
Joe led Annie to a scenic spot called the Mouth of Truth.
This spot was actually a giant rock carved with the face of a long-bearded old man, its mouth deeply recessed.
Judging from the color and numerous cracks on the stone, it was clearly an ancient artifact.
"Legend has it that if you lie… and put your hand in its mouth… it will bite off your hand," Joe
said vividly.
"How terrifying," the princess said.
"You try it," the princess said, somewhat believing Joe. She knew she had lied to him, but
couldn't resist her curiosity. Looking at the mouth, her slender hand slowly reached out. Just before it went in,
she flinched and pulled her hand back, hiding it behind her back.
"You try it first," the princess said.
"Okay," Joe said playfully.
Joe's hand naturally went in. The princess watched intently as Joe's hand went in deeper and deeper
, while Joe smiled at Annie.
Suddenly, with a cry of "Ah!", Joe pretended to have his hand bitten. Almost simultaneously, a frightened and worried Annie
tried to pull Joe's arm out, but he held on tightly, making painful noises. This instantly
turned the innocent princess pale.
Suddenly, Joe pulled his arm back, hiding it in his suit sleeve as if it had been bitten off, showing it to Princess Annie.
"Ah...ah!" Annie screamed, covering her face with her hands as she looked at Joe's hand.
Then, Joe's hand emerged from his sleeve, gesturing to shake hands with the princess.
"Ha...lou," Joe said comically.
"You're so...awful!" Annie scolded, both surprised and delighted.
The princess rushed into Joe's arms, cursing the prankster. Joe hugged Annie and explained,
"Sorry...it was just a joke," Joe said gleefully.
"You're not hurt at all," the princess said, laughing and crying.
"I'm sorry," Joe said apologetically.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." "Then let's go," Joe said.
Suddenly, Joe pretended to look back at the mouth as if there was a ghost, and
with a "whoosh..." the princess immediately ran outside, with Joe chasing after her, laughing heartily.
The two had already left, but the statue remained, forever waiting for the next person to reach their hand inside.
—The two rode their motorcycle to another tourist attraction, where a long wall was covered with inscriptions
and plaques.
"What do these inscriptions mean?"
"Each plaque represents a wish that came true… This started during wartime… During an air raid… a man
was fleeing with four children… He ran to this wall for cover and to pray for divine protection… Bombs landed nearby…
but no one was hurt… Later he returned and hung the first plaque… Now this place has become a sacred site
… People come to make wishes… and when their wishes come true… they return and put up another plaque," Joe explained.
Anne listened attentively to Joe's story, as if she understood a great deal and gained much knowledge.
"What an interesting story," the princess said, gazing at the wall.
"Let's take a look at some inscriptions," Jo said, pulling Anne's arm and leading her to the wall covered in inscriptions.
The princess stood before the wall, closed her beautiful eyes, and silently made a wish.
"Making a wish?"
Joe asked.
"The chances of a wish coming true are too slim," the princess nodded first, then shook her head, looking at Joe calmly.
"Where are you going now?"
Joe asked.
"I heard there's a ball on the boat," the princess said.
"You mean Angelo?"
Joe smiled.
"Can we go?"
"Why not? As you wish," Joe said.
"At midnight, a pumpkin carriage will take Cinderella away," Anne said with a smile.
"That's the ending of a fairy tale," Joe stopped a two-seater carriage, happily pulling the princess's delicate
white hand as they climbed in. Anne smiled sweetly, full of anticipation. —The two arrived at the riverbank boat. It was already
evening, and many people had gathered there, filled with the beautiful sound of a saxophone. Joe bought two tickets
, watching Anne intently watching the lively scene, her face full of longing. After
buying the tickets, Joe went to the princess's side, exchanged a smile, and the two walked forward. Some people were drinking
and eating, some were dancing, and some were playing music; the atmosphere was very comfortable and pleasant.
Joe, with the princess in his arms, joined the dancing. The two danced gracefully, gazing at each other
with knowing smiles. Joe held the princess's delicate, white hand in one arm and wrapped his other arm
around her slender waist. Both were lost in the music and in the romance.
The princess wished it could last forever, but at that moment, secret agents began to notice them.
Meanwhile, the princess, deeply moved, had tears welling in her phoenix eyes as she danced with Joe to the music, hoping it
could continue forever.
Anne, close to Joe, rested her elfin chin on his shoulder. Anne closed her eyes, letting Joe lead her
in the dance. Anne smiled, lost in her own world, the princess lost in her own fantasy. Joe looked at the princess and smiled. The
princess opened her eyes and looked at Joe, and the princess smiled too.
"Ha...lou," the princess teased.
"Hello..." Joe said.
The two leaned against each other again, but Joe was so tall that Annie's forehead could only reach his face. Just then,
a dance ended, and the two found a place to sit.
"If you don't mind, I think you're a copycat," the princess said with a laugh.
"A copycat? You flatter me," Joe said.
"You've been with me all day...why?"
the princess asked.
"It's what I should do," the princess said. "I've never met such a kind person," the princess said earnestly.
"It's nothing," the princess said. "You're so selfless," the princess said.
Joe felt a little embarrassed by this, remembering that he had originally intended to complete an exclusive interview with the princess
.
"Let's go to the bar for a drink," Joe said.
Joe took Annie's hand and walked towards the nearby open-air bar. There, the princess encountered the
hairdresser who had cut her hair. The hairdresser invited the princess to dance, and she happily accepted.
This place had everything: dancing, drinking, eating, and a beautiful night view to
enjoy. The princess glanced over while dancing with the hairdresser and waved to Joe, who returned a charming
smile.
Meanwhile, secret agents, aware of the princess's presence, dispatched two cars full of agents—
more than a dozen in total—who surrounded the area. One agent approached the princess, inviting her to dance
. She agreed, but looking at the serious-looking man, she sensed something was amiss.
"Your Highness," the man said.
Hearing him reveal his identity, the princess tried to break free, but the man held her tightly.
"Walk slowly to the entrance…a car is waiting for you," the man said.
"No!" the princess struggled.
"Your Highness," the man said sternly.
"You've mistaken me for someone else…let go…let go…Mr. Bully…let go!" the princess cried.
Joe, hearing Annie's cries, looked over and immediately rushed forward. The tall Joe punched down the two
agents holding Annie, who then tried to run away, but the other secret agents swarmed in.
Joe knocked down another man and threw him into the river. Another man appeared and punched Joe, who turned
and fought him. Kind-hearted Anne threw a swimming ring into the river. At this point, the hairdresser joined
the fight to protect the princess, battling the secret agents.
Most of the bystanders, out of cowardice, stood by and watched, but a few with a strong sense of justice stepped forward to help.
Joe knocked down the secret agents beside him and caught up with the two men who had kidnapped Anne. He knocked them down from behind with a small stool from the ballroom
. Meanwhile, Anne bravely picked up an empty bottle and
smashed it over the head of one of the secret agents who was about to hit Joe.
Outnumbered, Joe gradually began to struggle. Summoning courage from who-knows-where, the innocent and kind
Anne picked up a guitar from the ground and smashed it over the head of another secret agent who was about to attack Joe from behind.
Just then, the alarm sounded; someone had called the police. A large number of local police arrived, and chaos ensued. Joe
grabbed Anne and seized the opportunity to escape, passing through a warehouse where small boats were hidden. Local police rushed in and arrested many of the
secret agents in black suits.
Meanwhile, as Joe and Annie rounded a corner, one of the hidden agents punched them twice, knocking them into
the water. The princess angrily kicked the agent, who dared not retaliate, a few times, then bravely jumped into the river as well.
The agent was arrested by the arriving local police.
The musicians then began playing their saxophones again, and countless people on the boat waved to Joe and Annie as they swam towards the other side
.
The two slowly swam to the other side. Joe helped Annie ashore, found a large rock, and sat down,
laughing. Annie shivered from the cold, but smiled. Joe pulled Annie into his arms and
rubbed her arm.
"Are you alright?"
"It's okay... how about you?"
Annie asked.
"I'm fine," they both laughed, snuggling close together. Annie wiped the dew from her face with her small hand.
"You really showed off your skills just now," Joe said.
"You're amazing too," Annie said, looking at Joe.
Then, Joe kissed Annie's cherry lips. Annie neither resisted nor moved. After they separated, they gazed at each other for a long time.
"I think we should leave here," Joe said.
He helped Annie up, and the two walked along the riverside path away from the place. — Joe's simple room was actually very simple
: a bed, a recliner, a soft sofa, a desk, and a chair. The three lamps, though not very bright
, were all on, and the moonlight streaming in from the window was just right. A landscape painting hung on the wall, and
on the table in front of it stood a statue of a strongman. On the desk were many newspapers, several bottles of wine, and wine glasses.
Joe threw the dirty clothes into the laundry tub, and lyrical music played on the radio. Annie
was fixing her hair in front of the mirror in the bathroom. Joe poured two glasses of wine, intending to hand them to Annie, who had just come out. They smiled at each other; Annie
was still a little embarrassed wearing Joe's pajamas for the second time.
"Are the clothes torn?"
"No… they'll be fine once they dry," Annie said.
"They fit perfectly… you should wear my clothes more often." "That's right," Annie
said, glancing down at Joe's clothes.
They smiled knowingly again.
"Have some wine to warm your stomach," Joe said, handing the wine to Annie.
"Can I cook something?"
Annie asked.
"I don't have a kitchen… I often eat out." "Do you like that?"
Annie asked.
"Life doesn't always go as planned… right?"
Joe said.
"That's right," Annie said.
They drank a glass of wine, slightly awkwardly, and Annie sat on the soft sofa, holding her glass.
"Tired?"
"A little," Annie said.
"You've had a long day." "A memorable day," Annie said with a smile.
Just then, the radio crackled to life: "(Now bringing you a special news report. Towards the end of her European trip, Princess Anne
suddenly fell ill. There has been no further news since, and rumors suggest her condition is serious, causing great concern among her people… )"
As the princess listened, she passed by Joe, slowly walked over, and turned off the radio. Joe turned to look at Anne,
and Anne looked back at Joe.
"Let's listen to the news again tomorrow," Anne said.
"Okay." "May I have some more wine?"
Anne asked.
Joe poured half a glass of wine into Anne's glass, and Anne opened her red lips to taste the wine.
"It's a pity I can't cook dinner," Anne said.
"You learn to cook at school?"
Joe asked shyly.
"I'm a very good cook… I can make a living this way," Anne said, sipping her wine.
"I also know how to sew… clean… iron clothes," Anne said confidently.
"I'm proficient in all the household chores… but I've never had the chance to do them for anyone else," Anne said.
Anne finished speaking, turned her back to Joe, looked at the landscape painting on the wall, and held her wine glass in both hands.
"It seems I should move to a place with a kitchen," Joe said seriously.
"Yes," Anne paused for a moment, then turned to look at Joe.
They stared at each other for a long time, an awkward atmosphere filling Joe's simple room. After a while, Anne lowered her head,
finished the wine in her glass in two gulps, and put the glass down.
"I have to go," Anne said, her voice trembling slightly.
Joe didn't speak at first, but as Anne passed him to find her clothes, Joe pulled her
into his arms. They hugged tightly, Anne pressed her face against Joe's chest and cried. Joe sadly
pressed his face against Anne's head.
"Anne, I have something to tell you." "Don't say it...don't say anything," Anne said sadly.
Joe kissed Anne's forehead, reluctant to leave her. Although Joe didn't cry, his heart ached more than if he had.
"I'm going to change," Annie said.
Joe didn't stop Annie, letting her go into the bathroom to change. The bathroom door closed. Joe silently walked to
the desk, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, picked up the suit jacket from the chair, and put it on. — Annie finished changing and came out of
the bathroom, seeing Joe sitting on the bed with his head down. Joe slowly looked up, his eyes filled with tears, looking into Annie's eyes. Annie felt a
pang of heartache and went forward to hug Joe, stroking his hair and back repeatedly.
Joe also hugged Annie's slender waist and finally cried,
tears streaming down Annie's face and dripping into Joe's hair.
Joe looked up at Annie, tears streaming down his face, and gently wiped away Annie's tears.
"Don't cry." "Then why are you crying?" Annie said.
"I got sand in my eyes." "Do you remember the first time we met?"
Annie said.
"I remember... that night... you were lying alone on a bench by the roadside... I just happened to be passing by," Joe
said.
"Why did you bother with me? Otherwise, we wouldn't be so upset now... We'd both be
living our own lives," Anne said sadly.
"I just knew I couldn't let a girl... just lie there on a bench at night," Joe said.
"Remember... after you first left my house... I actually followed you," Joe said.
"Back then... you already knew who I was... didn't you?"
Anne said.
"Yes... at first I just wanted an exclusive interview with you... so I could make some money," Joe said.
"Did you change your mind later?"
Anne asked.
"I followed you... watching you go shopping... buying shoes... getting a haircut... and sitting
on the steps of the Spanish Steps eating ice cream," Joe said.
"I didn't expect... you to be so bad... I thought you were a gentleman," Anne said.
"Anne, I like you," Joe said.
"I like you too... but... we can't be together," Anne said.
"What can I do to be with you?"
"Remember the kitchen? If you were a successful person... perhaps my family would agree," Anne said.
"Anne... give me time... I'll prove to you... I'm a useful person." "I believe in you
... Joe... I'll wait for you," Anne said. — Joe gave Anne a ride on his motorcycle back to the embassy. The streets
were deserted; it was late at night, with only moonlight and the still-lit streetlights. Passing the bench where they had first
met, Anne asked Joe to stop.
Anne's high-heeled sandals clicked on the cold street, the wind ruffling her skirt and her flowing black
hair. Anne went to the bench where she had lain before, stroking it with her hand. She knelt down, closing her delicate face and pressing it against the bench, reminiscing about that unforgettable day, the day so many   unforgettable things
happened .    Joe got off the motorcycle and stood in front of the bench, watching Anne. He didn't disturb her. Anne lay gracefully   on the chair, silently. After a while, Anne opened her eyes and looked at Joe. Anne reached out her hands to Joe.    "Kiss me," Joe gently pressed his soft body against Anne's, and their lips met. They   kissed deeply, Anne touching Joe's body, his face, his hair, his broad chest. Joe kissed Anne's   thin, cherry-like lips, her slender, fair neck, her white forehead, and smelled her beautiful fragrance.    "You should take me home now," Anne said.    "Okay," Joe said. — Joe drove Anne home, and all the way there was only silence, only the wind listening   , only the moon watching…    "Stop at the next intersection," Anne said.    "Okay." Joe's motorcycle stopped not far from the embassy, and Anne hugged Joe from behind.    "Here?"    Joe said.    "Yes," Anne said.    "Now I'm leaving you… I'll turn around at that corner… You stay here… drive away…   promise me you'll watch me leave, okay?"    Anne said.    "Okay," Joe said.    "I don't know if we'll ever see each other again... but you must try to live a good life... okay?"    Anne said.    "I will," Joe nodded.    "I don't know what to say... I can't speak," Anne said sadly.    "Then don't say anything," Joe said.    They looked at each other, hugged again, and Joe kissed Anne's cherry lips deeply. Anne cried, but Joe didn't   cry this time.    "I really want to have our child... Joe... I'm leaving," Anne said, crying.    "Anne... I will try my best," Joe said.    Joe sat on the motorcycle, watching Anne walk into the embassy, then turned and left. In an instant, the street was lonely again   , with only the moon and streetlights still standing there. —In the princess's room, Anne faced the Duke, the Duchess, and   the doctor.    "Your Highness... you won't have a blank 24 hours, will you?" the Duke said.    "Of course," the princess said.    "How should I explain this to the King... the Queen?"    "I wasn't feeling well... but I'm much better now," the princess said.    “Your Highness…you must understand my duty…Your Highness, you also have your responsibilities.” “My lord, I believe you   won’t say that again…If I didn’t understand my responsibilities to the country…I wouldn’t have returned tonight,” the princess said.    The three men were shocked by the princess’s unprecedented words and demeanor.    “I should say I will never return,” the princess said.    The three men watched Princess Anne in silence.    “I understand today’s work will be very busy…you may now leave,” the princess said.    The Duke led the bow to the princess, followed by the lady and the doctor, and slowly withdrew from the princess’s room. As was   customary, the lady took the plate of milk and biscuits from the servant.    “No biscuits…no milk,” the princess said.    The lady, surprised, returned the plate to the servant, intending to close the door and accompany the princess to sleep.    “You can go back and rest now…Madam,” the princess said.    The lady turned to look at the earnest princess, and after a few seconds, bowed to the princess, then slowly closed the   door and withdrew herself. —In the magnificent and luxurious room, the lighting was soft, the furnishings were expensive, and the carpet was plush.   Anne lay in bed, taking one last look at the winged angel carved on the wall, then turned off the light,   plunging the room into darkness and silence.    "Joe"—The next day, the embassy's reception room.    The spacious hall echoed with the sounds of reporters' discussions, and elegantly dressed   guards stood at intervals around the perimeter. The master of ceremonies approached the princess's throne and clapped twice to signal silence.    "Ladies and gentlemen…please come forward," the master of ceremonies solemnly announced after the crowd had quieted down.    "Please welcome Your Highness," the princess said, leading the Duke, Duchess, doctor, and other attendants slowly into the room. Joe   saw the noble, elegant, and resolute expression on Anne's face and smiled.    The princess wore a white V-neck dress with floral patterns, short sleeves, flesh-colored stockings, white   high heels, a two-piece pearl necklace with a diamond rose in the center,   pearl earrings, and a princess's crown.    "Your Highness…these are media representatives," the Duke said.    Her Highness smiled slightly as she surveyed the assembled guests, nodding gently in greeting. But when she saw Joe, her   lips parted as if to speak, then closed again. She knew she was now Her Highness and knew   what to do.    Her Highness gracefully lifted her skirt and sat on her throne, her gaze meeting Joe's.   Suppressing her true feelings, Her Highness nodded to the master of ceremonies, indicating he could continue.    "Ladies and gentlemen… Her Highness will now answer your questions." "Your Highness… I believe… First,   on behalf of everyone, I am delighted to hear of your full recovery." "Thank you," Her Highness replied.


































































"Does Your Highness believe... that an alliance would help solve Europe's economic problems?"
"I support any measures... that promote closer cooperation among European countries," Her Highness replied.
"And what is Your Highness's view on the future of diplomatic relations among European countries?"
"I am confident in it," Her Highness answered.
Her Highness's calm voice, gentle yet imbued with a noble and dignified air, captivated everyone present.
"Just as I view relationships between people," Her Highness's subordinates were somewhat surprised, as this
wasn't something the princess was supposed to say. At this moment, Joe began to speak.
"Please allow me to speak on behalf of our newspaper... We believe Your Highness's confidence will be fulfilled," Joe said.
"It's so nice to hear you say that," Anne said, looking at Joe with deep emotion, both with tears in their eyes.
"Which city does Your Highness like best?"
another reporter asked.
Hearing this, the princess was lost in thought, reminiscing for a moment.
"Every city has its unforgettable aspects... It's hard to say which one..."
Her Highness replied.
Anne was about to answer with her usual words when she suddenly remembered something.
"Rome... I love Rome the most," Her Highness said with a smile.
Her Highness's words were met with a murmur of praise from the audience.
"My time in Rome will be unforgettable," Her Highness said, gazing affectionately at Joe.
Joe, tears welling in his eyes, looked back at the princess seated on the throne,
their gazes meeting.
"Your Highness... even though you were ill in Rome?"
"That's right," Her Highness replied.
At that moment, the master of ceremonies announced,
"Photos may now be taken." Reporters from various media outlets, cameras in hand, pushed through the barriers to snap photos of Her Highness,
before retreating behind them.
The Duke then spoke.
"Thank you, everyone... thank you all," the Duke said.
Just as the Duke was about to call the princess back to the palace, Her Highness spoke as well.
"Now I would like to meet some friends from the media," Her Highness said.
This drew another round of surprised glances from her subordinates. As the princess began to descend the steps, the Duke and Duchess
tried to follow, but the princess deflected them with a slight bow, and they returned to their original positions.
The princess's white high heels clicked crisply on the marble floor, the sound
echoing amplified in the vast hall.
She gracefully descended the far right of the railing, facing the first member of the press.
"Chicago Daily News, Hitchcock"—"Nice to meet you," the princess shook hands with him.
"Swiss Daily News…Sgenianie"—the princess shook hands with him.
"Deutsche Zeitung…Klinger"—"Hello"—the princess shook hands with him.
"Figaro Magazine…Montebrie"—the princess shook hands with him, and he kissed the back of her hand.
"Amsterdam Daily News…Gianni?"—the lady bowed slightly to the princess.
The princess shook hands with him.
"Parisian Fashion…Chofi"—the princess shook hands with him.
"New Zealand Radio…Gross"—the princess shook hands with him.
"Mundree ABC TV…Cavanlas"—"Hello"—the princess shook hands with him.
"New York Times…Linber"—"Good afternoon"—the princess shook hands with him.
Reaching the last person, Joe, the two looked at each other with deep emotion, their eyes filled with tears.
"American News...Jobley." "A pleasure to meet...Mr. Bry." Her Highness Anne shook hands with him.
The princess's handshake with Joe was the longest, drawing envy from those around them.
"Please accept these...photos from Rome as souvenirs," Joe said.
"Thank you," Her Highness.
After the audience, Anne slowly and gracefully turned around, and a round of applause erupted from the audience, lasting for a long time.
Finally, Anne stood before the throne, turned back, and smiled at the media. Her gaze finally fell
on Joe, a mixture of tears and a smile on her face. Joe smiled back and nodded to Anne, who nodded back.
Anne reluctantly turned and left, her subordinates following the princess as she departed. The media representatives watched
them leave, then also left the hall.
Joe was the first reporter to walk out of the embassy; he didn't look back.
The reception hall fell silent once more!
