The young Albert was visibly taken aback, as if he didn't expect Arthur to ask such a mundane question at this moment.
He thought Arthur would ask him his opinion on the Belgian issues.
Albert hesitated and cleared his throat: "The newspaper... I haven't really been reading much lately."
He spoke softly, as if admitting to some disgraceful fault.
Arthur smiled and asked, "Does Your Highness not like reading the news?"
"It's not that I don't like it; I do read the newspapers often." Albert, embarrassed, scratched the back of his head: "It's just... since arriving in London, I've been busy catching up on the latest issues of 'The British' these past few days."
When Albert said this, it was now Arthur's turn to be stunned.
"Hmm?"
Albert blushed as he explained: "When I was at Bonn University, I would occasionally ask someone to send me a few copies from England. But the mailing process was too slow, and I could basically only read last month's back issues each time."
