"Visiting? Spain?"
Alan was stunned. Why bring him along for such a thing?
Although he felt good when he received his salary, a decent wage of tens of thousands of pounds every month, when it came to actually working, he felt a little reluctant to do it.
Nominally he was His Royal Highness's bodyguard, but normally, he wasn't really required to protect Charles.
This is a traditional position with great symbolic significance.
Alan remembered his father. He didn't accompany Charles very often before. He seemed to have accompanied him to America a few times, but he couldn't remember clearly.
As for the good things Capel mentioned later?
Alan really couldn't understand what good things were waiting for him in Spain.
…
"Haha... Your Excellency, this time we really need you to take action." Capel lagged behind Allen by half a step. He turned his head slightly to look around and made sure that no one was following him. Then he whispered, "The relationship between His Highness Felipe and our Highness... um... so this time, His Highness needs you to go with him and suppress him."
Alan looked at Capel, who was gesticulating and speaking vaguely. After a long while, he still didn't quite understand what Capel meant.
"You mean... there's a conflict between Felipe and His Highness?"
Since he didn't understand what it meant, Alan started to guess. What kind of trouble could there be between these royal families?
"Well... a little bit, um..."
Although Capell is a knight, he cannot directly comment on the crown prince of a country, even a foreign one, so he cannot say it directly, but Allen guessed that he can give him an answer such as denial or confirmation based on what Allen said.
Seeing that Capel was still like this, Alan felt a little annoyed. Traditional butlers like them, whether it was Capel or his own Huth, were all like this. They definitely had a certain level of knowledge. They all graduated from professional butler academies and had knowledge in many areas, but when it came to speaking, they were very traditional and abided by the rules. Even in private, they dared not say a word that they shouldn't say.
The other party is the Crown Prince of Spain, so Capel can't say it directly, but if he doesn't explain it clearly, Alan won't understand what he means!
This feeling is so uncomfortable!
Thinking about the gesture Capel just made, Allen asked tentatively: "Is Felipe tall?"
Capell then smiled and said, "People from the Bourbon family are generally tall, even taller than you."
Hold!
I see. After Capell said this, Allen remembered that Charles was not as tall as Allen, but now the Spanish crown prince was taller than Charles. This time, Charles was visiting, and the other party didn’t seem to get along well with him. They were both crown princes…
Does this mean we should give up on this?
So this bodyguard of his? Is he following Charles around to give him a good reputation?
Allen met Capel's eyes with confusion, and Capel looked at Allen and smiled.
"So...what does good mean?"
"Hehe... Your Excellency, His Royal Highness said that you are already an adult and should consider your lifelong affairs, and...Princess Christina is about the same age as you, you two can get to know each other."
"hiss……"
Charles has an unfriendly relationship with most of the nobles in the country. Allen even thinks it is better this way. Charles is a person with a strong desire for control, but he still takes good care of his own people. In this way, he will inevitably arrange Allen's affairs.
Given his bad relationship with the domestic nobles, Allen thought he could avoid a lot of trouble. After all, the tradition of the English nobility is to marry within the family. Charles did not have a good relationship with most of the nobles, so that could save him a lot of trouble.
but……
I didn't expect it to be Charles.
He actually found himself a blind date with a foreign princess!
This is a princess of the Spanish royal family, not just some random person, etc...
Charles and Felipe are not getting along, and this so-called princess is about the same age as him, this...
Just because you don’t get along with others, do you have to let your guards get to know other people’s sisters?
Holy shit…
…
"Um...Capel, can I ask you something? Who is this Princess Christina?"
"Oh... Your Excellency is concerned about this. She is the elder sister of Crown Prince Felipe. She is dignified and well-known. Your Highness has already made inquiries. She is a good match for you!"
"Isn't this a beauty trap?!"
Alan didn't want to go even more. Not only did he have to follow Charles around and pretend to be cool, but he also had to seduce girls. He had no interest in that princess at all!
Among the nobles, any good-looking woman would become famous early on, just like Allen. Who among the nobles in London didn't know that he was good-looking?
But Alan had never heard of the name of Princess Christina. Combined with Capell's introduction just now, she was of dignified appearance and had a good reputation.
There is not a single word related to good-looking or pretty!
What good is this?
Are you going to let me, Alan, be a gigolo?
Or you have to sacrifice your appearance!
…
"Hahaha, if you think so, it's not impossible..."
Capell looked at Alan and thought that he even mentioned the beauty trap. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that this was indeed what His Highness meant.
As a titled old earl of the United Kingdom, Lord Alan is well-matched with the Spanish princess, not to mention that they have His Royal Highness Charles, the Crown Prince, as introducer.
If we add Mr. Allen's face into the picture, to be honest, according to what Your Highness said, Princess Christina is the one who got the upper hand!
"Sir...what do you think?"
Capell looked at Allen, who was frowning and thinking, and smiled slightly. This gentleman was more playful, and Capell knew this, so it was normal for him to resist when he heard that he was going to be arranged to go on a blind date, but...
It is His Highness who makes the decision now, not this Excellency.
…
"What do you think? Is it okay if I don't go?"
I'm still a child!
How old is he? He is only 19 years old this year. Alan doesn't want to find a wife and start a family so early. What's the point of life then?
Is there any difference between a single noble and a married noble who is out for sex?
What a huge difference!
…
"Haha, Your Excellency, before I came here this time, His Highness specifically told me that if you don't want to go, that's fine, but..."
"Then I won't go! I have to shoot a movie soon, I have something important to do!"
Allen listened to what Capel said and ignored him, but when he wanted to say something later, he decisively refused.
"That's fine. Then, as His Highness said, I will arrange for you to enroll next month. Do you have any favorite schools?"
"???"
Alan paused, frowned and stared at Capel.
If you don't go, he will threaten you with going to school. Compared with going to university, going on a business trip for a few days is not so unacceptable.
"I suddenly feel that going to school is not a good choice when His Highness needs me. When is the date of the visit scheduled?"
The situation is stronger than people...
When Alan heard that he was going to be sent to school, he instantly became timid.
"Haha, it's just these few days. Your Excellency, please be prepared. After I return, I will report to His Highness and notify you of the specific travel time. I will call Hu Te in advance to communicate."
Capell was very satisfied with the choice of the gentleman in front of him. Now that the work was done, he could go in and have a rest and drink some tea. It was almost tea time.
…
"Well... OK, Sir Capel, then you will have to go back and tell His Highness that... It's getting late, so I won't ask you to go in and rest. Go back early and report the situation to His Highness."
Alan gestured to Huth, who had been watching from a distance, and asked him to see the guest off. After that, he turned around and walked towards the hall without paying any more attention to Capel.
"this……"
Capel was instantly blocked by Allen and couldn't say a word. Looking at Allen's back as he walked away with his hands behind his back, he shook his head in a helpless manner.
…
The plane to Madrid will land in twenty minutes.
Alan sat in his seat, squinting his eyes and looking a little bored.
He was wearing a light blue plaid suit and had a retro hairstyle that was combed back smoothly with a layer of hairspray. On the false pocket on his chest was a pure gold crown brooch with the British royal emblem and a metal brooch of the Hill family.
Although he was appointed as a guard, Charles did not really let Allen be a guard. Instead, he assigned him work as a personal assistant.
While he was thinking about these random things, suddenly, someone stuffed something into his hand. Alan opened his eyes and looked at the burly man in front of him and the small box he handed to him in some confusion.
"Sir... this is your weapon."
"Me too?"
As soon as he mentioned weapons, Alan knew what was in the small box.
"Yes... You can take it for self-defense. They have a place like this, so it's better to be prepared just in case."
The strong man spoke of Spain with disdain.
Alan looked at the box in his hand and nodded, "Don't leave in a hurry. My calves are numb from sitting. Ask someone to come and massage them for me."
"Uh... yes! Please wait a moment, sir."
…
At Madrid Barajas International Airport, next to a separate runway, the welcoming guard of honor was already ready, and under the huge awning sat two women dressed as noble ladies.
Although it is June and the outdoor temperature has reached 20 degrees, the older woman on the left is wearing a gray women's suit with a mid-length skirt, while the woman in her twenties sitting next to her is wearing a bright red three-quarter sleeve dress.
"Sister... the earl they are talking about is said to be the most handsome nobleman in the whole of Britain?"
"Humph... As long as he's not bald."
Princess Elena did not comment on what the British said about his extraordinary handsomeness, which shocked the British noble earl.
Charles is coming to visit today, but the King will definitely not come due to his status and seniority.
And Charles's expected old rival, Felipe VI, did not come either!
Hosting the reception were Felipe's elder sister, Princess Elena, and her younger sister, Princess Cristina.
Princess Christina was extremely nervous at this time. Waiting for a blind date at the airport made her feel both novel and shy.
"Your Highnesses... His Royal Highness Charles's private plane will land soon."
The person in charge of the airport ran over, sweating profusely, and bent over to report the latest situation to Princess Elena.
"Okay! Notify the band and get ready."
…
When Charles' private plane parked, a red carpet was rolled out at the end of the boarding stairs. The two Spanish princesses who were responsible for welcoming Charles stood at the end of the red carpet and watched a tall young man in a blue suit walk out of the cabin first.
As soon as the young man got out of the cabin, he waved in the direction of the band below, but he seemed to feel that this method was not right. Then the tall young man adjusted his suit slightly and slowly walked down the boarding stairs.
The young man went down to the last step and stood at the bottom of the boarding stairs with his hands in front of him, looking very alert to his surroundings.
…
Princess Elena looked at the tall young man from afar and was somewhat surprised that the Englishman did not lie this time!
For a moment she even regretted getting married too early!
He glanced at Princess Christiana next to him, who had already been shyly staring at the ground, gently drawing circles on the ground with her toes.
…
As Alan walked out of the cabin, he suddenly wanted to say a slogan like "Hello, comrades". He just raised his hand, but when he looked at the group of foreign faces below, he instantly lost interest. He walked down the boarding stairs somewhat angrily, stood at the entrance of the boarding stairs, pretending to be alert and waiting for Charles and his wife to get off the plane.
…
Charles held Diana's hand, and the two walked out of the cabin after Allen, with Charles in front and Diana behind, slowly walking down the stairs.
"Alan...why don't you go up and say hello first."
Looking at Alan who was standing there obediently pretending to be a bodyguard, and then looking at the two princesses who were about ten meters apart at the end of the red carpet, Charles was furious!
How embarrassing and so ungentlemanly!
"Uh... Your Highness, I am your guard. I will not go anywhere until you come down. I want to ensure your safety!"
"Do I need your protection?! Follow me!"
Charles scolded Alan in a low voice, and when he raised his head, he smiled again. Then he remembered that the wrong person seemed to have come to the scene. Why wasn't that idiot Felipe here?
…
"Your Highness Charles, Princess Diana, Spain welcomes you."
Princess Elena had a strong aura. She stretched out her right hand and shook hands with Charles, then gave Diana a gentle hug. She pointed to her sister next to her and introduced her.
After the two sides finished their greetings, Princess Elena took Charles to review the guard of honor. Only Diana and Princess Christina were left at the scene, and Alan followed behind Diana.
…
"Alan, Alan, this is Princess Christina, and this is Alan, Count Alan Hill."
Diana was not afraid of trouble at all. As soon as Charles walked away, she began to introduce to Allen the target of this beauty trap - Princess Christina.
"Uh...Hello, Princess. I'm Allen Hill. Nice to meet you."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, too, Mr. Allen."
Princess Christina glanced at Allen secretly, and as soon as her eyes met Allen's, she shyly lowered her head.
Diana watched this scene happily, lowered the brim of her hat a little, leaned sideways to hide her expression, and said, "Don't be shy, wait until the welcoming ceremony is over, Alan, you walk with Princess Christina."
"This is my first time in Madrid. I'm not familiar with this place!"
