The convoy left Cardiff and headed northwest, a drive of less than an hour.

There are not many vehicles along the road, and it is basically an ordinary country road.

For Jiaxin, who has always lived in Hong Kong and Macau, she can still get used to going to South Korea from Hong Kong because the population density of Koreans is relatively high.

But after suddenly arriving in Wales, Cardiff was not so bad, as it was the capital, and the pedestrians and vehicles on the road were relatively normal. But as the convoy moved further northwest, there were fewer and fewer vehicles on the road, and later on, you might not see a car on the road for several minutes.

There are more animals than cars!

Looking at the abandoned castle flashing by on the side of the road, Jiaxin looked regretful. This ancient castle full of historical traces was just lying there in ruins, exposed to the wind and sun, with no one maintaining it.

…

"Alan...does your family have a territory?"

Jiaxin had heard Allen talk about this in general terms, but the occasion was not right and she was just excited. She didn't remember the exact size of the territory or what it meant, except for a string of numbers.

Alan glanced out the car window casually and said, "We are now in Lower Port Talbot. In ten minutes or so, we will be in my territory!"

"Ah? The territory you told me about last time? How big is it?"

…

"2395! Square kilometers!"

Alan was very familiar with this string of numbers. Although his father sold some land, he also redeemed some of it over the years, and was still negotiating for some others. Anyway, as the local tyrant, he couldn't do anything with the land if the other party dared not to sell it.

When Jiaxin heard this number, her eyes widened and she looked very cute.

Based on her limited knowledge, if she remembered correctly, the entire Hong Kong, including the reclaimed land, seemed to have a total area of ​​only more than 1,000 square kilometers. And what about Alan?

Their own fiefdom is bigger than two Hong Kongs!

What is the concept?

In Hong Kong, for ordinary people, a mansion of a thousand square feet is considered a big house!

How big is a thousand-foot mansion?

More than ninety square meters.

Even for the mansions and villas of the wealthy, an area of ​​several hundred square meters is already amazing, and those over a thousand square meters are the top luxury homes in Hong Kong!

Right now...

This is an area of ​​more than 2,000 square kilometers, and it’s located in Britain!

No wonder Allen said at the time that when he succeeded to the throne, he would rather die than sell the land, and would rather owe inheritance tax than not protect his family's land.

Whoever owns so much land in Britain will protect it to the death!

Jiaxin turned her head and looked out the window again. The woods on both sides of the road seemed to no longer be woods.

But...it's a golden ground paved entirely with gold bricks!

…

"My place is quite large, but the population is not large. The entire Carmarthenshire has a population of just over 100,000. There hasn't been a census in several years, but it seems to have exceeded 100,000 in the past two years."

Alan took Jiaxin's little hand, as if to start a conversation, and took the initiative to introduce her to the situation of the entire Carmarthen County.

"The entire county's population is only over 100,000?"

No wonder there are not many vehicles and people on the road. With such a large land and such a small population, there are only dozens of people per square kilometer. In addition, people live in groups in the form of villages and towns. It seems that the whole Carmarthenshire can be described as sparsely populated!

…

Alan coughed dryly. There were historical reasons why there were so few people, but those were all dark histories, so it was better not to talk about them.

"The political and cultural centre of Wales is around Cardiff, which is also the most densely populated area. Apart from a few counties and cities around Cardiff, there are not many people in other places."

Allen stretched out his right hand and gestured, and continued: "The terrain of Wales is like a big chicken leg, or like a pistol."

"The bottom of the handle is Pembrokeshire, and the middle of the handle is Carmarthenshire. To the southeast of Carmarthenshire is the core area of ​​Wales. Other places in the north, such as the trigger and the middle of the barrel, are sparsely populated counties. There are several national parks around Carmarthenshire."

At this point, Allen smiled and said, "The core area of ​​Wales is surrounded by Carmarthenshire in the west, England in the east, and the sea in the south."

Jiaxin nodded as if he understood. He didn't understand what Alan's last sentence meant. Instead, he became more and more curious about the Alan family castle, which he had never seen before.

Alan looked at Jiaxin, and seeing that she didn't ask any more questions, he didn't want to explain anymore.

…

With this kind of terrain, the entire essential area of ​​Wales is enclosed. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a dead end. If people behave themselves, everything will be easy.

If you are not honest, you will be attacked from both the east and west...

As for saying that they can rely on the sea and fight a desperate battle.

Britain’s strongest weapon used to be its navy. What’s the point of fighting a desperate battle? The closer to the sea, the more miserable the deaths.

Of course, Wales is now extremely stable, so these ancient strategic locations are no longer prominent.

…

Finally saw the so-called castle, to be honest, Jiaxin felt a little disappointed.

This was not quite what she had imagined.

Her idea of ​​a castle was the one on the Walt Disney Studios logo.

The kind where a prince and princess live in a castle.

But the castle in front of her looked very rough to her.

The wall surrounding the main entrance is covered with mottled dark spots, which makes it look fierce but lacks spiritual energy.

Why?

It doesn’t seem right…

Although this castle is not quite the same as she imagined, there are indeed two real princes, William and Harry, living in this castle now.

…

"What are you thinking about? Follow me."

Alan took the initiative to hold Jiaxin's hand and led her towards the main hall. Alan's smile was still on his face from a distance, and in the distance, the whimpering sound of a little kid came from far away.

Then……

Harry, the little golden retriever, ran towards Alan.

Alan was confused as he saw her running and crying. What happened?

He no longer cared about Jiaxin. He let go of his hand and looked at Harry who was getting closer and closer, then he squatted down.

…

"Cousin! Your pet always bullies me! You have to take charge of this for me!"

"???"

Alan raised his eyebrows and looked at Huth who was directing people to pack their luggage behind him.

Hut was also attracted by the movement here. Seeing Alan looking at him, he quickly trotted over to Alan and said, "Uh... Master, this is what happened."

…

Since Alan took William away, Harry was the only one left at home.

He was a little kid who lived a "hellish" life every day. He had to get up in the morning to learn horse riding and attend classes during the day. He finally had time to play in the afternoon, but he still had to continue learning music, etiquette, etc. in the evening.

Anyway, every day is scheduled very fully.

In this situation, one day...when Harry ran to the stable to play, he accidentally saw several caged animals.

This is an improved breed of South Hill sheep, a specialty of southern England, generally called baby South Hill sheep.

The little one is a type of mutton that can be eaten for meat. Its characteristic is that it does not grow big, but the meat is very plump and tender, and it also has something else.

The appearance is very cute.

Generally speaking, anything that doesn't grow big looks cute as long as it's furry.

This puppy-sized lamb, with its black and white fur, looked very much like the Scottish Highland cattle that Alan had given to William.

The first time Harry saw this kind of sheep, he fell in love with it.

He refused to allow the kitchen staff to kill the sheep and insisted on raising it as a pet.

…

Then……

The food that should have been kept in the stable temporarily has become a small pet that can run around on the lawn in the yard.

Everything is so beautiful, but there is another pet in the whole castle.

Little Yellow, who was originally the "bully" of the castle, suddenly discovered a little creature strolling around in the yard while taking a daily walk.

Xiao Huang is now an adult. When he stands up, his head is higher than a person's knees. He weighs more than six kilograms, which is several times larger than a normal snowy owl in the wild. He is considered fat and strong.

Normally, it would peck the servants in the castle when it disliked them, but it was not polite to this kind of lamb.

In just two days...

Harry's new pet was caught and killed by Xiao Huang.

Then he provoked him in front of Harry.

Harry hugged his pet and burst into tears. The most annoying thing was that he couldn't catch Xiao Huang.

Now, as soon as Alan came back, Harry found his relatives immediately and ran over to complain.

…

Alan nodded seriously, wiped Harry's tears with a handkerchief and said, "So what happened to your pet later?"

Seeing such a loving Harry, Alan felt something was wrong.

This little brat's temper can't be so loving, right?

Harry sniffed and said in a wronged voice, "I ate it."

"???"

You cried for a long time and finally told me...did you eat the sheep?

Your love comes quickly and goes away quickly.

"Don't cry for a minute. Tomorrow I'll have someone bring you another one to keep. I'll go back and teach Xiao Huang a lesson."

"good!"

…

Children are so easy to please, especially little boys, who are much easier to take care of than little girls.

Alan grabbed Harry's little hand, glanced at Jiaxin who was a little confused beside him and said, "Let's go home!"

…

When Jiaxin came to the castle for the first time, many things here gave her a great shock.

First of all, when she met William for the first time a few days ago, she was very excited. It was an opportunity that most people didn’t have to see the grandson of the British monarch at such a close distance.

But after following Allen, it seemed like a common occurrence.

And then I met Harry today.

This was nothing like the prince she had imagined!

A true prince is the one who wears handsome armor, a red cape, and looks...

She should look like Alan.

This is the prince in Jiaxin's mind, but Harry is more like an ordinary little kid who also cries and complains.

Then, after we finish cleaning up, it’s time for dinner.

Jiaxin sat at the small round table.

When Alan showed her around just now, they saw a banquet hall in the lobby on the first floor, but the place where they were eating now was a very ordinary small round table, not big, which could seat four or five people.

William sat opposite her, Alan sat next to her, Harry sat next to William, and Butler Hut stood behind Alan.

There were not as many servants as one might have imagined. Although there were many servants in the castle, there were only two servants serving the food.

One pushed the food cart and the other was responsible for setting the tableware.

Looking at the dishes on the table, there are both Western and Chinese food!

When Alan was in Korea, he always ate Western-style food. When Jiaxin saw the dishes served, she couldn't help but be surprised.

He took the hot towel handed to him by the servant and wiped his hands.

The insulated dishes were served still steaming and had a strong aroma. The tableware was also warm, whether it was the plates, chopsticks, or knives and forks, they were all warm!

Looking at these not-too-expensive dishes and the entire layout, Jiaxin felt that this was not a bad idea.

Although it was different from what she had imagined, it was low-key yet luxurious.

Without any pretense, seeing William pick up a garlic shrimp tail with a fork and put it into his mouth, and looking at Alan who had already started eating, Jiaxin subconsciously picked up the chopsticks and started eating as well.

…

"Master, Sir Capel called this morning and said that His Highness asked you to rest for a few days after you come back, write a report, and then go to him to report the situation."

After dinner, Alan returned to the study and finally saw Xiao Huang sleeping in the corner of the study.

"Get up! Silly bird."

I kicked Xiao Huang and he opened his eyes in a daze.

I don't know if it's the influence of the environment, but its habits are different from those of ordinary owls. Now Xiao Huang likes to sleep in the nest, just like humans, sleeping with his legs spread out. Alan even walked so close to it, but it was not alert at all.

…

“Coo-coo!”

Xiao Huang shook his big head in a very human way. His big yellow eyes were a little cross-eyed due to sleepiness. He stared at Alan for a long time before he recognized that he was his master.

He quickly struggled to stand up, flapped his wings twice, stood at Alan's feet, and rubbed his head against Alan's trouser leg.

I picked up Xiao Huang. His weight was like that of a puppy.

While stroking the little yellow's feathers, Allen thought for a moment and said, "Call Capel and ask him if His Highness is free tomorrow. I will go over and report the situation to His Highness tomorrow."

…

"this?"

Huth was a little embarrassed.

"I'll write the report overnight, it's okay!"

Charles asked him to rest for two days before reporting back.

After such a big mistake, why should he take a rest?

Under normal circumstances, Alan would have done so reluctantly, but now, things were different.

In this situation, who knows if Charles is just being polite. When your boss asks you to take a break, you'd better finish your work quickly!

Can't he take a rest anytime throughout the year? Why does he have to take a rest during these few days?

Alan is thinking very clearly now. No matter what the reason is this time, even if it was the Koreans who stole the equestrian team's gold medal, he still has to take the responsibility!

He won the award to gild his reputation, and now that he didn't win the award and something went wrong, can Alan still shirk responsibility?

In this situation, the best choice is to honestly admit your mistakes and play the victim!

Regardless of whether Charles was angry or not, Alan decided to think of a moving and extremely tragic story overnight. If everything went well tomorrow, he had to be one step ahead of Charles and admit his mistake honestly and then play the victim before he started to blame him.

I'm in such a miserable situation, but instead of shirking responsibility, I honestly admit my mistake. Does Charles still have the nerve to quarrel with him?

This is called doing the opposite, following Charles' path and leaving Charles with no way to go!

…

"Okay, I have my own arrangements. You can make the call now. I'll write the report first."

Alan looked at Huth and waved, telling him to hurry up and make an appointment before it was too late.
