Raymond immediately thought of the information about Allen in his mind. Although these information were just fragments of information that had only been circulated due to last year's gossip, thinking about that gentleman, it was said that he did not have a particularly good temper. Instead, he was very irritable and a little vicious.

What if he brought people with him, kidnapped me on a whim under the pretext of making a movie, and then suddenly attacked me?

Thinking of all these conspiracies...

…

Seeing Governor Raymond suddenly become gloomy and silent, Cameron looked at Patrice in a daze, not understanding what was going on.

Why did the atmosphere suddenly become cold while we were chatting?

Cameron even doubted whether he had said something wrong just now, but he recalled what he had just said in his mind again, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong.

…

"Well, about the filming of the movie."

Governor Raymond glanced at the two of them, his expression somewhat embarrassed.

He wanted to refuse now, but he couldn't think of any reason to refuse for a while.

All the worries were out of instinct. In his opinion, if these people were allowed in, it would be like a mouse falling into a rice jar. Wouldn't they be able to do whatever they wanted to them?

Although Canada is now in a state of obeying orders but not declarations, it is still a member of the Commonwealth and the nominal monarch is still the Queen.

As long as they recognize the Queen, they must also recognize other corresponding things, such as the preferential treatment and privileges of the British aristocracy.

What if something unexpected happened to Count Allen or his "actors" during filming in Canada, such as bullying ordinary people? What should we do?

Don't say that they have good quality. There are more than a thousand strong young men, all in their twenties and thirties, at the prime of their life. It is bound to be problems after filming here for several months!

If something goes wrong, who is responsible?

Want to arrest someone?

Don't even think about it. He is a nobleman and cannot be arrested at all. Even their police don't have the qualifications to question him. The most they can do is to deport that gentleman, and when he returns, nothing will happen to him.

As for the people he brought with him, what if this gentleman is a protective person and insists that these people are servants in his house?

The servants of the nobles could not be arrested at will. If they made mistakes, they had to look for the nobles behind them to take action.

As for how to manage it?

Raymond could figure it out with his heels. All he had to do was let them go back to Wales, and that would be it...

The current situation has become one where we are afraid of both wolves in front and tigers behind.

Just say that they are not allowed to make the movie, but you can't find any good reason. You can't just make things clear, right?

…

Patrice looked at Governor Raymond, who seemed to be hesitant to speak. He couldn't understand why the governor was so amiable just now but now looked like he was in a desperate situation.

"Uh... Governor Raymond, are our demands unreasonable?"

With the purpose of testing, Patrice casually asked a question.

"No, no, no... Mr. Patrice, you know that as the Governor General of Canada, I personally don't take care of this aspect of work right now. I'm mainly responsible for some publicity and charity matters. Otherwise... why don't you go ask the Prime Minister again?"

"???"

As soon as he said this, Patrice finally understood.

For some unknown reason, Governor Raymond, with whom we were just talking nicely, was now being sent to the Prime Minister.

Everyone understands the truth. Although Governor Raymond is not a nobleman, he is the governor. Allen asked Patrice to come to him because he is the governor. If he asks them to go to the prime minister now, what will that mean?

Patrice narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Governor Raymond, who had an embarrassed look on his face, but his eyes revealed a look of keeping people at a distance.

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you, Governor Raymond. We'll take our leave today."

After saying this, Patrice stood up, signaled with his eyes to Cameron who looked confused, and the two of them walked away decisively.

Since the other party is so resistant and you don't know the reason, why are you still hesitating?

…

"What's wrong? Weren't we talking just fine?"

Driving out of the Governor's Palace, Cameron still didn't understand what was going on, and couldn't help but ask Patrice who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"How should I know?! These damn Canadians are such troublemakers!"

Patrice was also a little confused. This inexplicable rejection made him very unhappy. Just as he said the complaint, he remembered that Cameron was also Canadian, so he quickly added: "I'm only talking about some Canadians, which definitely doesn't include you."

Cameron nodded subconsciously. While driving, he recalled what had just happened and subconsciously said to himself: "Do you think... he thinks that there are too many of us coming this time?"

"Hmm? Not really?"

Patrice didn't think about it at all. There are many large crews in Hollywood, and there are crews of hundreds of people. Their crew of thousands of people this time is only slightly more than the Hollywood crew of hundreds of people...

There's nothing to be surprised about.

"Oh..." Cameron sighed. He had finally returned to Canada for work, but now things haven't been done yet, and he felt a little melancholy.

"So where are we going next? Are we really going to see the Prime Minister?"

"No, let's book a flight and go to Los Angeles."

Patrice rejected Cameron's idea. Why go? It was clear that they were not welcome. Why bother to go and please their faces? Was it necessary for him?

"To Los Angeles?"

"The young master gave us two tasks. The first one is to come over and discuss cooperation with the Governor General of Canada, and the second one is about props. Now we have messed up the first one, so we can only do the second one first."

Patrice shrugged and looked at Cameron helplessly.

"Well, that's all we can do."

…

Windsor Castle, Berkshire, southeast England, before the Queen's birthday in April.

Bobby Robson followed Allen carefully like a follower.

The two haven't seen each other for several months. This is the first time they have met since the end of the World Cup last year.

In last year's World Cup, England achieved its best result in recent decades and deserves the praise it deserves.

Theoretically, this award is late and should have been given at the end of last year.

However, there were many special circumstances last year, and after the merits were reported, they had to be reviewed and adjusted by all parties. In the end there was a slight delay, and they could not be scheduled for the awarding of honors at the end of the year. They could only be awarded together with the Queen’s birthday at the beginning of this year.

…

"Sir, have you come here often before?"

Looking at Alan who was walking in front, Bobby Robson asked softly. Ever since entering Windsor Castle, he felt that his eyesight was not enough and everything he saw was strange.

As we all know, Windsor Castle is the Queen's favorite castle and she often likes to stay here.

This castle complex on the south bank of the Thames was originally built to guard ships traveling on the Thames and protect the royal family.

Compared with other palaces, the living environment at Windsor Castle seems a little worse. Not far away is Heathrow International Airport, with so many planes taking off and landing every day, the noise is very loud.

Boss Cha really dislikes Windsor Castle.

But all this was not a problem for Bobby Robson who was here for the first time!

…

When Alan heard what Bobby Robson said, he didn't want to say anything. It was his first time here today, and Alan didn't like it here very much.

He mainly hated being so close to the old lady. Fortunately, although the old lady would attend the awarding ceremony in person today, the one who would actually award the award would be Boss Cha who was doing it on her behalf, and the Queen would only watch from the side.

Arriving at the entrance of the Medal Awarding Hall, Allen stopped and whispered, "Go and line up first. Someone will come to meet you in a while."

There are many people being awarded medals here today, but the medals they are awarded are all different. The whole process will be carried out in order of status, and people will be awarded medals in order of their status.

Alan himself certainly didn't need to queue up. Today, among those waiting to be awarded medals, he had the highest status, so of course he would be the first in line!

He adjusted his naval officer's dress uniform. The dark blue uniform had no military rank, only a golden royal aide-de-camp ribbon on the right shoulder. Alan felt a little excited when he thought that he would also have his first medal.

As for the medal he received today, Boss Cha has not yet told him in advance, saying that he wants to give him a little surprise.

For nobles like them, other than the medals they have received being announced, the specific contributions they made to receive the medals will not be made public and only specific people can view them.

Keeping it secret from the outside is also a tradition. Otherwise, how can we announce the fact that the boss has such a large row of medals on his chest?

He got the medals by brushing them. He made no contribution at all. Just like Alan now, he went with the team to participate in a World Cup, and he basically did not put in any effort, but he was able to get the medal smoothly. Only two people in the whole team can receive the medal this time, Alan, the royal representative leading the team, and the team's head coach Bobby Robson. As for the players?

Sorry... there's no place for them.

Although it was those players who really fought hard on the field, the cruel reality is that they were only praised once by the media, and nothing else.

And the medal Allen received this time was definitely better than the one Bobby Robson could have received.

…

With the roll call, Allen heard his name, and two guards wearing bear-skin hats solemnly opened the double doors of the Medal Awarding Hall.

A solemn and low sound of music came from somewhere. Alan tightened his collar a little nervously, stepped onto the red carpet, and slowly walked into the awarding hall.

In the main hall, there was a red carpet laid out in a T shape, and at the end of the red carpet that Alan was walking on was a row of red carpets.

At the intersection of the T-shaped red carpet, a super low stool was placed on the ground.

Boss Cha was also wearing a military uniform with a ribbon and a row of medals hanging on his left chest. When he saw Alan coming in first, he raised his eyebrows at Alan and said something serious.

Not far behind and to the left of Boss Cha were several "civil servants" sitting behind desks, responsible for taking notes.

Behind him on the right stood a royal servant holding a tray.

The entire awarding hall is not large, but it is decorated very luxuriously and solemnly.

The Queen was standing not far behind Boss Cha, wearing a top hat and carrying a blue bag in her left hand. When she saw Alan come in, she rarely curled the corner of her mouth at Alan, as if she was smiling.

When Alan saw this, he quickly bowed and saluted, then walked to the small stool and waited quietly for the next procedure.

…

Among the "civil servants" who were responsible for recording, the one on the far right stood up and read aloud.

"Alan Hill, Earl of Carmarthen..."

Then a long list of Allen's identities was introduced, and finally it was mentioned that Allen led the England team to the World Cup in Italy last year, and the team achieved very good results, which enhanced the prestige of our empire.

After finishing this long introduction, Alan saw Boss Cha looking at him, so he quickly stepped forward with his left leg, bent his right knee, and knelt on the small stool next to him.

This is a half-kneeling gesture, a bit like the posture of kneeling on one knee when a man proposes to a woman, but compared to that posture of kneeling on one knee, this one does not require you to kneel down at all. You can just place your right knee on a low stool.

It was the same routine. Boss Cha drew out his saber, tapped Alan's left shoulder, and said some words of encouragement, which was considered as his recognition of Alan's contribution as announced by the civil servant. Then he put away his saber and picked up the medal on the tray held by the servant next to him, a cross medal with a small white flower and a blue decorative ribbon.

…

When Alan saw the style of the medal, he raised his eyebrows. Boss Cha must have put a lot of effort into it.

The medal awarded this time is of extremely high value - the Royal Victorian Medal.

The peculiarity of this series of medals lies in that this series of medals can only be awarded to members of the British royal family, foreign royal families, and nobles who have made outstanding contributions to the British royal family.

Since its establishment in 1896, the identity of the first recipient is also legendary. The reason why Allen knew about this medal was because he was deeply impressed by the first person to receive it.

This medal was created in June of that year, and more than a month later, Li Hongzhang, who happened to be visiting Britain, was awarded this medal...

Li Hongzhang was a count and was eligible to be awarded an honor.

This is a little bit of unpopular knowledge. Alan remembered Li Hongzhang and thus remembered this medal.

It’s quite amazing to think that more than a hundred years ago, Li Zhongtang received this medal here.

However, the difference between Allen and Li Zhongtang is that the latter's Royal Victorian Medal is of a higher rank than his.

This thing is divided into five grades.

From high to low, there is the Grand Cross level, which is the one Li Hongzhang won. Below that is the Senior Officer level, below that is the Commander level, below that is the Member level, and the lowest fifth level is the Medal level.

And now, the medal that Boss Cha pinned on Allen's chest himself is the commander level, abbreviated as (LVO). This means that Allen, as a representative of the royal family, has made outstanding contributions by leading the team to participate in world competitions.

Although Alan has been slacking off, that's how he got the medals. Boss Cha has arranged everything for him. If he performs well in the future, he will slowly move up, or get other medals. Sooner or later, his left chest will be full of medals.

"Calm down and do your best!"

Boss Cha turned his back to the Queen with a smile on his face. After Alan stood up straight, he patted him on the shoulder and said something encouraging. After Alan bowed again, the entire awarding ceremony was completed.
