"Alan, let me ask you, did you go on vacation some time ago and find a woman?"

“…”

Spencer is such a bastard, he has no sense of confidentiality at all!

When Diana asked this, Allen knew who had leaked the news. It was no one else but Spencer!

"I…I went to France for a few days with Spencer."

"snort!"

Diana looked Allen up and down, stroked the poodle and raised her eyebrows and said, "As a normal man, you still know how to find a woman. So, tell me...if you get married, will you leave your wife alone for a few years?"

“…”

This question was so embarrassing. Alan didn't expect Diana to say that.

It's normal for men to like beautiful women. It's just a normal need. However, given our identities, it's a bit embarrassing to talk about this now.

Alan forced a dry laugh and said, "How could that be? If I could resist touching her for a few years, why would I marry her?"

"Heh... He can. It's not that he can't help it, he just doesn't want to be with me... We no longer have feelings for each other, he doesn't lack someone to accompany him, I'm just a tool for him, a tool for having children!"

"Woof!"

For some reason, Diana's voice was a little high-pitched, so much so that the poodle on her lap also barked as soon as she finished speaking.

“…”

Sighing, Allen said irritably, "The last time we talked, I remember I told you that you should each live your own lives now. Isn't it good for you to treat your current identity as a career? Why do you have to make a fuss? If you make a big fuss, it will be bad for everyone."

"Is it me who is causing the trouble? Even you think it's me who is causing the trouble?"

Diana's eyes turned red, her voice became louder, and she looked at Alan in disbelief.

…

If you didn't make this mistake, then was it me?

Allen looked at Diana in silence. Sometimes women are unreasonable. Really...

He had nothing to say.

Alan grabbed the cigarette box on the table with some annoyance, lit a cigarette, and looked out the window with melancholy.

“Alan!”

Seeing that Alan was silent, Diana said with red eyes: "Do you remember my bodyguard? You have seen him, Barry Mannakee, do you remember him?"

Allen smoked a cigarette, and the image of a blond boy flashed through his mind. He was a little shorter than himself, but he was quite good-looking. However, that guy, hehe...

Seeing the mockery on Allen's face, Diana became even angrier and gritted her teeth and said, "Barry died in a car accident. I didn't even see him when he died. Did you know that? You must know that his car accident was not normal!"

Alan narrowed his eyes suddenly, glanced at Diana and said calmly: "A car accident is an accident, it's normal, it's his fate!"

As a bodyguard, if you don't do your job well and instead seduce your employer, if you don't get into a car accident, who will?

"No! No, if Barry was in an accident, what about last year...last year...No, Alan, you know, what about your father Kano and your older brother? They were also in car accidents. You know what's going on here, right? You said we should live well, but I can't!"

“That’s enough!”

Alan slammed the table hard, scaring Diana. Diana, who had just been angry, suddenly felt very strange when she looked at Alan's eyes.

"Aunt, there are some things that cannot be said casually. I said they were all in car accidents. It was an accident. This is an accident, an accident! Accident, do you understand?"

An accident is an accident. Even if everyone knows what happened, as long as it is a car accident related to the royal family, everyone knows that it is not an accident. But so what?

Do you still want to fight to the death?

What happens when the fish is dead and the net is broken?

The past is past. What should the living people do if they keep bringing up the past?

Not over it?

…

“Alan…”

Diana looked at Alan with some disappointment and shook her head.

"You used to be very brave. Although you have always been introverted, you are very brave. The outside world has always evaluated you this way. You are a knight, and you shouldn't be like this, like an ostrich. I just want everyone in the outside world to know their true faces and let everyone know these inside stories! I want to destroy them! I really can't stand it, Alan, can you understand? Can you understand my difficulties? Can you? I just want to live an ordinary life, an ordinary person!"

This time, Alan listened quietly to Diana venting without saying a word, just looking at her coldly. The little poodle on her lap felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing, especially the man who was smoking. His aura was very cold, which made the little poodle lean back in fear and whimpered softly.

…

"Ordinary person? What qualifications do you have to say you are an ordinary person? Is it just because those shitty media in the outside world regard you as a commoner princess? Haha..."

Allen stared at the table and sneered, "One of your pieces of jewelry costs tens of thousands of pounds, hundreds of thousands of pounds, or even millions of pounds. Is this for ordinary civilians? Do you know what these things mean to ordinary civilians?"

"They get paid a few hundred pounds a month, some get a few thousand pounds. What can they do with this money? Even with this little money, they still have to pay taxes! In order to have more rest time, they have to hold signs and march, serve as news material for those shitty media, and create jobs for media reporters. This is the common people! Think about it... Is the money they earn enough for you to have a beauty treatment? Don't forget, you are also a noble! Your last name is Windsor now, but your last name was Spencer before. Your father is an earl. You are a noble, not a commoner!"

…

Ellen became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She felt that Diana was sometimes insane and unable to recognize reality. She had become arrogant after being praised by the media.

"You still want to destroy him now. As a member of the nobility, no one has taught you since childhood to be united? We are from the same class! Class! Do you understand? The royal family is from the same class as us! They are also the largest nobility! You want to destroy them, then what about the rest of the nobility? Have you thought about it?"

"Do you think that you are happy because the common people are happy because the royal family's reputation has been hit by you? Have you ever thought about how other nobles will look at you after the royal family's reputation has been hit? Do you know how many nobles we still have? Let me tell you, there are still six or seven hundred families in the whole of Britain, from dukes to barons, not counting those lords. What you did will cause you to provoke these six or seven hundred hereditary noble families. Do you understand?"

Think about this number. It seems to be only a few hundred, but what if there are just these families hiding in the dark, like Allen, who can directly or indirectly control an area?

Just think about how huge this force is?

Alan felt horrified just thinking about it, but Diana actually wanted to make an enemy of a group like them!

What's this?

This is what ignorance is all about!

…

"I... no one taught me since I was a child. My parents divorced very early. No one taught me. I only speak of the royal family. What does it have to do with other nobles?!"

Diana's temper dropped a little after being criticized by Allen. She spoke in a somewhat lonely tone as if muttering to herself.

"Humph... Without the royal family, why do you think other nobles can still exist? Do you think all places can be like Italy, without a royal family, but still have nobles? Without the royal family, what is the meaning of nobles?"

Diana didn't know how to refute Allen's question. She was not stupid, but sometimes she didn't think so deeply. To put it nicely, she was straightforward. To put it bluntly, she had low emotional intelligence and no brains.

After putting out the cigarette, Alan calmed down. He was not angry, but he was just annoyed by Diana's sometimes inexplicable thoughts.

"You should have seen Spencer recently, right? Did he tell you that I gave him some money recently?"

"Yes."

"snort!"

…

Although the Spencer family's ancestors bought the title, their bloodline is widely spread. For example, Qiu Zhongtang, who is very famous to the outside world, is theoretically also a descendant of the Spencer family. Their bloodline has also spread to North America. Well... a certain political family also has their bloodline.

But it was useless to say all this. No matter how powerful the family was, the main branch now only had their old earl father who was bedridden and dying, and the four siblings.

Spencer was the only male.

…

"Do you think your brother...will be able to keep the money and assets of your family without his noble status? If he loses his title, those politicians will join forces with the Americans and eat him up completely."

Alan looked at Diana coldly.

This question made Diana silent for a long time. She admitted... With Spencer's character and talent, if he lost his title, he would not be able to keep tens of thousands of pounds, let alone hundreds of millions of assets. As for people like Allen, it was the same. Think about what their family did before. If they lost their titles, it would be difficult for them to survive...

When I thought of these things, and then thought about those hundreds of families, if they all turned their spearheads against me because of me, even someone with a personality like Diana would feel a little scared when she thought of this.

I took a deep breath…Although I was aware of my problem, I was still a woman.

Recognizing the problem does not mean changing. If she could change, she would not be Diana.

"Then tell me, what should I do?"

Diana kicked the ball to Alan again.

…

"What should I do? You ask me? Now it's not about what you should do, but what you want to do?! Think about your own identity. I told you a long time ago that you should treat this as a job and clock in every day. Is this difficult? Why do you have to test their bottom line again and again?"

"They forced me first!"

“…”

Alan stood up. He didn't want to say anything more. This is how the world is. When it's time to bow your head, you have to bow your head. If you don't, someone will chop off your head. And if you have to bow your head, you have to recognize yourself, not anything else. Having said so far, he has done his best.

Everyone should live their own life, and as long as no one breaks the last layer of window paper, it will be fine as long as a calm situation is maintained. Although this will not get you some nominal things, but as long as you are not short of money, this is much better than most civilians who live a miserable life!

Instead of having to fight and do things that seem fearless, but are actually no different from a moth flying into a flame.

Before leaving, Alan paused, without looking back, and said in a low voice: "Aunt... we are blood relatives. I will take good care of William and Harry. Think about your children. You are no longer a child. You are an adult. You must be responsible for your own actions and for your children. Don't leave your fate to others. You still control your own destiny. I hope you can seize this opportunity and maintain the last bit of dignity. They only need this bit of dignity."

After saying this, Alan walked away without stopping, leaving Diana alone, holding her little poodle and sitting there in a daze, muttering, "Decent...ha...decent."

…

Monday, February 10, 1992.

Kempard Bay, Mumbai Port.

Of course, the current Mumbai has not changed its name. They are still using the name given to them by the British. The name Mumbai will not be changed until later, but Alan has gotten used to it, so he will just call them Mumbai for now.

Near the port, the entire Mumbai Port is extremely busy. It is the largest and busiest port in India.

Looking at those small passenger ships with extremely short hulls, a bit like big-bellied ships, with densely packed passengers standing on them, Alan suddenly thought of the Enoki mushrooms.

This is a very Indian way of transport. It is a bit like buying bundles of enoki mushrooms from a supermarket. After they become mouldy and black, you cut them directly from the root with a knife. Then put the handful of mushrooms on the can lid, and then put the lid in a basin of water. As the lid is shaken, the mouldy mushrooms stick together and shake along with it, just like what he is seeing now.

These big-bellied boats were swaying, as if they would capsize at any moment. However, the Indians on the boats looked at the navy blue Britannic with gold edges, and some of them glanced at it indifferently and stopped looking in this direction.

Some people were still waving and cheering at the ship. Alan even saw some Indians kneeling on the boat and worshiping towards this side through the telescope. There were people next to them pointing at these people, some laughing at them, and some keeping silent.

Next to Allen, Boss Cha, who was also holding a telescope, saw this scene and curled his lips. He smiled and said, "More than a decade ago, when I came here, it was even more exaggerated than this. Now... Hum, Indians are thinking more and more."

Alan had no contact with Indians. He didn't even know any Indian friends and looked down on them. Anyway...

What can I say about these Indians? Let’s not talk about those at the lower level, they are just trying to survive. What happens at the upper level has nothing to do with them. But the thoughts of the Indians at the upper level are very interesting.

Before coming here, Alan read some information. During the voyage on the sea these days, he also read some information to summarize the current Indians.

They are actually quite arrogant!

They think they are the masters of the entire South Asia, a bit like the leader of the martial arts world. Even though there is a thorn in the side, Pakistan, in the northwest, Indians still think this way.

In addition, they were spoiled by the two bosses in the past, which further encouraged these ideas.

but……

With the disappearance of a big boss at the end of last year, Indians panicked. The big mountain that they relied on was gone, they lost their aid, and their economy suffered a great blow.
