He just vaguely heard Alan's name, so his attention was immediately drawn to it, and he came over with his sister to ask questions.
The truth is that Alan has recently gained some fame among the upper class in London. When he came here early in the morning and chatted with several aristocratic children, he heard the name Alan frequently.
This guy was in London a few days ago, blocking the door of a noble descendant's house, wanting to duel with him, and then...
Then, in broad daylight, he stabbed the descendant of the nobility to death.
You have to know that it has been many years since Britain has had such an open duel, let alone a cold weapon duel.
Ever since the news came a few days ago, this has been the most talked about topic among the British nobility, especially among the younger nobles.
For young people, just hearing this kind of news among the nobility makes their blood boil.
This is a cold weapon!
It is said that the young earl was extremely arrogant and domineering. When he was in Wales, he was also known as the Welsh Bully. In this duel, according to people familiar with the matter, the two sides only fought with one move, and the young earl stabbed the other to death as soon as they faced each other.
This level of bravery is something to be envious of.
If someone was killed with a firearm, fewer people would care. After all, who doesn't know how to use a gun?
But the duel between cold weapons is very interesting to think about, but it comes with great risks!
In addition to the young nobles talking about it, the older generation of nobles also talked about it.
But what they were talking about was not how brave Allen was.
But his behavior is equivalent to setting a bad precedent!
How many years has it been since such a duel happened?
Now a young man suddenly jumped out and found an old man. He blocked the old man's door and challenged him to a duel, even though his reason was that his personal honor was insulted by the other party.
But you've already blocked his doorstep, isn't this excuse a bit far-fetched?
It's fine if it's a duel, but the killing is so clean and efficient, this...
In addition to Alan’s original identity, he is Boss Cha’s chief guard!
Faced with such a madman, some of the nobles who had previously been at odds with Boss Cha were somewhat frightened.
What if Boss Cha wants to cause trouble for them in the future and sends this guy to challenge them, then...
what to do?
…
Don’t answer?
If they don't accept the answer, it will be a big problem. Personal life and death are minor issues. If the family reputation is ruined because of one person's cowardice, how will they face their ancestors after they die?
catch?
It would be even more doomed if they answered the call. They might end up like Andrew, who was stabbed to death the first time he met her.
The older generation, especially the old nobles who had extremely bad relations with Boss Cha, felt a headache when they thought about the bad consequences of such things.
and……
This duel was full of weirdness. The identity of the wife of Andrew, who was killed, was not simple. She was Karami. The whole Britain, or even ordinary people in the world now know that she was the lover of Boss Cha.
But that Allen just killed Andrew.
This is really hard to understand.
And after he killed the man, he was punished by the queen on the same day.
This is rare in the past!
In the past, when a noble committed a crime, he would first be taken away by people from the Department of Noble Affairs and questioned. The process was long and tedious. Although nothing would happen in the end, it was still troublesome!
But this time it was different. After Allen killed someone in London, the Queen ordered him to be expelled that night.
There was not even house arrest, just a simple expulsion.
Where does the Queen stand on this matter?
In other words, does she have anything to do with this matter?
Thinking about these things, this matter becomes even more intriguing and difficult to understand.
The Prince of Jordan had been hearing about Allen's name for a long time, and now this "awesome guy" actually came to attend the funeral. He couldn't wait to meet him first and make friends with him!
He likes to make friends with brave, arrogant and domineering British aristocrats!
…
Spencer frowned and looked at the Jordanian prince who was speaking. He thought about it and didn't answer. He just nodded and turned his head slightly, motioning him to go with him to greet him.
Although the other party was a prince, Spencer didn't take him seriously at all.
A Jordanian prince...
In the top aristocratic circle of Britain, he is not as important as a baron. It's just a slightly bigger title. Otherwise, why would he care so much about Allen?
…
Following in Spencer's footsteps, Prince Jordan soon saw his goal.
really!
Although there were more than ten people getting off the helicopter, he still spotted Mr. Allen in the crowd at a glance!
He is not the strongest or the tallest among the group of people, but when he stands inside, you will unconsciously focus your eyes on him. He is like the focus, firmly attracting the attention of the Jordanian prince.
He had an extremely sturdy figure, a slim-fit black suit, and his golden hair was a little out of shape due to the wind and waves caused by the helicopter propellers, but this slight dishevelled look could not completely conceal his superior temperament.
Then, the Prince of Jordan discovered that behind Alan was a woman with the same long brown hair, who looked like an Arab.
This discovery made the Prince of Jordan secretly happy. This should be Allen's secretary, right?
He actually uses an Arab as a secretary?
This...won't it be a better way to start the conversation later?
Thinking of this, Prince Jordan no longer cared about Spencer beside him. He took a few quick steps and took the initiative to greet Allen.
"Hello, Mr. Allen. I am Abdullah bin Hussein from Jordan. I have heard of your name for a long time, but I didn't expect that we would meet here for the first time."
…
"???"
Alan looked at an Arab-looking young man standing next to Spencer and thought that this was Spencer's new bodyguard.
Who knows, this one doesn't look like it?
"Alan... I know this one."
Yasin Rania, who was following behind Allen, held the hem of her dress with her left hand and protected her messy hair with her right hand. After hearing the introduction of the person in front of her, she was a little stunned. After taking a closer look, she came to Allen and whispered the identity of this person.
"Oh? He's the prince of your country?"
Alan's eyes flickered after hearing the introduction. He knew that Yassine Rania was Jordanian. He had a very pleasant time with her these past few days. Yassine Rania had the shyness that is unique to Arab women. Her shyness also had a bit of intellectual beauty. In short, her temperament was very strange.
When Alan didn't communicate and study with her every night, he always felt like he was harming a decent woman.
But she didn't expect that today, in such an occasion, she would actually meet someone from their country, and a prince at that?
but……
I don't know him, what does he want to see me for? Or what is his purpose?
…
"Hello……"
Alan walked up to the young man named Hussein with no smile on his face. Today's occasion had to be solemn, and even outside, he couldn't smile, so... Alan now seemed a little distant.
But Prince Hussein didn't mind at all. He grabbed Allen's hands with both hands and shook them. Then he pretended to have just noticed something and glanced at the woman who was suspected to be his secretary following behind Allen.
Just now, he was a little far away, and his long hair was blown by the wind, so he couldn't see his face clearly. Now that he was closer and took a closer look, Hussein realized...
This secretary general is quite beautiful!
She is not as glamorous as a star, but she has a very unique temperament, with maternal beauty mixed with a bit of intellectual beauty. At first sight, the feeling of a good wife and mother comes to him.
Somehow, the moment Prince Hussein saw this woman, his heart was moved!
"Mr. Allen... Is this your...?"
Although he was somewhat tempted, since he was following Allen after all, Hussein decided to follow the established plan and start with the secretary's identity to build relationships.
…
"Oh... let me introduce you. This is Yassine Rania, also Jordanian, currently working at Harrods. I recently acquired this department store, so I asked Yassine Rania, who is more familiar with the company's business, to stay with me and help me explain the company's specific affairs. She is considered an assistant secretary."
As Alan spoke, he slightly leaned over and helped introduce himself as the young tour guide.
"Oh? What a coincidence, Ms. Yassin is also from Jordan?"
Prince Hussein looked surprised, not only because he was surprised that the other party was a compatriot, but also because this person looked like an ordinary clerk who was only temporarily with Alan to talk about company matters.
As for whether she will have anything to do with Allen?
Prince Hussein didn't think much about this. Based on his understanding of Allen, what kind of star had he not seen as a nobleman like him?
How could he fall for such an "ordinary girl"?
…
But putting aside the emotional issues, Prince Hussein smiled and nodded to Yassin Rania, then briefly and clearly introduced himself to Alan, took out a business card and said very formally: "I'm really sorry, I shouldn't say this on this occasion, but this is my first time meeting Mr. Alan, and I'm very happy. This is my business card. After the funeral, can I treat you to a banquet?"
"Hmm..." Alan narrowed his eyes, recalling the way the prince looked at the little tour guide behind him. It was quite interesting...
However, now is not the time to talk about these things. After accepting the business card, Allen patted Hussein on the shoulder and said, "Okay, we'll talk after the funeral."
…
Spencer watched as the Jordanian prince went up to talk to Allen before him, but he was not annoyed. Instead, he hoped that the Jordanian prince could lead Allen away.
But the cruel reality shattered his dream. Alan didn't say much to the Jordanian prince. He just greeted him briefly, took the business card, and turned his head to look at him. The two looked at each other, and Spencer was extremely embarrassed.
"Alan...you're here."
“…”
What the fuck is that expression on your face?
Alan was too lazy to pay attention to Spencer. He patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "If there is something at home that you can't handle, you have to tell me. Of course... If you don't want to trouble me, you can also rely on yourself. William, Harry, come here!"
…
Great Brinton Church.
At the very front left, in a very exquisite small fence that looked like a podium, Spencer was holding a draft and reading a eulogy with a sad face.
The late Earl Spencer was lying in a black coffin, which was placed in the middle of the front of the church. The coffin was covered with the flag of their Spencer family, and there were three bouquets of flowers on the flag. A long, thick white candle was inserted in the middle of the bouquet, and the flame of the candle had been lit.
Several clergymen stood quietly by, staring at the old earl's coffin with calm expressions.
Alan sat very straight, but his mind was not here at all.
For example, in Britain, if it is a big family, especially aristocrats, funerals are usually held in the church in the morning.
This thing is equivalent to a mourning hall.
In this situation, out of courtesy, everyone who was invited, no matter how good or bad the relationship was, had to participate in the farewell ceremony for the old earl.
This is the first half of the funeral. There are many guests and they can fill the entire church.
The remaining second half is the burial ceremony which can only be attended by the deceased's relatives, friends and people with whom he or she has a close relationship.
In this session, many people who participated in the first half are no longer able to participate.
For example...the Jordanian prince whom Alan just met, he only needs to attend the first half, and he doesn't need to attend the rest.
Everyone has different beliefs, and it is already good enough that they can come and participate in the first half.
Squinting his eyes, Alan glanced at the few long-nosed white men sitting in the row in front of him. Just before the ceremony began, he heard these people speaking, and it seemed that they were speaking French.
This made Alan feel a little strange.
Although he knew that Diana liked to visit France in the past, and that their Spencer family had some connections with the French nobles, he did not expect that so many French nobles would come to the old earl's funeral!
…
For a long time, many people have overlooked the fact that there are still aristocrats in France!
And their aristocratic family has a very long history!
However, in modern times, there are not many French aristocrats who appear in public.
Moreover, many ordinary people have the illusion that France has experienced so many revolutions, so how can there be any aristocrats?
Revolution is revolution, but what it changes is the system of the upper class. What does it have to do with the aristocracy?
As far as Alan knew, the French nobles were even more low-key than the British nobles. They lived together in fixed areas and had an extremely strict hierarchy.
Moreover, French nobles rarely intermarry with nobles from other countries; they only intermarry among themselves.
What's more strict is that each noble has a different rank and circle. For example, their viscounts will never mingle in the earl's circle, because the earl looks down on them!
In Britain, some knights could marry into baronies or even other aristocratic families, which was simply unimaginable in the French aristocratic circle.
They are a group of remaining nobles, but they are definitely not pedantic and are extremely low-key.
They are so low-key that even though their number is nearly 100,000, many people outside don’t even know they exist.
…
Alan stared at the French nobles and suddenly thought, could he get in touch with them?
My new home is almost built, so... I have to put some cultural relics in the house to decorate it, right?
And these French nobles have a lot of valuable stuff in their hands!
These families of theirs have a history of hundreds of years, and some can even be traced back to the 10th century. With such a long family history, if we can dig out some special cultural relics from their homes, and put them in our homes, wouldn't it be very face-saving when friends come to visit?
