He did not come alone this time. Although Prince Edward did not come with him, but came here by himself a few days in advance, Alan came with the delegation. He also brought a gift for Gustav. He was called away by this person as soon as he got off the plane. What a thing.
"Let's get in the car and talk about it?"
Victoria looked at Alan with a smile, and seemed satisfied no matter how she looked at him.
Due to her small social circle, she had no impression of Alan in the past.
But in July, when Alan came to Sweden, she was stunned when she first saw him.
A person like this who has status, is handsome, wealthy, and has strong personal abilities in all aspects, isn't he the legendary Prince Charming?
As a woman who is destined to be a queen in the future, she must have a husband who is worthy of her, right?
Now, such a prince charming appeared in front of her. Is this a coincidence? Or is it God's will?
Ever since Allen left, Victoria had been pestering her mother, asking around, and had learned more about Allen. He was only 25 years old this year, had outstanding abilities, was very brave, and had few relatives in his family. He inherited his father's title at such a young age, and even in the British aristocratic circle, he was definitely an upper-class elite.
Moreover, he is a eunuch of the British royal family, with a strong backer. According to rumors... he has a bad temper, but in Victoria's view, that is not a problem at all. This is called manliness!
As for scandals, there has never been any, and it is said that she has some connection with the European Women's Association. Her character and reputation are excellent.
This made Victoria even more attracted to Allen.
The legal age for marriage in Sweden is 18. Victoria is now over 16. According to her plan, she will get to know Allen for a while, get engaged next year, and then get married directly when she becomes an adult. With Allen as her helper, won't she, the queen, be even more powerful?
As for whether Alan was willing... she had never thought about it. She was extremely confident in herself!
So, as soon as she heard that Alan was coming again, Victoria took her brother and went to pick up Alan in person. Her idea was to communicate more with Alan first and cultivate feelings.
Of course, you can't say this directly.
…
"Ahahaha, I won't take the car. I have to go back to the hotel to accommodate them and discuss some matters concerning the celebration with the reception staff."
Alan smiled and refused. He really didn't want to have anything to do with Victoria. He didn't have the time!
The key is that I have important things to do.
"My father wants to host a banquet for you tonight. He said he has something to discuss with you. Why don't you come?"
Victoria lifted her hair as if she was very charming, and continued to invite Alan with some hopelessness.
"Um?"
Alan looked at the Crown Princess and then at Bertil. The atmosphere was a bit weird, but if Gustav invited him, why didn't he tell him in advance and let his eldest daughter, whom he didn't like very much, invite him?
What happened?
Alan is still very concerned about recruiting people, as it is related to his plan to make money.
"Okay, then I'll explain a few things. Wait a moment."
Alan nodded to Victoria, turned around and called a secretary, and whispered a few words to her.
…
Victoria became more and more satisfied as she watched Alan working seriously. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and what's more, this guy was so handsome, which made him even more attractive.
When Alan came to Victoria again, Victoria was a little dazed.
"Why don't you get in the car first, Your Highness? Please get in... Ladies first."
Alan smiled and asked Victoria to get in the car first. Since he had something to do, he would go and see Gustav first to see what he wanted to say.
It was nothing at first, but as Allen said this, Victoria's smile faded slightly, and she said in a somewhat didactic tone: "Didn't you say you respect women? You let the lady get on the bus first. Is that discrimination against women?"
"???"
Alan had one hand on the car door handle and suddenly turned his head to look at Victoria.
He knew that the child was sixteen years old. He was not very tall, but he had a strong build.
Such a woman who, in Allen's eyes, is very manly actually said this in front of him?
Is giving women first discriminating against women? What kind of bullshit logic is this?
Although Alan knew some small boxing masters, this was the first time he saw someone dare to fight like this in front of him!
“You call ladies first discrimination?”
"Isn't it? We in Sweden take this kind of thing very seriously. Even if it's a leave for childbirth, both men and women have to take the leave. And it can't be called maternity leave, but childbirth leave. Both husband and wife are treated the same. You are the leader of the expedition team, don't you know this?"
"Oh……"
Alan was almost laughing out of anger. I showed you my gentlemanly manners, and you said I discriminated against women. This...
Go and have fun by yourself.
He didn't even have the mood to explain. At this moment, in his mind, Victoria had been labeled a psychopath. Alan didn't want to waste his time on such a naughty child.
"Betil, come and get in a car with me."
Alan hooked his finger at Bertil in the distance, then glanced at Victoria who was folding her arms beside him and said, "You go sit in the car behind."
"How can you be like this!"
Victoria looked at Allen with anger on her face. She just subconsciously made a few excuses. This was normal to her. She was going to be the queen in the future. Allen had some incorrect perceptions, so she wanted to help him correct them. Why did she get angry after hearing just one sentence?
How stingy and ungraceful!
"Don't make me say it again. If it weren't for Gustav, I would hang you on that terminal building over there for what you said today."
Alan glanced at Victoria's neck with a gloomy face, then pointed to the airport terminal in the distance.
His eyes were cold and his aura was extremely strong. It burst out suddenly, scaring Victoria so much that she took two steps back in an instant. Her face turned pale and she dared not say another word.
After waiting for a few seconds, Victoria felt humiliated again when she thought that she was actually taught a lesson by Allen in front of her brother. She squinted her eyes and secretly looked up and glared at Allen, then turned and went to the back car.
…
"Alan, you are so amazing. I usually don't dare to do this to her."
On the car back to the palace, Bertil sat next to Alan, looking at him with some fear and admiration.
"Is that a tumor growing in your crotch? Humph."
Alan took a look at the useless guy and snorted coldly.
This extremely rude curse made the ignorant Betil's face turn red. The excitement that had just risen up in his heart disappeared in an instant and turned into shame.
This is too harsh to hear. What is a tumor? A tumor that big?
But what Alan said was the truth and he didn't dare to refute it. However, the little boy also had to save face and explain what needed to be explained.
"I...I...I have been bullied by her since I was a child. If I spoke louder, she would beat me. She used to be taller and stronger than me, and I couldn't beat her."
"So, you are a waste, and your life is a waste of food. If the prince of Great Britain were like you, he would be laughed at and would never dare to go out again."
Allen continued to play tricks on Bertil. Although Boss Cha was also cowardly when he was a child, that was due to physical reasons and the different growing environment. He was weak physically. Although he had also been bullied, Boss Cha was stubborn. Even if he was beaten, he would not go back to the queen to cry or complain, but would shed tears alone.
In Allen's opinion, such behavior was not much better than Bertil's. However, after Cha was sent to that school by Prince Philip himself, he made great progress. As he grew up, he became very vengeful. All the people or families who had offended him were more or less troubled by him. This was considered a revenge.
But Bertil is too weak. No wonder his throne was robbed. He has been bullied since he was a child and dared not even resist. If it were Allen, he would beat Victoria three times a day. After all, they are all children. What's the big deal if they have a dispute or a fight?
Even if you can't beat her, you have to fight her, and you have to take the initiative to fight her every day until she is scared. Only then it's over.
Moreover, boys and girls develop at different times. Although girls develop earlier when they are young, Bertil is already fourteen years old and is almost taller than Victoria. Even so, he doesn't dare to resist. He is really useless.
If you are born in such a family, don’t talk about sibling love. What kind of family love can they have?
…
“…”
After being insulted so sharply by Alan, Bertil's face turned pale, feeling ashamed and angry, but he did not dare to refute, so he could only lower his head and sulk.
Alan turned his head and looked at Bertil's arrogant look. He no longer had any hope for this kid. When a person loses his courage, it means that he is rotten to the core and there is no hope for him.
Victoria has left a shadow in his heart, and he probably won't be able to get rid of it for the rest of his life.
…
"What's wrong Alan? Are you unhappy? What happened on the way?"
When Alan saw Gustav in the study, all his emotions were shown on his face. Alan didn't need to hide anything in front of him. He just acted the way he wanted.
"Heh... I didn't expect that His Majesty would be so dissatisfied with me that he specially arranged for your daughter to teach me."
Alan spoke with anger and sarcasm towards Gustav.
"This...Victoria and you have a conflict?"
Gustav looked surprised. He clearly asked Bertil to pick up Allen. What does this have to do with Victoria?
Alan repeated to Gustav what happened between him and Victoria at the airport. Gustav raised his eyebrows and he seemed to understand.
He glanced at Allen with a strange expression. He had known about Victoria and his wife some time ago. They had been secretly doing things behind his back, asking about this and that, and Allen's name had been vaguely heard. He didn't take it seriously at the time, but now it seemed that his daughter had set her sights on Allen?
It would be great if Allen could be his son-in-law. Gustav looked at Allen again with the eyes of an old father-in-law. This son-in-law is definitely qualified. However, his eldest daughter, who has always been strong, treats Allen in a way that is a little wrong.
If you went up to her weakly and delicately, she might be able to say a few words, but she approached Allen so forcefully, and with Allen's temper... the only reason she didn't get beaten was because Allen held back his temper!
"She's still young, don't bother with her, hey..."
At this point, Gustav felt a bit of a headache. Because of this matter, he had wanted to talk to Allen today, but now Victoria had interfered and Allen was already angry. How could he talk about this matter?
…
Gustav personally took out the wine glass, poured two glasses of rum, held one glass in each hand, walked over to Alan and handed him a glass, saying, "I know this is the tradition of your British Navy. You like to drink rum. This wine was one of the gifts the Queen gave me before I got married. You can try it."
"Thanks."
Alan took the wine glass and subconsciously smelled it. It tasted quite authentic.
Alan quite likes rum. After all, it is a military supply of the British Navy and has a tradition of hundreds of years. All sailors like it. It is strong and can make you forget all your worries after drinking it. When at sea, if you drink too much and fall asleep, you won't be able to hear the explosion of the ship outside.
"I heard you have something to talk to me about? Is it about recruiting workers?"
After taking a sip of rum, Alan put down his glass, but he had not forgotten the business. He complained about his daughter to let him know that he hated this. But no matter how angry he was, he could not forget the business.
"Why……"
Gustav sighed again, feeling a little annoyed and even more unlucky.
"Your matter was originally going smoothly, but there were some minor troubles recently, which affected the progress a little."
"Tell me in detail what problem you encountered. Can I help you?"
"Well……"
Gustav frowned, organized his words a little, and said, "This matter has not been fully exposed yet. My people told me privately, and it is related to your British media."
"?"
Alan raised his head and looked at Gustav quietly, waiting for his next words.
“Have you ever heard of Domingo?”
"The one who sings in Spain?"
When Alan heard the name, he had a vague impression of it, but he was not very interested in the idea of a male singer, especially a soprano singer.
"Yes, it's him. He has been involved with an organization recently and has been involved in some things. This incident has affected our plan."
"Um……"
"Well... how should I put it? It is said that there is a transnational organization in Argentina that has involvement in Europe and South America. They have opened many yoga gyms and recruited young women as members. Then, among these members, they find some with poor family conditions, and then threaten and control them, take them to the United States to do business, and then bring them back to Argentina. I... I was recruiting people for you a few days ago, and it happened to involve a yoga gym."
“…”
Alan was overwhelmed. What was going on? How could this be related to someone else?
Gustav said a little embarrassedly, "As you know, now is the application period for Sweden to join the European Community. The government attaches great importance to this matter. As soon as they heard the news a few days ago, they thoroughly checked all yoga studios in Sweden, even places where many young women gathered. Now this period... just happened to catch up with us."
"You mean, I waited for two months and your plan fell through?"
Alan was speechless about Gustav. He came here happily to ask for someone, but now he wanted him to go back empty-handed?
"No, no, no... Allen, don't worry, listen to me, I have made a backup plan."
