Following Count Custer, while visiting and chatting, Alan also made some new friends.

There are so many dignitaries in the hall on the first floor of the palace now. With all this knowledge, Alan seems to understand why Boss Cha did not come to participate in the 20th anniversary celebration of Gustav's accession to the throne.

Among all the nobles present, there was not a single heavyweight.

Don’t be fooled by the large number of people. There are earls, marquises, even impoverished dukes, princes and princesses.

But as for these old, weak and disabled people, it’s not that Alan is arrogant, even he now looks down on these people.

For some people, it is questionable whether the titles they hold are legal or not, and it is unknown how many years since their countries have been in ruins.

It's not so bad for the French nobles, as they are allowed to keep their clothes by law, but some countries could have washed them clean...

If a noble father dies and it is the turn of his son or daughter to succeed to the throne, there should at least be a minimum succession ceremony, right?

Just like what Allen did in the beginning, he had to check with his boss first, hold a loyalty ceremony, and clarify the subordinate relationship, where his noble identity came from, who he should be loyal to now, and so on.

After going through this set of procedures, one’s identity will be legal and compliant, and one’s backing will also be clear.

Alan's title is special in itself and he is close to the royal family. He had few people to compare himself with before. Even compared with the nobles in Great Britain, he was slightly superior. But because he had little money before and his family's fiefdom was in a remote location, even if Alan didn't say it occasionally, he would not refute some people who secretly said that he was a Welsh bumpkin.

Wales is a rural country. Even the capital, Cardiff, is just a larger county town in people's eyes. As for other cities in Wales... they are even more like towns and villages.

But today's occasion was the first time that Allen had seen so many nobles.

Compared with them, Alan felt a sense of superiority.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these people are dressed in bright and beautiful clothes and look like decent people. Some of them are actually wild people.

Just like the Russian nobles left over from the Tsarist era, these people...

Who do they pledge allegiance to now? Are their identities still legal?

The Tsar had shot those people a long time ago. They never went to avenge the monarch they were loyal to. Now in peacetime, they jumped out.

There are also the nobles in France and Italy, who are usually very low-key, but now when they encounter such social occasions, all kinds of monsters emerge.

but……

Alan listened to their conversation silently. Most of them were about business and economic conditions, which made him feel more comfortable.

It is not terrible for a person to be unlucky. What is terrible is that everyone else is lucky but he is the only one who is unlucky.

It's pretty good now. Although there were some minor mistakes in recruiting employees, other people are not doing well either. This is because the overall environment is bad, not because Alan is not working hard. With so many people supporting him, Alan feels much more balanced.

…

"Alan, why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time."

Alan, who was resting and chatting with Count Custer in the corner, was suddenly attracted by a call. The voice arrived before the person arrived.

The two people who came were of similar age, both were young and tall male nobles, and both were dressed in military uniforms.

The one who was speaking was the second prince of Denmark, Christian, who had gone hunting with Alan some time ago, and the one following behind him...

Alan blinked. This guy looked familiar and quite handsome. Of course, he was not as good-looking as himself, but this guy had a rather gloomy temperament, which made Alan feel good about him. He liked people with a resentful look on their faces, as it meant that this person had a story, which he could stir up.

…

"Let me introduce you. This is my eldest brother, Frederick. This is Alan, my good brother."

Christian took Alan by the hand and took the initiative to introduce him to them.

"Oh...it turns out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Hello, hello."

Alan extended his hand proactively, which was completely different from his attitude when he first met Count Custer.

"Haha, I've always heard from Christian that you're an interesting and brave person, but I was too busy recently and didn't have time to get to know you. Now that I'm here to attend my uncle's coronation ceremony, I just happen to have some time. Shall we have dinner together tonight?"

"Okay! No problem."

Alan agreed with a smile and was about to change the subject when Christian next to him pushed him. He spoke in a low voice, but it was just loud enough for Count Caster who was standing nearby watching the fun to hear.

"Come on, follow me upstairs. What are you doing in the hall? My mother is here too, so I'll introduce her to you."

“…”

Count Custer just watched helplessly as the two Danish princes came over and chatted with Alan for a few words before taking him away. The two men didn't even look at him the whole time.

Go upstairs...the people upstairs are all big shots, and people of his status are not worthy of their respect.

…

To be honest, Alan was a little panicked. It wasn't that he was afraid, but he was a little intimidated by Queen Margaret, whom he had never met.

He was afraid that it would be difficult to get along with people with such a carefree personality.

Moreover, the queen likes to meddle in other people's affairs. What if she acts like an ordinary old woman and starts talking about marriage and other matters after just a few words when meeting someone? What should I do then?

Just as he reached the second floor and passed the small reception room in the corridor, a little kid rushed out of the room and bumped into Alan.

The collision was so strong that the kid's entire face fell directly on Alan. When Alan looked up, Alan lowered his head in confusion and saw that the kid's face was red. Alan was just about to ask if he was okay, but the kid looked at Alan's appearance. He was short, and looking from below, Alan's expression looked very scary, and then...

"Wow……"

The crying of the little kid instantly spread ten meters away. Footsteps were heard in the living room, and a woman's voice followed.

"Phillips, what's wrong with you?"

"Phillips... er... Alan?"

When their eyes met, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Alan didn't expect to meet Christina here, his former blind date, later best friend, and the second princess of Spain.

"Christina, I didn't expect to see you here. Is this your...child?"

Alan frowned and stared at the naughty child who was sitting on the ground and crying.

He had been in intermittent correspondence with Christina, but he had never heard that she was married, let alone had children.

But now the situation...

"Sister...he hit me!"

Before Christina could explain, the little kid who was crying on the ground became braver when he heard Christina's voice. He stood up and hid behind Christina, then stuck his head out and pointed at Allen, turning the tables on him.

“…”

The two Danish princes next to them seemed to be watching something strange. They just folded their arms and stood aside slightly. They didn't help Alan to explain, and just watched the fun openly.

…

“Bang!”

Christina patted the kid lightly on the forehead and scolded him, "Why don't you call him? He's your godmother Diana's nephew. You should call him brother. He's also in Britain, living in Wales. Haven't you heard of him?"

The little brat was stunned by the slap and the words. He looked at Alan in a daze, then looked at Alan's face carefully with some uncertainty. After looking at it, he grinned, and he finally figured out who he had hit.

But this time... he was not pretending, he was really panicked. He had heard of Alan's reputation, and he was especially lethal to children.

Especially according to the description of his cousins ​​William and Harry, this man is simply a devil who eats people without leaving any bones. Now he actually provokes him?

"Wow!"

Thinking of this, the little kid's crying this time became even more sincere.

…

“…”

Alan stared blankly at the little brat who was crying, accusing others, and crying again. He was a little confused. Who is this?

“Alan…”

Christina half hugged the crying kid and explained a little embarrassedly, "This is... Prince Philip of Greece. His family lives in London and is usually very low-key. This time, His Majesty the King of Sweden held a celebration and also invited their family. His father didn't come, so he came instead. I'm responsible for taking care of him. Uh... I'm his cousin. By the way... don't bother with him. His godmother is your aunt."

After Christina's explanation, Alan finally understood who this little brat was. No wonder he was so arrogant and even dared to frame him.

This guy is the eldest son of the last king of Greece, named Philip.

Although their family was driven out of Greece, they could only live a low-key life and seek refuge in Britain.

But he has strong connections behind him. Not to mention the Greek royal family, just look at this little kid, he has a lot of godfathers and godmothers.

The more famous one is the current King of Spain, who is his godfather, and he calls the King of Spain "uncle".

And...the other godfather is also very powerful. Boss Cha’s father, Prince Philip, is his godfather.

The woman also has several godmothers, for example, Diana is his godmother.

Even though he is just a naughty kid of seven or eight years old, most people can't afford to mess with him because of his identities.

But...why did he start crying in the middle of framing himself?

Alan was a little confused about this and glanced at the naughty kid standing next to Christina.

The two looked at each other. The naughty boy cried out while covering his eyes with his hands, peeking at Alan's reaction through gaps between his fingers. Seeing that Alan was looking at him, he was so scared that he shivered and started crying even louder.

"Uh...you should comfort him. I just came up and didn't notice him. He came out of the room and bumped into me directly."

Hearing the crying, Alan felt a little annoyed. The kid was small but had a loud voice. The sound was too harsh and made Alan feel uncomfortable all over. If there weren't so many people around, he would have pinned the kid down and given him a beating.

"Okay, let's talk later, Phillips, come in with me."

Christina pressed the little boy's head awkwardly, and twisted him back to the small living room.

…

"Haha, I didn't expect Mr. Allen's reputation to be so effective? He was very noisy before you came."

After Christina closed the door of the small living room, Crown Prince Frederick walked up to Allen and teased him.

“…”

It turned out that he was a repeat offender. Now Alan completely understood why Princess Christina had to stay in a separate small reception room with this naughty child. This was really unwelcome.

"Let's go, I didn't even know him before."

Alan explained briefly and walked forward.

…

"Hello, Prince Henry. I didn't expect you to come this time?"

Walking into the innermost reception room on the second floor, there were fewer guests. As Alan followed the two Danish princes in, he saw a middle-aged man standing not far from the door with a wine glass in his hand and turning his head towards the side.

The man had a 4:6 cadre hairstyle and wore a dark grey tuxedo suit with several military medals pinned on it. His outfit was a bit strange.

Alan recognized the old guy at a glance and took the initiative to greet him.

"Who are you……"

"Father, this is Alan, Earl of Carmarthen of Great Britain, the Welsh one..."

Frederick walked up to Prince Henry and leaned down to whisper an introduction in his ear.

"Oh! I see. Hello, Alan. Why are you here just now? Edward has already come up."

After hearing the introduction, Prince Henry took the hand that Alan extended and shook it enthusiastically.

…

Alan followed Prince Henry's instructions and looked over there. Prince Edward was talking to the Grand Princess of Spain. It turned out that this guy was not stupid. He came here on his own without anyone leading the way. Unlike him, he was just busy touring the first floor.

He turned his head and looked at Prince Henry again.

What can I say about this old guy? Like Prince Philip, he is a leader in gigolo life, and he seems to be living a more comfortable life than Prince Philip.

The British royal family basically lives under the spotlight, with all kinds of gossip exposed every other day. The Danish royal family is much better. Since the queen is more down-to-earth and ordinary people have a basic understanding of her family, they don't care about some news.

After all... anyone can run into the queen of their country in the supermarket every other day, so who would care about royal gossip?

Everyone has become accustomed to it.

This Prince Henry, according to the French or English name, can also be called Prince Henrik in Danish terms, which refers to the same person.

This guy was born into a French noble family. His father was also a count. He was also a military officer in his early years. Later, he worked in the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He was once stationed in London and was quite famous.

So Alan had heard of him. With his outstanding and handsome looks, he successfully charmed Queen Margaret, who was the crown prince at the time. Then the two began dating, and later he married into the Danish royal family and became a prince.

Moreover, he and Queen Margaret were very loving. Unlike Prince Philip, he did not like to fool around. Over the years, there were basically no scandals about him.

This guy is a scholarly aristocrat who has studied a wide range of subjects. With the fame of the Queen of Denmark, reports about him in recent years have been mostly positive.

What is it that can speak five languages, French, English, Danish, Vietnamese and - Chinese.

When Queen Margaret visited China, this prince followed her as an interpreter. He was a very interesting person, and he also brought a small shock to China, which had just opened up at that time.
