A new emperor appoints new ministers. If Hut cannot adapt to his new identity, then he will have to add more people and confidants around him. The elderly people in his family will have to gradually withdraw from the core group around him and just stay at home and enjoy their retirement!
Thinking of this, Alan no longer had the heart to check the information. He took out a stack of letter paper and prepared to start writing the letter.
When Butler Hut informed him that his father and eldest brother had been in a car accident, he was overseas at the time and had to go through the procedures of discharge from the army before returning.
With so many things to deal with at home, I certainly can't continue to serve, but I can't just leave it alone, so I have to apply for retirement.
Fortunately, as a noble, and with a reason for the incident, this matter is still easy to handle.
Before leaving, Alan kept a backup plan and leaked some information to many people he was familiar with and who had left a good impression on him after spending the past few years with him.
…
The advantage of the British Royal Navy is that all the personnel on a warship are a small society.
There are talents in all kinds of fields.
If there are medical soldiers who are proficient in medicine, they can be recruited and employed as their own personal doctors and physical therapists.
Radar communications soldiers who are engaged in radar can be recruited to work as secretaries or assistants.
Even the pilots of anti-submarine helicopters on destroyers can be recruited to be drivers. They can drive and fly planes.
There are many talented people like this.
Even if he is a combatant, he can act as a bodyguard by following him. It can be said that he can dig up a shipload of treasure at will.
For the children of modern British aristocrats, being able to serve in the military has only this benefit, apart from gilding their reputation, which is that they can openly fleece Britain and recruit talent for their families.
If you don't pull it out and I don't pull it out, how can my Great Britain prosper and become strong?
…
The civilians on these ships also have a desire to make progress. Joining the army is just a way of making a living, but to be able to follow a noble, and a "great noble" at the level of an earl, few people can refuse such an opportunity.
Now, what Allen had to do was very simple. He just had to write letters to some people he was optimistic about, extend an olive branch, and then wait for them to come and pledge their allegiance.
…
In the spacious bathroom paved with white marble, Alan's expressionless body was soaking in the water, his head resting on the edge of the bathtub. Hot water was slowly flowing into the bathtub from the animal-head-carved water outlet. In theory, according to tradition, incense should be lit while bathing.
But Alan didn't like that stuff. It was too pungent and foggy. In the past, the Nordic people had a lot of body hair. When they took a bath in hot water, the smell would come out as soon as their bodies touched the hot water...
It’s just like when they kill chickens in the old-fashioned farmers’ markets, they use hot water to scald the chicken feathers. The smell is amazing!
Therefore, in order to cover up the smell, wealthier families would use incense when bathing.
…
Three sturdy, broad-shouldered and thick-waisted maids, weighing nearly 200 pounds, helped Alan take a bath.
What they were holding in their hands were bath towels that they had obtained from the Far East with great difficulty through connections. In the entire Hill family, only the second young master liked this strange thing. When the bath towel touched the skin, it felt so painful!
Butler Hu Te sat at a tea table not far from the bathtub, wearing a pair of reading glasses and holding a few things that looked like invitations, and said, "Second Young Master... I have two invitations. One... you must go, and the other requires you to decide for yourself."
"Hmm..." Alan nodded, glanced at Hut and said, "Ask the kitchen to make me some dessert pudding. I'm hungry."
Although it’s not long since I had dinner, I lost a lot of water after taking a shower and I will feel hungry, so I can eat some dessert pudding to replenish it.
Huth pulled the rope helplessly, and the maid who was ringing the bell poked her head in.
"Ask the kitchen to make two puddings in the flavor that the Second Young Master likes."
When the second young master was a child, he liked to eat pudding. Now that he has grown so big, Butler Hut carefully increases the portion for him.
After instructing the maid, Huth shook the invitation in his hand and continued to signal Allen, "Second Master, the first one is from Butler Capel. His Royal Highness the Prince wants to see you. He will personally issue you the documents for succession to the title."
…
Theoretically speaking, except for newly added nobles, the inheritance of hereditary nobles like this is usually handled by a special department composed of nobles in Britain. They just need to investigate, go through the process, and issue a new procedural document. But now Allen's is actually issued by the prince himself. What's going on here...
It reveals something unusual!
…
Alan stared at Butler Huth without saying a word. He just stared at him quietly. The only sound in the bathroom was the rustling of the bath ball rubbing against his body. Alan, covered in foam, had a cold expression on his face. As the awkward atmosphere continued, even the maids became lighter in their movements.
"Huth, my father and eldest brother also went to a banquet on the day when the accident happened. A banquet that allowed my father to bring my eldest brother with him must be very important, right? Whose banquet is it?"
The old earl was totally devoted to his eldest son, and Alan was not jealous of this at all. He hated to be insincere with all kinds of people every day, and he would rather be a useless person who just ate and waited for death.
But... he is not a fool. The banquet that can make the old earl bring his eldest brother to attend must be of high standard. In other words, the person who presides over the banquet must be of very important status!
This kind of banquet is the most important occasion for expanding interpersonal relationships.
Therefore, the old earl would bring his heir along to help him expand his social circle and introduce and exchange personal connections.
…
Huth's throat moved slightly, and his voice was a little dry as he said, "It's a banquet hosted by His Royal Highness the Prince."
"snort!"
Alan slammed his right hand heavily on the edge of the bathtub, and the foam from the shower gel in his hand splashed everywhere, even Hut's slightly wrinkled old face was splashed with a few drops of foam.
“Clatter…”
He stood up, and foam mixed with clean water flowed down his body.
Alan opened his arms and posed, and said coldly: "Hurry up and get out, I want to discuss matters with the housekeeper!"
These middle-aged maids have been taking care of him since he was a child. He has adapted to the time travel after traveling through time for a few years. Is there anything on his body that they have not seen?
There's nothing to be embarrassed about.
…
Allen, wearing a bathrobe and standing barefoot in the bathroom, stared at Huth and said coldly, "Father and brother, what is the difference between the situation on the day of the accident and now? Tell me! Will I also get into a car accident this time?!"
Both accepted the prince's invitation and attended the banquet.
Is he going to have a car accident on the road now? !
Is it the prince who wants to harm him?
Alan couldn't understand these things!
Allen's heart is cold now. Even though the inheritance of the family business was bumpy and the assets were reduced by more than half, but... compared with life, these difficulties are nothing? !
Now, here it comes again!
Alan still hasn't figured out what's going on.
He feels guilty and hasn't enjoyed enough. I still want to be domineering in Britain. I don't want to be in trouble!
