Chapter 7 The Historical Origins of the Hill Family



“No, no…”

Alan shook his head in annoyance. He remembered that Butler Hutt said that there were some things he dared not say!

Why doesn't he dare to say it?!

He is the chief steward of a hereditary earl's family. If he stamps his feet, the whole city of Carmarthen and parts of southern Wales will tremble!

There is something he dare not even say? !

That's something he didn't even dare to say...

It certainly involves more than just the prince.

The Hill family's relationship with the current Prince of Wales is the closest among the entire British aristocracy, except for the royal family!

Due to some historical reasons, the full name of the current Britain is the United Kingdom of Great (? ) Britain and Northern Ireland.

This includes England, which occupies the majority of the British Isles and is distributed in most of the southern part of the British Isles.

There are also the barbarians in the Highlands to the north and the Scotland who are "unwaveringly loyal" to Britain.

To the west of England is Wales, which is "loyal" to Britain.

There is also a small area across the sea from Wales, which is Northern Ireland in the north of the island of Ireland.

In addition to these large areas, there are more than a dozen enclaves overseas.

These dozen enclaves are located all over the world.

Theoretically, this can be considered a mini version of the British Empire.

This is the current composition of the entire UK.

Among them, there is another large loose organization, which is the giant federation headed by the Queen of Great Britain - the Commonwealth!

I won’t say much about this.

When Wales was conquered by the English, they were not particularly convinced. They claimed that you English can only conquer our land but not our hearts. If you want to conquer our hearts, in addition to providing food and lodging, you must also choose a new king for us Wales according to our requirements!

The King of England at that time agreed to the Welsh's request.

But this condition is... quite harsh.

The local nobles hoped that the King of England at that time would choose a prince who was born in Wales and spoke Welsh as his first words to be the new King of Wales.

The King of England at that time took the pregnant queen to the castle in Wales to wait for the birth of her baby.

This child was the first new King of Wales.

According to British tradition, the male crown prince will naturally obtain the title of Prince of Wales.

The ancestor of the Hill family was the personal guard of the King of England at that time, and was later appointed by the King of England as the personal guard of the Crown Prince. In layman's terms, it can be understood as the "Commander of the East Palace Guards."

And the fiefdom of the Hill family was reasonably integrated into Wales to protect the crown prince.

At that time, the Hill family was a border earl. This title not only came with fiefdoms, but also real military power. As a local lord, it was their duty to protect the crown prince and guard the border.

In the whole of Britain, apart from the royal family members, the highest rank of British nobility in the past was the earl, and the border earls among the earls had military power and fiefdoms!

In order to distinguish themselves from ordinary earls, this group of powerful border earls gradually evolved into marquises, which was one level higher than earls!

This is the British aristocracy system.

As for the Hill family, their success and failure are both due to the royal family. Due to their duties, they are considered as retainers of the crown prince. They were unable to take this upgrade journey and have to serve as border earls.

But this does not affect their status in the British aristocratic circle at all!

Over the past few hundred years, the Hill family has been loyal to each generation of the Prince of Wales of Britain, and these princes will become kings of Britain in the future!

He can be said to be the most legitimate aristocrat among the British nobility.

The family has very strong connections and background, and it is said that each generation has been "able to follow the dragon".

Moreover, you can legally and reasonably change your allegiance repeatedly.

After each generation of Prince of Wales ascends the throne, the Hill family will be powerful for a short period of time, and then they will be loyal to the new, young Prince of Wales.

In this way, the Hill family, like a bug, could repeatedly switch allegiance between the prince and the king, two generations of British monarchs.

Apart from the British royal family who can bully the Hill family, everyone else has to give the Hill family some face!

but……

Unexpected things happen. As of the generation of the previous earl, that is, Allen’s grandfather, the position of the new Prince of Wales in Britain was vacant!

The new King of Great Britain is the Queen!

But she is not the Prince of Wales!

(There are other connections here, don’t take it too seriously! Different world!)

The title of Prince of Wales has gender restrictions!

The Hill family was briefly without a new object of allegiance.

It was not until the emergence of the new Prince of Wales, Charles, that the Hill family found a new backbone.

And Alan's father, the old Earl, is extremely loyal to Prince Charles!

The relationship between the Hill family and the royal family urgently needs to be strengthened!

The complicated relationship here is why the Hill family is only an earl's family, but a noble family directly under the prince.

They are the prince’s true confidants!

but……

Now, is this object of his loyalty going to harm him, Alan?

The only remaining heir of the Hill family?

This shouldn't happen!

Butler Hu Te looked at the Second Young Master mumbling impatiently, his face full of confusion. He gritted his teeth and said, "Second Young Master! His Royal Highness the Prince has summoned you, you have to go even if you don't want to."

"Hold!"

Alan glanced at Hut and suppressed his annoyance.

The current situation is...

The title inheritance procedures are still in the hands of the prince!

If he sticks his head out, he will be killed; if he hides his head, he will also be killed. Is there any way he can run away?

Even if he runs, where can he go?

He could only go to see the prince as requested in the invitation.

There is no other way!

"Whose other invitation is it?"

At such a terrible time, someone actually invited him. He wanted to see which blind guy would come to cause trouble!

"It's a wealthy Korean businessman who invites you to talk about a land development project."

"A wealthy Korean businessman? A Korean?"

Alan was stunned when he heard Hut's answer.

He hadn't seen an Asian in years. The racial distribution of the entire Wales was amazing. According to the statistics from the year before last, 99.7% of the population was white. The remaining 0.3% of other populations were basically blacks and Indians. Now...

In this remote place, there were actually Koreans coming to see him?

It's really rare.

Among the four Asian tigers of this era, Japan and South Korea, let alone other places, are really rich!

Not to mention the Japanese, who claim to buy the entire United States, and the Koreans...

Alan seldom heard about their deeds, but he never expected that the little Koreans would now begin to march into Britain?

Quite interesting.

Before Alan could feel happy about the long-lost novelty, he was stunned. Although he had not officially inherited the title yet, his identity was there, a great Earl of Great Britain!

With his current status, can a mere Korean tycoon invite him?
