Chapter 21 Undercurrent
The material used to record the title succession procedure is not ordinary paper, but something that feels similar to parchment. Anyway, Allen can't tell what kind of material it is for a while.
Seeing the edict above, as well as the history of the Hill family and a brief introduction to Allen's life, the long record is extremely detailed.
Until the end, Allen saw the seal and signature that symbolized the supreme authority of Britain, and felt slightly relieved.
This inheritance procedure document must be confirmed and signed by the Queen herself. Now this can prove that Allen is temporarily safe in a short period of time!
"Okay, my Earl of Carmarthen, in this box is your dress. Open it and take a look."
Charles watched Allen carefully flip through the inheritance documents, and did not laugh at him. The new earl of the Hill family was still young and was just curious for a moment.
"?"
What's so good about a dress?
Allen came back to his senses, put away the procedures, looked at Charles with some doubts, held down the box that Charles pointed to with both hands, moved it slightly in front of him, slowly opened the box, and what he saw was a very ordinary item.
British aristocratic dress.
To be precise, it's not a dress, but a set of exclusive jackets that represent your status!
This kind of coat has strict regulations depending on the title.
The way both parties handle things, the eldest brother let alone the second brother.
Charles looked deeply at Allen. Allen's performance at that moment was nothing to blame. It was very bland, with no flaws, and was perfect!
"Let's go have a meal."
Are you so exhausted that you will die young when you are thirty?
Allen felt like his nose was sore.
As for what Allen did, he did not say that he would not pay the inheritance tax, he just paid it late, which is also not illegal, but defaulting on the inheritance tax is also immoral.
Even if Allen doesn't know it now, what if he knows it later?
I didn’t kill you or injure you, so what’s the fuss about?
It's a bit like officials in ancient China. There are rules for what grade an official should be, what color clothes he should wear, and what kind of spiritual beasts should be embroidered on his chest!
In Great Britain, the distinction between titles is mostly due to the number of minks on the hat.
But now that Allen saw the coat, he was slightly stunned.
I don’t want to get involved in your affairs or your family’s affairs!
The night before it stopped raining, Allen thought about it for a while and calculated the time.
I'm afraid this person doesn't know that this rain will not stop for thirty or forty years!
The sunshine that Charles is looking forward to may not come for a while.
"very good!"
Theoretically speaking, it is not illegal for the Ministry of Noble Affairs to bring people from the bank to visit him to urge him to pay inheritance tax.
"."
"Hahaha, my Earl of Carmarthen, this is indeed not in line with etiquette, but this is what I specially applied for you, and it is reasonable!"
There should be some comfort, or else?
There is no impatience in this gaze, but rather some temptation?
What is he trying to test me for?
There was no time for him to think too much. Allen pretended to swallow his saliva and quickly checked everything he could think of.
This old cunt!
He was not stating the facts to me, he was testing me!
He is testing me!
this
It seems a little different from the one I saw with my father before.
If Allen is sensible enough, he will have to let go of some so-called resentments and treat the accident at home as just an accident!
Whenever Allen dared to express any other emotions unexpectedly, maybe in order to protect himself, Allen would be "betrayed" by the His Highness in front of him, just like his father.
This is
After carefully looking at the details, Allen raised his head and looked at Charles and said: "Your Highness, did you give it to the wrong person? This belongs to the Marquis."
But the owner had just returned home not long ago, and the matter had not been settled yet. It was very immoral to rush the matter in such a hurry.
Um?
wrong.
Got it!
"Your Highness, this is not in line with etiquette."
Now that the inheritance procedures have been completed, Charles is not sure whether he knows the inside story and whether he has any resentment towards that person in his heart. The words Charles says now contain a faint temptation towards Allen.
"Well, it does belong to the Marquis, but it is also for you."
"There is such a thing. They blocked the car in the middle of the road when I was traveling. Your Highness, I have just returned home not long ago. There are many things at home and I have no clue to deal with them. The Department of Noble Affairs does this."
Do I understand?
Charles laughed, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared and became serious. Before Alan could speak, he said: "Alan, the clear sunshine always appears after a heavy rain. We are now in a...
Do you understand the night before the rain stops?"
Thinking of this, Allen happened to meet Charles' eyes.
Standing up, Charles motioned for Allen to follow him to the restaurant.
As for what to test, Allen glanced at the documents in his hand.
How can we lead the team in the future if the hearts of the people are gone, let alone the only remaining heir of the loyal Hill family?
"These damn bugs!" When Charles heard this, he knew what was going on here. The nobles who could serve in the Ministry of Noble Affairs were all descendants of settled nobles with small family backgrounds and no fiefdoms. They united together and
For Allen, a traditional noble with a fiefdom in his family, he was born with a kind of "hatred", which everyone in the entire aristocratic circle knew very well.
I understand it so well!
Big brother
Stop drawing cakes for me here. I’m full of all the cakes you drew!
As expected, like mother, like son, they are not easy to get along with!
"I understand, Your Highness, I understand very well! The Hill family will always support Your Highness and obey your orders!"
Although I don't know if Allen knows the truth here, Charles himself is very aware of the inside story.
Before coming, Allen was mentally prepared for this summons. He knew that this meeting would not be simple, but...
This is too tiring!
He just wants to be a nobleman who waits for death, but if the intrigues continue like this, will his hair start to grow gray when he is twenty?
When Allen said this, his tone was a little angry.
With one hand in his pocket, Charles walked slowly and steadily, as if unintentionally, and said: "I heard that two days ago, at the gate of your manor, you connived at the servants and shot the clerk of the Department of Noble Affairs. Your attitude
Extremely bad? You almost beat them to death?"
As for the shooting?
After thinking through all these twists and turns, Allen felt a little cold. He was really an old cunt. Who would have thought that at this time, a very ordinary sentence could have so many meanings and temptations?
And the empire relied on this group of people to check and balance each other within the nobility.
To put it bluntly, let them eat dog.
"Well, you left home two days early, why did you arrive today? Is the road condition along the way already so bad? It took two days of walking?"
Charles made it very clear, he knew Alan's schedule and time very well!
