NOVEL NEXT Rebirth of England.
Chapter 012 The Queen Receives
Ahead of the "Golden Jubilee Celebrations", Barron was summoned by Her Majesty the Queen.
This is not the first time Barron has come to Buckingham Palace. To be precise, in his memory, he accompanied his father several times during some royal celebrations. However, he was personally received by the Queen. This is definitely It's the first time.
In other words, if Barron was not the only heir left in the Devonshire Duke family, it would be difficult for him to be summoned by Her Majesty the Queen before he was officially awarded the title of Duke.
Although he had already expected it, when the reality was faced by Barron, he still couldn't help but sigh.
The fact is that the queen did not summon him for long, she just showed up and chatted for a few words.
The content of the chat, on the one hand, was to express regret for the recent events that happened to the Duke of Devonshire family. The Queen said that she had originally planned to attend their family's funeral in person, but she was really busy, so she sent the Prince of Wales. Your Majesty, the crown prince, is going.
In Barron's view, the reason for this may be that it is the Golden Jubilee celebration of the Queen's 50th year on the throne, so not only herself, but also people around her certainly do not support the Queen attending such a funeral - more What's more, although the Queen looks energetic, she is already 76 years old after all...
She specifically mentioned the old lady of the Duke of Devonshire family——
"I heard her name when I was younger and later talked to her at several gatherings. It's really sad to hear about her passing after so many years."
In addition, the Queen also stated that she will personally award Barron the title of Duke during the ceremony.
As for the rest, there is none.
The implication of this is obvious, that is, she also knows the situation of the Duke of Devonshire family at this time. If the family can survive this crisis, they will deserve nothing less.
But if Barron's can't survive this crisis, there's probably nothing they can do to help.
Barron did not have too many illusions about this. After all, it was obvious that since World War II, the most obvious point of successive British governments was that they continued to restrict and restrict the nobility. Even in the new century, they have This weakening began to be directed at the royal family.
Under such circumstances, in order to maintain the relationship with the government, the royal family could not support the nobles too obviously.
And having said that, after World War I and World War II, and until now, countless British noble families have been submerged in the long river of history. In view of this situation, the royal family is not willing to get involved.
After all, if I helped you this time, will other noble families help you next time?Although there are only more than 20 non-royal duke families, there are so many others including marquis, earls, viscounts, etc. If we really intervene this time, I am afraid there will be no peaceful life in the future.
Therefore, I felt sorry for the Duke of Devonshire family, but they still stood on the sidelines.
……
This time the Queen's reception is just a process before the "Golden Jubilee Celebration" officially starts tomorrow. In addition to Barron representing the Duke of Devonshire family, there are many other nobles, celebrities and dignitaries who have also been received by the Queen. .
It is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself. Barron had already realized this, so after returning to the apartment, he immediately began to study the next bet.
He did not place a bet on today's game. After all, the World Cup will last for a month, and it is impossible for him to place a bet on every game. In that case, it would be too obvious and high-profile.
And it's not that he can still remember the results of all the games. The ones that left a deep impression on him only accounted for about one-fifth of them.
