In a well-decorated living room, Arthur was getting angry with several servants.
"Why is it so dark here? Are you all useless? Can't you even handle this little thing?"
A leading servant immediately replied fearfully:
"I'm sorry, Your Highness. The manager has sent someone to the palace to borrow the glazed lanterns and night-light pearls. I believe things will be fine soon."
"Go to the palace to borrow these things? Do I need to go to my father to borrow these things for my prince's castle? Where are our original ones?" the prince asked extremely angrily.
Although he is a British prince, he has moved out of the palace and lived in the prince's castle since he became an adult. This is equivalent to establishing his own business. But now he has to go to the palace to borrow these things, which makes him feel very embarrassed.
The servant looked up at the prince and said cautiously: "It was stolen."
"Get out of here, everyone."
The prince couldn't bear it anymore. The nasty thief even stole the glass lamp and night-glow pearls he used for lighting. It was really abominable.
Several servants all ran out as if they had been pardoned, and they were very lucky not to be severely punished. Although today's incident had nothing to do with them, the prince's temper has been really bad recently, and he often gets angry at his servants randomly.
Since the theft that night, the prince is no longer the gentle gentleman he used to be. He has become fiery, irritable, and even violent. Many people working here have already planned to resign, and of course some subordinates
Those in the relationship are not so lucky. They have no way to resign and can only endure it silently, while praying that the prince can change back to his former self as soon as possible.
In addition to Prince Arthur, there are two middle-aged men in this living room. They are both Arthur's most loyal followers. One is Merlint, who is now the steward of the prince's castle, and the other is Sherrett, who is responsible for advising Arthur.
.
They came here today to discuss the things that had happened in the past few days, and they did not want to see the prince angry again. The two looked at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.
Arthur's cultivation is indeed strong, which Sherrett is pleased about, but the prince's character is somewhat lacking. To put it bluntly, his character is very immature. He has never experienced any setbacks since he was a child, and has always been smooth sailing.
resulted in this defect.
Now that this kind of minor crisis has occurred, he has already lost his former grace and his peace of mind. If such a person wants to achieve great things, he will probably have to go through a lot of hard work.
Maybe this time is an opportunity for the Ximen family to become the prince's whetstone and let the prince suffer more setbacks and blows, which may make him mature as soon as possible.
Sherritt had a bold idea in his mind, but the prerequisite for realizing this idea was to make the prince suffer more losses at the hands of the Ximen family. In this case, certain sacrifices were inevitable. In addition, could the prince be free from the consequences?
Standing up from failure is also unknown.
Sherrett does not feel sorry for the sacrifice. Anyway, the Knights of the Round Table do not obey the prince's words 100%. They are representatives of various noble families. Only when facing the public enemies of all British nobles, the Knights of the Round Table will work together.
They worked together, but when facing the royal family's own enemies, they only acted perfunctorily.
Such power is useless to the royal family, and it makes no difference whether they have it or not. Moreover, when they want to take action against the domestic nobles, it will be very troublesome.
The current royal family and aristocratic families no longer have the same relationship as monarchs and ministers hundreds of years ago. Now they are just partners. With Prince Arthur's ambition, he will not be satisfied with a title of king in name only, so the prince
Sooner or later, he will take action against the families in the country who do not obey his orders, so the knights of the Round Table will become the biggest obstacle.
It would be better to take this opportunity to get rid of those few knights who are not very loyal to the prince. The prince can also sharpen his mind without knowing it, which is indeed a multi-purpose achievement.
The idea in Sherritt's mind gradually became confirmed, and he finally made up his mind to do something behind the prince's back that would harm the current situation, but would be of great benefit to the future.
At this moment, Arthur also recovered from his anger. He looked at the two people beside him, and then asked:
"How is it? How is the investigation of the thief who entered the castle that night?"
Manager Maureen glanced at Sherrett and then reported:
"The information currently investigated is a bit complicated. From the footage obtained from the surveillance video, the thief is Jun Xiaojun from the Huaxia Jun family, and there are two other elderly people whose identities cannot be determined for the time being. However, our informant in the capital of Huaxia reported,
There is also a Jun Xiaojun in Yanjing. It is said that this Jun Xiaojun has established a new company called Shenlong Technology, and he is currently managing the company at home as the boss behind the scenes."
"Two Jun Xiaojuns?" Arthur frowned, turned around and asked:
"Sherette, what do you think?"
After hearing the prince ask himself, Sherritt said with certainty: "Your Highness, don't worry. According to my speculation, the Jun Xiaojun who came to our castle must be a fake."
"Even? Why are you so sure?" Arthur asked curiously.
Sherrett seemed to know that the prince would ask this, and saw him take out a remote control and press it a few times, and then the mural on the opposite wall slowly opened, revealing a huge LCD screen.
Then he pressed a few more times, and images immediately appeared on the screen. These were the images of the three thieves captured by surveillance equipment in different places in the castle that night.
"Your Highness, please look at these surveillance pictures. These three people clearly saw our surveillance cameras. Instead of avoiding or destroying them, they deliberately showed their faces. They seemed to be afraid that the pictures were not clear enough. How can anyone in the world be so stupid?
Thief, isn’t he afraid that we will negotiate with the Chinese government?”
Sherrett pointed at the picture on the screen and talked. Arthur and the manager Mo Lin nodded frequently. They thought about it and it was true. This Jun Xiaojun is a descendant of the Jun family of China. In China, the descendants of such aristocratic families are the most
What I am afraid of is international disputes, so there is absolutely no reason to offend myself.
Thinking about it, you know that this must be a frame-up, and the person who framed Jun Xiaojun must be his enemy. In this case, the person who stole his treasure is probably the Ximen family.
Then I heard Sherrett continue: "Before, the Ximen Family sent a large number of experts to the UK, and the excuse they announced to the outside world was to deal with this Jun Xiaojun. Now it seems that what they really want to deal with is us.
Recently, the competition between Merlin Group and Ximen Family for PDL Company has entered the final stage. It is said that PDL has successfully developed a series of technologies that can change the current energy landscape. Whoever masters these technologies will be able to develop rapidly in the next decades or even centuries.
Develop and even dominate the global business circle.
This is why the Ximen Family suddenly broke out and took full action against us."
Hearing him say these things, Arthur was really angry. First, he made a fake Jun Xiaojun in London, then sent experts under the pretext of dealing with him, and then let the fake Jun Xiaojun come here to steal and marry.
It’s really Jun Xiaojun’s fault.
If he is fooled, he will point the finger at the enemies of the Ximen family, so that they can watch the show on the side, and maybe even add insult to injury after losing troops on his side. This is simply too despicable.
He was about to believe that the Ximen family was behind the scenes, when suddenly his housekeeper Mo Lin said:
"Is it possible that he is from the other party? Is this fake Jun Xiaojun someone else? Is he not from the Ximen family?"
