Chapter 1492: The New Earl of Wellington
Time flies, half a year later.
"Little Five, good dog, come here quickly." Pearl stepped on the floor with her bare feet and clapped her hands happily.
Outside the door, Xiao Wu, who looked like a calf and was stronger than when he arrived at the apartment, rushed towards him.
A beautiful tail flick, the body exerts strength.
Boom!
He slammed into the door frame as chicly as before, and with the silver bell-like laughter of the little master, he readjusted his direction and rushed to her feet.
Xiao Wu, who stood up straight, was about the same height as Pearl, with a tiger head and a tiger face, and a fierce expression. Anyone who saw a little girl juxtaposed with it would be terrified.
The servants in Li's apartment are not surprised by this. This seemingly vicious Feile dog is a fool in front of the little master.
Either knocked myself against the door frame, or was tricked into the slide, sent to the newly built crocodile pond, or was ridden around by the little master like a pony.
Fortunately, the caimans in the crocodile pond are still little guys who haven't grown up.
It's just that every time I think of the funny appearance of Xiao Wu flying out of the crocodile pond like a dragonfly touching water, I can't help but laugh out loud.
"Pearl." It was Mary.
Hearing her mother's call, Pearl skillfully turned over and lay on Xiao Wu's body, calling: "Little Wu, let's go."
"Pearl, don't always ride on it, you are a lady." Seeing the female knight riding Xiao Wu, Mary said with some headaches.
Pearl turned over and got off the dog, bowed his knees, and said in a funny way; "Yes, Your Royal Highness."
"Are you ready?" Just as he was talking, Li Zitao came out of the suite, wearing a well-fitting hand-made custom suit, and the leather shoes made of crocodile leather had eye-catching patterns.
"It's all ready." Mary put on a custom-made Cartier Brilliant Star Bracelet, and signaled the servant to bring the luggage to the car first.
"Dad, can I take Xiao Wu with me?" Pearl rushed into his arms coquettishly.
"certainly."
Today, they will travel to London together on the Princess Adelaide to attend Mason's investiture ceremony.
At the ceremony, which will be witnessed by many members of the royal family and the Protestant archbishop, he announced that he would renounce all nationality and become a British citizen.
And the title he will be awarded is; Earl of Wellington.
"I am a real person, and a soldier, not a statue hanging on a castle." Mason justly rejected other titles.
This incident also caused great repercussions among the people, and even the parliament accused him of being young and frivolous, too rampant and disrespecting royal traditions.
However, these accusations are not painful to him.
He has no intention of going into politics, and he has no interest in a parliament and cabinet dominated by old men.
What he wants, as long as he and Elizabeth understand it is enough.
The official training ceremony is not open to the public, and is witnessed by the archbishop and members of the royal family, as well as Mason's family, in the royal traditional church.
Arriving in London the next day, neither Li Zitao nor Mary could see him.
At this time, he has already begun to prepare for the next ceremony, and at the same time he has to follow the etiquette officer to practice the process of awarding honors and lines.
From now on, his every move will be under the 'supervision' of the government and the royal family.
And he not only represents himself, but also represents the heir to the royal family, the external image of the future monarch.
"It's really come to this point." They will go to the ceremony in a while, and Mary feels hesitant and regretful.
When things came to a head, she wasn't sure if the future she and Charlie had chosen for him was the right one.
The invisible pressure of being a member of the royal family, the attention from the world and the supervision of the public,
They will look at any trivial matter with critical eyes.
He could have lived a more relaxed life, living more self-consciously and freely.
"Your Royal Highness, Your Excellency the Marquis, the ceremony is about to begin." The door was opened, and the royal servant invited the two to the church.
Sitting in the carriage, Li Zitao held his wife's sweaty palm and patted the back of her hand to comfort her.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Mary took a deep look at him and said, "Do you think this is what he wants?"
"Whether it is or not, there is no way out." Li Zitao said with certainty.
Such worries had already happened to him at the very beginning.
And he also personally asked Mason if he really wanted to go down with Elizabeth, and his answer was yes.
And, for that, moved to London, and parted from his family.
Join the Royal Air Force for rigorous training and combat.
Not long before the award, they learned that Mason had been dispatched to India for nearly two years and had participated in three small-scale battles in a fighter plane.
The reason for Mason's award to the outside world is that he has performed outstandingly in combat and continued the tradition and glory of the Royal Air Force's bravery and fearlessness.
"Father, Mom." The carriage arrived in front of the church, and the two met Aiden who was also coming.
He set off from the Mediterranean Sea, Li Zitao thought he would miss it.
"You look much stronger." Li Zitao patted his arm hard, and Li Zitao laughed heartily.
Aiden smiled and said nothing. After hugging his mother, he hugged Pearl, "Little Pearl, do you miss me?"
"I don't want to." Pearl proudly turned her head away.
bad brother!
He didn't come back after walking for so long, and asked Pearl if he missed him.
I don't want to, I don't want to...
The little eyes glanced at his brother from time to time, and the defense line in Pearl's heart collapsed.
"It makes me so sad. I have a pity that I have carefully prepared a gift for my sister." Aiden said, pretending to be pitiful, wiping the corners of his eyes with his hands.
"A gift?" Pearl's eyes lit up, and he reluctantly said, "For the sake of the gift, I forgive you... What about the gift?"
"At the hotel, I'll bring it to you when I get back." Aiden pressed on her little head.
"We should go in, be quiet." Seeing the priest approaching, Mary showed a solemn expression.
The others also changed their faces in an instant, showing polite and polite smiles.
Even Pearl could handle such a scene with ease, her gentle and innocent smile, coupled with the standard curtsy, left a deep impression on people.
Watching the ceremony is a very boring thing, because the archbishop is presiding, people need to keep quiet.
After being led to the position, he stood there and waited for the ceremony to begin.
"His Majesty and Queen are here."
George VI and the Queen arrived, and after everyone bowed, the ceremony officially began.
Today's Mason was extraordinarily dressed, wearing the standard clothing of the British aristocrats, with several layers of coats inside and out, making him look like a man in armor.
First, the archbishop came to him holding the royal code and the Bible, and Mason put his hands on them.
"As of today, I, Charlie Lee, voluntarily renounce all foreign nationality, titles and rights, and become a British citizen..."
After waiting for the oath to be completed, Mason stepped forward and knelt on one knee in front of George VI.
"In the name of the Supreme Ruler of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Head of the Commonwealth, the Monarch of the Commonwealth Kingdom, and the Emperor of India, I formally confer the title of Mason Lee, Earl of Wellington, loyal and brave..."
When George VI finished his speech and accepted the blessing from the archbishop, the award ceremony officially ended.
