Chapter 1,717 Mason’s Thoughts
Mason humbly accepted their suggestions.
As for what to do, it is his own business and has nothing to do with anyone else.
He is no longer the teenage boy who still needs guidance and arrangements from his parents to decide whether it is better to step on the left foot or the right foot next.
Li Zitao naturally saw this. Mary, who only cared about her son, was still chattering endlessly.
"It's getting late, Mason. Go see Elizabeth. He needs your care more at this time."
While his wife was breathing heavily, Li Zitao interrupted her to send Mason off.
"I haven't finished speaking yet?" Mary frowned and asked dissatisfiedly.
Li Zitao smiled and said to Aiden, "Take the sisters back to the room. I have something to tell my mother."
"Let's go, little girls." Aiden pulled the two little girls from left to right and left the room without looking back.
When only the two of them were left, Li Zitao said flatteringly: "Don't be angry. I know you care about Mason, but he is no longer a child."
"No matter when the time comes, he will be my child." Mary looked at him complainingly.
"Yes." Li Zitao nodded in agreement and said, "But he has been able to think independently. He has been living alone in London for these years and has done very well.
Look at him now, aren't you proud of him? "
A happy and satisfied smile appeared on Mary's face, and she said: "Of course I am proud of him, he did better than I imagined.
Whether it's physical or mental appearance, he looks good, but..."
Mary's face couldn't help but darken, and she said in a low voice: "We spend too little time with him... This always makes me feel uneasy."
"The chick will always fly when it grows up. At this time, we just need to watch it leave and be ready at all times."
Mary gave him a strange look and said, "What preparations?"
"When he has experienced the violent storms of the outside world, feels tired, sad, or injured, and wants a warm harbor, the door of home is always open to him."
…
In the bedroom that originally belonged to George VI, Elizabeth had just finished her day's journey.
"Are you okay?" Mason asked her through the door.
Because the two were not married yet, they slept in separate rooms, but the two rooms were only separated by a door. When you opened the door, you could see each other's beds.
At this time, Elizabeth was having her maid change her nightgown behind the screen. When she heard Mason's greeting, she said tiredly: "I'm exhausted today."
"Me too." Mason sighed as well.
Elizabeth had to deal with the royal family and government officials, and was also responsible for talking to national leaders who came to pay their respects.
And he has to deal with those boring people who wish him well, have bad intentions, have ulterior motives, or are just waiting to see a joke... Of course, the nagging from his parents is also indispensable.
"I think this life will continue for a long time... Do you want to chat?" Elizabeth said.
"...If you still have energy, I think it's time to talk." Mason said thoughtfully.
In fact, he had something he wanted to talk to Elizabeth about.
After the two of them changed their clothes, Elizabeth asked the housekeeper and servants to leave, and the two of them sat at the table in her room and drank red wine.
"Has the succession ceremony been arranged?"
"Five days later, someone suggested that I choose my own assistant today. Who do you think is more suitable?" Elizabeth asked while combing her hair.
"Isn't the previous assistant good?" Mason thought the previous assistant was good.
Although he belongs to the old king, he has done a great job and there should be no problem in letting him continue to serve the royal family.
"After all, he is my father's person. I don't know if he will be loyal to me." Elizabeth had her own considerations.
If a person's loyalty can easily change its target, then it is worth pondering how reliable this loyalty is.
"You're right...I think the royal family has prepared quite a few people to choose from."
"I want Klein to be responsible, young, thoughtful, and able to accept new things faster... The royal family's atmosphere is too old-fashioned."
"Don't you think he's too rash?" Mason was not very satisfied with this choice.
He had met Klein and had many interactions with him.
In his opinion, this is a person who likes to be pushy, exaggerated when speaking, and extremely impetuous.
If he serves as Elizabeth's future assistant, it is likely to have a great negative impact on her.
"That's a question, I'll think about it again." Elizabeth looked at him and asked, "What about you, is there anything bothering you?"
"I'm thinking about what happens after the wedding." Mason tried his best to express his thoughts in a tactful tone.
It does not want to be a puppet completely at the mercy of the royal family, even if it is an honor and symbol from the royal family's own point of view.
"I need my own career, work and private time, and of course my hobbies are also important. I like to play football with the soldiers."
Although I left the United States, the life I once knew, the team...
Mason never gave up on the sport.
Here he quickly fell in love with and integrated into the rougher English football. The passion brought about by the collision of body and body made people's blood boil.
"I don't object to you doing what you like, but when I need you...especially when I need you, I hope you can drop everything and stand by my side."
Elizabeth looked at him seriously and said, "It's better to explain some things clearly."
In the short few days after her father's death, Elizabeth has clearly realized that she will devote more time and energy to the royal family in the years to come.
It also means that she doesn't have too much time to deal with other troubles, such as family quarrels and troubles caused by marital discord.
"It should be so. No matter now or in the future, I will be by your side." Mason's answer was without any reluctance or hesitation.
As her husband, he should stand by her side unswervingly and give her strong support whether she needs it or not.
However, this support requires more authenticity.
Mason doesn't think a simple "I believe in you" can mean everything.
With their wedding just around the corner, it might be time to talk to their parents about management rights and shares in some European industries.
"Since they all think that I am no longer suitable to stay in the army, then at least I should fulfill my promise..." Mason told his fiancée his plan.
"They can't possibly hand over all the industries in Europe to you... What do you want?" Elizabeth asked curiously.
"I'm hesitating and haven't made a decision yet!" Mason said.
Hearing what he said, Elizabeth rolled her eyes and expressed her opinion.
“Luxembourg is rising in the banking sector and is catching up to France in importance, so maybe you should consider that.”
