One Thousand Four Hundred Seventy-Six Choice Problem
Everyone has their own responsibilities and obligations, and the nobles are no exception.
After the feast of the Earl of Oxford, the upper class in London has undergone earth-shaking changes, but Hall's historical heritage, social status and extensive contacts as a hereditary noble still exist, all of which need someone to be able to inherit, this is what belongs to Hall Responsibilities and obligations of family members. For the honor of the family and for future generations.
Although George and Elizabeth are still in their prime, they still enjoy the privileges and benefits brought by the aristocracy, and they still have no plans to give up; but the problem is that their relationship with Renly is irreparable. The influence of the noble class has come to an abrupt end. After the passage of time, their return to the stage again may not be good news for the Hall family.
So, the question arises: should George and Elizabeth continue the family glory; or should the next generation take over the scepter?
The upper classes have already given their answer: open their arms to the official debut of Elf and Arthur.
In the past few years, Renly's influence has been various, and the Hall family is no exception. Outside of Edith, the changes of Elf and Arthur are also obvious.
Although Elf had never spoken to Renly, or, to be precise, anyone; Arthur could sense her confusion and struggle. Especially after the feast of the Earl of Oxford, Elf fell into the predicament of her own reflection. Her hesitation, her hesitation, and her struggle, no one knew about it, but it really existed.
But at the end of the story, a decision is still needed. Elf's personality has never been indecisive.
Elf made her own choice: she decided to take over the responsibility of the Hall family and become the new spokesperson for the family.
As a full-time doctor, Elf's work is busy and hard. You don't need to ask, and you can know how much she has paid for her persistence, and it may even be far more difficult than imagined. Therefore, she has always been very Rarely appears at all kinds of social parties, and the upper class is also clear about the profession and dedication of the eldest daughter of the Hall family.
Now, for the glory of the Hall family, she is bound to have to make choices and sacrifices, most likely her entire career, but she still has no hesitation. Or, her hesitations and hesitations were hidden from Arthur's sight.
As Arthur said, Renly and Elf are too similar. For their perseverance, they both paid an unimaginable price; and their ruthlessness and decisiveness were far beyond imagination.
The only difference is that Renly chose himself, while Elf chose the family. It was like that when I was a kid, and it doesn't change when I grow up. Therefore, Renly and Elf will never be able to coexist peacefully, and just now, the conversation between them is the best proof, cold and polite, alien and boring, like two strangers.
Even though Elf has a special love for drama, in front of family and glory, all personal emotions must be put back. Renly is the opposite.
It cannot be said that it is right or wrong, it can only be said that it is a choice, choosing a different way of life, and choosing a different protection object.
Arthur and Edith are not like that. They have their own struggles, their own fetters, and their own concerns. At the beginning, Edith was forced to be imprisoned in London for more than a month because of her nanny Denise; and Arthur was always carrying the shackles of "hereditary heir to the title", unable to truly be himself.
Arthur is a lazy and wanton personality, he likes to walk on different parties, those socializing and laughter can make him feel relaxed and joyful; he also likes to walk between different contacts, those boring contacts management But it can let him taste the pleasure and satisfaction of strategizing.
If he can, he hopes to be an ordinary party planner, without the responsibilities and obligations of the family, nor the need to worry about the reputation and glory of the family,
Just simply stand by yourself. He couldn't help but wonder if that kind of life would be simpler and happier.
But...he can't. Because he is Arthur Hall, because he is Lord Hall.
Arthur knew very well that if he ditched the advantages of his family connections completely, he would have nothing; and so-called party planners would be nothing. He knew better than anyone that the convenience brought by the surname "Hall" was irreplaceable; more importantly, there was no way he could just give up—
Even giving up the idea of being a party planner, just being yourself, like Edith or Renly, being your truest self. But neither can he. From childhood to adulthood, he was cultivated in the manner and identity of the next Baron Hall, and his entire life was burdened with the weight of this title, all the shackles were everywhere, even Elf became a doctor, But...he can't.
His life was arranged and planned long ago. He couldn't act rashly, he couldn't make mistakes, he couldn't even have his own thoughts, and even if he was almost out of breath, he couldn't break free. The so-called freedom and dreams, for him, were doomed to disappear from the moment of birth.
Someone once wondered why European aristocrats like to go on vacation outside, even Jin/House/Tibetan/Jiao, has nothing to do with morality or patriarchy, they just want to escape, to escape from those people suffocating life. No one said it was right, but it was their only resistance.
Therefore, the British upper class has always been tolerant of such things. Just look at the marriage of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, Camilla has long existed, even tacitly. Because of this, Princess Diana gradually began to resist, and it became more and more intense.
Arthur envied Renly, not because he was talented or because he had achieved his dreams, but because Renly had freedom.
Renly could breathe freely, run freely, imagine freely, Renly knew what he wanted, so he started the chase; and he? He doesn't know what he wants, and he doesn't know what he doesn't want, just like a marionette without a thought.
Sometimes, he even began to wonder if he was enjoying the party so much because he simply wanted to hide his loneliness in the crowd.
After all, Arthur couldn't be as decisive as Elf, nor could he be as reckless as Renly. Even Edith broke free from the shackles while running wildly, but he still trapped himself in this way. Location. Only him.
A little gasp at the Cannes Film Festival made Arthur happy again. Today, the reason why he agreed to meet with Renly is that he hopes that Renly can delegate the relevant activities of the Venice Film Festival to him, and he is ready to show his strength.
However, Elf appeared.
Elf reminded Arthur, "You are Lord Hall. You should know your responsibilities."
As the next Baron Hall, Elf wants Arthur to also stand up, step up and take responsibility before George and Elizabeth take over again.
Although Elf didn't say any harsh words, the understated words were heavy on his chest, and Arthur was almost out of breath. He was like a drowning man who needed a piece of driftwood to save.
Looking at Renly in front of him, Arthur's eyes were full of despair, "What should I do?"
Renly couldn't answer.
Arthur struggled to catch the slightest fluctuation in Renly's eyes, but he was disappointed, finding nothing, and the desperation dragged his ankle still heavily.
With a wry smile, the corner of his mouth rose, and Arthur suddenly remembered that when Renly was forced out of New York, was he even more angry and more desperate? And what was he doing then?
But the memory is blank. He couldn't remember it, because he never seemed to care about it, just treated it as a small talk that slipped past his ears, turned around and forgot.
This is their life. So, what does he want now? What can he ask for?
Renly sat quietly on the spot, he could perceive that Arthur was very unusual today, even more unusual than on Oscar night. He had no way of knowing how much pain and struggle Arthur had gone through. He knew that he You should just stand by and watch, because this is how the nobles handle things, cold-blooded and objective, he has always done this, and he comforted himself in this way.
However, in the end, he still couldn't do it, and he was still soft-hearted. Perhaps, he has never been a qualified noble.
"You know my answer," Renly said.
Arthur, who was in despair, finally caught the ray of light, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Renly blankly, but he was puzzled and confused.
Renly let out a small breath, "I'm not you, we face different situations after all; but you should know my answer, as it was, now, and in the future... and hopefully. Now, you don't Follow Elf's advice and ask for my advice, so does that mean you've made a decision and you just need to take courage from me?"
Gradually, Arthur came back to his senses, savoring Renly's words carefully, and his mouth was full of bitterness. This wasn't the answer he wanted, but as Renly said, he already knew Renly's answer, but Renly didn't hide it at all, so cruelly opened his mask and armor, quietly Staring silently at him covered in wounds.
The smile on the corner of his mouth rose slightly, but it was sad and helpless. Arthur quietly stared at the man called his younger brother on the other side of the table, "Renly, you know you're an asshole, right?"
