Chapter 1317 This woman was printed on the £1 banknote.
The high-ranking officials and nobles watching all discussed among themselves that everyone had tried to covet other people's property, but they always did it secretly. Who would dare to bring such a thing out into the open? Wouldn't that be asking for their reputation to be ruined?
The Duke of Bedford, enraged, roared.
"So, your Norfolk family looks down on our Bedford family, daring to smear us. Our two families have been getting along for nearly two hundred years, and your mother is my cousin. We've never had any conflicts."
Are you trying to ruin our families by making these baseless accusations? Arthur, you're still young. Take my advice, you elder, and marry Rose. Then hand over the business to me to manage. That way, your Norfolk family can continue to exist. Otherwise…”
Arthur sneered.
"Otherwise what? Can you kill me?"
The Duke of Bedford shook his finger and laughed heartily.
“No, no, no, you are my son-in-law, how could I kill you? It’s just that I heard you have a mental illness and need to be hospitalized. Since you have no elders, I, as your father-in-law, will have to decide to send you to a mental hospital for treatment.”
Da Bao laughed as he listened. This idiot was being far too presumptuous! How could a duke like him send another duke to a mental hospital? In front of so many dignitaries? Wasn't that just wishful thinking?
Suddenly a woman walked up to him, leaned against the railing with him, and asked softly with a smile.
"What's wrong? Child, what are you laughing at?"
Da Bao turned his head and saw that it was the woman he had seen at the Graff Jewelry Store. He looked back in surprise and saw two men in black suits standing not far away, who should be the lady's bodyguards.
Da Bao was puzzled. Even though he hadn't released his consciousness, with his Grandmaster-level keen senses, he hadn't heard the woman's voice at all. How could this not be strange to him?
"Madam, is that you? What brings you here all of a sudden?"
The woman waved her hand, and Da Bao then realized what was going on. The wall behind him suddenly cracked silently; it turned out to be a movable wall.
"Today is Arthur's engagement day, and as his aunt, of course I have to come and congratulate him. I've been resting over there, but I heard there's something exciting to see here, so I came out."
Da Bao didn't think much of it and pointed to the Duke of Bedford below.
"That idiot's gone mad! He actually wants to send Arthur to a mental hospital. Isn't that blatant murder for money in front of everyone? Does he think he can get away with something so blatant by the Prime Minister and the Queen?"
The woman smiled, her voice tinged with bitterness.
"I'm afraid he really can do it. Tonight, some councilors are holding an emergency meeting to try to remove Arthur from his dukedom. Without the dukedom, how can Arthur possibly defeat Bedford?"
Da Bao was taken aback.
"How could this be? A long-established duke, just like that, has his title revoked? Doesn't that require royal approval?"
The woman nodded.
"It does require royal approval, so two hours ago, Prince Charles personally signed and stamped this release report. Now, as long as the Queen signs it, the report will be effective."
Da Bao curled his lip and said disdainfully.
"Is Prince Charles an idiot? How could he just agree to this termination report? And if the Queen also signs it, then I can only conclude that the Queen's whole family is abnormal, they're all mentally ill."
The woman paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled, and at that moment, she gave Da Bao a sense of imposing presence...
Arthur laughed too, and the dignitaries around him all looked at the Duke of Bedford as if he were a fool.
Ruth had already put down the knife, and she said with a stern face.
“Arthur, my father is right. Only if you marry me will you have a backer and won't be swallowed up by others. Let me tell you clearly, the reason my father and brother are here is because…”
The reason for this is that Parliament has just passed a report stating that, given your recent series of erratic behavior, Parliament has reason to believe that you have been doing things that endanger the security of England, and therefore you have been stripped of your title.
Come here and embrace your fiancée, or you'll find only a cold iron bed and bags full of drugs.
Arthur was taken aback.
"You're talking nonsense. I'm also a member of Congress. Why didn't anyone notify me of the meeting? Besides, there are at least ten members of Congress here. So who is organizing this meeting?"
The Duke of Bedford said with a cold laugh.
"The House of Lords has 780 members, with nearly 400 in session, exceeding the quorum of half. Therefore, this report is valid. It has been delivered to Prince Charles, who has given his approval. Once Her Majesty the Queen has reviewed it, the report will take effect immediately."
Arthur, you don't have much time left, less than an hour. Decide quickly, or I'll have to resort to force.
After speaking to the Duke of Bedford, he winked at the naval captain. The captain waved his hand, and a series of footsteps sounded as a group of well-equipped special forces soldiers, led by a man wearing a beret, entered.
The woman next to Da Bao's expression changed. She beckoned with her finger, and a man in black quickly approached. The woman whispered a few instructions, and the man in black nodded and turned to leave.
Da Bao glanced at her in surprise. When the special forces soldiers entered, his consciousness had already spread out, enveloping the entire hotel. He clearly heard the woman instruct the man in black to call in the security detail.
Da Bao suddenly realized why he had always felt a sense of familiarity with this woman. Oh my god! Because this woman was printed on the one-pound note!
Queen Elizabeth II is the longest-reigning Queen of England. It's like her past life ended, but she's still alive and well.
When the Empress saw Da Bao's surprised expression, she realized that this slow-witted boy had finally guessed her identity. Strangely enough, she actually liked this clever and quirky child very much.
"You only just recognized me? Well, you've never used a one-pound note before, have you? You little rascal."
Da Bao quickly threw the gun in his hand to the man in black standing behind him. No matter how arrogant he was, he couldn't possibly be chatting with Queen Elizabeth while holding two submachine guns.
"Your Majesty, there are too many people here, so I won't bow to you."
The Queen chuckled, "This child is really adorable," she asked with concern.
"Is Aymu about to give birth? I promised her I would visit her..."
