Members of the Royal Family

  "Of course, beautiful Miss Ella."

  Barron's predecessor also participated in many dances, so ballroom dances such as waltz were not a problem at all for him.

  After the girl gently raised her hand, he made a gentleman's salute, half held the other's green hand, and the two walked to the dance floor.

  It has to be said that Gabrielle's dancing is indeed elegant and skillful. Under her guidance, Barron's memory of his predecessor was revived, and he gradually entered the state of mind from being a little unfamiliar at the beginning.

  "Your Highness the Duke, your movements are very standard. I am really happy to meet you today."

  After the dance, Gabriel said to Barron softly.

  "Just call me Barron, Miss Ella. I'm honored to meet you. I've always heard that the Kent family has beauties. When I saw them today..." "

  Are you disappointed?"

  "Of course not, I can only say that it's true. You are truly the most dazzling one in the ball."

  Although she knew that there was more flattery in Barron's words, Gabrielle was still very happy. She took the champagne glass handed over by Barron and smiled sweetly. Sweet smile:

  "So you have recognized me

  a long time ago..." "To be honest, I was just surprised at first. It wasn't until you told me your name that I thought it was you."

  Of course, his words are different from the facts. The difference is not big, because he has realized that because his predecessor was not interested in the aristocratic tradition and those families, these have become Barron's weaknesses in participating in social activities at this time.

  Therefore, before attending the ball this time, he asked Yulia to find the information he could collect about nobles, celebrities and their family members, including some photos.

  Fortunately, Barron's memory at this time seems to have been strengthened after coming to this time and space. After reading the information several times, the effect of "cramming" is still very obvious. During the dance, many people's faces can be connected with the information.

  This includes the girl in front of him now, Gabrielle Windsor, who was born in the royal family.

  She is the great-granddaughter of King George V - Gabriel's grandfather was the Duke of Kent, George V's fourth son, so her father is the Queen's cousin.

  The Kent family now lives in Kensington Palace, where many members of the royal family live. Although she was born in the royal family, Gabrielle's father is Prince Michael and the Duke of Kent. As the youngest daughter, she still has a noble status, but she can no longer be called For the princess.

  After all, up to now, the Kent family can only be regarded as marginal members of the royal family. For example, Gabriel is still theoretically one of the heirs to the British King, but he can only be ranked 50th in the succession...

  And in this year's British Parliament, As royal family expenses begin to be reduced, other than immediate royal family members, such as the Kent family, who continue to live in Kensington Palace will have to pay rent at the market price - about 12,000 pounds per month!

  The reason given by the parliament is: Kensington Palace has aged and the rent paid by the princes and princesses living there is nothing compared to the annual maintenance cost of 17.8 million pounds.

  "Is Miss Ella in school now?"

  "Since I call you Barron, you can just call me Ella..."

  Gabriel's face turned slightly red under Barron's deep gaze, and she gently He flipped his hair and said,

  "I'm studying at Oxford University now. I just had a vacation. I came here with my sister today..." "

  Wow, you are really amazing, Ella. It turns out that you are not only beautiful, but also beautiful." Full of wisdom, really enviable..."

  In this way, the two chatted happily and exchanged contact information with each other.

  "Miss Windsor, I'm sorry to disturb you, but I will lend His Highness the Duke for a while. Don't worry, I will return it to you soon..."   

  At some point, Viscount Bute appeared next to the two of them. His words made Gabriel smile shyly:

  "You are free to do as you wish, Lord Bute. I'll go see my sister. I won't disturb your conversation."

  Seeing her saying goodbye to the two of them and leaving in a dignified manner, Viscount Bute winked at Barron and said,

  "A noble and charming girl, isn't she? If I hadn't gotten married, I would have been fascinated by her. Your Highness, Duke, I think We should have a good talk."

  "That's exactly what I hope."

  Walking through the hall with Ian Butt, Barron could once again feel the other person's popularity in this social circle. There were always people Greeting him.

  There are other nobles among them, including wealthy businessmen, bankers and politicians. It can be said that in these aspects, Barron needs to increase his connections more.

  "Please take a seat, Your Highness the Duke."

  Finally finding a quiet corner and sitting on the sofa across from him, Ian Butt said:

  "Regarding the land in King's Cross, I know your idea is to cooperate in development. , so I have an opportunity today and would like to hear your opinion."

  "Actually, Lord Bute, my idea is to develop that land. As for whether to cooperate with other people or develop it alone, there is no final decision. It needs to be determined, and whether it is necessary to start development there immediately requires continued evaluation."

  After hearing Barron's words, Viscount Bute frowned slightly, and he looked at Barron:

  "I feel that the distance between us has taken a big step back, Your Highness the Duke."

  "My attitude at all times is that cooperation is based on candidness. Your Excellency, after I obtained certain information about King's Cross, , I am a little pessimistic about the prospects of our cooperation."

  Under Barron's gaze, he caught the instant dilation of Viscount Bute's pupils, and he still replied with a calm voice:

  "I can understand that there are always some noises to disturb us. Before the news is finalized, risks still exist..." "

  I have talked about King's Cross with His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales before, and he is very interested in it. You know, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been interested in it. Architecture...well, I am very interested in the neoclassical styles, and he has also considered trying it in the renovation project of abandoned gas storage tanks."

  Barron turned to this topic, and Viscount Bute's expression finally changed. After a slight change, he sighed and said:

  "To be honest, Your Highness the Duke, no matter what the initial cooperation conditions I proposed for that land, after meeting you, I think we will be very compatible. ...Friend, I very much hope to establish friendship with you. I can guarantee that no matter your choice of partner or other options, among these, our family will be the most sincere one. Of course, these are all needs It will take time to get confirmed by each other. I hope that after this, we will be open and honest about cooperation and sincere." "I agree with this.

  In my choice, I also tend to find a partner to jointly develop there. After all, in We are newbies in the real estate industry, which is why I hesitate to rush to develop that land in the short term. You know, the land will always be there. It doesn't make much difference to me whether we start sooner or later. , but if there is a suitable partner, then the final decision-making balance will definitely tilt."

  "So..."

  Viscount Bute reached out to Barron:

  "I think we should start over. With the greatest sincerity, I can What I want to reveal is that the surrounding area of ​​the land is not that simple, and the areas involved will be very wide."

  Looking at the other person's extended hand, Barron looked at each other and Ian Butt, and finally shook hands with him. :

  "I prefer a win-win situation, Your Excellency, rather than being alone, especially when what is taken away belongs to us." "

  I look forward to working with you more candidly, but today has taken up too much of your time. , I saw that the ladies and ladies have been looking here frequently. I wish you a good night, Your Highness the Duke. "
