manor outside london
The earl's manor is located on the mountainside, but the surrounding area, including the mountain, belongs to the earl. A country road at the fork of the main road was built by the earl, and a gate signifies that this is a private territory.

Joseph was riding in a vehicle borrowed by the British government. Although the government's license plate cannot be said to be unobstructed, it is much more convenient. At least the first sentence of the security guard who came out was not to drive him away, but to ask.

"Sir, this is a private territory, outsiders are not allowed to pass through, what's your business?"

When the security guard spoke, he looked at the guard cautiously. Being retired from the military, he could clearly feel the murderous aura on the guard.

"My master is the heir of the Ragnar family, and this time he came to England to pay a special visit to the old Earl."

The Ragnar family?Some familiar, but where heard?The security guards of noble houses can't be casual, at least some people need to know, such as the family's friendly friends and hostile families, as well as some big families in the world.

The confusion on the face now is not because the Ragnar family can't be called a big family, nor is it because the Ragnar family hides too deeply, but because the royal family of the Principality of Nord has too many titles, which makes it easy for people to ignore the five members of the Ragnar family. Character.

For example, the British royal family, if you say Her Majesty the Queen, everyone may not know it, but if you say the Windsor family, then people may be taken aback for a while. For the same reason, the title of the royal family is so rich that the word Windsor becomes a foil.

Confusion flashed by. Although the security guard didn't remember the meaning of the Ragnar family in the end, he understood that the other party was of extraordinary background, so he didn't dare to stop him, but he couldn't let anyone in at will.

"Wait a minute, sir, I need to report."

Although the other party was apologetic, the guard was still very unhappy. After all, Joseph was the royal family of Nord, and he was qualified even to meet the queen, but now he was blocked from the door.The guard's unhappiness was not contained in his heart, but how could the security guard care about these details?
In fact, this time it was Joseph's fault. According to the procedure, he needed to notify in advance. It would be very impolite to come to the door suddenly, but there was no way to do it. After all, they didn't have each other's contact information.

The security guard reported the matter to the butler. The butler was naturally not as ignorant as the security guard, but even he was taken aback for a moment before realizing that the royal family of Nord was the Ragnar family.

The old earl was reading the newspaper when the butler entered the door. He was not young, and at the age of 80, he could still walk a dog and ride a horse. His physique was quite good among his peers.

However, although he is in good health, it is always uncomfortable for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person. The old earl has one son and two daughters, and the death of the heir has hit him hard, and at the same time, the family has caused waves of turmoil.

The British Nobility Act was passed in 1963, and women also have the right to inherit the title. However, in the case of the old earl, he would rather give the title to his nephew than let the title fall into the hands of outsiders in the future, but his daughter and son-in-law are obviously dissatisfied. What the old earl did, at this moment Joseph came to the door...

"The Ragnar family?"

"Royal Nord, my lord."

The butler's reminder made the old earl stand up in an instant, this is a big shot!But how could he come to England and visit himself?The old earl was very puzzled, but he also walked outside while being puzzled. After all, it is a royal family. It would be impolite and easy to cause misunderstanding if he stayed inside the house.

It’s true that Joseph is relatively young, but he can’t stand his noble status. Don’t say that he is an earl, even several old British dukes still have to wait at the door when they meet his visit.

"Where are Aphra and Anne? And Adonis and Aldrich, tell them to meet at the door, Barrow, prepare lunch..."

The arrival of Joseph obviously caused the entire Liverpool family to be in a mess. The noble ladies quickly dressed themselves up, and the servants arranged their formation and stood outside the door waiting for Joseph's arrival.

As an aristocrat, Joseph knew what his visit meant to the Liverpool family, so even if the security guard led the way, he walked slowly up the mountain, leaving time for the old earl to prepare.This is a matter of two people, and the two families cannot tolerate the slightest sloppy. They are not prepared to lose face for the Liverpool family, and Joseph has a bad face.

The driver had a good grasp of this kind of thing. When the car stopped at the gate of the manor, the old earl and his family were all ready, and they were standing in front of the manor and greeting Joseph with a smile.

The manor of the Liverpool family is more like a small castle than a manor. The century-old history has left some traces of class and war on its outer walls. Maybe it was a fortress a hundred years ago.

"Good morning, Lord Earl, please forgive Joseph for coming here."

"Your Highness is too polite. We welcome His Highness to come to the Liverpool family."

The old earl looks like a kind old man in appearance, but the results of the investigation are there. It is impossible for a kind old man to create a wealth of hundreds of millions of pounds, and the same kind old earl will not let his family be safe. Steady to today.

"Your Highness, this is my eldest daughter Aphra and son-in-law Adonis."

"Your Highness is well!"

Aphra is a beautiful young woman in her thirties. She has the obvious reservedness of a British aristocrat. Her beauty and wisdom made her famous in London more than ten years ago, and she was called the tulip of the Liverpool family.

"Hello, beautiful Miss Aphra."

Compared with Aphra, her husband Adonis seems a bit submissive.Similarly, because of his identity, Joseph didn't mean to greet him, but just nodded slightly, and the other party was obviously used to this kind of life.Although he was also of noble origin, his status as a declining nobleman was obviously not worthy of Joseph's attention.

Naturally, Joseph didn't know about Adonis' situation. He could see everything from the old count's face. If the other party had a high status, he wouldn't live here. If the status was high, the old count wouldn't just introduce a name.

"This is my youngest daughter, Anne, and her boyfriend, Aldrich, the second son of the Duke of Hollis, who is studying biomedicine at Oxford University."

Annie is only in her 20s, and she is equally beautiful, but she is indeed taking a different route... Youthful and cute, of course, most of Joseph's energy is still on her boyfriend.

"Hello, Your Highness!"

"I have long admired your name, Your Highness Joseph!"

Annie just saluted politely, but Aldridge responded with a sense of familiarity. It was obvious that he wanted to communicate with Joseph a few more times, and he did have the qualifications.

"Duke Hollis? Grandpa's diary seems to be..."

"His Majesty Ragnar I is indeed acquainted with his father. Your Highness, your father, His Highness Ragnar II, was also captured by the Japanese along with my brother."

Joseph raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that there was such a relationship between them, which would be better. If the Hollis family also had the same idea, it would be easier for him to break into the circle of the upper British aristocracy.
