Chapter 500 The 24th Grand Duke

Looking at William's confident look, Lina quickly calmed down. The title had returned to her family. As long as William didn't blame her for scheming against the old earl and thought that her mother was a vicious woman and alienated her, Lina really didn't care about anything else.

"It's best if you can understand. Let's go quickly, so as not to be too rude to be late." Lina took her son's arm and arrived at the Platinum Khan Palace in less than ten minutes this time.

Before getting off the carriage, he saw Wilson, who was wearing a straight dress, standing outside the main gate waiting for him.

The carriage was stable. William got off the car and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Wilson, who was smiling, and then helped Lina get off the carriage.

"Good morning, Mrs. Devonshire," Wilson smiled and greeted Lina, while Lina glared at William and curtseyed to Wilson.

William rolled his eyes, and his rolling eyes were quickly captured by the camera and transmitted to the eyes of thousands of households.

Many viewers who are mothers were immediately moved by William's unintentional eye roll, while many loyal supporters of the royal family were dissatisfied with William's failure to salute Wilson, who was of higher status than him.

In their minds, William was already an earl, and even if he couldn't bow, he should at least nod.

What made them even more unbearable was that William actually extended his hand before Wilson, and Wilson held William's hand without any displeasure,

as if William was the Duke of Cambridge and Wilson was the Earl of Oxford.

However, these people's ideas could not affect William. Those who wanted him to salute Wilson could go to hell. Even if he could really improve his title to Duke, if Philip asked him to kneel, he would definitely give up the title of Duke.

But what annoyed William was that his expression of rolling his eyes became an emoticon on the Internet before the next day, and many people used this expression that he wanted to delete immediately to mock others in the future.

Seeing Lina curtseying to him, Wilson smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Lina's hand, then immediately helped Lina up and whispered something in her ear, causing Lina to laugh and pat his arm while laughing.

This made the people in front of the TV very curious about what Wilson said to make Lina so happy, and the way he patted his arm seemed to be comforting.

Unfortunately, when Lina talked to Wilson, she turned her back to the camera, and even if she wanted to interpret it with lip reading, she couldn't. However, when she saw William scratching his eyebrows helplessly with his fingers later, everyone guessed that it must be related to William. Maybe Wilson was complaining to Lina about William.

"Let's go, mom, don't be fooled by this kid", William looked at Wilson helplessly. You bastard actually told Lina to protect him, and also spread rumors that William would definitely make trouble for him after today.

"OK. OK, William, you can't bully Wilson. He is two years younger than you. You have to let him go."

Let him go, roll your eyes, ignore the mother and Wilson who are talking and laughing, and walk to the main door first, led by the old butler who I met a few days ago, and come to the awarding hall.

What surprised William was that the whole hall was almost full of people except for the 2-meter passage in the middle.

When everyone saw William coming in, they all took the initiative to applaud him. Two knights wearing standard knight uniforms and sabres walked to William and saluted, and stretched out their hands to make a gesture of invitation.

He followed the two knights step by step, looked around and soon found that most of the people in the crowd were the people he rescued in Westminster Abbey a few days ago.

When he walked to the front row, he also saw the French General Kellner-Beken and the German General Agnes, and even the Grand Duke of Devin, who was rumored to be in very poor health.

After nodding to the three smiling people, William stood in front of Philip, without even looking at the cushion with a small armrest at his feet.

William certainly knew the function of the cushion and the small armrest. The cushion was for the nobles to kneel, and the small armrest on the right side of the cushion was for the kneeling person to hold the armrest so that he could keep his balance when kneeling straight, in case the king slapped the nobles' shoulders with the knight's sword and swayed his body and was scratched by the sword.

"Well, even if you don't want to follow the tradition, at least you have to be lower. I'm not as tall as you, Earl of Devonshire," Philip said with a smile.

The appearance of this cushion made William a little confused. He only inherited the title of Earl of Oxford today, not a new title. Not only did he not need to slap his shoulders with swords, let alone move the kneeling cushion.

William could accept the bow, after all, this kind of ceremony is very common in modern times. He took a half step back and only bent his waist about 30 degrees.

Many people at the scene wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

If someone doesn't mind, there must be someone who minds. He didn't stand up just because it was not convenient to question it out loud on this occasion.

Looking at William bending over, Philip hesitated for a while.

But when he saw the still young face in front of him, he remembered that it was this child who not only stood in front of him to save him, but also earned 30 billion US dollars at the age of less than 20.

Philip quickly put aside his concerns. The benefits of winning over William to the nobles far outweighed the empty courtesy of kneeling to him.

He thought silently in his heart that the difficulty faced by the royal family was no longer a question of whether to kneel or not, but a question of whether it could exist for a long time.

Now that William, a super money-making person, has joined, people all over the world will have to re-examine the English aristocratic system from today.

After understanding this, Philip turned around and picked up the knight's sword from the tray held by the servant behind him, and solemnly patted William on the shoulder twice.

"William Devinhill, in the name of the king, after the recommendation of the first Richard and all members of the cabinet, I officially grant you the title of Oxford Grandpa ..."

"What?" William was shocked in his heart. He couldn't help raising his eyelids and looked at the solemn Philip.

Philip followed, "It commended you to contribute to the British and all capital worlds twelve days ago. From today, you are the most trustworthy and loving partners in Britain."

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

Putting down the sword in his hand, Philip looked at the hall and asked, "Do you have any objections about this?"

No one spoke in half, Philip said with satisfaction, "So, William Devinhill, congratulations on becoming the 24th British Island's 24th Hereditary Grand Duke."

After speaking, Philip picked up the Grand Duke's round hat from a tray held by a Great Bishop and worn himself on William's head.

The real big man's head hit his head, which made William who was not prepared a little bit. When Philip patted it on his shoulder, he reacted, and his head bent over to salute.

Fortunately, when I saw the cushion under the eyelids, William was smashed with my head before waking up, and a little bent leg stood up immediately.

The Felipp and the person who could see him behind him laughed at him.

"You are lucky, kid", Philip took this William's shoulder again. "If most people in this hall have been rescued by you, even if you have the support of leaders in other countries, it is impossible ,,

Fortunately, the new British first Richard, nominated for me to grant you a hereditary title, otherwise, even if I agreed with everyone here, you can not be the Grand Duke, so children, you will not really be really God's illegitimate son. "

"Hehe", William stored his hands, "This can only be asked about the one in the sky."

"Well, I might have been known for a long time," Philip smiled, "Richard asked me to tell you that he and you were clear."
