Chapter 394: The Angry Duke George

At this moment, Prince Charles began to seriously examine Old Murdoch.

He had heard a couple of days ago that his sister had a boyfriend, but he hadn't been able to meet him yet. Today, he finally did.

Isn't it said that people of Asian descent are all uncivilized? How come they're so rich?

Even if he were a prince, it would be the first time I'd ever seen someone offer hundreds of tons of gold as a dowry to marry a wife.

Even if he were the Crown Prince of Great Britain, he wouldn't dare to do something like that!

Even though this brother-in-law is of Asian descent, he wouldn't dare to underestimate him.

"Father, where is Mother? Why can't we see her?"

Princess Anne walked up to Prince Philip, took his hand, and asked in a coquettish tone.

Upon hearing this, both Prince Philip and Prince Charles looked displeased.

It's all your doing. You cut off the Duke of George's son's hand.

At this moment, at the Duke of George's house, the Duke looked at his son, who was missing an arm, lying in a hospital bed, his face pale.

Duke George was heartbroken.

Yes, Mark was personally escorted back by the Queen.

At this moment, the muscles on Duke George's face twitched incessantly, and his fists were clenched tightly.

"Your Majesty, please tell me, who did this?"

The Queen stood there calmly and said, "Duke George, please calm down. Lieutenant Mark got into this mess because he went to fight someone in the ring. At the time, I thought he would win."

I wanted to stop him at the time, but when I saw how angry Mark was, I figured he wouldn't be able to vent his anger unless he beat that guy up.

So I didn't stop him beforehand. I just didn't expect that he would become like this in such a short time.

This is the art of speaking—speaking entirely from your perspective.

It means I also wanted Mark to beat that guy up, but unexpectedly, Mark lost.

In fact, the Queen was telling the truth; she wanted Mark to beat up old Merkel.

This Asian man is too arrogant; we need to teach him a lesson.

I really didn't expect Old Mo to be so amazing.

Sure enough, after hearing her say that, Duke George's anger subsided a little.

"Your Majesty, please tell me, who exactly is that person?"

The Queen calmly said, "Duke George, this is what happened..."

The Queen then recounted the events and revealed Old Mo's identity.

Then he said, "Duke George, I am heartbroken by Mark's current state. But what's done is done. You can name your terms. Please let this matter rest, okay?"

Duke George dared not disrespect the Queen, but he was so angry that he could hardly contain himself.

"Your Majesty, my son has had his lover stolen, and now his arm has been severed. Are you just going to let this go?"

The Queen said, "What can be done? It's already happened. What do you expect me to do?"

Duke George said coldly, "Hand over that yellow-skinned pig so I can deal with it, and that's the end of it."

"impossible."

The Queen's voice also turned cold.

"This is a normal duel, and it was your son who proposed it. Neither you nor I can do this. If this condition is unacceptable, you can propose other conditions."

"Your Majesty, this is my only condition. I cannot agree to anything else."

"That's what Duke George said firmly."

"well……"

The Queen sighed and said, "Duke George, please propose other conditions! This condition won't work; not only me, but no one will agree to it."

George was furious when he heard that.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean? Are you trying to protect him? He's just a person of Asian descent, isn't he?"

The Queen smiled and said, "Well then, Duke George, you can go to the Prime Minister and his men. If more than half of them agree to your conditions, I will grant them. If not, please, Duke George, propose other conditions. OK?"

Duke George was stunned for a moment, looking at the Queen in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, have you spoken with them?"

The Queen shook her head and said, "Don't worry, I won't do that. They probably don't know about this yet! Alright, it's settled then. Take care, Duke."

After the Queen finished speaking, she and her entourage left.

Duke George stood there, looking completely distraught.

What did the Queen mean by that?

He's just a yellow-skinned pig; if it weren't for the Queen protecting him, who would even know him?

Duke George didn't dare linger for a moment and hurried off to find the Prime Minister and the others.

Yes, the Queen's think tank, which we call the Cabinet, is called the Privy Council here. It is the official advisory body to the British monarch, composed of senior politicians, judges, church leaders, and others, and is responsible for handling important national affairs.

In exercising her constitutional duties, the Queen usually acts on the advice of the Privy Council. These are the most powerful people in the British Empire.

Duke George didn't listen to the Queen because Old Murdoch was the Queen's future son-in-law, and he had to avoid any appearance of impropriety.

So the Queen passed the buck to those people. If those people also want to protect Old Murdoch, then Duke George probably won't have anything to say.

Duke George refused to believe it. Even if the Queen wanted to protect a yellow-skinned pig, those people wouldn't.

No, those people wouldn't even let Princess Anne marry a man of Asian descent.

Therefore, the Duke of George believed that he had the upper hand in this round, and the advantage lay with him.

Duke George arrived at the Privy Council quickly by carriage and met with Prime Minister James without incident.

"Your Excellency, you must help me! My son Mark's right hand has been chopped off!"

In fact, James had known about this for a long time. If he hadn't known after all this time, he wouldn't have been able to become prime minister.

"Ugh."

James sighed and said, "Duke George, I've heard about your son's situation, and it pains me greatly! What do you intend to do about this?"

Upon hearing this, Duke George immediately perked up; it seemed there was hope!

He quickly said, "Your Excellency, I want that yellow-skinned pig dead! How dare that yellow-skinned pig cut off my son's hand? He must pay with his life."

Upon hearing this, James's face showed a troubled expression.

If you kill him, what will happen to our gold? Are you kidding me?

James hesitated before saying, "Duke George, this yellow-skinned pig is no ordinary person. He's about to marry Princess Anne, and he'll be granted the title of Prince. So, it's unrealistic for you to want his life."

"What?"

Duke George stood up in shock.

"He's marrying Princess Anne and even going to grant him a princely title? What gives him the right?"

That's a prince, even higher than him, a duke.

Isn't this a complete reversal of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches?
