Chapter 563: Stepping on a landmine precisely

Time pushes forward a little, back to when the Lionheart carriage was still stuck on the road.

Seeing that the important guests had all arrived, but that crucial Lionheart carriage had not appeared with the new Duke, the new head of the Bobby Laien family and the only remaining clan elder were almost anxious to the point of madness.

"Is Old York senile!"

Not knowing that the old steward, who was also one of the "Three Elders of Bobby Laien," had already had a heart attack under the torture of someone's "elementary school sentence making" and had been carried away to the hospital, and having waited for a long time without seeing the new Duke return, the head of the family, who was fat and bloated and wearing a specially made large tuxedo, couldn't help but complain:

"He said he had served the old Duke for so many years and had experienced all kinds of special occasions, so there would definitely be no problems. I only agreed to let him arrange it. As a result, it was just a small matter of taking people out and sitting in a carriage to come back, how could he miss the time?"

"Don't be anxious, wait a little longer."

Compared to the new head of the Bobby Laien family, the Bobby Laien clan elder was clearly able to keep his composure better. After sending two attendants to urge them, he wrinkled his gray eyebrows and said:

"That new Duke of ours is different from the old Duke; he is a person from the bottom who has never received aristocratic education. It is inevitable to make some mistakes in an ceremony of this scale. Now we can only believe in Old York, give him a little more time."

"Give him more time, then who will give us more time?"

Aiming through the gap between the curtain tassels at the hall and discovering that some guests already had impatient expressions on their faces, the Bobby Laien head couldn't help but sigh, his expression quite annoyed as he said:

"If I had known that even this could go wrong, I wouldn't have set so many procedures before, and wouldn't have tortured him twice more. It wouldn't have made the time so tight, and wouldn't have left no room at all!"

"Don't be anxious, the more it is at this time, the more you need to keep your composure."

After picking up the tea by his side and drinking it slowly, the Bobby Laien clan elder took out a handkerchief from his bosom, wiped the tea stained on his white beard, and persuaded with a peaceful voice:

"The new Duke is a somewhat reckless person, and he doesn't know how to be a qualified noble at all. To make him cooperate with us actively, we must first let him understand that even if he is the Duke of Lionheart, for the Bobby Laien family to continue, we three must help."

"So it's a good thing that the ceremony is a bit tedious, just to grind his temper, let him know our importance. If we don't make a move to arrange it, he can't even handle the title succession ceremony. That way, he will know his place when getting along in the future."

"That's true..."

Somewhat persuaded by the clan elder's words, the Bobby Laien head hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

"Okay! Then everything will follow the previous plan. You continue to send people to urge, I will go to the front hall first to stabilize those guests who have been waiting anxiously."

"Hmm, go."

When the Bobby Laien two elders reached a consensus, one arranged for people to find the new Duke, and the other tried his best to stabilize the guests, watching the constant passage of time, but never seeing the ceremony start, the guests on the first floor of the main building had already waited to the point of extreme impatience.

"Hehe, the pomp of our new Duke is truly quite grand!"

Looking at the gradually furrowing brows of the people around, a certain Earl, a "small fry" who became famous in the Wang capital because of Leon, couldn't help but say sarcastically:

"Everyone here has marriage ties with the Bobby Laien family, many are of the same generation as the old Duke, and down the line, half of them are his elders, some even two generations older than him.

Giving face to the old Duke's recent passing, we elders got up early to support him, rushed over to attend the ceremony through the stars and the moon, and as a result, we just wait here dryly?" The "small fry" Earl's statement, although too obvious, almost wrote the words "I am looking for trouble" on his face.

But firstly, everyone was a group of crows who smelled the rotten smell of interests and came to share the "Bobby Laien corpse," and they all knew each other's "ingredients," so there was no need to pretend to be dignified;

Secondly, getting up early to rush over to attend the ceremony, only to be left here for a long time without reason, naturally made everyone very dissatisfied. After the small fry Earl finished speaking, not only did no one oppose, but some even took the initiative to echo.

"Indeed, the Bobby Laien family has done a bit poorly this time."

"I'm afraid it's not that they did poorly, but that they didn't take us marriage ties seriously at all, right?"

"After all, they are the two pillars of the kingdom, why would they take us small nobles seriously?"

Under the deliberate instigation of those with ulterior motives and the intentional cooperation of a group of people with their own ghosts, when the Bobby Laien head came out from the backstage, the entire hall was already in chaos, and all kinds of direct accusations and sarcasm were endless.

"Everyone! Everyone, please be quiet, please listen to me first!"

Hearing the tidal condemnation in the hall, the cold sweat on the Bobby Laien head's back came down, and he hurriedly raised his volume and shouted:

"Sorry, sorry, today's ceremony was indeed a bit rushed, and the Duke was also delayed on the road because of some things. It is really our Bobby Laien family's lack of preparation that neglected all the distinguished guests.

But the reason for this is also to thank everyone for their visit, so it was specially prepared to be more grand. It's just that this process is complicated, so it's inevitable that there will be mistakes. I hope all relatives and friends will look at the friendship of the past and try to be more tolerant.

And besides everyone, also present are Lady Ani representing Prime Minister Lei Lei Nade, and Prince Joshua representing the Princess, so I ask everyone to give these two distinguished guests some face, and be a little more patient. I thank everyone for your tolerance here!"

After the Bobby Laien head finished speaking, the hall, which was originally noisy, suddenly became quiet again.

Nothing else, this remark, although a bit rushed, was truly effective in controlling the situation.

Apologizing and admitting mistakes to appease emotions without saying a word, then using a "being late is not intentional neglect, but because of too much respect for you" to control the scene, directly crawling back to the moral high ground with hands and feet.

Then, by pointing out that the Prime Minister and the Princess are also present, it means that making trouble again is not giving face to the Prime Minister and the Princess, suppressing people like the small fry Earl who wanted to make trouble, and finally bowing to thank everyone for their tolerance, completely blocking the option of "intolerance."

Regarding this, it can only be said that the Bobby Laien Three Elders were able to take power after the Bobby Laien Blood Night and become the actual controllers of the Bobby Laien family, not just by being old, but by truly having some skills. This small combination of moves played in a rush was enough to prove the Bobby Laien head's mouth strength.

The pity is that the Bobby Laien head's words, while successfully appeasing 99% of the people, only angered the most troublesome one among them.

"I am not anyone's representative!"

Hearing "Prince Joshua representing the Princess," the gorgeously dressed youth standing at the forefront of the guests, who was chatting with the Prime Minister's wife, couldn't help but sink his face, then ignored the secret pulling of his female companion, and refuted impolitely:

"Pay attention to your words! If you really want to talk about representation, then what I represent is the royal family, not anyone else!"
