Richard-de-vere was born into the family of the Earl of Oxford, England.

The Earl of Oxford is a member of the traditional title of England, whose history can be traced back to the distant thirteenth century. The family archives are rich and respected, and the relationship with the British royal family is extremely close, and in many important battles and struggles, they are all established. The royalists, who have made great contributions, have a lofty and noble status even in the contemporary era.

The 17th Earl of Oxford also founded the Oxford Man Company, a troupe that was at its peak and brilliant at the beginning of the 17th century, and it was even suggested later that Edward-de-vere was, in fact, not only William Shakespeare's Besides, most likely the real author of Shakespeare's plays.

However, after changing the surname twice, the title of Earl of Oxford was inherited by British Prime Minister Herbert-Henry-asquith in 1925; The line is inherited from the Marquis of Dublin.

Although the title of Marquis is one level higher than that of Earl, the dignity of the Marquis of Dublin can only be said to be mediocre, more like an honorary title. Among the five noble ranks, the title of Marquis has always been the least; now , the Marquis of Dublin no longer owns the territory, and the power is not what it used to be.

Despite this, the Marquis of Richard is still one of the most important members of the upper class in London, and has a close relationship with the royal family. His power and status are second to none. This is a true aristocrat - a family history that has been handed down, and a unique and distinguished social status. , and a prosperous family wealth and reputation.

Even in the 21st century, Richard de Weir can live at ease without a job and relying solely on the shadowy protection of his family.

George has been trying to get in touch with Richard for the past few months. Because Richard had just fired his trust fund manager in early February, and was very dissatisfied with the way he worked and the results; George wanted to win Richard to Barclays, where he worked, and then become his fund manager .

In fact, not only George, but also many other competitors, George has spent countless time and energy on this big client; but Richard is an eccentric and elusive person who has been in the past few months. In time, George couldn't even lock Richard's position, let alone sit down and talk face-to-face. Even through Arthur's connections, it was still extremely difficult.

Yesterday, George received a call from Richard's housekeeper to make an appointment for this afternoon. This made George ecstatic. After months of hard work, he finally broke through. Although it was just a meeting, it was an important first step. Everything was full of possibilities.

But...but the moment we met, it was a blow to the head.

Looking at Richard with a smile on his face in front of him, George Hall's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression did not change, but there was a deep bitterness in his heart, and they didn't even have time to have a good chat. The bitterness in his mouth made George's back muscles tense. How could he forget, Richard's preference.

It is worth mentioning that Richard inherited the preferences of the 17th Earl of Oxford and has a fanatical preference for drama. He has enjoyed large and small plays in the West End of London, and his taste is very picky. He will even go to Stockholm or Boston, just to watch a well-received drama.

Such fondness is not a rare secret among nobles. In the past few months, Richard has been traveling around in major cities in Europe, and his whereabouts are erratic.

Not hearing George's answer, Richard adjusted his position leisurely as if there was no difference in George's mood, and said with a smile on his face, "Why, do you still mind? Renly Hall, your youngest son, is it still a taboo subject?"

It's not that Richard doesn't know, but he doesn't care. For him, some aristocratic norms apply, some do not.

"Les Miserables aside, the 'Les Miserables' has received countless accolades. Even Alistair-Smith is completely surrendered, you know? I met Alistair and he's been watching back and forth. Three times. Jesus Christ, do you know how picky that old guy is? But after three times, three games, he's still full of praise, I can't imagine it. I just rushed back here."

Ignoring George, Richard babbled, just as the waiter brought the brandy up, he sighed again, "God, finally. The weather in Casablanca is very comfortable now, I'm enjoying my vacation, After coming back to London suddenly, I started to feel uncomfortable again. I have started to miss the sunshine there."

The air fell silent for a while. After Richard took two sips of brandy, he let out a long breath and showed a relieved expression.

George knew that it was his turn to speak, "This is London, disgusting, but always nostalgic." George showed a decent smile, "What's more, there is the West End here, who can refuse the West End? ? Casablanca has no West Side."

His muscles stiffened and his heart was bleeding, but George had to remain graceful. The so-called aristocratic connections are actually a double-edged sword. George can completely cut off Renly's career as an actor in London through his own connections; similarly, George must obey his connections and choose to bow his head and compromise at certain moments.

Even if you don't accept it, you have to endure it. To enjoy the respect brought by the title of aristocrat, one must accept the corresponding restraints. There will be gains and losses. This is the law of society. even if

With a loud slap in the face, George must also keep smiling.

"Ha. That's the truth." Richard laughed happily, and finally got his own satisfactory answer.

Rather than waiting for the other party to persecute further, it is better to take the initiative. Although the sense of shame has made George feel suffocated, the noble life is actually suffocating all the time. The ubiquitous rules and regulations make breathing become more cautious.

Therefore, George did not panic, but showed a warm and friendly reception, "The Almeida Theater version of 'Les Miserables' has indeed been a hot topic of discussion recently. How about it, is the Lord interested in going to watch it?"

George took the initiative to send an invitation. In fact, it was his only option; in that case, he might as well just follow the trend and win Richard over to finish the job he's been working on.

"Of course!" Richard's entire face bloomed, and he clapped his hands, "How about it, shall we go now?"

"Now?" George was mentally prepared, and his expression was unavoidable at this time. Richard's behavior was too abrupt and impulsive, and for the nobles, this was something they had been doing their best to avoid.

Richard didn't care, but nodded cheerfully, "Of course, do we still need to wait? Now that we have gone to the Almeida Theater, it only takes 20 minutes to arrive. We still have time to enjoy some snacks and exchange our thoughts. , If there is a chance, maybe I can meet the actors."

While talking, Richard didn't wait for George's approval. He gestured and summoned the waiter, "My coat and hat."

"Lord!" George couldn't help but panic.

Richard paused for a moment, "By the way, your box is still reserved, right?" Richard didn't seem to have any scheming - or he didn't care, and then said, "The Almeida Theater has only There are six aristocratic boxes, and everyone else has to line up to watch the show. I heard that one box belongs to the Hall family, right?"

The Almeida Theater is not a top-level theater. There are only six aristocratic boxes inside, four of which belong to the Hall family, the Hamilton family, the Dunlop family and the Dormer family, and the remaining two pass through Andre- The Hand of Hamilton was given to the two Dukes for their use.

The theater's tickets for the next three months have been sold out, and the aristocratic box has been booked early. Now is the time to witness the nobleman's long-sleeved dance ability. Everyone took the initiative to contact the six noble box owners to arrange their own theater schedule. If you control the box, you will control the social initiative in the recent period of time.

Eaton Dormer was the one with the weakest power and status among all the nobility box controllers, so he had arranged all the usage rights for the next three months early. By the way, his personal clothing brand has been strongly promoted, and Eaton has benefited from just two private parties.

The Hall's box, Renly gave to Arthur. This also makes Arthur the hottest party planner of late. He can be seen in almost every corner of London.

Richard's return to London was a little slower, and he had obviously missed a lot of opportunities. Therefore, today's meeting was born, and the meeting time was two o'clock in the afternoon, not three or three thirty, which is the usual time for afternoon tea, but two o'clock. In other words, if there is no box, there will be no follow-up.

After George realized this, his full of anger could not be vented, but turned into endless frustration, "Of course. But, I need to inform Arthur in advance, otherwise, if it is disrespectful, it will not be very good."

"Yes, yes." Richard didn't seem to care, but he didn't stop at all. "You can ask Arthur to see who is using the box today. Maybe, we can watch it together."

The implication is that even if the box is already used, Richard has to go. As a famous joker in London, Richard's behavior is not surprising.

"That's our honor." His mouth was full of bitterness and blood, and he could only swallow it in his stomach. George also stood up, nodded and greeted the waiter, then ignored his coat and hat, and immediately called Arthur "The Marquis of Dublin and I are now heading to the Almeida Theatre, anyone in the box, I mean, anyone, let them go, I don't care how you deal with it, we'll go over now."

After the explanation, George hung up the phone.

About two minutes later, Edith's cell phone vibrated, and a text message came: George was heading to the Almeida Theatre with the Marquis of Dublin.

"damn it."
