Chapter 498

For nearly a week, the media and the public have been harassing about the death of the old Earl of Oxford, and finally calmed down after the old Earl presented the medical certificate given by Oxford Medical School.

Since there is no taste of conspiracy, the focus of people and the media is back to William's succession to the earl.

After confirming that the old Earl's death was caused by accident, the aristocratic Council finally gave William a notice after several days, asking him to register in the aristocratic Council at 10 a.m. three days later and formally inherit the Earl of Oxford.

Within half an hour after the news reached William, it was broadcast by the media. At that time, the titles of the richest Earl in the world, the most handsome nobleman in the world, and the nobleman with the most land in England were all on his head.

Even Devonshire castle built a 140 acre horse farm with more than 230 pure blood horses.

According to the people who are engaged in the horse industry, it will cost at least 50 million pounds to buy the 230 best sweaty horses on the market this year. In addition, William also spent another 50 million pounds to build a super five-star horse farm for these horses. All the people who got the news on that day looked like hell.

These days, people who own more than a dozen thoroughbred horses are considered to be the owners of the horse, not to mention William, who takes 100 as a unit and doesn't take money at all.

However, some people in England can not accept that there is no English Thoroughbred horse in Devonshire.

is the only horse that is not sweat blood or the black Arabia horse owned by William's mother. Many people make complaints about how much William loves Asian horses.

As soon as the news came out, William immediately became the most enthusiastic supporter of sweat blood horse in the world.

Without waiting for the public and the media to ridicule William for not knowing horses and only looking at his appearance but not his achievements, the English media turned over the story of red rabbit's winning two first-class speed Championships one after another during this period of time.

for a time, red rabbit, who was only known in the English horse racing world, soon became famous in the world horse world, waiting for the horse fans to learn about red rabbit's success in September In England's St. Regis championship, the price of the red rabbit immediately increased by more than ten times. Only a few days later, a prince of the desert tyrant tried to contact William. He even joked and told reporters that William was willing to pay 20 million pounds for the red rabbit.

However, the prince said that in the end, he had no choice but to stand up and say that no one could buy the belongings of the super rich, who are worth more than $30 billion.

As soon as the interview was broadcast, people immediately turned their attention to the horse, because 99% of the people were deeply attracted by the prince's saying that William was worth more than $30 billion.

Many people read the newspaper two months ago, which clearly says that William's worth is only about $14 billion. When they look at the newspaper they just read, a sense of powerlessness can't help but spread all over the body.

Of course, the slightly knowledgeable people all know that the figure of 14 billion is not accurate, but even if it is not accurate, they can't accept it. Only two months later, a local tyrant Prince foolishly told them that William earned $16 billion in two months. We are crazy and you are a fool.

...

time passes quietly in the discussion about William's worth.

At 8:30 a.m. three days later, William, wearing a black tuxedo, white shirt, black vest and black bow tie, gave his left hand to his mother, who had been back in London for several days,

waving goodbye to Abigail, who was a little reluctant to smile, walked out of the main building of the manor and got into a carriage marked with the deer head emblem of Devonshire family and pulled by four horses.

There were not only carriages, but also dozens of riders, wearing knightly dresses, bright gold metal helmets and the flag of the Earl of Oxford.

William didn't worry about these honor guards at all. They were all run by Royal professionals. All he had to do was to sign in a carriage.

Nowadays, there is not so much red tape in succession. You just need to go to the aristocratic Council to make a registration, and then go to the Buckingham Palace to meet Philip, and issue official documents. Even if the succession ceremony is completed, you have to go back to your own fiefdom to celebrate.

But the feud of the Earl of Oxford is the 3000 acre land William bought before. If you sell it once and buy it again, the land is yours. But if you want to collect taxes on the 3000 acre land, you'd better wash it and go to bed early.

Nowadays, apart from a small tax, there is no difference between the feudal land and private land, so William doesn't care whether it's a feudal land or not.

the most important thing is that it's not something he can have if he wants to have it. It's just a matter of asking for trouble, and he doesn't live on the tax on the feudal land.

Moreover, if you can be promoted to Duke, you will have to give up the tax rights on 34000 acres of land, otherwise it will add a lot of difficulties to the promotion.

As for wearing the Earl's full dress, Royal experts told him and his mother Lina that except for the collective celebration ceremony, they would be laughed and hated if they wore it out.Everything's ready. The team starts. It's not far from his house to the aristocratic Council. It's only twenty minutes by coach.

To William's surprise, from his carriage out of the manor, he saw Londoners and tourists on both sides of Kensington Garden Street and on the road to the aristocratic Council, who visited and waved to him.

looking at the smiles and flags on the faces of the citizens, William didn't feel like a monkey.

This made his mother Lina very excited, holding William's arm shaking. For her, she had been waiting for this moment for nearly ten years.

Thinking of his mother's risk in order to inherit the title, William was moved and grateful. He patted Lena's hand and said, "Mom, don't get excited. Many people are watching."

"I know, I know, I'm just so happy," Lena took a few deep breaths, relaxed, and then her face showed a bright smile. "I'm proud of you, my child.".

"Ha ha, I'm the one to thank, mom. Without you, there's me now." William grabs the mother's hand and says gratefully.

They wave all the way to the audience and come to the aristocratic Council. William and other attendants in traditional English attendants open the door and get out of the carriage first to help his mother get out of the carriage.

He waved to the camera not far away and the audience on the street, and then walked into the aristocratic Council under the guidance of the people.

Swearing, signing, constantly signing, but William signed all these documents after his personal lawyer Anthony and his team read them.

After all the procedures were completed, and the staff of the noble Council and some spontaneous humanitarian thanks came to cope with these,

William asked his mother to stay with them, and walked to the haggard old count's widow who looked just over 30. "Thank you for everything, Ms. Marguerite.".
