After hanging up the phone, William walked up to Sophie and Langdon and said apologetically, "I have to go. There are some things I need to deal with. I hope I can attend your wedding the next time we meet. It would be best if you could bring your child, my godson, with you. It would be very interesting."
"Go to hell, William. We will not have children before marriage," Sophie scolded with a smile.
Langdon, on the other hand, asked worriedly, "Did something happen? Does it have anything to do with us? William, please tell Sophie and me. I don't want anything to happen to Sophie. "
Sophie looked at William anxiously when she heard that.
William thought that if these two guys could stay together for a long time, they would really have children the next time they met.
So William pretended to be troubled and said seriously, "Something did happen. My people found out that the people of the Light Affairs Guild prepared 20 million dollars to give to Teabing. Although they don't know that Teabing is dead, you can imagine that the people of the Light Affairs Guild will not give up looking for the Holy Grail and Sophie. So I hope you can hide in Ireland for a while and wait for me to deal with the Light Affairs Guild."
Sophie and Langdon had personally experienced Teabing's murder and the madness of the white-haired fanatic of the Light Affairs Guild. They were now very afraid of the Light Affairs Guild. When they heard William's words, they quickly nodded and agreed.
William was happy that the two of them listened to him. It seemed that to deal with these Virgin Mary guys, they had to threaten them with their own safety and not give them a chance to talk.
William called the hotel he was staying at and booked a small private jet to fly directly to London. When William got off the plane at 4 p.m., the car of the Four Seasons Hotel in London was waiting for him at the airport. After getting in the car, William told the driver to go to Kensington.
At 4: 30 p.m., he met Prince Wilson, who was waiting for him outside Kensington Palace. They had not seen each other for many days. Wilson hugged William and said, "William, are you really going to see my grandfather? He hates it when people disturb him."
William looked at the concerned Wilson with a smile and said, "It's alright. I really have something important to ask His Majesty. It'll be fine."
When Wilson saw William's confident expression, he was no longer worried. "Let's go. Get in my car. I'll take you to Platinum Palace."
"Alright, thank you, Wilson."
"You're welcome, we're friends, William." The two of them giggled as they chatted in the car and headed towards the Platinum Palace.
It took them less than twenty minutes to reach the Platinum Palace. William and Wilson went through two security checks with a wooden box in hand. They were led by an old man who looked like a butler into the palace. After waiting for a few minutes outside the door, William and Wilson were informed that they could enter.
King Philip, Prince Charles, and Grand Duke Devon were waiting for William in a reception room.
Wilson, on the other hand, walked out after greeting King Philip, Prince Charles, and Grand Duke Devon.
King Philip was an old man in his eighties. However, he looked very energetic, probably because he had been working out and taking good care of himself. He was wearing a black suit, his hair was combed neatly, and his eyes were bright. When he saw William, he stood up with a smile.
William hurriedly approached him and greeted King Philip with an unfamiliar court etiquette according to the butler's instructions. King Philip smiled and reached out his hand to shake William's.
"Alright, little fellow from the Devonshire family, I now officially allow you to see me without the court etiquette the next time you see me. Just like how Baron Hunt does not need to take off his hat when he sees the King of England. This is a special privilege of the Earl of Devonshire family."
Philip's words made Grand Duke Devon and Prince Charles laugh. The two of them were helpless about William's ignorance of aristocratic etiquette. William was so rich. If he wanted to, he could definitely find a suitable etiquette teacher.
However, William's behavior today showed that this fellow did not care about aristocratic etiquette at all. He did not even care about the title of Earl.
The mockery from the three of them made William feel a little helpless. He really didn't want to live such a tiring life. There were too many rules for aristocrats. There were etiquette requirements for eating, speaking etiquette requirements, dressing requirements, walking requirements, driving requirements, and even requirements for the brand of body wash to use. God, just thinking about it made William feel tired.
I'll just be a rich man. I don't care about anything else. After the three of them laughed, Grand Duke Devon walked up to William and hugged him. He then patted William on the shoulder a few times. "Henry will be very happy if he knows about your current achievements. That's great. Welcome back to our big family. I hope you have time to visit Devonshire."
William smiled and nodded. "Alright, Your Excellency. I'll be sure to visit you when I have time. Thank you for your support last time. My mother also told me a lot about you and Henry's grandfather."
"Oh, William. Shouldn't you call me grandfather? I'm your real grandfather. "
William looked at Grand Duke Devin, who was pretending to be angry. He complained in his heart, "Damn grandfather. When my mother and I were poor, why didn't you come to me and say that you're my grandfather? It's because you saw that I'm rich and can inherit the title of Count that you came to me."
However, William was not stupid enough to say it out loud. That was how people were. It was normal to flatter the strong and trample on the weak. "Alright, grandfather. I'm very happy to see you."
The Grand Duke laughed heartily. "Very good. Remember to visit my manor more often."
As for Prince Charles, William only shook his hand and greeted him. After all, the relationship between the two of them had become very good after that show in front of the paparazzi. Otherwise, William would not have called Prince Charles as soon as he wanted to see King Philip.
After the butler and the servants served coffee and snacks, the four of them chatted for a long time while drinking afternoon tea. Only then did King Philip say, "Alright, William. Tell us why you're in such a hurry to see the three of us."
William pretended to look around hesitantly and looked at Prince Charles. Prince Charles immediately understood what William meant. "Don't worry. This is the palace. There are special imitation listening devices. It's very safe."
In fact, William had already scanned the place with his mental strength when they were having afternoon tea. However, the truth was that there were no listening devices as Prince Charles had said. On the contrary, there were many hidden cameras and listening devices.
After all, this was the first time William had come to see King Philip. The royal family did not trust William as much as they had imagined. His every move must be watched by many royal guards. William believed that as long as he made any abnormal movements, the guards waiting outside the door would immediately rush in.
William shook his head at Prince Charles. "I'm sorry, Your Highness. What I'm about to say is very, very important. Only the four of us can hear it. Henry didn't teach me much about other things, but he taught me everything about the secret service, so I'm sorry, but I can't say it here."
King Philip, Prince Charles, and Grand Duke Devonshire looked at William in surprise. King Philip and Grand Duke Devonshire looked at each other and understood. Could it be related to the secret that the Devonshire family had been guarding?
How could William be willing to reveal the secret of his family's survival? There must be something wrong here.
