Since he didn't have to bow to others, it would be interesting to attend some aristocratic gatherings in the future.
William walked to where the ladies were in a good mood. Looking at these aristocratic ladies who curtsied to him with smiles on their faces, he felt even better.
When he met a beautiful and somewhat familiar girl, he stopped to ask about her family and his situation. When Wilson finished asking everyone and turned to look at William, he was only halfway there.
After standing and waiting for almost five minutes, Wilson complained to William, who was standing half a step behind him, in a low voice, "The media will definitely mock you tomorrow. How can you not let go of a little girl's hand?"
"Who cares," William laughed and showed a proud expression. "I'm not a member of the royal family. I don't have to be as careful as you, and I don't have to be as cautious as the Grosvenor Grand Duke who made a fortune from real estate. I'm earning money from the rich."
"Just you wait, tomorrow's newspapers will be full of news about you falling in love with the rebellious little princess of the Crawford family," Wilson mocked in a low voice. "Be careful, buddy. Laura Crawford isn't that easy to get. She might punch you when you're not paying attention."
'Laura Crawford?'
William immediately turned to look at the girl who smiled sweetly. Seeing William turn to look at her, the girl named Laura lifted her skirt and curtsied to him again.
William, who had doubts in his heart, was immediately attracted by the sweet smile of the little beauty who looked only 17 or 18 years old. He couldn't help but return a smile that he thought was very handsome.
"Wait, Laura Crawford? That chick is called Laura Crawford. "
"You don't know?" Wilson looked at William strangely and teased, "I thought you've met before, buddy. You don't even know her and you're holding her hand. Do you have to be so impatient?"
"F * ck, I just think her smile is very beautiful," after quibbling, he thought for a while and said, "She's a lady from the Earl's family?"
"Of course, Laura's father is Earl Richard Crawford. He lives in Abingdon Crawford Manor in Surrey. What's wrong?"
Wilson looked at William, who was deep in thought, and said in surprise, "You don't really like Laura, do you, brother? If that's the case, I can only give you my blessings."
"Haha." William didn't answer. Instead, he looked at the militia. Fortunately, Laura wasn't the big-mouthed Angelina. She was only seventeen or eighteen years old. Her age didn't match. It should be a new version of the tomb.
Thinking like this, William quickly confirmed that the girl was the Laura he was thinking about. His interest in her couldn't help but decrease.
Laura Crawford was synonymous with super troublesome. Her father, Richard Crawford, was also a restless person. He didn't know if Earl Crawford had disappeared like what was described in the movie.
Putting aside the thought of flirting with the girl, William's attention quickly shifted to the militia that saluted him and Wilson.
Looking at the disorderly square formation, he complained in his heart, Are they really here to participate in the inspection?
Holding back his laughter, William struggled to hold on for more than ten minutes. He couldn't stand it anymore and complained to Wilson, "Coming to this inspection ceremony is definitely the stupidest decision I've made in the past few days.
How are these militia? In my opinion, these people are more like circus monkeys. "
Wilson hurriedly said without moving his lips, "You're crazy. We're in public now. If the media decipher your lip-reading, we'll be in big trouble."
"Haha, don't worry. You know that if I don't move my lips, would I be stupider than you?"
Hearing this, Wilson, who couldn't turn his head, was relieved. "It can't be helped. A team that doesn't need to go to the battlefield and doesn't have a specific mission is like this. You don't know, but the current situation is much better than a few years ago.
I've seen it on TV before. In some places, the militia was so scared by the sound of bronze cannons that they trembled and almost fell to the ground. "
"God, you call this a lot better? How bad could the previous team be? "
When he saw a few square formations wearing aprons and holding guns approaching, William immediately agreed with Wilson's words. This kind of inspection was indeed more like a parade.
Fortunately, the inspection only lasted for half an hour and ended quickly. Otherwise, William would have laughed out loud.
Walking down the rostrum, he was suddenly worried that he, the Duke of Oxford, would be obliged to inspect the local troops of Oxford County. He hurriedly asked Wilson behind him, "Do I have to participate in the inspection of Oxford County too?"
"Haha." Looking at William's lingering fear, Wilson couldn't help but laugh out loud. William glared at him and he held back his laughter. "Don't worry, as long as you don't hold a position in the local troops, you'll have nothing to do."
"That's good. God, if I were to do this again, I'd definitely complain to the media about these useless people. They're worse than primary school students in the East."
"Your Excellency the Duke of Devonshire." A voice unique to a young lady came from not far behind William and Wilson.
He didn't need to look to know that it was Laura Crawford.
The corner of Wilson's mouth twitched and he gave William an indecipherable smile. He seized the opportunity to tease William. "Your luck with women is here. I hope you won't be pricked by the wild roses of the Crawford family."
After saying that, he turned to Laura and smiled. "Good morning, Miss Crawford."
"Good morning, Your Highness Wilson, Your Highness William." Seeing the two turn to look at her, Laura immediately lifted her skirt and curtsied. She lowered her head for a few seconds and then looked up at William.
Looking at Laura's obviously inquiring gaze, William was sure that this girl didn't admire him, but came to find him with trouble.
"Good morning, Miss Crawford. How can I help you?"
"Mr. Devonshire, can I ask you a question?" Laura lifted her skirt and stood up. Seeing William nodding, she said, "The media reported that when you were in Westminster Abbey, you blindly sniped a sniper hiding behind the wall. Is that right?"
"That's right." William nodded.
"Then how were you sure that you could hit the other party?"
"I just casually fired a shot to try my luck. I didn't expect God to bless me and let me hit the target."
"Try your luck?" Laura thought for a few seconds and immediately pouted and looked up at William. "Mr. Devonshire, it's rude to deceive a lady."
"Stop, stop." William raised his hand to stop Laura. "Use your original way of speaking to me."
"But I've always been like this." Laura continued to pout.
"Haha, I don't believe that a nine-year-old girl who could walk out of the Great Snow Mountain alone in ten days would be a weak and obedient girl. Laura Crawford, didn't anyone tell you that you're unnatural when you pretend to be a lady?"
"Tell me, why are you looking for me?"
