The First Successor
Catherine had long noticed this extraordinary man!
The other ladies and gentlemen were holding brandies in twos and threes, socializing everywhere and talking loudly!
However, this man did not care about the dignitaries at the banquet at all, nor did he have the intention to curry favor with them!
It seemed that in his opinion, nothing was more important than eating!
That was why he was eating so heartily without any regard for his image!
To a noble lady like Catherine, who had received an aristocratic education since she was young and was particular about etiquette and manners, she had a special charm!
He was used to seeing elegant gentlemen with gentle smiles, but they were scheming and scheming behind their backs!
Catherine was not interested in the nobles who had two different ways of doing things in front of and behind people!
Therefore, in the eyes of the group of noble young masters, ignoring them was cold and unreasonable, as if they were born kings who needed others to worship and flatter them!
Dai Anlan's behavior seemed more like a display of his true nature, which attracted her attention!
If Dai Anlan knew that this cold-faced princess of the British Empire actually thought this way, he would probably lose all his integrity!
These so-called upper-class nobles of the British and Indian countries had no interaction with him at all. What conversation was there?
Moreover, there was no exchange of interests between the two sides so far. In Dai Anlan's opinion, this group of so-called nobles who pretended to be human and dogs were not as useful as the food on the table!
At the very least, the delicacies on the table could make Dai Anlan's appetite increase!
He had not eaten anything good for a long time, so he naturally ate and drank freely!
When the Governor of India, Wei Weier, saw Catherine looking at Dai Anlan with interest, he took the opportunity to introduce Dai Anlan's achievements to her!
He praised him as the Eastern General Wellington, the most outstanding commander, and would definitely go down in history in the future!
Even Dai Anlan himself did not know about these honorary titles. They were all added by the Governor himself to glorify Dai Anlan!
It could be seen that Wei Weier was very optimistic about Dai Anlan!
At the end, Governor Wavell added,"
"Princess Catherine, are you not interested in the title left behind by Duke Wellington?”
"You have to know that you're only the second-in-line heir at the moment. Before you, there's your cousin. He's the first-in-line heir!”
In London, these so-called nobles were often passed down for centuries, especially those noble titles, which were even more coveted!
That's right, Catherine was the descendant of Duke Wellington. Now, in her generation, there were only two strong competitors!
One was her, and the other was her cousin, Sellier!
Catherine knew what her cousin was up to. She would never forget that one time, after a family gathering!
Her cousin, Sellier, actually wanted to do what all men wanted to do to him while he was drunk!
Furthermore, she had arrogantly claimed that it was Catherine's coldness and arrogance that had aroused his desire to conquer her!
He, Seliol, wanted to prove one thing to the upper-class aristocrats of the British Empire!
That was, there was only one voice in the Wellington family, and the heir was him, Sellier!
Other than him, no one else was qualified to inherit the great title of Duke Wellington, who had once broken the so-called King of Europe, Napoleon!
However, this action was rejected by Catherine and she strongly resisted. She claimed that if he dared to force himself on her, she wouldn't mind revealing the matter of him seducing Prince Mountbatten's wife to the public!
At that time, the royal family of the British Empire would definitely expel Sellier from the ranks of nobles to protect the royal family's face!
Only then did Sellier have to stop, but at the same time, he warned Catherine!
If she still disagreed, he would definitely take revenge on her after he officially became the Duke of Wellington!
In the upper class of the British Empire, it was not uncommon for cousins to have such a relationship!
However, Catherine abhorred it and thought it was the ugliest thing in the world!
It was also because of this that the invitation from the Governor in India, Wayville, went so smoothly. Catherine was able to come to the Governor's Mansion as if she had escaped from the devil's den in London!
Without much consideration, Catherine stood up from the main seat with an elegant posture, slim and graceful like a noble white swan, and slowly walked towards Dai Anlan!
It was only when Dai Anlan noticed this uninvited guest that he realized that everyone's gaze had unknowingly gathered at this corner!
After all, Catherine's beauty was obvious to all. She was born into a noble family and was naturally arrogant. She had never shown any mercy to others!
However, this did not prevent her from becoming the focus of the banquet. Her every move had always been the focus of many guests, especially the nobles of the British Empire!
When Dai Anlan first looked over, he instantly thought of Audrey Hepburn, who played Princess Sissy in the movie Roman Holiday!
This woman, who was hailed as the eternal fashion girl in Hollywood, was known as the most elegant and intellectual beauty in the West in a hundred years!
As for the person in front of him, she was not inferior to him in terms of beauty. Moreover, due to her noble background, her natural arrogance was naturally revealed in her eyes!
"Hello, may I know you? My name is Catherine!" Seeing that the man in front of her only took a glance and continued eating, Catherine could only take the initiative to greet him helplessly!
"My God, did you see that? Our cold-faced princess actually took the initiative to greet a mysterious eastern man!”
"Peter, wake me up. Let me know that everything in front of me is not real. It's just a dream!”
"My goddess, could it be that you've fallen for the mortal world? How could you fall into the human world?”
"Oh, who is this? He actually made my goddess take the initiative to greet him. I'm going to beat him to death. No one can stop me!”
A group of upper-class nobles began to express their inner thoughts about the scene in front of them!
Without exception, they unanimously condemned this detestable man and swore to teach him a lesson!
Even Dai Anlan did not know how he had suddenly become the public enemy and aroused public anger.
However, with his personality, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care!
After all, in Dai Anlan's eyes, they were just a bunch of playboys who were having fun. It was no big deal!
