Chapter 1477

Everyone has their own responsibilities and obligations, and nobility is no exception.

After the Earl of Oxford banquet, the upper class in London has undergone earth shaking changes. However, Hall's historical heritage, social status and extensive contacts as a hereditary aristocrat still exist. All these need to be inherited. This is the responsibility and obligation of the hall family. For the glory of the family and for future generations.

Although George and Elizabeth are still in their prime, they still enjoy the privileges and benefits brought by the aristocracy, and they still have no intention to give up; But the problem is that their relationship with lanli is irreparable, and their influence on the aristocracy has suddenly stopped. After times have changed, their return to the stage is not likely to be good news for the hall family.

So the question is: should George and Elizabeth continue the family glory; Or should the next generation take over the scepter?

The upper class has given their answer: open arms and accept the official debut of ALF and Arthur.

In the past few years, the influence of Langley has been in many aspects, and the hall family is no exception. Besides Edith, the changes of ALF and Arthur are also obvious.

Although ALF had never talked to Langley, to be exact, she had never talked to anyone; But Arthur can still feel her confusion and struggle. Especially after the banquet of the Earl of Oxford, Alf fell into her own dilemma of reflection. Her hesitation, her hesitation, her struggle, no one knows, but she really exists.

But at the end of the story, a decision is needed. ALF's personality has never been indecisive.

ALF made her own choice: she decided to take over the burden of the hall family and become a new spokesman for the family.

As a full-time doctor, Alf's work is busy and hard. She doesn't need to ask. She can also know how much she has paid for her persistence, and it may even be far more difficult than she imagined. Therefore, she seldom appears at all kinds of social parties all the time, about the profession and dedication of the eldest daughter of the hall family, The upper class is also clear.

Now, for the honor of the hall family, she is bound to need to make choices and sacrifices, which may be her whole career, but she still does not hesitate. Or, her hesitation and hesitation were hidden in places that Arthur could not see.

Just as Arthur said, Langley and alf are so similar. For their persistence, they have paid a price that ordinary people can't imagine; And their ruthlessness and decisiveness are far beyond imagination.

The only difference is that Langley chose himself and alf chose the family. That's what happened when I was a child, and it doesn't change when I grow up. So, Langley and alf can never live together peacefully. Just now, the conversation between them is the best proof. They are cold and polite, alienated and boring, just like two strangers.

Even though Alf has a special interest in drama, all her personal feelings must be at the back in the face of family and glory. Lanli is the opposite.

It can't be said to be right or wrong. It can only be said to be a choice. We have chosen different lifestyles and different guardians.

Arthur and Edith are not like this. They have their own struggles, their own fetters, and their own concerns. At the beginning, Edith was forced to be imprisoned in London for more than a month because of the nanny Denise; And Arthur has always been burdened with the shackles of "heir to the hereditary title", unable to really be himself.

Arthur is a lazy and wanton personality, he likes to walk in different parties, those social and laughter can make him feel relaxed and happy; He also likes to wander among different contacts, but those boring contacts can make him feel the pleasure and satisfaction of strategizing.

If he can, he hopes to become an ordinary party planner. He doesn't need to bear the responsibilities and obligations of the family, and he doesn't need to worry about the reputation and glory of the family. He just insists on himself. He always can't help thinking, that life will be more simple and happy.

But... He can't. Because he's Arthur hall, because he's Lord hall.

Arthur clearly knew that if he completely abandoned the advantages brought by family connections, he would have nothing; And the so-called party planner will become a piece of empty talk. He knows better than anyone that the convenience of "Hall" is irreplaceable; More importantly, he had no way to let go——

Even if you give up the idea of a party planner, just be yourself, just like Edith or lenley, be yourself. But he can't either. From childhood to adulthood, he has been cultivated as the next Baron hall. His whole life bears the weight of this title. All the shackles are everywhere. Even Alf has become a doctor, but... He can't.

His life has been arranged and planned for a long time. He can't act rashly, he can't make mistakes, he can't even have his own ideas, even if he's almost out of breath, he can't break free. For him, the so-called freedom and dream are doomed to disappear from the moment of birth.

Some people once wondered why the European aristocrats like to spend their holidays outside, or even hide in a golden house, which has nothing to do with morality or patriarchy. They just want to escape from the suffocating life. No one said it was right, but it was their only resistance.

Therefore, the British upper class has always been tolerant of such things. Just look at the marriage between Prince Charles and Princess Diana. Camilla has existed for a long time, even acquiesced. Because of this, Princess Diana gradually began to resist, and more and more intense.

Arthur envies Langley, not because he has talent, not because he realized his dream, but because Langley has freedom.

Lanli can breathe freely, run freely and imagine freely. Lanli knows what he wants, so he pursues it; And he? He doesn't know what he wants or what he doesn't want, just like a puppet without thought.

Sometimes, he even began to doubt whether he simply wanted to hide his loneliness in the crowd because he enjoyed the party so much.

After all, Arthur can't be as resolute as ALF, and he can't be as reckless as Langley. Even Edith is running wildly to get rid of the shackles, but he still trapped himself in a position. He's the only one.

The small gasp of Cannes Film Festival makes Arthur happy again. Today, the reason why he made an appointment with lanli is that he hopes lanli can delegate the relevant activities of Venice Film Festival to him. He is ready to show his strength.

But ALF showed up.

ALF reminded Arthur, "you're Lord hall. You should know your responsibility. "

As the next Baron hall, Alf wants Arthur to stand up and take responsibility before George and Elizabeth take over again.

Although ALF didn't say anything cruel, the understatement was heavy on his chest. Arthur was almost out of breath. Like a drowning man, he needed a piece of rescue driftwood.

Looking at lanli in front of him, Arthur's eyes were full of despair, "what should I do?"

Lanli couldn't answer.

Arthur tried to catch the slightest fluctuation in Langley's eyes, but he was disappointed and didn't find anything. The despair dragged his ankle and sank heavily.

A wry smile rose in the corner of his mouth, and Arthur suddenly remembered that when Langley was forced to leave New York, was he more angry and desperate? What was he doing at that time?

But the memory is a blank. He can't remember, because he never seems to care about it, just as a slip through the ear of chat, turn around and forget.

This is their life. So what does he want now? What can he expect?

Langley sat quietly in the same place. He could see that Arthur today was very unusual, even more unusual than on Oscar night. He had no way to know how much pain and struggle Arthur had gone through. He knew that he should stand by, because this was the noble way of dealing with things. He was cold-blooded and objective. He had always done so, He comforted himself in the same way.

However, at the end of the day, he still couldn't do it, and he was soft hearted after all. Perhaps, he has never been a qualified nobleman.

"You know my answer." Lan Li said.

In despair, Arthur finally grasped the light, suddenly raised his head and looked at Lan Li, but he was puzzled and confused.

Lan Li gently breathed out a breath, "I'm not you, we are facing a different situation after all; But you should know my answer. It used to be, it is now, and it will be... Hopefully. Now, instead of following ALF's advice, you ask for my advice. Does that mean that you have made a decision and you just need to win courage from me? "

Gradually, Arthur came back to himself, savoring the words of Lan Li, and his mouth became bitter. This was not the answer he wanted, but as Lan Li said, he had known Lan Li's answer for a long time. However, Lan Li did not hide it at all, so he cruelly uncovered his mask and armor, and quietly watched him covered with scars.

The smile on the corner of his mouth rose gently, but it was sad and helpless. Arthur quietly looked at the man on the other side of the table, who was called his brother. "Lanli, you know you're an asshole, right?"
