Chapter 166: Rebirth
After a seven-hour long flight, the Morgan One slowly landed at Heathrow International Airport.
It rains a lot in London in winter, and as soon as he got off the plane, John saw a few people with black umbrellas standing on the tarmac waiting.
"Hello JK, I'm Osverd, the Minister of Palace, and Your Majesty has sent me to pick you up. A well-dressed middle-aged man in the crowd walked up to him quickly.
"Excuse me, Lord Auswed. John held out his hand and shook the Chancellor's hand, then got into a black Bentley and drove towards Buckingham Palace.
Buckingham Palace is not yet open to the public, and it will not become a tourist attraction until the fire at Windsor Castle in '92.
John is familiar with this world-famous palace, where he lived for a year many years ago when he was studying in Europe.
Walking through the palace square, led by Osveld, John came to the familiar hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a richly dressed old lady looking at him with a smile in front of the wooden staircase.
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for many years. John quickened his pace and walked up and made a close salute to the old lady.
The last time he came to London, he wanted to visit the old lady, but when he arrived at Buckingham Palace, he learned that the old lady had gone to Windsor Castle, and then flew back to New York directly because he was in a hurry.
"I haven't seen you for years, and your mouth is still so sweet. The old lady smiled and took his hand. "Let's go upstairs. ”
After entering the living room, after the maid brought coffee and snacks, the old lady sent the other idlers out, and only when there were only a few close people left in the living room did she look at John with a kind face. "I haven't seen you for many years, I didn't expect you to grow so big. ”
John was apologetic when he heard the old lady say this. "I'm sorry I haven't been able to visit you. ”
"It's okay!" the old lady waved her hand. "Know you're busy. As he spoke, he looked at Dani next to him and asked. "This is your butler, isn't it?"
"Yes. John winked at Daini.
Dani quickly got up and bent down slightly. "Hello Your Majesty, my name is Dani Miller, you can call me Dani. ”
The old lady nodded. "I heard you graduated from Cambridge University?"
"Yes, just graduated last year. ”
"It's good to be young!" the old lady sighed and took a sip of coffee on the table, then looked at John, who was smiling, and asked. "John, I heard from your mother that you've been having some trouble lately?"
The sudden inquiry made John stunned for a moment, and in an instant he understood that his mother had asked him to go to England to relax, and she wanted the old lady to enlighten him.
John was indescribably grateful to his mother for her good intentions, and the blood flowing in her body was a shackle that bound him, but it was not a bond that bound him to Mrs. Morgan.
In order to live up to his mother's wishes, and in order not to let those who care about him continue to worry, John decided to tell the old lady what he thought, and at the same time hoped that the old man, who had experienced more than half a century of ups and downs, could give him some advice on life.
"I hated my identity, I was afraid of my birthright, and I wanted to be a normal person. John looked into the old lady's eyes. "It may be a bit hard, but at least no one will die because of my mistakes, and my decisions will not affect tens of millions of people. ”
If you want to be an ordinary person, this is John's real idea, many people may look down on him, think that he is pretentious, just a dou who can't be helped, but when your mistakes cost hundreds of lives, can you still be light? When one of your decisions can affect thousands of families, can you still lift the weight?
There are some burdens that no one can bear, and the old lady who has been sitting on the side and acting as a listener knows this pressure most deeply, so when John finished speaking, she stood up and pointed her hand towards John. "Come, I'll take you somewhere. So saying, he led John down the long passage, and after some left and right turns, he came to a storeroom.
This storeroom is a special place to store the crown, and the crown that the old lady usually does not carry is placed here, which is protected and maintained by a special person.
John didn't understand what the old lady had brought him here for?
Just when he was puzzled, the old lady had already led him to a crown.
"John, what is this?" asked the old lady, pointing to the crown in front of her.
Although John was a little strange about the old lady's question, he did not hesitate to reply. "It's the crown. ”
"Nope. The old lady shook her head, and cut it down. "It's trouble, it's prison, it's regret, it's loneliness. The old lady said as she lifted the crown in front of her. "But...... It's also a responsibility.
I remember the day I became Queen, my grandmother told me, she said: YLSB! While you mourn your father, you also mourn another person, "YLSB Mountbatten", because she has been replaced by "Queen YLSB", and the two YLSBs will often clash with each other, and the truth is that the royal power must win, and it must always win. ”
When the old lady said this, she turned her head to look at John on the side and said solemnly. "John, that's what I'm going to say to you.
You were born destined to take on great responsibilities, and I know it's unfair, but believe me, I'm also suffering, and I know the pain and hesitation, the unwillingness and the loneliness.
But think about it, what would the world be like if you gave up your responsibilities?
At that time, the Morgan Group will enter the division of powers, and the side will be in charge. Other blocs will take advantage of the opportunity to attack, and the United States will be plunged into civil war.
What is even more terrifying is that once the United States is plunged into a civil war, opposing countries will take the opportunity to encroach on US interests and challenge the status of the United States, and then the United States will inevitably counterattack in order to safeguard its own interests and status, and the entire North Atlantic Treaty Organization will be drawn into the war.
What kind of war is it going to be?"
The old lady said this and patted John on the shoulder.
"John, everyone has come to this world on their own mission, and your mission is to become the patriarch of the Morgan family.
Don't be afraid that you can't do it well, and don't worry that you don't have enough ability, know that even if you don't do anything, just sit quietly in that position, you can bring a peaceful time to the world. ”
Yes!
Why is it to be born again?
Is it really to be a great director?
In an instant, John's whole body came to his senses.
If he came into this world twenty years ago as a physical rebirth, now it is spiritual.
"Thank you!"
John took a step back and bowed solemnly to the old lady. "Thank you, Grandma Windsor. ”
As the future helmsman of the Morgan Group, he cannot bow to the Queen of the British Empire, but he can, in a private capacity, thank the old lady who helped him.
But this is the only time out of this storeroom, and his name is JK Morgan.
