Chapter 001: Hogwarts Admission Invitation

The night of August 23, 1991, was a night of great peace in London, as it was the night when the last property of the Princes family, which had been passed down for three hundred and forty-seven years, was to be auctioned.

This decision was made not by the only two remaining members of the Princes family, but by Catherine Princes, the adopted daughter of the Princes and the current "head" of the Princes family.

The Princes family originated from the English bourgeois revolution, as a new bourgeois aristocracy, the Princes family was able to inherit for 347 years, and still occupy a place in London, relying on the harsh "dominance" - the patriarchal management system.

There are not many members of the Princes family, so in order to ensure the inheritance of the family, the ancestors of the Princes family deliberately opened several orphanages, and all the orphans they took in were given elite education, and the most outstanding of them could not only become the adopted sons or daughters of the Princes family, but even have the opportunity to become "masters".

The "Juggernaut" is the person in the Princes family who is second only to the patriarch in status, and has direct control over all the property of the Princes family, even the members of the Princes family, including those who have the blood of the Princes.

Of course, in order to prevent the "juggernaut" from seeking to seize property, the ancestors of the Princes family set two rules for the "juggernaut": first, the patriarch vetoed any decision of the "juggernaut" without any reason; In addition, in order to become the patriarch, the Juggernaut must marry a member of the Princes family before the age of 30 and have a descendant.

These two rules ensure that the Princes are inherited by those who have the blood of the Princes, and at the same time ensure that the patriarch who leads the Princes is an absolutely outstanding talent. Unfortunately, the ancestors of the Princes family did not expect that one day there would be a "master" who could resist the temptation of this huge family property and do something to auction off all the property of the Princes family.

Catherine was just over a year old when she first entered the orphanage, but soon the orphanage people discovered her anomaly, and she actually had the ability to remember, which made her a key training object in the elite program.

Catherine did not disappoint them, completing elementary school at the age of three, junior high school at the age of five, high school at the age of seven, college at the age of nine, and a master's degree at the age of ten. So when she was five years old, the Princes adopted her as their adopted daughter.

In less than four years, Catherine was the best candidate for "Domination" from among the Princes' many adopted daughters, and Mrs. Princes showed her off as an honor for the Princes. This made their two sons, Darcy Princes, who were seventeen years old at the time, and Kov Princes, who were fifteen years old at the time, very jealous of her, and they both tried to oppose her and try to bring her down, but they could not do so.

On the day she received her master's degree certificate from the University of Cambridge in Business Administration, the Princes held a special party for her and announced in front of all the guests that from that day on, Catherine would be the "master" of the Princes family.

However, the day after Catherine became the "master", the Princes were on their way to inspect the Princes family business with her, when their car suddenly lost control and crashed into a building on the side of the road, exploding directly and killing them on the spot.

The Princes immediately accuse Catherine of murdering their parents, and Catherine, after receiving a court leaflet, immediately expelled the Princes as the "master" of the Princes family, and publicly declared that she would not marry either of the two brothers.

As a result, there was a problem with the inheritance of the property of the Princes family, and the two sides fought a lawsuit for a whole year in order to fight for the inheritance.

In the beginning, the Princes brothers brought in Kate Sevi, a well-known lawyer in England, to help them. Catherine, who was only 10 years old, suddenly faced tremendous pressure, forced by her identity, the members of the Princes family did not directly join the Princes brothers, but secret collusion abounded, and the people who were originally allied with the Princes family, for various reasons, almost no one was on her side, and everyone thought that she was definitely lost.

But everyone was wrong, and the first time the trial began, Catherine asked the judge to agree to postpone the trial for a month on the grounds that witnessing the car accident required recuperation. After that, she spent the month writing down all the laws and cases in the UK, blocking Kate Sevi's attack in the second month's court session, and starting to fight back in the third month.

Kate Sevi was soon defeated, and the Princes used their parents' connections and signed various unequal treaties to hire other famous British lawyers, but they all failed, and the lawsuit ended on July 24, 1991, Catherine got the right to dispose of all the property of the Princes family, and the Princes brothers got the final inheritance, which means that as long as she did not agree, the Princes brothers could not even get a copper plate during her lifetime.

Just a week after the lawsuit ended, early in the morning of August 1, the largest auction house in London suddenly received a call from Catherine, who asked to auction off all the property of the Princes family, including the Butterfly Manor, the main residence of the Princes family, by August 24. The person who received the call thought it was a prank, but soon after, her car appeared at the door of the auction house, and the auction house people realized that the call was real.

The news immediately spread throughout London, and the Princes were horrified that someone would stop her, but all those who had been on their side turned against her. The Princes brothers then realized that the reason why these people were on their side was purely to get the property of the Princes family.

On the evening of August 23rd, the last auction of the Butterfly Manor, the main residence of the Princes family, and the property of the Princes family will be held here.

The people present kept talking to each other, in addition to asking each other about the items they wanted to buy, so as not to kill each other, the most was to discuss why Catherine wanted to auction off this huge family property, because since the news came out on August 1, Catherine has not left the Bad Ford Manor for half a step except for a trip to the auction house, and the Bad Ford Estate has refused to visit since that day.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the auction began, and the president of the auction house walked to the makeshift rostrum.

"Ladies and gentlemen, before the auction begins, we give the floor to Miss Catherine Prince."

A beam of light hit a corner, where stood a girl in her early four feet, she was wearing a white princess dress with a high collar, a white handbag in her hand, a pair of white leather shoes on her feet, long crimson hair in a bun, a small white top hat on her head, a white round gauze hanging down from the edge of the top hat, just blocking her eyes and nose, only on her white face, a small pink mouth was smiling confidently.

She didn't seem to expect to encounter this kind of thing, and when she saw everyone's eyes looking at her, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered, but she quickly calmed down and walked up to the rostrum without turning a blind eye to her surroundings.

"Welcome to Butterfly Estate for the Princes Family Property Auction." The girl took the microphone from the head of the auction house and said with a smile in her crisp childlike voice.

"Miss Princes, why did you auction off the entire property of the Princes family?" A voice suddenly shouted, the dim light making it impossible to discern who was speaking, but it didn't matter, and all eyes were on the little girl on the stage to hear what she would say.

"If I don't answer this question, will anyone be disqualified from participating in the next auction because of this?" The girl asked rhetorically with a mischievous smile, and there was silence in the room, no one expected her to answer like this.

"Since no one has spoken up, it means that no one will not participate because of this, so it doesn't matter if I answer or not. So, now, the auction has officially begun. With a smile, the girl immediately put the microphone into the hand of the head of the auction house.

The president of the auction house did not expect the girl to suddenly announce the start of the auction, looked at the microphone in his hand and was stunned for a moment, before he spoke: "Please see the first auction item...... The slide lit up, and people's attention was immediately attracted by it, and no one noticed that the girl had slipped away quietly.

The door to the study suddenly opened, and a girl with red hair and a white dress entered, closing the door and taking off her top hat, revealing a pair of brown eyes that flashed with a sly gaze.

"It's so easy to let you know why, I won't be called Catherine!" She looked at the white handbag in her hand and pouted mischievously.

I have to start a month ago.

On July 24th, a day of great joy for Catherine, a year of fighting with the Princes finally came to an end, and Catherine won the title of all the Princes family's property, but when she returned to her bedroom at Butterfly Manor, she saw an owl standing on the windowsill with a letter in its mouth.

The envelope was made of heavy parchment paper, with no stamps affixed to it, and the address was written in emerald green ink.
