Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Across the sea from the palace where Jonas lived was the Abu Dhabi Conference Palace, which would later become the Palace Hotel.  Behind the Palace Hotel and heading towards the top of the peninsula is the Royal Palace of Abu Dhabi.  It takes less than ten minutes to drive from the palace where Jonas lives.

    Like Dubai, Abu Dhabi is a very flamboyant city. Here, the desert people who have been poor for thousands of years have a pathological paranoia about showing off their wealth and want to be first in everything.  The tallest building, the largest hotel, the first luxury hotel, the first luxury mosque, and so many more firsts.  And they are very fond of all famous things, including famous cars, famous watches, celebrities, supermodels, and famous dogs.

    , famous horses, etc. Money is not an issue, the key is face.

    Although the palace is slightly smaller than the Palace Hotel under construction, it is even more luxurious. Considering that they would rather spend 5.5 billion US dollars to build a mosque, the luxury of the palace is not too surprising.

    Jonas¡¯s two uncles, as well as his aunt¡¯s family, including some cousins, also came over last night to watch the ceremony with their own eyes.  Jonas and his entourage were ceremoniously welcomed into the palace through the side door.  Even Richie, who had seen too much luxury, was still surprised by the luxury inside the palace. They wanted to put all their money on their faces.

    The reason for entering through the side door is not disrespectful to Jonas and the others, but because there are still offices at the main entrance. This kind of internal affairs of the royal family cannot be mixed with state affairs.  It is not convenient to enter Khalifa's living area from the main entrance, as there are too many checkpoints to pass.

    Jonas is also looking forward to it, the more low-key the better.  But seeing the royal family members gathered together, as well as the representatives of Arab countries in the UAE, and the royal representatives of the other six member states of the UAE, Jonas knew that he could not keep a low profile even if he wanted to.

    At this time, Muhammad¡¯s status was a bit low, and the Abu Dhabi royal family sent Prince Mansour as an introducer.  Introduced Jonas and the others to everyone.  Facing these people who were dressed almost the same, Jonas didn't remember a few of them in the end, but was deeply impressed by Mansour.

    This is a super rich man with a personal net worth of 20 billion pounds.  In the future, he not only took charge of the Abu Dhabi Consortium, but also served as a minister of the UAE government and held many chairmanships.  After acquiring Manchester City Club.  He became one of the most talked about people in the world.

    Jonas remembered that he liked horse riding very much and had even won a medal in a competition. After introducing him to everyone, he started chatting with him about his experience in raising horses.  This was considered to be what he liked. Although Mansour didn't talk much, he was very interested in this topic and became very excited when talking about horses.

    A bell rang, and the attendant called: "His Royal Highness the Acting President has arrived." Acting President Khalifa finished handling state affairs and returned to the harem.  All the people stood up to greet him.  President Zayed's health is failing and he has been living in the hospital these days. Jonas remembers that he died this year, but cannot remember the specific time.  Khalifa also ascended to the throne of president this year, although he is still acting.  But he has full power to handle national affairs.

    According to etiquette, he first said hello to everyone, and then the Jonas family came forward to say hello one by one. However, only the men came forward to shake hands, and the women had no chance to come forward to say hello.  Perhaps it was a family affair, and Khalifa seemed extra cordial.  Whether it is as old as Yankel.  Richie and Jonas' cousin Yoni, who were as young as Jonas, were all smiling and saying God bless them in Arabic.

    Jonas is the last one to appear.  Facing Jonas, who was wearing a white gold-trimmed Arab robe, he looked very satisfied and said with a smile: "May the glory of Allah shine on you and me. Dear Jonas, although we have different beliefs, today  , we will become a family, both people of the Book, and I bless your marriage with Latini. But in the name of God, even if you do not convert to our Islam, you must have our Islamic name."

    When Jonas and Latini first fell in love, Muhammad pointed out that Islamic girls want to marry non-Islamic men unless the men want to convert to Islam.  But Jonas knew that it was absolutely impossible to convert to a religious denomination when he had just revealed to his family that he was favored by God.  But Muhammad came up with a solution, which was for Jonas to have an Islamic name, even if it was just a pretense, before marrying Latini.  Of course, Jonas agreed to this, not to mention that in his heart, it didn't matter what sect he was. He was an atheist in his previous life.

    Jonas said in English: "Mr. Muhammad has already told me about this and hopes that I will have the honor to be named by His Majesty."

    Khalifa smiled and said: "You should call me your highness."

    Jonas secretly blamed himself in his heart. Why was he so restless? He kept forgetting that President Zayed was still alive. He became a little forgetful after meeting the president.  "Yes, Your Highness."

      Khalifa thought for a while and said: "Your name is Jonas, and among our ancients, there once was a saint named Yunus. I hope his name can shine new light on you. Except  In addition, I give you the surname of the Muhammad family and our Nahyan family, hoping that you can contribute to our family."

    "As you wish. Your Highness."

    The clerk presented the completed record, and he signed his name on it and said: "Yunus Muhammad Al Nahyan. Because your father's generation did not have a Christian name, you will use this single name."  Name. I hope you can become a bridge of communication between the East and the West and make your own contribution to the development of our UAE. In order to express our sincere feelings for you, in addition to granting you the title of honorary national and applying for our country¡¯s diplomatic passport for you, you will also  Will enjoy the dividends from our royal family¡¯s sovereign fund equity.¡±

    Jonas was stunned for a moment, although he didn¡¯t know the specific amount of the dividend, but as members of the royal family were not short of money, the money would not be too small.  Although Jonas may not necessarily care about the money, it is also an honor.  But if you gain something, you must give something. The royal family in Abu Dhabi is not a charity.

    Sure enough, Khalifa said again: "I still have a small request"

    Jonas smiled and said: "Your Highness, please tell me, as long as it is within my ability, I will do my best."

    Khalifa nodded and said with a smile: "I hope you can accept my appointment and become my personal Western economic advisor. This will not take up too much of your time, but will only give you your sincere advice when I need to make decisions."  .¡±

    Jonas smiled and said: "This is my honor."

    After the terms were negotiated, the clerk waved, and a photographer came forward to take a recent photo of Jonas, which was used to apply for a passport for Jonas.  Jonas handed over his Swiss passport. His information was all there, so there was no need to ask questions one by one.  Afterwards, several photographers got busy taking group photos for everyone.  Jonas took photos with almost everyone, and then he heard an Islamic imam calling everyone to go to the royal worship hall in the palace.

    Latini was canonized as a princess, which was a much more demanding procedure than the one Jonas went through.  Jonas became an honorary citizen and even received dividends from the royal fund, which worked as long as the Khalifa said so.  However, for Latini to be canonized as a princess, in addition to the consent of the royal family members, she also needed to go through religious procedures.

    Although it is a small chapel used by the royal family, its scale is far beyond Jonas's imagination. Nearly 100 people came in and only occupied a small corner.  It's easy for men to come in, just take off their shoes, but if women want to come in, they have to put on the black robes they prepared in advance.

    In later generations, President Khalifa built the most luxurious mosque in the world for his father. The prayer hall can accommodate thousands of people, and a seamless carpet covers more than 4,000 square meters.  Although it is not that big, the interior layout is more luxurious than the Zayed Mosque that is open to the public.

    The women who had not been seen in the living room had already come in first. They were all wearing black robes, and it was impossible to tell who was who. Only Latini was kneeling alone in front, and Jonas guessed it.

    Seeing the men come in, all the women bowed and saluted, but no one spoke.  Most of the women were staring at their feet, but only a few children looked over curiously.  Latini was kneeling there, and no one saw her move even when they came in.  Seeing her slender figure kneeling there, although Jonas felt a little distressed, he also knew that now was not the time to feel sorry for her.

    Jonas didn¡¯t understand most of the next procedure. First, the imam led them to recite a section of the Koran, and then everyone gathered around Latini and poured water on her body with date palm leaves dipped in water.  President Khalifa finally stepped forward and spoke a lot, but Latini just responded softly and nodded constantly.  Finally, a woman who looked like President Khalifa's wife came forward, accepted Latini's prayers, and then helped Latini up.  Only then did Jonas recognize that one of the women standing in the front row, wiping her tears, was his mother-in-law Salma.

    At the end of the worship ceremony, it seems that a process was carried out to record Latini in the family tree.  Since they were all speaking in Arabic and the spectators were silent, Jonas witnessed this moment in confusion.

    After the ceremony, the women did not exit with the men, but disappeared from sight from the other side.  The men were invited to lunch by President Khalifa.  Only then did Muhammad have the opportunity to carefully explain to Jonas the procedure just now. Latini was included in Nahyan's family tree. Speaking of which, he would no longer be a member of Muhammad's family.  This made Muhammad both happy and disappointed.

    The luncheon ended quickly, because after one o'clock, all the Arabs present?Start the noon ceremony.  Jonas and the others just said goodbye. In fact, he really wanted to see Latini again. Today was her birthday.

    But until the day before their engagement, he still hadn¡¯t seen Latini because Latini had been living alone since her birthday.  This time it was an engagement, which lasted only five days. If it was time to get married, she would live alone in her room for 40 days, and could not see any outsiders except her family.  But Jonas can't help it because it's their custom. If she breaks it, she will suffer even more.  .  .  )
