Flowers, Swords and France

The princess' words left Charlotte speechless for a moment.

She was silent for a long time and thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out whether the other party's words were correct, but she vaguely felt that what the other party said made some sense.

However, regardless of whether her words were correct or not, Charlotte was moved by her sincere attitude.

She really wanted to bless me and hope that I could live a happier life in the future. Charlotte thought.

Considering this point, Charlotte put aside her initial vigilance and contempt for the princess and treated her with respect.

"Thank you for your advice, madam." Charlotte bowed to the princess again, "I will consider what you said."

"It would be best if you are willing to consider it. After all, it is unrealistic for you to listen to everything at once. And... maybe you have a more suitable way of getting along with others..." The princess smiled and replied, "It's getting late, let's stop talking and go see them?"

"Okay."

Slowly, the two of them walked up the stairs.

Cemetery, as if thinking of something, Charlotte suddenly moved in her heart, and then whispered to the princess.

"Madam, I want to ask you another question."

"Go on."

"You...what do you think of that person?" Because she was very close to the room, Charlotte's voice was very low, "I mean, the person lying in your room, do you like her very much?"

"Like?" The princess blinked, and then laughed again, "Oh, I like her very much."

Charlotte sighed heavily in her heart, even this person is not immune to vulgarity. It seems that everyone likes her, which is really annoying.

"That's right, she is so beautiful and cute, everyone likes her, hehe..." In order to hide her resentment in her heart. She smiled falsely.

"Is she really cute?" The princess suddenly asked back.

"Huh?" Charlotte was a little strange.

"In my opinion, this is not cute. Cute people cannot please everyone." A faint smile flashed on the princess's face. "A truly cute person will not make everyone think she is cute. Because everyone has different hobbies and interests, and their definition of cuteness is also different. If a person can make almost everyone think she is cute, then it is deliberate. She is not cute, but trying to make everyone think she is cute."

………………

Absolutely correct. It couldn't be more accurate. Although this paragraph sounds a bit like a tongue twister. But Charlotte can completely understand it, and she also agrees very much.

Charlotte looked at the princess in surprise. "You actually... You actually..."

"When people get old and have nothing to do, they always think too much." The princess still smiled slightly. "When you're my age, you'll have a lot to say."

"But this is the first time you've seen her? I always thought she was very good at disguising herself." Charlotte said indignantly. At this time, she had completely regarded the other party as someone who could speak the truth, "so she fooled so many people around."

"First time? Yes. But isn't that enough?" The princess replied with a smile.

"But... since you already know what kind of person she is, why do you say you like her?" Charlotte was already a little confused.

"Can't I like her if she's not cute?" The princess asked back with a smile.

Charlotte was suddenly a little speechless. She couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking.

When Charlotte came to her senses, the princess stopped talking and walked up the stairs step by step.

Seeing that the other party was no longer interested in talking, Charlotte stopped talking and followed the princess up step by step.

"That's because I know Alice, too." The princess added in a low voice, but Charlotte couldn't hear it.

……………………

When they arrived at the room, Charles and Fran had already packed up.

"Are you leaving now?" The princess didn't seem surprised when she heard Charles say goodbye, but just tried to persuade him to stay, "It's rare that you've come here twice, can you stay for a while?"

"We've already caused you enough trouble, how dare we continue to cause you trouble..." Charles replied respectfully. "Madam, although I may find it annoying if I keep saying this, I am really grateful to you and am willing to repay you."

"You are too serious, as if I have done something great and earth-shattering! Why do I need any reward?" The princess couldn't help laughing, "Besides, I don't think it's a bother? I have been living in seclusion here for so long, it's nice to hear people's voices occasionally, especially energetic young people like you. I haven't seen you for a long time."

Then, she glanced at Charles and Charlotte, "I can see that you two rushed here in a hurry, right? You must be very hungry now, right? Although we have already eaten, I can ask the cooks to make you some more food. I believe you won't think our place is too simple, right?"

Charles observed carefully and found that the princess's words were not just a courtesy to keep him, but she really wanted to keep him for a meal. Since the other party had just helped him so much, Charles hesitated for a moment and decided not to refuse. Then he looked at Charlotte and found that Charlotte also nodded.

"Okay, thank you. I happen to be a little hungry now." Charles quickly bowed to the princess again, "Thank you very much."

Although it was a dinner party, due to the rush of preparation time, it was not very sumptuous. The cook only cooked a few wild quails. However, of course, Ciel would not feel any dissatisfaction.

"Madam, it is a great loss for us that such a humble and good person like you has left the social world!" Of course, Charles was not in a position to eat as carelessly as he did at home. He ate in small pieces while talking to the princess. , constantly complimenting the other party, "Now that false king has fallen. Can you go back? As long as you return there, at least the door of the Treville family will always be open to you."

"Charle is right," Charlotte also supported. Because of the conversation just now, she felt much closer to the princess. "Madam, when will you go back and take a look?"

However, the princess suddenly sighed.

"The false king has run away, but those people on the stage now, are they any better than the false king? The real king still cannot come back... This country has abandoned all orthodox principles, and God has also strayed far away from us. . Since it is no longer our time, we should go down safely and with dignity. I don’t want to be like an antique in an exhibition hall and act as a living fossil of the old era.”

After hearing the princess's answer, Charlotte glanced at Ciel mockingly. Ciel also felt a little embarrassed, after all. He is now considered one of the "people on stage".

Fortunately, the princess, who has been living in seclusion for many years, is not in the mood to give advice on political matters. "Okay, let's not talk about these meaningless things. I will consider your proposal, maybe it won't be long." I will go back to Paris and see what the world is like now... Will I be in trouble for you then? "

"You can just give your orders when the time comes. We will do our best to entertain you." Charles quickly replied with a smile.

Then, the princess asked Charles and Charlotte about interesting things in the social world over the years, but it was Charlotte who mainly answered - Charles didn't like to go to the social world, Fran was not old enough at the time, and she heard that Charlotte When Te was speaking, the princess sometimes chuckled and sometimes lamented, and seemed to be very engaged in listening.

It doesn't look like he has completely abandoned the whole world, Ciel thought to himself.

Suddenly, Ciel's heart moved and he thought of a good way to repay the other party.

"Madam. I think I can help you in other places." After taking a sip of wine, Ciel made his proposal.

"Other aspects?" The princess was a little surprised.

"You may not have much personal pursuits anymore, but I'm afraid the younger generation will not." Charles said with a smile, "Your child will be in some trouble now that he is alone outside, right? You can write him a letter. Tell him my name. If he has any trouble, he can just come to me. As long as I can solve it, I will definitely help him solve it. "

In order to increase his persuasion, he added another sentence, "Don't look at me like this. In fact, I am somewhat capable now. I can help solve many things. You can leave it to me."

Then, he took out his business card from his pocket and handed it over carefully.

"This is my business card. You can attach it with the letter. Just ask him to come to me with this business card."

Because he didn't like to owe others favors, Ciel wanted to give him something in return, but looking at the princess like this, it was obvious that she didn't have any desire. Therefore, Charles put his mind to the next generation - Charles remembered that when he visited last time, the princess said that his son occasionally wrote to him, so he thought he could write to the princess's son. A favor - of course, just a few favors that I can do.

However, the princess's reaction was completely beyond Ciel's expectation.

Faced with such a sincere attitude from Ciel, she froze, the smile on her face completely disappeared, and she became paler, and her hands trembled unnaturally.

Um? What's going on? what happened?

Charles was a little confused by her reaction. He kept recalling what he had just said, but he didn't realize that he said something he shouldn't have said.

I'm obviously just trying to do her a favor, right?

However, Ciel felt a somewhat unkind look from Charlotte, and was lightly stepped on by her.

What happened?

After the atmosphere became weird for a moment, the princess finally calmed down her emotions. Then, she smiled reluctantly again, but her smile no longer had the same ease and ease as before.

She gently took Ciel's business card and looked at the title on it.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Treville." Then she thanked her gently and put the business card away carefully.

The dinner party started again, but Charles felt that after his stupid behavior just now, the atmosphere had completely changed. Although the princess was still talking to Charlotte and himself, he could easily tell that this was just a perfunctory attitude common in social circles.

What happened?

Until now, he still didn't understand why his good intentions led to such results. However, his heart was filled with regret for unintentionally offending the princess.

After the two finished eating, Charles stood up and said goodbye to each other with Charlotte.

……………………

On the way back, Charles and Charlotte each rode a horse, while Fran sat on a horse with Charles, and the three of them slowly rushed back to the manor.

"You are such a complete idiot, Mr. Treville."

Charlotte's sharp sarcasm broke the silence between them.

"Oh, don't say it, Charlotte, I regret it too." Charles sighed, "But I still don't understand what I did wrong?"

"Still don't understand? What an idiot!" Charlotte sneered, "You have been in the social circle for so long, have you heard of Prince Cadiyan?"

"Ah?!" After Charlotte pointed it out, Charles exclaimed, and he finally realized it. "Yes! Why didn't I think of it!"

Illegitimate.

No wonder.
