Flowers, Swords and France

"Then what are you going to tell me? Mr. Walter?"

Fran looked at the young man in front of her seriously and asked softly.

Because the person in front of her was disrespectful to her brother, her face had changed from the friendly and gentle one to a little strange and cold, but it was not as cold as Charlotte.

"As I just said, don't worry, Miss de Treville, I didn't come here specifically to make you unhappy..." The young man also felt the change in Fran's attitude, but he didn't Looking scared, "On the contrary, I hope you can always be happy."

happy? How can you be happy? What do you understand?

Fran frowned slightly, and sighed with a sneer in her heart. However, she said nothing and waited for the other party's next words.

Although this was the first time Mr. Ezreal Walter came to visit, he was very attentive to Fran, which made Fran both surprised and disgusted. However, out of long-standing habit, she hid these resentments well and still treated the other party with respect.

"So, there is a group of very powerful people who now want to deal with Mr. President. Therefore, they want to use Mr. Treville as a breakthrough to attack Mr. President's party members and destroy his influence." After falling silent After a while, the young man spoke.

"ah!"

Fran lost her composure for a moment and secretly exclaimed.

No matter how ignorant she was about the political situation, she still knew that her family were die-hard Bonapartists. The other party is now at loggerheads.

In this case, it should be normal for people from that party to want to take action against the Treville family.

"However, you don't need to be too anxious. Since your brother can climb to such a position at such a young age, he is certainly not an easy person to deal with, so now they are just looking for his weaknesses in private.", young man He said unhurriedly, "Just then, someone wanted to spy on the inside story of the French Press Agency, so they approached me. And I think I am not the only person they have approached..."

It is precisely because she climbed to such a position at such a young age that she is hated by others, Fran replied with a wry smile in her heart.

"Based on the current situation. It is obvious that the struggle between the President and Parliament will reach a climax, and no one can be immune. And at that time, if there is a big problem with the President's cronies - such as Mr. de Treville - then it will It will be a huge blow to Mr. President. No matter how you look at it, it is a good deal." The young man smiled slightly. "So, I think you should tell him and let him pay attention to his recent words and deeds."

"Thank you for reminding me, sir, I will tell him." Fran quickly recovered from the shock and nodded, "But. Since it is such an important thing, why don't you tell him yourself? ? I believe he will not refuse your help."

"Because of some personal reasons. I don't particularly want to meet him, so I specially chose to come and visit today..." The young man smiled a little apologetically, "In addition, I will also trouble you to go and see him by yourself. I said, I’m really sorry…”

"Thank you, it's okay." Fran shook her head gently.

Although the other person's tone was overly intimate and almost frivolous, the smile on the other person's face was indeed very warm, making it difficult to dislike him.

Moreover, since they are here to help their own family, there is no reason to neglect them.

"Okay, it seems that the important things have been said now. I'm sorry for letting you hear such cruel things. I hope it won't affect your mood. Now, let's talk about another thing?" The young man smiled. He looked at Fran.

"Is there anything else?" Fran nodded. Today's young man has brought her too many surprises. "Please tell me."

"If my information is correct, I heard that your brother will marry the granddaughter of the Duke of Treville - your cousin - in the near future?" the young man asked in a low voice. .

After hearing this question, Fran's pupils suddenly shrank, but she immediately hid her disgust.

"It seems, indeed, so." She answered slowly.

"This princess seems to have a manor in the countryside of Giverny, right?"

Fran glanced at the other person, but nodded.

"Your information is really powerful. Are all French journalists so powerful? It is indeed the case. She has a manor there. It seems that her grandfather gave it to her as a dowry. I went there a while ago Went there to play..."

"Then she will save you and we will have a chance to meet again." The young man muttered in a low voice.

"What?" Fran felt that the other party said something, but she didn't hear it clearly, so she asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just said it casually." The young man smiled and shook his head, and then continued, "Then it seems that is indeed the case. Miss, please forgive me for being rude, you know that this person of yours What kind of person is my cousin? "

Arrogant and unkind, and also likes to bully people - of course Fran would not answer like this.

"I'm not sure about that. We don't have much contact with each other, but since my brother chose her as his fiancée, he must have his own considerations. What's wrong?" She answered slowly.

"Then, forgive me for being rude, but you should be careful about her..." The young man smiled bitterly, "Judging from the reputation, she is not an easy person to get along with, and she may cause trouble to your family. "

"Huh?" Fran looked at him curiously, "What do you mean?"

"Well, I'm a reporter, so through some channels, I got some not-so-good news about her." The young man lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of scaring Fran, " In Giverny, in that manor, because of some soil Due to a land dispute, she and her men drove away more than a dozen families. She used the strongest force and caused some casualties... So you see, she didn't want to look so kind and beautiful. If she really becomes your sister-in-law, you have to be careful."

"Oh my God! Is this true? Are you lying?"

Fran took a deep breath.

If you think about it carefully, this is indeed like Charlotte's style.

To put it this way, in fact, in the places he traveled around at that time, there might have been a few places that had been stained with human blood?

Fran suddenly felt uncomfortable.

It’s so uncomfortable that this guy didn’t tell me earlier!

From Ezreal Walter's perspective, Fran's reaction. It’s that resonance of noble compassion.

"You don't have to be too entangled, miss, this is not your fault. What I told you today is not well known at the moment. After all, Parisians don't care much about the provinces, so you just know it in your heart."

"This... this is so... so terrible..." Fran suddenly sighed, "What if this kind of thing spreads out?"

"It would be a bit troublesome if word spread. Although legally there is nothing wrong with evicting illegal intruders from your own land, there will definitely be another criterion in people's minds. Maybe many of them will Think that the Duke of Treville and his family are bullying, especially when they are rebelling against nobles. Ezreal's expression also became serious, "Think about it, if in some lawless newspapers, this princess was named 'Lady Macbeth of France'. , 'The Banshee of Giverny' or something like that... I'm afraid it would be very troublesome."

"God, that's so... so... terrible..." Fran sighed in a low voice again. "She...how could she...do such a terrible thing!"

"So. It's best if this matter is sealed up and turned into forgotten history." The young man smiled and nodded. "That's the best. You just have to know in your heart what kind of person she is."

Fran didn't answer, but lowered her head and thought about something.

"Well, I understand now. I will take note of everything you want to tell me. Thank you, sir!" After a moment, she raised her head and thanked Ezreal with a sincere smile.

The sweetness of this smile made Ezreal stunned for a moment.

"You're welcome, it's just a little effort." He said repeatedly.

Then he looked at his pocket watch.

"Ah, it's already this time! Sorry, Miss Treville, I have other things to do later..."

"It doesn't matter, you can do whatever you want." Fran replied with a smile, "By the way, can I ask you for help in the future? A well-informed reporter like you should be able to help a lot..."

"Oh, of course. If you need anything, just ask me. I will be happy to help you."

The young man answered immediately.

It was obvious that Fran's compliment made him a little overjoyed.

Then, he took it out into his arms.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't bring my business card with me today..." The young man apologized and slowly picked up a small notebook from his arms, then tore out a page from it, then picked up a pen and wrote I wrote a few lines on it and handed it to Fran. "This is my address, Miss Treville. If you need help, you can always find me and I will be happy to help you..."

Fran took it with doubts, and then glanced at it casually.

It's a nice neighborhood. The houses there are not cheap. Does your brother pay his staff such a high salary? Or does this person have other sources of income?

Forget it, whatever.

She put the page away casually.

"Thank you for your help, sir, thank you very much." Then she raised her head again and looked at the uninvited guest with a smile. (To be continued...)

ps: I’m so stupid to continue writing even if I don’t have money...

There is no guarantee of update time (because there is no guarantee), try to finish writing.

I will never write about such a niche subject again.

Let’s see how much more I can write if I don’t drink tonight.
