Flowers, Swords and France

"In other words, your father was pulled back by Matilda in his mistress's bed? Oh, my God! It's so terrible. Just fall in love with it. LWXS520. COM"

At the Count Dilion's residence, Lucien Leflair, who had just returned from the Italian expedition, looked at his wife in disbelief. "I'm already a grandfather, so how can I still..."

Like his commander, Lucien immediately fell into busyness as soon as he returned home. Just after participating in the military parade, he and his wife came to the residence of Count Dilion.

However, what greeted the victorious officer was not joy and laughter. Instead, the Earl's Mansion was filled with gloom and misery, and everyone looked sad. But there's nothing we can do about it. Who told Count Dilion to pass away like that?

At this time, Lucien, who had changed into casual clothes, was staying with his wife in the room where Julie lived before she got married. While they were teasing their daughter, they talked about what happened to the family when Lucien was away. things.

"Humph, he has never been like this. How many times has he changed lovers since we were young? It's too much! Matilda did it so beautifully. If it were me, I wouldn't show any mercy to him. "Face." Julie was obviously unhappy and replied bitterly, "At this age, you are still fooling around outside all day long, and you almost didn't even see your grandpa for the last time. It's really embarrassing for us to say nothing!" , I’m almost going crazy!” After he tried to persuade her, Julie slowly lost her temper.

"Forget it, it's already like this. What else is there to say?" She sighed, then raised her head and looked at Lucien, her eyes suddenly a little unkind, "Lucien, I can tell you, if you If you dare to follow his words, I will make you look good then!"

Under the fierce gaze of his wife. Lucien suddenly felt a sudden shock in his heart, and he quickly expressed his loyalty to his wife. "My dear, don't you know me yet? I only love you, Julie. I will never imitate your father..."

He said this from the bottom of his heart. For this wife who had dared to leave everything behind to marry him, in addition to love, he also felt grateful for being appreciated. With such a wife, how could he think of betraying her?

"Okay, I'll believe you for now..." After a few words of coaxing from him, Julie finally calmed down. Then she hugged her husband. "Lucien, you are finally back..."

Her words seemed ordinary, but they always seemed to have profound meaning, bringing with them a hint of charm that could make her husband's heart sway. The atmosphere suddenly became more subtle, and the two of them almost touched each other without realizing it... "Look at you, do you regard your daughter as your own soldier? You don't know the importance!" Julie hurriedly took his hand from him. Li took his daughter and complained to Lucien.

Lucien retracted his hand in embarrassment. Don't know what to say.

Lucien's hands were very rough due to years of service in the army. His daughter obviously did not enjoy this kind of touch, and to little Matilda, the person in front of her was probably very unfamiliar.

Ever since having children, how much more difficult has it become for parents to be romantic?

Just when both of them were a little embarrassed, there was a gentle knock on the door. Lucien quickly ran over and opened the door, and then found his wife and sister standing quietly at the door, looking at him calmly.

"Matilda? Please come in." Lucien always didn't know how to deal with this sister-in-law, so he immediately won her in and planned to let his wife deal with her.

Matilda nodded politely to him and walked in slowly.

"Matilda?" Julie smiled at her, "Who bothered you again today? Why do you look unhappy again?"

"What's the point of being happy or unhappy now?" Matilda replied calmly, "There are so many troubles."

"Sorry...Matilda..." her sister responded, making Julie feel a little sorry in her heart. "Grandpa passed away suddenly. No one expected that, and dad was like that... I have really worked hard on you during this time, I'm sorry..."

This apology comes more from the fact that most of the troubles faced by my sister should have been borne by her, but she escaped from this obligation, embraced her own happiness, and left the troubles behind. I threw them all to my sister.

"It doesn't matter," a smile appeared on Matilda's pale face, "As long as you are happy."

She gently touched her niece, as if just complaining was enough to vent her dissatisfaction. Strangely enough, little Matilda slowly stopped crying after she stroked her, and went back to sleep with a smile on her face.

The two sisters stood together looking at the child, and Lucien stood beside them. For a moment, the room was filled with the long-lost warmth again.

However, this warmth is destined to be short-lived.

"Dinner is about to start in a minute, so you should also prepare. Father and mother will be present." After a while, Matilda spoke again, "And George, he will be back today too."

"Will George come back too?" Julie was a little surprised. "Doesn't that mean the whole family will be gathered together today? Is it really rare?"

"Well, George was specially called back by his father." Matilda nodded, then glanced at Lucien, "Have you forgotten grandpa's instructions?"

"Ah?" Julie was surprised. Apparently she still remembered her grandfather's dying instructions, but she still couldn't believe it. "Dad really plans to comply with it? Is he willing to do it?"

"What is there to be reluctant to part with now?" Matilda shook her head gently, "Dad was a little hesitant at first, but I persuaded him later, and he finally made a decision... You see .You can laugh at us again, you will do anything for glory and wealth."

"This is really..." Julie lowered her head slightly, not knowing what she was mumbling to herself, and she had no time to listen to her sister's overt and covert taunts.

Matilda quickly left the room, but Julie was still looking down and thinking about something. Lucien saw that it was getting late, so he urged his wife.

"Julie. Let's go there, don't keep them waiting..."

As if she had been awakened, Julie suddenly raised her head and looked straight at Lucien. Then she hugged him suddenly.

"Lucien. You must take good care of George in the future, promise me!"

"Ah? What?" Lucien felt a little strange about his wife's reaction. "What's wrong?"

"Dad, Dad is going to send George to be a soldier... God, he is going to be a soldier! It's so scary." Julie, who was in his arms, her voice trembled a little, "He is my only brother. What if something happens...Lucien, you must protect him from now on and don't let anything happen to him..."

After hearing the news, Lucien couldn't help but froze.

"Why? Why does George want to join the army?"

However. His wife didn't answer.

These nobles are really a group of people who are difficult to understand, one and two. Lucien couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

but. Even so, he still loves her.

After a moment, he gently touched his wife's back.

"Okay. Of course I will."

………………

Soon, Lucien and Julie came to the restaurant in the Earl's Palace, and were cordially received by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, the new generation of Count and Countess Dilion.

Compared with before, Lucien obviously felt that this family's attitude towards him seemed to be much more attentive. Although he was polite on the surface before, it was with an aristocratic indifference. However, now this indifference has been replaced by Intimate, and this change in attitude did not show any stiffness, as if it had been like this from the beginning.

Of course, Lucien was not so stupid that he couldn't see the reason for this intimacy. However, although he was disapproving of what his father-in-law did in his heart, he was naturally able to show due courtesy on the surface.

At the request of his father-in-law, Count Dillion, Lucien has been recounting some of what he saw and heard during this expedition and his past service in North Africa to the people present, although his story was not very expressive. , but the detailed narrative still made them listen attentively.

Especially his brother-in-law George, who listened very intently. The young man's face was flushed, and he asked his brother-in-law about the details of the foreign land from time to time. It was obvious that he was really devoted.

Yes, for a young man, joining the army and becoming a hero is inherently attractive. In this way, the earl did not force his son to take a path he did not want to take.

"Lucien, not long after, I want George to join the army. Well... this was also his grandfather's last wish before his death." After chatting for a while, the count finally asked the question, "Lucien, are you a concubine? Pedestrian, I want to ask your opinion. If George joins the army, which way do you think is best for him?"

For parents, the safest is probably the best. Lucien thought.

Then, he looked at George, trying to figure out the young man's true thoughts.

Finally, the look on George's face convinced him that this young man really wanted to join the army.

So, okay.

"The best thing is that he can find a way to go to a military academy and then become a staff officer after he graduates." Lucien expressed his opinion. "Of course, this requires good grades, but I believe with George's intelligence, this should be no problem..."

"Staff officer?" Matilda was a little confused.

"Well, yes." Lucien nodded, "I had heard some rumors from the commander, the Marquis de Treville, and he planned to advise the president to establish an army staff department specifically responsible for To make plans for Army operations, if such a department is established, it would be a good place for George. And..." After a pause, he added, "The Marquis also said to me. However, when the time comes, he plans to recommend me to work there.”

"Really?!" The count and his wife looked at each other, obviously overjoyed by his answer.

Then, the Earl continued to ask, "In other words, will such a department have great power?"

"Well, there should be a certain amount of power." Lucien replied cautiously, "But everything is still in preparation, so I can't say for sure, but judging from the movements above, it shouldn't be just a small fight. That’s all.”

"That's great! Lucien." The count couldn't help but smile on his face. "It seems that Treville really values ​​you. He even told you such an important thing. We should really thank them."

At this moment, the earl certainly didn't know what his kind subordinate was planning to do, so he still looked relieved.

"Yes, we should really thank them." The countess agreed with a smile, and then patted the hand of Matilda sitting next to her. "Really? Matilda?"

"Yes, Mom." Matilda nodded calmly. )
