Flowers, Swords and France

Perhaps because he was too exhausted, Charles fell into a deep sleep, and he didn't wake up until it was already bright. . 23us. com And when he woke up, he found that he was still in the same position as when he fell asleep last night, and his sister was still lying in his arms.

She still had her eyes closed, her chest was rising and falling slightly, her breathing was very even, and she was obviously still asleep. Although her hair was messy and there were tears at the corners of her eyes, the girl's beauty could not be concealed, like a sleeping beauty from a fairy tale.

Since this is Sleeping Beauty, how about a wake-up kiss? Ciel suddenly thought jokingly.

Well, forget it, he rejected the idea after a while.

Then, he carefully pushed Fran away and planned to get out of bed. However, although the movement was very gentle, Fran was still awakened. Her eyes slowly opened, her blue pupils gradually gained focus, and finally focused on Ciel.

"Ah, good morning, beautiful Miss Treville." Charles quickly greeted with a smile, "I have to get up, how about you continue to sleep?"

Fran, who gradually came back to her senses, shook her head gently.

"No, thank you, I've had enough sleep."

"Then, please close your eyes first, and I'll change my coat."

"What's there to see? How many years have I been watching this?"

"That's okay, it's almost time for breakfast. Let's go have breakfast... Oh no!" After changing his coat, Charles was still smiling, but suddenly he remembered a very serious problem. His face suddenly turned ugly. He quickly turned to look at Fran, "Go back to your room quickly!"

Yes, it's breakfast time. But neither of them had sat down yet. Ciel didn't care, but Fran usually got up early, so maybe grandpa would ask the servant to call her - maybe, maybe he had already called her.

What would happen if the servant discovered that Fran was not in his room, and turned out to have spent the night in her brother's room...?

Damn it. Why didn't you think of this problem yesterday?

The ten-year-old sister went to sleep in the room of her twenty-one-year-old brother and slept all night. It was not something that could be explained away by saying, "She was unhappy, so I held her and comforted her all night." If there are any strange rumors among the servants. That would be so disturbing......

"Flan, get up and go back quickly." Urged by this anxiety, Charles couldn't help but urge again, "It will be bad if someone sees you are not in the room!"

"There's nothing wrong with it..." Fran seemed like she hadn't woken up yet. Slowly walked off the bed. "I just slept at your place last night, and I didn't disappear suddenly."

"That's what I'm worried about, silly girl! If there are any rumors then, it will be troublesome." Charles laughed in anger, "It's not like you don't know that servants nowadays like to spread rumors about their masters. Just gossip..."

Then, he tidied Fran's pajamas, which were a little messy because he had just gotten up. Revealing a large area of ​​white and greasy skin on his chest, he said, "It's true. Even at this age, he still looks like a child."

"I've grown up!" Fran protested dissatisfiedly again.

"Now that you've grown up, hurry up and stop dragging your feet." Ciel sighed, "Otherwise, if something happens, it will be over."

Although after sleeping with a girl for a night, it seemed very rude to kick her out as soon as she woke up, but Ciel couldn't care less at this time.

"Even if I rush back now, I'm afraid it'll be too late, right?" Fran seemed to finally understand the importance of the matter. She pointed to the clock beside Charles' bedside, "It's already this time, I'm afraid there's already someone there. Calling me."

"Then what should we do?" Charles frowned.

"Actually, it's nothing. If the servants want to spread gossip, let them do it..." Fran replied softly, but under her brother's sharp gaze, she finally became serious, "Okay, then you go find Mary." Yes, she probably hasn’t gotten up yet, just let her say I spent the night playing in her room.”

"That's a good idea. You wait here, I'll go talk to her." Charles nodded, then walked out of the room, quietly came to Mary's room and knocked on the door.

Sure enough, as Fran expected, her female companion, the Marquis de Leolan, was still resting in the room at this time. After hearing that the person knocking on the door was Charles, she immediately opened the door.

"What's the matter with you, sir?" she asked respectfully, with some traces of nervousness on her face. Apparently, she was still a little frightened by Ciel's sudden outburst last night.

"Well, it's like this. Fran stayed in my room all night last night. I'm afraid there will be some trouble, so please tell them later that Fran spent the night in your room... "

Although he spoke very calmly, Mary was obviously very shocked. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Charles in disbelief.

Well, at this time, she probably had two thoughts in her mind.

One is that after I got angry, I called my sister directly to my room and scolded her hard all night; the other is that I took my sister to sleep all night...No matter what, I didn't want it. The image established. Ciel smiled bitterly inwardly.

If you have to choose one, then choose the first one.

"Well, it's like this. After listening to your report last night, I was very angry, so I called her directly to my room and trained her for a long time. Maybe the training was too harsh, so she cried a lot. In the end, he lay down on my side and fell asleep..." Charles explained casually, "Hey, now it seems that I may have gone too far."

"You are really...stern..." Mary blinked in fear, "But this is also a kind of love."

"Well, anyway, it's up to you to wait, thank you." Charles nodded and said no more. He turned around and walked back to his room.

"How was it?" Fran asked as soon as he returned to the room.

"Well, it went very well. I've already agreed with her." Charles nodded, "You guys can go down to have breakfast together later. I have to leave first."

"Aren't you going to have breakfast with us?" Fran was a little surprised. "It doesn't take much time to have breakfast in the morning, right?"

"Well, there is something urgent in the ministry. I have been wasting too much time outside recently. I think it would be better for me to deal with it as soon as possible." Charles replied in a low voice. "But grandpa is waiting for you too?"

"No, he is waiting for you. He has a lot to say to you. So there is no need for me to be in the way." Charles smiled. Then, he lowered his head and k He's sad... okay?"

"Okay, I understand." Fran nodded slightly.

"So. Smile for me?" Charles pinched her face again.

"No!" Fran stuck out her tongue and made a face.

"Hahahaha! What a disobedient child!" Charles laughed. Then he picked up his hat and walked out quickly.

For a moment, he felt that the relationship between brother and sister that had been broken before seemed to be restored to its former self, and he felt extremely happy, and even his steps became much lighter. Fran and her grandfather will probably cry again later, and then they will be like before again, he thought with satisfaction.

The city in the morning is full of energy and bustling people everywhere. Therefore, the carriage could not pick up speed, and it was almost ten o'clock before we arrived at the Ministry of Railways where Charles worked - but. Fortunately, there is no one in this life who can check attendance with him, so it doesn't matter if he goes to work later.

The staff he met along the way greeted him respectfully. Although there was not much respect, Charles nodded without enthusiasm and walked quickly to his office. Then, he called his full-time secretary Clement to come to his office.

"Leave me the matters that need me to solve the most at the moment." In front of his cronies, Charles faded away the smile that had been on his face just now.

"Okay, sir." Clément quickly agreed, then took out a bunch of items from his hand and handed them to Charles, "I have already sorted them into categories. These are the ones you need to deal with most at the moment."

"Very good, thank you." Charles nodded, took the piece, and put it on his desk.

"In addition, there is one more thing." Clément still kept his head down, "The secretary of Mr. Minister just told me that he will report it to you as soon as you come."

"What's up?"

"The minister would like to have a cup of coffee with you this afternoon."

"Oh? Okay, I understand." Charles waved his hand to ask Clement to leave his office, and then immersed himself in a bitter battle with the men.

………………

After noon, Ciel went directly to the minister's office.

"Oh, Charles!" After seeing Charles, the new generation of Count de Dilion had a smile on his face, "I'm so happy to see you, please sit down."

"Me too." Ciel replied respectfully.

"Hey, I'm so sorry..." After Charles took his seat, Count Dilion sighed deeply, "Because of... I rested for so long, leaving you to fight against those bastards here alone. I have read the minutes of the meeting, these bastards are really arrogant, we must deal with them!”

"It doesn't matter, I can handle them by myself." Charles still looked serious, "It's more difficult for you, right? I'm very happy for you to see that you have come out of grief."

"Hey... this is God's will, what can we do? No matter how difficult it is, we can only accept it. My father has already reached that age, what else can I ask for?" Count Diliion said again He sighed, although he still looked a little depressed, but he was no longer as at a loss as before. "The deceased is dead. We can only grit our teeth and continue to get through what happens next."

"You are right, we can only look forward." Charles quickly agreed.

"Although my father has passed away, his friends and relationships are still there, and I still have good subordinates like you and Albert." The minister looked at Charles with a smile, "So now I have nothing to do. Worry, Ciel, let’s keep working hard, don’t forget what I told you before, as long as we unite, we won’t be afraid of anyone!”

Huh, after losing the famous Earl Diliion, the influence of this family seems to be declining day by day, and it will probably be easier to deal with it... What a good time to die. Ciel said coldly in his heart.

"Sir, the Earl's departure is a great loss to our country, but I also admire you very much. I am deeply honored to work with you." He looked at the Minister with emotion, "No matter what happens, I will always stand by you and give you my unstinting support. Please believe me, this is a promise from the heart."

"Thank you, Charles."

Obviously, the Minister was moved by Charles's emotional expression, and his hands trembled slightly.

"I called you here today to give you an invitation."

"Invite?"

"Well, the day after tomorrow is Matilda's birthday. We are going to hold a ball for her. Come and support her."

"Okay, I have no problem." (To be continued..)
