Flowers, Swords and France

"My friends, you have been really impressive lately!"

In the private room of the restaurant, Charles took a sip of wine and looked at Albert with a smile. \u0026 {}.{}.}

"I'm sorry, Charles, for causing you trouble. I went a little aggressive to avenge a personal grudge." Alberto apologized and smiled at Charles. "During this period, you must have taken on a lot of pressure for me, right?"

Ciel suddenly sneered.

"To other people, I would tell him seriously how much pressure I have endured for him and how difficult it is, but to you, my friend, I can tell the truth...it doesn't matter, you did a good job." Charles shot He patted Albert on the shoulder and expressed how satisfied he was, "Well done. I didn't expect you to achieve such great results so quickly. I also thought that if it didn't work, I would personally help you." Woolen cloth!"

"Huh?" Albert was a little surprised by Charles's reaction.

"Didn't you just kill some hyenas? It's nothing, you killed them well. No one cares about their life or death. As long as the remaining people can obey us, your mission will be considered a success, and you have already accomplished this." Er poured himself another glass of wine, "Besides, when dealing with those gang members, you have to be serious, otherwise they will still refuse to obey you..."

Then, he lowered his voice, "The president is also very satisfied with your results. He asked me to tell you privately that he supports all your actions and tells you not to worry, just go ahead and do it. He will be grateful for your hard work in the future." But...you don't need to take the last part seriously."

"I don't need to take it seriously, anyway, as long as I can fulfill my wish. Besides, I didn't intend to ask for any reward from him." Albert shrugged casually, "As long as he can tolerate me now, that's all. ”

"Since you think so, then I don't need to persuade you anymore." Charles raised his wine glass again. "Come, let's have another drink."

"Speaking of which, you are feeling very proud now. You have suddenly become a great gang leader." With an implicit admonishment and warning, Charles raised his eyes and looked at Albert, "However, I think You'd better not be too obsessed with this position."

"Oh, I know that. Now I'm just taking advantage of you and scaring them so much that they don't dare to resist. One day I won't be taking advantage of you anymore. Who will listen to me?" Albert nodded. , indicating that he could understand what Ciel meant, "So, I understand what you mean. Now I can respond to everything among these people. It's just a temporary illusion - but I won't be obsessed with this status. There is no need for me Worry."

"It's good if you understand..." Charles sighed with relief, "As long as people are still biting each other, there will be no shortage of room for gangs. They will eventually fight each other in order to rob each other. Resources, for the purpose of dividing profits, to pass the time. Now, they are temporarily integrated just because they are of use to Mr. President. As long as Mr. President gets what he wants, these people will have no use value. Who will be there at that time. To take care of them? It’s just that they’re not far enough away…”

"Anyway, at least now I can still give them orders, right?" Albert smiled indifferently, "At least now I can still help you."

"I have nothing to do and need help from these gang members?" Charles asked.

"You don't have it, but others may not have it..." A mysterious look suddenly flashed across Albert's face, "Friend, don't tell me, I am helping you now."

"Huh?" Charles looked at Albert in confusion.

"She didn't tell you?"

"What her? Albert, don't keep talking half-talk." Charles couldn't help but become more confused.

"Why, your aunt didn't even come to your place to hang out when she came back?" Albert was also a little confused.

"Agnes? She's back in Paris? How did you know?" Charles answered immediately.

Then, he looked at Albert with some suspicion, "She didn't come to me, what happened? From your tone, you met her."

"Not only did I meet her, but I was also entrusted to help her!" Albert replied in a slightly exaggerated tone, "It's just that when we met, the scene was not very good."

"Then stop being so pretentious and tell me honestly what's going on?" Charles couldn't help but become a little anxious and patted him on the shoulder again.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll tell you right now." Albert poured himself a full glass of wine, and then told Charles about the meeting between him and Agnes that day, smelling of wine. .

They met by chance among a pile of corpses, and then she entrusted her with an important task. Finally, she decided to let Kong Ze come to help... After hearing these words, the smile on Ciel's face gradually disappeared, and he frowned and pondered.

"She wants you to help find someone?"

What a strange request. As a princess, why can't she go to the social circle and ask her friends to find the person she wants to find?

Who is she looking for that makes Agnes risk her own life and go to the gang leader to ask for help?

Unless...unless, the person she is looking for is shady.

Is it a lover? Or an enemy? Or is it something else?

"Charles, what's the matter?" Seeing that Charles was still confused, Albert couldn't help but urge him.

However, Ciel didn't seem to hear it and was still pondering.

My aunt, who had been wandering abroad for almost ten years, suddenly returned to Paris, and then suddenly came to Paris, and then wanted to find someone to help find someone - this thing is weird no matter how you look at it, it is really unusual.

He was not a nosy person and did not know how to interfere.

However, the indescribable feeling that suddenly rose up in his heart made him feel that this fact was too strange. He should not treat it as if it had nothing to do with him. It was better to explore it.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally felt that he should ask a little bit - if it really doesn't concern him, then do Agnes a favor, it doesn't hurt anyway; if it really concerns him, then think about it separately. Countermeasures.

After deciding what to do, he looked up at Albert again.

"Who is she looking for?"

"According to what she said, it was a middle-aged man named François de Lage..." Albert replied immediately.

"De-Lageon?" Charles frowned slightly, but he couldn't find any information about this from his memory. "Have you never heard of this person? Is he still a noble?"

"Who knows? Anyway, I have never heard of this name in social circles." Albert shrugged, "Maybe it's just a pseudonym. After all, we checked before and found that the person with this name is in I stayed in a hotel in Paris and then disappeared within a few days.”

After hearing Albert's words, Charles' uneasy premonition suddenly became stronger and stronger. He couldn't explain why he felt uneasy, but he just felt that it was too unusual to completely ignore it.

"You have already started investigating? Is Kong Ze helping to investigate this now?"

"Well, he is helping now. He used to work in the police department, isn't he a specialty?" Albert nodded, "Don't worry, after this period of time, I have become familiar with the current business. , even if Kong Ze can't help me with all his strength, I can still do a good job. Of course, if you think this is inappropriate, I will let Kong Ze come back tomorrow..."

"No... no need..." Charles slowly raised his hand and rejected Albert's proposal, "After all, she is my aunt, so she should still help with this. Since you have already taken advantage of it, then It doesn’t matter if Kong Ze helps her find someone now.”

Although he said this, he had secretly decided to call Kong Ze back to him now, to ask him about the situation when he and Agnes were helping, and to find out what his aunt was doing now.

He didn't plan to tell Albert about this decision, he just wanted to ask about it privately.

After all, he decided he should just give it a false alarm.

Seeing that Charles had already made up his mind, Albert didn't want to ask any more questions, so he quickly changed the topic.

"Char, I've been really tired after doing so many things recently. I plan to relax and reward myself recently."

"What tricks are you planning to do again?" Charles certainly understood what Albert meant. "Let's just say it first. I have a lot of things going on lately, so I won't go too crazy with you."

"There's no need to go crazy..." Albert smiled, "I want to go to the racecourse and try my luck. I heard that the son of Baron de Beauvin recently got a few good horses for himself. Ma, it’s so exciting! Let’s go and bet together then?”

"Okay, I'll go with you when I have time." Ciel nodded.

After agreeing on a time to meet for dinner next time, Albert said goodbye to Charles, then got up and left the private room, while Charles stayed here for the time being - according to the historical habits of these two old friends, this Next time it was Charles' turn to pay the bill.

However, until Albert's figure disappeared, Charles still did not get up and leave, and remained seated.

He was still thinking about what Albert had just told him. He didn't know why, but he always felt a little uneasy.

Agnes suddenly left and returned, and then made such a mysterious move, which made him unable to put it aside easily in any case - although until now, he never wanted to believe that Agnes would do anything to him. Unfavorable plot.

It wasn't until a while later that he put aside the distracting thoughts that were bothering him and ran to settle the bill with the store.

No matter what, you must figure it out. (To be continued...)
