Flowers, Swords and France

When Charles walked out of the room, he found Kongze and the servant waiting outside the door, looking at him worriedly. +

He sighed secretly, and then cheered up again.

"Stay here with me and wait for my instructions." Charles looked at Kong Ze, "Don't let anyone get close to him again."

"Okay, I understand." Kong Ze accepted the order directly without any questioning, without even asking how he planned to handle it.

Then Charles made a sign to the servant to leave with him.

"Master, do you want to tell the master about this?" the servant followed closely behind Charles and asked cautiously.

"No need, let me handle everything." Charles replied stiffly, "Remember to keep it secret."

If you say that, I'm afraid it will only make him more sad.

"Yes." After hesitating for a short moment, the servant bowed and responded.

Of course, he already had the answer to what was more important between father and son. Since the future master has given such an order, no matter how unreasonable it seems, he can only obey.

………………

When Charles returned to the Marquis's mansion, it was already three o'clock in the morning. The physical desire for rest and the heavy psychological blow mixed together into an uncontrollable feeling of exhaustion, which made him feel as if his eyelids were tired. The most important thing.

But after returning to the bedroom, he couldn't fall asleep, and all kinds of thoughts were weighing heavily on him. What happened today, what I heard from "father". It was like pebbles dropped on a deep lake, causing ripples and disturbing his peace.

what to do? He kept asking himself.

Although I had a very bad impression of "father" when they first met. But there is really no reason to refuse to save him. However, as he said, Charles's repayment is limited to this one and only time.

So, to achieve this goal, Agnes must be held back for a period of time at least. Ask her not to look for her father again so that he can have time to escape - and I'm afraid it will take a long time because his father needs medical treatment.

He felt a headache.

But he still didn't dare to rest. He must come up with a countermeasure early.

After finding out that it was Kong Ze who saved her father, Agnes might come directly to her door, and she would have to come up with a way to deal with it.

So, what should we do?

He fell into deep thinking. The cool evening breeze kept blowing through the window and onto his face. But he didn't realize it.

He stayed up all night.

Wait until the next morning. He hurriedly freshened up and then walked to the dining room. By this time, his sister had already sat at the dining table - and their grandfather did not come for breakfast today due to health reasons.

That's just right. He was also relieved.

"Sir, what's the matter with you?" Seeing Charles' tired look with red eyes, Fran was surprised and distressed, "Didn't you rest last night?"

"How can I still sleep!" Charles smiled bitterly, and then spread his hands towards his sister. "Hurry up and finish your meal, Fran. I have something important to tell you."

Yes, he wanted to tell his sister all these things.

Charles thought about it for a long time last night, and finally felt that if he didn't want to fall out with his aunt and wanted to temporarily preserve the situation, it would be best to use a family affection offensive to impress Agnes.

And if you use family affection, you can only be persuaded by a junior like yourself - then if you call Fran together, you can greatly increase the success rate. After all, Agnes loved Fran when she was young. If Fran sheds tears, With persuasion, Agnes should be a little softer - I hope so.

Besides, she should know something after her father comes back, right? After all, he is still her father...

Therefore, after thinking for a long time last night, he finally made this decision.

"What do you want to say to me?" Fran looked at her brother in confusion. There were still some crumbs on the corner of her mouth, and she looked very cute. "Is it important?"

"Well, it's very important, so hurry up and finish it." Even under such heavy pressure, Ciel couldn't help but laugh.

"Then I won't eat! You can go talk now!" Fran wiped her mouth with a napkin, and then jumped up happily. "Let's go, sir..."

"Yeah, okay." Charles nodded slightly.

I hope you won't blame me.

……………………

Then, the two of them walked to the small reception room together, and then Charles briefly and clearly explained to Fran the recent events - from meeting his aunt to ending when he met his father. Of course, the specific details - such as the conversations with my aunt and my father - were not elaborated on to take care of my sister.

As Ciel spoke, Fran's expression kept changing, from the surprise when she heard the news about her aunt, to the anxiety after hearing that Ciel was beaten up by her, to the horror after hearing about her father, In the end, I became confused and didn't know what to do.

"Oh God, how could this happen! How could this happen!" As if she didn't know how to comment, she kept mumbling to herself, her eyes blank and unfocused.

Of course, Charles knew how much impact these words would have on his sister, so he also deliberately slowed down the pace of the conversation so that she could wake up quickly.

After being silent for a while, he looked at his sister's expression and slowly calmed down, so he continued.

"This is indeed an unpleasant thing, but even so, since it happened we can only accept it calmly. Fran, don't be afraid, Agnes is only targeting her father, and she will not have any ill intentions towards you. , after all, she doesn’t even have any particular ill intentions towards me. She loved you so much when she was a child, so she probably won’t..."

"Really?" Fran raised her head and looked at Charles.

"Really, although you were still young at that time, you may not remember it. But I still remember it..." Charles smiled and wiped his sister's silky hair, carefully soothing her emotions, "At that time She beats me all day long and takes great care of you. She always brings you delicious food and likes to touch your hair like me..."

"Beating you all day long? What you say is too scary!" Fran was still a little anxious, "Besides, now is not the time to joke. Auntie really wants to kill dad! Don't you think it's scary? "

I really don't feel scared at all. Ciel thought to himself.

"Okay, now I've made it clear to you what you need to say. It seems like you understand the urgency of the matter." Charles picked up Fran's right hand and squeezed it gently, "So. Miss Treville , I need your help now."

Perhaps she was infected by Ciel's solemn tone, or perhaps she was moved by the feeling that "I can help my brother", Fran finally regained some composure from the panic.

"That is to say. You need my help to persuade your aunt? Let her stop embarrassing your father?" Fran finally understood her brother's thoughts.

"At least don't be embarrassed for now."

"What if our persuasion fails?" Fran was still a little uneasy. His eyes were full of anxiety, "Isn't that..."

"The consequences will be troublesome." Charles nodded, "So I hope it will succeed. Please help me, Fran."

"Oh my God! Oh my God!" Fran kept sighing in a low voice, sweat appearing on her forehead.

"Don't worry so much, just show your sincerity." Charles took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat on her forehead. "Leave the rest to me, do you understand?"

"Okay... okay." He seemed to understand that there was no other way. Fran finally nodded. "I really hope I can help you..."

"You will definitely be able to help. Who would have the heart to hurt someone so cute?" Charles replied with a smile.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the small reception room. Charles opened the door and found that it was the old servant who knocked on the door.

As soon as he saw Charles opening the door, the old servant immediately whispered into his ear.

So fast? Ciel was shocked.

Then, he turned to look at his sister and tried his best to smile softly.

"She's here, faster than expected."

Fran's eyes suddenly widened, as if in disbelief, and then she subconsciously looked around herself, fearing that there was something about herself that was not dressed up well.

"Don't be afraid, we can solve it properly." Charles looked at her panic and made a gesture to reassure her.

Then he looked at the old servant again.

"Call her here."

After the servant left, the room fell into a strange dead silence.

"Brother, I'm so scared!" Fran's breathing was still very rapid, and she obviously hadn't recovered from the shock and panic just now. "If I failed, wouldn't it be... wouldn't it be..."

"Don't be afraid, Fran." Charles walked to Fran's seat and let her lean into his arms, "I am with you in everything."

"But...but..." Fran wanted to say something else.

But, by the end, she regained her composure.

Sitting on the chair, she stretched out her arms to hug her brother, then raised her head and looked up at his face.

"You are right, we can walk through it, sir, we can definitely do it!"

Just then, the door opened.

Agnes, wearing a black dress and holding a folded umbrella, appeared at the door under the leadership of a servant.

Her eyes, which were calm but mixed with anger, swept across the room and the pair of siblings without any emotion, and finally stopped on Ciel's face.

The two people just looked at each other.

"You gave me a surprise before, Mr. Treville." After looking at each other for a long time, Agnes said coldly, "It was your people who took that person away, right?"

"Yes." Charles nodded simply.

"Then, now, I want to ask you to return my prey to me immediately." Agnes's gaze became sharper, almost making Fran shudder, "Now!" (To be continued... )
