After Matilda visited Fran and ended her visit, Charles sent her away with trepidation. ~ Apex Novel,

Along the way, he was always worried that Matilda would suddenly get angry again, so he dealt with her carefully and didn't even dare to make a joke. Perhaps moved by Charles' attitude, Matilda didn't say anything more, just said goodbye to Charles calmly, without mentioning anything else.

After the two agreed on the time to meet next time, Matilda finally left in a carriage under Charles's eyes. As the shadow of the car gradually disappeared on the road, the sky slowly became darker.

This rest day that did not relax him physically and mentally, but made him painful and unbearable, was finally coming to an end.

Charles suddenly felt exhausted physically and mentally-for the first time in his life, he felt that dealing with women was more of a headache than indulging in official duties.

At this time, he naturally didn't know how many years this helpless feeling would accompany him in the future...

……………………

In the morning, after a whole night of rest, Charles regained his spirit. After he packed himself up, he went downstairs to the restaurant, ready to go to work after breakfast.

When he walked to the restaurant, he found that his grandfather was not there, and only his sister was eating breakfast alone. Perhaps because he didn't have to think of ways to deceive him anymore, Charles was relieved for no reason.

"Good morning, Fran." With this relaxed mood. He nodded to his sister, and then sat down happily. Prepare to finish eating and leave quickly.

"Good morning, sir." Fran, who had already cut the bread into small pieces and was ready to eat, responded in a low voice.

"Hmm?" Charles stopped in surprise and looked at his sister.

The greeting just now was just a habitual one for him. Recently, Fran pretended not to hear it and completely ignored it. Unexpectedly, she actually responded today, which really surprised him.

"What's wrong with you, sir?" Seeing her brother's stunned look, Fran couldn't help laughing.

This bright smile made Charles feel cheerful all of a sudden. Although he didn't know why his sister was so happy today, he was very happy to see it.

"Oh, nothing, nothing..." He shook his head repeatedly. "I just felt very happy to see you so beautiful today."

"You are particularly good at coaxing people!" The smile on his sister's face remained unchanged, but there was some unspeakable meaning in it.

It seemed that she was scolding Charles, 'Since you said I am beautiful, why don't you take me to heart'...

When he thought of this, Charles' mood suddenly became gloomy. The smile on his sister's face seemed to fade slightly.

Oh, let's not talk about it anymore.

"Oh, since you are happy, then everything is fine." He swallowed the food in one gulp. "I'll leave later, have fun."

Sure enough... is it really like this? He even refused to look at me properly... Seeing his brother still react like this, although it was all expected. But Fran still felt a little hurt in her heart.

"Wait!" She suddenly called out to Charles who was about to leave.

"Hmm?" Charles stopped. "What's the matter?"

"I want to ask you for help..." the sister whispered.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"You should know? It's my birthday in a few days..." Fran looked at her brother. Without any hesitation, he said, "I've been thinking about it these past two days. I just want to invite some friends to get together and put them in the teacher's art gallery. Then we can look at the paintings we left behind and find the memories of the past."

"Oh! Oh! Is that so!" Upon hearing this, Charles couldn't help but exclaimed, and then looked at his sister with a little guilt, "Ah, I'm so sorry, I actually forgot about this..."

"You are so busy that you may not even remember your own birthday. It's normal that you can't remember mine. I won't blame you." Fran's expression was still very calm, as if she was really not angry at all, "Look, can you agree to this matter I discussed with you?"

"Of course, who would object?" Without any hesitation, Charles answered immediately. "But I'm too busy recently and may not be able to attend... So, I will arrange my schedule and try to come to cheer you up, how about it?"

"No, no, you don't have to delay your work for me, otherwise I will be unhappy." Fran shook her head immediately, indicating that Charles didn't have to attend.

Although she knew that it would be in her interest if Charles couldn't attend, Fran still felt a little pain in her heart.

"Actually...it won't take too long?" Charles was still a little hesitant, "Actually I can still squeeze out some time."

"It's okay, I understand you. I know you're very busy, so you don't have to bother yourself." She smiled and replied, "Besides, when so many girls gather together, we won't be able to talk freely if you're here!"

"Oh, OK... that's fine." Although he didn't understand why his sister didn't want him to attend her birthday party, since she had already expressed such a feeling, Charles no longer insisted, "If that's the case, then that's fine... But, girl, although I can't attend, I will definitely choose a birthday gift for you, and I guarantee that you will be dazzling at that time!"

"Really? Then thank you, sir." Fran looked up at Charles, as if she was really looking forward to the gift, "But you don't have to spend too much time on this, I'm already very happy that you have this thought."

"No, this is just to make up for my mistake." Charles smiled and waved his hand, "Anyway, girl, wait!"

Then, as if he remembered something, Charles put forward his own opinion. "But, as for the location... why must it be there? I personally think it's better to do it at home. After all, it's more convenient to entertain guests at home, isn't it? Besides, the studio has been unused for so long. It might not be very clean..."

"Wouldn't it be too restrained if it was held at home? I just want everyone to spend a free night, just like it was back then. If it was held at home, with so many servants watching, we wouldn't dare to talk." Fran explained softly, "It would be much better if it was held in the studio. Matilda, Marie, Laura, and others would all have a lot to talk about there - I think this would make me much happier."

Her reason was very convincing, but...

"Laura?" Charles looked at Fran with some confusion, "Did you invite Miss de-Bovan as well?"

"Yes, after all, she is my classmate, and we still have some friendship." Even at such a critical moment, Fran remained calm and showed no signs of abnormality. "But, of course, if you don't like her, I can also exclude her from the invitation list..."

"How could that be?" Charles laughed. "It's your own party, you have the right to invite anyone, whether it's Laura or anyone else. I won't object. The rest is up to you, as long as you have fun-by the way. I'll ask someone to go and help you clean up the place later, after all, it has been vacant for so long. It's not easy to entertain others if you don't clean it up?"

The original text can be read in Liu # 9 @shu/bar!

Without making a sound, Fran made Charles agree to the fact that he invited Laura to attend his party-in other words, he also inadvertently became a witness of Laura.

"If that's the case, that's the best, thank you, sir." Fran was obviously very satisfied with Charles' arrangement, "Then I have told you about this matter, no need to waste your time."

Then, she stood up and saluted to Charles.

"Don't you have to be so formal?" Charles laughed.

Then, he also stood up, stretched out his hand, and pinched her face. "I hope you have fun then!"

"Goodbye!" Fran also smiled and waved to Charles.

What a beautiful smile.

Then, with a rare good mood, Charles turned and left the restaurant, and then left home in his carriage.

Fran sat quietly in her seat, enjoying her breakfast peacefully and calmly.

Her expression was calm, and her movements were very natural. She did not show any hesitation, and people could not feel what she was thinking at the moment.

Who could tell the turbulent waves in the heart of this young and beautiful girl at this moment?

Who could tell how many unknown secrets and unspeakable deeds were hidden in her seemingly reasonable request?

Love and passion from the heart, pride and arrogance rooted in the blood, blindness and coldness hidden in the heart, reckless impulse and reason... When these things are mixed together, what terrible reactions will be produced, and what terrible deeds will be created!

As Laura said, since we have already come this far, there should be no more hesitation.

After finishing breakfast calmly, she slowly walked back to her room and picked up paper and pen.

When writing, her hand holding the pen was very steady, without any ink spots caused by trembling, and the font was beautiful and smooth, without any trace of shadow.

"I have learned about what you brought last time, and I am very grateful for your recent efforts.

As you said before, I will hold a birthday party in three days and will invite many friends to celebrate with me. I am also very honored to invite you to join us.

If you don't write to express your objection, I will send someone to send the invitation later, please be sure to attend at that time.

... I wish you, have fun at that time."

She folded it steadily and put it in the envelope.

Even if, this is actually an invitation letter from the god of death.
