Flowers, Swords and France

"You have no regard for shame. That's your own hobby. I can't control it. Now... I have only one request for you. Please get out of my sight! This is our own matter. Let us solve it by ourselves." ! Now, get out of here!”

Under the cold moonlight, Charlotte's voice was arrogant and sharp, almost as if it was going to pierce other people's eardrums.

It can be imagined from this attitude that she was not as unmindful of Matilda who ruined her feelings as she said, but was full of contempt and hatred - although she herself knew that most of it was her fault. The fiancé’s fault.

Matilda looked at Charlotte's face that was slightly distorted with anger, and felt the cold and chilling hatred. She couldn't help but shudder in her heart, and she felt a little annoyed because of embarrassment.

After all, she had never been treated like this since she was a child.

However, despite being annoyed, she also felt vaguely understanding of Charlotte's actions.

For a princess to be able to disregard her demeanor to this extent, isn't it proof that she loves him deeply? And what can I count as? Just a bad person who secretly destroys the happiness of others? When she thought of this, she smiled bitterly in her heart, feeling a little sorry for Charlotte and a little ashamed of her current situation.

However, now is not the time for Gu Ying to feel sorry for herself. Xia Er is now worried about her life, and she is very worried about Xia Er's safety.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious about Ciel's indifference at the moment.

At this moment, Charles suddenly turned around and urged her to leave here quickly with stern eyes.

How stupid. How could I leave you and run away at this time!

She only felt angry and funny at Ciel's urging.

"Miss Treville. Don't get excited yet..." Matilda tried to make her tone calmer in the panic, and consciously walked aside from behind Charles. "I can understand your mood at the moment. I have offended you so much. It is reasonable for you to be angry...but why do you have to use such drastic measures? If you are not careful, the person you love will not be able to do what you want." Hasn’t the future we’ve been hoping for come to nothing? Please...please put your gun away, we can have something to talk about..."

"What else is there to say? What else is there to say?" Charlotte asked in a tearful voice, still not putting down the gun pointed at Charles, "Isn't the fact plain and simple? I was betrayed by this bastard. Oh! I paid so much for him and he never treated me like one. What happened, he took away my love and then trampled it on the ground! This is who he is, he is such a hard-hearted bastard! I have deceived myself for so long, and now I finally wake up... So, Can’t I come and seek justice for myself?”

As Charlotte asked with tears in her eyes, the place fell into dead silence again.

Matilda understood. What she hopes more than marriage is to get the love of her fiancé, rather than entering into a marriage in name only for the sake of obligation like others. Because of this. She was so angry at Ciel's betrayal.

Thinking of this, she looked at Charles anxiously, urging him to say something first to avoid the worst outcome. However. But Charles still stood there quietly, as if he was not the one facing life-threatening danger.

"Miss, if I were you, I would leave here without saying a word to avoid getting into trouble." At this moment. Charlotte spoke again, "You can let Ciel and I handle the rest. This is between us."

Charlotte's tone became increasingly ominous.

We can't go on like this, otherwise...

Seeing that Charles was still in a daze, Matilda couldn't help but become more anxious, but she knew she had to stay calm now.

"Miss Treville...stop!" she shouted, "I beg you not to do something that you will regret in the future because of your own impulse! You, I beg you, can you go back today? ? At least, wait until everyone calms down before you have a good talk with him... I beg you, okay?"

As she spoke, Charlotte listened quietly and said nothing.

Her plea, however, was sincere, but failed to impress Charlotte.

In other words, from beginning to end, this was not what she was waiting for.

"What can you say?" The anxious Matilda finally couldn't help it and urged Charles in a low voice.

She felt that from her position, it was pointless to say more, as it would only anger Charlotte more in vain.

All the focus returned to Ciel again.

"That's enough...Matilda, stop talking." Charles, who was standing aside, finally let out a long sigh. "You'd better go first and stop working in vain."

Then, before Matilda could answer, Charles turned his attention to Charlotte again.

"Charlotte, I did all this by myself. No matter whether it is wrong or right, no matter how angry you feel, it has nothing to do with her. Moreover, you are right, I have lied to you all this time."

Such a frank admission caused an indescribable expression of pain and anger to cross Charlotte's face.

Perhaps because she had held the pistol for so long and was extremely excited, her hands were shaking so much that people couldn't help but worry that even if she didn't want to shoot, it would suddenly go off at some point.

The two of them just looked at each other, and no one paid attention to Matilda next to them. Matilda also consciously stood aside in silence, fearing that she would cause any trouble again and make the situation worse. out of hand.

"Yeah, you lied to me...you've been lying to me all this time," Charlotte nodded, with some sarcasm in her tone, "I can't help but admire you, you actually keep showing off in front of me. You were so calm, and I didn’t even notice anything was wrong! I fell into your trap and thought you had repented and returned to me..."

"No, this is not a lie. I really mean it. It is because I love you that I made such a decision and entered into a marriage contract with you, not because of money or other considerations." With an attitude that even surprised Charles himself, he calmly replied, "It's just... I did lie to you. In the midst of entanglement and guilt, in order to continue to allow myself to retain this kind of behavior outside of official and private matters, I can occasionally continue Breathe that carefree I chose to continue to hide it from you, so yes, if you accuse me of being a bad guy, I can't refute it. But I want to tell you that I am closer to you now than when I was a child. At that time, I thought you were just a willful, overbearing and unsophisticated young lady. Although I was obedient to you, I was just perfunctory. But now it is completely different. I sincerely hope to spend my life with you. "

Although Ciel's attitude seemed to be very sincere at the moment, Charlotte couldn't listen to it at all. She just looked at Ciel hatefully.

"This is how he repays me..." she whispered to herself. "That's all I got in twenty years..."

"You want to talk about rewards? Okay, let's talk about it then?" Charles raised his voice, and then took a step forward inadvertently, "What else can I give you that I haven't given you? Reputation, status, Honor, money, what else haven’t I given you to make you happy? , I would even rather put you above our whole family, even myself! Except for that completely gapless fanaticism, I will give you everything if...if you just want this. If it’s something, then I’m sorry, I really can’t give it.”

Nothing disillusioned Charlotte more than the unmistakable truth, and she finally understood that Charles would never love her as much as she loved him.

Even if we drive this woman away, what will happen?

"Yes, you gave me everything except what I wanted most." She smiled bitterly. "Well, what else is there to say?"

"Apart from this, is there no way we can live together?" Charles asked. "Can't you forgive me for my mistake?"

"Unforgivable, unforgivable!" Charlotte shouted with tears, "How can I forgive you? Do you think...do you think you can get my forgiveness for anything you do? No...I have already treated you I have tolerated enough, but in the end I got nothing. In this case...since I can't get what I want no matter what I do, then...then..."

As if she had made up her mind, Charlotte raised her head again and looked at Charles calmly, just as she did just now, "Then let's just settle it!"

"Ended? How to end it? Does shooting me end it? Will you be happy if I die?" Charles also raised his voice, almost like shouting, "Okay, if that happens you will be happy If so, then kill them! Who needs to care about our grandfathers? Who needs to care about what our family will do next?”

As he spoke, he walked towards Charlotte, "That's enough...it's really enough...maybe it's okay to get shot. I don't have to hide in the guilt anymore. If you want to shoot , then shoot now!”

"Don't come over! Stop!" Charlotte was stunned by Charles's abnormal behavior, and then shouted loudly.

Matilda next to her was so frightened that she opened her mouth, "Sir, stop!"

But Charles was still unaware and continued to walk towards Charlotte step by step.

He was afraid of death, but he knew that the last thing he could do now was to cower.

He still didn't believe that Charlotte, who had loved him for so many years, would be willing to kill him.

Just like this, step by step... they are getting closer, getting closer...

"Bang!" (To be continued...)
