Flowers, Swords and France

"Stop, stop fighting, that's enough!"

The cruel torture calmed down under Matilda's scolding, and until the end, Ezreal Walter still said nothing.

The young man had been beaten almost to the point of coma, and it was difficult to describe the pain he suffered with words and ink. He only felt severe pain all over his body, and everything around him was blurry, as if his soul had left his body.

However, when the torture was over, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was very pleased and satisfied with his heroic persistence.

Matilda walked up to him with concern, then carefully reached out her hand and wiped his face and hands.

"His injuries are very serious. If he is not treated early, something will really happen!" Matilda looked at Mary with some displeasure, "Do you really want his life?"

"Didn't he ask for it himself? No one wanted to kill him!" Seeing Ezreal who had fallen into a coma, Mary couldn't help but shrink her neck. She was obviously slightly scared, but she didn't say anything. Willing to relent, "How could I have done this if he had been more cooperative?"

After a pause, as if she felt something, Mary glanced at Ezreal with some pity.

"I hope he doesn't know what kind of people he is suffering for in vain, and even faces the risk of his life!"

"I also hope he doesn't know." Matilda couldn't help but show a little pity in her expression.

Then, she sighed again, "Okay. Now since he refuses to say anything, let's not press him anymore. Let's think of another way?"

"You seem to have poured your sympathy into such a person?" Mary looked at Matilda with some suspicion, "Don't forget. His heroic feats are hurting your interests."

"Having said that, I still admire him a little. Being able to insist on not revealing anything when he was tortured to such an extent... This is worthy of admiration in itself," Matilda sighed again, obviously feeling sorry for Ize Riel was a little moved by his willpower, "I don't believe he did this just for money or any other greed."

"He has caused you so much trouble and you still say good things for him?" Mary was a little surprised by Matilda's attitude. "Do you think he will thank you?"

"This is not a matter of gratitude or not. I did something bad myself. As a result, it was leaked... In the final analysis, it is my own responsibility, and there is nothing to be angry about." Under Mary's questioning, Matilda Still very calm, "Besides, he has been beaten like this now. It seems that he is in more pain... What reason do I have to harm him again?"

Matilda's tone was very calm, and gradually the anxious and angry Mary became a little calmer.

She turned her head again, looked at Ezreal Walter who was unconscious on the ground, and frowned slightly. Obviously he didn't know what to do with him.

"Then...then what should we do with him?"

It's definitely not possible to just let him go. Who knows what he might be doing secretly.

But, if you don’t let it go, what should you do? Do you want to find a place to lock him up without anyone noticing? Even if it needs to be closed. When is the best time to shut it down?

After Mary thought for a moment, she felt her head hurt. She thought that she did not have the ability to do this.

The thought of this. She glanced at Matilda again, as if waiting for her to speak her mind.

after all. The two of them did not have subordinates who completely obeyed their orders, and they did not have enough resources to commit various crimes. It's one thing to trick someone out, interrogate him or even beat him up, but it's another thing to lock him up for a long time.

"Is there any better way I can do it?" Matilda smiled bitterly, "Mary, go and tell the gentleman, tell him all this, and let him make his own decision..."

"Tell Mr....!" Mary was so surprised that she opened her eyes slightly. "Didn't we just not tell him when we first discussed it? Besides... Fran and I also made an agreement..."

"Can you still care about the agreement at this time?" There was a trace of reproach in Matilda's eyes, "Don't forget, your original intention is to protect yourself and your employer - not to protect the agreement! In the beginning, You shouldn’t have done this, are you still insisting on it now?”

"But..." Mary was still hesitant.

"Are you going to be angry with her, or are you going to solve the problem?" Matilda asked again. "Things have come to this point, and we definitely can't solve it just by the two of us... In this case, don't be brave anymore, just tell sir everything you know now - in this way, you can achieve the goal Is it your purpose to gain the gratitude of your husband? Well...if you still refuse to do it, then...then let me relieve your worries, and I will tell Charles! Are you facing the dilemma of breaking your promise?"

Under Matilda's earnest gaze, Mary lowered her head and pondered silently for a moment.

After a while, she finally showed a wry smile.

"Well, why should we deceive ourselves? Isn't it the same for you to tell me or for me to tell you? It's me who broke my promise. Forget it, I'll tell you sir by myself, and I don't have to rely on you. But..." In Mattie's words When Erda showed joy, Mary suddenly changed the subject, "You can talk about this person, but you must not talk about Laura's things."

"Okay, I agree with you." Matilda replied immediately.

They came to this conclusion at the same time, but their starting points were different - Mary did her best to protect Fran, while Matilda did it more because she didn't want to make Charles sad.

Neither of them would have thought at this moment that Charles already knew the truth about Fran and Laura colluding together to commit a horrific murder.

"Then... let's do it." After the two of them reached a tacit understanding again, Mary finally made up her mind, "You can find a place for the time being. I will go back and report to my husband right away and let him make the decision. I I think you can find a place to keep him temporarily, right?"

To be honest, after coming to this conclusion. She was also relieved - finally she no longer had to bear the responsibility.

"I can find this, but it won't work after a long time, so you should hurry up."

"Then... let's do it from now on! Take this person over quickly. It's best to find a doctor to treat him." Mary is a firm and decisive person. As long as she makes up her mind, she will not hesitate anymore. "And I...I will go back now and tell him clearly whenever I see him."

"Okay." Matilda nodded in agreement, "Goodbye then."

"goodbye."

……………………

After saying goodbye to Matilda, Mary immediately rushed back to the Marquis of Treville's house. She returned to her room first. He asked a maid with whom he had made friends to report to her as soon as his husband returned home.

However, she was still a little worried at this time, because Charles was always busy with business and private matters, and sometimes he would not go home for several days, so she might not be able to wait until today.

After waiting nervously for an unknown amount of time, the maid finally knocked on the door of the room and told her that her husband had returned.

"Great..." Mary finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Where is sir now? I want to see him."

"I think...you...should not go there now..." the middle-aged maid said in a strange tone, "Sir, he looks a little strange now. He may be in a bad mood. I'm afraid it won't be good for you if you go there now... …”

"What?"

"Sir has been in a daze since he came back today..." The servant was obviously a little curious and scared about this abnormal situation. "His face was extremely ugly, so no one dared to disturb him. You'd better do the same." Don't get into trouble, or you'll feel uncomfortable if you make him angry."

Feeling bad? Mary hesitated.

Maybe I encountered some trouble on official business, so I came back so early.

But. I can't afford to waste any more time.

Besides, he shouldn't be angry with himself for other things.

Thinking of this, Mary couldn't help but make up her mind.

"It's okay, I'll go over and tell him."

………………

When she saw her husband on the sofa in the living room, Mary immediately realized that what the servant said was true.

At this time, Charles was leaning on the back of the sofa, his expression extremely ugly, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

With a sense of fear, Mary walked cautiously in front of Charles, but he seemed unaware of it.

"Sir..." Seeing that Charles still didn't notice her, Mary shouted softly.

As if waking up from a dream, Charles finally turned his eyes slightly and saw Mary, but his eyes still seemed a little dull.

"What's the matter?" His tone was very jerky, completely devoid of his usual calmness.

"I'm sorry to disturb your rest, sir..." Mary gritted her teeth, "I want to report something very important to you, related to your sister."

She was surprised to find that Ciel's face instantly turned completely white.

"After my observation, it seems that she is still in contact with that person named Ezreal Walter... And this person has ulterior motives. It seems that he is secretly doing something detrimental to you..." Mary followed her expectations. He continued, "This person ignored your warning and deliberately approached Fran. , and it seemed that he had really deceived her. Fortunately, I found out early and asked Matilda to bring someone to arrest him. Unfortunately, he refused to say anything now. This man has been detained by Matilda. Well, she wants you to make the decision, so I’m here to ask you for advice, what should I do?”

After she finished speaking, she immediately lowered her head to show that she was not taking credit.

But Charles just listened quietly and never replied.

However, although his appearance was still as stiff as ever, Fran's new crime still made him feel angry again.

OK, OK, great!

He was so angry that he almost wanted to laugh.

It turns out that they are all plotting against me!

After a moment, he barely suppressed his anger.

"Thank you, Mary... for your help."

"No, sir, I'm just doing what I should do." Mary answered immediately.

My brother and sister tried every means to deal with me, but outsiders were loyal to me and tried every means to solve my problems!

This is really unbelievable.

Charles felt a pain in his heart again.

"I will punish her, I will definitely punish her." He suddenly muttered to himself.

"Sir... Fran may have just been fooled... Don't blame her too much..." Mary hurriedly spoke well for Fran.

"Listen to you or listen to me!" He shouted at Mary.

Charles, this extremely rare burst of anger stunned Mary.

Then, the fear in her heart made her whole body tremble slightly.

"Yes... yes, sir..." Fear made her dare not think about anything else, she responded repeatedly, nodding at an astonishing speed, "I will do everything you say..." (To be continued..)
