Flowers, Swords and France

"Yes, I love you, and I am willing to travel together with you... Even if there is a disaster, so what?" Fran stared at her brother with an inexplicable arrogance, "Besides, there are I'm here, you won't fail."

Under his sister's gaze, which was mixed with sincerity, excitement, pride and even fanaticism, Charles was stunned for a moment and didn't reply.

"Don't you believe me?" Seeing that he didn't respond for a while, Fran became a little anxious, "Sir, don't you think I can't help you?"

"Yes, how can you help? This is not a game, and it will do no harm to you if you participate in it." Slowly, Charles came to his senses, and then shook his head to show his appreciation for his sister's proposal. With reservations, "I am grateful for your thoughtfulness, but... I don't think I need to accept your assistance. You can just live your life in peace."

Such a cold answer was like a bucket of cold water being poured on her face, immediately chilling Fran's already extremely excited heart.

"Why? Why are you doing this? I just want to help you... wouldn't it be better for you to have more helpers?" Because she was anxious, she who was sitting at the head of the bed suddenly leaned forward, and then grabbed her He paused and said, "Do you...do you hate me so much that you don't even want to accept my help?"

Because she was taking a nap just now, she was now wearing a silk white silk dress. In the tight embrace, the thin material of the dress was filled with heat, making her brother's hands feel a little hot.

"This has nothing to do with whether you hate it or not. It's just not necessary. When you stay in the study alone, you can feel that you are omnipotent and can figure out everything. But in practice, it is completely different. On the contrary. It is very easy. It's self-defeating." Charles replied in a low voice, barely maintaining his composure. "Besides, what's the point of asking your sister to do such a thing?"

"If you think that I am inexperienced and don't know much about the world, can you give me a chance to learn? Is there anyone who is born to do this kind of thing? Even you can do it bit by bit. Have you accumulated your own experience?" Ciel's excuse did not stop Fran. , she became even more aggressive, "Besides...if you think I will harm your reputation, then it doesn't matter. I don't pursue fame. I can hide myself behind the scenes. I will never steal anyone's limelight, and Absolutely no secrets! Isn’t that enough?”

In a few words, she dismissed Ciel's reasons one by one, so that he felt at a loss for words for a moment.

"Don't talk about age. I remember that Joan of Arc was not older than me when she saved France!" Before Charles could give any more reasons, Fran continued, "Even if Joan of Arc is too far away, Mary She’s not much older than me, right? But don’t you still ask her to do things for you?”

After hearing these words, Ciel subconsciously turned his gaze. He glanced at Mary.

The implicit threat of "if I knew she was instigated by you, then you would look good" in this sight made Mary suddenly have the urge to run away far away, and finally burrowed underground. .

How come these two siblings were quarreling and got me involved? Am I provoking someone?

She winced. Try to show your innocence to your employer. However, because she was afraid that the brother and sister would fall out again, she did not dare to quit. You just have to bite the bullet and keep listening.

"That's what I said, but...but...this is completely different!" Charles was a little anxious. But in the end, he could only smile bitterly, "Not everyone is Joan of Arc. Besides, do we really need to go to this point? No, in my opinion, everything is fine, and you should live well. Live your own life without forcing yourself to worry about me.”

After hearing her brother's rejection again, the passion on Fran's face finally disappeared, her face turned pale again, then she let go of her hands, sat back on the bedside, and looked at her brother coldly.

"I understand... I understand, you just look down on people, right?" Just when Charles felt a little uncomfortable being looked at like this, Fran suddenly asked in an indifferent tone, word by word He said, "Yeah, I should have known this a long time ago! Huh, you have always looked down on people, looked down on everyone! You only have subordinates in your eyes, you only want slaves... You don't accept that anyone can stand with you, even if you My biological sister, isn’t she?”

"Where did you think of this?" Charles frowned, obviously dissatisfied with her sudden attack.

"Don't deny it! I've known it for a long time. You just treat me as a living doll. You have to make me look like whatever you want me to look like. You don't allow me to be a little different. Even grandpa, you don't want me to be different." You just show your love with pity, but in fact, you don't think he can be equal to you! You look down on everyone, and you just treat everyone with courtesy! It's just... you don't think anyone is qualified to help you, you just think that you are in control of everything, so you feel very uncomfortable now? It turns out that there are people who have always been watching you, and they are as good as you. …Do you feel uncomfortable? You are afraid that your self-esteem and sense of superiority will disappear, so you even refuse my help!”

"Nonsense! Don't you know how to restrain yourself?!" Under this extremely aggressive questioning, Charles finally couldn't help but burst out, "You make me scared? Is it just you? Don't think that you are a little clever. What's up, stop being so smug! Yes, you did make me suffer, but that's just because I kept myself blind! Since then, I have been accommodating you just because I love you... but now you think you are so great? Do I need to be afraid of you? Don't forget, if it weren't for me... I really couldn't bear to let you suffer. I punished you to the point of being locked up for the rest of your life! You still talk to me like this... Do you think I should follow you in everything?"

"Okay then, just lock me up as you said! I can't stand your kindness anymore, and I don't want to continue living in this muddle-headed way! What's the point of doing this? You gave it to me brain and intellect, but still require me to be like them Is there such a thing in the world for others to live in such a muddle? If...if the price for you to forgive me is to continue to treat me like a doll like before, then I would rather you not forgive me and lock me up if you want. Me!"

"Do you think I don't dare? Don't think that since this is England, I can't do anything to you!" Charles scolded in a low voice with anger, "I tell you, I can ask someone to take you back at any time, and then Let you never see the light of day!"

Although he issued this terrible threat, he was actually not that angry. He only issued this threat to save his brother's face. Even he himself felt that such words were too non-threatening.

Yes, his sister had never spoken to him like this before, which made him feel fresh and a little incredible.

She has been suppressing herself all this time. Isn't she working too hard? A thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"If you really want to do that, then go ahead and do it. I will never resist! As I said, I will accept whatever you do and I will never complain!" In this way of his In the face of the threat, Fran still didn't flinch, staring straight at her brother, "And don't worry, I won't think about it again this time, because... people who have died once are not willing to try to die again. , I have experienced that Feeling, so I don’t want to try it again, and I don’t want to make you and grandpa sad anymore - especially I don’t want to make you sad. So, don’t worry, you are free to do whatever you want with me, no need. Worry about any consequences! Then, just do it and use this to repay my unreserved love and respect for you, and I don’t even seek repayment. Anyway, you won’t lose anything because of it..."

Of course, Charles could hear this sarcasm. He didn't answer, but frowned and stared at the other person.

In this way, the two siblings stared at each other without giving in, both out of breath from their excitement and rapid talking because of the loud quarrel.

Ciel finally felt the determination to never give in, and the momentum to give up only when the goal was achieved.

Just like myself.

Yes, yes, it is indeed what I have taught through words and deeds... Although I don't want such a result, it is reality after all.

The innocent angel in the fantasy had disappeared, leaving only the beautiful, intelligent, and determined woman in front of him.

During this stormy quarrel, he finally silently accepted this reality.

Someone should finally give in.

Hey, it took a lot of effort to get everything to calm down a little and get back on track, so why bother going to this point?

He sighed inwardly.

If you really have this kind of talent, it would be a waste not to use it.

"Okay... If you really want to feel that you are great, then let reality educate you." Finally, Charles sighed, "I will arrange it after returning to China. You have to start with small things, but I want to See what you can be proud of. In addition, no matter what setbacks you receive, no matter if you feel wronged by anyone, don't complain to me afterwards, I won't listen to the poor complainers! mercy!"

With a relieved smile, Fran's whole body relaxed.

"I will, sir, you will never be disappointed today." (To be continued...)
