Flowers, Swords and France
Chapter 52: Determination
After receiving the summons from Mrs. Treville, although he was not sure of the content of the note, because it was the summons from his mistress and he instinctively felt that the matter was important, Kongze quickly put down everything he was doing and went directly to the special lady. Rushed over to where Mrs. Revell was.
Because Charles considered various situations, he used his power to arrange a diplomatic status for him, so he didn't waste much time. He rushed to the vicinity of Windsor Castle. After undergoing strict inspection by the guards, he was granted a diplomatic status as a special agent. Lady Reville's equerry, he was finally allowed to go to Windsor Castle.
Because Her Majesty the Queen was holding a party here, he met an endless stream of upper-class people along the way. Looking at these gentlemen and ladies who lived leisurely, Kong Ze well hid his envy and jealousy towards them deep in his heart.
He was not far from those people.
After great efforts, he has become an important subordinate of the Treville family, and is also indirectly realizing his dream of getting ahead - as long as the Treville family reaches the top, then as their pawn, he will surely Become a person with great power, even if you are unknown to the public.
Under the leadership of the maid, he came all the way to where Mrs. Treville was staying, and then waited in the reception room for Mrs. Treville's reception.
Not long after, the door opened, and Mrs. Treville walked in quickly.
Because she hadn't gotten a good sleep in the past few days, her face looked a little pale and haggard, and her eyes were a little dizzy, which added a little cloud to the bright charm of the young woman.
After seeing Charlotte. Kong Ze immediately stood up straight, then bowed exaggeratedly and saluted her. Showing the kind of respect you would treat a queen with. He knew that the princesses always liked this trick.
"You're finally here. Sir, you kept me waiting for a long time." Charlotte just nodded slightly towards him, and then made a gesture that would not disturb him.
"Madam, please take care of yourself." Kong Ze tried hard to add a bit of enthusiasm to his accustomed indifferent tone.
It looked like she had something on her mind - Kong Ze concluded after the first glance.
It was strange that she already had the youngest and most promising husband in France, had a wealth that was unmatched by others, and even just had a child. At this moment when she had gotten everything the world wanted, she felt in her heart What else could be worth worrying about?
never mind. There is no point in delving into this anymore, women are inherently strange creatures. She should have told me anyway, that's probably the point of her calling me over. Kongze thought to himself.
He knew very well that in the eyes of this always arrogant lady, he was more of a useful tool than a living person.
"I will take care of my spirit myself, you don't have to worry." Charlotte answered Kong Ze politely but indifferently, and then directly stated her purpose, "I summoned you here today. There is an important matter. I’ll leave it to you.”
In front of this person without a title, Charlotte didn't even want to be polite on the surface, let alone in this mood.
"Please tell me, I will be happy to fulfill all your orders." Although I have some bad premonitions in my heart. But Kongze still answered bravely.
"I need you to ensure that a man dies, and that he dies as inconspicuously as possible."
Good guy!
Kong Ze felt his whole body shake.
"You...asked me to kill people?" Because this request is a bit bizarre, even for a calm person like Kong Ze. I couldn't help but feel a little distracted for a moment.
As a member of the Treville family, it's no surprise that she has enemies and people she wants to kill. But it would be a bit bizarre for her to personally order the killing in secret.
Her husband was powerful, if ever a nemesis. Her husband can just get rid of it by himself, so why does she need to do it by herself?
"It's not to kill, but to ensure his death." Charlotte pointed out the difference calmly, "Someone is killing him. You only need to observe or assist. Only at the last resort, you need to personally Take action."
"You...please give a more detailed explanation." Kong Ze's breathing was slightly rapid. "Whose death do you wish to contribute to? What is going on? And...why didn't Sir tell me?"
"This is exactly what I need you to do. Not only do you need to ensure the death of that person, but you also need to ensure that no one, especially my husband, knows about his death, and no word can be leaked." Although Charlotte seemed very serious on the surface, Calm, but the tremor in her tone still revealed the uneasiness in her heart, "In other words, he must disappear from the world quietly without leaving any traces."
They kill and kill at every turn. Do these ladies and ladies really understand what killing is all about? How can it be so simple to let a person disappear from the world quietly?
"..." Kong Ze felt his throat was a little dry. He wanted to reason with the other party, but he didn't know how to start.
"You gave me a task that made me confused, and you made me an unattainable request!" Finally, Kong Ze could only protest to the mistress with difficulty, "Please think about it, this is not There are many things we cannot do easily in France. At least tell me who you want dead!"
"Have you seen that man? Or if it weren't for you, he would have died long ago, and we would have saved ourselves so much trouble." Charlotte looked at Kongze coldly, as if he really needed to take some responsibility for this. "I think you should know who I'm talking about, right?"
After just a few seconds of trance, Kongze came to a conclusion in his heart, and then his whole body was a little cold because of the cold.
"Are you referring to Mr. Edgar de Treville?" He asked cautiously with a hope of one-shot.
"Yes, I'm talking about him." To Kongze's disappointment, Charlotte admitted it directly, "After that man fled France, he didn't hide in the ends of the earth to make everyone feel comfortable, but ran to England... and continued to make everyone uneasy. In this case, we have no choice but to obey God's will. Let everything return to justice. Isn't this all good?"
The memory that had not cooled down before was resurrected in his heart. After carefully recalling everything that happened at that time, and combined with Mrs. Treville's words just now, Kongze finally understood what the lady meant.
"You mean..." Kong Ze looked at Charlotte carefully, afraid of missing any of her instructions, "You want him to die quietly in the hands of those...those pursuers? If those pursuers fail, I will do it for him."
"You are indeed a very smart person. No wonder my husband relies on you so much." Charlotte, who had always been very serious. Finally, she smiled a little and indirectly answered the other party's guess.
Just a few hours after meeting her uncle, Charlotte came to the conclusion that he must die.
He threatened Charles's future. Since he dared to threaten for the first time, it is inevitable that there will be a second and third time. At least he may do so. But Charlotte did not want to take any risks with her husband's future, even his father had no right to do so.
And in the future, his whereabouts may be difficult to control.
So, if you don't take the opportunity to kill him now. It will only be more troublesome in the future.
So, he must die-this is the final conclusion Charlotte came to based on her own logic.
Edgar de Treville would never have thought that his originally cute and clever cousin would become so resolute after so many years.
"Can I summarize it this way... You, the granddaughter of the Duke of Treville. The wife of Mr. Charles de Treville, intend to order me... order me to find a way to get rid of your cousin, your husband's father?" In a thin mosquito tone. Kong Ze asked another question. "And avoid letting Mr. know?"
Among those wealthy families, there are cases of murdering children and elders for inheritance rights. He has already seen a lot of such cases, and even many of them were solved by him personally. When he heard Charlotte's request, he was not too shocked psychologically.
The real shock came from other aspects.
Cooperate with others to kill the employer's father, and kill him personally if necessary.
This is not a normal task no matter how you look at it.
If the background is placed in the Treville family, then the abnormality will increase several times.
Just last year, he had met Edgar de Treville, and it could even be said that he had saved the life of the middle-aged man during the pursuit.
However, at that time, he felt that his employer was not happy after learning the news, and Miss Treville's subsequent behavior further confirmed his thoughts.
The two brothers and sisters hated their father very much, and they drove their father away as they wished - and their father did not seem to refuse to continue his exile life that had lasted for nearly 20 years. From this point of view, they should have no disputes over inheritance rights.
Since it was not a dispute over wealth, it means that Edgar had mastered a secret, a secret that was enough to make his son and daughter-in-law wish that he would disappear immediately.
If I knew this secret, I would definitely be sent to hell by them without hesitation - they dared to kill even my father, so how could they estimate a little me? It took less than a few seconds for Kong Ze to come to a chilling conclusion in his heart.
The original text is in the six # 9 @book/bar!
He didn't want to know what the secret was.
Even if it was only for his own life, he didn't want to know.
Moreover, he didn't have the courage to do this behind Charles' back, because he was not sure whether his employer really wanted his father to die.
Under the order of Mrs. Treville, he accidentally became the enemy who killed Mr. Treville's father. Is there anything more unfair in the world?
"Please forgive me, madam. If you really want this to happen, then I must report all this to Mr. Treville, and let him decide." In order to interrupt Charlotte's fantasy, Kongze didn't care about the superficial etiquette, "If he agrees, I will find a way to fulfill his will."
Charlotte's face slowly sank, staring at Kongze.
She had never tasted the taste of rejection since she was a child, so this anger made Kongze shudder even more.
"My will is also the will of the Treville family. I think you should know this. Sir, you are working for the Treville family. So no matter how much trouble you have, you must find a way to fulfill my will! Sir. I say again, I am ordering you!"
"Allow me to refuse...I need to report." Cold sweat broke out from Kong Ze's back, but he reluctantly refused.
"No, I'm sorry. At this point, you no longer have the right to refuse... Do you think you can escape safely from our family now?" Charlotte sneered at Kong Ze, who was at a loss. " You can only do what I want for good and accept the reward. But how you get through is your own business! My husband and I can tolerate enemies, but we will never tolerate betrayal - so don't think that there is anyone else in the world who can protect you, even if you abandon us. Whatever you get, you won’t get it even if you go to the end of the world.”
Charlotte's words were decisive and merciless, with no regard for Kong Ze's feelings. It seemed like he was using this method to vent his recently accumulated anger.
"That man threatened us, so he must die, even if his surname is Treville - no, precisely because of his surname Treville, this kind of betrayal is particularly intolerable. Absolutely unforgivable!"
"But...but...at least let sir know first..."
"No, just let us do it." Charlotte rejected Kong Ze's request. "Charle shouldn't know about this kind of thing. Otherwise, apart from adding trouble, what's the use? Is it possible to face this situation?" In this situation, does he have any other opinions? There is no need to make this decision alone."
What kind of threat is it that makes him ignore the relationship between father and son? Must he die? A trace of curiosity suddenly flashed in Kong Ze's heart, but he quickly put it out on his own initiative.
"What you mean is that Mr. Edgar de Treville has now posed a serious threat. Even if he is present, he will come to the same conclusion as you. You just don't want to let him bear that kind of psychological burden." Feeling guilty, so you decided to hide it from him?" Kong Ze finally figured out the key. "Can you confirm this?"
"Yes, I'm sure." Charlotte replied firmly, "Thanks to the love of the two old men, I am now one of the heads of the Treville family, and I have the right to give due sanctions to the black sheep in the family. . I can do it for my husband. He hates his father and is threatened by his father, but even so, he still doesn’t want to bear the sin of killing his father... It doesn't matter, it's normal, many people can't take this step, and I can't do it either. But... Edgar de Treville is his father, not mine. To me, he is just an abomination. A villain appears out of nowhere and threatens us, so you must make sure that he dies quietly without Ciel's knowledge and doesn't get in the way of anyone else."
"Isn't it a sin to be uninformed? Do you order me to let him die, so Mr. Treville does not need to take responsibility?" Kongze looked at Charlotte in surprise, as if he couldn't understand what she was doing. What to think.
"That's it for me," Charlotte replied with a sneer.
Kong Ze frowned. He still didn't quite understand the logic of these nobles' actions. However, he understood that he was not allowed to refuse everything the other party said.
Yes, at this point, he had no choice but to obey all orders. Knowing too many secrets, he could not escape. Even if there was a cliff in front of him, he had to close his eyes and move forward.
I still have value... so they definitely won't abandon me easily, at least it's hard to find a tool as handy as me.
When he thought of this, Kong Ze finally calmed down a little.
"If you ask for this, I can only remain silent," Kong Ze bowed again, "but as a condition, I need you to write a document for me when the time comes to prove that I am executing your will. "
For a moment, Kong Ze suddenly felt that the look Charlotte glanced at him was like looking at an unreasonable child.
Yes, who would be so stupid as to leave such a clue to himself?
"Don't worry... I won't ask you for any self-confession, and I don't need you to write it in detail. You only need to write one in hand at the time. The wording can be very obscure, so obscure that it cannot be used as evidence in court. It doesn't matter if no one can understand it, as long as the husband can understand it - I just I need a proof, a proof that is only valid for him, to prove that I am not entrusted by you to do these things. I can't be Mr.'s enemy for no reason. Once he learns the truth through some means, I will. A certificate is needed to prove this, please understand me, ma'am."
Charlotte still didn't answer.
The two people just looked at each other. This time, Kongze no longer showed humility on the surface, but looked at Mrs. Treville calmly.
Obviously, if he could not get this kind of certificate, Kong Ze would rather die than do such a thing.
"Okay, as you wish, I can give you such a certificate when the time comes." After hesitating for a long time, Charlotte nodded lightly, "However, it must be after everything is done properly. I will give it. You must ensure that he dies quietly, without any trace, without causing any trouble, without leaving a word - just as if he has never existed, completely disappearing from this world. This is a matter for you to consider.”
This was a very vague order. She only asked her father-in-law to die quietly in the shadows, without caring about who or how this was achieved.
"I can only say that I will try my best to fulfill your will." Kong Ze bowed again. (To be continued...)
