Flowers, Swords and France

Chapter 68: Speak Out

"Lolotte, you're finally back! I really missed you!"

In the bedroom of Buckingham Palace, Charles shouted and hugged Charlotte tightly.

Charles was in a very good mood today because his wife was back. She had been traveling all day to get back to London from Windsor Castle and looked a little tired.

Of course, he didn't "think I couldn't stand it" as he said in the letter, but he did miss her when they had to be separated temporarily after their wedding.

"Come on, God knows how happy you were when I was away!" Compared to Charles's cheering, Charlotte was much colder on the surface. She just sneered, then stretched out her hand to pull Charles' ear, "If I hadn't written to ask you, I'm afraid you wouldn't want to call me back!"

"Ah, what are you talking about?" Charles hugged her tighter, then kissed Charlotte's cheek, "Lolotte, I didn't call you back just to make you have fun in Windsor Castle. If you're not happy staying here, just tell me earlier!"

"Humph..." Charlotte snorted coldly, but her expression finally softened a little.

Charles also breathed a sigh of relief, then hugged her and walked to the bed, letting her sit down.

"Lolotte, how are you?" He subconsciously glanced at Charlotte's abdomen, "You just came all the way here, do you feel okay? Do you want to rest?"

"It's okay, it won't hurt your child." Charlotte replied in a low voice, and then subconsciously touched her abdomen - although in fact there was nothing abnormal at all.

"What are you talking about! How can this little thing be more important than you? I'm just worried that you are uncomfortable." Charles immediately stroked her face again, "But... I... I really didn't expect that the two of us would become parents so soon... This... This is so strange, so strange! Lolotte, thank you, thank you so much!"

His words were a little messy, because he was indeed a little at a loss in front of this shocking fact, and this was also a rare true expression of his life.

This kind of true expression made Charlotte feel more at ease than any sweet words.

"Don't talk nonsense, Charles." She lowered her eyes and her tone became much softer, "We will naturally have children when we get married. What's unexpected?"

"Yes. Yes, I thought of it a long time ago, but... but when I really heard it, I was still at a loss. I don't know what it feels like..." Charles shook his head in confusion. "But. It doesn't matter. As long as you help me, I think I will get used to being a father."

This kind of teasing made Charlotte glare at him, "You... Be serious! After all, you are going to be a father. How can you always be as frivolous as before?"

Charlotte just shrugged and smiled.

Charlotte's attitude today was a little strange, but he had heard people say that women's tempers would become a little weird after they got pregnant, and they would often fall into inexplicable anxiety. And they would be moody and vent their anger on their husbands and people around them.

Judging from Charlotte's performance today, I'm afraid this rumor is not unfounded.

However, he accepted it without complaint and was not unhappy - Charlotte had made so many sacrifices for him and was pregnant with his child, so what if she was angry at him?

At most, she could only endure it. He thought to himself.

However, he could not imagine where his wife's anxiety came from at this time.

"I killed his father!" It was not until she really saw Charles that Charlotte's mind flashed a flash of enlightenment.

She always thought of what she thought. Once she decided on something, she would do it unswervingly to the end, so she didn't think too much about what she was doing before she finished it.

But now, everything is different. She has designed to capture Charles' father. Then handed him over to Agnes. According to the time, he is probably dead in Agnes's hands now, and buried forever in a foreign country.

How should I explain this problem to Charles? Will he agree with my approach? Will he forgive me? She thought about this problem several times after coming to London, but she couldn't find a clue.

Because she felt guilty towards her husband, she could only choose to treat him with a tough attitude.

"Okay. You take a rest first." Charles laid her flat on the bed affectionately, "We'll talk tomorrow."

"No, don't go, Charles!" However, when he was about to get up and leave, Charlotte suddenly grabbed his hand. "I have something else to tell you."

Forget it, it's already been done, what's the point of thinking about it now? It's the right thing to think about how to hide it from Charles.

"Well, what's the matter?" Charles looked at Charlotte with interest.

She has been staying by the Queen's side recently. Maybe she heard some important news? But judging from Her Majesty's character, she shouldn't make such a mistake.

However, Charlotte's next words shocked Charles.

"I met your father there."

"What?" The whole person became solemn. "You met my father?"

It was not until a moment later that Edgar's face reappeared in his mind, and a feeling of disgust also rose in his heart.

Does this guy still come to disturb my life?

"Yes, I met him." Charlotte nodded slightly, "He was disguised as a painter and followed a duchess there, and then he found a way to find me."

This guy is really...

"What did he want from you?" Charles' tone had become a little stiff.

"He told me that your aunt Agnes has been hunting him, so she wanted to ask for my help-" Charlotte stared at her husband closely, observing the change in his expression.

"Really?!" Charles frowned, "Don't agree to him! I have helped him once before, and I have already said that I will never interfere in the affairs between him and Agnes again! You don't have to agree. He’s polite!”

"I did not promise him," Charlotte nodded, "so I wrote you a letter asking you to call me back."

"So that's it! No wonder you asked me to bring you back quickly!" Charles suddenly realized, and then was a little disappointed, "I thought you really missed me as much as you said in the letter!"

"I miss you as much as you miss me, no more and no less, sir," Charlotte replied coldly.

But Ciel knew. Charlotte will miss herself more.

"So... I've just slipped away now, which is equivalent to abandoning him... You don't blame me, do you?" Charlotte asked again. "I think if he is really caught by Agnes, he may be in trouble..."

From Charlotte's point of view, it's obviously best for Ciel to know nothing. but. Sooner or later, Charles will know that Edgar is dead - he will understand this as soon as he sees Agnes come back, so it is better to create an impression in advance that "he has been in love for a long time but has escaped early" .

Besides, she still had a very important problem that she wanted to solve at once.

"I think so, but this can only mean that he is unlucky. I can't blame you." Charles comforted his wife, "We have done as much for him as he has done for us. We don't I owe him... Lolot, good girl, don't worry about this, you just did me It’s just something we’ve done, nothing wrong. I know your family values ​​are very strong, but why should we be too concerned about people who actively abandon us? Let God decide everything. If he died in Agnes's hands, it could only mean that he was unlucky."

Seeing Ciel's reaction like this, Charlotte finally felt at ease.

It seems that he really doesn't care much about this father. Therefore, even if everything is exposed in the future, there should be no big trouble - besides, with Agnes's character, she doesn't really believe that the other party will tell her secrets.

With this sense of reassurance, her tone became much softer, "It would be great if that's what you think, Ciel. I'm really afraid that you'll blame me for not saving him!"

"Blame you? How is that possible? Charlotte, don't worry about this, be happy." Charles couldn't help laughing, "Actually, you did the right thing. Fran also saw him in London before, but She just pretended not to see it!"

"Speaking of this, I do know..." Charlotte stretched out her voice slightly, "He told me. In addition...he also told me another thing, which I also want to tell you. …”

"What else is going on?" Charles was a little surprised. "This guy may have panicked. So maybe he told you some unfounded things, so you don't need to take it to heart."

"He told me that he wrote a certification document for you... That document stated that Fran is not your biological sister and has no blood relationship with you, right?" Charlotte continued to stare at Charles with calm eyes. , but still fierce, "Is there any basis for this?"

Uh... Ciel was stunned.

Why does this guy say such things?

"Yes, he did write this kind of document to me." In desperation, he could only nod and admit.

"Your father told me that this document was forged by your good sister! It's not a thing at all!" Charlotte shouted loudly, "Charle, look at the good things your sister has done. It's so audacious. Yeah, she threatened her father with an axe! That’s her father!”

At this moment, she was so filled with righteous indignation that she forgot that she had attacked her cousin not long ago.

"This..." Ciel gasped.

The document is still in his hands - although he has forgotten about it.

However, although it looked horrifying, he was not particularly shocked. Judging from his understanding of his sister, she could really do such a thing.

As for the reason... Ciel didn't know whether to be moved or scared.

"Then tell me, dear Mr. Treville, has your sister gone mad? Why would she do such a thing?" Charlotte sneered.

Charles lowered his head, because he knew the reason, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

"She...she probably hates this father too much. After all...he is such an irresponsible father." Charles hesitated for a moment before replying in a low voice.

"Huh, is that really such a reason?" Charlotte still sneered, "Just for such a reason, a person would abandon a surname like Treville? Are you treating me like a child? Or are you suddenly Becoming stupid?"

"Okay... okay, Charlotte..." Charles shook his head.

"Okay, I won't force you. You and I both know the reason." Seeing Charles's look, Charlotte didn't intend to pursue it. "For the sake of the child, forget it."

"Thank you, Charlotte." Charles finally breathed a sigh of relief, "But don't worry, in fact, I have never taken that document seriously. My grandfather and I have expressed our position. She is a member of our family no matter what, and she deserves all rights and interests..."

"I knew you would do this. You have always spoiled her." Charlotte answered without surprise, then suddenly frowned and made a vicious expression, "But I warn you, if you dare to have any unreasonable thoughts because of this kind of thing, I don't need God to punish you two cursed things. I will chop you into pieces first!" (~^~)
