Flowers, Swords and France

"Does it have anything to do with me whether he dies or not?"

Such a straightforward retort left Charlotte speechless.

He could indeed understand Agnes's feelings towards his grandfather, and he also knew that his request was a bit too much, but...even so, he could only bite the bullet and continue to plead.

"You...please don't say that?" He looked at Agnes sincerely, "I know you have resentment towards him, but think about it, he was also trying to protect his son! A father protects his son Is it really a heinous crime to choose to shield someone?”

Agnes didn't answer, just looked at him calmly.

"Okay... okay, I know what you want to say." Charles could only sigh, "You still hate him, then... I would like to ask, can you... can you please do it for my sake? On the other hand, at least for these few months, I didn’t choose to continue to hide myself? The idea of ​​letting you continue to wander outside is just to stop you from engaging in social life. If you return to the social world now, sooner or later the news will reach my grandfather's ears... No, at least now he still has You can’t know, it’s too dangerous.”

"It's really touching..." Agnes sneered, "You will always consider those people named Treville, because you are also a Treville yourself. So... have you considered my feelings? What? My sister and I, our lives have been shaped by your father, your Grandpa made a mess, died violently, and wasted so many years of youth... Do you remember to consider their feelings, but have you considered our feelings? If you haven't considered us, then... why do you think you are? Who are you to ask me to do this?”

Her sharp accusation made Ciel even more speechless.

"Sorry...sorry..." he just muttered.

He was indeed full of guilt, not only for what his father and grandfather had done, but also for what he had done to her.

"Our family... our family owes you so much. I know I am not qualified to ask you to do anything." He sighed, "But now I can only shamelessly ask you to do this last thing for me. . Yes, this is the last thing. I will never treat you again, if instead. If I can compensate you, I will try my best to compensate you. I...I sincerely hope that you can enjoy the next life, no, enjoy the next life twice as much, you will definitely be able to. You have filled in all the gaps of ten years, and God and I will repay you!”

"What? You want to bribe me? You Treville are quite accustomed to using these tricks..." Agnes showed no sign of being touched. Just said with a sneer.

Charles stopped talking and just looked at her with eyes full of hope.

"Do you think this can make me change my mind?" Agnes still sneered.

"You will change your mind." Charles replied decisively. At this time, there was no more pleading, only the final determination. "Because you are you, as long as I beg you, you will agree... In the last year, I have understood this truth."

"You..." Agnes showed a slight anger.

However, after the two looked at each other for a moment, Agnes finally lowered her gaze slumped.

She really couldn't completely refuse her nephew's request as she said verbally, especially since the request was so reasonable.

Although the sinful blood of Treville flows in his body. But it was mixed with my sister's blood. No matter what, he is the last remnant of his sister.

Since killing Edgar, the hatred and anger in her heart gradually dissipated.

What's more, he has disappeared for more than ten years, so what will he do if he patrols underground for a few more months? Totally out of the way.

"Okay, just take it as retaliation, I promise you." Until the end, Agnes sighed, "Thank you for not shielding him in the end and letting me take revenge."

When it comes to this. She subconsciously looked at Charlotte who was wailing next to the tomb in the distance.

It was precisely because of Charlotte's help that she was able to catch Edgar so smoothly and put an end to the grudge.

Again, just to thank Charlotte. She had to keep the matter secret and could only say nothing.

Just think of it as a thank you to both of you.

"Thank you!" Charles finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I...I am very grateful for your help. Tell me, what kind of compensation do you want? I am happy to do my best to repay you."

"Huh, what do I need from you Treville family?" Agnes shook her head. He seemed disapproving, "Come on, I don't want it, and I can live very well on my own... But there is one thing you have to do for me."

"What's the matter? Just tell me?" Charles was overjoyed.

"Originally, I planned to take a walk around and have fun... Now that I have agreed to your request, I just want to do the same thing." Agnes raised her eyebrows, "Don't worry, I I won’t go to places where the social world often gathers, and I won’t meet many people who know me—besides, it’s doubtful how many people still remember me.”

At this point, she suddenly smiled bitterly.

"Then...what do you need me to do?" Charles asked quickly.

"Lend me your subordinate named Kong Ze. He seems to have some connections everywhere." Agnes directly made her request, "If I run into trouble, he can help me solve it." There’s no need for me to take action. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be troublesome if I did? Then nothing can be hidden.”

"Okay, no problem, just do as you say!" Charles agreed to her request without any further thought. "I will let him follow you during this period. You can control him however you like. Just tell him how much money you need to spend beforehand. I will be responsible for everything."

Although Agnes's request was a bit strange, to be honest, he didn't believe that his aunt would have any unfavorable intentions for him.

What surprised Charles was that when he said this, Agnes kept looking at him.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing...just a little sigh." Agnes lowered her gaze, "It's just that you look like this now, you really have that bossy style! When you grow up, you become like my father and you. Just like the cousin who just died..."

"They are all dukes, and I am still a long way from them." Charles smiled slightly, but there was always an air of arrogance in his expression.

"Yes, you have grown up, but I am already old..." Agnes seemed to be joking or sighing.

Ciel looked at his aunt again.

The gray skirt made her face fairer. Due to years of travel and exercise, her figure was still very slender, and the perseverance in her expression was still there, but because of the relaxation after revenge, she had already carried a lot of the old days. Smart and interesting.

Even after ten years of wasted youth, she is still very beautiful.

"Aunt Agnes?" He couldn't help blurting out in excitement.

"Um?"

"You say you are old, but I can tell you that this is completely untrue. Yes, you are still very young and have enough time to pursue your own happiness." He looked at his aunt sincerely, "Yes. , you can still get happiness, this time... please don't miss it this time, okay? Don't sacrifice yourself for others, you are already great enough!"

"...You" Agnes opened her eyes wide.

When she was in agitated mood, Ciel suddenly walked forward and hugged her gently.

He had done this the last time he was at his own house, but it was just to subdue her. At that time, his future was at stake, and his heart was full of ruthless determination; but this time, he only felt sorry for her. , and blessings.

"I wish you happiness." He pressed his cheek against his aunt's cheek, just like he did in childhood. "As your mother's flesh and blood, I am one of the closest people to you. Although I have done stupid things before and hurt your heart, please... please don't doubt my sincerity at this moment, okay? You... …I would like to pay any price to help you be happy!”

Agnes froze in initial shock, but excitement soon caused her whole body to tremble slightly.

Finally, she just closed her eyes again.

He has indeed grown up.

You should still be able to see it, right? Can you be proud of such a son?

After my efforts, everything has returned to the normal track. Those who deserve to die can live a good life.

"Thank you." A smile appeared on her face, while tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

…………………………

As night falls, the Duke's funeral also ends. Due to previous arrangements, members of the Treville family will stay in this manor tonight and leave tomorrow morning.

"So, you have already met him?" Charlotte asked in a low voice from the window sill of the room.

"Yes, as you asked, I have already met with him." Agnes replied quite easily, "He has no doubts about his father's death at all. It seems... your plan has been successful. Congratulations. ”

"I should be the one congratulating you, right?" Charlotte smiled bitterly. "I'm really happy to meet you. Really, I felt like I fell in love with you as soon as I saw you."

"I made you laugh." Agnes also laughed, and then shrugged almost playfully, "However, with you here, I have another relative named Treville, which is so contradictory... …”

"I am different from that bastard, please don't confuse us." Charlotte replied with the same smile. (~^~)
