Flowers, Swords and France

"You... where are you thinking?" After hearing his grandfather's words, Charles immediately turned red with embarrassment. "She is my most beloved sister. I have taken care of her since she was a child, so I am a little affectionate to her. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"No problem, if that's really all you want." The old Marquis still looked at him calmly, "But I was upstairs just now, and I always felt that you two were too intimate. I know you are always reasonable, but after all, this is It’s such an important thing, so I thought I’d better remind you.”

"Okay, maybe there is a bit, I will pay attention to it in the future." Charles did not dare to argue with him on this issue anymore, "Okay, do you have anything else to explain? If not, I will go find you. I’m the secretary, and I still have something to tell her.”

"It's okay, just go find her, talk to her more, and have fun." The old man's expression immediately changed, and he waved his hand easily, "Why don't you go back tonight? Anyway, here we are. I won’t say anything while staying in Charlotte.”

Ciel's face became very strange.

"You seem to want me to cheat on my wife? Is she your grand-niece?"

"Betrayal? No, of course not, I just want you to relax." The old man immediately shook his head, "I know you love Charlotte, but I think she has been pregnant for so long, you should find some entertainment, right? Instead of being here It’s better to find someone reliable than to look for someone outside.”

Charles didn't answer for a moment because he didn't know how to answer.

As a result, the old man looked at him strangely.

"You don't really intend to keep your virginity for Charlotte, do you?"

Ciel was still speechless.

"Sometimes I really can't believe that your surname is Treville. Charles, you are good at everything, but you are too restricted in this aspect." The old Marquis said with a 'Don't be stupid, kid' expression on his face. "Do you know how valuable youth and health are? Instead of taking advantage of these moments to experience the beauty of life, you let it go in vain? That way you will only be left with a pile of regrets when you get old."

"But..." Charles wanted to say something else.

"I know that what happened last time has brought a psychological shadow to you. You are afraid that something like that will happen again and cause trouble for yourself." The old man sighed, "But, kid, what can you get from being afraid? As long as you do it You have to be smart. You can still move freely. Yes, you have the qualification to do whatever you want, so why not reward yourself by doing whatever you want? "

The old man patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, just listen to me. Mary is a good child. I think she will be happy to accompany you."

Ciel felt like he couldn't listen anymore.

"I'm going to do my work first. You can continue to rest." He stumbled up and left the living room.

"Poor child..." Seeing the back of his beloved grandson leaving, the old man couldn't help but shook his head.

……………………

At this time, Mary had just finished her mission and had just returned to her room to rest.

Because she had just directed people to pack up and unload the paintings for storage, she now felt a little hot all over her body, so as soon as she returned to the room, she opened the window and took off her skirt, leaving only the close-fitting white gauze. Wearing a petticoat, she sat on the window sill and fanned herself with a fan.

"Who?"

When there was a knock on the door. She asked casually.

"It's me." Charles replied in a low voice, "I have something to explain to you."

When she heard that it was her employer who was looking for her, Mary was shocked at first. She quickly ran back to the bed and planned to put on her skirt again, but she suddenly froze for a moment, then put the skirt back on the bed, her face A strange smile appeared.

"Wait a minute, I'll be right over!" With this smile, she walked to the door step by step. Then the door suddenly opened. "Sir, what do you want from me?"

"I want to..." Charles just replied subconsciously, but after seeing the other party's dress clearly, he suddenly stopped.

"Uh..." He looked at Mary who was smiling. Then his eyes moved slightly downward, falling on the large expanse of snow-white skin on his chest, and he didn't even move away for a while.

"You...change your clothes first?" After a moment, he finally reacted, then turned around and planned to leave first.

"No, there's no need to go to such trouble. Just come and tell me everything," Mary was prepared and grabbed his hand with a smile.

She wanted to drag Ciel in, but stopped for a moment, "What, do you want us to stand at the door like this for everyone to see?"

"Okay." Charles could only nodded and walked in.

"What do you have to tell me, sir?" After closing the door, Mary walked over to Charles who was sitting by the wall with a smile and sat next to him.

"Well, actually there are some arrangements. Are you free recently? I want you to accompany Fran on a trip to the south." Charles whispered, "She has something to help me with, but I'm afraid she can't do it well because she has no experience. ”

"What's the matter?" Mary asked again.

"It's like this..." Charles explained to her completely.

While he was explaining, his eyes kept wandering involuntarily and fell to the area around his neck, so his speaking speed was much slower than usual.

"You want me to stay with Fran to help her get things done so that she doesn't suffer a loss..." After hearing what Charles said, Mary whispered, "By the way, I'm also watching over her. , lest she suddenly come up with any conspiracy with Laura? "

"Sometimes you can't speak so directly." Charles blinked, "But that's what I mean. So, can you do it?"

"Of course, I have said many times that I am happy to do things for you, just ask me." Mary replied without hesitation, "Don't worry, I will arrange everything we need before leaving. "

"I knew it! You are so reliable!" Charles nodded happily, "I think you are the most suitable candidate for this matter. You are familiar with railway affairs and have been with her for a long time, so you can do a good job for her. She helps. Of course, don’t worry, I will give you the reward you deserve.”

"What reward?" Mary asked curiously.

Ciel hesitated.

There was no need to hide the matter now. He could be honest to a certain extent with this loyal pawn who had been tested many times.

"Sooner or later I will become a minister, and as soon as I become a minister, I will set up a railway federation, bring together all the existing railway companies, and then eliminate a few unsuitable ones to implement a licensing system. In the future, only if the government issues a license will it be allowed to intervene in the railway industry, otherwise not a single sleeper will be allowed to be manufactured. ." Charles explained to her in a low voice, "Yes, this will be a monopoly enterprise organization. It is used to exclude new companies and integrate the entire national railway network. By the way, you can find a job in it. Act as my eyes and ears. I think this is a worthy reward for you, right?"

It’s really good, so beautiful. Doesn’t this mean that I am about to become one of the people who affects the country’s economy behind the scenes? Mary's heart was on fire.

However, just because she was so happy in her heart, she remained calm on the surface.

"You...you always whet my appetite with things from the future, sir. Would you be embarrassed if I asked you for a reward now?"

"What? Aren't you satisfied?" Charles's reaction to Mary was strange. Logically speaking, such long-term rewards are enough to drive anyone crazy...

"Satisfied, I'm very satisfied with your arrangement, but... you always give me promissory notes. Can't you cash in some cash and give it to me now?" Mary replied with a smile.

"Cash? You want money? Well, how much do you want? If it's reasonable, I'll give it... Well, this time Fran goes to the south, you can take a commission from this transaction... Uh, you... "Char's words were interrupted before he could finish speaking.

Because right in front of him, Mary stood up gently. Then he pushed aside the tulle that was already very low at the neckline, "I want your cash now..."

"You..." Charles already understood what she meant.

Even though he knew something was wrong, he still couldn't look away.

Yes, ever since Charlotte was confirmed to be pregnant. He had been idle for too long, and after a little teasing, the fire in his heart could no longer be extinguished.

When Mary came to him, he pulled her into his arms.

"You...why did you do this?" His voice was trembling.

"It's like paying taxes." Mary's face was close to Charles's neck, so her voice changed slightly, "You did what you were supposed to do. Then I have to fulfill my responsibilities, right?"

"Huh? Pay taxes?" Charles was a little confused.

"Yes, I have received the protection of your grandfather and you, and relied on the help of your family to improve my status. Isn't it reasonable to pay some price?" Mary smiled slightly on the back of her neck that he could not see. He got up and said, "vassals have to pay tribute to the lords. Haven't we been like this since ancient times? Just accept the tribute with peace of mind."

"Hahahaha!" After hearing what Mary said, Charles couldn't help laughing out of novelty, but with a smile, he inexplicably felt that Mary's words made sense.

That's right, my grandfather and I protected her, and I let her share my power and prestige. Logically speaking, isn't it reasonable for her to repay me in some way?

Wait, there still seems to be something wrong... What is wrong? Ciel fell into deep thought.

Mary's body was pressed tightly against his, and because she was so thinly dressed, Charles felt the heat so thoroughly that he also became hot.

His hand seemed to move involuntarily, placed on Mary's body, and slid gently.

Mary's face slowly turned red, and her eyes felt like they could drip water.

Oh my god, not long after I promised Charlotte, she was pregnant with my child, and now I’m doing this? Doesn't that look like a scumbag?

At this moment, grandpa's warning, "You have gained the qualification to do whatever you want through your hard work, so why don't you reward yourself by doing whatever you want? Otherwise, what's the point of working so hard?" The warning echoed in my mind again. heart.

Charles slowly stopped. He felt that his mind was a little confused, and the concepts of the 18th century and the 20th century were entangled in his mind.

"What are you worried about? Worried about your wife?" Mary also keenly noticed Charles' hesitation, so she looked up at him, "What does it matter? I won't bother her, and I don't plan to ask you to do anything. I'm just fulfilling my responsibilities-you just want to take a rest, right? Since it's rare to have time, then... just... rest?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she buried her head in Charles' neck again, and then stuck out her tongue and gently

Indeed, it seems that she is right? Do I need to be so afraid of Charlotte? With my status, even if I have some fun in private, what's wrong? I will still fulfill my responsibilities well, right? Even Grandpa, doesn't he support me? The Treville family naturally doesn't need to worry so much.

In this series of stimulations, Charles slowly found an excuse for himself.

"You-are really like a cat." Feeling the lubrication and tingling on his neck, Charles smiled bitterly and gently stroked her hair.

Mary suddenly tilted her head back, looked at Charles, and then put her hands on her face and made a face.

"Meow~~~!"

I can't stand it anymore!

Charles picked her up and threw her on the bed. (~^~)
