Flowers, Swords and France

After his sister and Laura left, Charles picked up a set of hardcover books from the side, and then based on the drawings on the books, he began to identify the soil in the greenhouse and the seeds in the boxes.

In fact, he is not a person who likes gardening very much, but he has always been serious in his actions. Now that he has decided to develop such a hobby for himself, he must go to the end, so he has now begun to study and study these things. In addition, Charlotte is approaching her due date, so he has been staying in the greenhouse under construction in his recent spare time, supervising the progress of the construction and reading related books.

Just when he was immersed in his new hobby, soft footsteps suddenly sounded from behind. Charles put down his book and took a look, and found that his sister had come back.

Charles noticed that her brows were furrowed and her steps were tense, as if she was holding back anger.

"You didn't quarrel with her, did you?" Charles was a little worried. In his impression, his sister was not a person who didn't know the importance of things. He didn't know why. "Since some things have passed, it's better to let them go..."

"I didn't quarrel with her, sir." Fran's breathing became slightly faster, looking anxious and angry. "On the contrary, we had a good talk for a while, and she told me some things."

"Something?" Charles suddenly had a bad feeling from his sister's expression, "What is it?"

"She told me that she... was also a victim of your desire." Fran stared at Charles closely, her face began to turn red. Of course, this was not because of shyness. "At that time, I heard her tell you After all the facts, you...you raped her, is this true?"

When he heard such a question, Charlotte froze immediately. He did not expect that Laura, who had always been arrogant and had high self-esteem, would be willing to tell others such a shameful and humiliating situation.

However, the fact is the fact after all. There is no point in denying it.

"Yes, it's true. I was so angry that I exceeded the limits of reason, and then I raped him." He nodded crisply.

"You...you..." Fran's face was completely red. His lips were trembling and he could no longer speak.

"She tricked you into helping commit such a crime, and then used you to threaten me. Of course I want her to learn a lesson so that she won't look down on us again in the future." Charles shrugged, looking completely unashamed. "It turns out that this lesson seems to be effective, and she will never dare to be so arrogant in front of us again."

However, although he sounded so confident, he actually felt a little guilty in his heart.

"Yes... yes... your lesson is really powerful..." Fran became even more angry when she saw her brother taking it so seriously, "You... you must be very proud of your great achievements, right?" Look, you have used all of my friends as tools to show off your desires. God knows... God knows how many goals and trophies you have now and in the future!

"You shouldn't talk to me like that." Charles' face darkened slightly when he heard these sarcastic words. "I...I am responsible for my private life."

"You can do it, but I can't say it?" Fran asked loudly. "So you still feel that this kind of thing is unspeakable to others? Then why...why do you still enjoy it so much! Look, my friends and my enemies...you have caught up with them one by one, and then you followed I'm pretending to be reserved! Do you know that this is tantamount to humiliating me? In your eyes, am I not as good as them?"

This is where she is angry!

Even Ciel couldn't help being surprised.

He looked at the other person again. Wearing a white skirt, the petite woman had her golden hair pulled into a bun and pinned back. The red face seemed like a ripe apple. If you ignore the anger on the face, it would actually be more cute. She was more beautiful than any woman he had ever seen - and it was not because of the selfishness of the siblings that he judged her like this.

"They...well, they are each cute in their own way, but none of them are as beautiful as you. Be more confident in yourself."

"Then why do you keep rejecting my love!" Fran walked up to him. He asked loudly, "You...you would rather play with them than accept my sincerity, why!"

"This is not the same thing." After a moment, Ciel replied with a slight hesitation, "This is different."

"What's different!"

"Isn't this obvious? We are brother and sister..." Charles shook his head and sighed, "This is not okay, this will not be tolerated by the world."

"No? No? Why not?" Fran asked loudly, and then hugged him arrogantly, "Isn't it enough that you love me and I love you? We...we have been together for so many years, and we care about each other. Isn’t it right to be together? But for a ridiculous obstacle, you say no? We are members of the Treville family, why should we care about what the world thinks?”

Ciel was held so firmly that he suddenly had difficulty breathing. He tried hard to grab Fran's shoulders and shook them hard, but it had no effect.

It's so unlike her to be yelling like this.

"You love me, love me more than anyone else, but why are you unwilling to follow your heart and respond to me! Yes, we have been together for so many years, and I can feel your heartbeat..." Fran While hugging him tightly, she burst into tears, tears pouring down her face, "If you care about your reputation, then I can never see the light of day. ! I just want to stay by your side forever... Isn't that even possible? Why are you so cruel, even trampling on my humble wish? You are the only one in my eyes, Then you ran away with a smile on your face, trying to pretend that nothing happened. This is more than cruel, it is despicable! "

She cursed and cried, soaking Ciel's shirt.

Because she cried so miserably, Charles suddenly couldn't bear it anymore, so he no longer tried to break away, but just touched her back, trying to comfort her.

"Not only does the world disapprove of it, Grandpa won't agree to it either. Don't you still see the reality? We have everything now and are almost beyond the law. All we need to worry about is the last little thing. , why do we have to take such big risks to do these few things that put us both at great risk? You know, if this thing gets out, we... both of us will face it. What kind of dilemma?"

Rather than comforting his sister, he was speaking to himself. Remind yourself not to make big mistakes when the situation is good.

"I know, I know... But if we can't be known to others, then we don't want to be known. If we are afraid of people's words, we can let others never dare to say no! Why should we choose to do it instead? To restrain yourself?" Fran buried her head in her brother's arms. "I know this is willful and embarrassing, but you know everything... you can do anything, then you can definitely do it! And I... although I am not smart enough or capable enough, I will I will always be with you and serve you, making up for my incompetence with unparalleled loyalty! As long as we work together and keep each other secret, who can attack us with unfounded suspicions? Please, promise me!"

"Don't say such silly things, kid." Charles shook his head gently.

"Then you really don't love me?" Fran asked stubbornly.

"How can I not love you!" Charles replied loudly. "But this is not a matter of saying love is enough. We live in the real world!"

Yes, how could he not love her? They have been together for so many years and watched her grow up little by little and become such a beautiful woman.

I don't know since when, my love for her turned into a mixture of family affection and love. I can't even tell which side is more. It is precisely for this reason. When he heard that Fran had betrayed him, he was so sad that he almost lost his mind.

"You love me, and I love you too. Isn't this a very simple question? Why do you still hesitate so much!" Fran looked at him without giving in, "What is the real world, everything we have to do, is it true? Does anyone need to judge? No, no one has this right!”

"Stop saying such silly things!" Charles couldn't help scolding him again.

"How stupid is this? I am not a child, I am an adult. I have the right to fight for what I want, and even you have no right to tell me to let go." Fran cried and held on tightly. Stop him, "Really, sir, you have treated me so badly in this life. I'm very grateful, but I don't want anything else now. I only ask for that one thing. I beg you, for the sake of being so sincere and loyal, please promise me, okay? I can forgive you for everything you have done..."

Charles stopped talking. He found that he had been completely shaken by his sister's sobbing pleas.

When such a beautiful woman pours her heart out to you, how can you not have the thought "Then just promise her..."?

However, she really thought too simply.

"It's difficult to hide this kind of thing from the world..." Ciel sighed. "Besides, why do you need to live such a life? You are the one who can have everything. There is no need to sacrifice your life for me."

"But you are everything to me." Fran raised her head from his arms, with tears in her eyes, "If you abandon me and are no longer by my side, then everything will be of no use to me." What's the point? I might as well do it all over again..."

"No, don't! Don't do this!" Of course, Charles understood what she meant by "doing it again," and he was so panicked that he quickly stopped her. "Don't make fun of your own life. You have already made my grandpa and I heartbroken once. Don't do it a second time."

"If there was no despair, how could I do this? How could I bear to let you two suffer?" Fran's tears stayed again, "But sometimes I really feel that living is more uncomfortable than death. Really. It’s unbearable!”

"No matter how unbearable it is, you can't seek death." Charles interrupted her.

"Then give me an answer now, whether it's okay or not!" Fran kept looking at him, as if she wanted to reveal her determination in this way, "Stop escaping, this is not yours. Style! Do you want to show your love and live happily like a Treville, or do you want to live cowardly in the prison of the world, ruining my life and making yourself miserable?”

"Are you threatening me?" Charles' face stiffened.

“This isn’t a threat, it’s asking you to face the problem head on!”

Charles was silent again. Normally, if someone threatens me, I will never back down. But...she is the only one who really can't harden her heart anymore. He had endured that pain once and never wanted to do it again.

Yes, compared to the pain of losing her, what is facing the so-called worldly pressure?

"Do you know what you chose?" He sighed, and then asked solemnly.

"I know." Fran replied firmly.

Ciel was speechless again. Yes, the woman held in his arms is so charming that it is hard to put her down.

There are only a few people in the world who love me unreservedly, and she is one of them. Even if she never gets a response, her passion has not worn off.

Then... don't worry about it so much anymore, Ciel was heartbroken.

"Really, at least not now." After a long silence, Ciel replied.

"Not now..." Fran's eyes widened, and then she instantly became ecstatic. Because she understood the meaning of the other party's words.

Can the wish that I have been dreaming about for many years really come true?

After all, he still couldn't let me go... She shed tears again, but this time it was because of joy.

"Thank you sir, I really can't describe how happy I am right now."

"I just ask you not to regret it. Really, sometimes you can't go back after doing something." Charles shook his head.

"I don't regret it, and I never will." Fran replied decisively, "You know me. Once I decide something, I will definitely go on, no matter what, I will go to the end, and I will never look back."

"I hope you won't be so determined and extreme..." Ciel sighed again. Then he reached out and stroked her bright and smooth hair. "If I had known all this, I wouldn't have treated you the way I did in the past."

"Then it's too late for you to regret it now." Fran suddenly laughed. This tearful smile was still so cute.

"Okay, then just wait." Ciel let go of his hand and broke away from the other party's arms.

"Then...how long should we wait?" Fran asked doubtfully. "I'm already so old...Do you want to wait until my youth fades and my appearance becomes old? Can you bear it?"

"Think calmly. We can't do whatever we want now, and grandpa will not agree to our doing so. He will never allow us to destroy his decades of hard work and training because of our willfulness." Charles replied calmly.

"If grandpa doesn't stop it, will you agree?" Fran asked.

Charles smelled a bit of danger in her words. He had long known that his sister was more capable and less scrupulous than he thought.

"Hey! Don't mess around! He is our grandfather, the person who has taken care of you for twenty years! If you dare to do anything bad to him, I will never forgive you." He warned the other party sternly.

"Where are you thinking? How could I...how could I do something evil to him?" Fran asked with a wry smile, "Do you think I have become such a person in your heart? Well, maybe this is something. As for this kind of praise, for you, in order to get you, I am indeed willing to do anything. But please rest assured, I will never be unfavorable to grandpa. I...I will only use my efforts and my sincerity to influence him and let him understand my...our determination. I believe that even for a moment, We can’t understand it, but he will eventually agree with us and bless us..."

Unknowingly, her smile was full of longing, as if she was thinking of the distant future, "At that time, we will be able to live happily forever, and no one will be able to separate us."

"Let's talk about it when the time comes." Charles sighed, "Go back first and change your clothes. You can see what they are like now."

His shirt was soaked with tears, almost soaked and clinging to his body uncomfortably.

"Okay, I'll go back first, but before that, you... you have to attach a guarantee to your promise." Fran replied.

"Promise?" Charles was a little confused.

"Yes, promise...a guarantee that allows me to believe in your courage and commitment. I don't want to be fooled by you." A trace of red cloud suddenly appeared on Fran's face, and then she closed her eyes, "You ...You have never taken the initiative to kiss me. If you are willing this time, then I will believe you."

This... Ciel was greatly embarrassed.

"Don't you dare?" Fran asked slightly provocatively. "It's just a kiss."

Being so provoked by her, Ciel frowned and then lowered his head.

However, when the two people's lips were about to touch, Ciel couldn't help but stop.

God, what am I crazy about? Taking the initiative to kiss your sister in your own home? This thought flashed through his mind.

However, it was too late. Fran grabbed his neck and pulled him down hard, and the two kissed each other.

At first, Charles was a little flustered, but when their tongues were entangled, he slowly lost his mind and indulged in the unreserved love of the other party. The two kissed in the crystal house alone, and they separated after a long time.

Fran was also intoxicated by it. She was excited that she finally saw the dawn, and she was intoxicated that she finally got the love she had dreamed of. The world seemed to stop at this moment.

Thank you for your advice, Mary. It seems that tears are always useful at any time, as long as you find the right opportunity...(~^~)
