Chapter 49
With a cigarette in his hand, Lestrade just stood in the corner and looked up at the bustling street intersection in the distance. Although he had sent Athena and Prince Albert to Mycroft's car, he There is still no thought of leaving here.
He was not in a hurry to bring those captured upstairs back to Scotland Yard, nor was he in a hurry to go back to deal with errands immediately. Instead, he just stood leisurely in the corner smoking a cigarette, as if he was waiting for someone to come here.
From the throat, a blue smoke ring spewed out, before staying in mid-air for a few seconds, it was suddenly blown away by a gust of wind.Lestrade looked up, it turned out to be a car coming towards him.
He smiled slightly, took down the remaining half of the cigarette, threw it on the ground, and crushed it with his leather shoes.After doing all this, Fang just put his hands behind his back and waited respectfully for the visitor.
Sure enough, a driver stepped out of the car and opened the rear door for him. Lestrade looked at the driver and smiled slightly: "Thank you!"
After speaking, he nodded and walked straight up. The temperature inside the car was much warmer than that in the cold wind. Lestrade looked at the old duke slightly and said, "Father!"
"Hmm..." The Duke of Lancashire closed his eyes slightly, and opened his eyes when he heard the voice, looked at Lestrade and asked him, "Where's the Waltz?"
"It's up there, I can bring him down at any time." Lestrade's voice was very soft, and he was not very sure about doing this, because he had never made such a plan like today.
The Duke of Lancashire didn't notice these careful thoughts of Lestrade, he just sighed again and again: "How did I raise such a son! The name of the Duke of Lancashire for a hundred years will be tarnished by him, He has the blood of the noble Plantagenet Dynasty in his bones!"
Speaking of this, the Duke of Lancashire lamented even more, and scolded Waltz in front of Lestrade.
Lestrade didn't react at all, he was used to this routine, every time his father came to pick up Waltz who made a mistake, he always had to count Waltz from beginning to end in front of his own face.After scolding Walz, he finally turned around and praised himself for his ability to comfort him.
As Lestrade expected, after the Duke of Lancashire finished scolding Waltz, he slowly stretched out his hand and squeezed Lestrade's wrist, and said affectionately: "Thanks to you! Greg, you You will never let me down, you are the son who is most like me! After you marry Mrs. Pembasa and enter the navy, you will definitely do a lot and revive the century-old reputation of our Lancashire family."
It's a cliché, no surprise.It seems that these few words of praise are the rewards for Lestrade after cleaning up the mess for Waltz, and even he was deeply immersed in such praises and couldn't extricate himself!He really thought he was the son his father cared about the most!
Lestrade chuckled, turned his head to look at the Duke of Lancashire suddenly, and said, "Father! Why do I always have to clean up these trivial things for Waltz? Am I the housekeeper of Lancashire's family? Huh?"
"Greg what are you talking about...you are me..."
Lestrade interrupted him abruptly, and continued: "There is nothing so cheap in the world, and your praise is probably not as valuable as you imagined. Father, if you want to take Waltz away today, you have to promise me one condition." !"
The Duke of Lancashire obviously did not expect Lestrade's sudden negotiation, but he could still hear the discussion of the crowd in the distance. No one else could help at this juncture except Lestrade. He would never let the whole of London know that he had a gay son.
Thinking of the Duke of Lancashire, he restrained himself, looked at Lestrade and said patiently and gently: "Of course! Of course! I know this matter is difficult for you, and of course you deserve something in return." .Whatever you want, I'll give it to you if I can, okay?"
Speaking of which, the Duke of Lancashire reached out and patted Lestrade on the shoulder, but Lestrade just smiled and said, "It's not what I want, but what I don't want. Please give up and let me marry Pemba Mrs. Shah's idea! And... Please give up the idea of letting me join the navy!
I am very satisfied with my current life. I don't want to be an invader with the army of the motherland. It is enough for me to stay in my own position and do my job well. "
"What did you say?" The Duke of Lancashire laughed suddenly. He didn't believe what Lestrade said now, but he asked again: "Are you serious?"
"Of course father, please don't meddle in my life anymore, okay? I don't want to marry Mrs. Pembasa, do you hear me clearly?" Lestrade's tough tone was unprecedented.
The Duke of Lancashire looked at Lestrade in shock. He didn't understand how Lestrade, who had always listened to his own words the most, proposed today that he would give up the marriage that had been discussed for a long time.
"If you agree, I will personally send Waltz down. If you cannot agree, then I will do business!" Lestrade said lightly, but the threat in his words was as strong as black| Fire | medicine in general.
The Duke of Lancashire narrowed his eyes slightly, but his already cloudy eyes were as fast as a falcon.After a long time, the Duke of Lancashire suddenly laughed, and asked lightly, "Are you... threatening me?"
"No father! I'm...begging you!" Lestrade looked straight at the Duke of Lancashire, refusing to back down.
The Duke of Lancashire said, "This matter is negotiable. You bring Waltz out first, and we go back! Go home and talk about it! Okay?"
Lestrade looked at the Duke of Lancashire's flattering expression, but smiled helplessly: "Father thought I was Waltz? You said that I was the child most like you, do you think I would believe it?" said Seeing that, Lestrade tilted his head, and before the Duke of Lancashire could reply, he put the fedora hat on his head and prepared to get out of the car.
"Greg! Do you really want to do this?" The Duke of Lancashire suddenly reprimanded, and it seemed that he was going to try another trick.
But Lestrade opened the car door and said calmly: "Father, the reputation of this family is always the most important! Isn't it? I believe you will make the most sensible choice, and let the driver come up to pick you up after you think about it." Come on! It's too cold, I really don't want to make another trip."
Speaking of this, Lestrade gathered his clothes again, raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said, "I'll wait for you for 5 minutes, will it be enough after 5 minutes?"
After saying that, Bilestrade turned around and was about to leave, but he heard the Duke of Lancashire behind him slapping the rear seat furiously, and scolded in a rough voice: "You really let me down! Gregory, you are as good as you are!" The mother is exactly the same, it can't be used for any purpose, lowly blood..."
Lestrade stopped in his tracks, looked back at the Duke of Lancashire suddenly and said with a smile: "Your disappointment is nothing serious, and I don't live just to keep you from being disappointed. I have my own life, and I started from the very beginning. I shouldn't live my whole life distorted for such a pitiful and deformed father's love you gave me.
Father, do you think I'm low?Think my blood is cheap?But you are begging me now!What's the use of being noble?If it hadn't been for me, all of London would hear your noble and ancient name again when Waltz left this building.At that time, what is the use of being noble? "
Lestrade spoke calmly, without even the slightest bit of hatred in his tone, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"Duke of Lancashire, I'm suddenly glad that I'm just an illegitimate child, and I didn't get to bear your surname. Otherwise, I would live like you, how pitiful it would be!" Lestrade raised his hat slightly and said : "Different from your appearance for the sake of fame, I will live the rest of my life according to my own wishes. I want to do what I like, I want to love who I like, and I want to live happily!"
After saying that, Lestrade turned around and left with his head turned.
And there was only the angry Duke of Lancashire in the car, who kept cursing the ignorant illegitimate son, who kept cursing Lestrade's mother's low ballet dancer blood, who kept cursing everything Do something against his will.
But Lestrade was extremely happy. If it weren't for Athena's words at the beginning, he would never have understood how abnormal the Duke of Lancashire's love for him as a father was.He lived for decades, and all his efforts were just to make his father feel happy and satisfied. He never really lived the life he wanted.
How ironic!
Lestrade exhaled easily, and walked upstairs with light steps, as if after today's conversation ended, he would have a completely different new life.
At the very least, he can boldly pursue Athena without any scruples.
Thinking of this, Lestrade felt even more happy, and even thought about asking Athena to go out to watch a concert in a serious manner after only waiting for this matter to be dealt with today.
Lord Waltz, who was locked in the room, struggled for a long time but no one paid attention to him, and finally gave up struggling and sat aside with his legs crossed.
"Why don't you bark?" Lestrade pushed open the door and looked at the fragile and overwhelmed Waltz on the ground. For some reason, he had this untimely gloating feeling for the first time.
As soon as Waltz saw him coming in, he stood up quickly while leaning on the wall, and kept asking, "Where have you been? How could you leave me here alone? Do you really want me to go out and be killed by those people?" Did you see the face? Dad won't allow it! If you do this, he won't let you go!"
Lestrade looked at him and smiled lightly: "I have already met the Duke of Lancashire just now, and I threw you out to be admired by everyone like a rare treasure, or quietly took you away from here. Now... all It's the Duke of Lancashire's choice, not mine."
"What did you do?" Waltz asked with his eyes wide open.
Lestrade leaned on the table, folded his hands on his chest and said lightly: "Everyone has to pay for their actions! You have to pay your price, and the Duke of Lancashire has to pay his price too. It's unfair to want to take advantage of fame without paying the corresponding price!
I just made a deal with Duke Lancai, don't worry!You'll be fine!But the Duke of Lancashire is not looking out for the sake of his beloved young son. I think he probably doesn't want to see the Lancashire family's name on the headlines of the newspaper! "
Speaking of which, Lestrade patted Waltz, who was already frightened, and said in a low voice: "For you, it is a kind of luck to have the same surname as the Duke of Lancashire, because this surname...he will have it all his life. To clean up the mess for you."
"Don't worry, my dear...brother!"
