gentleman's servant

Catherine has always wanted to attract the baron's attention, and now she has succeeded. At least among the ladies, the baron is obviously the most satisfied with her, and even Miss Emily is defeated.

She had already inquired about the baron's preferences, but she did not take the unfamiliar path like Emily, but started with some things close to life.She knew that the relationship between the Baron and his mother was not good, so she acted softly but maternally, delicately yet toughly.This made her look very real, not at all artificial, as if she was born to be a kind and innocent girl.I know the Baron, and he appreciates these qualities in women, which is why he takes a liking to her.

I almost exhausted all my strength to suppress the anger in my heart. I waited until night, when the masters went back to their room to rest, and I finally said what was in my heart while serving the baron to change his clothes:

"Miss Catherine is not what she appears to be, she is very hypocritical..."

Under the dim candlelight, the Baron stopped undoing his tie. He looked at me strangely, as if he didn't understand why I said that suddenly.

"Please believe me, Miss Catherine is not a good marriage partner. If you plan to marry a noble lady, please don't choose Miss Catherine." Maybe I was too eager, I didn't even have the foreshadowing , said it all at once.

So in my eyes, the baron's expression gradually changed.

He called my surname with a very cold voice, so that I felt that the blood in my whole body froze in an instant.

"Mr. Eric." He said, "I don't know when the servants can intervene in the master's marriage. Maybe I have indulged you so much that you have forgotten your identity."

"I don't understand why you suddenly belittle the reputation of a noble lady. I believe you have a reason for the time being, but this is not an excuse for us to talk about the reputation of unmarried women. Because whether it is true or not, the reputation of unmarried women is related to their lives As a man, we should not spread gossip behind their backs." The baron hesitated and said, "Even though I am not close to the viscount's family, she is my cousin, and I hope you will be careful in the future." Be careful in your words and deeds, because she was once your master."

My face turned pale.

I think the baron must think me a sinister and mean person at this moment.

Not to mention that Catherine has always behaved well in front of the baron. Even if she is dirty, I should not talk about the right and wrong of the former owner in front of others, not to mention that she is still a weak woman.

what do I do?Tell the Baron I was born again so I know Catherine is a shameless woman?

The Baron wouldn't believe me, and even I wouldn't believe it myself.

What happened in the previous life?Ha, it must be a mental problem.

In his previous life, the baron had planned to marry Catherine as his wife, because he would inherit the title of viscount. According to the customary rules among nobles, if he was unmarried at that time, he should marry one of the daughters of the viscount, otherwise he lacked compassion.

I couldn't allow this to happen, so I said again: "My lord, can you promise me? Promise that I will never marry Miss Catherine."

The baron frowned. He was already very displeased, and said coldly: "Every man will get married, and so will I. As for which woman to marry, this is my own decision, and outsiders should not interfere."

I eagerly grabbed the baron's arm: "My lord, please don't marry Miss Catherine anyway, I beg you."

The Baron was even angrier. He stared at me and said, "Do you like Miss Catherine? That's why you begged me not to marry her."

I froze for a moment, and hurriedly denied: "No, why would you think so."

"Because I can't imagine how a man would suddenly belittle an elegant and beautiful lady and ask another man not to marry her. If I remember correctly, this lady once supported your mother and made your sister a Her personal maid, not only did she not do anything sorry for you, but she has a lot of kindness to you, what I said is not wrong."

"She asked my sister to be her personal maid just to hear about you!" I said eagerly.

"So? You are jealous, and you want to belittle this lady's character in front of me."

The baron was aggressive and even a little unreasonable. I was forced to do nothing, and finally raised two fingers: "I swear to God, I don't love Miss Catherine. Every word I say tonight is for you."

The baron didn't seem to think that I would swear, he looked at me in surprise: "You don't need to swear for such a thing."

But I felt like I was going to collapse. I heard the baron questioning me just now. He asked me if I fell in love with Catherine. I felt as if I was being judged by the baron who killed me in my previous life. I was drenched in cold sweat in a short time. clothing.

"I'm stepping back, my lord." I said weakly, and wanted to leave the baron's bedroom.

"Wait a minute." The baron grabbed me, he was hesitant, as if struggling with how to speak.

"I never doubted your words, Owen, I believe what you said, you are a brave and selfless person, and you have always treated me...very good. Twice when I was in danger, you gave your life to protect me. I am grateful to you, I trust you more."

"I never gave my life to protect you, I know that nothing will happen to us..." I explained eagerly.

"No, Owen, you did protect me. I have never met anyone who protects me like you in my life, not even my parents, only you." The baron said softly: "My tone was terrible just now, I I don’t even know what happened to me.”

"You're right. I really shouldn't judge a lady behind her back. I'm sorry. This kind of thing won't happen again." I said angrily, and I regretted my ignorance just now.Rebirth is an incredible thing, I must be more careful and cautious about my words and deeds.Anyone who hears my request just now may doubt my motives, and the baron's reaction is not wrong.

"But...you really haven't fallen in love with that lady?" The baron said hesitantly, "I heard from the servant of Mormont Manor that you have always been very attentive to her."

I raised my eyes in surprise, did the baron ask me?He knew that Catherine had sponsored my mother, and that I had been good to her at Mormont Park.

The baron looked away, looked out of the dark window and said: "If this is your request, then I agree to you. But if you are asking me not to marry her because you are in love with her, then as your master, I I must remind you that she is a noble lady, even if you fall in love with her, you will never have any future. That lady will never love you, let alone marry you."

"I...I didn't fall in love with Miss Catherine..." I explained feebly, "I just swore to God..."

The baron blushed suddenly, turned his back and said, "I'm not... saying that you can't fall in love with Catherine, of course you can fall in love with any lady. But you have to be self-aware, and you have to see your identity clearly. Before you When I was courting Mrs. Shirley, I have already said that in any outburst of emotion, the first thing that cannot be ignored is morality. We must always pay attention to our own conduct and refrain from committing despicable and shameful acts."

How did he involve Mrs. Shirley again?I froze for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"Mr. Owen Eric, what do you think of what I just said?" The baron seemed not to let me go, and he followed this topic without hesitation.

"You're right." I nodded. "I've never thought about having a relationship with any noble lady. It's just a fantasy."

"Then you haven't thought about being the lover of a rich woman? I know everything about you seducing Mrs. Shirley."

Of course, I thought about becoming Mrs. Shirley's lover, but that was just one of my plans. Being with the baron now seems to be more conducive to my revenge, so the plan of becoming a lover has been put on hold for now.

Perhaps because of my brief hesitation, the baron's attitude became aggressive: "It seems that you have not given up on being the lover of a rich widow. I think that after these days of teaching, you have already possessed basic etiquette, integrity, and a gentleman's moral conduct." , and gave up those shady thoughts, but you let me down too much."

I just don't know what to say. Originally, I was begging him not to marry Catherine, but how did the topic get around to my wanting to be a white face, and it never came back.What's more, it was already half a year ago to seduce Mrs. Shirley, but the baron grabbed my braid and condemned me endlessly. Maybe he really despised what I did.

"I never thought of being Mrs. Shirley's lover. I'm just a lowly servant. How could that noble lady do anything wrong with someone of my status." I said with difficulty.

"Then you mean that if she accepts you readily, you will be disrespectful."

"...No, of course not, I will definitely refuse..."

So far, the baron seems to be finally satisfied, he nodded and said: "This is the best, as a servant of Delman Manor, especially my personal servant, your integrity and morality are very important, I don't want you to do... ... Do you understand the humiliation of my identity? Even if you have kindness to me, if you do something wrong, I will definitely punish you. "

"...Yes, my lord."

"Very well, the education you have received during this period has achieved some results, and I am very satisfied. You have to understand that we live in this world, and morality and integrity are above all else." The baron concluded with righteous words.

"Follow your orders." I said with my head down.

The topic of the dispute just now was very strange, and the baron seemed to feel embarrassed. He coughed and said, "Okay, you can step back."

I left the baron's bedroom in a hurry. Although I was reprimanded, I finally got an affirmative answer from the baron. The baron said that he promised not to marry Catherine, which is the only thing I want.

In this life, no matter what tricks Viscount Bruce's family uses, I will not let them succeed.
