shadow love

In the Montmorency Castle, in the large living room based on the retro style, André de Montmorency is sitting leisurely on the brown sofa with fine embroidery in the middle. Several sets of sofas are lazy Surrounded in a circle, in the middle is a yellow marble carved round table that echoes the sofa. On the round table are antique ceramics with black background and yellow body decorated with patterns painted in dark brown and light green. There is also a small and exquisite Purple gift box, exquisite Scottish cashmere handmade rugs placed under this sofa set.

Behind the sofa are 3 floor-to-ceiling windows with pale green curtains, and the middle window can be opened like a door.

Looking out of the window, the sight on the left is a lush grove, with a small garden in the middle, full of flowers, and white round tables and chairs, which look more secluded and quiet against the backdrop of the ancient city wall in the distance.

There is a large swimming pool not far to the right. In the rest area on the right side of the pool, there are a few simple European-style lounge chairs scattered around, surrounded by various decorative flowers and plants.

The afternoon sun was just right, and three beams of light shone into the castle hall through the half-drawn windows, forming regular patterns on the floor and carpet.

A beautiful woman opened the door and walked in, looking at Andre with eyes full of fascination.

"If I remember correctly, you shouldn't be here now." Wearing a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his arms, Andre said to Eva who had just entered the door while looking at the documents in his hand.

Eva is an extremely delicate young lady. She met Andre at a party a year ago and fell in love with him at first sight.

Her father, Balk Kasdei, is the major shareholder of Europe's largest mercenary group, and he has cooperated with the Montmorency family a lot, even though Eva is the same as Balk when he was in his 40s. Her illegitimate daughter, but because she got a daughter when she was old, and she was born cute and beautiful, she has always been doted on.

She is wearing a simple and decent white gauze dress today. She has an oval face, big piercing eyes, long curly brown hair, slightly lifted corners of her eyes and slanted eyebrows, no matter which angle she looks at. The discerning perfect lover.

"I'm worried that you miss me. I finally got rid of the accompanying bodyguards and came here!" Eva blinked, walked to the long dining table covered with orange tablecloth not far from the sofa, took a sip of fruit wine , Leaning on the dining table and turning to look at Andre.

"Didn't you go to Indonesia?" Andre raised his eyes and looked at Eva calmly, without any surprise or doubt. For him, there seemed to be no one or anything out of his control.

"Yeah, I was going, but I managed to sneak out a few minutes before boarding." Eva twirled her fingers through her hair with an innocent and proud expression, put down her glass and walked to the sofa next to Andre to sit down. Down.

"Really, I have something to leave later. If you want to stay and visit here, I will arrange for Maher to take care of you, but you'd better inform your family first." Andre put down the documents at hand, got up and prepared to go upstairs .

"We haven't seen each other for a long time, and he finally came, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Eva stood in front of Andre and blocked his way, her hands willfully climbed onto his neck, tiptoed and kissed him, she closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and Andre responded politely to her enthusiasm, no Avoidance and no hugs.

"Andre, could it be that I've done something wrong recently that made you unhappy?" Eva took a step back and looked at Andre with burning eyes.

"No, it's just that I said earlier, don't put all your energy on me, you should know my rules." With a half-smile, Andre picked up the purple gift box on the round table and handed it to Eva, "This is what I went to before A gift from Egypt, I hope you like it."

"I don't want a gift, you have been very cold to me recently!" Eva stared at Andre with some dissatisfaction, but still took the gift.

"You should be very clear that I have always treated you all equally." No matter what Andre said, he felt it was a matter of course. Of course, he also had this charm and momentum, and there was never a shortage of stunning beauties around him.

"Can't you give me a little privilege, I also want to live here from time to time, why not? I really don't understand, Andre?" Eva acted like a baby, with a glint of expectation in her eyes.

"You are always welcome to come as a guest." Andre smiled.

"You know that's not what I meant!" Eva was still bitter about being just one of his lovers.

"Don't test my bottom line, Eva, you've always been a smart woman." He kissed Eva's forehead, went around and went upstairs.

"I won't give you up!" Ever since she was a child, there was nothing Eva couldn't get. She believed that there was no better woman than her, and Andre would be hers sooner or later.

In the study room on the third floor, Andre opened a thick book about ancient Egyptian civilization, not for reading at this time, but just inadvertently, reminding him of an uncontrolled person who never knows who What a person thinks about what he wants to do and what he will say in the next moment, he can always do jaw-dropping things with a calm face. He is passionate and proud, evil and pure, like a fan.

Andre stared at the ghost symbol on the upper left corner of the last page of the book, discerned it carefully, and then showed a helpless expression. He had arranged for his subordinates to check the ghost symbol, but they found nothing until now. While he was angry, he also felt fresh. That person just disappeared. I don’t know if he went to Egypt to study obelisks and pyramids now. He always likes to study weird things.

Should he go to Egypt again, maybe he can still meet, Andre was thinking in his heart.

Dong dong dong~ There was a pause on the knock on the door, and the almighty butler Maher pushed open the door of the study.

"Your Excellency, I just received a call. Mr. Luo Jue will come to France for a magic tour next Wednesday. This is an invitation." Maher presented the envelope with black paper and blue borders with both hands respectfully.

"Well~ Arrange the time for Wednesday." Andre closed the book in his hand and put it back on the shelf, turned around and sat down staring at the electronic screen in front of him, paused and looked up at Maher: "Have you found any news about him?"

"Ah,,, according to news, Mr. Feng Yan has already left Europe, and he should be in a certain country in Asia now, but he seems to deliberately hide his whereabouts, and we have no further clues yet." Maher raised his eyes Observe Andre's demeanor.

"Continue to inquire secretly, don't disturb him yet." Andre frowned, and quickly returned to his usual serious expression.

"I understand... In addition, recently we discovered that the big bosses in North America who control oil and rare metals have intervened in Europe's behind-the-scenes arms transactions, and there are signs of contact with the Castel family."

"Well, I already know about this, you go down first."

After Maher responded, he bowed and exited the study.

Maher has lived with his father in Montmorency Castle since he was 15 years old, and has been trained as the future Duke's butler since he was a child. It is Mahir's biggest goal to become the best butler of the Montmorency family. With the growth of the Duke, André de Montmorency, the head of Montmorency today, is exceptional. He is not only outstanding in appearance, but also calm, thoughtful and good at self-control. In terms of ability, he is also better than blue. The only thing that Maher is a little puzzled about is the duke's bisexuality.

Of course, with Andre's powerful position, no one dares to speak out even if he is in a same-sex relationship.

Maher often reflects on himself. As a butler, he should learn to observe his words and feelings, and complete the tasks assigned by the Duke perfectly. He should not think too much about other matters, especially the private affairs of the Duke. He has always done a good job, but now he has some Confused.

The Duke has been secretly following the movements of this great magician, Luo Jue. They have known each other for many years and have always kept in close contact. This is an open secret among the core figures of the Montmorency family.

Every time Master Luojue came to be a guest, everyone would be cautious and treat him as the Duke himself. Some servants even speculated that Luojue was Andre's special lover and enjoyed special treatment, but Maher knew in his heart that this was not the case, the Duke Although he has always taken good care of Master Luojue, there is nothing out of the ordinary, and Master Luojue seems to have always treated Andre as a friend.

Based on Maher's personal understanding of the Duke, Master Luo Jue is definitely a special existence, making the Duke unable to advance and never give up.

In recent months, the Duke suddenly ordered Maher to strengthen the protection measures for Master Luo Jue, increase the number of bodyguards secretly placed beside him, and track down Feng Yan who suddenly left and disappeared some time ago. This is really unbelievable, Maher I feel that Mr. Feng, who has only been with me for two weeks, is a freak. He must have provoked the Duke, and he has something to do with Master Luojue. He didn't want to use strong methods to deal with Feng Yan. In the past, when people who threatened Master Luo Jue appeared, Andre would not show mercy. This feeling of being restrained was very subtle.

Judging from the current situation, Maher couldn't judge what the Duke was thinking, which made him a little timid when tracking Feng Yan.Multiple investigations also proved that there was something wrong with Feng Yan. Even if the power of the Montmorency family was used, only a small amount of information was obtained, only that Feng Yan had a strong backing support.

Recently, the influence of North American bigwigs has also slowly invaded Europe. Who is pulling the strings behind the scenes, and who is the main target, is still a cloud of fog, which makes Maher uneasy.
