The years when I was a nobleman in the world of Terra

Chapter 66 Chapter 65 What Love Really Needs

This story begins 30 years ago. At that time, Marquis Luna was a very famous woman in Casimir.

Her fame comes from two aspects, one is Luna's extraordinary beauty, and the other is because she is the only daughter of the Marquis family.

Luna's father was a deeply affectionate person. After Luna's mother died, he never married another woman, so he only had a daughter like Luna under his knees.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that after the death of the old Marquis, Luna must inherit the title of Marquis.And the more critical point is that in Casimir's traditional concept, women generally do not inherit the title.

If there are only female descendants left in a certain family, generally speaking, a marriage is required, and then the title will be inherited by the partner of the marriage.

To put it simply, unless Luna does not marry for life, her life partner will inherit the title of Marquis.

To be able to have a beautiful spouse, and also to have the title of Marquis, there is nothing better than this in the world.

So from the day Luna became an adult, there has never been a day when no one came to her door to propose marriage.Even the old Marquis held countless blind date dinners for his daughter's marriage, and every time the people who attended could fill the entire castle.

Among the suitors, there are some handsome and handsome, some who have obtained the title of nobility by virtue of their military exploits at a young age, and even the second son of the Marquis family who is well-matched.

It's a pity that none of this group of suitors who are absolutely excellent can be considered by Luna herself, which really troubled the old Marquis.

But after all, Luna is the only daughter of the old Marquis and his deceased wife, and she has always been treated by the old Marquis as the apple of his eye. The old Marquis did not dare to force his daughter, so he could only comfort himself. When Luna grows up, You might be able to find someone you like.

The days passed day by day, and finally when Luna was 25 years old, the old Marquis had no choice but to issue an ultimatum.

On the one hand, Luna is not young anymore. In Casimir's aristocratic circle, a 25-year-old woman should have become a parent long ago.On the other hand, the old marquis also felt that his body was getting worse day by day, so he also desperately hoped to find a suitable heir to protect his daughter from wind and rain.

But even so, Luna, who has always believed in the word "fate", did not want to obey the old Marquis' decision, and secretly escaped from the castle on a rainy night.

What happened next was a rather clichéd story.

The girl wandering around in the rainy night was suffering from hunger and cold. Fortunately, a kind earl found her and brought her back to his castle to take care of her.

And during this period of taking care of and being taken care of, a man and a woman have secret feelings for each other.

Luna returned to her home, and wanted to tell her father the good news that she had found the person she loved, but unexpectedly found that the old Marquis had passed away while she was away from the castle.

And what made Luna even more unbelievable was that the old marquis also left a "suicide note", appointing the second son of another marquis family to be her husband.

Of course Luna wouldn't believe everything in front of her eyes, she didn't believe that her father would leave so suddenly, and she didn't believe that her father would force herself to do something she didn't want to do.

She asked her relatives and everyone in the castle for proof, but the conclusions she got in the end were all so consistent.

The death of the old Marquis was purely accidental, and the old Marquis did say that Luna's husband was the second son of the Marquis's family.

Unable to accept her father's departure, and also unable to accept that she was about to marry as a wife, Luna wanted to return to her beloved Earl, but the second son of the Marquis family had already asked her subordinates to marry him. The castle left by the old Marquis was tightly surrounded.

There was no way to refuse, let alone escape, the only thing Luna could do was to stay in her room in despair, waiting for everything that would happen next.

On the day of the big wedding, Luna with empty eyes changed into a white wedding dress, followed a man she didn't like at all, walked into the sacred wedding hall, and then...

Then there is no more.

Life is not a novel, and there will not be so many accidents. The wedding went smoothly, and Luna finally married the second son of the Marquis family.

But I don't know whether it was God's mercy or God's prank. Three years later, there was another war between Casimir and Ursus.

Luna's husband, the second son of the Marquis family, his elder brother, and his father all died on the battlefield.

With no heirs and no male successors, the title of marquis has once again returned to Luna's hands, that is, the Marquis of Luna who is now sitting in front of Charlotte.

Obviously, this is a simple and sad story, and Marquis Luna is undoubtedly a miserable woman.

But Charlotte's focus is not on this. What he really cares about is why Marquis Luna wants to tell him such a story.

Is it purely touching the scene, or is there another reason?

The story of Marquis Luna was finished, and Charlotte thought about it for a while, and finally, he gave such an answer.

"Count Anthony?"

"..."

Although Marquis Luna did not answer, her expression that suddenly dimmed was the best proof.

"Marquis Luna, is the count in the story Count Anthony?"

A few seconds of silence.

"Yes."

Marquis Luna bit her lower lip and nodded.

"It is Count Anthony."

"What can I do for you?"

Charlotte blinked.

"Think of a way to make you and Count Anthony's lover finally get married?"

"Viscount Charlotte, can you do this kind of thing?"

The tentative question from Earl Luna, it seems that Charlotte's answer still gave her hope.

"I... I can't guarantee it."

It is a good thing to be able to make a marquis owe himself a favor, but Charlotte still chose to tell the truth.

Because he also knows that no one can be absolutely sure about things like feelings.

You know how many years have passed since Marquis Luna's husband died. If the relationship between Count Anthony and Marquis Luna is still there, and if Count Anthony doesn't mind what happened, there will be no Luna. The Marquis turned to him for help in this situation.

"But if this is your wish, Marquis Luna, I can try my best."

"No, I can actually tell that Count Anthony regards you, Viscount Charlotte, as a friend."

Marquis Luna sighed.

"Count Anthony doesn't have many friends, Count De Vos counts as one, Viscount Charlotte counts as one, and there are no other friends."

"And it's also because you, Viscount Charlotte, are Earl Anthony's friend, so I want to use this meeting to ask you something."

Marquis Luna took a deep breath, her expression was a bit sad.

"Ever loved?"

"I just want to know the real answer to this question."

"Have you never asked a question before?"

"Viscount Charlotte, just treat me as a man who is in love with you."

Marquis Luna said softly.

"And I didn't expect Earl Anthony to send the invitation letter directly to my home for this premiere."

Now Charlotte understands why Marquis Luna appeared in this movie premiere.Hearing the tone of Marquis Luna, she was also surprised that Count Anthony would choose to do this.

A stubborn person like Earl Anthony probably made the decision to invite Marquis Luna because he lost a lot of face.

And Marquis Luna probably wanted to solve this doubt that had been hidden in his heart for many years because of such a sudden incident.

"So that's what happened."

After figuring out the joints, Charlotte nodded.

"Count Luna, I will try my best."

"Well, then please, Viscount Charlotte."

Marquis Luna said gratefully.

"No matter what kind of result you get in the end, I will never forget your favor. If it is useful in the future, just ask me. I am relatively influential in the noble circle. "

"Then thank you Marquis Luna first."

Charlotte stood up straight, and bowed slightly to Marquis Luna's reassurance.

As soon as he entered a wealthy family, it was as deep as the sea, and since then Xiao Lang has been a passerby.

Perhaps in the eyes of Casimir civilians, the life of the noble class is indeed enviable.But while gaining something, one should also expect to lose something someday in the future.

On the one hand, Marquis Luna is of course lucky, because no matter what, she is also one of the most powerful women in Casimir.But from another point of view, Marquis Luna is also unfortunate, because as a woman, she has never been able to have a true love of her own from the beginning to the end.

Charlotte is just an outsider, and he has no way of judging whether power or love is more important to Marquis Luna.But now that she has accepted the other party's entrustment, Charlotte will work hard to do this well.

He couldn't guarantee that he would be able to completely satisfy Marquis Luna, but he could try to untie the decades-old relationship between Count Anthony and her.

……

After the not-so-long meeting, Charlotte walked out of the reception room of the theater, but to his surprise, he could actually see the figure of Count Anthony in the corridor outside the reception room door.

"Viscount Charlotte, do you have time now? I have something I want to talk to you about."

Not long after he met Marquis Luna, Count Anthony immediately appeared in front of his eyes. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem like an accident.

"If you have time, Count Anthony, is there anything important you want to ask me for?"

"Knowingly asking?"

Count Anthony glanced at Charlotte lightly.

"It's unnecessary, we all understand some things. Let's go, let's find a quieter place and have a good chat."

The so-called quiet place was actually Count Anthony's office in the theater.

However, under Charlotte's order, the four girls around him were all guarding the door of the office.A six-star sniper, a five-star sniper, a five-star milk shield, and a four-star special. In the game, such a combination of operators can directly clear some levels that are not too difficult. Just guard a room and not let Of course, there is no problem for outsiders to come in.

"Count Anthony, will you speak first, or should I speak first?"

Charlotte looked at Count Anthony's face.

"Tell me first, tell me what you and Marquis Luna talked about."

Charlotte nodded, and then he recounted the conversation with Marquis Luna to Count Anthony in its entirety.

Earl Anthony did not respond immediately, but Charlotte paid attention to the expression on the other's face.From silence to sadness, and from sadness to bewilderment, Earl Anthony's expression in the end was three points of relief, three points of helplessness, and one point of bewilderment.

There is an extra pie chart in my eyes, and I can see clearly how much each emotion accounts for.

"That's all we talked about?"

Count Anthony whispered with a complex expression.

"Is there nothing else?"

"Nothing."

Charlotte shook her head honestly.

"Marquis Luna just entrusted me to ask you a question, and she wants to get an answer from you."

"Is any answer okay?"

Charlotte didn't answer.

After a long silence, the last thing Charlotte could see was that Count Anthony pulled out an oil painting from the drawer in front of him, and then put the oil painting on the table.

"The moment I sent out the invitation letter, I thought about taking this painting out."

It was a very simple oil painting, it was a young girl with her eyes closed, lying quietly on the bed.

"Viscount Charlotte, can I trouble you to hand over this painting to Marquis Luna?"

"And what is your answer?"

"Love, still love, but not worthy."

Count Anthony went on to explain.

"I am trying to explore the path of art, not only because I like it and am willing to pay for it, but also because I imagine that one day in the future, I will be able to become a woman worthy of her. famous artist."

"It's a pity that after so many decades, I still failed. If it weren't for the appearance of Viscount Charlotte, I might really have nothing."

"understood."

Charlotte picked up the oil painting on the table.

"I will hand over the answer and the oil painting to Marquis Luna, but Count Anthony, can you listen to me one more time?"

Charlotte said one last word before leaving the office.

"Power and money can never reach the peak, but our time is limited, are you sure you really want to exchange limited things for infinite things?"

"The Marquis Luna has been waiting for you for decades, but none of us know whether there will be another few decades."
