Chapter Eighty-Eight: Father and Son Heart-to-Heart
To Charlotte's relief, Lawrence did not mention Charlotte's performance in the drawing room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 He never mentioned Vivien Leigh's marriage, but instead asked her about the details of the afternoon gladiatorial match.
Fei Wenli also patted her chest to ensure that she would win, and it seemed that the silver dragon princess was full of confidence in the preliminary round.
While Vivien Leigh was preparing for the gladiatorial match in the afternoon, Lawrence called out to Charlotte and motioned for the father and son to go to the garden together.
It was a completely novel experience for Charlotte, and even after twelve years of carefree life in Fort Savoie, Lawrence had only walked alone with herself.
Although he can be regarded as an enlightened father, he is also the lord of a country after all, not to mention that in the early days of Lawrence's reign, Erosa was once at a disadvantage in the northern battlefield, and the most severe battle even killed Charlotte's grandfather.
Father and son walk side by side in the garden, and the flower beds in the State Guesthouse are equipped with a constant temperature facility, which allows the flowers of all seasons to bloom in the cold winter. Only the lakeside area has been left untouched, with snow from pine trees and the occasional adorable squirrel adding a touch of tint to the floral garden area.
Lawrence stopped in front of a golden tulip, and he lowered his head to sniff the fragrance of the flower tenderly, which made the lion-like man a little more gentle.
"Your mother loves flowers like this the most. "I remember the day I married her, and the golden tulips ran down the black staircase from the gate of Fort Savoie to the gate of the house." It's early spring, the birds are chirping, the air is fragrant, and your mother looks as charming as a fairy in the lake in her white wedding dress!"
"I was not yet 16 years old and had just stabilized the situation in the country. I had the lake of no regrets on my waist, and the holy sword was still dim at that time. But your mother told me that I was handsome and powerful at that time, and I looked as heroic as the legendary god of war. ”
Charlotte sneered, he looked at Lawrence, who was full of beard and national characters, and couldn't figure out how the word handsome could be associated with him.
"Don't laugh!" Lawrence grumbled dissatisfiedly, "Trust me, I was more handsome than you back then......!"
He reached out and smoothed the unyielding hairs on Charlotte's head, but quickly gave up on the futile gesture, "I'm much more personal than you are. ”
"Do you want to say you were a heartthrob back then?"
"It's not that I'm trying to say, but it's the truth!" Lawrence looked a little smug, "and when I conquer the North, those alien girls will even throw their arms on me!"
Charlotte squinted, pouted and whistled.
But I rightly rejected them. Lawrence quickly realized that he was suspected of committing death, and he solemnly said, "As you can see, I am a man who puts his family above everything!"
"You should have said that to my mother. Charlotte pouted and smiled, "It's useless to tell me!"
"Your mother asked me to talk to you. Lawrence said, "You're pretending to be this morning, aren't you?"
Charlotte whistled at the flowers in the garden.
"You don't agree with Vivien Leigh marrying Elbert?" Lawrence continued.
Charlotte reached for a mimosa, and the moment it touched, the mimosa curled up in a ball of leaves. It seemed to amuse him, and he kept probing the poor blades of grass, causing them to curl up on their leaves.
"Father, look at these cute mimosa, when it rejects me, it doesn't yell at me or hurt me, but just curls up passively on its leaves. I think it's because they have good intentions in their hearts, don't you think?"
"Like you do?"
"No!" Charlotte said earnestly, looking up, "just like Vivien Leigh did." It doesn't matter if I agree or not, what matters is what Vivien Leigh wants to do. To tell you the truth, even if my sister falls in love with a good-for-nothing beggar, as long as she is sincere, I will support her wholeheartedly!"
"Are you kidding?"
"Well, I'll admit I'll find a way to kill that beggar. Charlotte shrugged, "But that's what I mean." And as a former member of this family, I also hope to make this family a little more warm and less cold political transactions. ”
"And to be honest, I think Vivien Leigh is much more important than that land. Whether it's from family affection or politics. You must know that the Holy Sword and Fei Wen Li are two inseparable wholes, and without Fei Wen Li, the Holy Sword is just a solid scrap of copper and rotten iron. ”
"Of course I understand!" Lawrence growled with some irritation, but soon he waved his hand to signal that he was not in the right mood, "I'm a little out of shape. But Charlotte, you've been in Icewind Castle all these years, and you don't even know what's going on in your family. It's just hard to talk about, even more terrible than your crazy gibberish about falling in love with Her Highness Sylvia!"
After he finished speaking, he asked with some concern, "By the way, of course your crazy remarks in the parlor are just nonsense, right?"
Charlotte nodded, "Of course!"
However, as soon as he spoke, he couldn't help but think of all kinds of things about Sylvia in his mind.
When I first met, the girl who was lonely like a doll in Fort Savoie 3,000 years ago and looked out the window at night, the icy blue eyes that said 'Don't worry me' to Charlotte in Icewind Castle, and finally the perfect carcass that had just come out of the bath last night and was hazy and seductive.
He shook his head, thinking that he had gone crazy to recall the fragments at this point. He said to himself that of course he loved Sylvia, but that love was pure, the love that the brother admired the sister. It has nothing to do with the lust between a man and a woman.
He thought of Cynthia's noble and elegant appearance, and when he found that his heart was speeding up, he breathed a sigh of relief, and even the guilt he felt when he thought of Cynthia was now gone.
"That's good!" Lawrence finally breathed a sigh of relief, "You know, I've always suspected that Her Highness Sylvia might be the illegitimate daughter of the ancestor of Rusen, which means that she is the ancestor of our Clayderman family. ”
"As for the reason why I'm in a hurry to get Vivien Leigh married!hey!" he waved his hand, looking like he had a splitting headache, "Don't say it!"
"If you don't say it, I know, is it my stupid brother who made you fuck up?"
Lawrence opened his mouth in surprise, "You already know?!"
"Unfortunately, I already know. Charlotte spread her hands, "Still, I hold my opinion, and that can't be the reason for Fivien Leigh to marry someone she doesn't like." ”
Lawrence didn't answer, and walked along the garden path towards the lake.
The father and son did not continue to talk one after the other. It wasn't until he reached the icy lake that Lawrence said softly, "You're right. Rebecca and I didn't think much about it. I promise you that I will pay attention to Vivien Leigh's thoughts in the future, and you will have to keep an eye on the young man for me. ”
"No problem, what do you think of Claire?" Charlotte nodded happily.
"If only he could come back alive from the Far North before Vivien Leigh got married. Lawrence asked earnestly, "What do you think of my plan to send Vivien Leigh to live in Icewind Castle for a while after returning to the North this time?"
"I'm personally welcome!"
For Charlotte, it was a desperate task. This means that all of his promises to Fivien Leigh are about to be fulfilled!
But it's clear that neither the sluggish Charlotte nor the focused Lawrence realize that the Clayderman family's problems aren't just with Aven.
