Chapter 12: Cynthia 2 (Free)
PS: Because the VIP chapter was unbanned, I have changed this chapter beyond recognition in order not to be banned, considering that the reading experience and the characters to be created will become extremely poor, this chapter is free as an apology.
"Durally's assassins?"
"Yes. Durali's ......"
"Do you think that the chef of Phila Thermos was bribed by the Assassins of Durari?" Cynthia asked again.
"I don't know......," Charlotte shook her head, "maybe, I don't know." β
"Do you think Durali's assassins have infiltrated Fort Savoie?"
Charlotte didn't dare to look at Cynthia's expression all the time, he felt that his brain was a little confused, and subconsciously replied, "...... Probably not. β
"You're lying again, Charlotte. If you don't think so, then why are you so nervous?"
Charlotte was startled again, realizing that his answer had made a logical error, and he panicked and said, "I didn't mean that, I was just worried that they would be bad for you." I told you, I promised Elbert, I will definitely protect you!"
"If you don't think even Fort Savoie is safe, then how are you going to protect me, take me to Icewind Castle?"
"I don't know...... But if necessary, yes! I'll take you to Icewind Castle. β
"You're such a nice guy. Cynthia's voice was strange, sarcastic, as if she was enduring something, and she said in a gentle and sweet voice that she had never said to Charlotte, "Charlotte, why don't you dare look at me? β
(Hundreds of words omitted below).
But before that, Charlotte took two steps back with what little sanity she had.
"What's wrong? Am I not beautiful?" Seeing Charlotte's retreat, Cynthia plucked up her courage instead, she took two steps forward and took Charlotte's right hand with gentle but moist fingers (omit the number of crosses)!?
But just when his reason was about to be burned out by lust, the appearance of a girl flashed in his mind. Her blonde hair is tied into a dignified bun, and her sideburns are playfully hanging down on both sides, although her face is expressionless, her ice blue eyes are full of admiration and thoroughness, her body is slender and graceful, and the blue and white princess dress is simple and not complicated, but it has the most colorful color in the world.
"Sister......" Charlotte squirmed her lips as her hand stopped in front of Cynthia.
Cynthia looked at him suspiciously, Charlotte withdrew her hand, and Cynthia subconsciously hugged her shoulders and saw him unbutton his thickened shirt one by one.
Cynthia closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly. She sensed Charlotte closing in on her, (omitting the crosses again).
But soon, the clothes with the body temperature were draped over her shoulders, and Cynthia turned around in disbelief, tears of fear or sadness or relief in her blue eyes.
ββ¦β¦ Why? Haven't you always liked me?" asked Cynthia, her cherry lips trembling.
"It's shameful, but I loved it. β
"And now, you don't have the slightest interest in me?" Cynthia asked, covering her mouth.
Charlotte didn't want to lie, he told the truth, "...... You are my sister-in-law. β
"It's okay, I volunteered......" Cynthia's eyes twinkled, and crystal tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls.
"Cynthia, you don't need to be afraid. Charlotte put her arms on her shoulders and said, "Look at me, hey, look at me! You don't have to do that, I'll protect you anyway, that's my promise to Elbert." Even if I hadn't made such a commitment, I wouldn't let anyone hurt my loved ones, and you're my loved ones, you know?"
Cynthia looked at Charlotte in disbelief for a moment before she reached out and pushed Charlotte away. She wiped the tears from her cheeks and said with a sad smile, "You know what? Charlotte. Actually, when I was a child, I hated you a lot, you didn't understand the rules, you were arrogant, you did your own thing, and it was completely different from the education and people I was exposed to, I used to think you were a fool. But now, I realize that you are really different, that you are really a charismatic man who can be relied on with all your heart, but alas, I was, even now...... It's not you who likes it. β
Charlotte's face was red at her, and the topless mage shrugged her shoulders, "Then should I be happy or sad?"
Cynthia didn't continue the ambiguous topic, she turned her back to straighten her shirt, "I thank you for respecting me, and thank you for waking me up with your noble deeds, do you see that sandalwood? β
Charlotte wisely didn't ask questions, but listened quietly to Cynthia.
Cynthia had straightened her shirt, she turned around, and (again omitting a dozen words), Charlotte had to look away and turn her attention to the decoration of the room.
At this moment, he suddenly heard Cynthia ask, "I'm sorry, but my maid heard you and Evan arguing as she passed through the corridor. I suppose you're arguing over Elbert's thing, right?"
Charlotte was startled, he turned his head, and just as he was about to deny it, he saw Cynthia slowly shaking her head at him.
"Don't lie, Charlotte. Actually, I all know that it was your brother and my fiancΓ© who killed my brother, Aven, right?"
Charlotte took two steps back. At this time, all the lust was extinguished by an extremely cold fear, and even in the warm room, Charlotte felt cold. He covered his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
"I don't know...... I do not know. Charlotte subconsciously avoided the question, but he suddenly thought of something, raised his head, and looked at Cynthia in disbelief, "That'sβthen you just ...... Do you want to get revenge on Clayderman? Do you want me to turn Evan and I against each other?
Cynthia was silent for a few seconds, then asked in despair, "If I said yes, would you kill me?"
"No, why do you think that?!I said, you are also my relative, I will protect you!" Charlotte realized that Cynthia had reached a dead end, he took two steps forward and held Cynthia's shoulders, as if vows, as if to comfort her, and comfort himself, "Everything is still inconclusive, even if the truth is really so cruel, but I think Evan was also deceived by someone, that was not his intention." He's kind, he's gentle, he's a good guy for his family, he's good for others! Trust me! I'm going to take care of it, I'm going to get everything back on track, okay?"
Cynthia finally couldn't hold back the fear and despair in her heart, she cried out loud like a child, she buried herself in Charlotte's shoulder, crying heartbreakingly, "I believe in you! I believe in you! Charlotte, I'm so scared! I feel like I'm unaccompanied, I'm surrounded by enemies! I'm sorry! I'm so scared!"
"Hey, don't be afraid, you still have relatives, Lawrence, Rebecca, me, Vivien Leigh...... We are all your relatives, and next, I will also bring your husband Evan back completely, don't be afraid, you are not alone!"
"Thank you, thank you, I'm sorry!
"Relatives never need to say sorry to each other, but you have to promise me not to do stupid things again, okay?"
"Uh-huh! Thank you, brother!" Cynthia hugged Charlotte's shoulders and cried like a child who had found shelter.
At this time, the voice of a maid suddenly came from outside the door.
"Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, Princess Fervien Leigh, you can't ......"
"But I heard Sister Cynthia crying, and I was worried that something would happen to her!"
Before Charlotte and Cynthia could react, the door slammed open, and Vivien Leigh grabbed the hilt of her sword in her right hand and rushed across the screen.
"Sister Cynthia, you didn't ......"
She looked at Cynthia, who was only wearing a male shirt, buried her head in the shoulders of Charlotte, who was on her upper body, and froze in place.
