Chapter 51

As mentioned earlier, Ariel became disgusted with Charlotte because of Anne's comparison, and Ariel got up and left in a hurry that day, and after returning to Ariel Castle, she ordered someone to prepare a vat of milk to nourish her skin, but the years were unforgiving, and no matter how much she maintained, she could not return to her youth. Mori breathed a sigh of relief after Ariel's departure, at least he was satisfied that his identity was not revealed. As soon as the noble lady with a strong aura left, the few people left behind were more comfortable, and Lydia knocked on the side to learn about the noble lady's information, but Sen used various methods to escape, she had to bury this question in her heart, tasted the apple pie brought by Lydia, and several people chatted until the night before leaving.

Ariel looked at the skin with little effect and was very annoyed, for several days without thinking about tea and not wanting to lose a few pounds, Windsor learned of her mother's condition and quickly asked the reason, but how could she be embarrassed to tell her son about this kind of thing, Ariel didn't say anything Windsor, seeing Anne on the side and stopped, he knew that Anne was probably the person who knew her mother best, and asked her that there should be an answer. Windsor gave Anne a look when she came out, she silently followed Windsor, listened to Anne's explanation Windsor was a little unconvinced, Charlotte was not a rude person who couldn't say that, Windsor looked meaningfully at Anne who lowered her eyebrows and pretended to be a lady,

"You're saying that because Charlotte asked her about her age, her mother was angry?"

"She may not have a heart, and Madame looks too young to be misunderstood."

"Looks young and only [a] [book] [read. The novel ybdu was asked about age, so shouldn't he be happy? ”

"Maybe Madame thinks that she is no longer young because of her age."

Windsor interrupted Anne's stumbling reply,

"The next time there is such a thing, you will compare yourself with your mother, so that she will be happy, don't forget to go back and let your mother see you more!"

Windsor smiled jokingly and turned her head and walked away, Anne stood stiffly in place as if struck by lightning, the Duke meant that he was too ugly, so it was better to talk to Madame more to make Madame happy?! Now the end of autumn is about to enter winter, the morning is very cold, Anne came out wearing a very thick cotton jacket, I thought it would not be very cold, but now I can't help but swing, where they are standing is facing a row of trees, under the bare trees a thick layer of yellow leaves that are about to rot, Anne feels like those rotten leaves, humble and dirty, destined to melt into the mud, this gorgeous robe makes her very uncomfortable, her face is slightly red, the servants who pass by are very surprised to see Anne standing here in a daze, Anne is usually sensitive and rational and never loses her posture in front of people, Although the servants were jealous of her favor by Madame, and secretly gossiped about her, but no one ever questioned her ability, because she was always able to take good care of Madame, and this was recognized by the whole of Ariel Castle, and Madame could not do without Anne.

Anne no longer continued to stare at the leaves, the surprised eyes of the servants into the eyes Anne quickly put on a faint smile, Anne changed her face too fast, so fast that the servants thought they were dazzled, since they met or said hello not to offend the red people around the lady, the servants greeted Anne one after another, Anne smiled and nodded in response to them, but she fantasized that one day these people would be able to kneel and salute herself, just fantasizing about Windsor's ridicule just now as if ruthlessly piercing her sweet dreams in her ears, Anne's face was instantly comparable to a pot helmet, and the servants saw that she was still beautiful just now, and in an instant, dark clouds shrouded her, and they were afraid of implicating themselves, so they hurriedly slipped away with oil on the soles of their feet.

Putting aside these trivial things in life, the atmosphere of the kingdom is becoming more and more solemn, and the five territories led by the Southland have openly stood on the opposite side of the royal family, and this winter will be an unparalleled winter. The safest place in the upcoming war is the southern land and the royal capital, in the early days, people who smelled the smell of gunpowder have rushed to the southern land or the royal capital for refuge, the streets of the southern land have increased suddenly, many of them are infected with evil diseases, out of humanitarian concern The original southern nobles also gave homeless shelter and food and clothing, but they couldn't stand more and more people, and gradually there were homeless people making trouble on the streets, burglary, blocking the road and robbing one after another, it was the preparation for the big war Windsor could not take care of these affairs at all, He walked around the streets and saw filthy wanderers running around the streets, and there were fewer pedestrians on the road, and even people avoided them.

The wanderers on the street saw Windsor's luxurious carriages rushing forward to block Windsor's way, Windsor lowered the curtain and told the coachman to speed up and rush out, these homeless people are the most vicious examples, Windsor has no time or extra sympathy to give to these people.

Seeing that Windsor was leaving, more than a dozen sloppy hemp poles stopped doing it, and stepped forward to surround the Windsor carriage, and some people even clamored to rob his carriage, Windsor was unmoved and told the coachman to ignore these madmen and drive away directly. Seeing Windsor's tough attitude, the homeless people were also aroused, and they insisted on entangling the carriage, and several people also used their hands and feet to get into the carriage. Windsor, who did not expect such a serious situation, only brought the coachman with him, and could not count on the coachman to relieve the siege, so Windsor had to get out of the carriage and do it herself.

After cutting off the arms of several wanderers, no one dared to pull Windsor's carriage anymore, their frightened eyes made Windsor very uncomfortable, he has always been admired, even if he is afraid of himself, he is in awe, and he has never had such a naked and terrifying look. Having solved these troubles, Windsor turned around and wanted to get back into the carriage, but when he turned around, he saw the same frightened eyes, the owner of the eyes was walking towards him, Windsor knew that he couldn't hide from her, but he didn't want these homeless people to get close to Charlotte, so he quickly got out of the car and led Charlotte into the only small shop on the side of the road that was open.

Charlotte, who thought Windsor was good a few days ago because of her mother's words, now feels stupid, how can a man who slashes and slashes without blinking his eyes and wielding a long sword be a good match for her!? Moreover, this cold-blooded man is about to start a big war, and countless people will die because of him, and the thought of such a man covered in blood debts will lie on his pillow in the future Charlotte can no longer be calm. She wanted to give him back the ring and tell Windsor that she couldn't marry him, but would her such a blunt refusal annoy the man, and wouldn't the wealth hidden in Ariel Castle not come back? That's not going to work! She couldn't say, at least she couldn't kick him until the gold was in her hands.

Windsor didn't know how to kick him away after running into the small shop in such a short few steps, but when she saw Charlotte's face changing and colorful, she thought she was frightened by what she had just looked, and held Charlotte's hand tightly, Windsor regretted it countless times in her heart, knowing that Charlotte should have thrown some gold coins in the back and ran away, hoping that Charlotte would not have nightmares at night.

The small shop space is small, even during the day is not bright, as soon as they entered the door, someone heard the voice and came out to receive them, a woman came out of the blur, twisting her waist and swinging her hips very sexy, the woman saw Windsor's eyes lit up, and her unhurried steps were changed to trotting, her sexy and plump body was squeezed into the middle of the two, fortunately Windsor's hand was tight, otherwise Charlotte would definitely be squeezed to the ground, Charlotte stumbled and finally found the jade hand held tightly with Windsor, a little struggle, Caught tighter than expected, Windsor easily let go of her hand, and a hint of loss crossed Charlotte's face. The woman who almost squeezed Charlotte was pushed three steps away by Windsor with her elbow, and she wanted to pounce but was dodged by Windsor backwards, the woman's expression was a little dissatisfied, she glared at Charlotte with slanted eyes, and her sultry red lips opened lightly,

"The Duke's taste is still the same! Tsk, this little new love is so tender, the duke is very cool to play. ”

Shocked by the woman's faceless words, Charlotte's face turned red all of a sudden, although she felt embarrassed, Charlotte didn't turn her head away, and she didn't really be 'played' by Windsor, so she didn't rush to admit it.

Windsor didn't expect to bring Charlotte here in a fit of nervousness, a place he couldn't remember for so long.

"Duke, although the girl is delicate, the mature woman has a different wonderful style~"

The woman couldn't help but take a step closer to Windsor, trying to shake her plump breasts, and by the way, she threw him a wink, but unfortunately Windsor still stood coldly and didn't mean to be tempted at all, the woman tried so hard but failed to arouse the slightest interest of the old man, she blinked her eyes and wanted to see a little bit of the past from Windsor's eyes,

"You're not going to remember me, are you?!"

The woman has been on the scene for so long, Windsor's eyes are still full of strangeness, it seems that he has indeed forgotten the things here, it is better to forget, those disgraceful past, which man will want to remember forever, he is afraid that he came here not to revisit the old place but to stumble in by mistake.

Charlotte has been acting as a human flesh background for so long, and finally understands what kind of place this is and what the relationship between the woman with heavy makeup in front of her and Windsor is, after thinking about it, Charlotte's dislike of Windsor can't be more, if it weren't for the fear that he would turn his face and want to throw the ring in his face on the spot, Charlotte always felt that she had ignored something, why would she worry about him turning his face if she refused him? Maybe people don't take ring engagement seriously at all!? …… Do you subconsciously think that Windsor likes you? Phew, Te narcissist!

Windsor's gaze traced a corner of the shop, after his father's death, his mother was under house arrest, and his grandfather fought hard to bring himself to the Southlands, how to describe those days, gray, depraved, addicted, and when he opened his eyes, he was wine and beauty. Maybe that kind of life is a paradise for some people, but for himself, who has just lost his father and fallen from the position of prince, the wine is magma, and the beauty is Shura.

"Hey!"

Charlotte's coquettish rebuke pulled Windsor out of her memory, and she had already walked out of the shop as if she was hesitant to call him. shouted Charlotte regretted it again, how embarrassing it would be if she was rejected, and without waiting for Windsor's response, Charlotte turned around and left as if it wasn't her who shouted just now.

Charlotte walked fast, there was a rush of footsteps behind her, Windsor caught up with Charlotte, saw someone following Charlotte and stopped suddenly, inertia caused Windsor to run out a few steps and then turned back to look at Charlotte, Charlotte thought he would explain, such as why he cut people, what happened to the prostitute just now, who knew that people didn't mean to explain at all, Charlotte was ashamed of narcissism again, she didn't care that this was outside, anyway, there were few passers-by, turned over her coat and found the bone ring tied around her waist with lace,

"Here you go, I didn't have a chance to see you before, but this time it's just the right thing to return to its original owner."

Windsor looked at the quaint ring lying in Charlotte's fair-skinned little hand, and silently felt how it looked so good. Taking the ring, Windsor did not take it back, but took advantage of the situation to take Charlotte's little hand, Charlotte struggled, and this time did not break away.

"It looks good on your hand."

Windsor held a bone ring in one hand and Charlotte's small hand in the other, and put the ring on her with focused and serious eyes. Charlotte was a little dazed, but this ring was really beautiful to wear, and Charlotte was a little reluctant to take it off. It's just that the words still have to be clear, don't let Windsor misunderstand yourself,

"I'll wear it for the time being, and I'll give it back to you when you get married."

Charlotte obviously likes it very much, but the awkward appearance is too cute, Windsor almost laughs out loud, but she is afraid of angering Charlotte and tries to tense,

"Let's go, I'll take you home."
