The veil of night is draped in the endless sky, and the land reflected by the stars is boundless and vast.

The night breeze blew slowly, with the slight coolness of the night dew, the sound of the horse's hooves was staggered, and nearly a hundred horsemen were clustered next to the three golden-white carriages, and every knight on the horse was not tired from the late night, the horse's hooves vigorously stepped on the dew on the blades of grass, and the horses were heroic and vigorous, as if walking on the hunting ground of the nobles.

Next to the carriage emblazoned with the coat of arms of the royal lion, Ludwig untied the reins and rode in small steps, his horse closer to the carriage in the middle, less than a foot away, and beyond was the protective circle of the royal guards.

His dew-stained sideburns were scattered on a broad and full forehead, his blue eyes were deep, and his resolute face rarely smiled, and he didn't know what he was thinking, his thin angular lips were slightly hooked, softening the hard curve of the side face, but still carrying a kind of melancholy that lingered and made the women scream.

Princess Victoria gently lifted the corner of the curtain with a folding fan, and gazed fascinated at the soft smile with a deep loneliness, as if she guessed why Ludwig was smiling, but the pride of being a princess did not allow her to think deeply.

"Is this your new man? The vision is good, although the status is a little lower, but it is not a problem for me. ”

Prince Charles leaned over and glanced at the gap in the car window, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "But are you sure his heart is in you?" ”

Princess Victoria quickly lowered the curtain, the small folding fan was retracted, her light blue eyes showed displeasure, and she raised her slender chin slightly, this action made her look a little habitually arrogant:

"We've only known each other for a few days, and I don't deny that I have ambitions for him, but it's my business, and my father promised me that he wouldn't interfere in my marriage again."

"Of course, what Father means is what we mean. The current situation is not so urgent that even your second marriage needs to be used for trading, and I hope that you can be happy, but isn't it too fast to think about marriage after only a few days of acquaintance? ”

Victoria's first failed marriage made the entire first family feel sorry for her, but the stupid guy returned to the arms of death after less than six years of marriage, and if it was the price of five or six years of marriage in exchange for the freedom of marriage in the future, Charles felt that the price was still worth it.

It is undeniable that Charles does have some thoughts about Victoria's second marriage, but not enough to force his sister to sacrifice for it.

Victoria's former lovers were quite numerous. It was only in recent days that it was said that she had broken off relations with her former lovers, which made him a little surprised by the new man who appeared next to his sister and sent someone to investigate. It was learned that this Ludwig was not only a member of the honorees, but also had such rumors with the Lady of the Purple Rose.

The male domain instinct made Charles a little dislike Ludwig, and he was even more unhappy to see such a man cling to Victoria and take advantage. There's only one Victoria, but there's a lot of options for Victoria.

"We're still far from that kind of Cheng dù! But I watched for a few days, and he was indeed a suitable husband, and his future status was not a problem for us, and most importantly—"

Princess Victoria smiled with a folding fan on her delicate chin. The smile softened her haughty lines, "Charles, do you believe in love at first sight?" ”

Without waiting for Charles to answer. She continued: "I didn't believe it, but since I first saw him, a voice in my heart has told me that it's him!" She lowered her voice, her light blue eyes revealing seriousness, "I think." It's a fateful choice! ”

"No wonder you and Zev have both cut off contact,"

Charles smiled. The body that was originally lazily leaning on the backrest also straightened, and the upper body leaned forward slightly, naturally revealing a gesture of concern, "But I heard that he and the Purple Rose Lady among the honorees had a past. ”

The Lady of the Purple Rose could be said to be the muse of any man, and even a man like Charles who read through the flowers couldn't help but be attracted to her.

In the past few days, Charles and Heidi have seen each other twice as often as before, but even so, the thought of the black hair buried between his legs makes Charles's lower belly still irrepressibly hot.

If Ludwig's past with the Lady of the Purple Rose is true, then Victoria will have a hard time winning his heart.

Judging from their relationship just now, this Viscount Ludwig only adheres to the gentlemanly demeanor of a male companion, but he never crosses the line, and his eyes do not have the fiery and possessive desires of Victoria's lovers in the past.

As a man, Charles knew too well the attitudes and reactions of men when they pursued women, and he did not see any similar clues in the Viscount Ludwig.

"I think that rumor is mostly false, I met the Lady of the Purple Rose on the way to the opera house with Ludwig yesterday, and Ludwig's reaction at that time did not look like he had a relationship with the famous lady."

"In front of you, of course, he won't react interestingly to the Baroness,"

Charles laughed, "What's more, with his identity, the possibility between them is indeed very small, but do you think that those men who have had an affair with the Purple Rose Lady must have had some kind of affair with her?" Sometimes the more you can't get it, the more the man will miss it. ”

Is it true that Lady Rose has become a loyal fan of the Lady of the Honoured Ranks, and that is only because of her exploits and prestige?

The peerless appearance of the Purple Rose Lady, as long as the man he has seen it, can not avoid being attracted, Charles does not think Ludwig will be an exception, and the rumors of him and the Purple Rose Lady are the most obvious proof.

Princess Victoria froze for a moment, as a woman, how could she not feel Lin An's threat to the same sex, last time she just glanced vaguely through the car curtain, and a deep fear rose in her heart, but fortunately, Ludwig's reaction was not special, so she pressed the uneasiness in her heart.

But even though her brother said that she was thoughtful, Victoria still couldn't let go of her arrogance, admitting that she was not as good as another woman, and just unfolded the folding fan that shook lightly twice, and before receiving the subconsciously erect waist and abdomen, she raised her delicate chin, and said word by word with her rosy red lips:

"It doesn't matter whose skirt he used to bow down to. From now on, he can only have me in his eyes! ”

Charles nodded slightly.

Since it is rare for Victoria to recognize, of course he, as an elder brother, will also help her, as a member of the noblest first family, since the landing, a qiē to ordinary people can not reach the things are ordinary to them, except for a few things in this world, there is nothing they want but can't get.

After Princess Victoria finished speaking, she also seemed to remember something. The small sandalwood fan spreads out, covering the coquettish smile on the lips, and the bright eyes like cosmos are rippling:

"Charles, you care so much about Luther. It's not just for me, I've heard that your Autumn Ball is especially for the Lady of the Purple Rose! ”

Prince Charles leaned lazily, his body swaying slightly with the carriage, and the smooth lines of his white and gold casual clothes outlined his slender body in straight lines. Even though the relaxed posture has already shown the twelve points of noble elegance of the royal family, at this time, when he heard the words, he smiled, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned his eyes to look at Princess Victoria, with an unknown smile on the corner of his mouth:

"Where did you get this news from?"

Princess Victoria was noncommittal when she saw this. I already had a little understanding in my heart, and I suddenly became sour, and raised my arrogant and slender eyebrows:

"The Emperor has given the matter of the recipients to Byron and Yorkiadan. Byron organizes a safari, and you hold a ball, and I can't think of anyone other than the Purple Rose Lady who has such a great charm that would make you go against Byron against your father's will. ”

Her brother is the most tactful. Normally, he would not do this kind of open confrontation between brothers. Especially if the father already has an order.

Charles spread his hands in a dashing manner, "The Autumn Festival ball, which was held by me as usual in the past few years, can't Byron be ordered by his father, and my ball will be stopped!" ”

A ball like this, under his painstaking management, has already had a good reputation in the imperial capital, and Byron is quite sober and knows how to promote his strengths and avoid weaknesses, otherwise he may become a joke in the entire imperial capital.

And he also wants his father to take a look, even if he belongs to Byron this time, but the second brother who has been transparent for so many years, even with the support of Yokjartan, it is difficult for him to operate for many years - not disobeying his father does not mean that he cannot show his ability, Charles knows that as long as he does not openly sabotage Byron's mission, his father is happy to see the prince's talent and ability.

Victoria doesn't think that much.

There have been empresses in the other two countries in history, among which the Holy Empire has the most, even three, but the Merlin royal family has never had one.

Therefore, even if they have the right of inheritance in name, the princesses of the Merlin royal family, in addition to the responsibility of marriage, have always been free from the government, and are only responsible for enjoying their status and rights, and the competition for the throne has nothing to do with them.

"Charles, you really didn't think about that lady, so why did you come out in a hurry tonight?"

Victoria's intelligence network was not spread so quickly, and he didn't know about the death of little Beelzebub, but when he left Crescent Continent before, Charlister intended to wait on the wooden stack for a while, and it seemed that he had met Viscount Yort and others, but Victoria certainly knew that it was not a coincidence.

You must know that when Charles and Viscount Yort and others met on the island, it was already late at twelve o'clock in the night.

This may not be a time of rest for many nobles, but it is by no means a normal time to visit the archmage.

Charles's inquiry to Master Van Gogh was the result of asking Master Robinho to retrace the death of Little Beelzebub, and Master Van Gogh mentioned that Viscount Yort and others were at the station, and Victoria was listening, and it was known why Charles came to the secret law headquarters late at night.

Beelzebub. On the day of Yort's death, it was reported to the Emperor, who was the one the Emperor sent to pay attention to the matter.

Charles seems to have come to inquire about official business, but there is no need to come overnight for this kind of official business, Master Van Gogh probably guessed the intention of Prince Charles, and knew that the matter of Viscount Yort and others coming to the residence probably could not be hidden, but he didn't want Prince Charles to know about the token and Master Kodiak's nonsense in this matter, and publicizing it would make the entire secret group lose face, so he dragged Prince Charles back, and of course the master himself was also contained.

Later, Charles and Victoria met with Viscount Yort and others and received their gratitude.

As for Charles's side.

Originally, he only learned about the movements of Viscount Yort and others from the eyeliner report of his subordinates, and that James had visited the Count's Court of the Purple Rose before leaving the city. In fact, I had already vaguely guessed the connection between Lady Purple Rose and this matter, otherwise she would not have come in a hurry.

And Viscount Yort and others also guessed that Prince Charles came to them at night, thinking that he intended to help, so although he couldn't explain the inside story in detail, he also had to thank him, because Prince Charles's care and help were favors, not to mention that his arrival did do them a great favor inadvertently and restrained Master Van Gogh.

Prince Charles didn't know why Viscount Yort was grateful, but he would find out the inside story eventually. But there was no doubt that Rodier had missed a few words, and Charles learned that the Lady of the Purple Rose was also on the Crescent Continent, and that it seemed to be involved in the whole thing.

Charles was in no hurry to get intelligence. He had already pieced together some of the facts from the reactions of Viscount Yort and others, as well as the route and final destination of James and others when they left the city, just waiting for the verification of the information on the back.

I came in the middle of the night tonight, but I didn't see Lin An. He was a little disappointed.

It's just that the deep desire for the Purple Rose Lady is so strong that Charles himself can't even imagine it, Heidi has been complaining about her illness since the day before yesterday, and has been confined by him in a secret residence closer to the mansion and no longer sees outsiders, like a canary - this is not only to facilitate him to vent his desires at any time, but also to prevent her from leaking this matter. Because judging by what Heidi asked about Master Lynn, she might have noticed.

Of course, Heidi probably doesn't have time to think about it right now. This is also related to the fact that he has had too much demand in the past two days, and Heidi has almost no strength to get up.

Victoria's tentative speculation, Charles is not difficult to deal with, and said with a smile:

"The beauty of the Purple Rose Lady, few men can refuse. Isn't Baron Fritz the best proof of that! ”

As long as no one knows his deep desires in private, being attracted to that lady is completely in line with the reaction of a normal man. He didn't need to hide it.

Princess Victoria's heart was even more sour.

Charles is the one who has the best relationship with her among the five brothers, and because of this intimacy, she can also talk about her love for Ludwig at first sight in front of Charles, but I heard that Charles was also attracted to the Purple Rose Lady who was jealous of all women, and even admitted it verbally to her face, and became a little jealous, and sneered:

"So what do you think happened to Baron Franz? If I were Lady Tiffany, I'm afraid I would rather die with her by now - what a once-in-a-millennium stunning beauty, such a woman, even if she could really be compared to Princess Sfintini, would be a goblin who bewitched men and brought disaster to the country and the people! ”

"Shut up! Victoria! ”

Charles lowered his voice and reprimanded angrily, seeing Princess Victoria's aggrieved and angry expression after being startled, he regretted it a little, and remedied:

"She is a goblin who brings disaster to the country and the people, so won't we become a royal family that destroys the country and destroys the people? Victoria, the royal education you received since you were a child requires you to be an elegant and dignified princess who can represent the royal family, don't let jealousy and feelings dominate your reason! ”

Now is the time when the situation in the ice field is stalemate and the situation on the mainland is about to break out, the imperial capital seems to be calm but there is an undercurrent turbulent, if Victoria's words are spread, even the most favored daughter of her father will be severely reprimanded by her father.

Fortunately, there were not many people they brought out of the city tonight, and their brothers and sisters were accustomed to talking in private, and they changed the maids and attendants they usually served to another car, and there was no one else in the carriage except their brother and sister, otherwise it was difficult to guarantee that this matter would not reach the ears of their father.

The "moles" under his father are too elusive, and even Charles is quite jealous, and many things have to be done in person unless they are very trusted henchmen, and they dare not hand them over to his subordinates casually.

Victoria also regretted it a little after she didn't choose to speak, Charles's reprimand made her a little unhappy, but the later words were also for her sake, even if she was displeased, she still stood up with a fan, lifted her skirt and bowed her knees slightly to apologize, and then sat down again.

But after all, she was a little unwilling in her heart, bit her rose-colored lip, angrily knocked Charles's arm with a fan, and hummed unrelentingly:

"Hmph, after all, you're for that Purple Rose Lady that no one can refuse!"

Charles's blue eyes flashed slightly, revealing a clear and handsome smile, "No matter how beautiful a woman is, she is just a plaything in the bed, how can she compare with us!" ”

He flipped his hand and followed Princess Victoria's movements. Pulled her into his arms, and let Princess Victoria, who had been sitting on the opposite seat, pounce on his lap.

"Ahh

Princess Victoria exclaimed in a low voice, raised her head again, her breathing was a little rapid, and her cosmos-colored eyes met Charles's blue and charming eyes, and the atmosphere suddenly changed, and even Charles's eyes deepened.

At this time, Ludwig outside the car seemed to hear a noise and knocked on the window, "Two highnesses? ”

His voice was like a basin of cold water poured over the heads of Victoria and Charles. Victoria was even more distracted, startled, and immediately pulled her hand to her feet. But she forgot about the long skirt under her feet, and the hasty movement made her upper body lean back!

Fortunately, Charles pulled her back with a quick pull, and at the same time responded to the outside: "It's okay! ”

The sound of horses' hooves outside the window was a little away, but the two siblings in the carriage were short of breath. They looked at each other.

Charles let go of the arm around Victoria, and his voice became hoarse, "Be careful, Via, they're all so big, and they're as reckless as they were when they were kids—oh! ”

But it was Princess Victoria's leg when she got up. Through the long skirt, he inadvertently rubbed against the area between his legs, and recently, his desire was particularly easy to provoke.

Victoria froze. The crimson spread on his face, and even the plump snow white on his chest was dyed a faint pink.

She froze stiffly, standing awkwardly between Ranster's legs, not noticing that the height of her chest was facing Ranster's face, and the temptation she faced made Ranster's already stirring desire even stronger.

"I'm sorry. Lancet ...... I-"

She was only halfway through her sentence when she suddenly felt her right hand being pulled down. The folding fan in her hand was tossed aside, and then she was shackled and continued to stretch down until she grasped a hot and erect hard object, and the hand held her back and forth, and the rough breath spewed on her sensitive chest, giving her goosebumps.

“…… Don't do this, Lancet—I, we......"

Princess Victoria only felt that her feet were so weak that she could not stand, she muttered low and indistinctly, but she was incoherent at all, and the right hand that was grabbed only struggled slightly, and was clenched again, but the friction increased, and the man seemed to be more excited in this environment, and the movement was rapid and could not be refused.

Princess Victoria didn't know how it had ended, and when she was finally able to sit back in her seat, Ranster was wiping her hands with a silk handkerchief, then his lower body, and finally calmly folding the silk and putting it back in her pocket.

There was a faint musky smell in the carriage, but there was no trace of anything else.

Princess Victoria watched Ranster's actions in a daze, and when those blue eyes looked at her, she felt her mouth and tongue dry, and subconsciously licked her lips, her rose-like red lips stained with a layer of watery luster.

Ranster seemed to think this was some kind of hint and chuckled, his voice low and confusing, "Sorry, I forgot you haven't gotten the ......"

He pulled Victoria into his arms with one hand, and without waiting for Victoria to react, the other hand reached into her waist and lightly unbuttoned her skirt.

"No, Lancet! Luther ...... "Victoria remembered Ludwig's voice just now, and subconsciously pressed Leinster's hand, and her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

It was just an invitation to turn down, Lenster chuckled heavily, his blue eyes staring at her, full of deep desire—

"It's okay, you forgot about us, Victoria...... It's more exciting, don't you want to try it...... Just keep your voice quiet......"

His hand struck down to the skirt.

Victoria gave up struggling.

She closed her eyes, supported her upper body with trembling hands, and bit her beautiful lips tightly, as if the man in front of her before the age of eighteen led her to taste the pleasure of lust for the first time.

This kind of thing is not uncommon among royalty and aristocrats.

The man only taught her to taste the sweetness of lust, and in the end they did not break through the last line of defense, and this secret relationship also came to an abrupt end after her marriage, and they regained their brother-sister relationship.

Until this time......

……

Outside the carriage, the royal guards were oblivious to the situation in the carriage, and Ludwig trotted with the reins of his horse, his ears moving slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a cold smile.

The horses' hooves trampled coldly across the meadow, and the night dew on the grass stems scattered like broken crystals.

(To be continued)
