In keeping with the agreement, Charles went to the Italian Theater. Skirting the corridors on either side, he walked up the stairs to the second floor, where he found a small box on the right.

He knocked lightly on the door three times.

The door soon opened.

"It's finally here, but I've been waiting for a long time."

Charlotte looked at Charles with a smile.

"I guess I'm still on time." Charles replied calmly.

However, in his heart, he was not as calm as he appeared.

Today, Charlotte was as beautiful as ever, wearing a pink lace dress, a fashionable round flat hat on her head, long blond hair that fell behind her back, and a small gilded telescope in her hand.

What an angel! He sighed secretly in his heart.

It's a pity that angels in the world always have to spend a lot of money to comb their feathers.

While the two men were still in love, Charles had calculated in a serious and serious manner the minimum cost of providing for the angel: twenty or thirty thousand francs a year for the tailor, between ten thousand and fifteen thousand francs for the perfume and perfume merchants, and for the fashionista, the gardener, the fixed box of the cinema, the coachman, the carriage and the ...... That's at least a hundred thousand francs a year, which translates to about 40 kilograms of gold. This is already the lowest cost of raising an angel in Paris in this era.

At that time, he thought that as long as the Bonapartists took power, this money would not be a problem, so he did not worry about it at all. This is the loveliest and most precious ambition of a young man.

Now, though, it looks like he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

Just as these different thoughts flashed through his mind, Charlotte pulled him in and closed the door with her hand.

"What are you thinking, my dear friend?" She asked a little teasingly, but her face was faintly red.

"I'm thinking about angel feathers." Charles replied casually.

"Huh?" Charlotte was a little confused, then laughed again, "Did you see that I thought of an angel?" Oh, Charles, you're ......."

She reached out and straightened the somewhat crooked bow tie on Charles' chest.

"Nothing." Ignoring the constant touch on his chest, Charles shook his head slightly, then became serious again. "Let's get down to business, shall we? Everyone's time is limited, isn't it? ”

"It's rare to get together again, don't you talk more?" Charlotte tilted her head, and there was actually a little coquettish on her face. "I have a lot to say."

Charles looked at his cousin with a blank expression.

"Alright, alright, whatever you want." Charlotte sighed wryly, then took her hand back. "It's still the same temper as before."

"Now, how's that going?" Charles asked softly. "During this time, your grandfather shouldn't have been idle, right?"

"Of course not." Charlotte was still smiling, "I'm here to tell you now, it's a pinch." ”

"Go on."

Charlotte turned her head to look at the play that was unfolding on stage.

"Mr. Guizot has contacted many people, and it is almost time to turn an attack on Sirte. And it is clear that our venerable Prime Minister is not old and confused, and he is fighting back now. ”

"Fight back?" Charles asked.

"Yes, he now knows that his foreign secretary is engaged in a conspiracy, so he has fought back. He issued an order yesterday for African garrisons to go south to fight the Arabs. ”

"Oh? Yesterday's order? How do you know? Charles was a little surprised.

Charlotte smiled back.

"Well, it doesn't matter, it's important......" Charles groaned, "what is he doing this for?" ”

"As soon as the Prime Minister receives the permission to do so, the garrison will attack south, and the French love to take risks, because there is glory in adventure." Charlotte held her gilded binoculars and carefully looked at the play on the stage. "But if the British protest is received, then it is inevitable that the offensive must be stopped. Thus the glory became a disgrace, because it was difficult for people to accept the fact that France was now snorting at England......"

"And then, in the midst of the excitement, he was able to get the foreign secretary who had accepted the British protest to be dismissed?" Charles understood.

"Maybe we will all end up together, but it will also make the prime minister angry." Charlotte replied in a whisper. "He is 78 years old this year, and he is not afraid to drag people to die together."

"But the Foreign Secretary is afraid." Charles picked up, "So what does our King Bixia think?" ”

"He is still hesitating, and if he forcibly stops the Prime Minister's orders now, it seems that the cowards in the eyes of the French people will become him...... How could he like to take on such a role? Charlotte smiled with a hint of mockery. If the price of ousting his prime minister is to get another foreign secretary, he is not unacceptable. ”

"......I see," Charles sighed, and walked to the window to stand side by side with Charlotte, "that is, now Mr. Kezot is anxious, and he needs to get Mr. Prime Minister out of office before the protests in Britain arrive, and then deal with the matter himself." ”

"That's it." Charlotte nodded slightly, "I didn't expect that although Sirte is already old like this, his brain is very bright, and he has such a hand, which makes the foreign minister mess up, and he must rush to act." ”

"So he's qualified to sit in that position." Charles also applauded.

In the hearts of all the thieves, this cunning and even slightly ruthless former marshal Sirt made them hate, but they couldn't help but have some admiration.

Charles then asked. "So what are Mr. Kizo's plans now? He's not going to sit and die. ”

Charlotte didn't answer, but suddenly burst out with a daxiao, and then tugged at her cousin's sleeve. "Hahahahahaha, it's so funny! Look at that actor, ripping his breeches open......"

Charles followed her gaze, glanced at the stage, and sighed. "This is obviously laughing at you, but you can still laugh."

In the early days of the July Dynasty, when the feminist movement was budding in France, a group of women ran a daily newspaper to promote the feminist movement, called Free Women, later renamed the New Women. In its embryonic stage, the paper's ideas were rather naïve and utopian, and were completely influenced by the utopian socialist ideas that were prevalent at the time.

However, out of ideological naivety, the newspaper seems to be advocating "unconventional and arbitrary behavior" as a "feminist expression", such as advocating wearing breeches and men's clothes, living like a man, etc., which greatly damages the image of the originally reasonable feminist proposition in the hearts of the French. In 1837, a French playwright wrote a burlesque called "Women's Rights", which mocked these "new women" through various exaggerated performances and movements, which was a great success and repeated many times.

Today's theatres are repeating this classic.

"But it's fun, isn't it?" Charlotte was still laughing.

Her silver bell-like laughter caused the audience on the first floor to keep turning their eyes to the two siblings in this box.

"Don't laugh so loudly! Everybody has seen it! Charles was a little embarrassed.

Charlotte, however, laughed for a while before stopping. "Charles, I think those people are stupid."

"Who?" Charles was a little puzzled.

"Those 'new women'." Charlotte's tone was a little inadvertently mocking, "They actually think that imitating men is rebelling against male power, it's stupid, if it's me, it's ......"

She reached out again and gently but gracefully straightened her brother's bow tie, "I will make men willingly submit to me......"

I said, this is in full view of everyone, okay! Feeling even more embarrassed, Charles quickly retreated from the window and returned to the middle of the box.

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and tell me the truth, shall we? What exactly is Guizo going to do? ”

Charlotte turned around and looked at Charles playfully, smiling charmingly and brightly. "Do you really want me to say it out loud?"

"Okay, okay." Charles sighed, and then walked up to Charlotte himself.

It's important to get down to business.

Since the height difference between the two was about ten centimeters, Charlotte raised her head slightly before leaning into Charles's ear, and then whispered a big call.

"Is that so?"

"Is it ......?"

"How is that possible?"

"Are you sure?"

Shire, for his part, has been giving various comments.

After a long while, Charlotte finally finished.

"Your Jihua, I'll think about it...... Ah......h

Charlotte looked at Charles with an innocent smile, not at all like she had just sneaked up on her brother's earlobe.

"Anyway, I've been authorized from above to cooperate with you as much as possible, and to let me know if you need to. Believe us, we are as urgent as you are for the goal of bringing down Sirte. Charles swallowed the unhappiness in his heart and finished his words.

Then he picked up his little velvet hat next to him. "I'll take my leave."

Charlotte lifted her skirt and gave a graceful salute. "Be careful all the way."

Then he looked at Charles with a smile, "Take care!" ”

“xiexie！”

There is a type of woman who has a strong soul, a keen sense of insight, and can make quick decisions, but also outwardly carefree. What men fear and hesitate about, they have already made up their minds, and once they have made up their minds, they will die without hesitation. This ability, which may be called terrifying, is hidden beneath the most graceful and effeminate exterior. If you are deceived by this elegant and effeminate appearance, a man will lose all his temperament.

There is Wu Cao in the East, and there is also Lady Macbeth in the West, both of which are the best among them. And Charles can also find this trait in Charlotte. This trait had fascinated him in the past, and it also reminded him now of how careful he should be if he was against her.

Thankfully, Fran wasn't like that, Charles thought with relief as he left the theater.
