Although Charles coaxed his sister very attentively, perhaps because he missed his brother too much and was too agitated, it took a while for Fran to stop her tears, and her eyes were already slightly puffy.

"There's no need to be so exaggerated, it's just a small gift for you......" Charles smiled wryly as he threw his almost soaked handkerchief directly onto the table next to him.

"I ...... I never thought you would be so gentle with me today. Fran still choked up, "I'm so happy." ”

"I'm just treating you the same way I did." Charles replied with a smile.

"What about you...... Then don't you get angry with me anymore? Fran asked cautiously.

"yes, don't get angry anymore." Charr was still smiling, "What's the use of being angry?" You're my sister after all. ”

Although he was really angry with his sister for what he did in private before, the past is in the past after all, and he can't be angry with his sister for the rest of his life.

"Alright, let's go back, you're already waiting for me to be impatient......" He turned and was about to leave. Your eyes are a little swollen, wait a minute and explain it to everyone, otherwise others will think I am bullying you again......"

"I ...... Is it okay for me to do this? Fran hesitated, and pointed to the medal on his chest. Why don't I put it away...... I'll just give it back to you, it's not going to be of much use to me......"

Although this medal was Austrian, some people present must have seen that she was afraid that it would affect the Charles.

"Nope. What I have given to others, I will never take it back. Charles waved his hand back. Don't be afraid, the guests here today are elegant people. Wouldn't make a fuss in such a boring place. Besides, what if they say it? I'm just sending my sister a useless gadget, but if I make her happy, I can really make it useful......"

"Poof...... Fran laughed at him, "Well, I'll listen to you." ”

Then, as if thinking of something, she suddenly looked at Charles, "I...... I always feel that you have come back a lot more than before. Did you encounter something there? ”

"Oh, I met with Prince Metternich and another very good German, and they made me feel that I had so much to do that I couldn't stop." Charles's expression became serious again, "Simply put, I see the future, so I have to keep going. ”

Looking at her brother, who suddenly became serious, Fran was stunned, she didn't quite understand the meaning of this answer.

But judging by what she knows about her brother. This answer is definitely from the heart.

Now that he is in this position, what else can attract him so much? What exactly does he want to do?

It doesn't matter anymore.

"Wherever you're going, I'...... I'll be next to you and walk there with you. She looked up. Passionately said, "So, I beg you." Never ...... Don't leave me behind, okay? ”

"Okay." Charles laughed again. Just like when she was a child, she reached out and flicked her forehead. "But I'm going to tell you. It's not easy at all. ”

"The harder it is for me, the better...... Because, because the harder it is, the more it proves my loyalty to you, and the more it makes me feel the joy of walking with you. Fran still looked at him without flinching, "This will be the greatest happiness of my life!" ”

This firm vision and enthusiastic passion made Charles, who has always been calm and composed, feel a little overwhelmed.

"I'm still so young, but I like to talk about it all my life!" Charles looked away, then sighed.

Then he took a step and walked out.

"I'm not a kid anymore!" Fran protested and followed him out.

When the siblings reappeared in the hall, they immediately became the focus of almost everyone's attention, and while marveling at their appearances, most people's eyes were instantly drawn to the glittering gold medal on Fran's chest, and then those who recognized them whispered.

Charlotte, of course, recognized it, and walked over to the two of them with a displeased face.

"How did you do that?" Charlotte asked, looking at Fran as she held out her hand to her husband.

"Seeing her outfit, I was inspired and decided to give her a gift to add a bit of style to her appearance." Charles reached out and took her hand, then whispered in reply.

"Isn't that fooling around?" Charlotte frowned disapprehensively.

"What's the matter, it's just a joke." Charles was unimpressed.

"There's a limit to joking, right? This is a medal from His Majesty the Emperor, representing the honor of Austria! Charlotte still counted him, "As a result, you changed hands and gave them to people without care, what do you make others think?" ”

"I don't care what they think." Charles waved his hand nonchalantly, "Anyway, this thing doesn't really mean anything, it's nothing for me to give it away, they will understand me, who would hurt their dignity for such a trivial matter?" If the Emperor of Austria had known how beautiful my sister was, I'm afraid he would have thought I had done the most of my things......"

"You just love to mess around." Charlotte was still annoyed.

Fran stood quietly to the side, watching the two couples arguing with each other, and suddenly felt a little jealous in her heart. The person in front of her, who took away her loved ones, is still pregnant, and can still scold her brother as a matter of course...... You will have retribution!

No, I can't show this emotion, and I finally got my brother's forgiveness. She immediately looked away, pretending not to notice anything.

"Okay, okay, don't argue about such a trivial matter, so many people are watching." Charles ended the little argument with his wife, "Let's go talk to the guests first." ”

"Wait." Charlotte glanced sideways at Charles.

Then she stumbled to herself. dragged her husband along and walked in front of her sister-in-law. "Welcome to my home and that of the Charles. Miss Treville. Although my husband has behaved in some inappropriate ways towards you just now, I am now able to greet you. But I ask you not to take it to heart......"

Maybe these words didn't mean much, maybe there were, but there was no doubt that it stinged Fran's heart even more. However, on the surface, she could only endure the pain and pretend that nothing happened.

"Thank you, Madame Treville." She replied calmly but politely. "I'm very pleased with your hospitality."

"Oh, that's good, after all, you're here for the first time, and I hope you're satisfied." Charlotte smiled slightly. "Also, I have to say, you are dressed so beautifully today, beyond imagination."

"Thank you for the compliment." Fran replied calmly.

"It's a lot easier for me to arrange things for you next." Charlotte paced slowly, getting closer to her, "Ah, such an outstanding appearance, everyone must be tempted......

"What do you mean by that?" Fran felt a little strange when she heard this.

Even Charles sensed the deep meaning that seemed to be hidden in these words, and looked at Charlotte dumbfounded.

"Most of the people I'm inviting today are young people. And they're all promising young men, and they're all good-looking—but they've all been carefully selected by me," Charlotte still smiled slightly, "and you can choose with confidence." ”

"Pick ......," Fran's face turned a little paler by the way. I didn't know I was here today for this! ”

After saying that, she immediately looked at Charles, "Sir...... Is this also your decision? ”

"No...... I do not know. Didn't make such a decision. Charles replied immediately, and then looked anxiously at his wife. Charlotte, what does this mean? ”

"Is that what your grandfather meant? He asked me to help me find a suitable candidate for Fran's future husband. I've picked a lot of people in the past few months, and I've already reported them to him. Charlotte replied with some confusion, "However, I think it is best for me to do this kind of thing, so I will simply take the opportunity to help you pick them all over today, and Fran can choose slowly-I think she has the capital to do so." ”

"Grandpa......" Charles was taken aback again.

This is also true, when his granddaughter reaches this age, he should indeed be in a hurry, he has already had such a mind last year, but he didn't expect to find Charlotte here now.

Although he knew in his heart that Grandpa and Charlotte had the intention of doing this, he still couldn't let go.

"I'm sorry, I don't have anyone to work with." Before Charles could speak, Fran immediately rejected her, "You're sorry to bother. ”

"You know if you haven't seen it yet?" Charlotte seemed a little surprised, and a little dissatisfied with such an unkind answer.

Then, she suppressed these dissatisfactions and looked at the other party as calmly as possible, "You don't have to doubt my sincerity, I am really very serious about looking for candidates for you, and each candidate is carefully selected." I know we had some disagreements and had a lot of unpleasant problems in the past, but that was in the past, and now I am helping everyone in the family with the same public heart. ”

"I'm young and don't need this kind of help, but thank you anyway." Unmoved, Fran rejected her.

"I'm not young anymore, but the old man has been talking about it for a long time." Charlotte disagreed.

"I'll explain it to Grandpa, I don't want to think about it yet." Fran's tone hardened, "I'm here today to see my brother and catch him up, not to do these things. ”

Such an unceremonious refusal made Charlotte a little annoyed, and her brows furrowed.

"If she doesn't like it, then forget it, anyway, there will be time and opportunity in the future." Before Charlotte's seizure, Charles hurriedly played a round at the right time, "It's normal for grandpa to be anxious, but the children have their own ideas, so you can't do everything according to the old man's ideas, right?" Charlotte, don't forget, you were twenty-four when you married me......"

"How am I the same as you?" Charlotte glanced at him angrily, "Didn't the two of us get married because of the old man's will?" ”

"Alright, Charlotte, don't argue about this kind of thing......" Charles sighed, "Since it's her own will, we should respect it." ”

"Come on!" Charlotte still didn't look angry. "You must be more than anyone else want to see this happen, who doesn't know you......"

"What's wrong with me?" Charles felt innocent.

"You know it yourself." Charlotte replied angrily.

"You two are really in love...... "The two of them argued almost routinely, making Fran next to him even more unhappy." Shouldn't I shy away from it and wait until you've got it done? ”

"No...... Don't do this. Charles hurriedly spoke, "Anyway, this is your own private matter, I respect your heart, if you don't like it, then let's treat it as if Charlotte didn't say those things." ”

Then, ignoring Charlotte's annoyed gaze, he laughed again, "But Charlotte is right, you're beautiful today. ”

"I think it's pretty good, too." Fran turned his anger to joy.

"That's it!" Charlotte grabbed Charles' hand. "Let's go!"

"I have something to talk to you about in a minute...... Don't go back yet. When she was dragged away by Charlotte, Charles told her sister. (To be continued.) )
