The day after he made an agreement with Agnes to keep her in his home, Charles paid a visit to the Duke's palace in Treville. ,

Because he and the eldest lady knew everything about it, he was taken directly to the reception room in the ducal palace without any hindrance, and the servant informed Charlotte at the first time, and Charlotte, although a little surprised by Charles's sudden visit without prior notice, immediately went to meet Charles.

It's just that as soon as he saw Charles's current appearance, the original smile on his face suddenly changed color.

"Charles, what's the matter with you?" Looking at Charles, who had a blue nose and swollen face, Charlotte asked with some surprise and anxiety.

"It's okay, I just accidentally got it." Unable to tell her the specific reason, Charles had to vaguely fool around, "Don't worry, it will be fine soon......"

Charlotte frowned and walked over to Charles' side.

"Don't fool me, how can it be like this if you're not careful?" She was full of concern, and even a little annoyed, "It must have been someone you fought with, right?" Is it with whom? ”

Of course, Charles did not dare to tell the truth about this question.

"It's nothing, it's really just a little thing." Charles waved her hand and told her to stop pursuing the question, "Okay, don't talk about that, okay?" ”

His attitude made Charlotte a little confused.

Is it because of a conflict with someone at work?

Still is...... Who did you fight with in the social arena and get jealous? So you don't dare to mention it to me?

This thing really needs to be seen.

Although she guessed so in her heart, she remained silent on the surface. Just looked at the bruises on Charles's face with some distress.

"Really, it's hard to get to your current status and you're always picking quarrels and provoking trouble with others, and you really don't have any consciousness at all?" She took her hand with a slight reproach. Touching the areas that were still swollen, "You see you are making a fuss like this, how do you go to work?" ”

"Of course, I can't go to the office, so I've already taken leave from the department, and I don't have to go for a few days...... If there is any important document, my secretary will bring it to me directly. Charles replied with a smile, trying to tone down her worries. That's why I just came here today. ”

"Then you should be careful in the future, don't always make trouble. It's true, it's still not serious at such an age. Charlotte frowned slightly. If you make any mistakes, how much trouble will you have to cause everyone? ”

"Good, good...... I understand. Because he knew in his heart that Charlotte's reproach was justified, Charles could only keep nodding.

"By the way, what's the matter with your sudden run over today?" After counting the charr for a while. Charlotte finally asked about Charles' purpose for today.

"Ahh I just wanted to find your father. Charles immediately replied, "I have something important to ask him." ”

"Something important? Oh, well, he's still at home, I'll take you to him later. Charlotte nodded, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, she suddenly looked at Charles again. Shire...... By the way, there's one thing...... Something I'm afraid of...... I'm afraid I'll have to tell you. ”

"Huh? What's going on? I want to say it and stop talking. Charles was a little confused.

"It's not a big deal. I thought about suing you again for a while. Charlotte hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind, "Do you remember the young man named Ezreal Walter?" is the illegitimate son of Princess Kadiyan. ”

Charles' smile froze imperceptibly.

"Ah, I remember him," after a moment of pause, he nodded as if normal, "what's wrong with him?" ”

Charlotte's expression suddenly became a little mysterious.

"I heard a little bit from my brother...... Well, it was my father and brother who passed on a little bit of the news, and then he told me......" She leaned into Charles' ear and said softly, "That Ezreal, yes, it's your father's illegitimate son......"

Charles' eyes widened suddenly, and he turned his head to look at Charlotte.

The two of them looked at each other for a long time, and they were a little embarrassed for a while.

"Well, Charles, it's not a surprise......" Charlotte's tone was much softer, perhaps to comfort Charles, "I was already suspicious a while ago, that princess seems to have a deep relationship with your father, and she entrusted her illegitimate child to our family, it seems that there must be something hidden in it...... It's just that I wasn't sure at the time, so I didn't tell you. ”

Charles did not answer.

"Well, actually, you care too much, I just told you because I was worried that something strange would happen, you don't have to worry about him...... An illegitimate child can't affect you or anything, if you don't like it, just treat him as if he doesn't save it. Charlotte continued to comfort, "We've been in the social world for so long, haven't we seen this kind of thing a lot?" Although it is a little uncomfortable to be born in himself, but there is no need to take it too seriously, my father also said that he told us just to let my brother not bully him, and by the way, give him a care of him, and never let him get in the way of you......"

"I'm not worried about that." Charles, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, but his expression was obviously much more solemn. "I know about it now."

"What? You got it? So, are you here for this today? Charlotte was amazed.

"Hmm...... That's part of the reason. Charles smiled bitterly, "Alright, take me there." ”

"Okay, let's hurry over, Dad has something to go out at noon, we have to hurry." Charlotte took Charles' hand and walked through the mansion to her father's study.

……………………

Like Charlotte, the little Duke of Trevil was also shocked when he saw Charles' current appearance.

So Charles had to fool around as before.

"Charles, do you have anything to do with me?" After no longer paying attention to Charles' injuries. The cousin asked him what he meant.

Charles, however, suddenly hesitated. "Hmmm......"

"Can't I stay here?" Charlotte immediately understood what he meant, "Charles, what I said today. Is it something I can't know? ”

This slightly questioning and shocked look made Charles feel embarrassed for a while, but because this matter could only be kept secret, he had to pat Charlotte with an apologetic smile. "Charlotte, today's events are particularly important, and ...... And it's not a good thing, so I don't want you to know. Thank you for your understanding? Okay, you go and wait for me first, and I'll come back to you. Let's have a good chat......"

Charlotte tilted her head, still wondering what Charles was up to—had we done anything good as a family?

However, seeing Charles's appearance, she stopped insisting. "Okay. I'll go back first. Wait a minute, come to me......"

She smiled pretending to be lighthearted, then turned and left the room.

It's so strange for Charles today, it looks like there's a lot of things to hide from me, and that's not okay...... She thought to herself.

"Charles, what's the matter, so solemn?" When the door was closed, Charles' cousin looked at Charles suspiciously.

Before Charles could answer, he seemed to remember something. "Did Philip or Charlotte tell you about that Ezreal? Really, what are these kids anxious about...... It's not that I won't sue you. ”

"Yes. I already know about it......" Charles shook his head, "but they didn't sue me. ”

"Didn't they say that? So who is that? The little Duke of Treville was a little surprised, "Could it be that the princess herself sued you?" ”

"No, it's someone else...... Charles sighed softly, "it's Agnes who told me." ”

"Agnes?" At first, he was a little confused, but he finally reacted, "It's Alice's sister, your aunt?" That little girl sued you? How come even she knows? ”

In the midst of Uncle Lian's reactions, Charles was finally able to be sure, and it seemed that he didn't know much about it.

Suddenly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, it's her, she's a guest at our house now, and she's told me a lot of things." Charles nodded, "She's the one who told me that Princess Cadion is my father's old lover, and they have an illegitimate child......"

"Well, that's true...... At that time, their relationship was very close, which was very enviable. The little Duke of Trevil sighed, as if reminiscing about the old days, "At that time, we all admired the princess, and in the end it was only your father who took the lead, so we were all jealous of your father at that time...... Hey, I didn't expect so many years to pass in a flash! ”

"That's why you value that Ezreal so much?"

"yes, how can I not value it? Although I was shocked when I first learned about it, I thought about it...... He's the son of her and my cousin, shouldn't he be brought along? Uncle replied dryly, "Even if he doesn't have the surname Treville, he still has the blood of our family after all, and a little help should be deserved." At that time, I was afraid that you would think too much, and the princess repeatedly told me, so I didn't tell you, I'm really sorry......"

If you tell me these things in the morning, there are many things that can be avoided...... Charles sighed inwardly.

But what more can be said about this utterly ignorant cousin?

"So, he's actually my brother?" With a kind of dazedness, he frowned slightly.

"What, you don't like it?" Uncle Cousin was a little puzzled, and then patted Charles on the shoulder, "Okay, kid, this kind of thing is nothing, if you don't think you can be considered a brother, then you don't need to be a brother, just an ordinary person who has something to do with our family...... Or do you think he's an eyesore and don't want him to be in front of us again? ”

"No, you don't have to, just keep doing him a favor." Charles hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that he didn't have any ill will towards this "younger brother", "You can take him with you first...... If I can trust him, I'll help him out, after all, there's nothing wrong with having one more talent available. ”

Although it can't be completely inappropriate, he really doesn't have much affection for that person, and it is naturally impossible to be a younger brother.

However, it's one thing to have no feelings, so what's wrong with helping out without hindering yourself?

"It would be great if you could say that, I'm afraid I won't be able to figure it out." Uncle Cousin smiled again.

Then, his smile froze immediately.

"I'm here mainly to say that I've seen my father." Charles suddenly raised his head and stared at his cousin, "Just the day before yesterday. ”

"Your father!?" The other party shouted, "You saw him?" This...... What's going on? ”

"You've already met him before, haven't you?" Charles still stared at him, "but he didn't tell us." ”

"But that's what he asked! He said he didn't want to disturb your lives! The little Duke of Tréville replied at once, inadvertently admitting the fact that he had met his cousin. I didn't expect him to take the initiative to meet you on his own...... By the way, where is he now, I haven't seen him in a long time? ”

He didn't come to see me on his own initiative...... Charles, of course, would not have said this.

"Well, we brother and sister have met," he replied in a calm tone, "and we talked for a while, and at last he seemed to have his wish fulfilled, and decided to leave France again." ”

"Are you leaving again?" Although there was some surprise, Uncle Tang was not particularly surprised, "Okay, he likes to wander so much anyway, let him go." It's fine, and I don't have to cause you any trouble. ”

"yes, that's fine." Charles nodded.

He was finally relieved.

After so many temptations, Charles finally came to an opinion in his heart - it seems that the Duke of Treville's family really had little to do with his father, and even those things that happened to his father back then, and they didn't know much about it. His future father-in-law only helped his father and hid it from himself based on his cousin feelings back then, and he didn't know much about other things.

That is, they cannot threaten themselves.

An inexplicable sense of relief finally made his tense spirit relax.

"If anything happens in the future, as long as it involves me, you must sue me first, okay?" With a look of prostration, he sighed weakly, "No matter who asks for concealment, you must sue me, and you are not allowed to conceal it anymore!" ”

"Is it necessary to say it so strictly?" His future father-in-law laughed dumbly.

"It's just that there is such a strict zhòng." Charles replied sternly. "Otherwise, I will never forgive you next time."

Seeing Charles' expression so strict, little Trever slowly became solemn.

"Hey...... What an intolerant child, well, you have the final say. ”

That's fine.

Charles finally laughed.

"Thank you, goodbye." (To be continued!)
