Chapter 152: Longing and Reunion

After leaving the garden, the two men walked back to the hall, then went up the stairs to the second floor, where they continued their walk through the vast mansion.

Guided by the caretaker, they went all the way upstairs and looked at the rooms one by one.

These rooms are very well preserved, but the furniture is very scattered, and many small objects are scattered on the floor, which looks very messy.

When Charles and Charlotte made their way to the prince's bedroom, they found it even more messy than the rest - the bed had collapsed, and the quilt and sheets had been crumpled and dusty. The floor was covered with shards of porcelain, the paintings in the frame had long since disappeared, and even the clock on the desk had been pried open and the gilded casing had been removed.

Charles and Charlotte looked at the man leading the way, then looked at each other.

Because of the haste of the February Revolution, the rule of the July Dynasty came to an end in a few days, and the owner of the place, the Prince of Jurville, fled France in a hurry, and they must have had no time to clean up the things here, which were so messily arranged that it was clearly the result of the revolution - although the government had taken it into public property, it was not very well guarded, and it was very easy for people to take something from here, Even the caretaker himself couldn't do it well, and he took a lot of things from the inside and took them outside to sell.

However, at this time, Charles and Charlotte, of course, were not in the mood to pursue this kind of thing.

"Charles, it's good that everything here is scattered, I don't want to use what the Orleans people used!" After a moment of silence, Charlotte burst into laughter. "Hmph, especially here. I'm going to take it out and burn it publicly, I really want to see the way Louis-Philippe's son gritted his teeth. Hahahaha!! ”

"Well, you're right." Charles casually chimed in, because he was not afraid of offending the royal family of the previous dynasty.

Then they left the place and walked to the library.

Compared to the other rooms, the library is very well preserved, with neat hardcover books on fine walnut shelves - perhaps because the looters have little interest in books.

And in the center of the room. There is a large globe.

Charles looked at the globe with great interest, so he walked over to it and turned it slightly.

Charlotte, on the other hand, looked at other things.

She found that the library was well lit, with sunlight streaming in from the front and a balcony outside. Also, if you look up from the window here, you can see the garden.

Charlotte's heart moved, and an idea suddenly came to mind.

"Charles. We're going to use this as a bedroom in the future, right? I think it should be very nice, as long as it is remodeled and a good set of furniture is added, we will definitely be able to live comfortably in the future......"

Although it is an interrogative sentence. But her heart has already made a decision, because ...... She didn't want to sleep in the room where the Orleans had slept in.

However, her long-awaited question was not answered by Charles. Only hissing was heard.

She turned her head to see that Charles hadn't paid any attention to what she was saying. He was just fiddling with the globe with great interest, and now his eyes seemed to be on the Black Sea. I don't know what I'm thinking, and my hand keeps sliding on it.

Charlotte felt a little unhappy in her heart.

Really, at this age, I'm still like a middle school student, fiddling with these things!

"Charles......" Charlotte couldn't help but whisper.

"Well, well, let's do as you say!" As if stimulated by something, Charles replied repeatedly, his eyes still on the globe. "I do exactly what you want."

"Charles!" Charlotte walked over to Charles' side and tugged at his ear vigorously.

"Ahh Under the pain in his ear, Charles who was caught off guard immediately exhaled in pain, and then finally came to his senses, and hurriedly apologized to Charlotte, who was a little annoyed, "Ah, Charlotte, I'm sorry!" I just got distracted......"

"Hmph, is it just all of a sudden?!" Charlotte still puffed up Charles, "You're always absent-minded when it comes to this kind of thing, have you forgotten?" This is our home, how can you act like it's not your business? You've been like that since you were a kid, always doing something inexplicable......"

Charles didn't know how to answer Charlotte for a moment.

To be sure, he really didn't care much about that kind of thing. For him, as long as the basic comfort and safety are guaranteed, it makes no difference where he lives, which room the bedroom is in, what furniture is used. It's really hard to get him to talk about this kind of thing - besides, Charlotte is in charge of this kind of thing anyway, and most of what she says is in vain, so it might as well pass the time by looking at the globe.

However, of course, he didn't dare to say such things to Charlotte.

In order to make Charlotte happy, he deliberately gave a few small opinions on the furnishings of the future bedroom, which were not worth mentioning and obviously bad, waiting for Charlotte to completely refute them, and then praised Charlotte's elegant taste, saying that he completely followed Charlotte's opinion, and finally turned Charlotte's anger into joy again.

"That's it, don't be stupid, do what I say, Charles......" Charlotte looked like she had completely forgotten that she had just asked Charles to express her opinion, and said to Charles excitedly, "Grandpa has promised me a large dowry, and I was worried that it would cost a lot of money to build a house, but now we can use it directly...... So why should we save money on renovation? I'm going to have to dress up this here from start to finish and let's ...... Let our children live the most comfortable life in the future......"

When it comes to "our children", Charlotte is clearly a little intoxicated, and even seems to be shining in the eyes.

Our children!

A slight cold sweat broke out on Charles' head.

He didn't think that far ahead about his future life, and now he had enough to do.

But what's the reason to pour cold water on it at this time?

At this moment, Charles suddenly remembered something, and then Charles took out his pocket watch and secretly looked at it.

Obviously, it feels like it hasn't been around for long, but it's already been this time......

He secretly screamed in his heart, because he had other things to do today, and there was a very important meeting in the ministry scheduled to be presided over by himself, and he had wasted a lot of time accompanying Charlotte to see the house, so I was afraid that he had to hurry.

But how do you say goodbye to Charlotte, who is on the rise? Charles was in a quandary.

Looking at Charlotte's radiant face, Charles couldn't say that he wanted to leave - it could be seen that Charlotte was indeed sincerely happy and looking forward to the marriage of the two, looking forward to the happy life of the two people in the future, how could he bear to say goodbye like this suddenly?

Then, he hesitated, wondering if he might as well postpone this important meeting.

"Charles, what's wrong with you?" However, Charlotte had already noticed his small movements, and asked directly, "Is there anything waiting to be done?" ”

Charles was startled, but forced to laugh.

"Well, yes...... It occurred to me that I had some important things to do this afternoon...... But, Charlotte, don't worry so much, I'll continue to accompany you today, I can delay the matter for a while. ”

"No need to delay, you've been with me long enough today, and I don't want to drag you anymore......" Maybe it's because she's in such a good mood, Charlotte is surprisingly easy to talk today. You can go about those things later, so that those people don't complain about you in private. ”

"Charlotte......" Charles looked at Charlotte with some hesitation, and was very happy that Charlotte was reasonable today.

If Charlotte can be so reasonable in the future, maybe my married life will indeed be very happy in the future? He thought so suddenly.

"What, isn't it? Charles, don't scruple, I'm not going to be angry. Seeing that Charles was still hesitating, Charlotte suddenly smiled, "Young and promising Mr. Treville, I have handed you back to this great country, and I hope she will be well." ”

After confirming that Charlotte wasn't joking, Charles finally nodded.

"As long as you're happy, then her will be fine."

Then, Charles hugged Charlotte, kissed her cheek, and left the library delicately.

After seeing Charles leave, Charlotte revisited the room, thinking carefully about how it should be set up in the future, and then she walked out of the room and continued to look elsewhere.

As she visited, a plan for the renovation of the mansion slowly took shape in Charlotte's mind. She was overjoyed, for she would soon be able to live with her beloved, in a home that she had transformed at will, and which was entirely her own—was not that the greatest happiness a girl could wish for?

What a wonderful thing it would be if the happiness of the world was not mixed with so many unfortunate noises.

As Charlotte finished her tour of the second floor and walked down the stairs, an exclamation suddenly came from downstairs.

"Wow, what a place to be!"

This is a passionate exclamation for young people.

Charlotte looked downstairs and found her unknown cousin, Ezreal Walter, wearing a gray-yellow coat and crooked black tie, standing in the middle of the hall, looking up at herself.

"You've arrived a little earlier than I thought, but luckily Charles has already left......," Charlotte greeted him with a smile, "Sir, what do you have to say about seeing me?" (To be continued......)
