After seeing off James Summer, a special envoy sent by the British government, Charles stayed for a few days near Calais, as scheduled. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ostensibly to continue to negotiate his vision of a federation with the merchants he had gathered, he did not participate in the tedious bargaining and complicated process of making the constitution, which he left to his subordinates to do while he was idle.

He did not waste this rare leisure time, and he traveled around the neighborhood in the name of inspection, and the vicinity of Calais, which was already famous for its beautiful scenery, was quite enjoyable to explore here.

As the most respected minister of the Imperial Empire, and the most trusted minister beside His Majesty the Emperor, there were many local officials and powerful people who wanted to entertain him and take the opportunity to get closer to the young minister, but Charles pushed these invitations down, and he did not want to let himself be burdened by mundane affairs in the midst of rare pastimes.

At this time, he just lived in a secret mansion rented with the funds of the ministry, living a private life. Letters were always sent to him in Paris, reporting the inside of the government, which he dealt with every morning, making decisions and controlling his own departments, and then going out in the afternoon to wander around the places of interest.

Mary had been by his side for a while, trying her best to amuse him, she was thoughtful, and she liked to joke, and I have to say that with her by her side, Charles's leisure was much more pleasant.

And every night, Charles's leisure ends.

Mary, as she had said before, had been pestering Charles, as if she really wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to emulate Lola. She had a great time every night, as if the day's amusement had not detracted from her energy.

Charles occasionally regretted it, and though he occasionally couldn't figure out why he did it, how could a man like him resist such a deliberate temptation?

They lingered in this villa many times, and they may have made good memories, but after many days of pleasure, his energy had also weakened rapidly, and he had been feeling a little dizzy during the day, and even his original infinite energy had disappeared, and he seemed to be a little tired.

He wanted to tell Mary to take a break, but because of the young man and the face of the man, he could not speak, so he could only force himself to cope, enjoying the pain that accompanied the excitement.

But there will be a time when this kind of effort will reach its limit.

"Mary, forget it today...... I want to take a break. When Mary came to his bedroom in his bathrobe another night, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed and said, "I'm a little tired." ”

"It's only eight o'clock, and you're tired?" Mary looked at him, a rather sneering smile on her face, "It's not like you......"

"I'm a little tired when I'm on the beach during the day, who told you to let me hold you all the time." Charles blushed slightly, reluctantly making excuses for himself.

"Oh, I see......," Mary's smile deepened, as if she didn't want to dismiss him, "well, then I'll listen to you, sir." ”

"Thank you, thank you......" Seeing Mary so cooperative, Charles also breathed a sigh of relief, today can finally rest and recuperate.

However, as soon as Mary turned around, her long, half-dried dark blonde hair fluttered slightly from the flicking, and in the slightly dim candlelight, it seemed as if the ends of each hair were glittering by the refraction of the droplets, and the skin exposed behind her was set off even fairer.

"Wait a minute!" Charles blurted out to her.

"Anything else?" Somewhat strange, Mary turned back to herself.

"Don't go!" Charles stopped her.

"You...... Do you still want to play? Mary laughed again, and then her mocking gaze slowly followed his face and finally fell to his chest. I don't mind...... But you don't seem to be in a state today, do you? Do you have to push yourself? ”

If it was in normal times, hearing her ridicule herself like this, Charles would definitely be angry and give her a few "lessons", but he really didn't have the energy today, so he had to pretend that he didn't hear it in embarrassment. "No, I didn't mean that, I just wanted you to stay with me. Come on, come on. ”

"Do as you command." Mary smiled and nodded at his request, then walked over to the side of the bed and lay down, landing beside Charles. This scene has often happened here recently, and she can be said to be familiar with it, but because she saw that Charles was not in high interest today, she didn't directly remove the yukata on her body as before, but just stuck it to Charles's side.

When Mary's soft body leaned against Charles's side again, he couldn't help but feel a little ripple in his heart, but because of his lack of energy, the flames quickly disappeared, and he just took her into his arms and stroked her hair gently, like rubbing a kitten.

From time to time, the fragrance of his hair reached his nose, which made him enjoy it a lot, but what made him enjoy it even more was the calm and warmth of the moment.

"It's been really hard for you these days." He whispered. "I've done so much for me before and after the saddle......"

"Is this what I'm supposed to do? You pay me so much, I should always do good things for you, and I'm afraid I'm not good enough! Mary squinted slightly, as if enjoying his caressing. As for hard work...... You're the hard worker......"

"I'm just a little uncomfortable today, everyone has a bad time!" Charles couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and immediately defended himself.

"Where did you think of it? I'm just saying you've been busy lately...... Mary couldn't help but laugh again, "aren't you?" ”

"Okay...... I am. Charles couldn't help but nodded.

Then, he looked at her with some uneasiness, "We have to go back in two days, and I can't get out of the affairs of the ministry." ”

"I know, I arranged your trip." Mary replied without surprise, "I'll go back with you the day after tomorrow, if you don't have any other arrangements......"

"You know what I mean, Mary......" Charles interrupted her, "we won't be able to play like this when we get back." ”

"I know that, too." The smile on Mary's face slowly faded, "Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut about everything, and of course the less known about this relationship is for you, the better, and I'm happy to keep it from the crowd." Naturally, you can live according to your schedule as a minister......"

"I'm sorry, Mary." Charles felt slightly apologetic. "There are some things I really can't help it."

He cheated on Mary not only for pleasure, but also at Mary's request to bring her a child.

It would be an illegitimate child, and it would be almost impossible to get legal status.

The crystallization left behind by Lola can be said to be the product of an accident, but with Mary's child, if she was really pregnant, it was the result of his own conscious contribution, and he owed a great deal of debt to him from every point of view.

Not just for Mary, but for Charlotte.

When he had a rare time to rest today, when he came back to his senses, he felt that he had gone further and further from the road of depravity, and he was more and more in tune with the unhealthy tendencies of this era.

Do I still recognize myself?

"Isn't it too late to say anything about I'm sorry now?" Mary tilted her head and looked at him with interest, "Besides, you don't need to apologize to me, although everything is not the best now, it is good enough for me, I don't feel that you owe me anything, everything is my own choice......"

"Thank you for being able to say that." Charles sighed, "Don't worry, no matter what, I will take care of you and always take care of you." If we do have a child, I will take responsibility for taking care of the child. ”

"Wouldn't you just say that?" Mary smiled and said, "I just need you to do this...... You see, I'm considerate enough for you, right? ”

"yes, that's so considerate." Charles nodded, "Treasures can't repay such loyalty......"

Mary always likes to make fun of herself, but she's just joking, and she does make him happy.

She was very submissive, sensible, and careful to serve herself, never transgressing her boundaries or making any unwarranted demands - perhaps today is an exception, but with all the credit she has had over the years, even if there are some exceptions?

"Now that you have fulfilled your promise, I just ask God to bless me so that my wish can be fulfilled." Mary gently stroked her abdomen, her tone calm, but as if full of anticipation. "What if...... If I'm not lucky enough, I can...... Can you please continue to work hard for me a little more? ”

Although it felt strange, looking at the other party's expectant gaze, Charles finally nodded. "Well, if you have the chance."

"That's satisfying enough, isn't it?" Mary smiled happily, "Okay, you don't have to feel sorry for me, or should you be more confident in yourself?" It's all my choice, isn't it? Trust my vision. ”

"I'd rather not have this kind of blind confidence, I like to be sober all the time, or introspective." Charles smiled as well, "Thank you, though." ”

As he spoke, he hugged the other party more tightly in his arms, but at this time there was no ****, just feeling the beating of that heart.

"Sir, I have to make arrangements in advance when I go back, if I am really pregnant, there are many things that I must not do by myself, and I have to prepare someone to replace me for a while...... Well, that means I've got to have a deputy. ”

"Okay, no problem." Charles thought for a moment, "How's Melissa?" She will be your deputy, it should be enough. ”

"No way!" Mary refused without thinking, and then her face turned very sinister, "Although she is empathetic, her brain is too flexible......"

It took Charles a moment to understand what she meant.

Then he couldn't laugh or cry. "Don't worry, I'...... I would never have thought anything of her, she was an old lover of the Count of Delion, and I had no interest in that. ”

"That's not going to work either! Who knows what you're suddenly thinking, and you'll have to be on guard. Mary rejected him categorically, "Let your sister come." ”

"Let Fran come?" Charles was a little surprised, and then immediately shook his head, "But she's got a lot going on now......"

Fran has been busy with his and the Schneider's affairs lately, and must be busy now, besides, it would be too embarrassing to tell her about it.

"She has a lot to do, but isn't there more to know?" Mary didn't back down at all, "Besides, it's a good thing, don't forget that she's willing to do anything for you...... Also, do you think you really should keep all these things from her? Even if you want to, you can't hide it. ”

"Wait, you're going to tell her all about it?" Charles was shocked. "That's not what you said before."

"Yes." Mary threw herself into his arms, "It's too late for you to regret it, face it, sir." But I don't think that's any harm to you......" (To be continued.) )
