"Charles, you really cried last night." In the morning light, Albert, who was standing at the head of the bed, looked at Charles sternly, "I saw with my own eyes that before you passed out, you shed tears. ”

"That's because there's no way," Charles's face was depressed and helpless, and with the slightly blue half of his face, it looked a little funny. "It's impossible not to shed tears after being hit so hard, right?"

Yes, although his head still hurts a little, Charles still remembers that at the end of the competition, his aunt hit him heavily on the side of his face with a cruel blow, and the sudden sharp pain made him cry tears of grief before fainting.

"It's really amazing...... Albert nodded, "I was dumbfounded, I didn't expect her to be so skilled!" Charles, you really cried last night. ”

"She has liked to practice swords since she was a child, and she is such a strong-willed person, of course she will study hard......" Charles sighed, "She was very strong back then, but I didn't expect that after a few years, not only did she not regress, but she strengthened a little." ”

"I've really seen it for a long time, it's unheard of for a woman to be so strong! It's a miracle that I don't know how much hard work and hard work I have paid! Albert exclaimed, exaggeratedly, "Charles, you really cried last night." ”

"I mean, can't you just not mention it! What's the point of teasing me like that? Charles roared, and then the right side of his face ached even more, and it seemed as if it was about to burn under the influence of shame and pain. Don't say anything cool next to me, you can do it! ”

"Hahahaha...... Hahahaha! Seeing such a rare anger in the Charles, Albert finally couldn't help but laugh. Charles, I didn't expect you to have such a time! ”

He laughed for a while in Charles' angry voice, and then slowly retracted his smile and looked at Charles calmly, "You're right, I can't beat it either, isn't it obvious?" We're about the same level. Judging from her swordsmanship last night, even if I am a little stronger, I will be beaten if I go up. Don't forget. Charles, you really cried last night. ”

"I can still beat you to tears!" Charles could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, almost jumped out of bed, and punched Albert.

Because Charles didn't really exert himself. So Albert easily blocked Charles' attack. He still had the same smile he had just now, "I'm relieved to see you in such spirits." ”

"If you hadn't taunted me, I'd be more ......"

Just then, the door to this room was suddenly opened.

"Aha, you made such a big fuss early in the morning, young people are really vibrant......"

Miss Agnes de Nordlien appeared at the door.

It's still the same as last night's outfit, and I'm still smiling half-squinting. It looks gentle and demure.

But Albert no longer dared to judge her with the light-hearted attitude of last night, he had already seen the aunt of his friend. When it suddenly broke out, what kind of terrifying inner thing it had.

Now that she didn't have an umbrella with her, Albert subconsciously looked at the other party carefully, as if trying to determine if she had hidden her weapon in some other way.

"What are you looking at? Mr? After sensing Albert's gaze, Agnes looked at him with a smile, but her gaze was not as warm as when she looked at Charles.

"Your charm dazzles me." Albert gave an answer immediately and professionally.

"Really? I've been used to hearing this kind of rhetoric in the social arena back then, if you want to compliment me, can you be more creative, kid? Agnes still smiled, "Or do you actually want to have a chat with me?" ”

"At least not yet, I don't have the courage to do that." Albert shrugged his shoulders in a dashing manner, "After witnessing the scene of Charles being beaten to tears, I personally think it is better to be more cautious. ”

Then, knowing that the other party was actually hinting at leaving the room for a while, he bowed and exited the room.

In this way, only these two relatives were left in the room.

Agnes looked at Charles with a smile until Albert's footsteps had faded away.

"You're lucky, Charles, to have such a loyal friend...... He had been on my guard until he was sure I had no ill intentions. There are not many people who can do this when they are in a difficult situation...... People, as long as you have two or three friends in your life, isn't it already enough! ”

"Yes, he is indeed my best friend." Charles sat back on the bed, "I'm a little worried, but you won't do me any harm......

"Won't it?" Agnes slowly walked up to Charles, then looked at Charles with a smiling but malicious gaze, and then she suddenly reached out and pinched the side of Charles's face that had been injured earlier, "So what is this?" ”

"Ahh In severe pain, Charles couldn't help but exclaim, "Don't do this! ”

"Ah, it looks really swollen." Agnes said calmly.

"Isn't that your fault?" Charles smiled bitterly, "Then again, I already lost the first time you kicked me in the stomach, so why do you want to kick me in the face again?" ”

Although there are some complaints in his tone, to be honest, he is not angry - because this is a formal competition, and people have said in advance that they will never be ruthless, and if they lose, their strength is not good, so what is there to be angry about?

"I was interested, and I didn't stop it all at once, sorry." Agnes smiled, not showing any apologies.

After all, how many times have Charles been beaten like this when he was a child, and what is there to care about?

"Well, it's actually nothing, I wasn't scared by you back then, and now I'm this age. What else? Charles shrugged, "It'll be fine in a few days anyway, it's okay." ”

"That's it. That's manhood! Agnes smiled and complimented Charles.

Then, as if remembering something, she continued to look at Charles, "By the way, when I return home, I heard that you are going to get married?" Is it with that little girl from your cousin's house? ”

"Well, yes. It's Charlotte, and she and I are already engaged and will be married soon. Charles nodded in response.

"That's exactly what happened. Sure enough......" As if she understood something, Agnes nodded slightly.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing......" Agnes smiled again, "Charles." But you will receive it in the future. That little girl isn't easy to get along with. ”

Charles could understand the meaning of his aunt's words - although Agnes and Charlotte didn't see each other much when he was a child, Charlotte's arrogant and commanding personality naturally impressed her - but after all, aren't these Duchess Ladies all such personalities? There's nothing abnormal about it.,It's like this anyway.。

"It's okay, I'll get along," Charles shrugged again. "Well, that's not the way it is in life."

"I'm only in my twenties. It's really unbearable that you still have the face to put on this picture that you have looked down on life! Do you think that a few inconsequential exclamations like this are to see through life? It's ridiculous. Agnes reached out again and grabbed Charles's still painful face, "I've been like pretending to be adults since I was a child, haven't you been afraid of being beaten?" ”

Her aunt's sanction caused Charles to experience unspeakable pain again, and it took a while for her to stop.

"I heard that you came here to participate in the exercise with the army this time?"

"Well, yes." Because his face was still painful, Charles's voice became a little unnatural, "To be precise, this exercise itself was planned and organized by me, and my purpose is to test the superiority of using the railway to transport the army and the matters that need attention, and at the same time to slowly summarize a set of actions suitable for railway mobility for the 6th Army, which is very important for the future, because in the future, it is obvious that it will be an era of railways, and sooner or later we will rely on this epoch-making Ming to change the military form." In addition, by the way, in fact, this railway was also planned and built by me, and if it is by the way, we will have more and longer lines in the future......"

As he talked about what he was interested in, Charles went on and on, forgetting nothing else—like a man who wanted to show off how capable he was now in front of his past teacher.

Agnes listened quietly to Charles's tirade, apparently there was something she didn't understand, but she didn't interrupt and listened attentively. She remained silent until Charles finished speaking.

"In other words, my nephew, the child who was beaten a lot, suddenly became a great person? It's really unbelievable. Finally, Agnes said what she thought, "Really, incredible! Charles, aren't you lying? ”

“…… There is no lying, no boasting, it's all true. Charles laughed helplessly. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone when you get back to Paris. ”

"Great, great......" Looking at Charles, Agnes muttered suddenly.

At this moment, the smile on her face has completely disappeared, replaced by a stern look, and even with a hint of remembrance and sorrow, as well as ...... Gratified.

Charles looked at her inexplicably, wondering why she suddenly looked so good.

The gaffe didn't last long, and soon Agnes reined in her feelings and stretched out her hand again.

This time, it was carefully placed on the forehead without touching the swollen area.

"I'm glad Alice has a good son. Thank God, a qiē is all good. Keep up the good work, Charles, and I will bless your ......"

"Thank you, Agnes." Feeling the sincerity of the other party, Charles also replied with a smile, "I also hope that you can finish things as soon as possible, so that you can return to normal social activities, right?" Ten years is long enough......"

"I will, thank you for your blessings." A smile bloomed on Agnes' face again, "Justice will be done, it's only a matter of time. By now, the time has come to understand......"

Although Charles still didn't understand what his aunt meant until the end, it didn't stop him from giving the other party an encouraging smile.

"Alright, let's not talk about that," Agnes laughed for a moment and shook her head slightly, "Charles, are you okay with the wound on your face?" ”

"It's fine, it's just a bruise, I told people that I had an accident...... Charles replied immediately. Anyway, I'm not an actress, so I have to rely on my face to meet people......"

Then, he suddenly understood what the other party meant. "You're not going to entertain me? What's wrong? ”

"Well, I'm leaving here." Agnes nodded, "I'll leave after lunch." ”

From the other man's gaze, Charles sensed that she had made up her mind.

"Oh, there's no way around it, but I'm glad I was able to see you last night......," Charles sighed helplessly, "Well, Agnes, I hope you don't disappear for another ten years this time." ”

Then, he took out a business card from the pocket of his coat that was lying beside the bed, and carefully handed it to her, "If you come to Paris, you can come to me if you have the chance?" With this, I'll definitely see you as long as I'm not very busy. ”

"Hey, what a great guy!" Agnes smiled as she took the card.

……………………

The two men then talked for a while, and it was only after a light lunch that Charles and Albert offered their leave.

Agnes stood on the steps of the doorway, holding her parasol and smiling as she watched the two young men leave, waving her hand incessantly.

It wasn't until the figures of the two men disappeared that she spoke leisurely.

"Is there already a trace of him?"

"Yes, miss." The man who had pointed a gun at Charles and the others stood respectfully behind her, his expression was very deferential, and he was completely devoid of the ferocity of the time. "He stayed here for a few days and then went to ......"

"Let me guess......" Agnes still smiled, "did you go to Paris?" ”

"Yes, miss."

"Hmph, I know that my son is getting married, so I want to come back and see it...... At this time, he looks like a normal person. Agnes sneered. So that where the iniquity is committed, it ends. ”

"Yes, miss." Still the same answer.

"We're going to try to fix it as quickly as possible." Agnes still looked into the distance, "He still has a great future, and this kind of thing shouldn't get in their way." ”

Then, she let out a sigh of relief, and gracefully clenched the handle of the umbrella.

"A decade of chase...... Ten years of waiting! Seeing my dream come true, I suddenly feel so excited! ”

"Inevitably, miss." The voice remained the same with respect, "God will forgive you for your passion at this moment." ”

"God? I don't like Him. Agnes laughed again, "We can do it ourselves, so why bother with his old man?" ”

[Quoted from chapter 12, verse 19, the whole verse reads: "Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but give in and let the wrath of the Lord, for it is written, 'The Lord says, 'Avenge is mine, and I will repay.' (To be continued!)
