In the trembling eyes of the Count of Henri de La Tourche-Treville, Fran knew that he had succeeded in achieving his goal, reminding his distant relative, who had risen to prominence, of where his prosperity had come from, and of the more than kindness that the Treville family could give.

She remembered her brother's teachings, and when she knew that there was a threat, the less she could say, the better, so after impressing the other party, she no longer continued to pester the other party, but said goodbye to him gently, without making people feel domineering at all.

After saying goodbye to Henry, Fran returned to her room, and by this time, the party had come to an end, and the people who had gathered had left the hotel for the first time, and the largest and most expensive suite in the hotel had suddenly returned to its original silence.

Perhaps because he was so tired today, Charles still sat in the seat where he had spoken, his eyes slightly closed, while Fran carefully slowed her steps, ready to go around behind her brother and reach out and rub his shoulder.

However, before she could reach out, Charles suddenly spoke. "You just looked for Henry?"

"Yes." Fran was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately. "I ...... I just saw that he was a little fluttery, so I thought it would be better to remind him. ”

"Loyalty cannot be earned by scare." Charles shook his head slightly, as if he didn't agree with his sister's approach. "In a sense, if we scare people, it will only make us appear unconfident."

"I just think...... We can't be underestimated, we've been so nice to him all the time, and he might think that even if he betrays us, he can be forgiven. Fran hesitated a little, and immediately explained to his brother, "You don't have to worry, I'm just reminding him in my own name, and he only dislikes me if he wants to be disgusted." You can leave this kind of thing to me, I can be a wicked person, and you can still ......"

"Silly boy! If you come forward, what's the difference between you and me! Do people really think that you are the only one who is beating him? Charles couldn't help but laugh, "You're very smart, but you still lack something in this, but that's okay, no one is perfect, just be patient and learn and accumulate experience...... Don't worry, I'm not angry, it's just a trifle. ”

Although Fran's actions surprised Charles, he was not angry. Either way, her intentions were good, and her actions were not out of line. At least, from the perspective of her willingness to take the position of family interests and deliberately play the villain to scare others, this enthusiasm for the family business is enough to be praised.

After all these years as a minister, he felt more and more that he lacked loyal and capable subordinates, and even from this aspect, he should focus on comforting and encouraging his sister, and not discourage her self-confidence.

"That's great...... Fran finally breathed a sigh of relief, then leaned over and hugged her brother from behind, doing what she had just wanted to do, "It would be nice if it didn't bother you." ”

"There will be no trouble, Henry has a request for us now, and depends on us, so no matter whether he has any grievances in his heart, he will always obey our command, and his loyalty is no problem." Charles still had his eyes closed, but the back of his neck was a little warmer. "Besides, I'm not unprepared...... He's got a couple of people we trust around him, and if there's anything wrong with him, someone will report it to me right away. ”

"What?!" Fran was slightly taken aback, and his hand stopped, "You...... You also put eyeliner next to him? ”

She didn't expect that long before her, her brother had already begun to guard against Henry quietly.

What made her even more terrifying...... If Henry has eyeliner by his side, what about the others? Could it be that she herself was guarded against?

"That's right, I did secretly let Kong Ze get a group of people, who were specifically responsible for me, and then let them collect intelligence, and by the way, spy on those who know too much." Charles sensed her concern in his sister's tone, and immediately explained to her, "But I'm not the kind of person who is suspicious, and I won't do this to someone I can absolutely trust, especially you...... If you can't believe me, then I'm living too hard in this world, right? ”

Although Charles's tone was very flat, just stating a fact, it moved Fran so much that she buried her head in her arms and hugged her brother tightly, her hair falling to his chest at any moment.

She followed her brother so loyally, didn't she want to be so trusted? Otherwise, what is the point of prosperity and wealth?

"Alright, don't be childish." Charles couldn't help but reach out and stroke her fine blonde hair, "Wasn't it pretty powerful just now?" But those merchants were stopped. ”

"Of course I have to be strong in front of outsiders, otherwise how will they listen to me." Fran replied in a low voice, "But in front of you, I ...... I just want to stay with you like that. ”

"Silly boy!" Charles was speechless for a moment and couldn't help but sigh.

This kind of unreserved love is the most touching.

The brother and sister hugged each other like this, and for a moment it seemed as if the flow of time had stopped.

"Why would you entrust such an important matter to ...... Leave it to that Kong Ze to do it? After the warm enjoyment was over, Fran's consciousness returned to the real world, and she began to think about her brother.

"He's an expert, he's worked in the police department before, and he's done a lot, but he can't stay because of the political changes that followed." Charles whispered to his sister, "He used to make me suffer a little bit when he was against me, so I admire his ability. ”

"No wonder!" Fran suddenly realized.

Since Kong Ze appeared next to her brother a few years ago and has been entrusted with important tasks by him, she has always speculated about the identity of this young man who always has a straight face, and now she looks at it, and she is really not an ordinary person.

"Do you have an issue with him?" Charles asked rhetorically.

"I ...... I don't have much contact with him, so I don't have any bad feelings, but ...... As far as I can see, he is a very gloomy person, very scheming, and it is difficult to see what he is thinking under normal circumstances. Fran replied thoughtfully.

Because of the previous trip to the UK, she had a little conflict with Mary and Kong Ze, and it also left a bad impression, so she knew that her brother must have a reason for doing this, but she still couldn't help but want to remind him, "I think sometimes he is quite scary." ”

"Yes, sometimes he's a little scary, but aren't we looking for scary people?" Charles smiled, "He may be scheming, but as long as he pursues glory and wealth, he will always be of use to me." ”

"But a lot of people can give glory and wealth to others, don't they? Our Majesty can even give you a knighthood. Fran carefully admonished her brother, "It is wise for you to have someone like him spy on someone who might betray you, but what if he betrays you?" He knows so many things by now, and if he betrays, it will cause us immeasurable losses...... Can you guarantee that he is absolutely loyal to you? ”

It was a very sharp statement, and Charles couldn't refute it. "Hey...... You're right, I can't guarantee it, I can only use it as much as possible. ”

Yes, how many people in a high position can be fully trusted? Each one must be on guard, and as a result, this has become a strange circle of kings, desperately trying to use one spy agency to monitor each other, even if Charles is not a king now, but when he gradually rises to a high position, there will always be a sense of alienation with the people around him, and there is no way to fully believe that the vast majority of people will be unreservedly loyal to themselves, and they dare not bet that others will follow him wholeheartedly, and it is precisely for this reason that he will secretly let Kong Ze monitor some people.

However, he also knows that this kind of thing cannot be done perfectly. "But we have to do things, we can't focus all our energy on internal surveillance, if we beware of this and that, then how can we do things? What if it's a king? He has the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Supervision Department, and the Palace Guard, and the result? It's not that it's been driven away by revolution after revolution. ”

"Having said that, if you don't be wary of Mr. Kong Ze at all, I still feel a little dangerous." "I'm not saying that he will betray us, I'm just saying that you can't put your hopes in someone else's conscience, that's what you taught me!" ”

Fran's words made Charles stunned again.

I have to say, this does make a lot of sense.

"You've memorized all my words more than I do!" He couldn't help but smile bitterly, "But I can't help it now, I haven't controlled someone who is almost the same as him, so no one can monitor him now." If I let some idle people wait to spy on him, it will only chill his heart in vain, and it will make no sense. ”

"Then let me do it." After hesitating for a moment, Fran said dryly, "You can trust me completely. ”

"It's not a question of trust or distrust......" Charles shook his head.

"That's right, I'm not as good as him in this regard, but his resources were originally given by you, so what if you take back some of them? This is a legitimate thing, even if he knows it in his heart, he can't say anything, right? Fran looked at her brother's side face with confidence, "Besides, he can't just do things that don't see the light in his life, right?" You whitewash his identity, let him live a life of glory and wealth, and then take back some of his things from him, which is already worthy of him, and he should thank you! It is a foolproof arrangement, sir, and believe me, it is not for my own self-interest. ”

Charles turned his head and looked his sister in the eye, and saw in them the fire of enthusiasm and unreserved frankness.

This may not sound so reassuring, but when you think about it, it does make sense.

That's right, he has indeed relied too much on Kong Ze all along, and he has not lived up to his expectations, and has established an intelligence network in a few years, although the scale is not large, and it is only in the initial stage, but after all, he can already benefit himself a lot.

He has merit, but it's time for him to slowly give up some of it. You can repay his hard work with money and status, but you must not let him continue to be in control.

"Well, you convinced me." Charles finally nodded, "I agree with you, Miss Tremier. When the war is over, I will ask Kong Ze to hand over some of his authority and manpower at your disposal, and I hope that you will continue to meet new challenges with the same zeal as before......"

"It's a bit hard, but I'm going to get over it." Fran almost burst into tears, "I'll prove to you that the only person in this world you don't have to worry about is me." ”

"What more can I say......?" Charles shrugged.

Fran had been hugging him from behind, so her towering twin peaks were also gently pressed on his back, making him feel a strange elasticity, and the two of them were so tightly pressed together that he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"It's almost dinner time, right? Shall we have dinner together? To get rid of this subtle embarrassment, he reluctantly said.

"I'm more than happy to." Fran nodded, and then she leaned into Charles' ear, "Also, is there one thing you remember?" ”

"What's the matter?" Charles was a little confused.

"I said before that I want to go to the front with my grandfather, do you remember?" Fran whispered in Charles' ear, tickling his ears a little, "I want to take care of him nearby." ”

"Are you serious?" Charles was a little surprised, "The living conditions there are terrible. ”

"No matter how bad it is, can those who are desperate on the battlefield be bad?" Fran asked rhetorically, "Aren't you worried about Grandpa's health?" He's that age......"

"This ......" Charles froze slightly, he was indeed worried.

"There must be a lot of people around him who are in charge of the work, but who can spend the rest of his life with him like I did, understand his hobbies and habits? No one fits better than me. Fran said calmly, "Say it again...... I can also take some volunteers with me to take care of the wounded, and if I do that, people will definitely think better about us...... And, at least, we can save a few more lives. ”

"I never thought you would have such a merciful thought." Charles couldn't help but smile wryly.

"It's not about kindness, I just think...... The more people respect me, the less they will suspect us...... Isn't it? Fran also smiled wryly, "I have already found a group of volunteers, and when the matter on our side is settled, I can take them to the front line and open a hospital to take care of the wounded." ”

"You're actually ......" Charles didn't expect his sister to be so actionable.

He wanted to object, but looking into his sister's eyes, he knew it was her decision.

"Okay...... Then I hope you go well, I will try to arrange conditions for you. ”

"It's great that you're here to stay!" Fran smiled happily and put her hand on Charles's shoulder, "I've recently learned some nursing, can you try it?" ”

She carefully rubbed Charles' shoulders, and Charles closed his eyes slightly, which was ...... It's really comfortable.

"If I do, he'...... He'll probably forgive us, right? In Charles' ear, Fran whispered. With his blessings, I will be grateful to God! ”

"Silly boy!" Charles couldn't help but sigh again.

"Don't you like silly kids...... Flan smiled slightly.
