After Matilda had finished visiting Fran and ended her visit, Charles sent her away in fear.

Along the way, he had been worried that Matilda would suddenly lose his temper again, so he dealt with her carefully, not even daring to joke, and perhaps moved by Charles's attitude, Matilda didn't say anything more, just said goodbye to Charles indifferently, and didn't mention anything else.

After agreeing on a time for their next meeting, Matilda finally left in a carriage under Charles' watch. As the shadow of the car faded on the road, the sky slowly darkened.

This did not relax him, but rather caused him to suffer from the end of the rest day.

Charles suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted - for the first time in his life, he felt that dealing with women was more of a headache than indulging in official duties.

At this time, he naturally didn't know how many years this helplessness and feeling would accompany him in the future......

……………………

In the morning, after a good night's rest, Charles regained his spirits, and after packing himself up, he went downstairs to the diner-room, where he was ready to go on his official duties after breakfast.

When he walked to the restaurant, he found that his grandfather was not there, and his sister was alone eating breakfast. Perhaps because he didn't have to find a way to deceive him, Charles breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

"Good morning, Fran." With this relaxed mood, he nodded to his sister, and then sat down happily, ready to finish eating and leave.

"Good morning, sir." Fran, who had already cut the bread into small slices and was ready to eat, whispered a response.

"Huh?" Chardon stopped in surprise and looked at his sister.

The greeting just now was just a habitual remark he said, and recently Fran didn't hear it at all, completely ignoring it, but he didn't expect her to reply today, which really surprised him.

"What's wrong with you, sir?" Seeing her brother's stunned appearance, Fran couldn't help but laugh.

This bright smile made Charles's heart suddenly become a lot more cheerful, although I don't know why my sister is so happy today, but this is a scene he is very happy to see.

"Oh, nothing, nothing......" he shook his head. It's just that I feel very comfortable to see you so beautiful today. ”

"You're pretty good at coaxing!" The smile on my sister's face has not changed, but there is something indescribable in it.

It's as if he's scolding Charles, 'If you say I'm beautiful, why don't you take me to heart?'......

Thinking of this, Charles's mood suddenly became gloomy, and the smile on his sister's face seemed to fade slightly.

Hey, let's stop talking.

"Oh, since you're happy, then it's all right." He swallowed his food, "I'll leave later, you can have fun." ”

Really...... Is that really the case? I won't even look good...... Seeing that her brother still reacted like this, although it was all expected, Fran's heart still couldn't help but tingle slightly.

"Wait!" She suddenly stopped Charles, who was about to leave.

"Huh?" Charles stopped. "What's the matter?"

"I have something I want you to help with...... sister whispered.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"You should know, right? It's my birthday in a few days......" Fran said without hesitation, looking at her brother, "I've thought about it for the past two days, and I just want to invite some friends to get together and put it in the teacher's gallery." Then we look at the paintings we left behind in the past and look for memories from the past. ”

"Oh! Oh! That's right! Hearing this, Charles couldn't help but exclaim, and then looked at his sister slightly apologetically, "Ah, I'm so sorry, I actually forgot about this ......"

"You're so busy, you may not even remember your birthday, it's normal that you can't remember me, I won't blame you." Fran's expression was still very calm, as if she was really not angry at all, "Look, can you agree to this matter that I discussed with you?" ”

"Of course, who would object?" Without any hesitation, Charles replied immediately. "But I've been too busy lately to make it...... Well, I'll arrange my schedule and try to come over and entertain you as much as possible, how about it? ”

"No, no, you don't have to delay my business, or I'll be unhappy." Fran immediately shook her head, indicating that she didn't have to be in Charles' attendance.

Although he knew in his heart that it would be beneficial for Charles not to be able to attend at that time, Fran's heart still tingled slightly.

"Actually...... Actually, it won't take long, right? Charles still hesitated, "Actually, I can still squeeze out this bit of space." ”

"It's okay, I can understand you. I know you're very busy, so you don't have to bother yourself. She smiled and replied, "Besides, when so many of us girls get together, we won't be able to speak freely if you say you!" ”

"Oh, okay...... Okay, too. Although she didn't understand why her sister didn't want to let her attend her birthday party, but since she had already expressed such a heart, Charles stopped insisting, "In that case, that's fine...... But, girl, I can't attend, but I'll be sure to choose a birthday present for you, and I'm sure you'll be glamorous when the time comes! ”

"Really? Thank you then, sir. Fran looked up at Charles, as if she was really looking forward to the present, "But you don't need to think too much about it, I'm already glad you have it." ”

"No, it's just making up for my mistakes." Charles smiled and waved his hand, "Anyway, girl, wait a minute!" ”

Then, as if remembering something, Charles offered his opinion again, "However, as for the location...... Why do you have to put it there? Actually, I personally think it's better to do it at home, after all, it's more convenient to entertain guests at home, isn't it? Besides, the studio has been idle for so long, and it's not very clean......"

"Isn't it too restrictive to put it at home? I just want everyone to have a free night, just like they did back then. If we put it at home, with so many servants watching, we would not dare to speak. "It would be nice to be in the studio, where I, Matilda, Mary, Lola, and the others could find a lot to talk about—I think it would make me much happier." ”

Her reasons are quite convincing, but ......

"Lola?" Charles looked at Fran with some confusion, "You invited that Miss de Beauvang too?" ”

"Yes, no matter how I say that she is also my classmate, we still have some friendship." Even at such a critical moment, Fran still appeared to be as calm as ever, and did not show anything unusual, "But, of course, if you don't like her, I can also remove her from the invitation list......"

"How so?" Charles smiled dumbly, "Your own party, you have the right to invite anyone, whether it is Lola or whoever, I will not object." You can do the rest yourself, as long as you have fun - by the way, I'll tell someone to clean it up for you, after all, it's been vacant for so long, it's not good to entertain others if you don't clean it up, right? ”

Quietly, Fran convinces Charles to agree to the fact that she invited Lola to her party - and in turn, makes him inadvertently become one of Lola's witnesses.

"If that's the case, so much the best, thank you, sir." Fran was visibly pleased with Charles's arrangement, "Then I've already told you about this matter, so I don't need to delay your time any longer." ”

Then, she stood up and saluted Charles.

"Don't you have to be so formal?" Charles laughed dumbly.

Then, too, he stood up, then reached out and pinched her face. "Have fun!"

"Goodbye!" Fran smiled and shook Charles' hand.

What a beautiful smile.

Then, in a rare good mood, Charles turned and left the dining room, and left the house in his own carriage.

Fran, on the other hand, sat quietly in her seat and enjoyed her breakfast in peace.

Her expression was calm, and her movements were very free, and she couldn't see any hesitation, and she couldn't feel what she was thinking at this time.

Who can see the turbulent waves in the heart of this young and beautiful girl at this time?

Who can see how many unknown secrets and ulterior deeds are hidden in her seemingly reasonable demands?

Love and passion from the heart, arrogance and arrogance rooted in the bloodline, blindness and ruthlessness hidden deep in the heart, regardless of impulsiveness and reason...... What a terrible reaction and what a terrible deed it produces when these things are mixed together!

As Lola said, since they have already made this step, there should naturally be no more hesitation.

After a peaceful breakfast, she slowly walked back to her room, then picked up a pen and paper.

When writing, her hand holding the pen is very steady, without any ink spots caused by trembling, and the delicate and smooth font does not show any traces of shadows.

"I'm aware of what you brought last time, and thank you very much for your recent efforts.

As you said before, I will be having a birthday party in three days, and I will be inviting many friends to join me in celebrating, and I am honored to have you join us.

If you don't have a letter to object, I'll send you an invitation and make sure you show up.

…… Good luck then. ”

She folded it smoothly and placed it in the envelope.

Even if it's actually an invitation to death.
