As soon as he came to the study and sat down, Charles heard a knock at the door, and he walked to the door and opened it, and then was slightly surprised.

"Miss Dilion? Is there something you can do? ”

Charles was a little surprised that Matilda suddenly broke into the study. Not because she came looking for herself, but because she ran to find herself so quickly.

In such a hurry? Don't even have time to say a few polite words to Fran?

Charles couldn't help but be a little interested, and secretly a little wary.

Yes, be vigilant.

Ever since her last visit, she had vaguely hinted at her suspicion of Charles, and Charles had been secretly wary and wary of the strong and intelligent Matilda, who was only 17 years old, but that was not a reason why he could deal with the granddaughter of the Lord Keeper of the Seals.

He carefully ushered Matilda into the study.

And the other party's expression is still very serious, and the face under the frame looks a little unfathomable.

"What is the matter with you, Miss Delion?" Charles couldn't help but ask again, but his tone was much more serious than before.

"Very well, I am glad to do so, Monsieur Treville," said Matilda, as if pleased with Charles's solemnity at the moment, "at this point you at last see me as 'Miss Delierion' and not as 'some of my sister's little friend.'" This attitude of yours is crucial to what we are going to talk about next......"

Charles was even more surprised.

He had already met with this Miss Delierion a few times, and had even been of great help. So it's a little familiar. But today's Matilda has changed a lot from before—she was very serious, but still steady and gentle; But now she is a little aggressive. It can even be said that I am a little anxious.

Under Matilda's determined gaze, Charles calmly sat back in his seat, and then gestured to the seat next to him for Matilda to sit up as well.

"Looks like you're going to have a good talk with me," Charles' smile in the living room had completely disappeared, "and well, I've got a lot of free time today." Be all ears. ”

Matilda still stared at Charles until she felt she had brewed the atmosphere well enough.

"We all know that your grandfather was once favored by the emperor when he was in the Bonaparte dynasty. The Supreme had rewarded the Marquis of Treville many times......"

"Many have been blessed by him, and some have even more noble surnames than Tréville." Charles replied calmly, not intending to give her room for imagination at all.

Matilda had already been knocking on the side when she came over last time, so this time if she wasn't alert. Reveal a little bit of air, so do you have to go?

"Yes. There are a lot of people. Matilda's expression was still so incomprehensible, "but those men left Napoleon with his defeat and took refuge in the new ruler of France." This was true of the Duke of Dalmatia, and so was the Duke of Valermy...... You see, the present Duke of Valemi is still openly clamoring for the suppression of all Bonaparte's sympathizers. ”

[Duke Valermy refers to François Christophe de Kellermann, an Alsatian native of Saxony, born in 1737. He served in the army very early, and after the Revolution, he served as an officer at all levels. He was elected President of the Senate on 1 August 1801. On May 19, 1804, he was awarded the rank of Marshal of France by Napoleon, and in 1808 he was made Duke of Valemie by Emperor Napoleon. After the fall of Napoleon's empire, he continued to serve the Bourbon family until his death in 1820.

"The present Duke of Valermy" refers to his grandson, Edmond de Kellermann, the third Duke of Valermy, who, after the establishment of the July Dynasty, joined the new dynasty, held a variety of important positions, and was politically very reactionary, so he also had very poor relations with the Bonapartist elements. 】

"Of course, this kind of wild fantasy of his cannot be realized." "Is there any king who can erase the glory that Marengo, Austerlitz, and Jena brought to France?" Impossible. As long as people aspire to a powerful France, it is impossible to break the nostalgia for the Empire, is it also a crime? My grandfather remembered that great era, he fought to the death for the honor of France, he has this qualification, who can say more? ”

Yes, in today's France, the remembrance of the empire and the emperor has become popular again due to repeated domestic and diplomatic missteps, and almost everyone has similar remarks, especially among veterans. The Marquis of Treville, as an old officer, openly expressed his nostalgia for the glory of the empire was too normal for him to be used as evidence of a crime.

If you want people to forget the emperor, the Bourbon dynasty can't do it for fifteen years after the restoration, how can the July Dynasty do it? Therefore, the government has long turned a blind eye to such calls from the people. Not to mention that in order to soothe the opposition, the July Dynasty also consciously downplayed its hostility towards Napoleon - remember, it was the dynasty government that negotiated with the British in 1840 to bring Napoleon's remains back from exile.

Therefore, as long as there is no conclusive evidence that the Marquis of Tréville really participated in the traitorous organization and actually committed the rebellion, the government will not care about him at all, and there is no reason to care about what he says.

For Shire, naturally, the same is true.

Matilda sighed softly.

Charles, on the other hand, looked at each other as if they didn't know anything.

Eventually, Matilda seemed to be unable to hold back.

"Mr. Treville!" Matilda lowered her voice, "I don't think we have much fun playing this guessing game, especially when we all lack time!" ”

"Guessing game?" Charles raised an eyebrow, as if he didn't understand what she was talking about.

"You don't have to dodge, yes, I do suspect that your grandfather, and you, are still supporting the successor of the Bonaparte family, and not just in words." Matilda looked directly at Charles, not letting go of the slightest change in his expression, "But. Rest assured, I don't have the evidence, and I don't want the slightest bit of evidence. If I really want to tell you. I wouldn't have come here alone, not even a small piece of iron, and I wouldn't have waited until now to report it! ”

This kind of negotiation method is too simple and crude!

Is she so sure?

"You must be wondering if I'm so sure, right?" Matilda suddenly dropped her glasses, then took out her handkerchief and gently wiped it.

"Because of intuition."

It wasn't her truth, but she understood what Charles meant.

It is likely that this Miss Dillieon was already very suspicious of being a member of the Bonapartist secret order, but she was not sure of her own level. And for fear of Charles' misunderstanding, she didn't dare to ask directly. So I can only knock on the side like this.

So what if she doesn't go to the whistleblower? Could it be ......

Charles didn't answer her question, didn't give the other party any words, just looked at the other party with his eyes and waited for the following.

"I said it. I am from the Dilièon family, not from this court, and although my grandfather and father are still serving this court, they don't have the privilege of being mixed up with the court after all......"

Even the composure of the Charles. I couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded by Matilda's words.

What a "no honor for that!" ”。 How clever it is that speculation has been whitewashed to such an extent! Charles had some admiration and admiration in his heart.

However, if you want to speculate, then it is easy to say.

"So what exactly is the Diliion family going to do?" Charles finally asked, but still didn't admit anything.

But when he asked the question, Matilda finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the goal is half accomplished.

Since the family of the Minister of the Seals made up their minds to "continue to obey the Central Committee of the Law on the surface, and bet behind the scenes for many years in order to maintain the family power". At this time, the family members are going around to prepare for activities, including liaising with other political groups that may come to power in the future.

As an influential faction. The Bonapartist faction was naturally also considered, and of course everything had to be kept secret, and someone who could be relied on had to test the waters.

Matildas, on the other hand, thought about it for a long time and decided to try to start with the Marquis of Treville. But even she was not sure of the old marquis's status, and even less sure what she could talk to this Monsieur of Tréville. However, as long as you find the right person, it's easy to talk about.

The glasses had been wiped clean, and Matilda put her eyes back on the bridge of her nose.

"I would like to ask you to convey your greetings to someone if you can do so."

"What kind of greeting?" Charles asked with interest, he certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to ask who "someone" was.

Matilda pondered for a long time, but finally made up her mind and said that.

"In life, we should help each other and benefit each other."

The current Dilieon family is still not sure which faction will win the final victory, so they can only win over each faction first, with "mutual assistance and mutual benefit" as the main axis, as in the past.

After saying that, Matilda took another deep breath and said another word.

"Mr. Treville, you are a very smart man, so you will not fail to understand what I mean, let alone the importance of this sentence, so you must also know the importance of secrecy."

Everyone said it so thoroughly, and Charles didn't need to pretend to be unaware anymore, he nodded slightly.

"Haode, I see."

A smile finally appeared on Matilda Haode's face.

Another important step has been completed, and it is likely that the power of the House of Dillion will soon receive a new guarantee.

Yes, she will never forget the phrase "one day you will fall at my feet", and she clearly understands that as long as the power and glory of the Diliion family are gone, then Lola will definitely have countless ways to fulfill her promise, and she has enough memory and cruelty to fulfill this promise.

No, the power of the Dilieon family will always be retained, and its glory will never fade, you wait and see! It will be you who fall to your knees and beg for forgiveness!

Suppressing the anger that was rolling in her heart, she secretly clenched her fists. (To be continued......)
