After talking to the Marquise for a while, Charles fell into a strange feeling, as if he had no interest in entangling with the family any longer. Then, seeing that the time was almost exhausted, he went straight to his master to take his leave.

The Marquis did not make any reservations, and said goodbye to him politely and coldly. Although his modesty had made the Marquis's family feel that he was not bad, the final expression still left them with the impression of "no one in sight" - of course, Charles did not particularly care about this.

Albert, however, was equally amazed by his appearance.

On the way out of the two of them, Albert looked at Charles, who had been silent and seemed to have a lot on his mind, and couldn't help but ask. "Charles, why did you lose your temper like that just now, did you give birth to something?"

"Ah, nothing." Charles replied in a low voice.

…… Seeing Charles' expression, Albert had no choice but to put his doubts back to his heart and continue to follow Charles, who did not say a word.

Recently, the weather has been relatively clear, so at night the moonlight is very bright, and the road is bright. Led by the servant, Charles and Albert walked to the stable, and the servant called the coachman, who had been resting.

"Sir, are you going back?" The coachman asked Charles as he re-mounted his horse. It was a horse-drawn carriage they had temporarily rented from a local car dealer, and the driver was also hired by a local.

"No, we're going somewhere else." Charles, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, and his tone was unexpectedly stern. "A few miles to the southwest, is there a small estate called Zeg? If so, take us there. I have a little bit of a business. ”

"Sir, I know that!" When the driver heard this, he shouted, "It's not very far from here, I'll give you a ride right away." ”

"Okay, thanks." Charles nodded.

Then the carriage began to run again, and the two young men in the carriage looked quietly out the window. No one spoke for a while, only the sound of horses' hooves echoed in the woods on both sides. The moonlight outside the window was so bright that almost the entire ground was dyed with a layer of silvery white. As the carriage moved along, the entire countryside was reflected in the eyes of the two men. If they're just for fun, it's a great experience.

"I've been in Paris for a long time and haven't seen this kind of countryside for a long time. It's nice to watch it once in a while. Albert burst out laughing. But, Charles, can you sue me? Why are we going to that place? ”

"To see someone." After a moment of silence, Charles replied calmly, "If luck is the right thing we get, the information we got is accurate. ”

"See someone? Who is it? Your relatives? Albert asked, somewhat confused, "If I'm not mistaken, the de Nordlien family, it seems...... Looks like your mother's last name, right? ”

Charles was silent again.

"Okay. If you don't want to answer, that's fine...... Anyway, I guess I'll be able to see it then. Albert sighed softly. However, I am afraid that we go to visit people late at night, right? Why don't you visit again in earnest tomorrow? ”

He didn't expect that after he asked such a question, Charles suddenly let out a long sigh.

"My friend, I know it's not appropriate...... But I had to. ”

"Huh?"

Charles turned his gaze back from the window, staring at his friend.

"I don't know if it's true, I don't know if she's still around, I don't even know if I'm looking for the wrong person. But...... I had to run over and take a look, and even if there was little hope, I wanted to make sure it wasn't her. ”

"She?" Albert was keen on the key words.

"That's right, it's her." Charles's expression was very calm, "The person I want to find is the youngest daughter of the previous Duke of Nordlien, Miss Agnes de Nordlien, oh no, I don't even know if she has this last name now, so let's call it that." ”

"Your aunt?" Albert reacted immediately, "Your mother's sister? ”

"That's right." Charles nodded dryly.

"Aren't you usually not associated with your grandfather's family?" Albert was even more curious, "At least I don't remember you ever doing that. ”

"Yes, that's right." Charles smiled wryly, "But she's an exception...... When I was a child, my grandfather's family was not very close to us, and we basically didn't get along, but this aunt was an exception, and she often came to see me...... That's why I'm pretty close to her. ”

"I understand now," Albert finally gave a look of understanding, "but...... Even so, you don't have to be in such a hurry to run over overnight, right? If you can't disturb other people's rest, wouldn't it be good for us to visit together tomorrow? ”

"No...... You don't understand at all. Charles let out a long sigh, "I said, I'm not sure it's her at all, I just heard an uncertain message and ran over...... God doesn't know how upset I am at the moment. ”

"Huh?" Albert didn't say anything more, just looked at Charles with some concern, as if to make sure his friend didn't burn.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm like this because ......," Charles sighed again, "She disappeared ten years ago, and I never heard from her again. ”

"Gone?" Although Charles was still an understatement, Albert was taken aback again. "A Duchess miss, missing?"

"Yes, that's it." Charles shrugged, "You can relate to my mood now, right?" ”

"Charles, what are you ......," Albert didn't know what to say, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?" ”

"How do I know? I hope I'm not mistaken......" Charles smiled wryly, "At least, I haven't heard that my grandfather has another daughter." ”

After receiving Charles's explanation, Albert didn't ask any more questions, and the two of them regained their silence and followed the carriage all the way.

Charles's eyes were looking out the window, and although his ears were full of echoes of the carriage moving forward, he turned a deaf ear.

It was a night like today, right?

…………………………

With a full moon hanging high in the sky, and the ground was covered with moonlight like mercury, a teenager stood in the corner of the courtyard, looking up at the woman opposite.

Although the young man was still too thin, the expression on his pale face was very calm, even close to indifference, making the whole person seem to be much older than his original age.

The woman across from him was already an adult, and looked slender, almost a head taller than him. She wore a brown pleated dress, her face was fair and beautiful, and her neck was very elongated. Because of the smile on his face, even his eyes were half-narrowed, and his brown head was dyed a strange bright color in the moonlight.

"Charles, congratulations, you're going to middle school, right? I'm about to become an adult......" After a calm look at each other, she reached out and wiped Charles' head. "I'm going to study hard there in the future, don't lose the face of the Treyville family."

"Thank you for your concern." The young man nodded, but there was still some unappreciative expression in his expression, "Besides, I'm an adult now, miss." ”

His stern expression made the woman opposite laugh. Then he grabbed his head and grabbed him heavily.

"Hahahaha, you're the most annoying thing! What do thirteen or fourteen-year-olds pretend to be adults? ”

Because his head was scratched so painfully, the boy couldn't help but close his eyes.

"I told you not to do this!" He couldn't help but shout, "Don't you know that it hurts? ”

"Really?" Although she still asked, the strength in her hand did not relax. It wasn't until a long time later that she let go of her hand.

"So, you came here today just to get my head?" The boy looked up at each other. Because he was treated like this just now, he was still a little impatient. "My dear aunt?"

The woman on the other side was still smiling, so her eyes were still half-squinted, but the cold light in her eyes made the young man dare not make any more mistakes. "Call me Agnes, don't call me aunt or anything, I'm just a dozen years older than you."

"But the older teenagers are already a lot older......" The young man muttered in a low voice, but he still didn't dare to say it out loud under the cold light, "Well, Agnes, what the hell are you looking for me?" ”

The hand on top of his head let go, and she took a step back, then looked at the boy again.

In this short gap, the young man's expression was very strict, and his eyes were all open, and the sparkling look inside made people almost dare not look at each other.

"I'm not coming back anytime soon." Her tone was calm and stern, "I'm going to leave this country for a while, take care of myself, Charles." ”

"Huh?" Because it was so unexpected, the teenager almost forgot about the surprise.

After a few moments, he understood what the other party meant. "Why? Where are you going? Is it going on a trip? ”

"Travel? Oh, maybe......" The woman laughed again, but this smile was completely different from the smile she had just had, and she couldn't feel the temperature at all. Then, she added in a low voice, "I have obligations that must be fulfilled." ”

"And when are you coming back?" The young man who didn't hear the latter sentence clearly asked again, obviously his feelings for the other party were not as annoying as he was, "Will it take a long time?" ”

"Hmm...... I don't know. She shook her head slightly, "Maybe soon, maybe for a long time, who knows?" Life is always full of accidents. ”

"Oh, good luck then." After understanding that the other party's will could not be changed, the boy nodded.

"Well, good luck too! Poor kid! She sighed.

Then, she leaned down slightly and kissed the boy on the forehead. "May God bless you." (To be continued!)
