After seeing off Mr. de Trevo, Charles had planned to take a break, but he didn't have long before the secretary knocked on the door of his office.

However, although he was not very happy in his heart, since the secretary was the duty, he couldn't say anything.

"What's the matter?"

"A gentleman has asked to see you." The secretary replied respectfully.

"Huh? Who? ”

"It's a young man, sir." The secretary lowered his voice, "He claims to have come to you on the orders of Monsieur de Treville - that is, the colonel of the National Guard, Monsieur de Treville. ”

Charles didn't react at first, but it took a moment to figure it out - wasn't this his cousin and future father-in-law?

"Call him over at once, I can see him."

Since it was someone he sent, there was naturally no need to wait.

However, when he agreed to receive him, Charles suddenly had a strange and slightly ominous premonition in his heart, but he couldn't tell why.

This strange premonition turned into reality a few minutes later.

"Is that your ......?"

When Charles saw who it was, he couldn't help but exclaim.

Ezreal Walter, who was standing across from him, was at ease.

"It's me, Monsieur de Treville." He nodded respectfully at the Charles, and then replied in a low voice, "I have come to deliver a message to you on the orders of the Chief. ”

Charles stared at the other with a frown, not answering.

In fact, he didn't know exactly what to say.

Although before because he took the initiative to approach Fran. Charles had said cruel things like "Don't let me see you again", but that time had changed.

Not so long ago. He learned that the young man was the illegitimate son of his father and Princess Kadiyan. is his own half-brother, so naturally he can't shout and kill anymore.

However, since they had never lived together, he didn't have a good impression of each other, let alone brotherhood, so he didn't want to see him - to be honest, he himself had a lot of thoughts about what to do with each other.

Neither wanting to recognize him nor disposing of him, Charles simply left him alone. Let his cousin's family come and communicate with him.

And today, this man walked in front of him on his own.

In addition to being surprised and at a loss, Charles couldn't help but feel a trace of resentment in his heart towards his uncle, who was always very arrogant—why are you so unsophisticated, and you have to send this person to me?

"Please don't blame the sir, I applied to come and see you myself, sir." As if reading what Charles was thinking, Ezreal Walter spoke leisurely, "He was against it at first, but then I insisted. So he had no choice but to agree. ”

"Oh, is that so?" Charles frowned slightly, then regained his usual composure after a moment, "So." Mr. Walter, you have been ordered to come to me, what is the matter? ”

Where the Shire can't see. Ezreal's fists clenched, and his heart throbbed slightly.

The other party's salutation and attitude. It's clear that he wants to keep his distance from himself. The first time we met, I was unaware, but this time it was intentional.

This "elder brother". I really have no feelings for myself, and I don't even bother to hide it.

That's fine, who cares! Maybe it was anger, maybe it was to show determination, and the young man replied loudly in his heart.

"The commander has told me to tell you that he has found some people in his and his colleagues' Self-Defense Forces who are willing to serve Mr. President, and you can use them at any time if you can use them." In order to confront his brother, he also put on a stern and indifferent look, and his tone was very stiff, "I was ordered to hand over the list to you. ”

"Oh, okay, bring it." Charles nodded.

Although the National Guard is a militia and not a regular army after all, to be honest, it is not particularly helpful to Charles, but now is the time to employ people, and there is no need to care so much, Charles had asked his cousin to find some manpower for him before, but he didn't expect the other party's efficiency to be really high, and he replied so quickly.

Ezreal walked over, then took a list out of his pocket and handed it to Charles, who reached out and took it, and their hands did not touch.

Charles picked up the list and took a cursory look at it.

"Tell me, what else is going on with you? You're not here just to hand me a piece of paper, are you? ”

As he watched, he asked casually.

"By the way, let's see how majestic you are now, can't you?" Ezreal replied with a sneer, "I really saw it, and it was indeed the promising Monsieur Charles de Treville." ”

Hearing this answer, Charles looked up and looked at the other man with great dissatisfaction.

This tone is somewhat harsh, and can even be said to have a somewhat provocative meaning.

If ordinary people say this, Charles will hide his dissatisfaction in his heart, but for some reason, he has an irrepressible anger at Ezreal's expression.

"I'm a little better than you, friend." He replied coldly, "But you don't have to be envious, I grabbed all this qiē by myself, if you have the ability, you can also try." ”

Although Charles had no intention of recognizing the "younger brother", as if subconsciously, he addressed Ezreal with the usual "you" from his elders to his juniors, rather than the "you" with respect and distancing himself, which he did not notice himself.

"Well, don't worry, I don't have such plans." Ezreal replied without fear.

The two men looked at each other like this.

"You have no respect for me, sir." After a while, Charles said word for word, "However, many people don't respect me, and I don't care much about that. However, please remember that you are in this person's office and are wasting this person's precious time. And this man's time is a hundred times more precious than that of a man like you! ”

Just as Charles was about to have someone blast him out, Ezreal's expression finally softened.

"I came here for my mom to ask. She wanted to ask......" His face twitched suddenly, as if wondering what to say. "Excuse me, how is that person doing now. That day, when others were chasing and killing, it was as if you had rescued him. ”

"Him?" Charles certainly understood who this meant, and he replied coldly, "I don't know what happened to him, I've already beaten him away, I've already saved him once, and it doesn't matter to me what happens to him next." Also, don't ask me about it again. I don't want to mention it again! ”

Although his tone was the strongest, the answer won Ezreal's favor.

"You're the only thing you can do to my liking." He said with a slight ease.

"Really? I didn't mean to. Charles shrugged, "So, where is Princess Cardion's now?" ”

"She's gone to Paris, and she has nothing left to be nostalgic about." Ezreal sighed, "She's just worried about the person, who hasn't contacted her all along. ”

"It's really infatuated." Charles laughed a little sarcastically. "I don't think there's anything to be attached to that person."

"I don't understand her attachment to that person either, but ......," Ezreal looked at Charles coldly, "if you dare to mention her in that tone again." Then I'll fight with you. ”

Growing up, this illegitimate child was only secretly cared for by his mother, so he was full of affection for the princess and would never allow anyone to slander her.

"Okay. I was wrong. Because he felt wrong, Charles quickly admitted his mistake.

After the two young men talked about topics related to their respective coincidences, they were unconscious. They don't have the tense atmosphere they had just now.

"So, what are you going to do now?" Charles looked at Ezreal. "You don't plan to hang your son like this, do you?"

Unconsciously, he brought with him some of the superiority of the elders over the juniors who were not successful.

Ezreal felt uncomfortable with this tone.

"I have my own plans for this."

"Oh? Have your own plans? Does that mean there is no plan at all? Charles smiled slightly mockingly. I inquired, the property of the Kadiyang family has been trusted, even the princess herself has no way to pass it on to you privately, if you continue to be like this, what should you do in the future? Are you going to live like this? ”

That's right, although he is the son of Princess Kadiyan, Ezreal, as an illegitimate child, has no way to inherit the princess's property.

In Europe at this time, the financial industry has been very developed, and trust property has become popular in many countries in Western Europe. Many aristocrats and bourgeoisie have entrusted their family's assets to banks or other financial institutions as trusts, and let the family members receive the proceeds.

The same is true of the Kadiyan family, who had already entrusted all of the family's property before the death of the previous prince, and the princess and his widow could only receive the annual income from it, but had no right to use the principal. Since the two of them did not have children out of wedlock, the trust would pass to other eligible clans of the Cadion family after the death of the princess, and Ezreal Walter would not be able to benefit from it, but could only receive the wealth she had accumulated from his mother.

It is precisely because she is worried that her son will not be found after her death that Princess Kadion is so anxious to seek a future for her son, and is even willing to pull down her face to plead with Charles's cousin. And after feeling his mother's feelings, in order to make his mother feel at ease and happy, Ezreal forced himself to take up these boring positions in the self-defense army, no matter how uninterested he was.

"Even so, I'm not going to ask you for anything, sir."

Although he was a little dissatisfied with Charles's condescending tone and attitude, Ezreal had to admit that he was right. At the same time, that feeling from his heart made it difficult for him to bow to Charles.

"Even if you beg me, I won't give you anything, sir." Charles looked at the other party coldly, "However, you also know that I am in great need of help right now, and if you can help me, I don't mind giving you a reward." ”

"What do you mean?" Ezreal asked rhetorically.

"Go to the army, if you join the army now, with my current ability, although it will not be able to make you rise to the top at will, but at least it can protect your future in the next few years," Charles's tone was very flat, but there was always some unconsciously added some arrogant elements, "Although you are a little older now, and you joined the army halfway, I can let you eliminate these difficulties and become an upright person in society." ”

"But I didn't want to be a high-class person, sir, and I'm just an illegitimate child who can't see the light." As if laughing at himself and looking at himself, Ezreal replied in a loud voice, "So, I can only thank you for your kindness, and I will continue to serve in the Self-Defense Army to help your cousin's family." ”

"Okay...... That's up to you, too. Their family has always been very generous, and they will not treat you badly. Charles nodded, "That's good, you can do more things for me in the future, and I can guarantee you to a good government office in the future." ”

"Yes, sir." Ezreal bowed his head.

If it weren't for the fact that he could get close to Charles and fulfill his promise to Charlotte, he wouldn't want to accept any favors from him. (To be continued!)
