The woman opposite her remained motionless as Charles bowed down, and just when Albert thought she might be angry, she suddenly raised her head and burst out laughing. ［

"Huh, hahaha...... You still remember what I said, and you're still a good boy! ”

Although this laughter is a bit unconventional, it is indeed very beautiful, and it also makes the tense and solemn atmosphere just now disappear.

Then, she slowly walked up to Charles again.

"You've grown a lot taller."

Although she was standing on a higher step, she soon saw that the two of them were still about the same height, so she nodded with satisfaction, "I just don't know if my brain and size have grown together?" ”

"I think it's still long." Charles looked up and replied with a smile.

"Really? I didn't see it," said my aunt's smile, with a hint of sarcasm, "and I almost got shot to death at night when I ran to a place where I didn't know what was going on...... Is this your head? ”

"It's because I heard from you, and I had to come to meet you, even if I had to take some risks to do so." Charles looked at her sincerely, "It turns out that I did nothing wrong and I don't need to regret it. ”

"Aha...... It's really a brain," she suddenly stretched out and grabbed Charles's head again, "I've learned how to coax women!" It seems that there should be a lot of prodigal over the years, right? ”

"This ...... Where does this begin? No kidding, okay? Because Albert and the others were watching, Charles felt slightly embarrassed. I couldn't help but sigh. "You haven't changed after all these years......

"Why change?" Agnes was still smiling, "Isn't that great?" ”

"But I've grown up, I'm not a child anymore. Not boasting. Now I'm a character...... You can't always be like this in front of everyone......" Charles grumbled under his breath.

Suddenly, he finally understood why he was in such a hurry—he wanted to go up to the other person and tell her what he had accomplished, how much he had grown.

What a childish move.

After thinking about this, even he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

"I know this, I'll know it as soon as I return home, you're already a big man." Agnes easily withdrew her hand. "But even so, aren't you Charles?"

"This ......" Charles didn't know what to say for a moment, and finally he could only sigh helplessly. Well, whatever you want. ”

It seems that it is indeed exactly the same as back then......

"I didn't expect you to come over by yourself and be in a place like this!" Agnes looked at Charles carefully. It's like complaining. "You scared me out of the way, I'm going to sleep."

"The person who was surprised should be me, you ran out without a sound back then, and you didn't even say a word to me when you returned home." Charles immediately retorted, "Why do you want to do that? To be honest, I still don't understand anything, can you be kind enough to tell me? Is there something wrong with me? ”

"Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't understand?" Agnes replied with a smile, as if trying to avoid something, but only under Charles's constant gaze. She finally got a little serious. "Well, don't worry. I'm not unhappy with you, I'm going to come back to you when it's done......"

"Things done? What's the matter? Charles asked.

"Well......" Agnes suddenly clenched the handle of the umbrella, then shook her head slightly, "I can't tell you." ”

The two men looked at each other for a few more moments, and finally Charles was defeated and lowered his gaze.

"Okay, okay, this doesn't matter, of course you have your own freedom of movement, and I also bless you with a qiē shun lì. However, after this time the matter is done, it shouldn't disappear quietly for another ten years, right? ”

"Hmm...... No, it won't. The smile on Agnes' face slowly faded, she raised her head slightly, stared at the moonlight in the sky, and her expression had a strange strictness, "The obligation that must be fulfilled is about to be completed...... Until then, I will be able to go back to my old life......"

Although she didn't understand what the "obligations that must be fulfilled" were, Charles still felt the courage in her tone and the unquestionable determination.

It was also driven by this determination that she ran out of the country quietly.

And what Charles admires and admires most about this aunt is precisely this determination and courage that is not inferior to that of men. From childhood to adulthood, as long as she says what she wants to do, then she will definitely do it, and no matter how much trouble she encounters, she will never back down and give up.

In that case, there is no need to ask any more questions, just wait for her to finish her own business.

"You're not going to let us stand in this place all night, are you?" Charles smiled and asked, "Can't you just let us in and entertain us?" ”

"Hospitality? Oh, of course. Agnes raised an eyebrow, then suddenly laughed again, "But Charles, are you ready?" ”

"Ready?" Charles was a little confused.

"What? Have you forgotten what I taught you back then? That's not going to work. After all these years, I'd like to see if you've improved. Agnes' smile had some heart-stopping meaning in it, "Charles, if you let me down, you'll probably cry a lot." ”

This kind of malicious smile made Charles instantly feel like he was back in the past.

At that time, she was wearing such a smile and letting herself suffer enough.

Yes, that's it, that's it since childhood! This Duchess is not only admirable about will.

The blood in his body seemed to flow several times faster, and his body was filled with an indescribable feeling.

Maybe I ran here so excitedly, just for such a moment?

"Then you'd be wrong. I've improved over the years and I'm getting stronger all the time. He looked directly at the other person, his eyes full of challenge. I was the third best in school. ”

"I really don't know what the third has to brag about, but I'm very cold......" Agnes still sneered, and then jumped down the last step, "The child I taught so patiently can only get the third ...... I've changed my mind, it's not possible for you to wait. Instead, they will definitely cry a lot! ”

Albert, who had been standing next to him, felt inexplicable when he saw that the narrative between his relatives had suddenly turned into such a strange verbal exchange.

"Charles. What's going on? He hurried to Charles's side as well.

There was silence.

"Aren't you strange, my friend? Why I like to use a rappier. Half an hour later, Charles looked at his aunt and said to Albert without looking back.

"Huh?"

Albert hesitated slightly. Then he nodded. "Speaking of this, I'm really weird, after all, no one specially taught you this, how to use it so well."

Charles excelled in the school's sword class, finishing third in the school, while his good friend Albert de Fouay Grassy was second in the school at the time. The two of them don't know how many times they fought each other.

What made Albert very strange was that it was clear that the swordsmanship teachers in the school were mainly biased towards the teaching of epee. But Charles seemed to be more proficient and more fond of the rapier - knowing that there were many differences between the two swords, and it would take a lot of hard work to use them well.

At the time, he thought it was taught by Charles's own family—after all, the use of the sword had been a centuries-old custom in aristocratic families. Even if the Tréville family had any family swordsmanship, it was normal, and his own family was like that.

However...... He finally got an answer today.

Because, right in front of him, the slender, white hands moved to the tip of the umbrella handle, and then, with a slight movement, the movement was almost impossible to see. Then, a metallic ray of water rippled across his eyes, and the lady in front of him, with a thin sword, looked at her nephew with a smile. And that umbrella has been thrown aside.

It turns out that there is a sword hidden in the handle of this umbrella, no wonder it was taken out at this time - in other words, Charles likes to use a thin sword, which must have been taught by the duchess in front of him.

It's hard to believe, but it looks like it's true.

"Charles, shouldn't you be a little more nervous? If I thought about it just now, you're dead......"

The blades faithfully reflected the silver moonlight, almost blinding. These cold lights also make this relaxed and pleasant smile more cold. "But you have to say it first...... Even if it's a nephew, I won't be merciful once I do it! ”

In the moonlight, she stared at Charles intensely, and although she didn't make any other movements, it felt as if she was about to pounce. The moonlight made her face appear white and translucent, and her own person was as sharp as an unsheathed sword, which made Albert shudder slightly.

It was really played, and it was really powerful - as someone who had used his sword for many years and dueled several times, he made a judgment in his heart.

No wonder the skirt is only up to the feet, it turns out that it is convenient to use the sword.

Wait, it's still not right, why do two relatives use swords to communicate as soon as they meet!

"Albert, bear witness to us." Charles picked up his cane with a very calm expression, "She bullied me so many times when I was young, and I should get something in return today......

"You ......" Albert was about to say something, but finally gave up.

Forget it, after all, it's a family, and it's strange not to be strange. "Okay...... All right...... Have fun. ”

He said as he stepped back.

In the clearing below the steps, only Charles and Agnes were left.

Like witnesses, he and the man who had escorted them over just now stood in the distance, looking at the two facing each other from a distance, and a duel-like atmosphere permeated the two men, making it almost impossible to remember that they should have been considered close relatives.

Could it be that in the past, this young lady taught Charles the same way? A thought flashed through Albert's mind, and then he couldn't help but imagine what Charles was like...... Never mind. Let's give a friend a little face.

At this moment, Charles had already ignored others, and only the teacher and opponent in front of him were in his eyes.

And she didn't seem to feel the pressure at all, she was still so elegant and beautiful in the moonlight. It's as relaxing as if you're walking in the woods.

You'll regret it.

Charles gently drew his rapier from his staff, then tossed it aside.

Unlike when they were children, they were fighting with real weapons, which was of course very dangerous, but Charles was incredibly unconcerned about the safety of the two of them.

Neither of us would stab each other—that's what he believed.

The two men drew their swords and looked at each other from a distance of a few steps.

"Are you ready, Charles?" Agnes asked calmly.

"Hmm. You ready. Charles replied.

Agnes raised her left hand and made a gentle gesture.

"Let's go!" Albert and the other shouted at the same time.

As if I had heard the gun, as soon as I heard the words. Charles rushed forward with his sword, stabbing him in the ribs.

Although it seems to be brave and unstrategic, this is the strategy that Charles has thought of from the beginning - in terms of the skill and pace of the rapette, he thinks that there is no way to defeat the "teacher". But he also knows adult men and women. There is a huge gap in strength, so he plans to use a close-up strategy and try to wear down his opponent's strength with hand-to-hand grappling.

Looking at the blow that Charr stabbed straight through, the smile on Agnes's face still didn't change, flashed slightly to the side, and then the sword in his hand slashed towards Charles's abdomen.

Charles quickly redirected his sword, parrying the blow, and then slashed down the blade. was held down by Agnes' backhand, and then retreated.

When the two swords intersected, there was a crisp intersonance.

Charles, of course, won't let the other party get out of the way. Continue to raise the sword and stab it, and be sure to defeat the opponent by grappling.

Agnes kept blocking Charles's powerful attacks with skillful pace and skillful swordsmanship, and although Charles's attacks were fierce, her expression did not show any uneasiness, as if she was fully engaged in it.

As the blades of the swords kept colliding, the sound of clanging was endless, like a piece of music that was constantly playing.

In the moonlight, the sword skills of women in skirts like dancing steps are dazzling.

However, Charles did not have the spirit to appreciate such a dance, and now he was in a disadvantageous situation - because he used the method of constantly attacking, but instead of crushing the opponent, he used up a lot of energy.

The skills were indeed outstanding, and he had to sigh in his heart - even the swordsmanship teachers in the school back then might not be able to dodge the attacks he was so involved in.

To salvage the situation, he had to rein in his attack, slowing his pace and trying to retreat slightly in order to earn a breather.

"Is that all there is to it?" His aunt's sneer fell into his ears, and then a rippling sword light slashed at his neck. After Charg blocked it, the rapier suddenly stabbed into the abdomen again.

Charles hurriedly parried and stepped back, knowing that he was now in Agnes' rhythm.

This kind of left-and-right block, and then unable to resist Agnes's attack.

Finally, Charles was able to parry a sword that stabbed him in the ribs, and then the sword suddenly slashed down his blade, threatening to slash his right hand.

Now is the time!

However, Charles only felt an indescribable joy at the moment.

He sank his sword with all his might, and then wrestled it with all his might.

Such a heavy momentum was difficult for Agnes to control, and in an instant, both swords slammed down.

Then, Charles leaned forward and swung his palm at Agnes' neck, striking him hard into Agnes' neck.

Although this method of warfare is almost a scoundrel, turning the competition into a street fight, and completely lacking the "elegance of the noble sword", Charles can no longer manage so much at this time, and he doesn't care about the so-called elegance at all for a victory that has never been obtained.

Under Agnes' slightly surprised gaze, Charles' palms mercilessly slashed towards her slender white neck, getting closer and closer......

It's just one thing to lose...... Charles's heart was filled with indescribable ecstasy.

However, just as his palm was about to hit Agnes, a scene that made everyone unbelievable was born.

Agnes lowered her sword, then suddenly leaned back.

Charles's inevitable blow was struck.

Then, before he could retract his posture, Agnes, who was still leaning back, lifted one of her feet.

Charles didn't have time to applaud the difficult movements in this dance, almost to the extent that Charles couldn't see clearly, and Agnes kicked Charles in the stomach hard.

With a "poof", even Albert, who was standing in the distance, frowned, imagining how his friend would suffer.

Such a blow made Charles almost lose his strength in pain, and he felt as if his throat was suddenly blocked by something, and he lowered his head and just wanted to vomit.

Then, having regained her balance, Agnes stood at his side. Then he saw the oncoming white light.

However, it was too late for him to dodge.

The white socks were getting closer and closer to his head......

"Bang!" Almost a perfect shot.

That's a little bit worse...... Hateful...... That's just a little bit worse!

In the last moments before he was dizzy, Charles could only think of this thought.

"As I said, you're going to cry a lot...... Hahahaha! ”

Under the accompaniment of these words and laughter, Charles, who had been hit hard in the brain, fell into a coma. (To be continued!)
