Chapter 149: The Guardian

Just as Charles was leaving the Sartori parade ground with His Excellency the President and returning to the capital, his sister was also leaving the theater.

It's not time for the theater to end, so there aren't many people in the passages inside and outside the theater right now. Fran slowly walked out of the passage, and the beautiful singing behind her did not make her hesitate for a moment.

Like most of the ladies of your family who go in and out of the theater, she is also dressed up tonight. Because it was winter, she was wearing a white robe, looking solemn and charming as a young woman. She wears a string of pearl necklaces on her slender neck, the soft light sets off the neck and collarbone more and more white, her earlobes are also wearing delicate earrings inlaid with small sapphires, and she also wears a fashionable white hat with feather ornaments on her head, and with the still brilliant blonde hair, the whole person looks even more bejeweled, which is completely different from the simple appearance of ordinary days.

Relying on this beautiful and elegant dress, as well as her own beauty, when she watched the performance just now, she unsurprisingly became the focus of attention again.

However, it didn't take long for Fran to get out of the box of the theater, and the maid behind her, though she didn't know why, could only follow behind.

After descending the steps of the theater, Fran did not walk directly to the carriage that was parked not far away, but stopped there, looking left and right, as if waiting for something.

It was a little cold outside, and the cold wind kept blowing on her delicate face, making her face feel a little painful, but she didn't realize it, just kept looking at it.

The young lady of the Tréville family is naturally not afraid of such a little difficulty.

This is a great opportunity for her.

Although Fran could clearly feel her former friend watching her openly and secretly recently, she had recently broken her appearance, and as a woman who valued normality, she would never go out and show her face until the scars on her face healed, which gave Fran a golden opportunity, a time period to be free to move.

Although there are still servants following when they go out, who dares to be disrespectful to the eldest lady so that they ask questions?

However, reality wasn't always as smooth as expected, and as time passed, Fran's heart began to feel a little anxious.

It's time to end, and he'll be in trouble if he doesn't come back. Why the hell, and why hasn't it appeared yet?

"I'm really sorry to keep you waiting."

Just as Fran was about to leave, a not-so-loud voice came from not far away. The voice sounded very young, full of the passion that is characteristic of young people, and a hint of cynicism that defies a qiē.

It's finally here...... Fran breathed a sigh of relief at hearing this, and then turned her head away.

Behind a colonnade, she spotted the young man.

That young man was Ezreal Walter, who had visited Fran uninvited, and who had since offered to say that he would not see him again.

And this time, it wasn't he who broke his promise, it was Fran who asked him out.

"You're finally here?" Fran immediately greeted the young man with a smile on his face. "I wanted to leave, but luckily I waited a few more minutes."

Although she seemed to be slightly reproaching the other party for being late, her tone was very kind and friendly, as gentle as ever, and people couldn't help but feel good.

"Ah, I'm sorry, miss, but I was just impressed by your beauty, so I just looked at you a little more." Ezreal-Walter stooped down towards Fran seemingly respectfully.

Then, seeing that Fran was still looking at him, he smiled again, "Well, I'm joking, miss, I got the news from you and rushed here, but it took me some time to find you when I got here—I'm sorry, I don't usually come to this kind of place......"

Although he clearly understood that he was dealing with the young lady of the Trevills, he seemed to have only affection, not the kind of respect that he had to be condescending.

The reason for this is not incomprehensible. It's just that Fran doesn't know about it yet.

Then, neither of them spoke, and the young man kept a close eye on Fran.

"I really didn't expect it...... We were able to meet again, and ......" After a long period of reflection, Ezreal-Walter finally sighed, as if he were very moved by their reunion, "and it was you who came to me......"

Fran's heart sank slightly, slightly dissatisfied with the fact that this person suddenly used the overly affectionate title "you", but she was still very calm on the surface, looking up at the other person as innocent as usual. "Sir...... I'm really sorry that I broke the agreement between us, and if you think I'm disturbing you, or causing you any inconvenience, I'm ...... I immediately took my leave. ”

"No, no! How so? On the contrary, I am very happy. Perhaps because of Fran's hint, Ezreal changed her name back, "I'm glad to think that I have something in your eyes that deserves to be revisited." Ay...... I'm a person, I just like to joke, sometimes I say something inappropriate, you must forgive me, don't be angry. ”

"It's okay, sir, I'm rarely mad at anyone else." Fran still had that gentle smile on her face, as if she could tolerate it, "I'm just afraid that something will happen to you, so I've been worrying about you." ”

"Don't worry, although people like me don't care much, their safety can still be guaranteed." Ezreal Walter waved his hand, "It's you, you should take care of yourself, it's not a good thing for you to ask someone out in private, and then run here to get cold." ”

After hearing this, the smile on Fran's face stiffened slightly, and then slowly turned into a bitter smile.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to disturb you, sir. But if there was any other way, I wouldn't have called you over like that...... I really can't help it......"

Then, her face showed that kind of crying, "I'm afraid you don't believe it, I'm in an unbearable situation now, I look glamorous, but I have to be accompanied by pain and fear every day, even if you want to find someone who can talk to your heart...... I thought for a long time among the people I knew to find someone who could listen to me, and it turned out to be ...... As a result, I can't find one but you, and who would believe it? How pathetic I am now! ”

After hearing Fran's somewhat sad confession, Ezreal's eyes widened and widened, and there was no longer the lightness and casualness of just now.

The richly dressed girl in front of her looked very sad indeed, her face was pale and painful, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and a kind of despair and overwhelm, like a lamb that had been sacrificed to the altar.

After being in her current position, she is still unhappy? Why? He was still a little incredulous.

"Can you tell me more about it? What's going on? Ezreal's breathing was a little short, and his expression became a little terrifying.

This person's reaction was too violent, right? I feel too much concern. Fran thought to herself, indicating that Shang continued to maintain that dazed and bewildered look.

Don't...... I haven't met a few times, but he's actually in love with me?

Fran inadvertently glanced at the other party, and after seeing the handsome but somewhat distorted face because of the hurry, a heartfelt disgust and disgust could not help but arise.

Forget it, I still need him.

Thinking of this, Fran forcibly suppressed the disgust in her heart, "Maybe I am exaggerating, but please believe me, now I am really in a dangerous situation, and I only feel that I am facing a very terrible fate......"

"So, what the hell is going on!" Ezreal's expression was very solemn, and even his voice raised a lot. "Excuse me, please? Who is putting you in danger? ”

Under his anxious gaze, Fran fell silent, as if she didn't know how to speak.

It wasn't until a long time later that she looked up again and said hesitantly. "What's the point of concealing it now? Well, I tell you, please don't spread the word......"

"I will." Ezreal nodded.

"This is the ...... It's hard to say......" Fran hesitated, and finally sighed, "My close friend Mary, she ...... betrayed my trust and took advantage of me after I walked into our house, she ...... She tried her best to seduce my brother......"

Ezreal was stunned by the sudden news. "You're saying that he was unfaithful to his fiancée and secretly found a lover?"

"When I heard the news, I was very angry with her, accusing her of destroying our family, and asking her to leave us for the sake of our friendship, after all, my brother is getting married...... As a result, she was not ashamed of this at all and refused my request! As a result, we got into an argument and ...... Then she went to my brother and sued me, and then she ...... And then she instigated my brother to snub me and bully me, oh God...... What a sin I have suffered! ”

Ezreal's breathing grew rapid, and his palms clenched into fists. And then ...... And then he really did it? He's bullying you just for a lover? ”

"You see, I really can't talk about this kind of ugly thing......" Fran smiled wryly, acquiescing to his statement.

"This bastard...... I knew he was such a bastard! Ezreal clenched his fists and muttered, "After all, it's the man's good son!" ”

"If you just snub me, although I am uncomfortable, I can still get through...... I'm just scared, sir, think about it, Mary is so fond of him, and she hates me again, if she keeps instigating my brother in the future, maybe one day, my brother will marry me to someone......" Fran seemed to choke up a little, this time it was the true feelings, "this is what I fear the most!" ”

"Do you need to listen to him? You would treat this kind of person as the same thing? What right does he have over you? ”

"Sir, you don't understand...... In a family like ours, can I rebel against my grandfather and brother? No...... I can't, I can only submit and accept any arrangement from them," Fran shook his head slightly, "This is a tradition that we have been doing for thousands of years, and I can't get rid of it." ”

"Hell!" Ezreal cursed.

"So, to prevent this most terrible thing from happening, I thought of you." After composing, Fran looked at Ezreal again. "Can you be kind and help me?"

These words and expressions, which are strong in melancholy and tolerant in sadness, seem to Ezreal to be like an angel in an instant.

What a beautiful child, and what kindness! She didn't deserve any grievances, Ezreal thought.

And what kind of hard-hearted heart would bear to be so cruel to such an angel? This is just too much.

Thinking of this, Ezreal Walter couldn't help but feel resentful of his half-brother.

"I'm so happy that I'm willing to do something for your happiness, just treat me as a true brother, kid!" R1152
