"Do as you command, sir." With a soft smile, Mary bowed lightly to Charles.

Charles, however, was not overjoyed by her expression, but looked at her a little strangely.

He noticed that she was deliberately avoiding the question of the confrontation with Fran just now—yes, he could clearly see that the two of them were confronting each other, even if they were both trying to hide it.

He felt that this assistant of his was not as honest as he had to say in words, and there must be some secret hidden in his heart that he did not tell himself.

Did they quarrel with each other again?

It's not surprising if they really quarreled, haven't they already quarreled once before? Fran also scratched her face...... Fortunately, she chose to calm things down, otherwise she would have caused a big mess.

Now, judging from their expressions, I am afraid that this dispute has not ended, and the rift between them still exists, and there is no reconciliation.

But...... Since neither of them had the intention of confiding, he didn't want to get to the bottom of it, after all, he was not interested in getting involved in the quarrel between the girls.

Forget it, who doesn't have some secrets in their hearts?

"By the way, I have one more thing to tell you." He reached out and helped Mary to her feet.

"Please do what you ask, sir."

"The recent situation has been very chaotic, and the whole country is not very stable." He stared at Mary's face and said very sternly, "Especially in the period before I get married, anything can happen, and you better be careful......

Although this sentence seemed to tell her to act solemnly, Mary quickly understood Charles's hint.

In other words, will he be stable after he gets married?

This is not meant to be. What's going to happen in the near future?

Mary's heart suddenly shook a little.

Yes, what should come will come. How could the supporters of the Bonaparte family, having gained the upper hand, not seek to eliminate their opponents once and for all?

"I see. Thank you, sir. Mary looked at him solemnly, indicating that she understood Charles's hint, "It is my sincere hope that you will help the President defeat an opponent and save the country from chaos." ”

"I will, thank you." Charles smiled and nodded, clearly pleased that Mary was so shrewd, "There are some things that I can't say or do. Thanks to your help...... But I can sue you, Mary, that it will not be long before there will be no one to stop us. As I said, I will reward you for your loyalty and diligence...... And when that time comes, you'll find out that I definitely didn't lie to you. ”

In a rather cryptic way, Charles told Mary that his party was preparing to launch a coup d'état to bring down all opposition in the near future.

Although he did trust Mary, he could not divulge this vital information to her. Only a relatively broad hint can be given.

However, despite the subtlety of his words, there was still a hint of smugness in his tone.

"After all these years of chaos, the whole country is tired of chattering and bickering. It wants nothing more than tranquility and prosperity. And only the president, who has been loyal to the president, can give him everything the country needs. Right now...... It is to comply with the voice of the people and maintain the stability of the country. It's time to eradicate a pest that hinders the country's prosperity! No one put up any resistance in the face of the common aspirations of the people. ”

As he spoke, Charles's tone couldn't help but become a little excited—he really wanted to talk to someone about the feeling of pride.

This coup d'état. It was under his leadership that it was prepared, and even those who executed it were carefully selected by him, and it was sure to be a masterpiece that he led with all his might. Even though he can't be humane, he still wants to talk to someone he can trust about his pride.

Mary didn't say a word, and listened quietly to Charles' early announcement of this declaration of victory.

Although she was very calm on the surface, she was a little excited inside.

This young man, who has combined outstanding talent with resolute and resolute action, is embracing with great courage the supreme power of this country with his comrades.

She had no doubt that this man would be able to win with his comrades and would soon become one of the most powerful men in the country. And when the time comes, he will certainly be more powerful and powerful than he is now—and he who is loyal to him and serves him will be rewarded with the money he desires, and will have the power he dreams of, and will be able to sit on an equal footing with his proud and conceited friends, even if he can only be obscure because of his status.

She was secretly glad that she had chosen the right benefactor for herself, even if she paid so much price, it was still worth it after all.

"Where have you been, sir? You have always been a selfless help to me, I only hate my lack of intelligence and ability, and I can't repay it all......" She bowed down again, with that smile of joy and relief on her face, "It is an unforgettable honor to be able to contribute to your cause." ”

"You always say things that make me happy...... Ha ha. Charles couldn't help but laugh. I hope you will do what you say, and I will continue to rely on you. ”

"I will, sir...... And I'll do more than you think. Mary replied in a low voice. I will do my best to defend your position, even if I can't get the gratitude of others. ”

Surely you will not believe who I am fighting to defend your interests...... With a sense of self-satisfied satisfaction, and a kind of covert mockery, the corners of Mary's mouth turned up slightly, and a slightly odd smile was conspired.

"What?" Charles was a little confused.

"It's nothing, I'm just casually mentioning it." Mary immediately cut off the subject to avoid making Charles suspicious, "I just want to tell you that for me, what you need to worry about is what I need to worry about. I'm going to do my best to solve your problems......"

"You two seem to be having a good time...... "That's right." Charles suddenly heard a teasing sound not far away, and he looked back. I found my grandfather looking at me with a smirk. Looks like he's had enough rest, and he's ready to go back to his room to rest.

Embarrassment, he took a slight step back in order to reopen the distance he had unconsciously narrowed between himself and Mary.

"Ouch, don't be informal, young man, I won't make irresponsible remarks about you." Perhaps because of the pleasant conversation he had had with his brother just now, the Marquis of Treville looked very happy, and waved at the Charles again and again. "What were you talking about? I think you had a great conversation, didn't you? ”

Under the old man's meaningful gaze, Charles's embarrassment unconsciously intensified.

He looked at his grandfather, then at Mary, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere had become a little confusing.

Wasn't it under the old man's deliberate prodding that he slept with Mary?

"Hmm...... I didn't talk about anything......" He replied with some unease, for fear that Grandpa was making some strange thoughts at this time, "We just talked about some ordinary topics, and there was nothing strange about it. Well, it's not too early. Go and rest first, I'm a little tired......"

"Tired so early? It's not good, I've been busy all day and I still don't feel tired......" The old man's smile became even more strange, and no matter how he looked at it, it looked like he was teasing. "Young people, shouldn't they be more energetic? Mademoiselle de Léoland doesn't like to be perfunctory......"

These words are a bit strange in this context.

Charles' face flushed slightly. Mary, on the other hand, looked as if she hadn't heard anything.

I just packed a ticket for my grandson in front of Charlotte. Is it really good for you to turn around and make fun of your grandson? Charles couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Alright. I just have something I want to tell you two about. The old man's expression became solemn again, and then he made a gesture gently, "Come, come to my bedroom first." ”

The two men complied with the old man's arrangement and went to his bedroom together.

"Grandpa, tell me, what's the matter?" After the old man sat down, Charles hurriedly asked.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just about this young lady's arrangement." The Marquis of Treville pointed at Mary. "Charles, you're getting married, and you've got to make some arrangements for the future—especially Mary."

Charles then came to his senses, it turned out that he, like Mary, was worried that after Charlotte got married, he would be dissatisfied with Mary's survival.

"No...... You don't have to worry about this, I have already told Mary that no matter how Charlotte thinks of her, as long as she continues to serve our family, I will not abandon her. I'm not one to be ungrateful. He said quickly.

"At this time, of course, you can talk big, but it's hard to say when it's really coming." The old marquis shook his head, obviously a little skeptical of Charles's words, "You have soft ears, I wonder if Charlotte insists on it, you will change your mind......"

Am I so afraid of my wife in your eyes? Charles was in a state of flux.

But he didn't dare to argue with his grandfather. "And what are you going to do?"

"It's very simple, as long as it's not you who hires her, Charlotte has nothing to say." The old marquis replied indifferently, and then he turned to look at Marie, "Mademoiselle de Léoland, I will appoint you as my personal secretary to assist us in the affairs of our family...... Would you like to accept my request? The salary is easy to say. ”

After hearing the old man's words, Mary couldn't help but look at the old man in disbelief.

Is this what I get paid?

She had always felt that this old guy was ruthless, but she didn't expect him to be so reasonable at a critical moment, to be able to find out what he was thinking, and to be willing to give a solution.

"Thank you, Your Excellency. I am very happy to accept your kindness. I will repay your kindness to me with all my ability and will. She bowed her head and once again pledged her allegiance to another member of the Tremville family.

"I'm convinced." The old man smiled and nodded. "I will make up the formal form later, in short, from today you are an indispensable member of our family, I hope you can prove your promise with practical actions......"

Then, he squeezed his eyes a little tiredly, "Alright, you all go and rest, this night is still long, and there is still a lot to do!" Don't waste your time with me, an old man......"

Charles knew what his grandfather's 'many things' were, but he didn't dare to respond to his teasing, so he nodded at him and slowly exited his bedroom.

Mary stepped back after him, her expression relaxed and relieved.

Charles walked to his bedroom with a heart full of concern, and it was not until a moment later that he realized that Mary had followed him.

"Mary, is there anything else you want to tell me?" He asked curiously.

"By the orders of His Excellency the Marshal, don't I have to do something pleasant with you?" Mary looked at Charles calmly, "Do you want to go to my room?" That would be ......."

"No, no, no!" Charles was startled and quickly shook his head, "You go back to sleep, I'll rest alone." ”

Now, he has not yet been freed from the horror given by Charlotte, like a frightened bird, where would he dare to think of such a thing.

"Hahahaha......"

Mary suddenly scoffed, apparently she had known that Charles would say this, and she just wanted to see how embarrassed he looked.

"Well, good night, sir. If you change your mind at any time, don't hesitate to call me ......" (to be continued...... R1292
