Chapter 42: Confession

After receiving such a vague answer from Charles, Fran and Mary's minds suddenly became even more confused, and they didn't know what to say for a while, except for looking at each other.

Is it because of the burden of conscience?

Although she felt ridiculous in her heart, Fran couldn't help but think of it.

"If you feel indebted to anyone, I don't think you need to think so, sir,......" she couldn't help but persuade her brother with a sense of concern, "Haven't gold, silver, and jewelry been in symbiosis with blood since ancient times?" How much better would anyone else be than you? My classmates, my friends, all the people I have seen, have all the wealth in their families been accumulated by proper means? No, what I saw is the exact opposite of the above, isn't everyone walking on blood and sludge? Because of the tacit understanding, everyone is polite to each other, and no one asks where the wealth of each family comes from...... Because of this, I have been pretending to be blind to the blood that has accumulated on our wealth, is there anything wrong with that? Not everyone is like that, and no one is better than the other...... Why should you have a guilty conscience? ”

Yes, she never asked, but a child like her must have known from an early age that most of her money was coming from the wrong place - just conveniently pretending not to see it.

In other words, since I was very young, my grandfather and I, and even her friends and classmates, have we completed our sociology education?

So, who is there to reproach her for being as selfish and ruthless as everyone else? She was only after learning our values. Just act in line with those values......

If you want to say that you have learned badly, you can only say that you have taught it badly early in the morning.

That's right, this world is full of materialism. What qualifications do I have, how can I reproach her for being like everyone else?

The thought crossed Charles' mind.

Unconsciously, the anger towards his sister in his heart became lighter and lighter, but it was full of helplessness and melancholy, and he was a little heartbroken.

"Hmph, do you think I'm scared of others? Then you think too much, I never take other people's opinions to heart. It doesn't matter who curses me or curses me...... I'm just doing what I want to do. Because the mood had become so bad, Charles didn't bother to explain, "Okay. Anyway, now that you know so much, you should understand that I don't want to go into this kind of thing. There's no value in discussing. You just think I have some kind of quirk, how many people in this world don't have a quirk? ”

"If you're just alone, then you don't have any quirks...... But don't forget, you're in a place where you never have a conscience or a principle! Fran didn't stop at Charles' refusal, but looked at Charles worriedly, "If you have some kind of ideal, it will only make you constrained." Besides, do you really think you're going to win hearts and minds if you do this? I think...... When the time comes. You don't please anyone, as we often see. Some will accuse you of being too pleasing to the mob, those who have benefited will think that you have given too little, and those who have not received anything will curse you and wish you would fall immediately! If you want to govern, you have to rely on something, right? You can't really run the country by a mob, can you? If that's what you're thinking, then ...... That's unimaginable, and it's certainly a disaster for us in the Trévilles! ”

"You're thinking far ahead! Tell me what to govern now! Charles couldn't help but laugh bitterly, "We don't even know what France will look like in three months, so why bother thinking about things so long?" ”

"How could I not think about it after discovering that you have such quirks?" Fran glanced at Charles resentfully, "If you want, you'll rule one day, and I'm convinced of that." No one can stop you, and I will not allow anyone to stop you. The question is whether your coming to power with the idea of the present will bring glory or disaster to you and our family......"

With an unwavering conviction, Fran said word for word, and she had no doubt that her brother would one day reach the top of the empire - for there must be only one outcome in the future.

However, it is difficult to say whether it is a blessing or a curse - she originally thought that her brother should have tempered himself into a calm and pragmatic, merciless and strong man who can crush a qiē, and had already prepared himself psychologically and characterically for his future governance, but she did not expect it...... The brother who looks so strong and cold still has such a strange idea in his heart.

Because of where she stands, and because of the education she received from a young age, she couldn't understand why she needed to do this as a Tréville.

Sure enough, even if he is as strong as Achilles, will he have a fatal flaw in his heel?

"If you can't solve this problem...... Then I dare to assert that the day you come to power is the day you lose, because you yourself have turned yourself into a loner! You won't step it underfoot...... You won't be able to ride the country that was meant to crawl beneath your feet. After a moment's pause, Fran continued, with a sense of unease, "It's like...... Just like the ones we've seen. Which of them is not ambitious? As a result, no one survived 20 years! Do you understand, I'm really worried about you......"

As she spoke aloud, Fran's expression became a little agitated, and her chest rose and fell slightly.

She was greeted by a look of utter disbelief from Charles.

"You...... How did you come up with these things ......? Charles frowned and looked at his sister, as if he didn't know her anymore, "Did anyone teach you anything?" Still is...... What strange things did the doctor tell you? ”

"No one has told me anything in particular, and if I hadn't, I wouldn't have been so worried," Fran smiled wryly again, "You...... You must be feeling weird, right? I could have thought of so many things...... However, it is really my own thoughts, and if you are surprised, it only means that you have not tried to understand me. I'm a little smarter than you think, am I? ”

"It's more than a little smarter." Charles nodded very honestly, "Maybe she's too smart." ”

"But shouldn't you be proud of yourself? I'm a good student of yours after all......" Fran looked up, full of passion, and even some undisguised adoration, "I've been with you for almost twenty years, and I remember every word you said...... Whether it's intentional or unintentional, I've taken your lessons to heart, so ...... I guess I'm going to think a lot of things. Originally, I planned to put this qiē in my heart, but ...... But...... If I don't tell you now, maybe I won't have much opportunity to talk about it in the future. ”

"Uh......"

My sister's words were full of sincerity, so Charles didn't know how to answer them.

I really didn't expect that there was a thinker who never showed his emotions all the time sleeping next to me!

And this thinker, I brought it out little by little!

Should I be shocked, or should I be proud?

His mind became confused, and even beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He had always known that his sister was very smart, but Charles, who had always treated her as an ignorant child, never expected that his sister would hide so deeply under her usual innocent appearance.

There are extremely bright minds, good knowledge and education, and there is also a city government that never shows its feelings, and there is also a worldview that is not bound by emotions and morals, and there is no lack of determination at critical moments......

Maybe she's better suited to fight in this vanity fair than I am?

"You're right, you're right, almost every sentence is correct," Charles sighed after I don't know how long, "it's so powerful, even I may not be able to be so thorough in some kind of Cheng dù." ”

"So, how about Charlotte?" Fran asked rhetorically with a sneer.

"Much stronger." Charles still nodded very honestly, "If you were a man, maybe Grandpa would appreciate you more, hmph, our Trevill family, in the end, it was the young branch that completely prevailed!" The brains of the long branch are completely incomparable to us. ”

At this moment, even he didn't realize that he was treating his sister as an equal.

He confessed it himself...... Charlotte was just lucky.

After hearing this belated confession, Fran suddenly felt tears almost roll down the corners of her eyes.

"But even if I know you're right, I'm not going to change my mind. There is no doubt that the road ahead will be full of difficulties for me, but I am not afraid. And you can rest assured...... Whether I am glorious or misfortune, you will never be implicated, and you will always enjoy the ...... I have given you."

"How can you still say such things at this time......!" In front of his brother's confession, Fran interrupted him without appreciation, "How can I possibly act like I don't care about you?" No matter what the road ahead, I will always be by your side, and you can't leave it. Whether you are a great man or a sinner, you are the same to me! ”

Charles looked at Fran in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Yes, I love you, and I would like to walk with you...... Even if there is a disaster, so what? With an inexplicable arrogance, Fran also stared at her brother, "Besides, with me, you won't fail." (To be continued......)
