Because of Fran's answer, Natasha was quite stunned, and forgot to speak for a while. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In her opinion, this delicate and beautiful woman should have been cared for since she was a child, so her character should be quite weak and naïve, as long as she persuaded her with the horror and tragedy of war, she should be shaken.

But I didn't expect her to react like this.

"Do you really want to see it all come true?" After a moment, she questioned Fran, "Where is your compassion?" Think of those poor people. With or without my father, your family can be prosperous in France, so why do you have to do it again? Is shedding so much blood any good for your family? ”

"You don't have to be so harsh on me, I'm doing what I'm told." Fran still rejected the other party, "I don't want to see bloodshed between the two countries, but if my brother thinks it's good for him, then I'll do it for him, you don't have to persuade me anymore, until the new instructions come, I will faithfully do what he told me before, and I won't change my mind no matter what you say." ”

“…… Don't you have a will of your own? Always say what my brother's. Natasha was even more displeased, "You're faced with a matter of life and death, and you want to fool the past with a sentence of 'I'm just doing what I'm told'?" Can't you just face your conscience? ”

This kind of unceremonious accusation finally made Fran a little angry, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and then looked at the other party rather unpleasantly.

"It is my will to obey his command, miss. Not everyone is like you, who doesn't care about the family, and for me, I have to do these things, and if there are any terrible consequences because of my efforts, it can only be God's will. ”

Then, not wanting to say anything more, she turned around and walked back to her room.

"Wait!" Seeing her leave like this, Natasha was also a little anxious, and rushed forward regardless of etiquette, following behind Fran. "God's will! You say it lightly, but can it be said that it is the will of God? This is obviously your family and my father doing such a thing for their own selfishness, and the result is ...... As a result, you blamed God backwards?! ”

"If it were just us, how could things have gotten to this point? Do we have any divine power that can change the world? Fran had to stop, and then looked at the other man not very politely, "Well, I would like to ask, are we creating strife and discord between the two countries?" Isn't it your Tsar who wants to expand his territory and stir up strife and discord throughout Europe? Is there no truth in all that your father opposed? ”

This series of cross-examinations made Natasha suddenly a little speechless.

It is true that, as Fran said, the two countries are now facing such a situation, and the expansionist policy of the Russian government bears the main responsibility, and it is the tsarist government itself that wants to provoke wars with other countries, and it is not entirely unreasonable for Count Bezukhov to oppose serfdom and want to reform Russia as soon as possible.

"Sorry...... I was a little rude just now. Her tone softened a little, "But...... I would like to ask you to think about it, because now there is no time for any recovery, and if we were to save it, everything could be improved in a less drastic situation, and the great bloodshed would not become a reality...... And isn't all this good for you and your brother as well? ”

"It's not something I can judge, miss." Fran glanced at the other party, still unmoved. "You don't have to waste any more words to convince me, I really won't compromise on your words. If you want to change that, try convincing your father. ”

"Well, then I'm not going to plead with you anymore, it seems that you don't have such a thing." In the face of such a categorical answer, Natasha finally gave up her intention to persuade Miss Tréville to change her mind, and she could already see that this young lady was far more hearted than she appeared. "So, can I pray that you will do me a little favor? For the sake of us knowing each other after all, and for the sake of being girls......"

Fran hesitated slightly, in all fairness she didn't feel any sympathy for the other party, and she didn't want to help her, but the other party said it so pleadingly, she couldn't bear to refuse.

"What if...... If your request is related to my mission today, I can't agree to it. In the end, she could only give such a reserved answer.

"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with today's events or your mission, and I won't force you to do anything that makes you so embarrassed." Natasha smiled coldly. "I just want to ask you to tell the outside world that I'm not dead, I'm just alive."

"What does that mean?" Fran was a little confused.

"Don't you see it clearly from what my father just said? He's going to imprison me here, trying to make me submit, so I probably can't get out of here. Natasha still sneered, "Now, why don't I die in obscurity one day, I have to let the outside world know that I'm not sick and alive and well—so that no one notices when I suddenly disappear." ”

"You...... You're thinking too badly about that. Fran sighed, "I don't think someone like your father would get to this point. ”

"I've lived with him for twenty years, and you've only met him for the first time today, so I think I'm more qualified to judge his actions." Natasha shook her head, "Although my father is usually very gentle, he does everything when it is time to be ruthless, not to mention that he is full of hatred for the Tsar's family, so he will not spare me easily no matter what...... Now he has not used cruel means, but he has not yet felt that the matter is irreparable, and when he finds out...... That's completely different, I'm sure he'll do absolutely anything! ”

"Didn't you even think about compromising with him? Don't forget, he's your father! Why do you have to oppose your father? Fran had some difficulty understanding the other party. And as you yourself can see, continuing to fight against him will do you more harm than good, and you may even risk accidents. ”

"I'm sorry, although it is my father, although I respect him and even love him, but I have my own ideas and principles that I adhere to, but I have no way to make any concessions to him on these issues, and there is no reason to make concessions." Natasha was not moved at all, "You see the interests of the family above everything else, my father sees Russia in his mind as above everything else, and I ...... I also have things that I see as above all else. ”

"Okay...... Since this is your idea, I can't say more. Seeing that there was no point in persuading her, Fran gave up the effort. You can stick to your opinion. ”

"So, you can see the danger I'm facing, right?" Natasha also became serious, "Since you are here as a guest, then you will definitely be welcomed by Petersburg, after all, you are so beautiful, you are still French, and you are still a famous family!" Oh, I feel like you're going to be in the limelight...... You don't know, Petersburg is full of French admirers, but my dad is not the only one. ”

Although she knew that the other party was deliberately complimenting herself, Fran still couldn't help but blush a little. "You...... Where did you go? ”

"I'm telling the truth, really, miss, you have such qualifications." "Even if relations between our two countries are not good now, even if your brother is a French dignitary, you can still be very popular with us, the gates of Petersburg are open to you, you can visit as many times as you like, and there will be many people who will be very attentive to you." ”

"Alright...... Don't say that, it's embarrassing. Fran was a little embarrassed.

"I mean very simply, since you are a guest of my house, and you will be entertained by many people, it is inevitable that some people will mention me when they offer you courtesy...... At that time, you casually said that you saw me, and my body looked good, and that's it, so I'm afraid I won't disappear easily. Natasha looked at Fran with anticipation in her eyes, "You see, this request doesn't embarrass you, and it doesn't go against your principles, does it?" I just don't want to just disappear all of a sudden. ”

Fran thought about it and realized that it didn't do her any harm.

"Are you really asking for that?"

"Yes, that's it." Natasha repeated solemnly.

"Then I see." Fran pondered for a moment, then finally nodded, "I'll say something in passing, but ...... I think you're still worrying too much, and from what I've observed, your father isn't that kind of person......"

"Are you really willing to help?" Natasha was still a little uneasy.

"Trust me......" Fran couldn't help laughing, "how can I bear to see you suffer?" ”

"Thank you for your comfort, but I think sometimes it's better to be cautious." Perhaps because the request was met, Natasha's face also showed a relieved smile when she looked at the other party's smile.

Then, she took a few steps back and saluted Fran again. "Thank you, Miss Treville, and I apologize to you for my rudeness."

Then, she walked away briskly.

"She didn't mean it." When she left, Mary, who had been silent, said, "I think she must have some other plan." ”

"I think so too." Fran nodded.

"Then why did you promise her?" There's something strange about Mary.

"To get a good night's sleep?" Fran smiled and replied, "If she keeps chasing me, how can I rest?" ”

“…… I think you can really make a splash in Petersburg. Seeing her lovely smile, Mary couldn't help but laugh too. (To be continued.) )
