"Grandpa, you said yes, right?"

Under Charles's gaze, the Marquis of Treville couldn't help but laugh as well.

Then, he wiped his mouth with a napkin before he spoke leisurely, "Charles, I'm old, you can handle this problem yourself." ”

When he said this, he essentially supported Charles's opinion, but he was only deliberately tactful in order to accommodate Charlotte's thoughts.

After hearing this, Charlotte's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of gloom - to this day, she still finds it difficult to accept that the set of principles that she has been a child has been adhered to since childhood should be so abandoned among these relatives.

"Charles, you have been in the 6th Army Headquarters for a while now, and now you should have your own opinions on the political tendencies of those officials in the army, right?" The Marquis of Treville asked again.

"Well, yes. To put it simply, they support a certain kind of monarchism and don't like the republic very much, but they don't intend to take risks, and they don't care who sits on the throne......" Charles replied as he continued to cut the steak, "although it cannot be said that this is the case for every official, there is no doubt that this idea is the mainstream among officials. ”

"That's right, it looks like you do have a heart." The Marquis of Treville nodded, evidently pleased with his answer, "When I led my troops to Italy, the officers under my command were more or less the same. Most of them tend to be monarchical—because the monarch is more dependent on the military, and they can be made hereditary—but they don't care much about legitimacy, they don't care who is king. It can even be said that they were against the Bourbons because it was not so fond of the nouveau riche...... No way. If you want to restore the old system, at least the army can hardly count on it. ”

It doesn't make it clear, but it's explaining to Charlotte that if there is no hope of an army, then how is it possible to restore the old dynasty?

"Okay, I got it." Although with some disappointment. But Charlotte nodded her head and said she accepted the result. "So be it......"

"Charlotte ......" Charles looked at Charlotte in some surprise, usually with her character, at least a few more words, how could she be so good at talking today.

"Don't say any more, I'm just telling him about his advice. I don't want to force you to do more, if you don't listen. Charlotte didn't have any expression on her face, "You can do whatever you want, I don't want to stop you." We're getting married, so what else can we do? ”

Although there was a sense of helplessness in his tone. But there is also a tacit acquiescence to the status quo.

Charles was more and more surprised, and he looked at Charlotte, but his heart was filled with a strange excitement.

She's finally less stubborn, and I've finally made a little bit of a makeover.

It took me twenty-three years to get a little better out of the duchess's stubborn mind...... Oh, my God! What a feat!

A sour feeling of accomplishment and joy suddenly welled up in Charles's heart, and even made his nose slightly sour.

Only those who have spent time with these arrogant and empty-eyed Duchess Ladies in Paris. to be able to appreciate the excitement in his heart at this moment.

"What's wrong with you, Charles?" Charlotte felt that Charles had suddenly become a little weird, and hurriedly asked.

"Nothing. It's just a little fun. Charles replied.

Then, out of nowhere, he suddenly leaned over and kissed Charlotte's forehead quickly.

When she was caught off guard by this "attack", Charlotte's face instantly turned a little red, and then she reached out and grabbed Charles's ear. "What are you doing! Grandpa is watching! ”

"Ahh Sorry, sorry! In pain, Charles repeatedly wanted Charlotte to apologize. That's when she stopped her hand. No matter in any era, make such a frivolous and intimate act in front of the elders. It's a bit rude.

However, the Marquis of Treville did not seem to be at all offended, and only smiled as he watched the two young men make a fuss, and leisurely poured himself another glass of wine.

"I'm sorry, grandpa, it's all Charles messing around, don't be angry......" Charlotte hurriedly apologized to the Marquis after rearranging the dress that had just been a little messy.

"It's okay, what's there? You don't have to talk so much about etiquette in front of your own family! I just want to see you make a fuss like this, and feel the vitality of young people. The old marquis shook his head, and then drank the wine in the cup, "We old bones have worked hard for decades, and we don't want to see you like this?" ”

"Look, grandpa wasn't angry in the first place." Charles hurriedly agreed, but was glared at by Charlotte and quickly stopped.

When dinner came to an end, it was already late at night, and because she didn't dare to spend the night at Charles's house, Charlotte took her leave after eating.

There were only two people left in the dining room, and when the servant came in to clean up, the old marquis made a gesture and drove him out.

Sensing that his grandfather had something to say to him, Charles sat down again, and then looked at the Marquis inquiringly. "Grandpa, is there anything else?"

"Charles, do you feel that Fran has been a little strange lately?" The old marquis looked at Charles with some sternness, and then sighed, "Hey...... It seems that he still hasn't recovered from the blow. ”

It's not just that I didn't recover from the blow...... Charles sighed in his heart. Of course, he didn't dare to say the real reason.

"Well, it looks like she's still not in good spirits." Charles nodded slightly. "But there's no way around it, so she can only come out on her own."

"It's true that we can only let her come out on her own, but we can't just watch it, right?" The old marquis asked, "I feel very distressed to see her so sullen all the time." You can probably see that, right...... Before you came, the atmosphere here was not very good. That's right, they were already arguing just now. ”

That's right...... Charles suddenly felt a headache.

"Quarrel? Why? Charles hurriedly asked, "Is there any conflict between them?" ”

"Actually, there is no quarrel...... the old marquis's face was a little embarrassed, but after hesitating for a moment, he continued, "It's the same thing I discussed with Philip last time......"

"Is it because of that...... Charles knew in his heart. What does Fran say? ”

Since the marriage of Charles and Charlotte was confirmed, the Tréville brothers thought about doing it again, so they planned to match Fran and Philip, the eldest grandson of the Duke of Treville. Although Charles was not very supportive, he agreed that Fran was free to choose, so at the last ball, he arranged for Philip to meet Fran, and they met several times after that.

Unexpectedly, they were actually talking about it today! How do you say that?

Charles's heart tensed for no apparent reason, as if he was worried that Fran would really say "yes".

"Well, it looks like Philip didn't like her." The old marquis sighed suddenly. "When I asked about it at the dinner table, she said she didn't like Philip, saying that he was too arrogant, that he didn't have anything in common, that he was too idle and unambitious, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on...... Charlotte was a little upset when she heard Fran count her brother like this, and then said that Fran was too demanding, and then the two of them quarreled like this, and I was watching from the side and was anxious, and I didn't know how to dissuade it, but fortunately you came back. ”

Charles felt a sense of relief in his heart, but of course he still pretended to be very calm on the surface.

"Oh, that's a shame. However, if she doesn't like it, there's nothing she can do, we can't force it. ”

"That being said, she's not very young now, is she? It's time to think about it......" The old marquis shook his head, "even if Philip doesn't want it, he should think about the others, right?" I looked at her like she looked like no one could look at her at all. ”

"Really?" Charles was a little surprised and asked, "Is it so strict?" ”

"That's it." The old marquis sighed, then looked up at Charles, as if joking, "Charles, it's all your fault. I think it's because I've been by your side all the year round, so that girl has become more eye-catching and no one can look down on her, what do you say about this? ”

"Ah...... "Although the old marquis was joking, Charles suddenly felt a little flustered, or he was like a thief with a weak heart." Belch...... This ......"

Fortunately, the old marquis did not notice Charles's abnormality.

"At the end of the day, we care too little. Hey, I can't blame you, you're so busy these days, how can you have so much spare time? In this way, I will spend more time with her and take her to relax. The old marquis poured himself another glass of wine, "At my age, I should stay with my granddaughter more." ”

After a pause, he remembered something again, "Of course, even if this is the case, we can't delay the business." I'll be partying with some old friends for a while, and you should go with me when the time comes, and it will be good for you to get to know more of the old-timers in the 6th Army. ”

"Thank you then!" Charles was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked his grandfather.

"Thank you!" The old marquis shook his head, as if he was sighing for something, "Hey, you are all so old, but you still don't let me worry about it, I still have to cheer up." Especially Fran, I need to help see what the right people are around, and I can't just ignore everything. Otherwise, what if she becomes an old girl? ”

Instead of answering, Charles poured himself another glass of wine.

Then, an inexplicable feeling suddenly surged into his heart.

If she doesn't want to get married, why can't I take care of her for the rest of my life? (To be continued)
