Seemingly surprised by Charles' attitude, his cousin unexpectedly cooperated, and directly let Charles and Charlotte in, and then he carefully closed the door, and then motioned for both of them to sit next to their desks.

Because it was not yet bedtime, he was still wearing the civilian clothes he had just had, and he didn't have to change his clothes again. There were only three of them in the room, and Charlotte's mother wasn't here - for the couple had always lived in separate rooms.

"What the hell are you looking for me, Charles?" He looked at Charles inquiringly, then sat down himself. "What the hell is it for you to break in so aggressively, you guys?"

"I had a conversation with Philip just now, and I found something very interesting......" Charles's expression was still very cold, and his eyes were always on the desk, not looking at him. So I'd like to come and check with you. ”

"That bastard boy!" As soon as he heard this, the little Duke of Trevill thought that Philip had been disrespectful to Charles just now, which angered Charles, and immediately shouted, "Did he say anything stupid to you?" Don't take it to heart, I'll teach him a lesson when I get back, Charles......"

"No, it's not that, Philip and I can talk about it, you don't have to worry." Charles shook his head, then repeated, "I just want to verify one thing from you......"

"So what's going on? Why are you so dignified, Charles? "Because he sensed that something was wrong, the little duke finally became stern,

"Have you recently hired a young man named Ezreal Walter?" Charles didn't want to stall, so he asked directly.

As soon as he heard Charles's question, the little duke's eyes widened slightly, and he didn't answer immediately. Apparently very stunned.

Well, it seems to be true, Charles secretly confirmed in his heart, and then a wave of anger suddenly rose from his heart.

I gave you a chance. He thought to himself, and even his fists clenched tightly.

That's why he's so angry. The first is to worry about the safety of yourself and your family; Another reason is that nowadays, it is difficult for him to tolerate others not taking his words seriously.

"Charles, do you know him?" After a moment of silence, the little Duke of Trevill asked Charles in a low voice.

"Sort of...... I know, but I'm not familiar with it. Not a friend, either. Charles said word by word, "The important thing is not my side, but your side, who is he?" ”

"He's who he is." Uncle Tang replied with some confusion, "Why." Charles, you've been back and forth before? Has he offended you? ”

Of course, Charles didn't want to shake out all the secrets of his family, even if the person opposite was so dear.

"More on that later, what I want to know is, why did you hire him? Do you know him? When did you meet? Who is he? ”

"Even if you keep asking that, I can't answer it......" the middle-aged man smiled bitterly, "Honestly, just a month ago." I don't even know this guy......"

"Huh? Dad, what's going on? His answer confused Charlotte, who had been silent next to her. Since you don't know him and don't know where he came from, why hire him? Is there such a shortage of people in our family right now? ”

Under the gaze of Charles and Charlotte, the middle-aged man fell into an unexpected silence, and kept his head down, as if he was thinking about something. The two men looked at each other, but finally decided not to speak yet. Waiting for him to explain the matter.

After an unknown amount of time, the little duke seemed to have finally made up his mind. He slowly raised his head and looked at his daughter and son-in-law next to him.

"I don't know that though. However, I still know a little bit about the origins...... But, Charles, do you really need to know? ”

His attitude made Charles feel a little subtle in his heart, but because of the importance of the matter, he still stiffened his head and nodded. "It's very important, please tell me."

"Then, you two must promise me that you will be absolutely tight-lipped about what I am going to say next, and you will never tell anyone else......" The little duke's voice was very low, and he thought that he had already brought some enlightenment, "because this is a matter of a person's reputation, can you promise me?" ”

The Duke of Trevill's solemn attitude made Charles and Charlotte more and more puzzled, and after they looked at each other again, they reached a tacit understanding.

"Well, well, I can promise you that I will never say anything about it." Charles nodded, "I'm not a rapper and don't like to interfere in other people's affairs, but this time it's me, so I have to ask, and I ask for your understanding." ”

"That's fine." The middle-aged man sighed, obviously helpless against his daughter and prospective son-in-law, "Okay, I'll tell you all...... Actually, it had to start more than a month ago......" When he said this, he was silent, as if he was hesitating what to say.

"Okay, don't sell it, Dad, tell me quickly." As if her curiosity had been aroused, Charlotte couldn't help but start urging her father, "What happened at that time?" ”

"Well, it's not a big deal, it's just that I received a letter...... her father shook his head slightly, "it's from Princess Kadiyan." ”

"Princess Kadiyan?!" At this time, even Charles couldn't help but fall into consternation.

"What does the letter say? Father? Charlotte immediately asked.

Ever since they had met and talked to her in Giverny, Charlotte had some respect for the princess, and she had become more and more curious.

"The letter...... How to say it, except for some old words and polite words, she only said one thing, that is, she wanted me to help her son...... You all know that, right? Since the death of Prince Kadiyan, the Kadiyan family is now extinct, and no one has been able to inherit the throne. So, I was shocked, really shocked. ”

Charles and Charlotte looked at each other, although the two had guessed that Princess Cadion should have an illegitimate child, but they didn't expect this guess to be true, and it was confirmed in such a strange way.

"I'm not exaggerating, I'm really shocked, you can't even understand my shock at the time!" The little duke emphasized several more times, describing his mood at that time, "If it weren't for the handwriting and signature, I really couldn't believe any of the words on the letter!" ”

"In other words, the princess wants you to take care of her illegitimate child?" Charlotte asked in a low voice.

"Yes, that's it. I couldn't believe it at first, but ...... In the end, I had to accept the reality," the middle-aged man sighed, "This reality is that the woman you admired and admired when you were young suddenly wrote to you after you entered middle age to tell you that she had an illegitimate son and asked you to take care of him...... I really don't want to give you a chance to experience what it's like......"

Charles looked at his cousin who sighed, and his heart suddenly brightened.

"That is, that Mr. Ezreal Walter is actually the illegitimate son of Princess Cardiyan."

"yes, that's it." The little duke nodded, "The princess implores me, for the sake of the old friendship, to take care of this young man, so that he can slowly rise to the top and have an identity that can gain a foothold in society." ”

"What does that mean?" Charlotte was a little puzzled.

Don't you understand what that means? She wanted me to take this young man and make him a petty official or a diplomat, and then she would slowly and secretly transfer most of her fortune to him, lest it fall into the hands of some distant relative. The little duke sighed, and a rare trace of melancholy appeared on his face, "In the letter, she said that she felt that she was old, so she begged me to hurry up and help, and the words were so sad that I felt so distressed that I wanted to shed tears...... You say, she's already said that's it, can I not agree to this request? ”

"You men love to eat this, as long as you say a few soft words, you will agree to anything." Charlotte gave Charles a sudden look, apparently not just talking about her father. "I've seen through you."

"Don't say that, Charlotte, that's our demeanor!" Her father smiled wryly, "Anyway, I agreed to her request, and then called the young man over, and after meeting, I hired him, and I was ready to carry him later." ”

I see, Charles finally understood what was going on.

Although I was a little shocked when I first heard it, if I thought about it carefully, it was not strange for the princess to do this, the Tréville family is now wealthy, and the princess entrusted her illegitimate son to her cousin, which should be a good choice.

In addition, since the young man was the illegitimate son of Princess Cadion, and now he was relying on the favor and help of the little Duke of Treville, there should be no threat to their family, so Charles was secretly relieved a lot.

Perhaps, the act of getting close to his family at the beginning was just because of this young man's curiosity?

"In that case, then it'll be fine." After thinking about it for a moment, Charles nodded, "Well, sir, I have nothing to say about your chivalrous demeanor, and I don't want to interfere, it seems that I was just worried in vain just now, and now it's okay." Also, you can rest assured that I will never tell anyone about these things. ”

"Well, that's good, I was afraid that person would offend you." The little duke also looked relieved, "If that's the case, then I'll have to put the promise aside and dismiss him." ”

"It doesn't look like it's going to be done so much, it's just that I'm worried in vain." Charles shrugged.

"By the way, who is the father of the bastard?" Charlotte asked suddenly.

Her father frowned, then lowered his gaze.

"I don't know, she didn't say, I didn't ask." (To be continued)
