Chapter 10 Uniforms
When the self-proclaimed "lady" Cecilia subconsciously responds to her call, Charles knows that his guess is not wrong at all.
Moreover, this "lady" has obviously revealed her fatal flaws. Despite the powder on his face, Charles still saw that his face was strangely pale.
However, he soon regained his composure.
"Did you recognize the wrong person? Mr. He said coldly.
Even Charles couldn't help but secretly admire this man's composure.
However, there was a triumphant smile on his face.
"Oh? Is it? So, can you untie the veil around your neck? ”
"Why should I listen to your ......," the other replied in a low voice, and then suddenly turned and ran.
Well, as long as I can sneak out of this mansion while I'm not prepared, I can die and not admit anything after that, this is indeed the best deal now, right? Charles nodded slightly, and then followed unhurriedly.
In the corridors of the mansion, Viscount Alex de Roetrec ran forward in a panic, almost bumping into the servants and guests passing by several times, causing a small commotion. Although the dress she was wearing greatly affected his running, he still ran briskly to the door.
At this time, he was in a rare panic, full of a sense of crisis that was about to come to a catastrophe.
As long as you can escape...... As long as you can escape...... Never play this big again next time! He prayed secretly in his heart.
However, when he had just run to the door. But now the master of the room, Mademoiselle Caterina de Perriette, was already there with several servants.
"Miss de Routrec, leave without saying hello to your master. I'm afraid it's a bit rude, right? She smiled at the lady who had come rushing all the way.
Viscount Lautrec couldn't help but stop and looked at the other side with wide eyes.
Should I rush it? Or should you look for another route? There was a slight hesitation in his heart...... If only you had brought a weapon beforehand!
"Stop! Lady! At this time, Charles finally chased after him from behind, blocking his back road, "You took my things and wanted to walk away like this?" Please give it back to me, right? ”
Well? What does that mean? Viscount Lautrec was slightly stunned.
"Katarina, thank you for helping me catch this thief!" Charles thanked Miss Blue Stockings again, "Really. is so good-looking, and he still has to be a thief! ”
Charles's explanation made Viscount Lautrec suddenly realize.
Apparently, this Trever deliberately told Miss Blue Stockings that he had stolen his things. Only then did he get the help of the other party to arrest himself - that is, he did not intend to reveal his secret, at least not yet.
Come to think of it. He wasn't as anxious as he had been. He looked back and looked at the other person quizzically.
"Miss, come with me......" As before, Charles still smiled, "Let's go to a secluded place and say, you give me back your things, and don't lose your dignity ......"
After getting the hint that "everyone should not lose decency", Viscount Lautrec finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief. I don't know what the other party wants to do. But at least not yet.
"All right, sir." He glared at Charles. Say it word by word.
Even now, he still used that low, false voice that was full of arrogance.
That's really ...... Professional, Charles sneered inwardly.
…………
When they entered a small room in the mansion, it was Viscount Lautrec who spoke first.
"Mr. Treville, let's treat today's incident as if the two of us never gave birth to it." He lifted his chin and calmly said to Charti, "You don't care about my business, and I will never tell you about it." ”
Charles looked at each other with a smile, and even at this time, his feminine appearance still seemed to have some charm.
"My business? What's going on? ”
"Hmph, do you think I can't see it? Isn't it Mademoiselle de Treville who is accompanying you today? Viscount Lautrec had changed his original voice, but the arrogance in it still hadn't diminished a bit, "Shouldn't you keep it a secret when you came here with a lover for such an occasion?" ”
Charles groaned, not answering.
"So, I think it's better for us to pretend that nothing is going to happen." Seeing that Charles seemed to be a little shaken, Viscount Lautrek felt a lot more relieved, "Don't worry, I promise ......"
At this moment, Charles suddenly spoke, his tone calm and oppressive.
"I mean, haven't you been able to grasp the situation until now?"
"Huh?"
"What secrets do you have of me? My lover and I came here for fun, but so what? Charles sneered, "Even if you talk about this, there may be some commotion in the outside world, but in general, it will only add a lot of romance to us...... But what about you? If your secret is revealed...... Hehe, Mr. Alex de Roetrek, who had a promising future, is definitely going to be finished! Don't you have the severity of the problem now? ”
Although the consequences will definitely not be so easy if it is exposed, at least Charles thinks that Charlotte will never give up so easily, but this does not prevent him from being so light-hearted in order to hit the other party's psychological defense.
Sure enough, after listening to his words, Viscount Lautrec's eyes widened slightly.
He knew Charles was right, because the tolerance for affair in high society was so high that Charles's affair would not damage his reputation and future much if it were exposed - after all, who wouldn't do that? It is a rare thing not to mess with flowers.
And he, it's different. Once the problem of transvestism is exposed, his future, his reputation, his qiē...... will all disappear from this society, and no one will have mercy. All you get is contempt and ridicule.
Why did I risk coming, at this moment, his heart was suddenly filled with incomparable remorse.
"I ...... too I don't want that either. He suddenly covered his face with his hands, as if he was about to cry. My father had high expectations of me from a young age. He always treated me very harshly, he wanted me to inherit the family business, enter the army, and soar...... He's so harsh...... So harsh...... So when I was a child, I could be a little more relaxed if I put on women's clothes and play a girl for a while, but then it became a ...... It's become a habit...... Mr. Can't you just be a little more tolerant? I don't want that either! ”
"Even if you say that, I can't ......"
Charles was about to answer, but the other man's fist was already swinging towards him.
So ruthless! Charles hurried back. Dodged the punch.
However, the next punch soon followed. Charles hurriedly reached out to block it.
Do you want to knock yourself unconscious and escape from the mansion as a hostage? A good idea indeed.
Charles sneered inwardly as he dodged the other party's attack.
Merely. You're underestimating me too much.
Two people, you come and go. After a brief fist fight, there was a heavy knock on the door. Seeing that there was no point in fighting any further, Viscount Lautrec had no choice but to stop his hand.
He looked at Charles viciously.
"It's a little better than I thought, but if I hadn't worn a skirt tonight, you wouldn't have been able to beat me."
"Oh, maybe." Charles shrugged, trying to make himself look lighter. Let's be honest. If I haven't exercised for a long time, my agility is indeed not as good as when I was in middle school.
The door was quickly slammed open. Several people looked at Charles in a panic, "Sir, are you all right?" ”
"Oh, it's fine." Charles shrugged again, "I just had a cordial exchange with this lady for a while......"
The servants looked at the two of them who were a little disheveled, and suddenly showed an expression of sudden realization, and then hurriedly confessed and retreated.
After they closed the door again, Charles smiled at each other again.
"Now, I suppose you have no other way to go, right?"
"Well, what do you want!" Viscount Lautrec said coldly, his eyes were full of hatred, if he had a gun at this moment, I am afraid he would have shot it a long time ago.
"What should I do?" Still smiling, Charles took a pen and a small notepad from the table next to him and threw them in front of him. "Write a few sentences for me."
"What do you mean?" Viscount Lautrec was a little puzzled.
"It's not interesting, as long as you are willing to write these few words, I can let you go tonight, as if you have never given birth to anything." Charles replied with a smile.
"Write what?" Viscount Lautrec simply picked up the notebook and pen, and then walked to the table and sat down.
"Write as I say." Charles's tone was calm, even a little leisurely, "The first sentence is 'I, Viscount Alex de Roetrec, am a disgusting and perverted transvestite, and have been addicted to it for years'. ”
Viscount Lautrec looked up, the anger burning in his eyes as if it could materialize.
"Please write quickly," Charles was unmoved, still smiling, "I'm afraid I don't have much time left for you." ”
After staring at each other for a moment, as if he had despaired of the situation, Viscount Lautrec hung his head again with a face full of resentment, and then wrote down one stroke at a time.
According to Charles' dictation, Viscount Lautrec wrote this confession, and finally signed his name at the end.
When he handed it over, Charles took it with great defensiveness, and then swept it quickly while keeping his eyes on it.
"I, Viscount Alex de Lautrec, am a disgusting and perverted cosmodic and have been addicted to it for years......" He deliberately read it to the side, in order to embrace the previous ridicule of the other party, and Viscount Lautrec's expression mixed with extreme resentment, pain, and chagrin made this pleasure several times greater.
As Charles finished reading slowly, he carefully placed the page in his pocket.
"Thank you for your cooperation, then, now you can go back." He bowed slightly and saluted, "Beautiful lady de Rotherec." ”
………………
After the two men had settled, Charles approached Miss Blue Stockings and told her that the thief had returned the things, and that he had decided not to pursue them for the sake of grace.
Miss Blue Stockings, who had been informed by the servant, laughed at Charles for taking advantage of people (in a sense, she was right), but since Charles herself didn't want to pursue it, she just let go of the "female thief", and Viscount de Roetrec fled the mansion with an expression that he didn't know how to describe.
Then, Charles also finds Matilda and takes her back with her.
In the carriage, Matilda was still excited about what she had experienced today.
"Charles, I'm not wrong! The hosts here are indeed as hospitable as they are rumored, and the guests have their own minds, so it's great to be able to come and play once! Especially that young lady, well, you should know who I mean, right? She's such an interesting person, she seems to be quite familiar with English literature, and she is very insightful, you should really listen to it! ”
Then she relayed the words of the "lady" to Charles.
Cold, sharp, but surprisingly profound, it's really that person's style. Charles listened and chuckled inwardly.
"Indeed, an interesting person." Charles nodded, clutching the page in his pocket. (To be continued!)
