The young woman opposite her had a fair and delicate face, dressed in a plain white dress, and when she placed a wide-brimmed hat embellished with braided flowers on the edge of the tea table, her long chestnut hair, which had been combed into a delicate bun, was slightly messy, but then it was smoothed out, and every move made her look quite ladylike.

When she blinked, her brown eyes were slightly blank to her surroundings, which also silently proved that she was special. But after careful consideration, Charles had to admit that it was indeed the most beautiful place in the other party's facial features, crystal clear and moist, like a deer.

Her voice is also very gentle, and when they communicate with each other, it sounds very comforting, as if the spring breeze is at the end of winter and when spring comes, blowing through the cold and frozen earth, bringing an inexplicable vitality.

Her speech and demeanor are even more impeccable, and her every move fully shows a good family education and self-cultivation.

In short, she is a very attractive aristocratic lady, and although she has some flaws, she faintly makes her express a special beauty.

However, Charles was now wondering how to kill her without a trace.

"I have met Monsieur Hugo, he was a very polite gentleman, and I remember when we were reading in a library, and he gave up his seat to an old commoner, which is rare among the aristocracy."

There were all kinds of ill-intentioned thoughts in his heart, and on the surface, Charles sitting in front of the window rarely showed a subtle and polite smile.

is also like his neat and elegant clothes, the white handkerchief on his chest is slightly exposed, and there is no place for confusion, which makes people look at it and can't help but praise it in their hearts.

What a neat and handsome gentleman.

That's what the woman in the red dress next to the blind girl on the other side thought, and in just over ten minutes of communication, her original impression of Charles unconsciously changed greatly.

From a rude person who is quite unreasonable, he has become a charismatic young talent who may have hardships and is misunderstood by the public.

The impression of a greatly changed impression made her speak more politely.

However, Charles' impression of this person is only one word - "light bulb".

Sensing that her secrets might be discovered, Charles invites her to "dinner" while she is still gone.

The other party did not refuse, but helplessly, she pulled one of her "best friends".

As a result, Charles had to rein in his temper and began a duplicitous "performance".

It must not be possible to do it on the spot, so he called his cheap brother, who was sitting next to him at the moment, with his head down and feasting on a plate of desserts.

If it weren't for the woman in the red dress, he might have done it. And now, I have to engage in this boring game of wasting time.

"It's really grinding."

Muttering secretly, the blind girl on the other side heard his words and replied with a smile: "Thank you, my father will be very relieved to hear this." Few of his colleagues saw this as a merit, but felt that he was not inferior. ”

In this regard, Charles smiled: "I can only say that the decline of Dulin is not without reason. ”

……

This can be regarded as sincere.

The kingdom of Turin may have been once glorious, but now it is much less than it once was.

Although at the beginning of the new era, the land and power of most of the aristocratic class were relieved of the "following trend", the power of the state was still in the hands of some old families.

The so-called innovation of rights is only in name.

In recent years, it is not unreasonable for some new aristocrats, including Charles's nominal father, to continue to make small moves.

The old aristocrats were corrupt and stubborn, arrogant and extreme.

A group of people don't know what to think, and every once in a while they can come up with strange decrees that normal people would never come up with.

In short, they're a bunch of people who used to have their brains in the water, and after a long time, the water in them has turned into silt.

"I don't think it's a decline, it's just that it's a little worse than the surrounding Chauvinistic Empire, and it's still very strong compared to the bumblebee and the mountain country, both economically and militarily."

"It's just self-soothing." Despite the uninteresting topic, Charles offered his opinion.

"A hundred years ago, the slave liberation war was defeated in the mountain country, and the whole country was greatly impacted, although in recent years, it has worked hard, but it is still at a low ebb, as for the bumblebee? Hehe, a group of barbarians living in the mountains. Compared to them, it is more like the gap between monkeys and people. ”

While talking, the waiter in the tea room brought a plate of refreshments.

Charles nodded politely in thanks. Then he looked at the two ladies and said apologetically, "Sorry, I need to go to the bathroom." ”

With that, he got up and nodded at the two of them, glanced at his dumbfounded brother again, and then walked away unhurriedly with the steps of a "gentleman".

As he passed by the blind girl, his fingers gently brushed the corners of the other's chestnut hair as if unintentionally, and a gold-rimmed card quietly appeared between his fingers.

Charles's movements were so stealthy that the people around him barely noticed, but the conversation about him didn't stop.

"He's really different from what others say." Turning her head to look at the young man's tall back, the woman in the red dress whispered to the blind girl named Thea, "And it seems to have thoughts about you." ”

"Don't make a fuss, who would be interested in a blind man." The blind girl replied with a smile, but the hand on her knee was clenched subconsciously, but not excited, but nervous.

Stemming from her own special talent, she had a faint sense that the person opposite seemed to have bad intentions towards her.

……

Thea. Hugo

Born in the capital of the kingdom.

Biological father Jeffrey. Hugo, a timber merchant in Turin, and his biological mother Rose. White, Turin's military minister, Crow. White's youngest daughter

There is a younger sister who died at the age of three.

She studied at the Royal Women's College in Turin every day, with a gentle personality and a talent for the eye of the soul.

Interested in world history and mystical elements, he longs for light and finds a solution to his natural eye disease

When I was seven years old, I was lost on the street, but I was rescued by you, and I have always been grateful for this.

Three days later, I was going to visit the private cemetery of Mount Oliver outside Turin.

……

"Saved by me?"

Staring at this line of words, Charles was a little stunned.

He carefully recalled the memories of the original owner, and after a while, his face couldn't help but change.

It's small, but it seems to be the case.

"Am I too sensitive to co-authorship......?"

Speechless. But after thinking about it, he didn't throw the card away, but put it in his pocket.

He had already planned that if the blind girl really discovered his secret, then no matter how innocent she was, no matter how kind and gentle the personality was, he would have to get rid of it - the necromancer couldn't come openly, but the dark means were.

"Not anymore."

Somewhat relieved, he washed his hands in the lavatory, and then returned to his seat.

And so, the boring chatter began again.

It's not that he's interested in conversation, it's mainly that the woman in the red dress from the Foreign Secretary's family always asks this and that.

One would ask him if he knew anyone, and the other would ask him about his hobbies, even the experience of Charles being sent to the frontier.

In this regard, Charles could only try to fool the past as much as possible, and answered many questions in a light way.

So much so that the other party's eyes looking at him gradually became a little wrong.

Finally, she asked suddenly.

"Why do you do it?"

"What?" Charles raised an eyebrow.

"I didn't think it was gentlemanly at all."

"Yes." Charles smiled and said, "When you've experienced the beauty of soaring through the sky, do you still bother to figure out how to walk to look better?" ”

"What do you mean?" The woman in the red dress was puzzled.

"It's nothing," Charles shrugged, "I mean, I've already fought once anyway, so I might as well fight again." ”

If she had heard this before, she would have provoked some disdain, but now she just smiled, thinking that his sense of humor was the fault.

After that, they chatted for a long time, until the sun went up, and this was the end of this rather "pleasant" conversation.

……

"I really feel like he's very different from what other people say."

After getting into the carriage, I saw the two Cranston brothers standing side by side through the car window, and the girl in the red dress chirped:

"He's really gentlemanly, uh, no, he's usually very personable, but sometimes he's more ...... Dashing? ”

"And he's also assertive, not at all like some people, we say what we say."

"In short, he should be a good person, and there must be a reason for hitting people."

"You didn't say that this morning."

The blind girl sitting across from her responded slightly absent-mindedly.

"That's just a one-sided impression." The woman in the red dress replied, and then sighed: "I confess that I made an unbearable mistake and did not know anything about someone before judging him, or rather, never really understood that person. ”

"So do you understand now?"

"Of course, oh no, I mean, I know a little bit."

The blind girl sighed when she heard this, thinking of the emotions she felt, and said inexplicably: "Things can't just look at the surface. ”
