Chapter 130: Meet Again

"Elaine just came to Paris and started volunteering here!"

The Holy Lily is full of approval, which shows that Elaine has a good heart and is not a hypocrite!

"If there's anything you need me to do, just ask!"

Downton sat on the bench, the late autumn sun shining through the sparse foliage, leaving dappled shadows on the floor.

"You're welcome!"

Holy Lily sat next to her, watching Elaine play with the orphans.

The two of them didn't speak, so the atmosphere was silent, but there was no embarrassment, but there was a tacit understanding that made people feel like a spring breeze.

Saint Lily turned his head sideways, glanced at Downton, and found that he looked at Elaine and the group of children, his eyes were full of pampering, and he couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, Saint Lily somewhat understood why Twilight liked this man, and if other people traveled with him, he would definitely seize the opportunity to show his meticulous care for those orphans, but he didn't, because his concern was subtle.

"This is a simple man, maybe he can really help me!"

Holy Lily groaned.

A group of seven or eight-year-olds suddenly ran in from the hallway, followed by two young girls.

"Slow down and be careful of wrestling!"

Margaret hurried after her, her face full of worry.

"Be quiet, it will disturb other people's naps!"

Lorraine warned.

"Hmm!"

The children said yes, but after only a few seconds, they shouted again, and it was too hard to silence the monkeys.

"Lord Downton?"

Margaret saw Downton sitting on the bench, a happy smile appeared on her face, and she instinctively ran a few steps, and then froze in place.

"Huh? Why are you here?"

Lorraine waved her hand and said hello.

"Lorraine!"

Downton was a little surprised, he didn't expect to see the literary girl here, she was the raunchy dress, cargo suspenders with a linen shirt, and her long black hair was tied into a ponytail. Resting on the back of his head, his face is a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

Under the girl's arm, she held two books, and an intellectual aura came to her face.

Margaret's face was full of disappointment, and Downton really didn't remember herself.

"Let's go, why are you in a daze? didn't you want to see him a long time ago?" Lorraine nudged the Lady of the Camellias.

"But ......"

Margaret had low self-esteem, and after the events of that night, she already knew Downton's identity, the Hand of the King in Frankfurt, the Speaker of NATO, the First Nova of the North, whatever the title. It's all the storage zร i she needs to admire.

By the way, even the dream lover of men all over the continent, Princess Sissi, is chasing him, what is he? I don't even have the qualifications to like him.

"It's nothing, if he looks down on you, I'll beat him!" Lorraine waved her little fist and pulled Margaret to run, "Hey, great writer." Have you seen any big things come out late?"

Seeing the two girls talking to Downton, Elaine immediately glanced over. made an evaluation, although the civilian girl is good, but there is no shortage of this kind of around her brother, but it is the girl with glasses, her appearance is very good, not to mention beautiful. That literary temperament is too lethal.

Elaine knows that her brother likes this type of girl the most, and she has no resistance to literary girls at all.

"I've been busy recuperating lately!" Downton replied, looking at Margaret and thanking him solemnly. "Last time, it was really thanks to you. โ€

"No, no, I didn't do anything!"

Margaret hurriedly waved her hand, and kept bending down and bowing, "It's me who should thank you, I will return the money to you!"

"No, I might have died without your warning. โ€

Downton is not joking, in hindsight, he is still in a cold sweat, it is an unguardable skinner, with his drunken state, there is only a dead end to being targeted.

"Alright, don't thank you!" Lorraine stopped the two of them, "Her name is Margaret, and she's my new friend!"

"Hello, I'm Downton, and this is Saint Lily!"

Downton introduced both sides.

"Holy ...... Holy Maiden?"

When Margaret heard the name, she almost peed in fright, and was about to kneel.

"Everyone is a friend, no need to be polite!"

Holy Lily pulled the Lady of the Camellias.

Margaret's lips trembled, her mind was completely confused, she didn't know what to say, with her lowly status, only during the grand ceremony, she could squeeze in the crowd, and she looked at the saint from a distance, she was not qualified to approach.

"You're overworked, your body is overdrawn, you should rest more!"

Holy Lily waved her hand and treated the hidden illness of the Lady of the Camellias.

"This ...... Is this the Holy Light?" Margaret felt the warmth on her body, and the tiredness of the past was swept away, and she couldn't help but be excited, and she wanted to kneel down again, "Thank you...... Thank you...... Holy Maiden!"

"Don't kneel!"

Downton grabbed Margaret and his fingertips touched, causing the Camellias to blush on her face.

"I'm Downton's number one fan, Lorraine Sasha, you can call me Lorraine!"

Lorraine generously stretched out her hand towards Saint Lily, which is how this guy sometimes goes off the line.

"Hello!"

Because she had the same name as the Miracle Saintess, Saint Lily couldn't help but look at her a few more times, but she didn't find anything wrong.

"Fans, admirers, oh no!"

Elaine is like a great enemy, in case this woman throws herself into her arms, what if her brother can't hold it?

As Downton's younger sister, Elaine felt that she was qualified to choose a wife for her brother, of course, she would never admit that she was selfish and didn't want her brother to have a girlfriend.

"Do you come here to volunteer regularly?"

In fact, looking at those orphans and the two of them familiar with Cheng Dรน, Downton already knew the answer.

"I don't have any money, I can't donate, so I can only do what I can!"

Margaret honestly confessed that she was a believer, no matter how tired she was, she would go to church every weekend to pray, and then come to volunteer at the Convent of Our Lady. It's been going on for five years.

The five of them chatted and the atmosphere was harmonious, so they didn't feel that time had passed, and when they came back to their senses, it was already dusk.

"I'll send you home!"

Looking at the fiery clouds in the sky, Downton took a deep breath.

Although Margaret repeatedly refused. However, he was still pulled into the carriage by Elaine and Lorraine, the latter is a self-acquaintance, and does not look at the occasion, and has been pulling Downton to talk about literature.

St. Lily has received the best education, so she is very knowledgeable, and any topic can be carried on, Elaine is not bad, and Downton has a large library. There was also Homer's mentor, who was also an erudite, and Margaret was out of place in comparison.

Listening to those words that she didn't understand at all, the Lady of the Camellias felt inferior.

"I think being able to support myself and my family is the most important thing!"

While Downton coping with Lorraine, he also diverted the topic and talked about his experiences as a teenager. Relieve Margaret's mood.

Listening to Downton's gentle words, Saint Lily chuckled. He was indeed a gentle man.

As dusk was about to pass, the carriage entered the southern quarter, a plebeian neighborhood where the lower classes of Paris lived.

A lavishly decorated carriage suddenly drove in, followed by a group of knights in helmets and armor, causing the surrounding civilians to stretch their heads and look around. You must know that usually, the biggest person they see is the sheriff.

"It's just ahead, just around that corner!"

Margaret showed the way.

"Huh?"

Downton frowned because after turning the corner. He saw a large crowd in front of him, and the sound of shouting and cursing was coming from inside.

Without Elaine's orders, one of the knights had already accelerated and rushed over.

Listening to the crisp sound of horses' hooves stomping on the street, the crowd of onlookers hurriedly lowered their heads to give way, they did not want to be whipped.

"What's going on?"

The knight asked.

"Daddy!"

The crowd dodged away, and Margaret saw several big men kicking around her father, beating him to the point that his head was bleeding, and she cried out, and then opened the car door and jumped off.

"Be careful!"

Downton jumped after that.

"Dad, please, stop fighting!"

Margaret pounced and lay on top of her father, preferring to be injured herself to protect him, but several men did not dare to do it, they all had eyes, and when they saw the girl get out of the luxurious carriage, they all endured it no matter what.

"My lord, this gambler owes us a lot of money, and this is just debt collection!"

The man at the head nodded and explained to the knight, but his face kept arguing with Downton, and his attitude was humble.

It is natural to repay debts, but in fact, there is no way to interfere, and he looked at Downton.

"How much does he owe you?"

Downton frowned.

"Fifty thousand gold coins!"

As soon as the man's words came out, the onlookers gasped with shocked faces, not to mention 50,000 gold coins, even 10,000 gold, which was enough for them to live happily for several years.

"Father, why are you gambling again?"

Margaret cried very sadly, why didn't her father fight for it?

"I want to turn over the book and win you a big house so that you can enjoy a happy life. โ€

This man is also a cunning bastard, and when he says such touching words, he does not forget to peek at Downton and guess his relationship with his daughter.

"Take the money, get out!"

Downton took out his wallet and handed it to the guys with a stack of golden tickets.

"Thank you, sir!"

Without waiting for the father of the Camellia Lady to thank her, her stepmother rushed out of the room, she had been peeping in it just now~ peeping, seeing that the crisis was lifted, and guessing that this was the generous man who rewarded her daughter last time, so she hurriedly came out to make a familiar face.

A few moneylenders didn't dare to take it.

"The Holy See prohibits gambling, not to mention usury!" St. Lily walked down, "Arrest them and send them to a labor camp!"

Although this is a regulation of the Holy See, gambling cannot be completely prohibited at all, and the Holy Lily usually turns a blind eye, and when they bumped into it today, it can only be said that these people are unlucky.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The knights gathered around.

Saint!

When these guys saw that it was the saint who spoke, their legs trembled with fright, and they didn't dare to run away, so they knelt down directly.

The civilians didn't expect the saint to appear here, and after the shock, they fell to their knees.

That stepmother was also scared!(To be continued......)
