Hearing Ramrem's words, Victoria was stunned for a long time, and her mouth was open but she couldn't speak. She stared blankly at Ramrem, not knowing whether to ask her if she was joking.

"You must have heard Madame say that you have a half-brother and a half-sister. Ramrem saw Victoria's expression, and his small mouth pursed even tighter, as if he was deliberately telling others that she was hiding her inner pleasure.

Victoria still didn't slow down, for her, the daily life is to slip away from her mother's side, sneak out into the street to be chic and relaxed, occasionally look at her father's work and her mother's smile, this is almost the carefree days she has always had. But now Ramrem suddenly told her that her brother and sister, whom she had never met, were here, and she was not at all ready for the change.

Looking at Victoria's appearance, Ramrem smiled happily. She actually liked to play tricks on this young lady, although she usually didn't laugh when she saw Victoria embarrassed, but this time she couldn't help it.

After a long time, Victoria seemed to be deflated, and the whole person suddenly relaxed, and collapsed weakly on the carriage seat. She looked at Ramrem, blinked, and barely spoke: "I first learned about it when I was five years old, when Wood came to visit our house, and he accidentally said it while he was talking to his mother. I remember my mother was very sad and cried a lot, and Wood regretted talking about it, and then he never talked about it in front of her again. I didn't think about these questions all the time, thinking that I could go on like this without worrying about it. Sure enough, this is impossible. ”

"Haven't you thought about your twin sister?" asked Ramrem with interest, "I have heard that twins have a special connection with each other, and you have not thought about what kind of person she is, and how much she resembles herself." ”

"How could I not have thought about it. Victoria smiled wryly and said, "Actually, I have always thought about my sister, after all, we are twins! After all, how embarrassing it would be for him to have a wife before him. ”

"But that brother of yours has already visited Madame. ”

"What!" Victoria was taken aback.

And the two of them talked ...... Well, I'm kind of happy. ”

"How is that possible?" cried Victoria, in disbelief, "but mother, mother, hasn't she always been sad about this? ”

"What do you mean, that your father had a wife and gave birth to a son, and then abandoned his ex-wife and married your mother to a new love?" Ramrem narrowed his eyes with a threatening look.

"Isn't it, isn't it......" Victoria's voice fell, and Ramrem was embarrassed to say it so bluntly.

"I don't think so, if anything, Madame is not such a cautious person, she is much more open-minded than Mister. I think what makes her sad is that she has to send a daughter away. ”

"But," Victoria looked at Ramrem suspiciously, and she couldn't help but feel that her maid seemed to know more than she did, "isn't it because the grandfather in the country is old, and the father and mother want to let a child go over to accompany him? However, this was their initiative to come up, could it be that the mother did not agree to it, and the father forcibly sent it over?"

"Well," Ramrem sighed, but not much, "you don't know anything, you don't know anything." But don't know, this kind of day may be more suitable for you. ”

Victoria felt that Ramrem was treating her like a child, and she was a little upset. "Then tell me that, since you know so much. She angrily threw out at Ramrem.

"Someday you will know," Ramrem smiled mysteriously, "when the truth and the choice are laid out before you." ”

When Swin came out of the cloakroom to change his clothes, he saw the butler waiting for him in the hallway.

"What's the matter?"

"As for your room," the butler bowed respectfully, "do you want to pick now?, for the temperature in the imperial capital is very low at night, and the room and bed can be warmer if you prepare early." Although his words and tone were respectful, the meaning was obvious, he was urging Swain.

"Did Sophia pick it?" Swain didn't reply, but instead asked another question.

The butler always had no clue about Swain's leapfrog thinking, so he had no choice but to reply, "Yes, it's the one facing north in the middle of the second floor." ”

"Isn't that already chosen? ”

"Huh...... What do you mean?" the butler was stunned for a moment, not understanding.

"Don't you understand?" Swain's tone still didn't fluctuate, but the butler had a faint sense that it was like a prelude to a storm, "Sophia's room is my room, can you finally understand that?"

The butler froze for a moment, and though he was sure that Sven was not a joker or a childish man, he still felt that it should not be literal. "You mean, you're with Miss?" asked the butler cautiously, still not sure what Sven meant.

"Or else?" was already a little disgruntled in Swain's flat tone, "Is the work of managing this mansion too heavy for you to afford?"

Is he threatening to dismiss me? The butler suddenly panicked in his heart, and he maintained a posture of bowing his head and bending over, for fear that Swain would see his face and eyes at this moment. Damn, bastard, if he dares to do this, I will go to the newspaper office to expose his affair with his own sister, and make this arrogant boy a scandal throughout the empire.

"Anything else?"

Sven's cold voice interrupted the butler's thoughts, and he didn't dare to anger Sven anymore, so he obediently stepped aside to make way for Sven.

Sven took two steps forward, then stopped in front of the butler, looking at the man with a frown.

"Your face is very bad. ”

Sven dropped this sentence, and the butler, whose face was even worse, but still maintained a bent posture in the corridor for a long time.

When Sven arrived at the restaurant, Sophia was still waiting for her brother and didn't start first.

Swain sat down at the head of the table and said simply, "Eat." ”

"Elder brother is going to ...... today Mother?" Sophia still didn't move, just looked at her brother and asked calmly.

"Hmm. ”

"Can you talk to me......" Sophia hesitated, "Mother?"

Sven stopped his movements and looked at Sophia. His gaze was filled with pity, and he looked at his sister lovingly with the tenderness of his brother.

"That's a good lady. For her, I didn't think she was hateful until I met her, but I didn't have much affection either. But today, she struck me...... "Swain muttered for a moment, as if thinking of words, "I guess she doesn't look like my sister's mother at all." ”

Sophia couldn't help but be stunned, this assessment could be good or bad, but at least she didn't feel any bad feelings for the lady from her brother now.

"Ah, not only looks, but even her speech and actions, and perhaps even her heart, she is only like a little girl, not like a mother, not a lady. ”

Hearing Sven's explanation, Sophia breathed a sigh of relief.

"Very innocent, very lovely lady, you can't imagine what kind of person she is until you see her. Of course, she is also beautiful, with impressive charm, milky white hair that you have never seen before, and her eyes, just like yours. ”

Hearing her brother's praise, Sophia blushed a little.

"So, have you seen my sister?"

Swain looked at Sophia's expectant eyes and shook her head.

"yes, that's a pity. Sophia felt a little disappointed.

"We'll see you always. ”

Sophia understood that Swain was comforting herself, although there were always not many words and no particularly gentle tone, Sophia had long been accustomed to Swain's unique love.

"Well, I'm looking forward to it. ”

More than 50 kilometers to the east, is Glamorgan. Glamorgan was one of the earliest territories of the Empire, and during the reign of the Kingdom of Dekhbas, Glamorgan was the county's closest county to the capital city of Dwed. Due to its proximity to the capital, Glamorgan has been one of the most important areas in Germany since the time of the Kingdom of Dehebas. Edney Wayne I succeeded his mother, King Essini, and thus became the king of the Great Empire of the North Sea. After the dissolution of the Great North Sea Empire, Edney Wayne I canonized Alain Philip, the illegitimate son of the Duke of Pritown, as the Earl of Glamorgan, on the grounds of robbing the Duke of Pritown inherited by the cousin of the previous duke. From there, Glamorgan began a bloody history.

The Earl of Glamorgan rarely had a good death. Since Alain S. Since Philip, this curse has been accompanied by successive Earls of Glamorgan, not only the Earl of Glamorgan himself, but also his family often suffers bad luck, so that since Edney Wayne I canonized Alain, the successive Earls of Glamorgan have changed twenty-seven, and most of these twenty-seven earls died unexpectedly, and even the title can rarely be passed down, especially in recent years, the county of Glamorgan has basically been taken into the hands of the royal family, and until recently it was canonized Max Simian, the head of the Hecate family, as the latest Earl of Glamorgan. After Earl Hecate accepted the title and fief of Earl Glamorgan, many people speculated about how long the Earl would be able to live this glorious life......

As the closest county to the imperial capital, Glamorgan also benefited a lot, and the capital city of Morgan became a satellite city of the imperial capital, and a large number of factories were set up in this closest city to the imperial capital. However, the residence of the Earls of Glamorgan was not in the capital city, but in the castle where the Counts of Glamorgan lived, Fort Govélen.

"It's a hard job. ”

The moonlight cast from the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him plated Maxsimian Noe Heckat's dark red evening gown with a silver sand and a deep dark red that was more elegant. The Earl of Hecate is over forty years old this year, and the corners of his eyes are slightly wrinkled, but compared to his old state, the years in him reflect more grinding and firmness. He had a small elegant beard on his chin, and his hair had been carefully groomed, not like some middle-aged people who had lost their ugly appearance, and his hair still had the graceful demeanor of youth, if the hair was longer, it would look like a young man, but the Count paid great attention to his appearance, and his bangs were deliberately combed to the side so that he did not cover his eyebrows.

The Earl was sitting in his office at the moment, meeting his subordinates who had only returned after nightfall. Behind his desk are floor-to-ceiling windows that replace the walls, and at current market prices, so much glass is a lot of money. However, although the latest floor-to-ceiling window structure is used instead of the traditional windows, the room does have a traditional aristocratic decoration style, with beautifully printed wallpaper plastered all over the room, the floor covered with expensive fabrics shipped from the East, and the walnut desk in front of him, which is also a refined retro-style furniture, and the panels are decorated with solid gold lion reliefs, which is quite magnificent.

And standing in front of him was Manfred, who had just visited Swain today. Manfred has a peculiar temperament at night, and in the moonlight, he no longer looks like the gentle gentleman of the day, but also has an aristocratic elegance. And his height beyond ordinary people made it impossible for the moonlight to shine on his face, and his unique face was hidden in the shadows.

"It's just a matter of duty. His tone was flat, calm and elegant, but not as gentle as the day.

"Tell me about the Midnight Earl, what an enviable man, who has the name of an earl and a large territory at such a young age. ”

"If you're going to ask me to judge him, I think he's a smart guy who doesn't care about disguising himself at all. ”

"Oh, it's sharp, isn't it? But young people are like that, they don't like to hide their talents, so we need to remind them. ”

"No, I don't think so. The young count did not want to prove himself, but did not care about others at all. For him, the nobleman's most important interpersonal relationship is only his tool. He can be like a machine, interpreting the etiquette rules of the social arena perfectly, but you can tell at a glance that he is not sincere. He doesn't care about dealing with other people, and he looks down on his interlocutor with a peculiar arrogance: I talk to you, but you don't deserve my friendship. ”

Count Hecate's left hand was clenched into a fist and covered his mouth. He frowned as he pondered Manfred's words, he had to figure out what kind of person Count Midnight was, which was what he had to do as the head of the Thirteenth Division.

"So, he wouldn't care about our warnings?"

"Our warning is not worth much attention to him, Your Excellency. ”

"Forget it. Count Hecate shook his head and gave up on continuing to worry about the matter, "We just need to keep watching him, after all, we don't have the right to dispose of the Jericho family." How's Artemis doing today?"

"I think you should know. She didn't like this kind of work. ”

Count Hecate sighed helplessly. "It's really hard to help. In short, please continue to help her in the future. ”

"It's my duty. Manfred bowed to the Chief. He saw what Count Hecate meant to let him step down, and he took it away.

And when he walked out of Count Hecate's office, he saw a teenager in the corridor looking at him.

"Yang. Manfred smiled playfully.
