Night, a time suitable for the secret to take place.

Fran had a rough day.

First, he discovered that his fiancée was actually approaching him with a special purpose, and it was very likely that she was taken by an evil spirit (the wizard does not recognize heaven and hell, but the underworld and evil spirits).

Then the words were inappropriate, and offended the Baron Wellingborough, who was eager to help him.

It was only after he calmed down in the afternoon and recalled the details that he figured things out.

At the opera house, he spent the whole night exchanging technical and other topics with Kane, and he didn't even leave his seat during the intermission.

In this context, the likelihood of Kane hooking up with Charlotte during the short time after the opera is too low, after all, there was still Baroness Lydia at the time.

"Why am I so demented, why do I feel like I'm not me when I see Charlotte in person?"

With such a question, he rang the bell and asked Veronica to be invited.

Ever since Veronica rescued the old marquis, she has become a special member of the Carrett family, and she is the family's medical advisor and enjoys the treatment of family members. This was even part of the old marquis's medical orders.

Veronica's special abilities aren't a cure-all, but Veronica has at least discovered an abnormality in him.

Veronica's voice was soft and cold, without a hint of emotional warmth: "Master, your situation is very similar to the cases I have heard of being entangled by the 'Thorn of Lust', it is a combination of curses and oaths, which is extremely difficult to break, you need to remember whether you have been deceived and swore or made a promise." ”

Fran wants to cry, so do you need to say it?

How did the title 'fiancée' come about? Of course, it was a promise made during the heat of love!

He was chased by a big beauty who was flattered by Quyi, all kinds of flying, and he didn't swear too much when he was happy, and he couldn't remember which one caused the spell effect.

Fran understands that Charlotte has become his nemesis, and it is easy to lose his mind because of his emotions.

This was so terrible that he summoned Pan Milla and told her that Charlotte and his henchmen should be more careful, and that it was most likely an evil spirit.

As a result, Panmira was angry with him again.

The woman even questioned his actions to his face, believing that he did not have enough respect for Ryan, who died violently.

He was laughed at at the time.

The dead are worry-free, and the living need to solve various problems.

Which is more important, does it still need to be debated?

Second, when did a servant be able to question his master's behavior in such a way?

Fran said in his heart: "Ryan lost his wife, you took advantage of the weakness to enter, he spoiled you, I don't care." Now that I'm in charge, I won't allow you to be so big or small. ”

But on the outside, there is still a lack of toughness, he explained: "Ryan died violently, and it really needs to be investigated." I solved my own difficult things in order to get out as soon as possible and devote myself to the investigation of the truth. Your letter mentions Ryan's will, and I want to see it now, and when I can exercise the power of the head of the house, I can put an end to this chaotic situation and work together. ”

Fran's performance was exchanged for Panmela's toughness, she said that the affairs of the house were in order and there was no chaos, and the top priority now was to treat Ryan's funeral and find out the facts of the case.

Fran, who was already angry, exploded on the spot. He asked Panmilla, "Where is this?"

"Crimson Hills, Marquis Scarborough's Palace?"

"Who belongs here?"

"Marquis of Scartero, the Carrett family. ”

"And what's your last name?"

"Farmer. ”

"So, first, you are not Carret, and second, you are the descendant of a farmer, what right do you have to make decisions for the Carrett family?"

Pan Milla replied: "This is the ...... of the Marquis's Palace"

Fran interrupted directly: "What are the rules of the Marquis's Mansion, it is up to the people of the Marquis' Mansion to decide, not you, whether it is to go to the Ministry of Magic to fight a lawsuit or a lawsuit to Queen Victoria, you, as a servant, are not qualified to be the master of the master's family." Bring me the testamentary papers, and get out of Crimson Hills!"

Panmela said indifferently: "Master, you are not the Marquis of Scarborough now, and you have no authority to change the rules of the Marquis's Mansion. ”

Fran was furious and cold: "If you want to say that, Panmila, the Caret family has a long heritage, above the world, and neither its head nor the clan is left to the hands of a subordinate. In the future, it's not as simple as you leaving Crimson Hills. ”

"Whatever the outcome, I'm willing to bear it," said Panmila. I only want to take care of my lord's death, and we all know what you have done that is not ......."

In such a situation, Fran was okay for a while.

Since he left home to start his own business, the personnel of the Marquis Mansion has changed greatly, and familiar faces are almost impossible to see.

Many servants were obedient to the rules of Panmilla, and before he officially inherited the throne, it was easy for him to be disgraced by Panmilla, after all, his relatives would take the opportunity to make trouble.

After falling out with Pampilla and falling out on an unhappy basis, Fran becomes more aware of the importance of allies.

He decided to apologize to Kane and explain how he had suffered from the 'Thorn of Lust'.

Speaking from the heart, Fran felt that this was actually a kind of low voice.

I'm a wizard, or a pure-blood, noble by nature, and you're just a mortal.

I was young and promising, and I made a lot of money after I left home. What about you? You're my age, and you're still fooling around with the girl. After eating salt for more than ten years, I woke up to the taste.

I'm the one who is about to become a marquis, and you're nothing more than a baron......

And all of this, in the final analysis, is one sentence: he is jealous of Kane's talent and ability.

In a way, Kane's performance in 1853 did go too far.

In a very short period of time, he brought too much eye-catching information to the upper class of London.

This may not be a big deal in modern times, and people are used to being shocked by a lot of information. But not in this era.

Even if they believe in science and are open to new things. But there is still a difference with modern people's thinking, which can be seen from the rhythm of life.

In order to achieve his goal (a gorgeous return in a short time), Kane was already very eye-catching, and he chatted with Fran about technology, economics, politics, and insights, and he was full of dry goods, which was too overwhelming.

Kane hadn't thought of that, he was ambitious and knowledgeable, and he didn't think it was anything, but it was too shocking to give Fran's senses.

Now that the British Empire is at the forefront of the world's technology, Fran feels good, like the Silicon Valley elite at some point in modern times. The result was compared comprehensively, how could the young and vigorous Fran not be pantothenic at all?

As a result, Kane didn't show up at the dinner party.

Fran, who has average gas and is in a sensitive period, is more attentive again, thinking that this is Kane's expression of daytime unhappiness.

Fran thought for a moment, "What does Ted Auston have to do with me? I haven't known each other for a few days, so I'll show you tonight, alas......"

In addition, there was one more thing, and that was that the Ministry of Magic did not come, but only a letter.

The meaning of the letter is: ordinary wizards, we can manage it, pure-blood magnates, if you have any questions, please contact the pure-blood federation.

The wizarding world is a microcosm of the real world.

In the real world of this era, Queen Victoria is still very powerful. France was in the midst of a revolution, but now it was in the midst of a period of restoration, and in December 1852, Napoleon III proclaimed himself emperor and established the Second French Empire......

And the wizarding world is half a beat slower than the secular world.

During this period, the Ministry of Magic was really a dog raised by wizards and magnates, for ordinary wizards to see: we are not feudal anymore, we are also democratic......

In this context, the Ministry of Magic will only respond to the scene after the dust settles, and will not really get involved in the inheritance process, which is too taboo! To put it mildly, how much money do you give to let others drip into such troubled waters?

In fact, this is the characteristic of the powerful, who are not bound by ordinary laws and are not protected by them.

The European continent, which was founded by feudal states, has never jumped out of this pit from ancient times to the present. Especially if this kind of predecessor dies violently, it is almost inevitable that a big drama will be staged.

When the fight is over, give the melon-eating people an explanation from the perspective of the law, such as who is corrupt and bribe-taking, who is not in good faith, and dies violently, so as to show that we are also governed by the law and have no privileges......

At this time, Fran felt that he usually did not pay attention to the disadvantages of not paying attention to socialization.

He was now isolated, lacking powerful allies in both the wizarding and secular worlds.

Although his relatives may not be doing well, but now he is the one who wants inheritance and profit, and it is natural for people to form a hidden alliance to gnaw meat from him.

At the dinner, his Muggle sister said that after inheriting the title, it would be inconvenient to take care of the secular textile factory, and it happened that her husband had the leisure and ability......

This is not only the wealth of the marquis's family, but also his own part of the income.

Subtext: The Marquis of Scarborough has been in your vein since then, is it not worth spending a few more dollars to get such a privilege?

As soon as he thought of this, Fran confessed.

He really needs allies right now, and he even feels like his life is in danger!

After all, he tore his face with Panmilla, and the subordinates here obeyed Panmilla, and who did he have? The sinister fiancée and his accomplices, or the coachman who had followed him for many years?

Come to think of it, the Baron of Wellingborough is the least bad choice.

After dinner, Fran paced around the room for a long time before deciding to see Kane overnight.

Kane was really tired.

The power of darkness in the night was abundant in his favor.

And the dark power of Crimson Villa is particularly strong, but it is very complicated.

That alone reminded Kane of some possibilities.

He woke up at 22 o'clock, and the intense power of darkness hastened his recovery. But it also makes him less and less human, and he doesn't look like he was in his 30s when he first returned, but at least 50 years old.

Even Fran, who was preoccupied, noticed the problem and asked in surprise.

Kane laughed, "Remember the longevity potion I told me about in the morning?"

As he spoke, he took the medicine Maria handed over, took it orally, and soon his condition recovered.

After that, he said to Maria a little harshly: "Arthur, what did I tell you?

Fran hurriedly dissuaded: "It's because I didn't let Arthur wake you up and wanted you to sleep a little longer." ”

Kane nodded and said to Maria, "Don't be so rude in the future, what qualifications do I have to let the Marquis wait?"

Turning to Fran and smiling, "How is it, Lord Marquis, have you come to ask me to share in the joy of succession? ”

"Ted, we'd better call it by name. Besides, I didn't inherit the throne. ”

"Oh?" Kane frowned, "Looks like something is wrong." Interested in talking?"

"You haven't eaten dinner yet, so you might as well eat some of them while they're still hot. ”

"To be honest, food isn't that important to me anymore. I was actually running out of time, and if it hadn't been for the chance to learn that my mother and wife were on the verge of living on the streets in a foreign land, I would have left them with an unknown thought than a definite message. ”

Fran was moved: "This is the case!"

"People need to be held accountable for what they do. I ruined my body in my early years, and I only thought about starting a business from scratch in a foreign land in middle age, how can I do it without paying the price?"

Kane's speech has a kind of simple but not lacking in wisdom, combined with his calm attitude and just the right body movements, it is full of contagion, which makes people subconsciously want to believe.

Fran was ashamed of his previous sordid thoughts.

He thought to himself, "So Ted Auston is already like this, and he is willing to help me, but I am sensitive to suspicion of this and that." ”

Kane then changed the subject: "Okay, my business is too depressing, let's talk about your situation." The Carrett family needs a wise and practical head to revitalize it. ”

Fran decided to tell his ......
