Chapter 19: Dark Tide

Carlos Hill had woken up on a goose-down bed by the sunny windowsill, and unlike the aristocratic youth who had grown up in a pampered environment in the Empire, his deceased father had disciplined him since he was a child, trying to raise him as a noble knight. Therefore, he never pampered him, and he also developed a self-disciplined life and rest.

Early in the morning, Carlos would change into an elaborate aristocratic costume and go to the bathroom to wash up, after which he would be led by the butler to the dining room, where he would wait for his sister Charlotte Hill to dine with him. His sister was often late for snooze, and Carlos didn't care, as he often kept his head in his head while he waited.

Today may be because of the blue sky outside, and Charlotte got up on time. As soon as she entered, she sat down next to Carlos, stretched lazily, and said hello, "Good morning, brother!" and "Good morning, sister." ”

Charlotte found that her breakfast was placed in the opposite corner by the servant, and said angrily to the maid, "Charlie, you put my plate so far away!" The maid replied timidly.

"He's my sweet brother, can't I talk to him more? I can't just shout to talk to him?" complained Charlotte. "Sister, I'm a little embarrassed to say that. Xia Li, just do what my sister says, you go down!"

When the maid Xia Li saw the young master relieving her, she saluted gratefully and withdrew from the dining room with the maids.

Charlotte and the other maids left the dining room, put away their gloom, and changed back to their usual ladylike appearance, she inserted a small piece of almond pudding and put it in her lips, and showed a satisfied look on her face, after eating, she did not praise the chef's exquisite skills, but talked about other things: "My brother, this afternoon is the day when our uncle has come to visit, since my father died, he has coveted our family's property, and now our sister and brother are still young, and he has given him a reason to intervene in our family affairs!"

Ever since Russell drank the tea his sister recommended to him last time, he had been hooked on this drink from the East. He took a slow sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said to his sister: "I also understand that our main family is in decline, so I organized a fairly capable aristocratic talent in the imperial capital and established a club to increase our influence. ”

"But our club isn't fully formed, is it?"

"So to speak. I have prepared a backhand, you should know that my uncle is a gentleman, and the property of the royal family is not enough for him to lose, and he is particularly aggressive, so for the sake of the peace of the family, grandpa gave him a settling-in fee for him to kick out of the Hill family. ”

"I know that, too. ”

"According to the information passed on to me by my informant, I found that after he quit the family, he quickly squandered his property, and when he was in trouble, an organization found him, helped him through the difficulties, and also gave him a circle of real power figures, so that he could regain his strength, and thus have the opportunity to threaten our Hill family. ”

"You never told me this, what kind of organization is this, so powerful?"

Charlotte felt a little hungry, he picked up the white bread, took a bite, and said indistinctly: "This organization is called the Secret Hand, I wasn't sure of its existence before, this organization is too deeply hidden, and I have only been completely sure of its existence in the past few months." And this information is the key point of our uncle. ”

"Are you going to report to the royal family?" Charlotte wondered.

"Of course, I guess the imperial family has also noticed the traces of these disgusting bugs, and if my uncle is not too aggressive, I don't plan to use this killer trick. Don't worry, sister, I will take care of our family. ”

Charlotte smiled and touched Carlos's head, Carlos said "don't make trouble" while dodging, Charlotte laughed and touched his head hard, still didn't mean to let him go.
