85_85536 In this way, Miss Charlumi made a tense face and asked the servants to take her big bag and go downstairs. And then stuffed these big bags and small bags into the two wagons. The little maid asked timidly:

"Are you really going to leave without saying hello?" and glared at her fiercely. The little maid was so frightened that she almost cried.

And just like that, Mademoiselle Countess got into the carriage. With her servants, there was also a squad of cavalry heading in the direction of the Chersk Countdom in the south. William and Baron Otto, right by the window, watched the convoy leave.

"I'm sorry, father. William hung his head and said to Baron Otto.

Just now, he had carefully worded his words, and in as subtle a tone as possible, he had told Baron Otto what Charlumi had said. After hearing this, the baron was speechless for a long time, and at last he sighed, shook his head, and then said as if he were talking to William, and as if talking to himself:

"After all, I owe this child...... I should have noticed that this kid was very sensitive. I should have cared for her a little more. ”

Baron Otto blamed himself in such a heavy tone that William felt a little embarrassed—indeed, Baron Otto was responsible. But William felt that Charlumi had become like this, and his responsibility was greater.

"So, that's it...... So be it. I'll write another letter to the kid in a few days. After all, we're still relatives, aren't we?" said Baron Otto.

William noticed a change in the wording of what his father said.

"Is that all?" he asked involuntarily.

"What?" Baron Otto asked rhetorically.

"I mean, that's it, father. We just watched her leave, indifferent?" said William, clenching his fists.

"So, what do you want to do, my son?" asked Baron Otto, turning his head to William.

“...... I ......" William opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

“...... Then forget it. Seeing that William did not speak, the baron said with a little disappointment.

Then William raised his head and looked him face to face with Baron Otto: "Father, what do you think I can do in this possible riot?"

"What do you mean, my child?" asked Baron Otto.

"I mean, if you and Uncle Konstantin could have dealt with this crisis without me?" asked William.

Hearing him say this, Baron Otto smiled, and he knew what William meant: "Of course it's okay. He said: "Konstantin and I were both killed from the pile of dead people. A mere riot that doesn't come out of the climate can't bother us. ”

"Then there will be no problem. Father. William seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said to Baron Otto.

"Don't you have to eat lunch?"

"Let's talk about it on the road. ”

"So...... Stay safe, my child. After saying this, Baron Otto stretched out his hand and took William in his arms: "No matter what, stay safe...... Also, take care of Shalumi. After saying this, Baron Otto kissed William's forehead.

Fifteen minutes later, William and John rode out of Hereford Castle at a gallop.

"Young Master, where are we going?" asked Little John, who was caught by William for some reason, inexplicably.

"Go where you should go!" William's reply made John feel even more inexplicable. Where to go? It's a very general question. At least John himself didn't think he could answer.

It wasn't long enough for William to answer, and little John understood where they were to go.

The speed of a carriage could not in any way be comparable to that of a horse. So after a while, sitting in the carriage, hungry and unhappy, I felt a headache and felt sleepy. Xia Lumi, who couldn't fall asleep from the bumps of the carriage and had bones all over her body, then heard movement behind her.

"Horse thief? It's not far from Hereford Castle. So the horsemen of the Hereford family, who were in a hurry, came to chase me, probably because my uncle had something else to say to me...... However, in any case, I don't have the face to go back. ”

She thought to herself, and then she opened the window of the carriage and poked her head out to look behind her.

Then I saw William.

“......”

Looking at each other, Charlumi blushed at that time. She immediately shrank back into the carriage, and then shouted to the carriage driver in front of her: "Hurry up, speed up!"

"Miss, that's all the speed can be, and—" The coachman who was talking also noticed the situation behind the carriage for a moment. At that time, I subconsciously slowed down and prepared to stop.

"I want you to speed up, why are you slowing down?!" said Xia Lumi, who felt the speed decreased, angrily and loudly. At the same time, the little maid beside her also poked her head out and looked behind:

"Isn't that Young Master William? Miss, Young Master William is here. ”

Hearing her say this, Xia Lumi didn't know what to say. opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything in the end, and his heart was also messy, so he simply lowered his head and stopped talking.

With that, the carriage stopped, and William and John Jr. jumped off their horses. After throwing the reins to little John and asking him to lead the horse, William walked two or three steps to the carriage. The discerning little maid immediately smiled and opened the door for William. After William got into the car, she lifted her skirt again and jumped down. Then, there were only two people in the carriage, William and Charlumie.

"All right, sir, keep driving. William smiled and nodded at the little maid who jumped out of the car. Then he closed the door and said to the driver in front of him. The coachman then raised his whip, whipped it in mid-air, and flicked it as a signal. The convoy began to move forward again.

Inside the carriage, William and Charlumie sat opposite each other. William looked at Charlumi with a smile on his face. Charlumi blushed and hung her head, not looking at William.

"How's it going?" William looked at Charlumie, his little hands clutching his skirt, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and a little trembling. William knew she wanted to laugh, but held back.

"What's that?" Charlumi turned her head away, continuing not to look at him. Then ask like this.

"Well. It's nothing. William did not continue on the subject as Charlumi had thought. Xia Lumi was not very happy, but also a little curious to raise her head and look over. It was found that William was no longer opposite her, but next to him.

Once next to her, William reached out and put his hand on the back of Charlumie's chair. The body also leaned over.

"What are you doing?" asked Charlumie.

"Isn't it welcome to go to your house?" asked William.

"What if it's not welcome?" said Charlumie, "Generally speaking, visits between nobles should be agreed in advance. How can there be anything like you who is casual and can go whenever you want. ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to give a little preferential treatment?" said William.

"So, why should I give you preferential treatment?" asked Charlumie.

"Because......" said William, "we are family, how about this reason?"

“......”

To William's slight surprise, after he uttered what he thought was the "right answer", Charlumi didn't immediately cheer or anything. Instead, he showed a slightly disappointed feeling, which was better than nothing.

"Yes...... Does Uncle want you to say that?" asked Charlumie, frowning.

"Of course not. William shook his head: "Here, here, it's enough to have a father and Uncle Konstantin, and I can't help much." So, I'm here myself, Miss Charlumie. ”

After saying this, Charlumie breathed a sigh of relief, and then pounced on William with a "hmm-" sound. The two men hugged each other.

"All in all, I apologize for what I'm sorry for you before. William said to Charlumie. After saying this, Xia Lumi's eyes turned red. I had to punch William's back harder and harder. The thrashing was so hard that William could barely stand it......"

It was precisely because William had been beaten so badly that he could not hear what Charlumi had said, which was similar to what William meant...... Of course, it could also be because Charlumi spoke in a small voice:

"Me too, I'm sorry. ”

While slapping William's back, Charlumi said .......
