With that, Lucia turned her gaze to Einstein, and her seemingly featureless gesture was actually suggesting that Einstein was following her words. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After listening to Lucia's explanation, Ludwig glanced up at Einstein and saw that the Leosa was smiling and slitting his throat, which caused a cold snap to crawl on Ludwig's back, and only now did he realize that he was so close to death.

Ludwig was casually dismissed, only once Lucia turned her attention to Victoria.

"And what about you, little one, would you like to stay here?"

Victoria, cowered in Lucia's arms, shrank her head again, and she looked at Kate and Charlotte before nodding heavily.

In this way, the whereabouts of Victoria and Kate are decided.

Lucia was very happy, and the most direct manifestation was that she took Victoria's little hand and walked towards the reception room, showing off to Victoria as she went.

"I've got a lot of interesting stuff here, so let's go and let me show you what to see. ”

Although Victoria was still afraid of life, she couldn't resist Lucia's tyranny at all, so she could only nod.

As she was leaving, Lucia turned around and winked at Charlotte.

Einstein, on the other hand, was based on the master's pace, and since the owner agreed to let the two mountain monkeys live, then Einstein would not object, and as for other things, Einstein was also not interested.

The rest of the room watched as Lucia left with Victoria, and by the time Einstein came to the door, the atmosphere suddenly became serious. This meant that the real conversation was about to begin, after all, some things were better off not letting young Victoria know.

Charlotte smiled and let go of the puppet maid in her arms, and as soon as the maid was freed, she returned to work and began to change the tea that had cooled for Charlotte and Ludwig.

After a brief look at the puppet maid's work, Charlotte turned her head and looked at Kate beside Ludwig with a smile.

"Why did you come to me, the child's parents are still alive. ”

That kid was Victoria. Although Victoria suddenly lost her grandfather, her parents are still alive, and even if Hancock has a deathbed entrustment, Victoria should not be brought to Charlotte.

Kate bit her lip, and after a little hesitation, she decided to give it all up, because she knew that if she couldn't gain Charlotte's trust, she and Miss Victoria would have a very difficult life in the future.

After thinking about it for a while, Kate chose to start with the main points.

"I suppose you should know Miss Victoria's parents, right?"

Seeing Charlotte nod, Kate continued.

"It all started when the two adults got married because of the union of the family. At that time, the two who were not married had their own lovers, but in order to fulfill their responsibilities to the family, the two adults finally gave up free love and chose the marriage they hated. ”

Speaking of which, Charlotte can basically think of the rest of the content, which is simply as boring and ridiculous as those vulgar romance novels.

"Resentment?"

Hearing Charlotte's question, Kate smiled wryly.

"If you want to say that you don't hate or resent, it must be a lie. ”

Although the two had never said anything like that, Kate knew it, and so did Master Hancock.

"Both of them were stubborn men, and rarely repented of what they had decided, and under such a premise, the marriage was not only not good, but even terrible, and even the birth of Miss Victoria did not make things better. ”

These things belong to the family affairs that will never be made public to outsiders, so even Charlotte has heard of it for the first time.

"After giving birth to Miss Victoria, the two adults thought that they had fulfilled their responsibilities, so they took over the military position in the family and went to serve on the border, although they did not say that they wanted to sever ties with the family, but in fact there was not much difference, even if I passed the news of my master's death, but after so many days, there was still no response. ”

The two ignored their own daughter, saying that it was out of responsibility, but they did not fulfill even the slightest responsibility as parents, and sometimes Kate wondered if they saw the birth of their daughter as a stain on their lives. But fortunately, Victoria still has a doting grandfather, so that she will not have a miserable childhood.

"You know how powerless a child is without the support of his parents, after the death of the master, the rest of the family began to play Miss Victoria's idea, as long as they can get the custody of Miss Victoria, it is equivalent to controlling the entire family property. ”

Charlotte stroked the teacup with her fingers and sat quietly. There are many cases of fratricide for property, especially between nobles, who inherit not only inheritance, but also status and power, so the competition between nobles is sometimes terrifying. However, none of this has anything to do with Victoria.

"Why refuse?"

Whether it is a fight for property or power, it is not a matter for Victoria, who is still a minor, because her age is destined to prevent her from being able to enter the arena of the battle, and she is not an opponent for those who want to obtain an inheritance, but the only way to win.

"Whoever Victoria is given care of, as long as she still has the right to inherit the first line, then no one will treat her badly, at least not materially. ”

Treating Victoria badly is tantamount to handing over the opportunity to get an inheritance, and as long as the head is normal, probably no one will do such a stupid thing.

Kate wasn't surprised by Charlotte's words.

"But they can't get Miss Victoria to love her heart, can they?"

"True love? ”

Charlotte still had a smile on her face as she said this.

"I don't think it's an extravagant request. ”

For the first time, Kate showed perseverance and persistence in the face of Charlotte.

"I'm an orphan, but even then I've met Master Hancock, who cares about me, and I'm sure Miss Victoria will find her own happiness. ”

For this reason, the first thing to do is to protect Victoria from those who are not bad-hearted.

Charlotte smiled wryly.

"I know, I know, you don't have to be so serious, hasn't Lucia already agreed to let you stay, so you can relax, I'm not trying to drive you away. ”
