Until he came out of Morny's house, Charles couldn't believe how successful he had been on that day.

The Louis-Bonaparte brothers were both difficult people to deal with, and he had made a gamble on his own future without planning and therefore without preparation, and it was honestly impossible for him not to be nervous beforehand. But the aftermath turned out to be surprisingly good, and all his previous worries disappeared.

Charles is not one to pin his fate on luck, but this time he has to admit that his luck is surprisingly good.

It's not just luck, Matilda's vision and courage are really admirable, Charles told herself.

If you can maintain this friendship with Matilda in the future, I am afraid that you will be able to get more help in the future, right? And, in one way or another, maybe there will be more help......

Charles, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly got into trouble in boredom.

The passion of last night's night still lingers in his heart, and since he traveled to this life, Charles considers last night to be his most emotional moment. No matter what happened after that, the passion of that night would be a moment he will never forget.

As Charles indulged in this reverie, the carriage finally brought him back to his home, and Charles breathed a sigh of relief and walked straight back to his room.

Such a busy day made him so exhausted that he didn't want to do anything but get a good night's sleep - of course. It's all about overthinking, and it has absolutely nothing to do with last night's overwork......

……………………

When Charles reopened his eyes, his vision slowly cleared from blur. Then he noticed that there was a man sitting upright at the head of his bed, looking at him with a smile.

"Wake up at last, Charles."

"Charlotte, why are you here?" After a moment, he recovered from his amazement.

"It's a little boring, so I'm going to come and see you." Charlotte reached out and patted him on the forehead, "What?" Isn't it possible? ”

"That's not what it means...... Charles smiled, not dodging her touch. I was just a little curious. How long have you been here? ”

"It didn't take long for me to wake you up when I saw that you were still sleeping."

"Oh, thank you."

"Looks like you're not in good spirits today. Did something happen? Charlotte saw Charles show a rare look of fatigue. So I was a little surprised, "Usually you don't speak in this tone. ”

"It's really nothing, it's just a little tired, and you know, I usually have too many things to do." Charles gripped the past.

There are some things that Charles can't say and don't dare to say.

"You don't have to be so busy," Charlotte looked at Charles with some concern, "although there are a lot of things you want to do." But isn't it okay to be in a hurry? You've got time to ...... anyway."

"It's nothing, I'm not very tired. I'm a man of action. Charles reluctantly laughed, "The political world is changing, if we want to do something, of course we have to do it when we have the opportunity." ”

"Okay, okay, don't play this kind of political trick in front of me, I've been tired of seeing it since I was a child." Charlotte pinched his ears gently, "Hurry up, I've been asleep for so long." ”

"I think that's going to be funny......" Charles muttered quietly, but listened to Charlotte and sat up from the bed.

"By the way, your ministry doesn't seem to be very peaceful lately, and I've heard a lot of rumors about you in the social circles......" Charlotte took Charles' clothes and handed them to Charles, "It seems that a lot of them are not good for you." ”

"That's really sorry." Charles replied in a muffled voice as he got dressed, "But the social world is like this, it is full of idlers who have nothing to do, and what is the point of living for a day if they don't say bad things about others?" ”

"Look, you're ......," Charlotte couldn't help laughing, "I'm worried about your reputation." ”

"What's the use of worrying, you don't have to worry so much, just have fun, anyway, I'll give you all a qiē." Charles got dressed and jumped out of bed, then looked at Charlotte with a smile, "Hahahaha, the future Madame de Treville, the eternal star of the social world!" ”

"Charles!" As if embarrassed, Charlotte raised her voice, "I know you don't like people to judge you all the time, so I don't usually talk about you, but you can't be so careless about the social world, right...... Don't forget, if you want to get involved in this political world, you can't get too bad. This world is no longer a world that can be appreciated by hard work, and those who have worked hard for ten years can't catch up with the ...... who can say a few witty words."

"Okay, I know, I know......" Charles nodded repeatedly, stopping Charlotte's admonition.

Although he didn't listen to Charlotte's advice, Charles didn't hate this kind of wife-like care, and even ...... Instead, I felt the warmth of family.

Looking at Charlotte's serious expression, Charles suddenly had an urge to play a prank on her.

So he straightened his face and sighed apprehensively.

"Charlotte, you're actually right, these things are really troublesome......"

"What's wrong?" As if sensing some bad omen from Charles' expression, Charlotte looked at Charles with some apprehension, "Did something happen?" Shire? ”

"Hmm...... Actually......" Charles looked at Charlotte with some uneasiness, "Actually, as in the social world, Mr. President ...... us I wasn't very satisfied with our department, so I wanted to reshuffle the personnel. ”

"Reshuffle the personnel?!" As if sensing something, Charlotte's face turned a little pale, "What does this mean?" What does he want? ”

"Hmm...... This means that the minister and I may be transferred. ”

"What? How so! Charlotte frowned. Charles, I don't think I'll move you, will I? Aren't you a good subordinate of Bonaparte? I think he trusts you a lot. ”

"How can things be so simple...... "Charles smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Anyway." Judging from the meaning of the presidential table, the situation is indeed not very optimistic. Charlotte, I'm not kidding, maybe I'll lose my position soon......"

Charlotte looked at Charles silently, until she confirmed that Charles's words were indeed true, and her expression became very stern.

"Charles. Didn't you plan to deal with your minister before? Wouldn't it be enough to push out the Count of Dilillion as a scapegoat? Anyway, he's a minister, shouldn't he be held responsible? ”

"Well, Mr. President, it seems that he did mean that before. But I persuaded him to abandon the idea. ”

"What? Why? "Charlotte is clearly a little weird." Isn't the old Count of Dilier dead? So what is there to be afraid of them? ”

"Ah, because there are all kinds of considerations......" Because there are many things that can't be said to Charlotte, so Charles can only be vague, "Anyway." After combining various judgments. I decided that it would be better for him to stay in office, and I convinced the president that way, and I ......"

"So the president is going to let you go? Just to prevaricate those ridiculous idiots? Obviously you have done such a good job, but you still want to let you go? He's just blind! Charlotte said coldly, obviously already angry, "Charles, if he did this, he would be too ungrateful, right?" Your family and my family have done so much for him. Is he trying to kick you away like that? ”

"Ungrateful? This is the specialty of politicians. Charles shrugged, "Anyway." Charlotte, as you can see, now I might be in real big trouble. ”

"No wonder you're so tired......" Charlotte sighed.

However, looking at the depressed Charles, Charlotte reluctantly cheered up, hugged Charles, and tried her best to comfort Charles.

"Don't be afraid, Charles, it's not the worst yet, no matter how ungrateful Bonaparte is, he still lacks help, and he will have to come to you when the time comes...... Besides, you've been in the ministry for so long, so you can leave a lot of people to be planted there! The benefits are still indispensable. She whispered to Charles, "As long as we calm down and look for opportunities, we can still recover after all." At least, I'm always there to help you! As long as we calm down, there will be a chance to turn over! ”

Charles also reached out and hugged her waist.

This kind of unreserved concern made Charles speechless for a while.

In addition to being moved, Charles's heart was more of a sense of guilt.

At least, she's always been thinking about me, but...... But I betrayed her, no doubt about it.

"I'm sorry...... Charlotte. He blurted out.

"What?"

"Uh...... It's nothing. Charles reacted and quickly smiled, "I was joking just now, although I ran into some trouble, but the president didn't plan to leave me, he just wanted me to be transferred......"

The sorrow on Charlotte's face was instantly replaced by happiness, and then turned into anger.

She lifted her hand and twisted Charles' ears heavily.

"You guy, you're so annoying!"

"Ah...... Don't make a fuss......" The two of them scuffled like this.

Charles then told Charlotte about Louis Bonaparte's arrangement.

"Finally, this man still has a little conscience." Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she looked at Charles with a smile again, "Charles, since you are just handing over work during this time, you must be very idle, right?" Let's have some fun together, shall we? ”

"Okay, what are you playing?"

"How about a masquerade?" Charlotte said, "Just do it at my house, right?" Since the opportunity is rare, just make it grand and call all the young people you know. ”

"Okay." Without hesitation, Charles agreed, "By the way, announce our engagement there." ”

Then, before Charlotte could react, he hugged Charlotte and kissed her. (To be continued......)
