After retrieving the purse, Albert happily paid the bill, and the imp obediently agreed to be his retinue after being intimidated by him (and of course not directly stating his plans).

By this time Charles had nothing more to tell him, so he said goodbye to him, and walked out of the diner-house with a trace of drunkenness, and then found a cab on the corner, and after giving him a command, he sat down in his seat with his head up, and let the carriage gallop away to his house with the wind blowing in his face.

After sitting in a daze for I don't know how long, the carriage slowly stopped.

"Sir, it's already here." The coachman's voice came from the front.

Charles barely bothered himself, then took out a gold coin from his coat pocket, jumped out of his seat regardless of whether he gave it more or not, and walked towards the door of his house in a daze.

By this time, it was already night, and Charles managed to see the road clearly so that he did not fall. The porter saw that his master had returned, and quickly opened the door, and then tried to help Charles walk in, but Charles waved to stop him, and then staggered into his own home.

Charles' return without warning soon caused a commotion in his home, but the servants ignored the panic and walked into the mansion himself.

As soon as he walked into the renovated living room and stepped on the soft carpet on the floor, Charles felt that the air in his face had a certain sweet smell, and the long-lost warmth made him suddenly relax.

Then Charles stretched widely, and then breathed a sigh of relief. I just feel that even my head is a lot clearer.

After that, he continued to walk towards the central staircase, intending to go back to his bedroom for a good night's sleep.

"Sir, are you back?!" Just as he was about to step up the stairs, he heard a greeting.

He looked up. And then it was Fran who greeted him.

His sister was back in her usual white dress, and her face was a little bloodier than the sickly pale she had been, and her expression seemed to be much more relaxed, and the dark clouds that had been hanging over her lately seemed to have dissipated considerably.

"Hey, hello, Miss Tremier!" As soon as I saw Fran so healthy. Charles's mood suddenly improved a lot. "You're so beautiful today."

"You...... Ah, thank you, sir. Fran froze at this slightly inappropriate answer, and then looked at Mary behind her in embarrassment, her face slightly red.

Then. She turned her gaze back to look at Charles, whose face was flushed and his eyes were a little cloudy, "Why did you drink so much today?" The whole person seems to be unstable. Would you like to have some dinner? I can get the chef to make a new ......."

As she spoke, she walked down the stairs.

"Oh, sorry. I just got a friend and drank a lot when I came back today," Charles smiled slightly, "and we had dinner too." Dinner is not needed. ”

"So? Then you don't have to drink so much......" Fran had already walked up to Charles, looking at Charles with some concern, "I really don't understand how you can treat wine as a good thing." ”

"It can't be helped. As soon as we got drunk, we couldn't stop. Charles shrugged, then looked at Fran carefully, "Looks like you've been in a lot better lately." ”

"I can't just lie in my room all the time...... "Fran smiled wryly, "I've got to cheer myself up." ”

"It's great that you think so......" Charles let out a long sigh of relief, then stretched out his arms and hugged his sister. I've been worried about you for a while, and I'm relieved to see you like this. ”

"Thank you. You've always taken such good care of me...... I'll try my best. Although Charles was full of alcohol, Fran didn't look disgusted. Let my brother embrace him in his arms.

It's just a pity that the hug didn't last long. Charles swung Fran back to her original distance. Then he opened his hazy eyes, looked at his sister again, and at Mary, who had come down silently.

"Is there anything you want to tell me? Say, as long as you can keep doing what you just did, I can consider any request. Charles smiled and pinched her nose.

"How can I say it at this time?" Fran frowned and glared at him, "You can rest first, and I'll tell you about it tomorrow." ”

"If you want to talk about it today, I won't have time tomorrow, I'm going to rush to the ministry early in the morning, and there are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with!" Charles shrugged his shoulders, "Don't worry, it doesn't look like it, but your brother is in a clear head now, and he won't forget what he promised you." ”

Although Charles's attitude still seemed a little unreliable, Fran and Mary looked at each other and finally came to a tacit understanding.

"Oh, it looks like a very important thing......" Charles couldn't help but laugh as he looked at them, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the reception room next to him, "Okay, let's not stand here and talk, let's go there together!" ”

……………………

Arriving in the reception room, after Charles was barely seated, Fran told Charles about the thoughts she had because of Lola's "guidance".

Charles was still relaxed at first, but slowly became more solemn.

"In other words, miss, you want to be involved in our business dealings with the De-Beauwang family?"

Her brother's gaze suddenly became a little sharp, and Fran couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in her heart, and it took a moment before she regained her composure. "yes, brother, that's what I thought. I see that you usually have so many things, so busy, you may not have any time to take care of these things, as your sister, I am not duty-bound to share your worries? Besides, since you have appointed me as a director, I should find a way to achieve the results you expect, right? ”

Charles looked at Fran silently, never answering.

Suddenly, he turned his gaze to Mary next to him, and the other party hurriedly spread his hands to say that he had never made peace.

"How. Can't you, brother? Seeing that Charles's expression was a little wrong, Fran became a little nervous.

Charles felt a sudden ache in his head.

"It's not that you can't do it...... It's just that...... My dear friend, this kind of thing is not as fun as you think, you should be a good lady. Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy the glory and wealth and draw some pictures by the way? I will give you what you want, what you should want, so why bother with this kind of trouble? It's not much fun......"

"But I'm not having fun, am I?" Fran looked a little anxious.

"Well, maybe you're sincere and determined." Charles sighed, "But that's not good, right?" You also have your life ......"

"This is my life, huh? I just want to help you and help myself as much as I can. Isn't that too much of an idea? Are you just going to make me a vase where I don't know anything? Mr. I don't want to cause trouble to anyone, and if you don't think it's appropriate, I can withdraw my request right away, but I only ask for one thing, and that's not to use 'you'd better not know anything' as a reason, okay? Fran looked at her brother with a sincere gaze, "Sir, I always thought that the two of us could trust each other and help each other. Am I wrong? In your eyes, you don't really care about my wishes, just like a doll that can be dressed up carefully. Because it's okay to unilaterally claim that everything is for my good without considering my thoughts? No...... Sir, this is not loving me, but only loving an illusion in your own heart. ”

Fran's words made Charles stammered for a while, not knowing what to say.

"Ouch, you don't have to be so strict...... I didn't mean that. A moment later. He smiled wryly.

There is a lot of shady and even a lot of crime in the collusion between politics and business. I don't want you to get caught up in this and lose your innocence -- that's the kind of thing you say. He wanted to say it, but he couldn't.

Looking at Fran's longing eyes, he didn't know for a moment how to refuse for other reasonable reasons.

If it's just for fun, it's not impossible, just let her get in touch with those businesses that can see the light. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind. After all, she had already been asked to be a housekeeper before, and now even if she has more business contacts, it is not a ridiculous thing.

Moreover, she has been so depressed and depressed recently, isn't it still good to find something else for her to relieve her mood?

These thoughts flashed through Charles's mind again and again, and his mind, which had not been firm at first, was shaken more and more.

"Sir?" Fran closed her eyes slightly, and asked in a low voice again.

This question also made Charles make up his mind.

"Well, if you insist, it's not impossible." Charles finally sighed, "However, you must not tell me that you are tired when the time comes, this is your choice!" ”

"Yes, thank you, sir!" When she heard Charles's permission, Fran was overjoyed, and her face was full of smiles, as if she had been given the toy she wanted. Charles's admonition followed her and she nodded her head in response. "Don't worry, since I found you, I have naturally made a decision, and I don't think I will complain about it."

"Hey, well, I hope you won't regret it then." Charles shook his head with a wry smile. "Well, go and get some rest, I have something to ask Mademoiselle de Léoland."

When Fran heard this, her smile froze, but under Charles's gaze, although she hesitated, she finally left. "I'll do it right away, and I won't worry you, sir."

With such a sentence, she left the room in small steps.

Then, the only two people left in the reception room, Charles and Mary.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" After a moment of silence, Charles asked. "I wish I could get a truthful answer to what had happened during my absence, and why my sister would have come up with such a request."

Basking in Charles' gaze, Mary felt a thorn in her back, and after a moment of hesitation, she finally couldn't resist the fear in her heart.

"Sir, this is the result of the encouragement of Mademoiselle de Beauwon......"

"Oh?" Although there was some surprise, Charles looked at her with interest.

Mary then reported to Charles about the meeting between Fran and Lola the other day.

"I see......" After understanding what happened, Charles finally realized.

Then he fell back into a deep groan.

Although I don't know what this Miss de Beauvang is doing, she is the daughter of the baron after all, and she must not be taken lightly.

"Well, now that I've promised Fran, let them do it." It took a long time for Shire's brow to furnish again.

Then he looked at Mary.

"Mademoiselle de Léoland, I know your mind, and it is indeed exciting to be my sister's assistant, after all, she does not know many people, and she can only rely on your help and guidance when she encounters problems...... And rest assured, I have no intention of stopping you from this idea, just do what you want, and I'm happy to see it happen. But ......"

Unexpectedly, he suddenly increased his volume, "I ask you to understand that this qiē was built by me, and it is also because I am there to run, and my sister can't do anything alone." So, since I promised to give these things, then I can also take them back, and this qiē is in my direction after all...... At the end of the day, you're still serving me, right? ”

Mary didn't speak, just nodded silently.

"So, personally, I'm not against the idea of doing it for myself, but ...... I don't want to see betrayal, if, if I see there is......"

"I know the consequences, sir, and I would never do that." Mary hurriedly lowered her head, "Don't worry, I'll take a good look at it, Miss de Beauwon, if there is anything suspicious, I will report it to you immediately." ”

"That's good." Charles nodded, and then he was relieved. "To be honest, it's actually okay to have you to help, anyway, I'm really busy and don't have that much energy."

Seeing that the purpose of the beating had been achieved, his tone slowed down.

He knew that this young lady would never be presumptuous, and that if she knew who was in charge, she would never mistake what she was supposed to do - she just wanted to take advantage of herself by the way.

With all that said, he suddenly felt even more tired.

"I'm going to rest, please take care of yourself."

"But...... But the Ezreal ...... Mary looked a little worried.

"Oh, that guy?" Charles shrugged, "Leave him alone now. (To be continued)
