Chapter 142: The Only Condition

After hearing Charlotte's words, Charles had no choice but to remain silent. +◆+◆,

By now, Charles has no interest in arguing with Charlotte over historical issues.

It's better to say that he has this kind of thinking, and he can be regarded as an outlier of the Trevill family.

Isn't that how the Trévilles - nay, by extension, almost all of the noble families that survived the Revolution - see things that way? In a sense, it's not wrong to look at it from their standpoint.

What really saddened Charles was that the Duke of Treville was so lonely - even his children didn't understand his thoughts at all, and just regarded his glorious experience of living in exile and supporting his family on his own as a black history that the family should erase.

In their view, aristocratic families should not rely on lowly jobs to make a living, and the subsequent dukes could not and were unwilling to admit that their ancestors had worked as shoemakers, even if they were forced to do so. As Charlotte said, after the death of the Duke himself, his best-preserved tools would probably be discarded or thrown away.

However, this is also the duke's own doing, he spoiled the children so much that they could not understand him at all.

Perhaps because of the decades of displacement and hardship in their early years due to the civil riots, the Treville brothers spoiled their children for fear of suffering. Therefore, they have inadvertently developed the arrogant and arrogant personality of children.

Needless to say, the Duke of Treville, his son and grandchildren, which is not arrogant? Charlotte only showed this personality a little more shallowly—in Charlotte's eyes. There are only a few hundred families in Europe that can be compared to their own, and they are the only ones who deserve respect.

Even if it's a younger brother. How good is it?

His own father, in the words of the old marquis himself. That's "give whatever you want", and it's precisely because you have had what you want since you were a child and you've never suffered that this father will develop that kind of absurd character who only cares about his own pleasure but never wants to take any responsibility, right?

Although when he mentioned his father, his grandfather always hated iron and could not be scolded, but in fact, after his father committed the evil act of killing his mother, didn't he choose to hide it without hesitation?

What a terrible result of unbridled spoiling of children! The experiences and experiences of these two generations of the Tréville family. Once again, this truth is proved to be true throughout the ages.

Fortunately, after his father's terrible lesson, the Marquis of Treville finally sobered up and was much more strict with his education, and he was a traveler who had traveled through time and space, so he did not become a vulnerable guy like his father.

It is precisely because of the good influence exerted by himself that his sister will not become another Charlotte, but has developed a gentle and humble character, and he is kind to others, Charles also thought fortunately.

Perhaps, however, it wasn't just the brothers' personal fault – the way they raised their children. Isn't it the traditional way of aristocrats for thousands of years? Aren't those weaknesses in his father always the traditional vices of the aristocracy?

It is precisely because of these deep-seated vices that this class has ruined itself.

If Charlotte and I have children in the future, I must be strict with them. We can't do this to these two older generations, or God knows what else to do. Charles thought to himself.

"Charles, what are you thinking?" Because I found that Charles seemed to be a little absent-minded. Charlotte then looked at Charles with some curiosity and asked.

"Oh, nothing. I was just thinking......" Charles retracted his thoughts, and suddenly some kind of mischievous mentality occurred in his mind. "How are we going to discipline our children in the future?"

“…… Yes? "This sudden word. Charlotte's mouth opened in shock, and she looked at Charles in disbelief.

"What stupid are you talking about!" After a while, Charlotte, who reacted, scolded Charles with a red face, "Why are you saying such things at this time?" Are you kidding me? ”

However, although the reaction was a little fierce on the surface, Charlotte was not angry in her heart, but secretly had an unspeakable joy - for whatever reason, it was the first time that Charles had expressed in front of her what he wanted to do with her married life.

"Hey...... Ah............h

Charles said so badly that Charlotte finally lost her breath.

"Forget it, after so many years, I should have understood that being angry with you is to find guilt for myself." Charlotte glanced sideways at Charles, and then looked away, "But, Charles, I didn't say you, at this age, you should be a little more steady, right?" Especially now that you are already in such a position, you should show a little more grace! Always making these unobtrusive jokes, how can you show majesty in front of others in the future? ”

Bearing and steady, it is not by pretending to be majestic to perform.

- Of course, Charles would not argue with his future wife about such a thing, he just smiled and nodded, agreeing with Charlotte.

Seeing that Charles was so good at talking today, Charlotte didn't say anything more, so the two of them walked back to the study of the little Duke of Trevill.

Perhaps because she had been entrusted with the important task of becoming the de facto head of the whole family by her grandfather, Charlotte was much more imposing than usual, and because the Duke of Treville's decision had been secretly spread throughout the mansion, the servants along the way seemed to have become much more respectful, and did not dare to show any disrespect to the two young men.

"Oh, you're back? Did you see Dad? As soon as he got to the study, the little Duke of Trevill asked without looking back.

Compared to just now, Charles's cousin seemed to be much more depressed than before, and his eyes were a little bloodshot.

"Dad, why do you still drink at this time!" As soon as Charlotte came in, she smelled the strong smell of alcohol and looked at her father dissatisfied.

Grandpa is still seriously ill, but her father is still drinking to entertain himself, which is really difficult for her to accept.

Seeing that she was about to lose her temper again, Charles quickly took Charlotte's hand and motioned for her to calm down first.

Although this matter is really not very authentic, he can still understand the feelings of this cousin in a sense, and coupled with the current situation, it is really not appropriate for Charlotte to stimulate his father again.

"Yes, we have already met him, and the old man's spirit is stronger than I thought." Charles nodded to his cousin, and then pulled Charlotte to his side, "I've already told him what we just said, he ......"

He agreed, didn't he? I'll know by looking at you. "He should have asked for it, how nice it would be that the two branches of the Trevill family have become one again! It's just wonderful! ”

"Thank you, I think that's exactly what the old man wants." Ignoring the sarcasm in his tone, Charles looked at the other party calmly, "I have promised him, and I will do my best to help everyone in the future." ”

"Help...... yes, help. Uncle Tang shook his head with a wry smile, and then sighed quietly, "Now I have to let you help me, an elder, I guess my father will be disappointed in me." ”

"Daddy!" Charlotte next to her couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but scold her father all her life, "Okay! Now that it's a foregone conclusion, don't be angry, right? ”

"Why can't I be angry? He values his nephew more than my son...... Shouldn't I be angry? Uncle Tang replied with a sneer, "If it's just more important, he still wants you to be our ruler...... Let us have to rely on your snort to live in the future, and he actually did it! ”

The little Duke of Trevil frowned and grumbled, and gasped quietly, apparently feeling extremely annoyed.

It's no wonder that among the two branches of the Tréville family, the long branch has always been dominant, but now the world has changed, and the young branch actually turned over and rode on the head of the long branch, how can this not make people feel depressed? Moreover, because of this arrangement of the duke, this depression will be magnified several times.

It is also because of the increase in patience with age that the little Duke of Trevill is not as mad as his son.

"Well, since you can't do anything about it, let's admit it," and at this point, Charles didn't plan to be modest anymore. "I guess you should face it, Charlotte will be the steward of our entire family."

Then, Charles stopped talking, just staring at his cousin.

Under the pressure of Charles's gaze, Uncle Tang smiled bitterly at first, but finally regained his composure. "Well, I accept this qiē, Shire, I won't cause you any trouble, you can support us in the future."

In the end, he chose to obey his father.

"Thank you."

"So...... Please tell me......" Uncle suddenly raised his voice, "when are you going to marry Charlotte?" ”

"Huh?" Charlotte exclaimed.

"Can't you bear to watch my father die before you are united?" Uncle Tang looked at Charles with a frown, "Is it ...... Are you really so hard at heart that you can't bear to turn a blind eye to Charlotte, who has done this? If you want me to accept it, it's very simple, hurry up and marry her, and let my father live on the hospital bed to be your witness! (To be continued......) u
