Under everyone's gaze, Charles hugged Charlotte all the time and gave her a long kiss. It wasn't until a long time later that he re-loosened Charlotte's waist.

Then, he put his arm around Charlotte's shoulders and looked at Charlotte's already haggard face with heartache.

Then, he reached out and gently stroked Charlotte's slightly darkened eye sockets. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry...... Charlotte, you can get some rest and don't let yourself get sick......"

"If you don't make me sad anymore, I'll be fine." Charlotte had a rather bleak smile on her face, "Otherwise, what's the point of you saying a thousand words of comfort like this?" ”

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry......" Charles didn't know what to say now, so he could only hold her in his arms again and apologize.

After so many efforts, Charlotte finally changed her mind and agreed to forgive Charles for her mistake this time and continue the marriage contract between the two...... But, as Grandpa said, this is just the beginning, and there are still decades of journey ahead of the two of them, even longer than the years they have already walked.

He was now finally able to understand the heaviness of the marriage, and had decided to take the marriage he was about to take seriously.

"Charlotte, I'm glad you were able to figure ......it out," at this time, the Marquis of Treville coughed lightly, "I'll just say, after all, you are also a member of the family, and you will not be ignorant." In that case, we don't need to say anything more, just prepare according to the conditions discussed before, and I can give you a guarantee. When you come to me, you will not be treated badly. You are what I grew up watching, and I can give you what Philip can give you...... Hum. If you are wronged by Charles in the future, tell me that I will break his leg! ”

The Marquis of Treville's slightly witty tone made the atmosphere in the room suddenly much lighter, and even Charlotte couldn't help but smile a little on her face.

"Uncle, you're right, isn't that how marriage is actually done? There's always going to be something like that, it's going to be unnerving, it's going to be arguing, and Charles and Charlotte are just getting a taste of life we've been living for years, and that's fine. It can make them a little mentally prepared for their later life, and there is no need to sue them...... Young people, quarrels are a common thing, and if you leave it alone, it will naturally subside, if you force yourself to get involved, it will make the quarrel louder and louder, and the trouble will be out of control! ”

"A good boy like Charlotte wouldn't be so unreasonable." The old man shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "As long as she's wronged." It must be Charles's fault, and I won't spare him. ”

In order to make Charlotte happy, the old man kept saying things that made Charlotte happy, as for his own heart, grandson and niece. I'm afraid even Charlotte knows it very well.

"Alright, Victor, don't make fun of young people anymore. It's rare for you to come to my place, so let's have a meal here today. "That's when it happened. Duke Treville, who had not spoken, finally spoke, "I haven't spoken to you for a long time. Today is a good opportunity, so let's talk in the afternoon. ”

Looking at his brother's tired and haggard face, the smile on the face of the Marquis of Treville slowly disappeared, and finally turned into worry and sadness,

"Okay, don't worry, I'm afraid I'll be able to see you many times before you pass!"

Then, as if remembering something, he looked up again and looked solemnly at Charlotte and his daughter.

"However, getting married is one thing, and there is another thing I want to talk to you about......

"What's wrong?" The little Duke of Trevill saw that his uncle's expression had become so solemn, and hurriedly asked.

"Actually, it's ......nothing," the old man smiled self-deprecatingly, and then nodded at Charlotte, "It's just that I have an arrangement that I want Charlotte's consent to." ”

"What is it?" Charlotte asked suspiciously, "You just tell me, don't you have to say it so strictly?" ”

"Actually, it's not ......a big deal," the Marquis of Treville glanced at Charles again, and then continued, "Actually, I won't say it, I'm afraid you will know that Charles and I have been busy planning a coup d'état in Paris lately......"

A coup d'état!

Although the Marquis of Treville's tone was very relaxed, his words undoubtedly caused a huge shock in everyone except Charles, and everyone instantly became stern.

"What's going on? Victor, tell me about it! Duke Treville hurriedly asked, and then he regained his composure and sighed, "Heh, you finally can't help but do it......"

"What are you and ours, and what are you and me divided into now? Isn't everyone together? His younger brother couldn't help but laugh and scolded, "Okay, you can listen to me in detail." ”

Then, with that nonchalant look, he roughly told the plan drawn up by Charles under the instigation of Viscount Lautrec and Lucien.

When he had finished speaking, he waved his hand vigorously and made a gesture of slashing down with his saber.

"In short, as long as this plan is implemented, our opponents will all be doomed! When the time comes, nothing will stop us, and the French Empire will stand again in the world! ”

"Then we will bow down to a ridiculous Bonaparte." The Duke of Trevil sighed rather gloomily.

"Even a ridiculous Bonaparte, as long as he can give us what we want, then he is the great Bonaparte." The Marquis of Treville smiled and replied, "Isn't it?" ”

"Yes......" the Duke sighed again, visibly depressed.

Although he could face the reality, he looked down on Louis Bonaparte in any case, and did not want to see him become the emperor of the empire - not to mention that if the Bonaparte family rebuilt the empire, it would mean that his entire political career was completely over. It can no longer play an important role at the level of national politics.

Even if he is about to die, a politician who once dominated the country's political arena. It is still inevitable to feel depressed about this reality.

"Okay, what are you still worried about? Who called the Bourbons so stupid. Lightly ruined the country that was finally restored? As if seeing the depression in his brother's heart, the Marquis of Treville laughed, "You were so high-spirited when you were a minister at that time, you must have not thought of today, right?" Ha ha! But don't worry, Charles and I will carry the banner in your hands again in the future, so you can rest assured. ”

Although it seemed to be comforting, the competitive Marquis of Treville always had a sense of pride in his tone, "In the end, it was my side that won the victory".

After all, he won the competition with his brother and climbed to the top of the country in the unpredictable changes of the times. With his grandson over his brother.

"Hmph, you won, you won, you should be happy......"

The Duke of Treville sighed self-deprecatingly, and then suddenly glared at his son with annoyance, and the little Duke of Treville did not dare to argue with this unwarranted calamity, so he had to pin his face to the side.

After winning this for a while, the Marquis of Tréville was naturally very happy, but in order not to stimulate his brother even more. He turned back to the subject. "Just for the sake of this coup d'état, the president and I have been grieving about the timing of the launch, and to tell you the truth, we will discuss how many days we will live. But they all felt that the suddenness was not enough, and they should launch an all-out blow against our enemies, so that they could all be caught off guard. Afterward...... The president came up with an idea. Why don't we do it on the eve of our wedding in Shire? Wouldn't that be able to achieve complete suddenness? And at that time the president and we could all get together without suspicion and calmly direct this coup d'état......"

"Grandpa. You're talking about a coup d'état before the wedding? And what about our wedding? Charles shouted in surprise according to his grandfather's arrangement. Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing beforehand? ”

The astonishment in his tone was natural, as if he had only now learned of the arrangement, and it was the old marquis's intention—that in order not to upset Charlotte, he was prepared to make the matter a private decision of the president, and to make Charles an uninformed.

"We just made a decision on such a big matter, and we haven't had time to tell you yet......" Marquis Treville shook his head with a smile.

Then, he turned his gaze to the three Duke of Treville, "Okay, that's the basic situation, what do you think?" ”

"No, don't! Charlotte and I had been preparing for such a big event for so long, how could such a thing be arranged on an ad hoc basis? Charles hurriedly protested, "Grandpa, there are still many suitable days, let's think about it another time." ”

"I can't find a more suitable day than this, ......child," the Marquis of Treville, still looking at the three of them, sighed, "but this is just my personal opinion, if you don't think it's appropriate, then let's talk about it." But rest assured, the President will definitely take your sacrifice to heart, and he will personally attend your wedding and bless you. ”

Surprised, the Duke of Trevil and his son quickly calmed down, then they looked at each other, and finally both nodded.

From the point of view of utilitarian realism, there really is no more opportune time in the near future.

Finally, all eyes turned to Charlotte, waiting for her decision.

It was difficult to describe Charlotte's mood at the moment, and her eyes widened in confusion.

She knew in her heart that this was not a solicitation, but an order. On this issue, she can only act according to the decisions of the president and her uncle. And it is impossible to overturn the whole plan because of his own words.

It was a wedding she had been waiting for for for an unknown number of years, and it was the only wedding in her life, and the result was ...... But it is still inevitable that it will be stained with blood.

However...... Through this touch of blood, she was able to witness her family become the most glorious family in France at her wedding.

Regret and excitement stirred in her heart, and she couldn't tell whether it was joy or bitterness.

But she knew there was only one answer she could give.

"Very well, then arrange it like this."

"Yay! Charlotte, I knew you could see it! Seeing Charlotte so crisp, the Marquis of Treville was overjoyed, "Then do it!" Charles, don't hesitate, Charlotte is better than you! ”

"Okay...... So be it. Charles sighed helplessly and agreed.

Although he seemed reluctant, Charles was actually greatly relieved that the stone hanging in his heart had finally been lowered.

"Well, everything that should be said has been said, and I have nothing to explain, I wish you a smooth marriage after marriage, child!" The Marquis of Treville clapped his hands with great delight. "Alright, let's go rest first, and then let's get ready for dinner, I'm a little tired after all this talk today."

"I'll tell the servant to arrange it at once!" The little Duke of Trevil hurriedly agreed.

"By the way, Charlotte ......" the Marquis of Treville walked up to Charlotte and smiled at her with concern, "the President will soon issue an edict to confiscate one of the Orleans' assets in France, and the Château de Le Mans and the estate that Charles just told you about are among them, and he will buy them all, and then it will be yours." I'd like to go there to spend the summer, Charlotte, do you think you agree or not? ”

He deliberately made a big deal of courtesy, hinting at Charlotte's current status as hostess.

"Of course, grandpa, you can use it however you like, mine is yours." Charlotte replied respectfully, without the slightest arrogance in front of others.

"Charlotte, do you know who you are now? Don't act willfully in the future......" At this time, the Duke of Trevil suddenly admonished Charlotte, "It's one thing to run the family business, remember not to neglect your old friends!" ”

Now, as long as Charles and Charlotte get married, in fact, the convergence of the two main branches of the Tréville family is already a clear fact, and it would be a lie to themselves to play any double-sided bets, and no one will believe that the Duke of Tréville's family has any interest in restoring the old country of the Bourbon royal family.

However, even so, the Trévilles did not intend to break with the stubborn orthodox aristocracy, and in the Duke's opinion, it was necessary to maintain a certain good relationship with them, and perhaps somewhere else would be needed for them.

"I understand, Grandpa." Charlotte nodded, indicating that she fully understood her grandfather's hints.

Before she knew it, she was already playing the role she had been dreaming of for a long time.

…………………………

"Miss Treville, don't get too carried away!"

Just when the members of the Tréville family had reached a tacit agreement, a small dispute was playing out in a dilapidated church in the city.

Miss Lola de Beauwin looked at the girl in front of her with excitement and hatred, her face flushed with excitement, and she was no longer indifferent.

"Do you really think you can support me for whatever you want?!" (To be continued......)
