Flowers, Swords and France

The meeting with Ezreal didn't take long before Ciel sent him away. ∽♦Top∽♦Point∽♦Small∽♦ said,

Although he didn't intend to confide in his half-brother, Ciel was not very resistant to helping him if he could. Therefore, he just promised the other party to support him in the future.

As for whether Ezreal would accept his help, that was something he couldn't control.

After the meeting, Charles concentrated his energy and took care of the remaining matters. He did not leave his office until evening.

However, after getting on the carriage, he did not let the coachman take him home. Instead, he chose another destination for him.

When he arrived at the club, his friend Albert de Foa Grai was already waiting here.

At noon, he had already sent someone to notify Albert, who was working at the Ministry of Railways, and asked him to come to the club to wait for him.

In the crowded hall of the club, Albert was playing cards with someone in the corner, but after seeing Charles, he quickly ended his gambling game, then stood up and faced Charles.

"Ah, my friend, it's rare that you took the initiative to ask someone to come to me today." Albert still had that careless smile on his face, "What's wrong? Is there anything good you can do?"

"Yes, Albert, I do have good news to tell you." Charles nodded.

While talking, the two of them walked towards a room.

Because this club always keeps visitors confidential, they often meet here recently.

"What's the matter? Friend?" After walking to his seat and sitting down, Albert looked at Charles curiously. "What's the good news?"

"Do you still remember what we were busy with before? Now we have an idea." A smile of joy and excitement appeared on Charles's face, "Just now. Those who opposed us on the new weapons have followed me After giving in, they said they could give priority to trying out our new weapons.”

"Oh? That's great!" As soon as I heard this. Albert was naturally beaming with joy, "How could it be so fast? I saw your proposal was rejected before, and I thought it would take a while."

"But since then, I have found another good way." Charles replied with a smile.

"Is it because you have a new minister?" As a member of the officials, although he is usually very unobtrusive, Albert can naturally hear a lot of rumors, "Is that new minister your ally? It seems they were frightened..."

"That's the effect I wanted."

"Congratulations, Charles." Albert found the wine from the wine cabinet and poured it for Charles.

"No. You should say congratulations to us." Charles shook his head and corrected Albert's statement, "Albert, this is our common cause. Don't forget that you also invested a lot of money in it."

"You still remember it!" Albert smiled, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

Then, as if remembering a time, he said, "But is this the end of the matter? I don't think we can let them off easily. This time they just reluctantly cooperated with us because of the pressure. They must not be convinced yet. If If you let them go this time, maybe they will do something else in private in the future..."

"You're right. So I will never settle this matter with them. No matter what they do now, whether they treat us sincerely or falsely, I will destroy them if I have the chance this time." Your expression suddenly turned cold. The tone was also very blunt, "It's just that I still need them now. So I'll bear with it for a while, and then I'll let them all get out when the matter is done! I just want to torment them. Let everyone know that neither of us are the same." So annoying!”

"Well said, Charles!" Albert clapped his hands approvingly, "That's what we should do! If we don't beat people to the end when we have the opportunity, aren't we wasting the opportunity? I've long been unhappy with those people. , how dare you treat us like this, don’t spare any of them from now on!”

"I will." Charles shrugged, then picked up the wine glass again, "Cheers!"

In this way, the two good friends continued to discuss the future operation methods of the arsenal while pushing cups and changing lamps, in order to strive to get the arsenal into large-scale production as soon as possible to adapt to the orders that will inevitably come.

Because both of them have important positions and usually don't have much time to deal with these matters, they need to find some trustworthy people to run the factory, so this problem is quite embarrassing. Fortunately, Albert had been wandering around for many years and had a wide network of friends. He knew some people from all walks of life, so he could still think of a solution.

It took the two of them a while to discuss this issue and they also drank a lot of wine, which made both of them feel dizzy.

"Okay, that's it for today. We'll talk about the rest later..." Charles, whose face was a little red, waved his hand, and then poured himself another glass of wine, "Forget it, there's no need to do it all at once. Everything is settled, anyway...anyway...there are still a lot of things to do next..."

"...Well, there's no rush," Albert also nodded, indicating that he understood. His face was also a little red, and he obviously drank to his heart's content, "Then let's go have some fun? Today... there seems to be a lot of new stuff today..."

"No, forget it..." Ciel shook his head.

"Friend, we're here today anyway, so let's just have fun." Albert looked at Charles teasingly, "Why, you usually don't have any other ideas except those big things? That's...that's too boring. "

"Don't say that to me, I just...just..."

Before Charles could explain the reason, the door suddenly made a soft sound.

"Who?" Charles was a little surprised at first, and then his already blurry brain finally came to his senses.

It should be her.

He stumbled to his feet, then walked to the door and opened it.

Although his eyes were slightly blurry, Charles could still clearly see the person standing opposite.

It was indeed her.

"You are finally here, miss." He shrugged at the other party.

"I can't help it. I can't walk to a place like this so arrogantly." Miss Marie-de-Léoland explained carefully. "Sir, I received the sudden message from you. It's good that I came here so quickly. I have to be careful not to let others see it..."

"Okay, it doesn't matter, it's not too late now." Charles shrugged, smiled and waved, then turned and walked back, "Come in quickly, while we are still awake, I will explain things clearly to you."

Perhaps because he drank too much, his attitude was not as serious and reserved as usual. On the contrary, it seems a bit frivolous.

Under Charles's slightly rude order, Mary suppressed her displeasure and walked in obediently.

The strong smell of alcohol that filled the room made her feel a little uncomfortable, but she still didn't show any annoyance on her face.

"Oh! I really didn't expect that you had already made arrangements! It's amazing! It seems that I worried about you in vain." When he saw Mary, Albert shouted exaggeratedly, "It's just, Xia Well, why don’t you arrange one for me too?”

Then. He looked at Ciel, his expression suddenly became a little strange.

"Hey, where are you thinking?" Charles scolded him quickly before his thoughts became more and more strange. "I called her here because there is something important I want to tell you two!"

Then, with a gesture, he asked Mary to sit next to them.

"Okay. What do you want to tell us?" Albert looked at Charles curiously.

Charles patted his head gently to calm himself down, and then looked at the two of them mysteriously.

"I have something to entrust to you."

Then. He looked at Mary and said, "Miss. Do you remember what I said in the newspaper before?"

Mary nodded slightly.

"This is what I need to entrust to you..." Charles took a deep breath and then lowered his voice, "Although those people are hired by me, I don't trust them. This matter is too important. I There is no room for negligence.”

Then, he gently raised his hand and pointed at Albert, "Mary, don't look at this person dressed so elegantly, but he is actually ruthless..."

"Hey, you can't say that to me in front of girls!" Albert quickly interrupted Charles, "I am a very gentle person!"

"You...what do you mean?" Mary quickly understood what Charles meant, and then looked at Charles with some surprise, "You want me to look at them?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. This matter is too important to be exposed, and I can't rely on other people's self-discipline to act. I must have some special means to prevent myself from being harmed." Charles nodded. , acknowledged Mary's question, "What I want you to do is to check them out more often in the news agency. If there is anything unusual, just tell Albert, and he will naturally know how to deal with it."

"Are you going to ask me to clean up the traitors?" After hearing what Charles said, Albert slowly became serious and looked at Charles with a frown.

"My friend, don't be nervous. It hasn't appeared yet. I hope I'm just overthinking it." Charles replied in a low voice, "But if it does appear, I hope you can handle it for me and don't let me worry about it. ”

"Of course there is no problem with this, Charles." Albert smiled slightly, "I dare not say anything else, but I am quite good at this... Don't worry, I have done a lot of this kind of thing recently, and I have become proficient in it. Very, there won’t be any fuss.”

Not long ago, he was responsible for cleaning up gang members in Paris. Those vicious gang leaders and thugs killed countless people, so naturally he would not care about killing a few more newspaper members when necessary.

Then, Albert looked at Mary, then smiled rather frivolously and waved.

"Miss, I hope we can have a happy cooperation from now on~"

However, Mary was not as relaxed as him. When she looked at Albert's smile, she froze and her face turned slightly pale.

Although neither Charles nor Albert said it clearly, she knew in her heart what "processing" meant.

However, what surged in her heart at this time was not panic or fear. Instead, it was an indescribable excitement.

Yes, she wasn't scared or disgusted.

She suddenly realized. Inadvertently, one of her words. It is very likely that it can determine the life or death of a person, and this person may have been a well-dressed senior newspaper executive with huge influence.

Have I become such a powerful person? She felt suddenly unbelievable.

And where does this power come from?

She glanced lightly at Ciel.

The answer is obvious, it comes from the trust and reuse of this person.

Therefore, in order to get everything you want, this person's continued trust and reuse are absolutely indispensable. You must not be driven away, otherwise you will lose everything you have gained... She told herself again in her heart.

"Okay, I understand. Sir, I will pay close attention to them and will never let them bring significant losses to your plan." After seemingly hesitating for a moment, Mary nodded. Indicates that he has accepted Ciel's mission. "I will not betray the trust you have placed in me."

"Oh, that would be great!" After getting the answer he wanted, Charles smiled with satisfaction, "Let me just say, you are a smart man... Don't worry. You have always done your best for me, I will never treat you badly.”

"It's my honor to serve you." Mary bowed to Charles.

"Haha, I really like hearing this." Charles laughed. "Okay, I have already handed over the matter to you. You two will decide on your own contact information later. As long as I have you two helping me, I will feel relieved."

Then. He smiled and suddenly felt tired.

"Okay. I don't have anything else to do. You go and do your own thing. I have to take a rest..." He shook his head vigorously, then waved his hand to Albert, "Friend, if you want to have fun, go and have fun yourself. I have to stay here and rest..."

"Hey, you are so worthless, how can you lose your energy after just drinking so much?" Albert shook his head dissatisfied, "Forget it, if you don't want to go, I won't go. It's fine for me to go and play by myself."

Then he stood up slowly and walked out the door, and Mary stood up and followed him.

However, when Albert walked out of the room, Mary did not follow him. Instead, she reached for the doorknob.

Um?

Albert looked back in surprise, and then saw Mary's calm expression.

She gave Albert a friendly nod, and slowly closed the door.

Isn't this already arranged?

Charles is good at everything, but he just likes to play prudes!

He shook his head rather unhappily and walked away down the corridor.

After closing the door, Mary walked inside again. Her expression was very calm, and she didn't even hesitate in her steps.

The decision has already been made, so there is no need to regret or hesitate.

At this time, Ciel was sitting on the edge of the bed, preparing to take a rest before going home. This kind of private club naturally has beds in the room for everyone's convenience.

Charles was a little surprised to see Mary coming back.

"What's wrong with you, Miss? Did you forget to get something?"

"No, sir, I just..." Mary's expression suddenly softened a lot, and she looked a little timid. "I'm just a little worried about you...you drank so much."

"Oh, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern." Charles managed to cheer up and replied, "However, I think I'd better take a rest. After all, I've been busy all day. Why don't you go back first?"

Mary didn't answer, but slowly walked to the bed, then lowered her head and looked at Charles.

Her expression was filled with concern.

"Sir, are you really okay? I'd better stay with you for a while. You seem to have something wrong..."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and looked at Ciel carefully.

Ah, it smells really bad. Why do these men think drinking is a good thing? She felt a little unhappy.

However, of course she could tolerate this discomfort.

"I'm really fine...you still..." Charles was about to say something, but suddenly found that Mary's face was close to his.

"Sir..." Mary's face suddenly turned red. "It's rare that the two of us can be alone for a while, and I want to tell you something."

"What's wrong with you?" At this moment, Charles finally felt that something was wrong. "What do you want to say to me?"

"What I want to say is..." Mary stared at each other closely. Her eyes were misty, as if tears were about to fall at any moment.

Sudden. She threw herself on Ciel and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. "I love you!"

"Hello? What do you mean?" He was surprised. Ciel even sobered up a lot.

However, perhaps because he didn't mind subconsciously, he didn't reach out and push the other person away immediately.

"Yes, I have fallen in love with you a long time ago...very early on," Mary closed her eyes, as if telling herself, "right after you helped me selflessly, I fell in love with you... It’s up to you.”

Then, before Ciel could react. Her tears had already rolled down, "Of course, I know that I am not worthy of you. You can't give me a response, but... at least, I want to tell this matter and let you know that there is someone Silly boy is full of love for you..."

She said she loves me?

Ciel was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.

Is this true?

Maybe it's true, otherwise there's no need for her to tell me that?

Charles’ mind flashed a vague idea.

Although he was not a showy person by nature. But after a long period of smooth sailing, he was infected with the narcissism common among powerful people to some extent, and he also had a vague idea in his heart that "it's not strange that she fell in love with me".

However, although he thought so. But Charles's mind was still very fuzzy, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Mary's voice was still ringing in his ears, but it sounded strangely alienated. It was as if it came from the sky.

"Sir, don't be afraid. I'm not crazy, I'm serious... Yes. I love you. A person, a girl, is willing to work hard and do anything for you. In addition to love, is there any driving force? No... She is just fighting for love. Even if this love is full of bitterness and is destined to not get a good result, she can't help but give everything for the person she loves!"

Mary looked at Charles, her eyes full of intoxication.

Now, Charles is really wrong.

Because they were so close that he could even feel her breathing, Charles' nose was full of the other's fragrance. The heat that hit him, the tone full of temptation, and the touch from his chest made him feel a strange feeling spreading in his heart.

At this moment, as if to give Charles the final blow, she hugged him tighter and kissed him.

When their lips touched, Charles was completely awake. Just like what he usually did with Charlotte and Matilda, he stretched out his tongue and entangled with the other's tongue, and they could never be separated.

It was as if with this kiss, the passion in his heart was burning more and more.

The touch from his chest made him unable to control himself. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand during the passionate kiss and slide down along the large piece of skin on his chest.

The slippery feeling within reach almost swallowed up all his reason and made his blood seem to burn.

This is not good!

The last bit of rationality left made him stop his actions, reluctantly stopped the passionate kiss, and moved his head back a little.

"Marie, this is not a joke?" Charles seemed to be warning the other party, and seemed to be warning himself, "You know, I'm getting married..."

Marie smiled.

This smile was full of determination, and at the same time, there was some sarcasm hidden deep inside that Charles could not see.

"What's wrong? As long as neither of us tells anyone, then isn't this our common secret? A sweet secret worth savoring for a lifetime..." Almost without a teacher, her tone has become full of charm, "Charles, I love you... What are you waiting for? Let's... Now there are only us here, let's leave the best memories together, and other things will be discussed later... I just want to be with you, I don't want anything else..."

After saying that, she hugged Charles again and kissed him again.

Since ancient times, men have always liked women to say this, and Charles is no exception.

The woman in your arms said she loves you, she only wants to be with you... What else can you do?

Anyway, he can only think of one thing, or he doesn't want to think about anything anymore.

Passion and instinct drive him, so he no longer has any scruples.

He has completely thrown other things out of his mind, and only the woman in front of him is in his eyes.

"Okay... okay... okay..." He muttered to himself, but he didn't know what he was saying, and he just felt dry mouth.

He reached out and wanted to untie the other's skirt from behind, but he couldn't find it. In his anxiety, he simply tore it hard.

"Ah..." Mary, who suddenly exposed a large area of ​​skin, exclaimed softly, then smiled again and reached out to untie Charles' tie. "Yes, that's it, Charles... I love you!"

After getting this encouragement, Charles couldn't care about anything else anymore.

Without any hesitation, Charles dragged her to the bed and let her lie on the bed.

Then, he stripped Mary naked impatiently, and took off his own clothes at the same time.

Then, he looked at Mary quietly, then reached out and stroked her fair and smooth skin.

Starting from her face, to her neck, and finally, he put his hands on Mary's surprisingly plump breasts. As if it was a naughty game, he kneaded them gently. Let the white rabbits change into various shapes in his hands.

It was really big...

Now even if she said she wanted to stop, it would probably be too late. That most primitive impulse had occupied all of Charles' mind.

Maybe it was the catalysis of alcohol, but the most important thing was his own nature of seeking pleasure, which might be derived from his blood.

"I love you, Charles..." Although she felt a slight pain in her chest, Mary still had that charming smile on her face, "Come! I will always remember this day."

There was no need to say anything else.

Charles held Mary down, then thrust forward.

It hurts.

Well, this is also expected.

Just think of it as being stung by a scorpion... Mary thought to herself with a complex mixture of joy and anger, relief and fear.

Then, the intense, penetrating pain that kept coming reached her brain, paralyzing her thinking.

This kind of pain made her give up other thoughts for the time being. She just closed her eyes quietly and let the person lying on her do what she did.

As time passed, the pain slowly turned into a tingling pleasure. The pleasure like electric current made Mary regain her consciousness.

I succeeded.

In the midst of this surging pleasure, looking at the man who was shaking like a beast on her body, Mary's lips suddenly showed an imperceptible smile.

Although it is not worth boasting about, success is success. As long as the goal can be achieved, the means are not particularly important.

Yes, relying on unswerving determination and decisive wit, she finally seized the opportunity, achieved her goal, and avoided the bad luck of being driven away.

In order to get what she wanted, she paid what she had to pay as agreed.

very good.

Actually...it's different from what I expected, but it's still quite comfortable...

Then, she mustered up the remaining strength, reached out and hugged Ciel, and once again devoted herself wholeheartedly to this game full of "love".

Charles can't go home today. (To be continued...)
