Flowers, Swords and France

After leaving the garden, the two people walked back to the hall, then passed the stairs to the second floor, and continued walking down the spacious mansion. ∈,

Under the guidance of the caretaker, they came all the way upstairs and looked at each room.

These rooms are all well preserved, but the furniture is very scattered, and many small objects are scattered on the ground, making it look very messy.

When Charles and Charlotte came all the way to the prince's bedroom, they found that it was messier than other places - the bed had collapsed, the quilt and sheets had been wrinkled and covered with dust. The ground was covered with pieces of porcelain, and the paintings in the frames had long since disappeared. Even the clock on the desk had been pried open and the gold-plated casing taken away.

Ciel and Charlotte looked at the man leading the way, then looked at each other.

Because of the haste of the February Revolution, the rule of the July Dynasty was declared extinct in just a few days, and the owner, Prince Jourville, also fled France in panic. They must have had no time to pack up the things here. The messy arrangement of things is obviously the result of the revolution - although the government has taken this place as public property, the guarding here is not strong. It is very easy for people to take something away from here, even the guard himself Maybe a lot of things were taken away from there and sold outside.

However, at this time, Ciel and Charlotte were certainly not in the mood to pursue such a matter.

"Charle, it doesn't matter that everything here is scattered, I don't want to use the things that the Orleans people used!" After a moment of silence, Charlotte suddenly smiled. "Hmph, especially the ones here. I would take them out and burn them in public. I really want to see the gnashing of teeth of Louis-Philippe's son. Hahahaha!!"

"Well, you're right." Charles agreed casually, because he was not afraid of offending the previous royal family.

Then, they left here and walked to the library.

Compared with other rooms, the library is very well-preserved. The exquisite walnut bookshelves are lined with neat hardcover books. The reason why they are so well-preserved may be because the looters have no care for the books. For some reason.

And in the center of the room. There is a large globe on display.

Charles looked at the globe with great interest, so he walked to it and turned it gently.

Charlotte, on the other hand, focused on other aspects.

She found that the lighting in the library was very good, sunlight could penetrate from the front, and there was a balcony outside. Moreover, from the windows here, you can just see the garden.

Charlotte's heart moved, and an idea suddenly occurred to her.

"Char. Are we going to use this as a bedroom from now on? I think this place should be very good. As long as we renovate it and add a good set of furniture, we will be able to live very comfortably in the future..."

Although it is a question. But she had already made a decision in her heart, because...she didn't want to sleep in the room where the Orleans guys slept.

However, her expectant question received no response from Ciel. Only a hissing sound was heard.

She turned around and found that Ciel didn't pay attention to what she was saying. He was just playing with the globe with great interest, and now his eyes seemed to be on the Black Sea. I don't know what I was thinking about, and my hands kept sliding on it.

Charlotte felt a little unhappy.

Really, at this age, you still act like a middle school student, playing with these things!

"Ciel..." Charlotte couldn't help shouting in a low voice.

"Yeah, okay, I'll do as you say!" As if he was stimulated, Charles replied repeatedly, but his eyes were still on the globe. "I fully comply with your wishes."

"Ciel!" Charlotte walked up to Charles and pulled his ear hard.

"Ah!" Ciel, who was caught off guard by the pain in his ears, immediately cried out in pain. Then he finally came to his senses and quickly apologized to the somewhat annoyed Charlotte, "Ah, Charlotte, I'm sorry! I just got distracted. …”

"Humph, is it just for a moment?!" Charlotte still angrily scolded Charles, "You are always absent-minded when talking about this kind of thing. Have you forgotten? This is our home. How can you act like it has nothing to do with you? You have been like this since you were a child, always doing some inexplicable things..."

Charles suddenly didn't know how to answer Charlotte.

To be fair, he really didn't care much about this kind of thing. For him, as long as the most basic comfort and safety can be guaranteed, it doesn't make any difference where he lives, which room his bedroom is in, what furnishings he uses. It's really difficult to get him to cheer up and discuss this kind of thing - besides, Charlotte has the final say on this kind of thing anyway, so most of what he says is in vain, so he might as well kill the time by looking at the globe. Woolen cloth.

However, of course he didn't dare to say this to Charlotte directly.

In order to make Charlotte happy, he deliberately gave a few trivial and obviously bad opinions on the furnishings of the future bedroom, waiting for Charlotte to refute it completely, and then praised Charlotte. With his special elegance and taste, he said that he completely complied with all Charlotte's opinions, and finally turned Charlotte's anger into happiness again.

"That's it, don't say stupid things, do as I say, Ciel..." Charlotte seemed to have completely forgotten that she was asking Ciel to express his opinion just now, and said to Ciel excitedly, "Grandpa has promised to give me a large dowry. Originally, I was worried about what would happen if It costs a lot to build a house, but now, we can just use this place... So why should we save money on decoration? I must decorate this place from beginning to end, let's... let Our children will live the most comfortable life in the future..."

When she mentioned "our children", Charlotte was obviously a little intoxicated, and even her eyes seemed to be shining.

Our children!

There was a slight cold sweat on Charles' head.

He didn't think that far ahead about his future life, he had enough on his plate right now.

However, is there any reason to pour cold water on it at this time?

At this moment, Charles suddenly remembered something. Then Charles took out his pocket watch and looked at it secretly.

It feels like I’ve only been here not long ago, but it’s already been this long...

He secretly groaned inwardly, because he had other things to do today, and a very important meeting in the ministry that he was scheduled to host, and he had already wasted a lot of time with Charlotte looking at the house. I'm afraid Gotta hurry up.

But how do you say goodbye to Charlotte who is in high spirits? Ciel was a little confused.

Looking at Charlotte's radiant face, Charles couldn't say what he wanted to leave - it could be seen that Charlotte was truly happy and looking forward to their marriage. How could he bear to say goodbye suddenly like this when the two of them had a happy life in the future?

Then, he hesitated, wondering whether he should simply postpone this important meeting.

"Charle, what's wrong with you?" However, Charlotte had already noticed his little move and asked directly, "Is there anything you have to do later?"

Ciel was shocked, but he still managed to laugh.

"Well, yes...I suddenly remembered that there are some important things to do this afternoon...But, Charlotte, don't worry about it so much. I will continue to accompany you today. I can postpone the matter for a while."

"No need to delay, you have been with me long enough today, and I don't want to drag you anymore..." Perhaps because she was in such a good mood, Charlotte was surprisingly easy to talk to today. "You can handle those matters later to save those people from complaining about you privately."

"Charlotte..." Ciel looked at Charlotte hesitantly, feeling very happy that Charlotte was being reasonable today.

If Charlotte can be so reasonable in the future, maybe my married life will indeed be very happy in the future? He suddenly thought so.

"What, isn't it good? Charles, don't worry, I won't be angry." Seeing that Charles was still hesitating, Charlotte suddenly smiled, "Young and promising Mr. Treville, I will hand you over. Give it back to this great country, I hope everything will be fine for her.”

After confirming that Charlotte was not joking, Ciel finally nodded.

"As long as you're happy, everything will be fine for her."

Then, Charles hugged Charlotte, kissed her face, and left the library delicately.

After watching Charles leave, Charlotte looked at the room again and thought carefully about how to arrange it in the future. Then, she walked out of the room and continued to look elsewhere.

As she watched, a whole set of renovation plans for the mansion slowly took shape in Charlotte's mind. She was overjoyed because she would soon be able to live with her beloved in a home that she could modify at will and that was completely her own - wasn't this the greatest happiness a girl could hope for?

What a wonderful thing it would be if there were not so many unfortunate noises mixed in with the happiness in the world.

When Charlotte finished inspecting the second floor and walked down the stairs, a sigh suddenly came from downstairs.

"Wow, this is such a great place!"

This is a passionate exclamation belonging to young people.

Charlotte followed the sound and looked downstairs, and found her unknown cousin Ezreal Walter, wearing a gray-yellow coat and a crooked black tie, standing in the hall. , looking up at myself.

"You came a little earlier than I thought. Fortunately, Charles has already left..." Charlotte smiled and greeted him, "Sir, you said you wanted to see me, what do you want to say? "(To be continued...)
