The Sin of Ludwigs

"Welcome, Miss Ludwigs."

I don’t know why, but they have exactly the same appearance. When facing Earl Elvis, I actually felt a kind of embarrassment like facing an elder. It's not because the above qualities appear in a person who has the same face as him.

"It was an honor to meet you, my lord." I curtseyed.

Earl Elvis didn't stand up. Of course, in his capacity, he didn't need to stand up at all. Regarding my salute, he just nodded to me, and then turned his gaze back to the other end of the long table.

"I heard from your squire that you went hunting bears in the forest."

Earl Elvis used a very flat narrative tone, but it was obvious that the accusation of "why did such a dangerous thing" was hidden underneath this sentence.

Earl Ian gave a "tsk", leaned back, and raised his slender legs loosely.

"It's just hunting, there's nothing to make a fuss about, and there's no one around me." The earl squinted at me, and dragged his voice: "It's you, my dear brother, it seems that you are very fond of the little boy I gave you." The gift doesn't look particularly satisfying, isn't this the type you like? Or have you changed your preferences during my absence?"

"Don't get off topic, Ian, and it's not appropriate to talk about such things in front of a lady."

"You can't say that, my lord brother, if you are not satisfied with my gift, I have to consider whether to take her back so that I can replace it with something more suitable for you. This is also a small part of preparing a gift." Fun." He tapped the arm of the chair, "What do you think?"

My heart suddenly came to my throat - if Earl Elvis is unwilling to accept Earl Ian's "gift", I will lose the opportunity to talk directly with Earl Elvis!

Earl Elvis was silent for a while—maybe 1 minute, maybe 3 minutes, when my palms were sweating, he finally spoke, still in a calm tone: "I see , I am very satisfied with your gift, and there is no need to replace it. Judy, you arrange a room for Miss Edmund."

A housekeeper came out in response. She looked about 40 years old, her hair was tied tightly behind her head, her mouth was pursed, and she looked at me severely. Every detail is extremely demanding housekeeper.

"Yes, my lord. Miss Edmund, please follow me."

When I breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave with the housekeeper, Earl Ian made a stop gesture.

"It is impossible, my brother, to say that you are satisfied without trying it. You do not appear to be truly satisfied. You know, I have prepared a gift for you for a long time, and I have spent no more thought than gold diggers from thousands There are few rare golds out of tens of thousands of sands, and you treat them so lightly, which really makes me sad."

It can be seen that even Miss Judy was very embarrassed by the conflicting orders of the two earls. She looked at Earl Elvis, who finally showed a little lively reaction to her brother's unreasonable trouble— — he sighed slightly.

"Okay, what do you want me to do?"

"Don't make it sound like I want to force you to eat raw venison." Earl Ian snorted, turned to me, and lifted his chin: "Ludwigs, remember what you said, Now, do your duty—don't you see the wine on the table? Haven't poured a glass for your host?"

Suddenly becoming the focus of the dispute made my mind go blank. I looked at Earl Elvis, hoping that he would refute Earl Ian's words, but the latter just looked at me and did not speak to revoke Earl Ian's order. Meaning, so I could only bite the bullet and walk to the table, picked up the gold wine jug inlaid with rubies, and poured the fragrant wine inside into the transparent crystal glass next to it.

When I put down the jug and glanced at the maids serving the masters who were standing opposite me, hoping that one of them would come out and take the wine glass away to relieve me, Earl Ian's words knocked mercilessly. Shattered my fantasy: "Since it's ready, why don't you send it to your master?"

The amber liquid swayed charmingly in the glass, I hesitated for a while, then picked up the glass, and walked towards Earl Elvis step by step under Earl Ian's persuasive gaze.

"My lord, may your health be like a pine tree that is not afraid of the cold, and it will last forever."

Facing Earl Elvis's calm blue eyes, for some reason, I stuttered a bit, and I forgot all the exaggerated toasts I used to say without thinking—— The earl's eyes, I always feel that I have returned to the guilty conscience when I was lying to Mr. Charles and Viscount Edmund when I was a child.

What I was most afraid of since I was a child is this kind of serious person who is my superior. Needless to say, Mr. Shire, as my tutor, he has the right to punish me that even the viscount can't question. He waved the whip at me when he thought it was necessary. I still remember the pain in my palms when I couldn’t finish my homework. It would be nice not to add insult to injury when Mr. Charles punished me. This once caused me to be closer to my blood father than to my nominal father in a certain period of time; as for the Viscountess—the mother’s education for her son She has no right to speak, and of course, she has no time to control me.

Earl Elvis looked at me, facing his gaze, my heart was pounding, fearing that he would see something, I involuntarily lowered my eyes and stared at the grapevine pattern carved on the wine glass.

There was another unspeakable silence. I have never encountered such an embarrassing situation in my memory. When I was about to find a gap to sneak into the ground, Earl Elvis stretched out his hand to me.

This immediately saved me from embarrassment. I took a step forward, and when I was about to send the wine glass to the earl and then retreated, the earl's hand bypassed the wine glass in my hand and directly grabbed my wrist.

"grown ups?"

Faced with my doubts, Earl Elvis simply said "Hmm", and pulled me over with a gentle but very firm force, and then took the wine glass in my hand with one hand, and the other He clasped my waist directly with his hands and pulled me into his arms with force.

When I fell into the arms of Earl Elvis, my whole mind was in a daze.

This is simply the reenactment of the scene where Earl Ian caught me when he was drunk before. These two people—should it be said that they really deserve to be twin brothers?

The feeling of being held in someone else's arms makes me extremely uncomfortable. Although the dining room is warm and pleasant, I can still feel the hot temperature of the Earl's legs through the clothes, but Earl Elvis doesn't seem to care about my slight resistance at all. , He embraced me with one arm, and with the other he picked up the wine glass he had taken from me and drank it down in one gulp.

"Are you satisfied with this?" He said to Earl Ian.

Hearing this sentence, I realized that it was Earl Elvis who saw his brother's intention to play tricks on others, so he simply pulled out the bottom line, so I immediately calmed down.

Earl Ian, who was sitting across from us, looked at me and then at Earl Elvis. It was obvious that Earl Elvis' actions exceeded his expectations, and my current state also made it impossible for him to propose new things to me. requirements.

"It seems that during my absence, you have learned some new knowledge in New Jersey, and you are no longer as confused as before." I don't know why, but I always feel a subtlety in his tone "Since this is the case, it seems that there are some things that I don't need to teach you. My elder brother, I wish you a pleasant evening to enjoy the scenery of England."

Earl Ian gave me a meaningful look, and after leaving these words, he got up and walked out of the dining room, and a large group of his attendants followed immediately.

Earl Elvis watched Earl Ian and his attendants leave until their shadows had disappeared outside the door, then turned to me and asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"

When he said this, he finally let go of my waist, like a prisoner who has obtained the gift of the monarch, I immediately stood up and stepped back, and then respectfully replied: "Not yet, my lord, your I'm flattered to ask."

"Miss Judy will arrange dinner and room for you." Earl Elvis pointed to the housekeeper, who nodded to me, "You follow her first, she will arrange everything, and I will arrange everything later to see you."

"Sir, I..."

The poured words rolled and rolled on the tip of my tongue, and finally my reason stopped me from speaking the truth in front of many servants and housekeepers.

"Miss Edmund, please follow me."

When the housekeeper was about to take me away, the count thought for a while and called her.

"Judy, arrange for her to live in the suite on the third floor."

A look of obvious surprise appeared on the serious face of the housekeeper. She looked at me and then at the count, as if she was confirming something. After a while, she said: "Follow your orders, my lord."

It wasn't until I stepped into the room that Miss Judy had arranged for me that I realized why she was surprised.

It was a suite composed of a living room, a living room, a dressing room and a private prayer room. The living room was white. Although it was well maintained, the room clearly had the kind of atmosphere that no one lived here for a long time.There are elegant red spots on the golden arabesque tapestry, the carved window panes are all ivory white, and the egg-shaped picture frames hanging on the wall are painted by famous masters. The best silk and other materials are used - this room is definitely not for entertaining ordinary guests.

However, no matter how luxurious the room is, it has nothing to do with me. It will have to be changed anyway. With this in mind, I refused Miss Judy’s proposal to ask someone to change my clothes for me, and stayed alone in the living room and waited restlessly for more than an hour. Hour.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the evening that I vaguely heard the voices of the maids saying hello from outside the door, and then the door of the living room was opened, and Earl Elvis walked in.

"I kept you waiting for a long time, and some things have been delayed."

Compared with when we first met, the earl has changed into a relatively loose home clothes, he said to me gently while taking off his gloves.

I watched the earl walking towards me. If he hadn't spoken, I wouldn't have been able to tell which of the twins it was under the candlelight.

When Earl Elvis stretched out his hand to the belt around my waist, I gritted my teeth, took a few steps back, pulled off the necklace that was used to cover my Adam's apple, and knelt down directly.

"My lord, I beg your mercy, I beg you to forgive the sin of deceiving you by a poor man who was forced to commit it - there has never been a so-called Ludwigs Franchemon in this world. Miss Edmund, that is a person who does not exist."

This time, I used my own voice.

The living room suddenly fell into a suffocating silence, so silent that I could only hear my own beating heartbeat. It was obviously winter, but the cold sweat on my back had already soaked my clothes.

I stared at the pattern on the carpet, as if there was a treasure map on it, and I didn't dare to lift my head.

Until the earl's faint voice came from above his head.

"I know."
