The Sin of Ludwigs

"I—I don't believe that such absurd things can happen, this is just your baseless guess—"

I could hear my own voice dry, strangely unlike my usual voice.

This is really ridiculous, so ridiculous that people with such dirty thoughts should be tied to the stake, even if the nobles have never had any concept of loyalty, it is very bad to make such a joke-I am very sorry Think calmly.

However, the sense of fear spreading from the bone marrow is still lingering. I think of Ian's impeccable look when he imitated Elvis that day, and I think of what he said to "enjoy" the ransom I paid I even remembered the vague feeling that something was wrong when I was awakened by a nightmare last night and saw Elvis who came back from the outside—was it really Elvis who came back at that time?Is that uneasy feeling, my intuition warning me?

The slender fingers wrapped in white gloves are playing with the hanging hair charmingly and casually. Caroline looks at me and smiles sweetly. I am not unfamiliar with this kind of smile. It is usually a winner facing a defeated competitor. smile when.

"If you mean solid evidence, then I really don't have such evidence. It's up to you to believe this fact, and it's up to you to confirm it—but you can actually feel it, otherwise you won't It wouldn't be that reaction, would it?"

Her voice was very coquettish, as if she was acting coquettishly with her lover, but what she said from her rosy lips were poisonous words, which hit my heart directly.

"Speaking of it, I really admire you very much. Over the years, it is the first time I have seen someone who can fascinate two adults at the same time, especially Mrs. Elvis. I have never seen But for whom has he lost his mind, and even for you, he can't even care about the possible damage to the reputation of the Haggis family, this is something that even Beatrix can't do!"

"You must be out of your mind, how could Elvis allow such a thing!"

I yelled out of control.

"On the contrary, when Beatrix came up with that idea in the Kollak Manor, I knew that what happened today would definitely happen. Mr. Edmund, never underestimate the keenest intuition that God bestows on a woman, after all I have been by Lord Ian's side for several years."

"You don't have any evidence, this is just your wild guess, why should I believe such absurd things." I tried to calm my shortness of breath, "This is your fan, please put it away yourself, I think I'm going back."

I took two steps up and handed out the fan wrapped in a handkerchief that was stained with dirt.

Caroline didn't answer. She squinted at me for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject.

"Do you still remember the fan of that little girl named Anne in Kolleck Manor?"

I remember, of course, that the fan was a disaster in a sense, and that was the reason Ian threatened me and Annie to hang me.

Caroline frowned slightly.

"Didn't you be surprised at how you exposed it? Let me tell you, the fan was left by the biological mothers of the two adults in the Kollek Manor many years ago, and it has been kept in the manor by Lord Elvis. side room."

"And the outfit she was wearing at that time - why do you think none of the women around Mrs. Ian wore British attire at that time, so she was the only one to show off?"

"It has nothing to do with me. Even if it did, it was a long time ago."

I'm in a mess right now, I don't have the heart to listen to her gossip, I just want to get away from this terrible woman and go back to the room to calm myself down.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Are you afraid that you will no longer be able to deceive yourself by telling the truth?" Caroline's position just blocked my way, and she didn't seem to want to get out of the way at all, "Ah By the way, you probably don't know what the biological mother of the two adults looks like, but to be honest, you and her are actually very similar."

This sentence successfully stopped me in my tracks.

"What do you mean?" I stared into her eyes.

Caroline laughed.

"The biological mothers of those two adults were English, just like you, with black hair and brown eyes, so the maids around Lord Elvis have always been this type, with exactly the same black hair and brown eyes, English, but Lord Ian hates this type of woman very much—do you understand? If you were a woman, Lord Ian would not even look at you, but you are a man."

"Beatrix—" she paused slightly, her tone was a bit gritted, "she also knows this secret, so she deliberately dressed you up as a woman to send you to Lord Elvis , by the way, Lord Ian hates you, and in the end, heh, I guess she didn't expect to add a competitor to herself."

"But even if what you said is true, I don't actually pose a threat to your status. How will it affect you if I leave the Frigu Manor now and leave the Frigu Manor in the future?" I asked, "You What is the purpose? Do you want to say that just because you are jealous of the relationship between me and Lord Ian, you can ask me to leave here at the risk of angering the two adults? Are you not afraid that I will treat the two adults? My lord, tell me what you said? You have been by Lord Ian's side for so long, I believe you are not such an impulsive and brainless person."

Caroline raised her eyebrows in surprise, she obviously didn't expect me to ask her such a question, but soon her expression became cold.

"Isn't it enough for you to think rationally about leaving even if the relationship between you and the two adults is against religious belief?"

"I'm an aristocrat, and the principle of an aristocrat is always to do anything for profit, even if it violates the teachings, it's nothing big." I said, putting on an air of indifference, "If I listen to your words and leave, I will provoke you." Angering the two lords will bring disasters that could have been avoided; and if I choose to believe in lord Elvis, at most I will have to wait for a while, but I can leave with a decent identity, no matter how I look at it, I will choose the latter option Better."

"Oh, by all means, that's exactly what people like you would do." Caroline looked at me, "You can wait for the letter that you may never get, but my friends, including you That lovely Miss Anne will be sent away by adults because of you."

My heart trembled, as if my chest had been hollowed out by something.

"What did you say—is Annie going to be sent away?"

"Why, didn't Mr. Fred tell you that Sir Ian has already given her to him." Caroline looked at me coldly, "And other people will also be present at the birthday celebration of the two adults. Afterwards, they were sent away one after another—this is what I personally heard Lord Ian give the housekeeper, and the direct reason is you."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Because you like women."

This unexpected reason made me speechless, and at the same time I finally knew why Caroline was so hostile to me today.

Caroline looked at me blankly.

"I really hate you, Mr. Edmund. Because of your appearance, my girlfriends have to leave here, lose their stable and comfortable life, and may even suffer a tragic and unpredictable fate; you must know Once those people are tired of them, what kind of end can a woman who loses protection have in this world. We could have lived here happily and happily all the time, but you let them leave the protection of the Earl, because of this, I will never forgive you, Mr Edmund."

"I know you don't like me, and I don't care, but I hope you will carefully consider your situation and theirs." Caroline buried her hands in the soft ermine muff, without even looking at the one in my hand. The fan glanced, turned around lightly, and left the last sentence: "If you change your mind, you can go to Baron Fred. Miss Anne also hopes to see you."

"Annie...?" I murmured to myself with a wry smile after Caroline walked away, "Annie, you really...killed me!"

The small fan in his hand was as heavy as a thousand catties. Anne was a slave of the Haggas family. If Earl Ian really gave her to Baron Fred, even Elvis would not be able to change it. It is an established fact that although they are all the masters of Higgs, going back on their promises will only stain the reputation of the Higgs family.

And when I think of Elvis and the gentle look in his eyes when he handed me the letter this morning, I feel my heart clenched and I can hardly breathe.

What Caroline said, is it true?If so, then Elvis he...

Aristocrats can do whatever it takes to benefit, and of course Viscount Edmund can too.

But—Ludwig would be sad.

Caroline's girlfriend refers to female friends, don't think wrong

But in fact, it’s not surprising that it’s crooked. 2333 Anyway, it’s normal to have no morals in that era.

Oh, cute little fairy, thank you for the cute catnip~ Speaking of cats, the shop with cats next to the company hasn’t opened yet, so I’m a little sad
