Chapter 74: Check the situation
The dark tide at the lunch table did not affect the mood of the gentlemen. After lunch, several good gentlemen gathered in the Duke's living room in groups of three and five, each Sitting and chatting, of course, is still centered on the Duke, but there are only three or five people who can sit next to the Duke.
Colonel Mayer and Evan were of course one of them, but in addition to them was Lord Orlam from London, the only son of the esteemed Duke of Field, who was just two years old this year Fifteen years old, he is already a famous hero in London. At the end of last year, he entered the House of Lords, and he is still a colleague with the Duke.
"Your Majesty." Lord Oram, in a reserved tone typical of noble children: "My father conveys his sincere greetings to you."
Lord Oram is a very handsome young man with meticulous brown curly hair and bright light in his light brown eyes.
The Duke also seemed to like him very much, and nodded with a smile: "Your father is a gentleman I respect very much. It's a pity that he can't come this time."
, cannot travel far."
"Is it so serious? Oh, it's really bad, please don't be too sad." The Duke looked at Lord Oram with some surprise.
In fact, everyone knows that although Lord Oram is the only son of Duke Field on the surface, Duke Field is not an honest man. He has an illegitimate child outside, and it is said that he This illegitimate child is still doted on. For the young Oram, I am afraid that the death of Duke Field is the best thing.
Olam smiled reluctantly: "Please rest assured, my father is a strong man, he will be fine."
Duke Wilson smiled with a flickering expression, will it get better? Oram has now completely taken over the political legacy of the Duke of Mayfair, and I am afraid that the Duke of Field will have no chance to get better again.
"That's good, I hope to see Duke Field again next year." Duke Wilson's tone was very sincere, and he really thought so in his heart. The only difference was that he did not Knowing that at that time, which Duke of Field will come.
Lord Oram accepted Duke Wilson's blessing, and the two happily talked about the changes in the imperial capital these days.
The old king is at stake, but at this time Prince George was sent by the Duke of Rand, who is the regent, to inspect the Wales area. The duke has always been eyeing the throne. Although Prince George is from the queen, and also has some military power in the imperial capital, if he cannot return to London when the king dies, I am afraid that the throne will not be guaranteed.
What can I say, the old king trusts the Duke of Rand very much, but he doesn't like Prince George very much. He was separated from the queen for many years because of a mistress. To be honest, judging from the current situation, he is very critical to Prince George. .
Such a power grab would be very dangerous for most people doing it, not to mention Duke Wilson and Lord Orlam, who are related to the royal family, both nobles The best among them have a deeper understanding of such a crisis.
But even so, it is not appropriate to talk about these things on such occasions, and the Duke only talked with Lord Oram about the king's condition in general terms, and Prince George's departure to Wales Blessings from the region, the other two just glanced at each other and knew roughly what the other meant.
Lord Orlam and Prince George have a good relationship and naturally support Prince George. Although Duke Wilson seems neutral, everyone knows that Duke Wilson and Duke Rand have been mortal enemies for many years , The two have been fighting each other since their student days, and at this juncture, they will naturally not support this violent regent.
"Your Majesty." During the interval when all the gentlemen were going to rest, Lord Oram suddenly whispered: "Excuse me, can I tell you something alone?"
Duke Wilson raised his head and glanced at the crowd around him who was unaware, and then glanced at Evan, who was chatting with Colonel Mel, and nodded imperceptibly: "I am in the study room. Waiting for you." He said in a tone that no one could hear except Lord Oram next to him.
Talking privately, then it is very likely that this decisive person can be drawn over.
Although Evan was having a good conversation with Colonel Mel, his energy has always been on Duke Wilson and the Lord Orlam.
When the Lord appeared in front of Evan for the first time, Evan was actually a little confused. This Lord is indeed a character in the story, but when he appeared in the book At that time, he was already the respected Duke of Field, which was also known to Evan during his conversation with the Duke, otherwise Evan would have almost not recognized this man who occupies a very important position in the second half of the book. Lord Duke.
Growing up, the relationship is more intimate than others, but it is impossible to say which type of support is fully supported. You must know that the biggest forces supporting Prince George at this time are the Holy See and some civil servants, and the nobles are still very cautious at this time.
But Evan knew very well how loyal Lord Oram was to Prince George, so much so that when Prince George finally came to the throne, the future Duke of Field, was How powerful.
Evan saw the small gestures between Duke Wilson and Lord Orlam, and knew very well that the union of these two people was unstoppable. Duke Wilson is a very smart person, although in form now It was very unfavorable to Prince George, but he also saw the hidden dangers in the Duke of Rand. The Duke of Rand is not a clear-headed person. If such a person is allowed to sit on the throne of the king, It was a disaster for the whole country.
Evan returned to his room, and Evan actually agreed with Duke Wilson's political choice, just because Duke Rand instigated the strength of Duke Wilson who did not support him The fact that the Yorkshire mob is rioting shows how crazy this man is.
It would cause such a turmoil that it almost burned down Duke Wilson's castle, and Duke Wilson's subsequent revenge against these people also caused a devastating blow to the entire Derainier.
Evan couldn't help trembling, he never wanted such a thing to happen to him, the premise of the Duke's blackening in the original book was that the heroine was hurt, and little Edward also died in the riots of the mob , If such a terrible thing hadn't happened, maybe the Duke would have been a little more sensible and wouldn't ignore the innocent villagers who were kidnapped by the mob, let the army rush into Deran Lier, and let the innocent people die under the mob's butcher's knives.
Evan clenched his fist tightly. Before, he just wanted to live better in such times and seek self-protection, but now he suddenly thinks of Mrs. Sanders and money Sheriff Dele, is he really going to sit back and watch this happen to them again? Evan clenched his teeth tightly. Maybe he could achieve the ultimate in human indifference before, but now when he finally integrates into this world, he is suddenly a little confused in the face of such a thing.
Evan looked down at his hands, since he came here, he has been looking for how to make himself better, but he never thought, when he really likes What should I do when I go to this place, these people are no longer just a simple image like I imagined before. They have flesh and blood, feelings and souls, and they are all living people!
What should he do, what should he do? Evan suddenly found that, deep in his heart, there was only one answer left for this question, and he had to change the result!
Evan suddenly stood up from the chair. If he wants to change this situation, then the relationship between him and the duke must not stop, he must speed up his pace , Only when the relationship between them is established, will he be more confident if he wants to change the future. As he is now, he has no such opportunity to understand this matter, let alone warn the Duke about the direction of the matter.
Evan is a person with very strong willpower. Since one thing is decided, his action power is also very high.
After dinner that night was over, Evan invited the duke who wanted to go upstairs to his room at night, and wanted to discuss some things with him.
The Duke's face flushed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and when he finally agreed, his tongue curled a little.
After returning to the room, Evan immediately took a bath. He usually appears in front of the duke in a dignified and cautious state, and it is time to change the duke's inherent impression of him .
Evan did not rush to change into formal clothes after taking a bath, but only wore a white shirt and a pair of trousers, the collar of the shirt was loosely open, revealing a beautiful collarbone , At this time, the originally fair cheeks were slightly reddish due to the dense steam, and even the originally meticulous golden curly hair was messed up by him with a dry towel at this time, and it seemed to have a trace of decadence.
Evan looked at the somewhat unfamiliar self in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction.
