Chapter 78: chaos
In some appearances, in other places, everywhere is desolate, it is now late autumn, and for the entire civilian population, it has now entered a very terrifying season. Almost everyone without a winter reserve has flocked to London, looking for a chance to survive the harsh winter in this place.
Olam said that London is very beautiful now, and this beauty is ironic in Evan's view.
"Really?" Duke Wilson looked at Oram with a sneer: "It's a pity that Prince George is not in such a beautiful London at this time."
Although Duke Wilson understood Oram's suggestion, he felt very harsh about the beautiful lady Oram said, so he couldn't help sneering.
Duke Wilson's words made Oram's face change. Prince George is now far away from London, which is the most unfavorable situation for them now. If there is any problem before they arrange it properly, I'm afraid it will be It's hard to end.
"That's right." Lord Oram smiled reluctantly. After all, it was the topic he provoked. Even if Duke Wilson was too aggressive, he could only make concessions.
After that, the atmosphere between the three fell into an awkward silence. Oram was worried about Prince George's trip to Wales, and Evan was also full of the direction of the world. Worried, and Duke Wilson simply didn't know what to say, and he was still at a loss when facing Evan.
The trains of this era are not as fast as the trains of many years later, it takes six hours from Delan Lille to London, they get on the train at eight o'clock, and it will be until two noon To arrive, this long period of time has become a kind of torture for several people in the carriage.
Evan pretended to look at the Bible in his hand, but what he thought was how to settle their relationship with the Duke after going to London, this matter lies between the two of them. It is absolutely impossible to solve it. There will always be such a pimple between them, and it will be very detrimental to their future interactions, but how to deal with this pimple is worth Evan's thinking.
Although the train travels slowly, the end point will still be reached. When the train arrives at London Station, the three of them can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The carriage that came to pick up Lord Orlam has stopped at the entrance of the station. Lord Oram warmly invited the Duke to ride in his carriage, and offered to take the Duke personally to the Duke's in London Residence.
Duke Wilson of course would not refuse such a request, after all, no matter what, at this moment he has chosen Prince George, Lord Oram, who is the prince's ally, he still cannot be too indifferent.
Evan looked at everything in front of him. This is where he left half a year ago. Although his church is in the suburbs of London, from time to time, he will come to the city and look at the familiar scenes around him , Evan couldn't help sighing, the city is still so stubborn, even a little bit will not change.
Evan got into Lord Oram's carriage with Duke Wilson, and after the friendly contact just now, the friendly atmosphere between Lord Oram and the Duke seemed to be opened, only Hearing him whisper: "Your Excellency, when you come to London this time, I will first tell you one thing, please don't be in a hurry."
Looking at Lord Orlam's serious face, Duke Wilson couldn't help frowning. He only said such a thing when he arrived in London. Could it be that something changed, Duke Wilson beat a drum in his heart, even Evan on the side also showed a solemn expression.
"You said." Duke Wilson pursed his lips coldly, as if he would regret it if he said something unsatisfactory next.
Lord Oram trembled in his heart, but in the end he said solemnly: "Your cousin, His Majesty King Richard III, I am afraid that within five days, he will be called by the Lord. ."
"What?" Duke Wilson looked shocked. Although he knew before that the old king was seriously ill and must die soon, he didn't know that it would happen so quickly.
"How do you know?" Although Duke Wilson knew that since Oram had said such a thing, it was very likely to be true, but he couldn't help but ask, he and Richard Although De has a normal relationship, he is his cousin after all, his blood relative.
Speaking out, I hope you and Mr. Pastor can keep it a secret."
Lord Oram could see the Duke's trust in the priest, and this matter was not so top secret at this time, so he just released goodwill to the two of them, to show his kindness.
Evan just made a surprised expression, and even made a cross on his chest. At this time, listening to Lord Oram's words, he nodded and said: "Don't worry, this is I will never reveal a word about it."
Although he knew for a long time that the king's life was imminent, but due to the vague description in the book, such a clear date was still unknown.
"This matter is natural, Pastor Bruce is a trustworthy gentleman, you don't have to worry, does George know about this matter?" Duke Wilson asked with a frown.
The old king Richard is not a good-looking mascot. Although he likes his younger brother, Duke of Rand, and does not care enough about his son because of his mistress, he is not an old man after all. Confused, knowing the importance of a prince to the country, so he will hand over the general London guards to Prince George, but at this time the prince is in Wales, if the king has some shortcomings, I am afraid that the prince will be in danger.
, that is the place to die without a burial.
Duke Wilson's frown deepened. Since Prince George knows the news, it means that he has other arrangements, but according to his spies in London, Prince George is indeed He did go to Wales, so what happened to such a play? Duke Wilson is a complete mess right now.
"You..." Duke Wilson glanced at the carriage door: "Just be clear in your mind." This is not the place to talk, and some things should be cautious.
Lord Oram smiled slightly, then said: "I heard that your study has a very rich collection of books, I wonder if I have the honor to read it." The Duke's worries were clear, and naturally he followed the steps.
Duke Wilson nodded and said no more.
Evan sat on the side, watching the two people communicate, his heart is actually very complicated, he is in this position, everyone regards him as an accessory of the Duke, this is for him , is very uncomfortable, but for his social status at this time, if he does not want to change the world, he has no way to change such social status quo, so Evan can only hide his dissatisfaction in his heart, but for further The mood of attacking the Duke became more and more firm.
Butler Reese was very thoughtful, and let a few servants come to this place in advance to clean up the house. After all, this place has not been visited for a long time. It has been several years since the Duke returned to Delan Lier. It has not been lived in for a long time except for inspection and maintenance.
But fortunately this time, the house did not live up to the expectations of housekeeper Chris. The few people who came in advance cleaned up the house very well, and because of the annual maintenance, the house was not too dilapidated. Evan seems that this house does not match his history of more than 100 years.
After arriving at the house, Duke Wilson and Lord Oram quickly went upstairs. They had a lot of things to talk about, but Evan was not qualified to participate.
Evan consciously went to the room that the duke arranged for him, not far from the duke's room. Evan stood at the door and glanced at the duke's study with a very complicated expression in his eyes.
Perhaps his status in the Duke's heart is still the same, but the current status quo is still a little delicate, and Evan must not let this status quo continue.
The conversation between Duke Wilson and Lord Orlam was not long. After half an hour, the two of them came out of the room, and by this time, dinner was ready.
Evan was called down by the servant. When he went down, Duke Wilson and Lord Orlam were already fighting fiercely. The two of them seemed to have completely forgotten the embarrassing scene on the train. It was very pleasant to talk to, and Evan couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it.
"Pastor Bruce." Lord Oram greeted Evan with a smile.
Evan also smiled at him subconsciously, and whispered: "Duke Wilson, Lord Oram."
Duke Wilson restrained his smile the moment he saw him, but felt that it was a bit inappropriate, and finally curled the corners of his mouth a little stiffly.
Seeing Duke Wilson's reaction, Evan couldn't help but groan in his heart, this person is really awkward.
Evan sat on the left of Duke Wilson under the service of the servant, and was opposite to Lord Oram, Lord Oram was in a very good mood at this time, and immediately smiled: "Mr. Reverend , did you know? There will be a dance at my house in a few days, and you must come there, I insist on that."
Evan looked at his excited look and couldn't help but be a little puzzled. They were still saying that King Richard's death was within five days, and now there is a dance party. This jump is really too big.
"I'm flattered by your invitation." Evan smiled very reservedly, since Lord Oram said so, Duke Wilson will definitely not fall, of course he has to go.
Lord Oram smiled and knew that Evan had understood what he meant. For him, perhaps the biggest plan was the ball a few days later. After that ball, they In the end is to soar or fall into hell, it is completely clear.
