Chapter Thirteen The stubbornness of a girl
"Miss Antonia, even if you are unwilling to eat, I will not let you leave here. Master Andrea has already told me that you must not leave my sight this time." In the room, the middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper looked at the girl in front of him and said calmly, without any intention of giving in.
At this moment, the girl who was furious had not eaten for two days and wanted to protest her brother's dominance in this way, but unfortunately it was useless. The housekeeper in front of him just brought food and drink regularly, and was always looking at him at him, and there was no chance to take advantage of it.
"Mr. Charles, you can do it! Now I can't escape anyway, so let me go out for some breath! This is basically house arrest!" I saw a pitiful girl who had already changed into a light blue dress begging pitifully.
But Charles was indifferent to this, because he was familiar with the young lady's methods, and he decided not to be fooled again this time, and said seriously: "Miss Antonia, when you escaped from me a year ago in Constantinople, you should have known that I would never be fooled by you again."
Seeing that the other party was not fooled at all, the Genoese girl in front of her gave up her efforts as if she was deflated. After all, with Mr. Charles's old-fashioned personality, he would definitely not make a second mistake after being fooled once. If she couldn't even get out of here, then she really had no way out.
I don’t know what my brother said to Justinian there… If he discovered something, it would be bad…
Even though it was still a girl who was a little bitch on the surface, Antonia was actually anxious and became more upset the more she thought about it. It was obvious that everything had been arranged, but the thing she was most worried about was still happened and her brother caught her. If this continues, Andrea must take her back to Genoa, and Antonia knew the consequences that this meant. At the beginning, she fled for the marriage to the Milanese arranged by her family. If she was taken back this time, it would be difficult to leave again.
The family can't help but turn me into a canary in their cage and send it to others to please! The girl secretly made up her mind, but Antonia was at a loss for a moment when she could break the current dilemma.
In short, just pay this guy who is in trouble first.
"Mr. Charles, I want to see my brother. I have something to say to him!" The girl, who made up her mind, said loudly to the old housekeeper in front of her.
The middle-aged butler in front of him was still as frosty as he was unwilling to give in at all, and said coldly: "I said, Miss, you cannot leave here half a step before you arrive in Constantinople. This is the order of Master Andrea!"
"I didn't say I wanted to leave here. Mr. Charles, I'll stay here. It's okay to let my brother come over!" The girl said carelessly, but the more this happened, Charles dared not be careless. He had suffered a loss once, but after all, the other party's status was noble for a moment, he couldn't help but hesitate whether he should agree to Antonia's request.
And just then, behind him, the door of the room was pushed open, and a young man walked in with a serious look on his face. It was Antonia's brother Andrea Doria.
"Master Andrea!"
"elder brother!"
Seeing his appearance, both Charles and Antonia were surprised. Unexpectedly, Andrea would suddenly come here at this time.
"You go out first, Mr. Charles." Andrea, who had not spoken after coming in, said, looking at the man beside him, and his face was still extremely serious. Although this young man seemed calm, the oppression he gave was extremely heavy.
For a moment, Charles couldn't help but feel a little shocked, but hesitated and said: "But, Master Andrea, Lord Constance said..."
"You don't need to remind me of this. I will explain it clearly with Uncle Constance. You go down first!" The young man who only met with anger suddenly increased his tone, which made Charles nod tactfully and carefully left the room. Only the brother and sister were left.
But as the other person left, the atmosphere in the room became awkward and silent at this moment.
"Aren't you clamoring to see me just now? Why can't you speak now?" Andrea, with a stern face, looked at his sister and said.
Facing this brother who was born with his compatriots, Antonia, who had always been eccentric and fearless, could not help but secretly stick out her tongue and dare not make a sound.
"I knew you were planning a trick again. I think it's been more than a year, and now you should know where you are wrong, Antonia! Don't be tantrums anymore, go back to Genoa with me. How can a girl show up in public before she gets married?" Seeing that her sister remained silent, Andrea said in a deep voice, as if she was teaching Antonia a lesson in the tone of her father.
But to his surprise, Antonia Doria, who had always been as gentle as a bird in front of him, turned apart and said righteously:
"No, I don't want to go back! I've had enough of this. I'm your sister, not your political chip. Although you are my brother, you are not qualified to manipulate my life. I will not follow the arrangements of the family to marry the Milanese. Unless you want to get a corpse."
"Don't be willful anymore, Antonia! A year has passed, aren't you awake yet? It seems that I used to indulge you too much. Do you think you have a choice now?" The angry Andrea was obviously very angry and was very annoyed by the willfulness of the sister in front of him. Now the competition between Genoa and Venice is a necessary means to make friends with the Milanese people at a critical moment. Since the family has made a decision, as a member of the family, everything must be focused on the republic. Moreover, the marriage object is the prominent in the city of Milan. In Andrea's opinion, this was a very good thing, but because of Antonia's departure, everything has been complicated. Over the past year, the attacks he received in the Doria family have mostly come from. Andrea, who has had enough of these, has made up his mind to completely solve these things, and would rather break up with his sister than bring them back.
However, just as the atmosphere had dropped to freezing point and the relatives turned against it, a lazy voice suddenly came from behind Andrea Doria.
"Hey, please, it's really bad to be a brother to this point. Didn't Antonia already say that she doesn't want to go back with you, right?"
At some point, the door that was originally under the custody of Charles had been quietly opened, and a young man leaned against the eaves and said angrily. He was not someone else, justinian who should have been under house arrest in another room!
