During lunch, Kellerman came back. She came back in a hurry, but she didn't do anything after she came back. She just stayed by Verak's side, obviously specially to watch Verak.
After lunch, Kellerman went to Verak's room, and Verak looked through the books Fletcher asked to read in a decent manner.
This was the first Thomas family member, other than Fletcher and the servant, to come in after Verak moved in. Kellerman glanced at her brother's former residence. It was the same as she remembered, and there was no change: "Do you remember how
How are you doing?"
Verak turned to look at Kellerman and put down the book: "That's almost it. Now I just need to read more books that Mr. Chris read during his lifetime to further strengthen the disguise."
"Then let me test you." Being bored here, Kellerman decided to test Verak, "My brother hates him the most. What is he afraid of?"
"Horse riding." Verak blurted out, "Mr. Chris went horse riding with you when he was a child. The horse suddenly lost control and fell. He then rested at home for three months before he could go to the field. Since then, he has never dared to ride a horse again, even if
In the upper class circles, this is a sport that everyone knows how to do."
"What's his favorite thing?"
"Listen to music. He goes to classical concerts every Tuesday, rain or shine. He also has many records in his bedroom, and he knows countless musicians and performers." Verak replied.
After hearing this, Kellerman had no reaction, and she didn't know whether the answer was what she wanted: "I will tell you another piece of information that is not in the brochure. It may be useful in the future."
Verak was all ears.
"I don't know if Chris's friends know it. Anyway, I am the only one at home who knows. Chris admires a person named Elizabeth Boleyn very much. He once told me privately that he wanted to get to know Elizabeth. Unexpectedly,
…”
"Elizabeth Boleyn?" Verak was very familiar with this name. "I should have seen it in the newspaper... She seems to be a stage actress who often appears in newspapers, magazines and calendars."
Kellerman said "Yeah": "She performed on stage for the first time at the age of sixteen, and she conquered the audience with her outstanding beauty and superb acting skills, causing a sensation in Lazerin. From that day on, Elizabeth became a very popular actress.
Celebrities, as long as they participate in stage plays, it is often hard to find tickets. A few years ago, Chris was taken to see a play by his friend Colin. Chris, who was not very interested in stage plays, actually became interested because of it.
Elizabeth began to go to see a stage play in which she participated every week..."
Kellerman told the story of how Chris fell in love with the stage actress who fascinated so many people, and how he tried to get in touch with her and pursue her.
This is a past that even Verak didn't know about in his previous life, and it sounds a little different now.
According to Kellerman, Chris's progress is quite smooth, and he has had dinner with Elizabeth several times - this alone is something that almost no one has done. So it seems that Elizabeth also has a good impression of Chris.
, if things continue like this, maybe it will have a happy ending.
However, four months ago, Chris, who was extremely close to Elizabeth, suddenly cut off all contact with her, killing the still vague love.
This puzzled Kellerman and made him feel sorry for his brother.
After Verak heard this time, his face showed no change, but his heart was greatly shocked.
Because four months ago, it was when Francis passed away that Chris led the rebel organization without hesitation. The timing was too coincidental, and there was no reasonable explanation for Chris's sudden loss of contact with Elizabeth. Verak could only put two things into perspective.
Look at them together.
The most likely reason is that after Francis died, Chris realized that what he was doing was against this powerful country and that he could die at any time. The danger was that he succeeded Francis as the leader of the organization.
Later, it reached the top.
If he were like Frances, not only would he die, but his family and Elizabeth would be in trouble, so she chose to stay away and not have anything to do with it.
I don’t know if this was Chris’s true thoughts at the time, but that was what Verak guessed, so he couldn’t help but look at Christeau a little more.
In this city, there is a group of people who are younger and more responsible than Verak, and who are out of tune with this era. They originally had huge wealth and the most comfortable life, but they still broke away from the vested interests for the sake of fairness to others.
camp.
Verak thought of a sentence he saw yesterday when he was flipping through "On Equality" written by Chris.
Chris said in "Equality": The rich who firmly control the poor, exploit them without a bottom line, and take huge profits are the most disgusting parasites in this society. They whitewash their ugly behavior.
It is high-sounding and discredits the oppressed poor people, so that the poor people will look down on themselves over time and feel that they are parasites.
When Fletcher went to Zwolds to take Verak and others away, he said disdainfully, "It's hard to imagine that there are thousands of such parasitic ghettos in Bressey alone."
At that time, Verak did not have any thoughts of refutation, because even he himself felt that poor people like them who were dirty, uneducated, and looked down upon were parasites in this society. Chris's words awakened him, and they
You make money through your own labor and work hard to get everything you want. Why are you called a parasite?
Who is parasitic on whom?
Who can't live without whom?
Who is oppressing whom?
Verak knew it very well, but he didn't understand why he knew it before, but still surrendered to it, thinking that he was a parasite, and that he was half a head shorter when he was born.
It creates a sense of fear.
why is that?
When the idea of seeking an explanation arose, the first thing that popped into Verak's mind was three words: Theory of Equality.
Perhaps only "The Theory of Equality" written by Chris could explain all of this to him. It would open up his questions and awaken his thoughts.
"This is a very regrettable thing." Kellerman sighed. After she confirmed that Verak was not suspicious, she was too lazy to stay and monitor her. "You can just listen to it, in case his friends
If you mention it, you can handle it."
"Miss Kellerman, I took note of it." Verak nodded.
"Read your book well, I'm leaving first." Kellerman left the room.
Verak shook his head and took out the list from the drawer, but he hesitated when he was about to flip through it, and finally read "Equality" first.
