Until she said good night to her mother, Xia Lu had not recovered from the mental shock just now, and was still in a state of confusion.
What my mother said just now was so full of confidence and so impactful that even someone as smart as her could not recover from it for a while.
His Majesty is actually... ready to bombard Paris at any time. It would be hard for people to believe this kind of thing.
However, if you think about it carefully, this is definitely a "final solution" as a last resort, and it will not be launched easily - unless another turmoil similar to that in 1830 breaks out in Paris.
Of course, if the past events of 1830 really happened again, the dynasty itself would not tolerate any mercy at the moment of life and death - after all, only surviving politicians are qualified to discuss morality. If they are ousted, there will be nothing left.
.
In short, since His Majesty and the Imperial Government have already had a response plan, then my worries are just unfounded worries, which is a good thing - after all, the fate of myself and Alice's mother and daughter are bound to
If the empire really capsizes on the big ship of the Bonaparte family, even if it can save lives, its future will inevitably be ruined.
The only thing worth worrying about is whether Charlotte has participated in such dangerous activities. If Charlotte is really trying to rebel, and the situation reaches the worst case scenario, and the troops to suppress the riot move into Paris, then I am afraid the consequences will be disastrous.
It’s unimaginable.
What a stupid girl, you risk your life just to get angry with me. You are absolutely crazy! Xia Lu couldn't help but scolded her again in her heart.
Of course she was scolded, but she still couldn't "just ignore it".
After all, she is so greedy and doesn't want to lose anything.
Shocked and uneasy, Xia Lu returned to her bedroom after washing up - then, she suddenly discovered that the quilt was not flat and seemed to have strange bulges.
Xia Lu immediately understood what was going on, so she sighed helplessly. Then she walked to the bed, then grabbed a corner of the quilt and lifted it hard.
Sure enough, a thin figure appeared under the quilt.
The brilliant blond hair was spread under her body like a cushion. Her thin but fair body was wrapped in thin pajamas. Her light blue eyes were watery as she stared at Xia Lu. She looked pitiful and a little bit...
Very impressive childlike charm.
However, precisely because he had grown up with her since childhood, this charm only made Xia Lu lose her focus for a moment, and then was replaced by a reproachful gaze.
"Fran...what are you making a fuss about? Why did you come to my room again!" She asked helplessly.
"I can't sleep... I want to be with you..." Fran looked at her sister timidly and responded in a low voice.
"But last night, I hugged you and slept all night." Xia Lu retorted.
"Yesterday it was in my room, today it is in your room, so that's different." Fran answered seemingly logically.
But of course this kind of logic could not convince Xia Lu. In addition, Xia Lu had been hit too hard today and felt mentally and physically exhausted, so she did not want to continue arguing with her sister.
"Stop making trouble, go back to sleep, it's already late..."
Fran did not obey, but closed her eyes directly. It seemed that she wanted to use the trick of pretending to be dead to stay here and not leave.
Seeing her sister's stubborn look, Xia Lu couldn't help but sigh.
"You are already over ten years old. A ten-year-old child should learn to take care of himself a little. How can he always sleep with his sister? You won't grow up like this..."
"If growing up means being separated from my sister, then I would rather never grow up..." Fran muttered in a low voice. "You are the only one who cares about me anyway."
Xia Lu, who was originally impatient, was stunned by her sister's words.
Although her younger sister does not know her true life experience, she has been able to clearly feel it since she was a child. Although her mother took good care of her, she always had a sense of emotional alienation and was not as devoted as she was to her sister. Correspondingly, she has shouldered the responsibility since she was a child.
Xia Lu, who had the heavy responsibility of taking care of her sister, became Fran's irreplaceable emotional sustenance. She had liked to be by Xia Lu's side since she was a child and admired her beyond measure.
But Xia Lu knew the truth.
At first, His Majesty and his mother got together in private for various reasons, and then gave birth to this daughter. It was probably because His Majesty had just given birth to a daughter, Princess Funina, with Queen Teresa, so he named her Funina.
orchid.
Although they are both His Majesty's daughters, their treatment and fate are naturally very different.
One is a princess recognized by the world, who can boss around in the palace. Even if Xia Lu sees her, she can only give three cents of respect; the other is the unknown Miss de Treville. Although her family background is considered prominent,
Naturally, it is impossible to get much special treatment in the palace.
When she thought of this, Xia Lu suddenly felt love and pity for her sister as usual——
This kind of love and compassion often allowed her to tolerate her sister's willfulness, and it was the same this time.
"Oh, okay... forget it this time, don't do this next time! Otherwise I will really be angry." She didn't know how many times she said the same thing, and then she changed out of her dress with a tremble.
He put on his pajamas and lay down on the bed.
Seeing that her sister no longer chased her away, Fran opened her eyes again, showed a satisfied smile, and then hugged Xia Lu skillfully.
"Since you want to sleep together, then go to bed early and don't stay in bed again tomorrow." Xia Lu told her sister.
However, Fran did not do this, but continued to stare at her sister's face, which was very close at hand.
Although she is still young, this gaze seems to be able to see through her thoughts.
"Sister, you seem to have encountered something troublesome today." Then, she said softly, "You look worried."
Xia Lu didn't respond, just sighed softly.
Although the concert was very successful and brought a glorious milestone to her life, the things that followed were not good things. How could she feel better?
"Did...did you find out about Charlotte's whereabouts?" Fran asked cautiously.
Xia Lu was secretly surprised, but she immediately reacted.
"Why do you think that?" she asked.
"There are not many people who can annoy you. Every time she makes you angry, you will act like this..." Fran blinked her eyes, "Seeing you so distracted this time, I guessed she might
Did something bother you again?"
Xia Lu was speechless for a moment. Although her sister did not have any innate wisdom, her ability to observe words and emotions was so powerful that she was like a gifted person.
Maybe she has been insecure since she was a child, so she focused her talents here?
However, she was so upset at the moment that she neither admitted nor denied it, but just sighed again.
And her performance was naturally taken as acquiescence by Fran.
So Fran snorted coldly.
"Let me tell you, she was originally fostered by us. You are so kind to her, but she is not grateful and always makes you angry. This kind of person should just let her fend for herself... There is no need to go there again
Leave her alone."
"How can you say that about her? She is also your cousin! We are all a family, and there is no need for foster care or foster care." Xia Lu immediately refuted her sister. "Although her temper is indeed a bit...a bit bad, she treats us well.
It's quite good, she even helped me take care of you!"
Although Fran has nothing to do with the Treville family in terms of blood, at least in name, Charlotte is her cousin, and she is also a relative who grew up together, so it is difficult for Xia Lu to accept that her sister actually treats
Charlotte is so cold and mean.
She did not expect that due to her childhood growth experience and her fanatical attachment to her sister, Fran felt insecure in her heart. She was afraid that one day she would lose her sister and lose all her spiritual support. So she hated being in contact with her sister.
People, especially jealous of Charlotte and Kristel, two playmates of the same age as Charlotte.
Therefore, when Charlotte left without saying goodbye, instead of feeling sad, she was secretly happy, wishing that she would just disappear and not affect her time with her sister.
Of course, she didn't dare to express this mentality too obviously in front of her sister, so she just made a few sarcastic remarks from time to time.
"So how is she doing now? Is she planning to come back?" In order to avoid arguing with her sister, Fran changed the subject.
"The situation is a bit complicated, and it's hard to describe at once. Anyway, I now know that she is still alive and in pretty good condition, but she does not plan to come back in the short term."
Of course, Xia Lu didn't want to tell her sister so many shocking things, so she just dealt with it vaguely.
"Since she won't come back, let her go." Fran did not continue to ask. Instead, she was relieved that Charlotte would not come back. "Sister, didn't you just say that people will become independent when they grow up?
Is this the case for Charlotte now? She can take responsibility for herself, and you don’t need to worry so much about her. Sister, you already have too many things to care about, so why should you bear so much responsibility for yourself?
Woolen cloth?"
Of course I wouldn't care if she was generally independent, but being "independent" like this is too much... Xia Lu complained in her heart.
But her sister's last question touched her heartstrings again.
Do you really need to be responsible for Charlotte's life or death? Do you really need to be responsible for Fran's daily life? Why do you have to bear so many responsibilities on yourself that you have to work hard at a young age?
Why should you accommodate other people's willfulness instead of choosing to be willful yourself?
If you were indifferent to all of this, and only cared about your own future, and only cared about flashy and dazzling pleasures, wouldn't you be relaxed? Xia Lu asked herself.
However, she couldn't do it. She immediately answered herself in her heart.
She loves her life. She knows how happy she has been since she was a child. She also knows how rare and hard-won this kind of happiness is. Therefore, she is willing to use all her strength to maintain the happiness she once had. She
To protect her own beautiful world, even if it takes one more day or even one more second.
This is not a fight for just one person, this is a fight for her own life, this is her own battle.
"Protecting everything you love" is not a heavy life cross for her, but a source of self-satisfaction and happiness.
I want to be responsible, I must be responsible. My destiny is to maintain this world that makes me happy, without any loss. Although I am only a young girl, I still have to do all this.
...Because if you don't do this, your happiness and pride will disappear like a bubble.
Yes, this world cannot be without Charlotte, let alone the lovely little girl right in front of us.
In her excitement, Xia Lu couldn't help but reached out her hand and gently caressed Fran's cheek.
"If Charlotte feels that abandoning us will make her life happier, then of course I will accept her leaving, but if she does not give up on us, but just bids farewell to me temporarily for some reason, then I naturally cannot accept it.
She abandoned her. This is not what she wants me to do, but what I am going to do!" Xia Lu said to her sister with a little arrogance, "I can't lose her just like I can't lose you, so I can't let her
She lost her life, I want to drag her back, admit my mistake, and at the same time, we can continue to live happily as before, because being with you is the greatest happiness in my life!"
Facing the light on her sister's face at this moment, Fran's eyes flashed with admiration. In her heart, her sister was the brilliance she always wanted to get close to, and the person she imitated throughout her life.
"Then am I more important than her?" she asked. "After all, she is a cousin, and we are sisters."
Xia Lu was speechless for a moment.
As for this question, she hasn't thought about it.
"Really?" Fran didn't want to be fooled by her sister, so she asked again with wide eyes. It seemed that she wouldn't give up until she got a definite answer.
Seeing that she couldn't fool him, Xia Lu had no choice but to nod.
"From a blood perspective, of course... you are closer to me."
Fran's face instantly turned red, and the excitement in her eyes could almost light up the entire room. She hugged her sister tightly, and then kissed her sister heavily on the cheek.
"You are the best and best sister in the world, so...so even if all of them abandon you, I will be by your side, and we will be together forever...forever...
…”
What a childish thing. Maybe in a few years, she will be so ashamed that she will roll on the floor in shame when she thinks of these words... Xia Lu smiled bitterly in her heart.
However, at least now, Xia Lu is still very happy.
This sister's pain is not in vain. It would be better if she could be more obedient in the future.
"Okay, don't talk so much anymore, I know what to do." Xia Lu stopped arguing with her sister, "If you really want to help me, then be good recently and don't
Give me some trouble so I can have the energy to do what I need to do, okay?"
Facing her sister's request, Fran nodded obediently this time - the "victory" just now made her overjoyed.
"Sister, please be patient with me. When I grow up a little and reach your current age, I can be your best assistant. Even if you want to raze this place to the ground, I will help you do it.
Do it!" she assured her sister.
Xia Lu didn't take such strange words seriously at all, and was just glad that she had finally coaxed her sister.
Then, as usual, she hugged her sister's soft body and slowly fell into a deep sleep.
Fran's remaining saliva on her cheeks slowly dried in the air, giving her a subtle touch.
In Xia Lu's hazy consciousness before going to bed, a strange question suddenly emerged.
Is this the side Charlotte kissed before? Or is it Keli's side... Before she could think of the answer, she fell into a deep sleep.
