Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Chapter 78: A mess

Views:

London is the most prosperous place in the whole of the UK, but at this time, London is probably the most ugly time. This is different from the modern city hundreds of years later. At this time, London looks a little bit like the West City, other places are everywhere. It is desolate, it is already late autumn, and for the entire civilian population, it has now entered a very terrifying season. Almost everyone without winter reserves has flocked to London, looking for a chance to survive the harsh winter in this place.

Orlam said that London is very beautiful now, and this beauty is ironic in Evan's view.

"Really?" Duke Wilson looked at Oram with a hint of sarcasm: "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. If something goes wrong before they make arrangements, I'm afraid it will be difficult 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, Evan was also worried about the direction of the world, and Duke Wilson, Simply not knowing what to say, 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 Lier to London. They get on the train at eight o'clock and can not arrive until two noon. This is a long time. , for several people in the carriage, it has become a kind of torture.

Evan pretended to look at the Bible in his hand, but what he thought in his mind was how to settle the relationship with the Duke after going to London. This matter lies between the two of them. If it is not resolved, it is absolutely impossible. There will always be such a pimple between them, and it will be very detrimental to their future relationship, but it is worth Evan to think about how to deal with this pimple.

Although the train was going very slowly, the end point would still be reached. When the train arrived at London Station, the three of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The carriage that came to pick up Lord Oram had stopped at the station gate. Lord Oram warmly invited the Duke to ride in his carriage, and offered to take the Duke to the Duke's residence in London in person.

Of course Duke Wilson would not refuse such a request. After all, no matter what, he had already chosen Prince George at this moment. As the prince's ally, Lord Oram, he still couldn't 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 would come to the city and look at the familiar scenes around him. Evan couldn't help sighing. The city is still so stubborn that it won't change even a bit.

Evan got on Lord Oram's carriage with Duke Wilson and passed the friendly contact just now. At this time, the friendly atmosphere between Lord Oram and the Duke seemed to be opened, only to hear him whisper: "The Duke My lord, when you come to London this time, I will first tell you one thing, please don't be in a hurry."

Looking at Lord Oram's serious face, Duke Wilson couldn't help frowning. He only said such words when he arrived in London. Could it be that something happened? Duke Wilson beat a drum in his heart, and even Evan on the side showed a solemn expression. face.

"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 would definitely 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, although he and Richard had a normal relationship, but after all It was his cousin, his blood relative.

Lord Oram glanced at Evan with some spirit and blinked: "This is definitely a reliable source, because of the trust in you and Pastor Bruce, I told this matter, or I hope you and Pastor Sir 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 showed his kindness to the two of them.

Evan just made a surprised expression, and even made a cross on his chest. At this time, after listening to Lord Oram's words, he nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will not reveal half of this matter. word."

Although he had known for a long time that the king's life was imminent, due to the vague description in the book, such a clear date was still unknown.

"It's natural, Pastor Bruce is a trustworthy gentleman, you don't have to worry, does George know about this?" 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 doesn't care enough about his son because of his mistress, he is not an old fool after all. Because of its importance, the general London guard is handed over 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.

"His Royal Highness, of course, knows." Oram lowered his head. This time the plan is a huge challenge for Prince George. If it succeeds, it will be done once and for all, but if it fails, it will be a death without a burial. .

Duke Wilson's frown deepened. Since Prince George knows the news, it means that he has other arrangements, but according to the report of his spies in London, Prince George did indeed go to Wales. What the hell is going on with a play? Duke Wilson is a complete mess right now.

"You..." Duke Wilson glanced at the carriage door: "Just be clear to you." This is not the place to talk, and some things should be more cautious.

Lord Oram smiled, and then said: "I heard that your study has a very rich collection of books. I wonder if I have the honor to read it." Lord Oram was very clear about Duke Wilson's concerns. Naturally Follow up the steps.

Duke Wilson nodded and said no more.

Evan sat on the side and watched the two people communicate. His heart was actually very complicated. He was in this position, and everyone regarded him as an accessory of the Duke. It was very uncomfortable for him, but for him His social status at this time, if he does not want to change the world, there is no way for him to change such social status quo, so Evan can only hide his dissatisfaction in his heart, but the mood for further attacking the Duke is more and more. firm.

The three of them came to the Duke's house next to Hyde Park, which is the Duke's habitual residence in London. Because of the hurry, the Duke did not bring too many servants, but Steward Chris was very thoughtful. Let a few servants come to this place and clean the house. After all, this place has not been visited for a long time. It has been several years since the duke returned to Delanlier. Except for the annual inspection and maintenance of this place, it has been a long time. No one lives there.

But fortunately this time the house did not live up to the expectations of housekeeper Chris. The few people who came early cleaned up the house very well, and because of the annual maintenance, the house was not too dilapidated. From Evan's point of view, this house , which is inconsistent with 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 position in the Duke's heart is still the same, but the current status quo is still a bit 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 had already been fighting fiercely. The two of them seemed to have completely forgotten the embarrassing scene on the train. Wen 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 Orlam."

Duke Wilson restrained his smile the moment he saw him, but felt that it was a little inappropriate, and finally hooked the corner of his mouth a little stiffly.

Looking at Duke Wilson's reaction, Evan couldn't help but groan in his heart, this person is really awkward.

Evan sat on the left hand side of Duke Wilson under the service of the servant, and was also opposite to Lord Oram. Lord Oram was in a very good mood at this time, and immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Pastor, do you know? In a few days. There will be a dance in my house, and you must go there, and 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 never fall, and of course he has to go.

Lord Oram smiled, knowing that Evan had understood what he meant. For him, perhaps the biggest plan would be the dance a few days later. After that dance, will they soar or fall into hell? It is completely clear.
