Evan's firm words made Duke Wilson a little flustered, he immediately released his hands that were holding Evan, and explained somewhat bewildered: "I... I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it, I just So excited."
Duke Wilson said this, but he didn't dare to look at Evan. Since that confession, this was the first time he expressed his true feelings in front of Evan.
Evan looked at him with a somewhat embarrassed look and frowned deeply. He can't see through the Duke now. Sometimes he looks very determined and cold, but on this kind of issue, it seems like He's an inexperienced boy, so he doesn't know how to deal with it.
Evan stroked his cuffs, smoothed the wrinkled cuffs of Duke Wilson, paused slightly, and then said: "Lord Duke, you don't have to explain, I don't mean to blame you on this issue. , but if you also regard me as your friend, then our friendship should be based on mutual respect, otherwise I don't know what to do."
Although Evan's remarks were very gentle, the firmness in them was very obvious. Duke Wilson's expression couldn't help but stagnate.
He had always thought that Evan was the most distinctive person he had ever met in public, but he never thought that Evan would say such a thing.
mutual respect? He was born noble, who would dare to say mutual respect in front of him? Except for the royal family, no one in the world can get his respect, but at this time Evan said this, and his expression also showed that he was very serious, Duke Wilson was a little stunned.
Looking at Evan's serious expression, he pursed his lips slightly. After a long time, he said, "Of course I respect you, please rest assured."
He seemed to finally understand the hidden worries in Evan's heart at this time. Maybe he didn't give himself an answer for so long. What he cared about was this. After all, there is a gap between him and his identity. Maybe he can deceive himself. But Evan felt it very clearly. Duke Wilson finally woke up from his feelings at this moment and began to consider Evan's thoughts.
Evan nodded slightly, turned and walked to the suite inside. It was getting late now. If he guessed correctly, tomorrow would be the highlight of the day. After all, Prince George won't be back until tomorrow afternoon.
Before closing the door, he looked at Duke Wilson, who was slightly confused, and said warmly, "Then, good night, Lord Duke."
Duke Wilson nodded in a trance, and Evan closed the door mercilessly, but when he stood in front of the sink, he found that there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Evan touched his face, and he didn't understand the reason for his smile. Maybe it was because the Duke's expression was too cute. Evan thought so, he ignored his inner uncertainty and washed up. After one pass, I fell into dreamland completely.
Evan was woken up the next day.
The knock on the door in his ear woke him up from his deep sleep. He forced his heavy eyelids to open. There was a buzzing sound in his ears, and the back of his head was aching. Evan glanced at the watch on the bow. It was only five in the morning. At this point, the anger in his heart couldn't be suppressed.
"What's the matter?" He opened the door angrily and asked impatiently.
Duke Wilson at the door looked at Evan like this and couldn't help but be stunned. During their relationship, Evan has always been gentle and calm. It is the first time he has seen such an extroverted Evan.
"Mr. Reverend, something has happened." Although he thought Evan was a little amused, Duke Wilson could still distinguish the priorities of the matter, and immediately said solemnly.
Evan was originally half asleep and half awake, but when he heard this sentence, it seemed like a basin of cold water was poured from his head, and he immediately woke up.
"What's the matter? What happened?" He looked at Duke Wilson nervously.
Duke Wilson's expression was also a little unsightly. He pursed his lips slightly and said, "Duke Rand is here."
Evan is completely sober this time: "Duke Rand? What does he want to do?"
Duke Wilson couldn't help but cast his gaze on Evan's white collarbone. Because he was wearing wide pajamas, the graceful arc above his collarbone was completely exposed to Duke Wilson's sight.
"He... he wants me to enter the palace." Duke Wilson said dryly.
"Let you enter the palace?" Evan frowned: "Isn't His Majesty already dead? Why does Duke Rand let you enter the palace?"
Speaking of this, Duke Wilson couldn't help but sneer: "You are too kind, of course you can't understand his vicious thoughts, he is secretive to the king, he just wants to deceive me into the palace, but I don't think I'm fooled. , of course he was in a hurry, he wanted that excuse to deal with us, and now the Duke of Rand has led the guards of Buckingham Palace to surround the entire castle, and wants Oram to hand me over."
As soon as Evan heard the news, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "Then what should I do? Also, is Lord Edward okay?" They did not bring Edward this time. If Edward fell into Rand's hands, then I am afraid that the tragedy of the previous life will be repeated.
"Don't worry." Hearing him ask this, Duke Wilson's tone softened: "Edward has been protected by me for a long time, he is fine, although we are in a critical situation here, but as long as we survive today and wait for George to come back , everything will be all right, Mr. Reverend, get dressed quickly, everyone is inquiring about the assembly."
Evan nodded worriedly.
After Duke Wilson left, Evan quickly changed his clothes. He didn't have any information about today's events before, because what was described in the book was closely after the Duke's success. However, he was still overly optimistic.
Although Duke Wilson has soldiers in his hands, those soldiers are stationed on the outskirts of London and guard the outer city of London. In order to show his loyalty to the king and minimize his own threats, the Duke has always been in Delanley. He lived in Seoul and was not too close to his soldiers. At this time, Duke Rand suddenly surrounded them. Even if the Duke could contact those soldiers, it would take a while for them to come over. The description of Duke Rand in the original book Zhong is not a patient person. If it takes a long time, I am afraid that things will be bad.
With heavy doubts, Evan walked into the hall of Lord Oram, Evan looked around, most of the people around were worried, it seemed that these people also knew that something had happened, Evan suddenly I was a little worried. If these people knew the truth, they didn't know if they could be trusted.
Duke Wilson gave Evan a wink when he saw Evan coming down. Evan nodded and walked to his side. For Evan, among these people, only Duke Wilson is trustworthy.
Lord Oram was also standing with Duke Wilson at this time, but Lord Oram looked very relaxed at this time. When he saw Evan coming, he greeted with a smile: "Mr. Reverend."
Evan really couldn't laugh, just nodded: "Lord, what are you going to do about this?" Evan lowered his voice.
Lord Oram still had a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.
"You don't need to worry so much, it's just a trivial matter." Lord Oram's expression was so sincere, if Evan hadn't known what happened, he would have almost believed him.
"You..." Evan wanted to say something, but Duke Wilson gently tugged on his sleeve. Evan snapped back to his senses, realizing that everyone around him seemed to be looking at him, so he forced a smile. Come, whisper: "That's good."
Now for these people, it is still necessary to appease the main thing, otherwise I am afraid that things will be more difficult to end.
Lord Oram was very satisfied with Evan's reaction and nodded with a smile.
"Gentlemen." He turned to look at the others: "His Majesty the King died suddenly, but Duke Rand is suddenly aggressive at this time. His despicable intentions are self-evident, but fortunately, Duke Wilson is here, so you don't have to worry too much. As long as we stay until tomorrow morning, we will be fine."
Hearing this, Evan raised his eyebrows slightly. Lord Oram said that Prince George would be back tonight, but he said this again, I'm afraid he still doesn't trust these people.
Lord Oram's words temporarily eased the atmosphere in the hall, and the gentlemen at the head didn't look so anxious. After all, the image of Duke Wilson holding military power was still very inherent in their hearts.
"Lord, Duke Rand still controls the guards of Buckingham Palace after all, can we really hold on until tomorrow?" Although most people were relieved, one gentleman was still very cautious.
Lord Oram's expression froze slightly. This slight change can only be seen clearly by Evan and Duke Wilson, who are closer to him. Others can only see his peaceful appearance.
"Please rest assured." Lord Oram said in a very gentle tone: "Although I have no soldiers in my hands, there are still quite a few guards in this castle, enough to resist until tomorrow morning."
In this era, it is very common for nobles to support private soldiers. As Lord Oram, naturally there will be more or less.
These people are not stupid either, they immediately understood what Lord Oram meant, and the expressions on their faces were a lot calmer than before, but at this moment, a servant suddenly ran in.
"Lord." The servant breathed slightly and whispered: "There is news."
The servant's expression made the atmosphere that was originally peaceful around him tense again. Lord Oram frowned slightly, took a deep look at the frightened servant, took a deep breath, and said solemnly, "What do you want to say? Just say it."
The servant was taken aback by Lord Oram's eyes, but he didn't dare to delay, and immediately said, "Lord Lord, Duke Rand just sent a message saying that he wants to see you."
As soon as the servant said these words, the whole hall became quiet. Duke Rand wanted to see Oram, and these people made small calculations in their hearts.
Lord Oram naturally thought of a lot in his heart. He pondered for a moment, and finally said: "I see, let the person who sent the message come in first."
After instructing the servants, Lord Oram looked at the gentlemen with different expressions behind him, and smiled slightly: "Okay, gentlemen, I will solve this matter, please don't worry, everyone just needs to be careful. Stay in the castle, and tomorrow morning, it will all be resolved."
How dare these people believe such words, but they can't provoke Lord Oram now, so they can only make a few false statements and reluctantly leave.
After these people left, Lord Oram's face sank.
