The Sin of Ludwigs

Chapter 15

After meeting the baron for several days, I stayed quietly in my room and never stepped into the study. Anyway, old David had already ordered the servant to bring me meals every day, and I wanted to read. You can also secretly ask others to bring it to me from the study.

The only thing that bothers me is that now I don't know how to convey my situation to the Duke of Lane in New Jersey. My original idea is to find a servant who is greedy for petty gain and even bold enough to hide it from the master's gang. I delivered the letter to the manservant at the station where the letter was delivered—after all, if those gentlemen and ladies knew about my situation, I can’t guarantee that they would offend Earl Ian for a down-and-out nobleman from a foreign country. It would be more cost-effective to sell me out—but the problem is, I have no money!

Yes, I am penniless now!Because Earl Ian himself said that I am a "slave", although old David sympathizes with me, but he can't pay me like a hired worker, and it is even more difficult to expect old David to send a letter to Duke Lane for me. Impossible—no matter how much old David sympathizes with me, in his code, the earl's orders and the interests of the Haggis family are definitely greater than that of a stranger like me. Once the letter is sent out, it doesn't matter whether the Duke of Ryan intervenes , it will do harm to the Higgs family, and he will never allow me to do this.

It is also impossible to secretly embezzle the property in the manor!Needless to say the gold and silverware with the Haggs badge, other odds and ends are counted in the book-unless, God help me, I can find a forgotten silver or gold coin in some corner, I rummaged around the room for this too, but the housekeepers were obviously much better at finding loose money than I was, and they didn't leave me with a single coin.

The letter to the Duke of Lane must also be considered carefully. According to the previous robbers who bought and sold young and middle-aged men, I was not the only one sold by the Grand Duke of Württemberg. Even if everyone knew that they were the illegitimate children of the Grand Duke, they would still die In the New World.Even if the Duke of Lane receives the letter, I can only pray to God that the Duke will be in a good mood, and see that he has mercy on me in the name of the Edmund family.

It's just that I never dreamed that bumping into Baron Fred was not the ominous sign I thought, but Annie, who I thought was safe, brought me a disaster!

When someone knocked on the door hastily at noon that day, I thought it was the servant who delivered the food, and I just said casually: "Wait a moment", and then I heard Hall's very stern voice outside the door: "Edmund, open the door! "

problem occurs!

That was the first thought that crossed my mind.

I've never heard Hall speak to me in such a rude tone, he's never been respectful to me because of old Davy, plus that quick knock on the door sounds like a bunch of big guys When I knocked on the door, my first reaction was to immediately burn the letter with "To the Duke of Lane" written in my hand.

However, it was noon at this time, and the calmness of the past few days made me slack off, and I did not light the candles in advance, and under the panic, the usual simple actions of lighting the fire became difficult.

The sound of knocking on the door stopped for a few seconds, and I heard Hall's voice again: "Edmund! Open the door immediately! Don't think about making any small moves, the Earl wants to see you immediately!"

Before, I just mentioned the Duke of Lane in Britain in exchange for dozens of whips. If Ian William Higgs finds out that I want to write to the Duke of Lane, I am afraid that I will die immediately!

In desperation, I didn't know where the quick wit came from. I unscrewed the glass bottle containing the ink, poured the ink on the letter, and then rubbed the letter paper desperately, making sure that the information on the paper could not be read at all. It was thrown under the bed in a ball.

Before I could wipe off the ink on my hands, I heard another male voice outside the door saying: "He must have escaped through the window! Knock the door open for me!"

These savages really hit the door!There was only a loud noise, and the poor oak door of my room was crumbling. Taking advantage of the gap of a few seconds, I wiped my hands and threw several balls of paper on the floor and under the bed, and then strode to the door. , Twist the doorknob down sharply.

The two tall black slaves who were about to hit the door again hit the air and almost fell in.

Outside the door, apart from Hall, there was also a male servant wearing a blue and white uniform, and several tall male servants stood behind him.

I glanced at this group of people impatiently, just like scolding a stupid servant in Ludwigsburg: "What's the noise at this time? Is there something wrong?"

The male attendant probably didn't expect that I would suddenly become so tough. He was stunned for a while, and he came back to his senses after a while, and suddenly became a little annoyed: "What do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like this! Come on!" Ah, take him to your lord!"

Probably annoyed by my sudden refusal to show weakness, this male attendant almost had me dragged all the way there.

When I was pushed into the room where Earl Ian was, the first thing I saw was Anne, who was disheveled and weeping on the ground. Immediately, my head became bigger with a "buzz".

What's worse, when this silly girl saw me, she immediately cried out, "Edmund!"

my God!Where was the girl's usual wit? !

Earl Ian was the only one sitting in the room, and even his beloved Beatrix stood behind him in an orderly manner. When he heard Anne address me, he looked at Anne playfully, Look at me again.

"Edmund? That's really affectionate, Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig Francaimon Edmund."

"It is a great honor that you remember my name," I said, "but I must say, my lord, that hitting a woman, for whatever reason, is a very disrespectful thing to do."

The Count gave me a rather surprised look at my unexpected response.

"It seems that I haven't seen you for a while, and your courage has grown a lot."

"I only speak the truth as I see it, my lord."

The count sneered and leaned back in his chair.

"A woman who dares to touch me, dares to speak like that in front of me, you are the first one, Lieutenant Colonel, should I admire your courage?"

"Excuse me for being stupid, but I don't understand what you mean."

The count lazily nodded to someone on Anne's left, and I realized that there were still two maids and three male servants kneeling tremblingly.

——I have the impression of these people!

Sure enough, after the earl signaled, the maid said, "I swear to God, when I was serving Miss Anne, I bumped into Miss Anne going out late at night, and I followed her secretly..."

Then came the testimony of two footmen, one of whom even said convincingly that he heard me say to myself, "There was a great battle with England last night"; In the room on the right wing, I found that the sofa, chairs, etc. had been used and left stains; the servant who washed my clothes said that they found the fragrance of women's powder and suspicious lipstick residues during cleaning.

I listened to all the accusations without saying a word, and if the facts were as they said, what Annie and I did in secret every night would be enough for us to be hanged immediately, although life and death were at stake, but listening to these people solemnly The nonsense still almost made me laugh out loud.

After the last maid finished speaking, the room fell into silence. After a while, Earl Ian asked leisurely, "Do you have anything to explain to them?"

"My lord, I can't say that they are all lies, but they are like the snakes in the Garden of Eden, mixing the truth and lies, trying to deceive you."

"I swear to God, your rose was still a bud when it was dedicated to you, and it has never been contaminated by anyone else's breath since then." The rosebud garland is not casually worn, the closed bud itself is express; "As for what these inferior people say, it is basically a shameless slander. As you know, my etiquette teacher is also famous in Paris. The famous Mr. Aldolphe de Charre, he taught me etiquette just like I taught Miss Anne, and as for the results, I think you should already have a deep understanding of it."

"If you have doubts, you can find another girl like Miss Anne before, and let me show you the miracles that such etiquette teachings can bring."

Probably bluffed by my resolute and fearless attitude, the attendants began to discuss in a low voice.

Anne’s huge change, if she insists that no one taught her, then she is really lying. I originally taught her to imitate the words and deeds of Beatrix and others, but this girl should bear it. I couldn't bear the pressure, but I confessed.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

The earl clapped his hands three times with a half-smile, and the buzzing discussion immediately stopped.

"Pretty good defense—if I say it, I don't believe it?"

"I believe that with your wisdom, you will not be fooled by these shameless rhetoric."

In fact, my cold sweat is about to flow down, but I have to bet on this game—I bet that the earl has come up with some new fun to make fun of me, and bet that he doesn't want to kill me and Anne yet, otherwise, he can. When he knew that Annie and I were having a tryst at night, he ordered us to be dragged out and hanged.

The count gave me a half-smile.

"Let me just believe you, then, I want you to teach a perfect Europa bride within a month, if you can't do it, I will execute you two."

Narrow escape!

I squeezed my fists, only to realize that my palms were covered in cold sweat.

Still, teaching the Bride of Europa?Didn't the previous bride of Europa be said to have been snatched away by robbers?Is it back?

"It has been my life's honor to serve you, and I believe I will never disappoint you. So, which lady do you want me to teach?"

After saying these words, I once again saw the extremely familiar maliciousness in Earl Ian's blue eyes.

"I want you to teach me, Miss Ludwigs Edmund from the Duchy of Württemberg."
