Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 74: Assess the situation

The dark tide at the lunch table did not affect the mood of the gentlemen. After lunch, several good gentlemen gathered in the Duke's living room in groups of three and five, sitting and chatting, of course. The Duke is still the center, but there are only three or five people who can sit next to the Duke.

Colonel Mayer and Evan were of course one of them, but in addition to them was Lord Orlam from London, the only son of the esteemed Duke of Field, who was only twenty-five years old this year and already He is a famous hero in London. He entered the House of Lords at the end of last year, and he is still a colleague with the Duke.

"Your Majesty." Lord Oram, with the reserved tone typical of noble children: "My father conveys his sincere regards to you."

Lord Oram is a very handsome young man with meticulous brown curly hair and a bright light in his light brown eyes. At first glance, he thinks he is a positive young man.

The duke also seemed to like him very much, and nodded with a smile: "Your father is a gentleman I respect very much. It's a pity that he can't come this time."

When the Duke mentioned this, Lord Oram lowered his head and said solemnly: "My father also regrets not being able to come this time, but now he is still very weak and cannot travel far. ."

"Is it so serious? Oh, it's really bad, please don't be too sad." The Duke looked at Lord Oram with some surprise.

Actually everyone knows that although Lord Oram is the only son of Duke Field on the surface, Duke Field is not an honest man. He has an illegitimate son outside, and it is said that he still loves this illegitimate son. Plus, for the young Oram, I am afraid that the death of Duke Field is the best thing.

Olam smiled reluctantly: "Don't worry, my father is a strong man, he will be fine."

Duke Wilson smiled with a flickering look, will it be okay? Oram has now completely taken over the political legacy of the Duke of Mayfair, and I am afraid that Duke of Field will have no chance to get better again.

"That's good, I hope to see Duke Field again next year." Duke Wilson's tone was very sincere, and he really thought so in his heart. The only difference was that he didn't know when to come. Who will be the Duke of Field.

Lord Orlam accepted Duke Wilson's blessing, and the two happily talked about the changes in the imperial capital these days.

The old king is at stake, but at this time Prince George was sent by the Duke of Rand, the regent, to visit Wales. The whole kingdom knows that, as the older king's brother, the Duke of Rand has always been a king. It is covetous. Although Prince George is from the queen, and he also has some military power in the imperial capital, if he cannot return to London when the king dies, I am afraid that the throne will not be guaranteed.

Now Prince George is on his way to Wales, but the king's illness is on the verge of death, and the true face of the Duke of Rand is finally exposed in broad daylight, but no one can say anything at this time, The old king trusted the Duke of Rand very much, but he didn't like Prince George very much. He was separated from the queen for many years because of a mistress. To be honest, judging from the current situation, it was very critical for Prince George.

This kind of **** is very dangerous for most people doing it, not to mention Duke Wilson and Lord Orlam, who are related to the royal family, both of whom are at the top of the aristocracy , have a deeper understanding of such a crisis.

That said, it's not appropriate to talk about these things on an occasion like this, and the Duke just talked to Lord Orlam about his concerns about the King's condition, and his wishes for Prince George's trip to Wales, other The two of them knew each other's meaning just by looking at each other.

Lord Orlam and Prince George have a good relationship and naturally support Prince George. Although Duke Wilson seems neutral, everyone knows that Duke Wilson and Duke Rand have been mortal enemies for many years. Since the beginning of the era, we have been competing against each other, and at this juncture, we will naturally not support this violent regent.

"Lord Duke." During the interval when all the gentlemen were going to rest, Lord Oram suddenly whispered: "Excuse me, can I tell you something alone?"

Duke Wilson raised his head and glanced at the people around him who were unaware, and then glanced at Evan, who had a good conversation with Colonel Mel, and nodded subconsciously: "I'll wait for you in the study." He The tone no one could hear except Lord Oram next to him.

Lord Oram's eyes flashed with joy, Duke Wilson being able to see him, Prince George's confidant at this sensitive time, shows his attitude. If he can talk to Duke Wilson privately, then It is quite possible that this decisive figure can be drawn over.

Although Evan is having a good time with Colonel Mel, his energy has always been on Duke Wilson and the Lord Oram.

When the lord first appeared in front of Evan, Evan was actually a little confused. The lord was indeed a character in the story, but when he appeared in the book, he was already a Dear Duke Field, this was also known to Evan during his conversation with the Duke, otherwise Evan would have almost not recognized the Duke, who occupies a very important position in the second half of the book.

Lord Oram is Prince George's most profitable supporter. It is not obvious now. To outsiders, it seems that they are just like all the related characters of the royal family. Others are relatively close, but it is impossible to talk about which type they support. You must know that the most powerful forces supporting Prince George at this time are the Holy See and some civil servants, and the nobles are still very cautious at this time.

But Evan knew very well how loyal this Lord Orlam was to Prince George, so much so that when Prince George finally came to the throne, the future Duke of Field was so powerful.

Evan saw the small gestures between Duke Wilson and Lord Orlam, and knew very well that the union of these two men was unstoppable. Duke Wilson was a very intelligent man, although in form he seemed very good to Prince George now. It's not good, but he also saw the hidden dangers on Duke Rand's side. Duke Rand is not a clear-headed person. If such a person sits on the throne of the king, it will be bad for the whole country. Say, it's all a disaster.

Evan returned to his room, and Evan actually agreed with Duke Wilson's political choice, just because the Duke of Rand instigated the Yorkshire mob to riot in order to destroy the strength of Duke Wilson who did not support him. One point, it shows how crazy this person is.

In fact, it can be seen from the author's description of this point that the rioting mob is not only a simple public, but also mixed with the private army of the Duke of Rand. Otherwise, it would not have caused such a big problem. The turmoil almost burned down Duke Wilson's castle, and Duke Wilson's subsequent revenge against these people also caused a devastating blow to the entire Derainier.

Evan couldn't help but tremble. He absolutely didn't want such a thing to happen to him. In the original book, the premise of the Duke's blackening was that the heroine was hurt, and little Edward also died in the turmoil of the mob. If it didn't happen like this Terrible things, maybe the Duke will be a little more sensible, and will not ignore the innocent villagers who were kidnapped by the mob, let the army rush into Deran Lier, and let the innocent people die under the knife of the mob.

Evan clenched his fist tightly. Before, he just wanted to live better in these times and seek self-protection, but now he suddenly thinks of Mrs. Sanders and Sheriff Chandler, Could he really sit back and watch this happen to them again? Evan clenched his teeth tightly. Maybe he could achieve the ultimate in human indifference before, but now when he finally integrates into this world, he is suddenly a little confused in the face of such a thing.

Evan looks down at his hands, since he's been here, he's been looking for ways to make his life better, but he's never thought about when he really likes this place and these people When the time comes, what should I do? These people are no longer just a simple image like I imagined before. They have flesh and blood, feelings and souls, and they are all living people!

What is he supposed to do, what is he supposed to do? Evan suddenly found that, deep in his heart, there was only one answer left for this question, and he had to change the result!

Evan suddenly stood up from his chair. If he wants to change this situation, then the relationship between him and the duke must not stop. He must speed up his pace. Only by establishing them The relationship between them is more certain if he wants to change the future. As he is now, he has no such opportunity to understand this matter, let alone warn the Duke about the direction of the matter.

Evan is a person with very strong willpower. Since he has decided on one thing, his action force is also very high.

After dinner that night was over, Evan invited the duke who wanted to go upstairs to his room at night, and wanted to discuss some things with him.

The Duke's face flushed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and when he finally agreed, his tongue was slightly curled.

As soon as Evan returned to the room, he immediately took a shower. He usually appeared in front of the duke in a dignified and cautious state, and it was time to change the duke's inherent impression of him.

Evan did not rush to change into formal clothes after taking a shower, but only wore a white shirt and a pair of trousers. The neckline of the shirt was loosely open, revealing a beautiful collarbone and originally fair cheeks At this time, due to the dense steam, it was slightly reddish, and even the originally meticulous golden curly hair was messed up by him with a dry towel at this time, and it looked a little dejected.

Evan looked at the somewhat unfamiliar self in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction.
