Chapter 14 Tower of Babel

14.

Despite the assistance of the Guards, it will be the end of July when the Supreme Court re-establishes itself in Paris.Minos followed the last car carrying the dossier, and drove to Paris on the last day of July. Writing a draft of the law required a large number of cases as the source and support of theories, but this short and peaceful half month was not enough. Take one-tenth of the court inventory he's seen.Back at the center of the storm, there must be chores again, not to mention a guy who always brings new problems.

The heat of summer and the shaking of the carriage made people drowsy. After an unknown period of time, the carriage gradually slowed down. The vibration of a steady stop awakened Minos, and there were two light knocks on the carriage door.

"Minos?"

"Where are you?" Minos opened the latch on the car door, held the hand extended by Jabofika, and got out of the carriage.The other party was still wearing a military uniform in the style of the Guards, but it was changed to the summer uniform, removing the cumbersome lace and decorations, and the cotton and linen fabric was ironed neatly and meticulously, concise and neat.

The woods in summer are lush and lush, and it is impossible to tell the direction. Dozens of guards are scattered around, guarding and patrolling. The earl's coat of arms is parked among them. The exquisite and luxurious carriage is drawn by four snow-white horses with feathers. Seeing Minos looking over, the driver in the hat bent down and took off his hat.

"On the outskirts of Creteil, it's still a while away from Paris, I'll pick you up." It fell on both cheeks and kissed the face, with a warm and soft touch.The lovers who had separated not long after their relationship was established, came out of the city to greet them at this moment. No matter how you look at it, it is an expression of lingering affection. The French rose is really tight in disguise.

"Thank you." The sleepiness of the journey has not yet dissipated, and Minos lacks interest in acting, so he followed Abafika to his car.

The earl's compartment was quite spacious, except for the table in the middle that could be used for office work or enjoying refreshments, the seats on both sides were enough for people to sleep with their clothes on.

"Do you want a pillow?"

"Yes." The carriage's walls are covered with thick fabric, which has a certain sound insulation effect, but there are still a few hours to go, and they have nothing to talk about except work. Instead of being relatively embarrassing, it's better to catch up on sleep .

Minos didn't fully wake up until the carriage entered the urban area of ​​Paris. In just two weeks, the changes on the streets had begun to take effect. The wandering beggars almost disappeared. It disappeared within a month, leaving only an open space.

"The action is very fast." The people fear and even hate the law, but are willing to be driven by the sweet words of the politicians.

"Speaking of it, it was a supplementary part of the funds. The architect who presided over the demolition sold the bricks and stones as souvenirs, saving the cost of the aftermath. Necker immediately dug people into the finance department, probably finding a confidant." Yabo Fika put away the papers on the table and passed by the Bastille, so the destination was approaching.

"I'll stay overnight tonight." Yabofika said after the carriage stopped in front of Minos' residence and had finished packing.For a lover who hasn't seen each other for half a month, it makes sense to stay overnight.

"random."

The guards in white military uniforms filed in, and under the guidance of the butler, they put the earl's personal items into Minos' room. Seeing that the private space was half occupied by the bright and gorgeous features of Versailles, it was hard to get angry in front of people. Minos couldn't help feeling suffocated for a while.

Except for the housekeeper and a few servants, there were only Minos and Jabofika in the house, and the dinner was also extremely casual. The bathroom in the master room was only enough for one person, and Minos unceremoniously took the lead.

When he came back after changing into his pajamas, Jabofika had requisitioned his desk and continued to review the unfinished official business. When he saw him coming, he took out a letter from it, "The Constituent Assembly will officially open in four days. A license from the Gendarmerie, which contains specific information about the establishment."

Minos took it, and deliberately walked away a few steps, avoiding the range where he could peep at the desktop files, before starting to browse.

"If you plan to recruit the former guards of the Bastille, there are a few hidden thorns, do you want to pull them out for you?" Yabofika asked.

"No need." The reorganization of the patrol team several times could easily let the spies in it leak their flaws. Instead of scaring the snake out now, it is better to save it for sending wrong information.

It was late at night when everyone finished their work.Minos blew out the candles for the main lighting, leaving only a few points to maintain the visible brightness in the room. After a while, the breathing around him became long. It must be because there is not enough time to rest in the past two weeks. I can't see it in military uniform, but after changing into pajamas, I can see obvious weight loss.

But there was an extra sound of breathing, which made it hard to get used to.Moreover, Minos slept too much during the day, and now Minos really didn't feel sleepy at all.He rolled over to face the guy who had taken half of his bed.

The daily life of the old-school aristocrats is inseparable from essential oils and perfumes, and this one beside him is no exception. The essential oils applied to the skin and the perfumes sprayed on the fabrics accumulate over time, as if they penetrate into the limbs, even if they are naked when being treated There is also a hint of faint fragrance in her body.During those days in the Bastille, it wasn't that he didn't want to avoid the attention of his subordinates, but that contact and coexistence would definitely leave traces of smell between his sleeves. See more secure.

Compared with being sick and making people unable to worry for a second, she is now a quiet and harmless Sleeping Beauty.Knowing that it was a deceptive appearance, Minos still couldn't hold back, and stretched out his hand to rub it hard to wake him up.

"Can't sleep?" The sleepy face was not as cold as usual, his eyes were so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, his eyelashes were fluttering, and even his accent was soft, which was kind of cute.

"What do you think?" She occupied half of his bed, but she didn't have any sense of violating other people's private space.

"Oh." After a reply, there was no further text, and when Minos took a closer look, the man was already asleep again.The thought of kicking someone out of bed is just around the corner.

After taking a deep breath and a long breath, Minos stood up with his clothes on, lit the candlestick, and took out the borrowed file to continue reading. Since the other party's sleep quality is so good, there is no need to worry about the light disturbing people.

And this night of cohabitation, Paris will inevitably be full of storms tomorrow, the old alliance will be broken, and after the balance of various forces, a new alliance will be established.
