What to do if your crush is the Earl

"Brother, why didn't you tell me before?"

At the end of winter, the sun shines outside the window.Anio lay on Antoine's body, crying like a little dog.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal, you see I'm almost fine."

Antoine put his arms around his brother's back and patted him lightly.

"You lied to me. If I hadn't come to see you on a whim, I wouldn't have known you were injured." Anio sniffed.

Maybe he was the last to know what happened to my brother.

Anio was taken aback by his own thought, and cried even harder.

Antoine stroked Anio's fluffy head, smiled and said nothing.It was his fault in the first place, and the more he discerned, the more he couldn't get rid of the relationship, so it's better to just acquiesce.Pretending to be weak, the little guy softened his heart.

Sure enough, Anio saw the young man's brows slightly frowned, and his hands were protecting the wound, and he immediately became startled: "Did I hurt you, I'm sorry. Woohoo."

"Annio is still a crybaby~?" Antoine teased him with a smile.

The little guy blushed and stopped crying immediately.

When his brother is not at home, he is the pillar.When his brother came back, he became an eleven or twelve-year-old boy again, who could cry and laugh, and occasionally liked to hug his brother and act like a baby.

"Brother, my bow and arrow skills have improved again!! Two days ago I caught two rabbits that came out to look for food in Xishan."

"That's right, Anio is really amazing." Antoine had a faint smile on his lips, "You can already support a family."

Anio nodded happily.

In the afternoon, His Royal Highness Briman came back from dealing with the affairs and stayed with Anio for a while.

He liked Antoine a little in his heart, and naturally loved Anio, and led him around the crystal greenhouse of the castle.

Anio had never seen such an exquisite and beautiful flower house full of green plants in winter, and his eyes widened in surprise.

There is also a tall flowing water rockery tower in the flower room, and the water flows down layer by layer, making a nice sound.

Small benches and rest tables and chairs are set under a tall foliage shrub.The tables and chairs are all white, and the delicate and curved line carvings have a unique style of this era.

The servants brought desserts and black tea, and Anio was very happy. The cake rolls here actually contained strawberries and peanuts!

So delicious~!

The blue-haired boy had white cream on the corner of his mouth. Breman smiled and handed him the napkin.

Anio took it in embarrassment, wiped his mouth, and said with bright eyes: "Is this what my brother eats here?"

Briman didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Your brother doesn't like sweets, but everything else is available."

"So that's the case." Anio nodded.

Briman paused and asked, "Can you tell me about your brother?"

"Of course." Anio smiled happily and rolled his eyes. Being able to discuss his brother with others was a very proud thing.

"—My brother has been excellent since he was a child, and he refused to give in to anything. Before his father passed away, my brother learned a lot from him. Later, my brother wanted to be a soldier. When he saw the conscription form at the border, he Applied in the past."

Breman nodded and thought: "Then how did your brother get the eagle badge?"

Speaking of this, the little guy's eyes lit up:

"My brother told me that he was the one who saved Lord Ethan, the chief of the Northland. Lord Ethan's father had an eagle badge, so he gave it to his brother!! Lord Ethan also mentioned his brother's military rank. , he often brings his elder brother by his side. Ordinary soldiers don’t treat him like an elder brother!”

After Anio finished speaking, he found that His Highness the Prince bowed his head, wondering what he was thinking, and did not answer his words.He closed his eloquent mouth as if he sensed something, and asked cautiously after a while: "My lord, did I say something wrong?"

"No," Breman patted Anio's head, and said with a smile, "Go and accompany your brother after eating, I have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Looking at the figure who left without eating the cakes in front of His Highness, Anio was a little puzzled, but he quickly put the matter behind him, jumped off the stool, and went to find his brother.

In the middle of the night, the Earl fell asleep peacefully on the big bed in the bedroom.The blond hair was white under the moonlight, but the outline of the face was still handsome and handsome.

Xiao Sheng sat up, put on his shirt to cover the marks on his body, looked at the blond man for a long time under the moonlight, and then slowly stood up and walked out of the castle.

Tonight is a full moon, and the woods outside the castle are silent.

When Xiao Sheng came to the colonnade courtyard, there was already a figure waiting there.

"Your Highness." Xiao Sheng's clear voice caused ripples in the cold night.

"I didn't expect you to come."

"Of course Xiao Sheng will come."

The man standing in the middle of the colonnaded pavilion turned around, and it turned out to be His Royal Highness Breman who was playing with Anio during the day.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, it seems that you are doing well."

"Xiao Sheng is just doing his duty."

"Your father is not bad either," Breman smiled. "He just asks you and where his son is from time to time."

Xiao Sheng clenched his hands under his robe: "Why does Your Highness need to do this? Since Xiao Sheng agreed to work for His Highness, he has never had a second heart."

"Oh? Is that so? Is this double-mindedness for me, or for your Lord Marquis?"

Xiao Sheng trembled invisibly, but said nothing.

"Xiao Sheng, remember, you are good to Odin and protect him in everything. I have no objection, and I even hope that you will do so. But——don't do something that crosses the bottom line and forgets your identity, otherwise..."

"Xiao Sheng understands." Xiao Sheng replied mechanically, his face pale and cold under the moonlight.

"That's good." Bremen patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "The empire needs the assistance of talents like you. Do your business with peace of mind. Everything will be arranged in the future."

"Go back. Don't let Odin find out."

When the two were talking, what no one noticed was that a black figure flashed by the gate of the inner garden.

"elder brother!"

Anio slipped in from the outside of the room a little bit, and flung himself to Anio's bed with a cautious look, "I went downstairs to ask the janitor to turn on the light. Guess what I saw?"

Antoine knew his younger brother's eccentric personality, so he didn't care too much: "What did you see?"

"I saw His Highness Breman in the garden alone!" Anio said.

Antoine was taken aback.

"It's a man with short black hair and wearing a waiter's uniform. He is tall and slender. His back is facing me. I can't see him very clearly. But he is very close to His Royal Highness Breman."

Anio danced and described, and finally asked, "Are they doing something bad?"

"Annio!" Antoine looked a little nervous. After yelling at him, he realized that he was a little emotional. He lowered his voice and said softly, "My brother told you about this, don't tell it, you know ?"

"why?"

"I can't explain it to you, so don't ask, just listen to me."

Anio wanted to speak, but when he saw his brother's stern expression, he immediately swallowed what he hadn't said, and his momentum weakened: "I know, if you don't say anything, I will keep my mouth shut!"

After speaking, he made a tight lip movement.

Antoine just smiled and rubbed his brother's head.

Spring is gradually approaching, but the weather in the Northland is still gloomy. There are sunny days, but the weather is still cold.

There was a letter from Fancheng urging His Royal Highness Bremen to go back to participate in the capital's spring celebration.

Thinking about it, I have stayed here for many days, and it will take some time to go back.It's almost time to start now.

"What do you think about leaving Antoine here to take care of things?" Briman asked Martin as he paced in the study, "Firstly, he was born in an ordinary way, so he won't join forces with those people, and secondly, he has It is easy to gain a firm foothold with contacts on the border, and thirdly, he has a smooth and sophisticated personality, so he will not be easily broken down by others."

Martin was silent for a long while before he said, "I thought you always wanted to bring him back to the palace?"

"No," His Highness Breman smiled, "As long as you agree, I would like to mention him as the head of the Northland Inspector's Office."

Martin somewhat understood what Breman meant.At present, the bureaucratic forces in the Northland are deeply intertwined, and it is difficult to eradicate them at once.Just like even if they knew who the mastermind of that incident was, they couldn't move them fundamentally.

The empire's loose jurisdiction over the North was the root cause of this matter.Breman's move is to cultivate his own power in the Northland, and in the long run, slowly pull out the cancerous tumors at the top.

However, Martin frowned:

"Aman, you have thought about it carefully, it's not that no one else will do this, there is no need..."

Let that young man run alone, caught in such a dilemma, step by step.

"I've thought it through." Briman said decisively.

Martin glanced at him twice, His Royal Highness looked indifferent, obviously determined.

"Okay. I'll give the order. But...does he count you or mine?"

Bremen smiled: "The Northland is under your jurisdiction, Odin, what do you think?"

His Royal Highness Bremen set off the next day.

When leaving, ten people ride lightly, da da far away, indifferent.

"What's the matter with you and Your Highness Breman?" Martin finally couldn't help asking after watching Bremen go away.

I really don't understand.Obviously, both of them were fine before, and they could even be said to be close friends. Everyone also thought that Antoine would follow His Royal Highness Bremen in the end.

Although Antoine agreed to follow Martin at the beginning, if Breman really wanted to keep Antoine by his side, it was just a matter of talking to Martin.But he didn't mention it.

In the end, that decision was made.Even when he left just now, his attitude towards Antoine was obviously very cold, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

"I don't know either." Antoine lowered his head, half-closed his eyes, and his blue hair fell down, making his whole body look like jade and beautiful.

Martin felt a little regretful. He originally hoped that it would be good for someone to accompany Breman. The palace was lonely and dangerous. He was really happy for Oman to have someone accompany him.

It's a pity... maybe the fate has not come yet.

Xiao Sheng followed Martin, watching Breman's disappearing figure, his eyes flickered a few times, and then fell on Martin again.

I don't know what kind of expression is in his eyes, lonely, sad, but in the blink of an eye, he is still calm.

Several people have their own concerns, no one has noticed other people's emotions, and no one knows how the world will develop in the future.

Anyway, spring is near.The southern country, thousands of miles away, gradually fell into the embrace of birds and flowers again.
