Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Evan didn't know what Duke Wilson did when he went to the police station, but he could tell that since he came back from the police station, he was not in a very good mood and became very irritable and irritable. Butler Chris was implicated, and Evan was very puzzled. He didn't know what Mel had said to him to make him so angry.

It's just that although Evan was puzzled in his heart, he didn't say it out, because he could see that the Duke was also trying his best to behave normal in front of him. He didn't want him to be disturbed by this matter, so he tried not to mention it. Anyway, in Evan's view, Colonel Mel is now a lost dog, and he does not pose any threat to Duke Wilson.

It wasn't until an afternoon before Colonel Mel's trial that Evan finally saw Duke Wilson's smiling face again.

He left the manor early in the morning that day, and didn't come back until the afternoon. At that time, Evan was sitting on the terrace in the living room reading a book. Because of old Bruce, he had been staying at the Cornwall Manor for the past few days. Wen had resolutely rejected Old Bruce's proposal before, and the lady named Mary had also left Delanele that afternoon, but Old Bruce, who was angry and anxious, fell ill and was now living in the town. In the hotel, Evan was afraid that something would happen to him, so he simply didn't go back to his hut, and lived directly in the Duke's manor.

As soon as Duke Wilson came back, Evan noticed that there was something slightly wrong with his expression, which was different from the suppressed violent gentleness of the past. At this time, he even looked a little excited, with lights shining in his eyes.

"Charles?" Evan walked towards him with some doubts: "What happened?" His change was so obvious that it was difficult for Evan to ignore it.

Duke Wilson rubbed his hands excitedly, and said with a smile, "No, it's just that Mel's matter is finally coming to an end."

Evan raised his eyebrows slightly. He knew that the Duke hadn't told him the truth, but he didn't ask any more, just smiled and said: "Yeah, this matter is really terrible, it's better if it can end sooner .”

In fact, this can be regarded as what Evan said in his heart. Colonel Mel not only fooled himself this time, but also fooled the Duke. implicated.

Duke Wilson nodded with a smile, but he still didn't say a word, but the depression in his eyes was finally gone, and Evan was relieved.

Seeing the change in Evan's expression, Duke Wilson couldn't help feeling soft in his heart. He knew that Evan had noticed his bad mood these past few days. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, he was a little angry. Good at handling.

Because of this feeling of being threatened by others, he has not felt it for a long time.

Duke Wilson looked at Evan's gentle face, and suddenly remembered the words his father said to him before he died. Perhaps at that time, it was the only feeling of being threatened in his life.

Duke Wilson's eyes were dim. He clenched his fists and glanced at Edward who was sitting on the sofa reading a book of fairy tales. His original gloom finally dissipated.

The atmosphere of the subsequent dinner was warm and brisk. The servants of the Cornwall Manor, who were originally under the cloud, were also relieved. I can finally get back to normal.

The next morning, Evan got up very early. Originally, he and Duke Wilson slept in the same room for the past few days, and sometimes they would toss very late, but last night, the Duke who was supposed to come to Evan's room did not Appeared, so this night Evan did not go to bed late as usual, but fell asleep early, so of course he woke up much earlier.

It's just that when Evan went downstairs, he found that Duke Wilson had already woken up. He was wearing a dressing gown, with a solemn and indifferent face, standing in the living room, talking to the half-bent Butler Chris.

Evan intuitively sensed that something was wrong, and walked straight towards the Duke.

When the Duke saw Evan coming, his expression relaxed a little, and he also went up to him.

"Why did you get up so early?" the Duke said softly, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Evan frowned, and did not answer his question intended to change the subject, but said directly: "What happened?"

Duke Wilson looked a bit ugly, pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Eliza is dead."

"What?" Evan couldn't help but widen his eyes: "What's going on?"

It was so sudden, how could Eliza die?

Duke Wilson couldn't hide it, he could only sigh, and said in a low voice: "In the early hours of this morning, the Mel manor caught fire, and the servants fled in all directions, but they couldn't find Mrs. Mel, and finally waited for the fire to go out. Only then did I find out that Eliza locked herself in the cellar, and she was the one who lit the fire."

"How is this possible?" Evan frowned and looked at Duke Wilson: "She is still pregnant, how could she do such a irrational thing."

Duke Wilson couldn't help but smiled wryly: "You can see that her feelings for Mel are so crazy, it's not surprising that she would do such a thing."

"What about Mel?" Evan tentatively believed this statement, but Mel's side was the most important thing. If Mel knew the news, he didn't know why he would go crazy.

"If he knows, I'm afraid it will be troublesome." Evan said with a worried expression.

Duke Wilson did not have such worries as Evan, he just raised his eyebrows and said: "What else can he do? Originally, Elisa would not be able to live, and it would be considered decent to die like this. If he doesn't know how to praise, he can't go change what."

Evan is not as optimistic as Duke Wilson. For a person like Mel, who can take such a big risk for an Elisa, Evan can't predict what crazy things he will do.

"I think you still need to pay attention to Colonel Mel." Evan organized his words and said softly, "I'm afraid he will do something irrational."

Duke Wilson didn't seem worried, just smiled and said: "Don't worry, he will be tried at noon today. At this time, even if he wants to do something, it is too late. I will go to see him later Yes, he's a smart guy, he should know what can and can't be done."

Evan glanced at the Duke with some doubts. Colonel Mel could do this kind of thing for Eliza this time. Evan really couldn't regard Colonel Mel who was implicated in Elisa as a smart person.

It's just that the Duke's attitude is also a bit weird. Logically speaking, he has experienced all these things one by one, but he is so disapproving at this time. Combined with his excited appearance last night, it is really abnormal.

After breakfast, the Duke left the manor. Evan was a little worried, but he believed in the Duke's way of handling things, so he was still calm. However, when the news came in the afternoon, Evan was not calm at all. .

Colonel Mel hanged himself in his cell before going to court, and even left a suicide note, saying that he could not bear the blow of Eliza's death. His property was donated to the duke free of charge to repay his betrayal of the duke and damage to his reputation.

The occurrence of this incident finally convinced Evan that there must be some kind of tacit agreement or agreement between the Duke and Mel when they met privately that day.

Evan didn't believe that Colonel Mel would be such a fragile person. The person he loved the most in the world died, and he would commit suicide so easily instead of choosing a more drastic method. Knowing Colonel Mel was quite different.

Evan couldn't help sighing. He now understands the duke's moodiness these past few days. I'm afraid that that day, Colonel Mel must have caught some trick of the duke and had some kind of negotiation with the duke. Colonel Ill has followed Duke Wilson for so long, so he must know some inside information that outsiders don't know.

If you think so, then Eliza's death has become suspicious.

Eliza is probably...

Evan's expression was dark. Eliza did such a terrible thing. It would be a pity if he escaped as he expected.

When it was dark at night, Duke Wilson finally came back. This time, he came back with obvious exhaustion and subtle disappointment on his face.

Evan felt a little uncomfortable seeing him like this, but he couldn't say anything about this kind of thing. After all, in his opinion, everyone should have their own secrets, and he didn't want to force the Duke. Let him tell himself everything about him, and at the same time he will keep the secret of his time travel forever. In Evan's view, this is a basic courtesy.

"Mel is dead."

Although Evan would not take the initiative to speak, Duke Wilson took the initiative to speak.

His expression was so cold, as if the person who died was not the right-hand man he had been relying on before, but an irrelevant person, but Evan saw the deep sadness in his eyes, which was a mixture of disappointment and anger. With a look on his face, Evan couldn't help feeling a little heavy in his heart.

"I heard." Evan said softly.

Duke Wilson didn't say another word, he stretched out his hand to wrap Evan's waist standing in front of him, buried his face deeply into Evan's collar, took a deep breath, let him The scent melted into his whole body.

"He's a traitor and a murderer, there's nothing to sympathize with," he murmured.

"Yes." Evan echoed him softly, patting his back lightly.

This thing is finally over, with Mel's death, it's over, everything is over, whether it's him, the Duke, or the dead Mel, all of them , they all got what they wanted, and they all went to their own endings.

Mel's death did not cause any fluctuations in Evan's heart, not even the slightest ripple. He deserved this ending. He did something unforgivable and set up such a big game to kill everyone. It's all implicated, and it's not sad that there will be such an ending in the end.

The only thing that made Evan feel a little uncomfortable was Eliza who had escaped from the French Open. That woman did such a cold-blooded thing but was not punished. This was something Evan could not accept.

Just looking at Duke Wilson who was hugging him tightly, he couldn't help feeling soft-hearted. If it was for him, then that's fine, and he couldn't accept even the slightest harm to the Duke.
