Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Chapter 78 A Mess of Chaos

London is the most prosperous place in the whole of England, but London at this time is probably the ugliest time. This is different from the modern city hundreds of years later. At this time, London looks a little different except for the West End. Other places, everywhere It is a desolate place, and it is already late autumn. For the entire common people, it has entered a very terrifying season.Almost everyone who has no winter reserves flocks to London, looking for opportunities to survive the severe winter in this place.

Oram said that London is very beautiful now, which seems ironic to Evan.

"Really?" Duke Wilson looked at Oram with a mocking expression: "It's a pity that Prince George is not in such a beautiful London at this time."

Although Duke Wilson understood Oram's hint, he found the beautiful lady that Oram said very harsh, so he couldn't help but mocked.

Duke Wilson's words changed Oram's face. Prince George is now far away from London, which is the most unfavorable situation for them. If there is any problem before they make arrangements, it will be very difficult to end.

"That's right." Lord Oram forced a smile. After all, he was the one who raised the topic. Even if Duke Wilson was too aggressive, he could only back down.

After that, the atmosphere between the three fell into an awkward silence. Oram was worried about Prince George's trip to Wales, Evan was also worried about the direction of the world, and Duke Wilson was worried. Simply not knowing what to say, he was still at a loss when facing Evan.

The trains of this era are not as fast as the trains many years later. It takes six hours to go from Delan Lille to London. They get on the train at eight o'clock, and they don't arrive until two o'clock in the noon. This is a long time , For several people in the carriage, it became a kind of torture.

Evan pretended to look at the Bible in his hand, but what he was thinking about was how to resolve their relationship with the Duke after he went to London. This matter lay between the two of them, and it would be absolutely impossible if it was not resolved. There will always be such a knot between them, and it will be very unfavorable for the future exchanges between the two of them, but how to deal with this knot is worth thinking about for Evan.

Although the train was moving slowly, the destination would still arrive. When the train arrived at London Station, the three of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The carriage that came to pick up Lord Oram had already parked at the gate of the station. Lord Oram warmly invited the Duke to sit in his carriage, and offered to take the Duke to the Duke's residence in London in person.

Of course, Duke Wilson would not refuse such a request. After all, at this moment, he had already chosen Prince George. As the prince's ally, Lord Oram, he still couldn't be too indifferent.

Evan looked at everything in front of him. This is the place he left half a year ago. Although his church is in the suburbs of London, he would come to the city from time to time. Looking at the familiar scenes around him, Evan couldn't help but sigh, The city is still so stubborn that it will not change even a little bit.

Evan followed Duke Wilson into Lord Oram's carriage, and after the friendly contact just now, the friendly atmosphere between Lord Oram and the Duke seemed to be opened up at this time, only to hear him whisper: "Duke My lord, when you come to London this time, let me tell you one thing first, please don't worry."

Seeing Lord Oram's serious face, Duke Wilson couldn't help but frowned. He didn't say such words until he arrived in London. Could it be that something happened? Duke Wilson's heart beat a drum, and even Evan beside him showed seriousness complexion.

"You say." Duke Wilson pursed his lips coldly, as if he would regret it if he said something unsatisfactory next.

Lord Oram trembled in his heart, but finally said in a deep voice, "Your cousin, His Majesty King Richard III, may be called by the Lord within five days."

"What?" Duke Wilson was shocked. Although he knew that the old king was seriously ill and would die soon, he didn't know that it would be so soon.

"How do you know?" Although Duke Wilson knew that since Oram said such a thing, it was very likely to be true, but he couldn't help asking. Although he and Richard had a normal relationship, after all It was his cousin, his blood relative.

Lord Oram looked at Evan with some spirit, and blinked: "This is definitely a reliable source, because I trust you and Pastor Bruce, I only tell this matter, I still hope that you and Pastor Monsieur can keep it a secret."

Lord Oram could see the Duke's trust in the pastor, and this matter was not a top secret at this time, so he just showed kindness to the two of them to show his kindness.

Evan made a surprised expression just now, and even crossed himself on his chest. Hearing what Lord Oram said, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not reveal half of this matter. words."

Although he had known for a long time that the king's life was not long, but because of the vague description in the book, he still didn't know such a clear date.

"This matter is natural. Pastor Bruce is a trustworthy gentleman. You don't have to worry about it. Does George know about this matter?" Duke Wilson asked with a frown.

The old King Richard is not a good-looking mascot. Although he likes his younger brother, the Duke of Rand, and does not care enough about his son because of his mistress, he is not an old fool after all. He knows the importance of a crown prince to the country. That's why the general London guards were handed over to Prince George, but at this time the prince is in Wales, if the king has any troubles, the prince may be in danger.

"Of course His Royal Highness knows about it." Oram lowered his head. This plan is a huge challenge for Prince George. If it succeeds, it will be done once and for all, but if it fails, it will be death without a place to die. .

Duke Wilson's frown deepened. Since Prince George knew the news, it meant that he had other arrangements. However, according to reports from his spies in London, Prince George had indeed gone to Wales. What happened to a play?Duke Wilson is a mess right now.

"You..." Duke Wilson glanced at the carriage door: "You just need to be clear in your heart." This is not a place for conversation, and some things should be cautious.

Lord Oram smiled slightly, and then said again: "I heard that you have a very rich collection of books in your study. I wonder if I have the honor to read them." Followed the steps.

Duke Wilson nodded and said nothing more.

Evan sat on the sidelines, watching these two people communicate, and his heart was actually very complicated. He was in this position, and everyone regarded him as an accessory of the Duke. This was very uncomfortable for him, but for His social status at this time, if he didn't want to change the world, he would have no way to change this social status quo, so Evan could only hide his dissatisfaction in his heart, but his mood for further attacking the Duke became more and more serious. firm.

The three of them came to the Duke's house next to Hyde Park. This is the place where the Duke often lives in London. Because of the rush this time, the Duke did not bring too many servants, but the housekeeper Chris was very thoughtful. Let a few servants come to this place and clean the house. After all, no one has been to this place for a long time. It has been several years since the Duke returned to Delan Lille. Except for the inspection and maintenance of this place every year, it has been a long time No one lived there.

But fortunately this time, the house did not live up to the expectations of Chris' housekeeper. The few people who came in advance cleaned up the house very cleanly, and because of the annual maintenance, the house was not too dilapidated. From Evan's point of view, the house , does not match his history of more than 100 years.

After arriving at the house, Duke Wilson and Lord Oram quickly went upstairs. They had many things to talk about, but Evan was not qualified to participate.

Evan consciously went to the room arranged by the Duke. It was not far from the Duke's room. Evan stood at the door and glanced at the Duke's study with a very complicated look in his eyes.

Perhaps his position in the Duke's heart is still the same, but the current status quo is still a bit delicate, and Evan must not allow this status quo to continue.

The conversation between Duke Wilson and Lord Oram was not long. Half an hour later, the two of them came out of the room, and at this time, dinner was ready.

Evan was called down by the servant. When he went down, Duke Wilson and Lord Oram had already had a heated fight. The two of them seemed to have completely forgotten about the embarrassing scene on the train. Wen couldn't help being taken aback when he read it.

"Pastor Bruce." Lord Oram greeted Evan with a smile.

Evan subconsciously smiled at him, and said in a low voice, "Duke Wilson, Lord Oram."

Duke Wilson restrained his smile the moment he saw him, but felt that it was a little inappropriate, and finally hooked the corners of his mouth a little stiffly.

Seeing Duke Wilson's reaction, Evan couldn't help but smile in his heart, this person is really awkward.

Under the service of his servants, Evan sat on the left hand side of Duke Wilson, opposite to Lord Oram. Lord Oram was in a very good mood at this time, and immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Pastor, do you know? In a few days There will be a ball at my house, and you must go there, I insist on that."

Seeing his excited look, Evan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Just now they said that King Richard's death was within five days, and now they are going to hold a dance party. This jump is really too big.

"I'm flattered by your invitation." Evan smiled very reservedly. Since Lord Oram said so, Duke Wilson will definitely not be left behind, and of course he has to go.

Lord Oram smiled, knowing that Evan had understood what he meant. For him, perhaps the biggest plan was the ball in a few days. After that ball, would they skyrocket or fall into hell? It is completely clear.
