Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Evan couldn't sleep all night.

Duke Wilson's words made him restless for a long time, maybe he had waited too long, and he actually felt a little uneasy about what he had expected.

And this anxiety made him even more uncomfortable.

Because Evan didn't know what kind of mentality he had towards Duke Wilson at this moment.

Evan didn't come down for breakfast the next day. Whether it's based on his current character or his real thoughts, such behavior is very appropriate, but at the same time, Evan feels very awkward in his heart , Even if he doesn't go down today, at night, when it's time to go to the ball, he still has to go down, there is no doubt about it, but the bad thing is, he doesn't know how to face Duke Wilson.

No matter how entangled Evan's heart is, the pace of time will not stop. He just finished his lunch in the bedroom and took a nap for a few minutes, and the clock on the wall pointed to seven o'clock.

Evan stood up and was about to leave when there was a knock on the door: "Pastor Bruce, the Duke is already waiting downstairs." It was the voice of Chris the housekeeper.

Evan was taken aback for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I see, thank you for letting me know."

Butler Chris left, and Evan also changed into his own suit. He didn't know what kind of mentality he was holding to go down, but the moment he saw Duke Wilson, the faint anxiety in his heart was gone. Suddenly calmed down miraculously, he nodded to Duke Wilson, and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency."

Duke Wilson looked at Evan, the emotions in his eyes were a little unpredictable, he pursed his lips, but his eyes were very firm: "Mr. Pastor, you can stay in the room as long as you want, but please remember that I Everything I say comes from my heart.”

Evan looked at him, he had never doubted this, but when he thought of this, he was horrified again, he would be so convinced of Duke Wilson's feelings for him, this is really...

The smile on Evan's face was a little forced: "I... let's go first." The only thing he can do now is to hold off the edge, because after all, for him, this is not the best time to agree or reject .

The two of them got into the carriage and walked towards Lord Oram's castle. This was the biggest topic of the day.

Lord Oram's castle is located on the outskirts of London, which is a gathering area for nobles. As one of the best figures in London, Lord Oram will naturally not be at a disadvantage. His castle is the most luxurious one in this place.

Evan and the Duke's carriage were solemnly welcomed in, which was the sincerity of Lord Oram and the social treatment Duke Wilson deserved.

Lord Oram held this ball very grandly. Not only nobles but also celebrities came. The entire London social circle seemed to be gathered in this place.

As soon as Duke Wilson entered, a group of people rushed forward. The weight of a duke is still very important in this era, not to mention that a duke with the status of Duke Wilson maintains a close relationship with the royal family and at the same time holds great power in his hands. .

Because of the excitement of these people, Evan was excluded from the outside, but this was exactly what he wanted. The awkward silence in the carriage just now made Evan feel a little suffocated.

Evan walked to the edge of the dance floor, took a glass of wine, and sat on a chair placed in the shadows. Tonight's dance is definitely not easy. Evan is very sure of this, and he wants to be vigilant about this at all times, but about Duke Wilson Things like this often appear in his mind, disrupting his thoughts.

But when Evan was in a state of confusion, a person walked towards him.

Evan frowned and looked up at the person who came, it was Lord Oram.

Evan was puzzled, but he stood up immediately: "My lord." He nodded towards Lord Oram, showing a very polite manner.

Lord Oram smiled at Evan, waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and sat beside Evan at the same time.

"Mr. Pastor, how are you doing today?" Lord Oram looked at the popular Duke Wilson in the middle of the dance floor, as if he was very happy.

Evan looked at Duke Wilson, but frowned. It was one thing to know that he would be popular, but it was another thing for Qingyan to see him so popular.

"I had a good time. This is a very grand ball. Thank you very much for your invitation." Although Evan's words were gentle, they were also very official.

Lord Oram raised his eyebrows and shook the champagne in his hand: "Oh, it's really kind of you to think so, I am very happy to make you satisfied."

Lord Oram is so polite, in Evan's opinion, his politeness is almost too much.

"You're too polite." Evan said cautiously. The person in front of him was not an ordinary person. He treated himself so politely for fear of problems.

Lord Oram is very satisfied with Evan's prudence. This person is not a fool, and he is still so cautious. Then he can rest assured that such a person, after all, Duke Wilson is his biggest partner. He must guarantee that, Duke Wilson People around you can't make mistakes.

"Mr. Pastor, what do you think of the current situation in London?" Lord Oram suddenly changed the subject and talked about something else.

Evan couldn't keep up with his jumping thinking, frowned slightly and said: "London is a very beautiful city, I like it very much."

Evan used Lord Oram's words on the train to answer his somewhat meaningful question.

Lord Oram couldn't help laughing because of this answer. It seems that he was wrong. Not only is this person not stupid, but he is also very smart.

"That's true." He smiled and said, "You're right."

"But what I really want to ask you is." He stopped smiling suddenly, with an unusually obvious cautiousness in his eyes: "What do you think of the political situation in London?"

Evan was a little surprised that he would ask this question. You must know that this is the third meeting between the two of them in a real sense, but he would ask himself such a sensitive question.

"This..." Evan pursed his lips: "The old king's condition is really worrying. I hope that God will bless the king and make the king's condition better."

Evan crossed his chest devoutly, using his status as a priest to confuse this question.

Lord Oram looked at Evan, and chuckled: "I almost forgot, you are a priest, do you think this kind of secular power change would be very boring in your eyes?"

Evan's expression was slightly stagnant, but in the end he reacted immediately and said with a smile: "This is all the Lord's intention. As the Lord's servant, I cannot comment on this matter."

Lord Oram found that he couldn't get anything useful from Priest Bruce. He would always divert the conversation with words and give vague answers.

"I hope God can make the right decision." Lord Oram suddenly stood up from his chair and turned to look at Evan who stood up with him: "You are a very important person to Duke Wilson. Friends, then I and you are my friends, and I hope that in the days to come, I can still chat with you like today."

Seeing Lord Oram's slightly solemn expression, Evan paused slightly, then nodded again and said: "It will definitely."

Lord Oram left the corner where Evan was, and at this time, Duke Wilson also got rid of the entanglement of those people and walked to Evan. He frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in his tone: "Just now Oram Did I say anything to you?" While talking, he looked at Lord Oram's back as he left.

Evan pursed his lips and whispered, "It's nothing, just chatting."

Duke Wilson looked at Evan's slightly reserved expression, and a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes, but in the end he insisted on a normal tone and said: "That man never speaks the truth, so don't listen to him too much."

Evan looked at him like this, and couldn't help but smile a little in his eyes. He understood Duke Wilson's psychology, and he didn't want to see himself like this, but for Evan, whether it was his real thoughts or his The attitude that should be maintained at this time is the proper meaning.

"Your Excellency." Evan decided that he should be open and honest about tonight's ball. After all, it was a matter of his own safety and death: "What are you and Lord Oram going to do at tonight's ball?" Facing the slightly expectant eyes of Duke Wilson, Evan asked very cautiously.

Duke Wilson heaved a sigh of relief when he heard his question. He knew that Evan was a smart person, and he did not avoid Evan except when he was having secret talks with Oram. , It is true that you should see the difference, but he didn't ask before, and it's hard for him to say it. He asked now, which shows that Evan is still willing to believe in himself after expressing such feelings.

"You finally asked." There was a bit of joy in his eyes.

Evan was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt that he was really worrying unfoundedly. Duke Wilson was not an idiot. Since he would let himself know about the king's critical illness, maybe he hadn't planned to hide it from the beginning, but he was thinking too much up.

"My dear cousin Richard is now between life and death, and I will be summoned tomorrow to meet His Majesty the King at Buckingham Palace." Duke Wilson said in a low voice but quickly.

"But what you don't know." Duke Wilson pursed his lips: "What you don't know is that all the guards in Buckingham Palace are now under the control of Duke Rand. If I enter Buckingham Palace, then I will never come out. That day."

When Evan heard these words, his heart couldn't help trembling a little. He looked up at Duke Wilson, his face was cold and calm, as if he was talking about another person.

"Then you..." Evan felt a little dry in his mouth: "Then what do you decide to do?"

Duke Rand's move was not a conspiracy but an overt conspiracy. As long as Duke Wilson did not intend to treason, he must pass the Buckingham Palace summoning tomorrow, otherwise he would die if he was caught by Duke Rand.

"What should I do?" Duke Wilson looked at the dance floor where the mingling of cups and cups was shining, with a cold smile on his face: "This ball is the answer."

Evan looked at Duke Wilson's side face, and suddenly froze. He seemed to have forgotten that the man in front of him still had this side, so cold, and so hidden.

Just when Evan was in a daze, Duke Wilson suddenly turned his head and looked at Evan.

"Do you know? The way to solve the problem is to solve him at the source of the problem. My king's cousin will not be delayed until tomorrow morning. He will completely fall into the arms of the Lord tonight, so tomorrow I don't have to I'm going to Buckingham Palace." There was no slight fluctuation on Duke Wilson's face.
