mystery lover

On Saturday night, after a simple meal in Voldemort's manor, Charles followed the man beside him to Malfoy Manor. Although he had been informed of today's itinerary last night, it was his first time attending such an occasion , still with this man, Charles understood that this was Voldemort officially bringing himself into his world.

I used to always guess Tom's job, now I think how naive I am, this guy...

Charles always felt that with Voldemort's strength, nothing would hinder him at all.

She quietly turned her head to stare at the man's side face. Being beside him, there was always a sense of conflict that was both depressing and reassuring.

Like Voldemort had said to him last night...he had to get used to being with this man.

Because of this sentence, the young man was still thinking wildly for a long time, until this morning, when Charles woke up in Voldemort's arms, looking at the man's sleeping face, it seemed that the whole world had quieted down in a daze, and the whole room Only the sound of gentle breathing and heartbeat remained.

Staring blankly at Voldemort's peaceful sleeping face, Charles felt from the bottom of his heart that no matter whether the man next to him was Tom or Voldemort, this man's concern and love for him were the same.Such obvious love, as Professor Crouch once said to him, this kind of undisguised favor, of course, Charles Zuo, as the person involved, felt it more clearly.

In the room in the early morning, a few rays of sunlight shone through the window.

The little badger in the bed blinked soberly, his light blue eyes were filled with gentle light.

If I could wake up every day and look at this person beside me like this...

Just looking at him quietly like this, the sense of happiness overflowing from the bottom of my heart is enough to restore peace to my heart.

Leaning into Voldemort's arms, Charles knew that he was willing to adapt to this man's world. Even if he was a Lord, the Dark Lord of the wizarding world, even if such a change would be difficult for him, he seemed to be willing to do so.

*****

At the entrance to the main hall of Malfoy Manor, Voldemort glanced at the little badger beside him who was staring at him in a daze. Isn't the silly smile on the corner of the boy's mouth too sweet?

What a fool!

Even though he thought so, the black-haired man's eyes were obviously filled with a smile.This made Lucius, who came out to greet them, more attentive when he felt the obvious joy of his master.

"Lord, Master Charles."

Respectfully saluted the master in front of him and the future wife of the master.

Ah, speaking of which, the identity of the master's future wife, Master Charles, seems to be called his fiancé for short?The platinum aristocrat thought secretly.

Voldemort nodded, and led the little badger beside him into the hall of the manor. Lucius naturally followed behind his master two steps behind.

Because of Voldemort's presence, all the wizards in the manor stopped their actions and conversations, and everyone silently saluted in the direction of Voldemort and the boy surrounded in the center of the hall, offering their highest respect. tribute.

It wasn't until the man walked to the most honored position that Charles quietly listened to Voldemort beside him saying a few symbolic words to the people in the hall, and at this time, the banquet began to resume its original excitement.

As the host of this banquet, Lucius followed Voldemort's other side from beginning to end. Although his master was always stingy with glancing at him, Malfoy's master still kept pace with him and never left. Waiting for instructions from the owner.

Oh, Lord's attendance at this banquet is definitely a recognition of the status of the Malfoy family among pure-blood nobles and Death Eaters, and this boy, this boy! Lord chose to bring McAvoy to this banquet for the first time in his public appearance. This is definitely an honor to the Malfoy family and the Malfoy Manor! ! !

At this moment, the light in the eyes of Papa Lu who is overcompensated is getting brighter and brighter. He wishes that everyone can see his shiny golden feathers, and he temporarily ignores his own desire to be with him all the time as long as he returns home. The precious son who was behind him was rarely present today?

It wasn't until after wave after wave of Death Eaters came forward to pay their respects, and even McAvoy's brother Dixon came over to exchange pleasantries with his brother, that Lucius realized something was wrong.

The platinum noble frowned slightly, and his eyes quickly swept around——

Where is Xiaolong?

Not with the Slytherins, nor in his room during the house-elf's report.

Just when Lucius couldn't help but prepare to ask Narcissa who was talking with other noble wives on the other side, Draco walked in from the outside of the hall at this time, and this appearance also made the moment Lucius, who was paying close attention to his son, frowned even more.

After Draco walked into the hall, he saw his father over there. The young man was trying his best to control his expression, making it look the same as usual. After taking a deep breath, His Royal Highness walked towards his father past.

Can't be guilty...

But he still couldn't help cursing inwardly, why the hell did he meet Crouch in the garden? !Didn't that guy come to the banquet? !Why don't you stay in the lobby and come outside? !

Not long after Draco came in, Barty Jr. also appeared at the entrance of the hall.Lucius looked at the wizard at the door, and the platinum nobleman had no special expression on his face. He just felt that it was because of the Lord's presence that Crouch, who always did his own thing, rarely came to the banquet.

Speaking of which, Patriarch Malfoy and Crouch seemed to have had no affection for each other since they were students, but they were both two generals under Voldemort, but they were in charge of different things.

Lucius has always felt that how could a person like Crouch who betrayed his family and devoted himself to Slytherin compare to the status of Slytherin in the Malfoy family, not to mention that Crouch's father was no one other than Dumbledore. No.1 against the master other than Lido.

But it happened that this little Barty Crouch was appreciated by the Lord, and now he was able to rival Malfoy's status among the Death Eaters, which made Lu's father feel very uncomfortable. There is no possibility of cooperation with the Lord who is not looked at by anyone other than the Lord.

Thinking of Draco's letter to himself some time ago, which mentioned that Crouch had insulted the Malfoy family at school, Papa Lu became even more dissatisfied with his master's loyal and loyal subordinate. The dissatisfaction has directly developed to the point that every time they meet, the two sides don't even need the pretense of kindness.

"Lord, Charles."

Draco retreated to his father after saluting Voldemort and Charles. His Royal Highness certainly sensed that his father was dissatisfied with his behavior tonight, and now he was obediently standing beside Lucius. He didn't say anything else, anyway, my father will definitely teach me a lesson after the banquet. =

Little Barty also came over at this time, and the wizard said respectfully, "Lord, Master Charles."

After Voldemort nodded, Charles also responded to the professor's greeting, "Good evening, Professor Crouch."

The young man's reply obviously caught the attention of the head of the Malfoy family. Lucius looked at the expression on Charles's face. It was not like the alienation and politeness when greeting other nobles. Is it out of real closeness? !

Even if the other party is a professor, you don't need to be so respectful!Lucius was almost in the same mood as his precious son at the moment, and then quietly looked at the Lord next to McAvoy, and the master didn't seem to have any inappropriate expressions.

With the master's possessiveness...it shouldn't be like this!

In fact, Lucius really made a mistake in his judgment this time. With Voldemort's desire for monopoly, it is of course impossible for him to be unresponsive to people close to Little Badger, but how could the Lord Dark Lord's reaction make his servants find out? It's just a more presumptuous oath of sovereignty when dealing with a certain little badger.

Having noticed Malfoy next to Lord early in the morning, Barty Jr. also stepped aside at this time. When passing by the platinum nobleman, the wizard stopped in his tracks.

"Good evening, Lucius."

"...?" Here is Lucius, who was greeted by Crouch on his own initiative, and the other party's expression was kind but could definitely scare Patriarch Malfoy.Also, what's the matter with the other party's address? When did I get to know him enough to call each other by name?

Patriarch Malfoy, who was puzzled, finally moved the snake stick in his hand, "Good evening, Crouch."

And beside Lucius, looking at Crouch who was talking with his father in front of him, Draco's entire face could hardly maintain a smirk.

This bastard!

No matter how angry His Royal Highness was, Crouch seemed to have no intention of leaving, and this rare gesture of favor also made Lucius talk to the wizard in front of him after suppressing the strange emotions in his heart. .

At this moment, Draco finally looked resentfully at his father, who would never let go as long as he saw the benefits.

On the other side, taking advantage of Voldemort's inattention, Charles quietly picked up another piece of pastry.

I heard that Lord doesn't like sweets, so I must not be discovered by this man!

He took a light bite of the cake in his hand.

It's delicious QAQ...

Voldemort looked amusedly at the little badger whose back was facing him cautiously, the corner of the man's mouth deepened, and this made the Death Eaters who were talking to their master feel that they were really lucky today.

Suddenly, I feel that Master Charles is really the lucky star of their Death Eaters, isn't it!If the master is in a good mood like this every day, the Death Eaters say that their stress will be greatly reduced QAQ
