Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Chapter 80: Peacefulness

    Evan couldn't fall asleep all night.

     Duke Wilson's words made him unable to calm down for a long time, maybe he waited too long, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart for such a word he had expected.

    This unease made him even more uncomfortable.

    Because Evan doesn't know, what kind of mentality he has towards Duke Wilson at this moment.

    Evan didn't come down for breakfast the next day, either according to his current character or his true thoughts, this behavior is very appropriate, but at the same time , Evan felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Even if he can't go down today, at night, when it's time to go to the dance, he still has to go down. There is no doubt about it, but the bad thing is that he doesn't know how to face it. To Duke Wilson.

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

    Evan stood up and was about to leave when the knock on the door rang: "Pastor Bruce, the Duke has been waiting downstairs." It was the voice of Steward Chris.

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

    Butler Chris left, and Evan put on his suit. He didn't know what kind of mentality he was holding, but the moment he saw Duke Wilson, The faint anxiety in his heart was suddenly calmed down miraculously. He nodded to Duke Wilson and said in a low voice, "Lord Duke."

    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. Reverend, you can stay in the room as long as you want, but please You must remember that what I said before, everything came from my heart."

    Evan looked at him, he never doubted this, but when he thought of this, he was startled again, he would be so convinced of Duke Wilson's feelings for himself, This is really…

    The smile on Evan's face became a little reluctant: "I... let's go first." The only thing he can do now is to suspend his edge, because after all, for him, this time is not The best time to say yes or no.

    The two of them got into the carriage and walked towards Lord Oram's castle. This is the biggest issue today.

    Lord Oram's castle is located on the outskirts of London, which is a gathering area for nobles. Lord Oram, as one of the best figures in London, will naturally not fall behind. His castle is the most important place in this place. A luxurious one.

    Evan and the duke's carriage were greeted in a solemn manner. This is Lord Oram's sincerity and the social treatment Duke Wilson deserves.

    Lord Orlam held this ball very grandly. Not only nobles but also celebrities came, and the whole London social circle seemed to be gathered in this place.

    As soon as Duke Wilson entered, a group of people rushed up. 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. relationship, while also holding power.

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

    Evan walked to the edge of the dance floor, brought a glass of wine, and sat on a chair in the shadows, tonight's dance is definitely not easy, Evan is very sure of this, he wants to be vigilant With this in mind, things about Duke Wilson kept popping up in his head, disrupting his thoughts.

    But just when Evan was in chaos, someone walked towards him.

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

    Evan was puzzled, but he immediately stood up: "Lord Lord." He nodded towards Lord Oram, very polite.

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

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

    Evan frowned at Duke Wilson, knowing that he would be popular, but seeing him so popular was another.

    "I had a very good time, this is a very grand ball, thank you very much for your invitation." Evan's words were gentle, but also very official.

    Lord Oram raised his eyebrows and shook the champagne in his hand: "Oh, it's really nice of you to think so, I'm very happy that you can be satisfied."

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

    "You are too polite." Evan said cautiously, the person in front of him was not an ordinary person, he treated himself so politely, I was afraid there was a problem.

    Lord Oram is very satisfied with Evan's cautiousness, this person is not a fool, and he is so cautious, then such a person can indeed rest assured that Duke Wilson is his greatest partner after all , he must ensure that the people around Duke Wilson can't leak.

    "Mr. Reverend, what do you think of the current situation in London." Lord Oram suddenly changed his words and talked about other things.

    Evan was a little unable to keep up with his escaping thinking, and frowned slightly before saying: "London is a very beautiful city, I like it very much."

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

    Lord Oram couldn't help laughing at this answer, it seemed that he was thinking wrong, this person is not only not stupid but also very smart.

    "It is true." He smiled and said, "You are right."

    "But what I really want to ask you is." He suddenly stopped smiling, with a very 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 know, this is the third time the two of them have met in the true 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 God bless the king's condition."

    Evan reverently crossed his chest, using his clergy status to obfuscate this issue.

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

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

    Lord Oram found himself unable to get the slightest bit of usefulness from Reverend Bruce, and he would always digress and give vague answers.

    "Hope God can make the right decision." Lord Oram suddenly stood up from his chair, turned to look at Evan who stood up with him: "What do you think about Duke Wilson? Said that he is a very important friend, then I and you are also my friends, and I hope that in the days to come, I can still chat with you like today."

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

    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's side, he frowned slightly, with a tone in his voice A trace of worry: "Did Oram say something to you just now?" While saying that, he looked at the back of Lord Oram leaving.

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

    Duke Wilson looked at Evan with a slightly restrained expression, a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes, but in the end he insisted on a normal tone: "That person's words are never true or false, you Don't take him too seriously."

    Evan looked at him like this, and couldn't help but smile, he understood Duke Wilson's psychology, he didn't want to see himself like this, but for Evan, no matter what Whether it is his real thoughts or the attitude he should maintain at this time, such an attitude is what it should be.

    "Your Majesty." Evan decided that he should still be open and honest about the issue of tonight's dance, after all, it was a matter of his own safety: "You and Oram at the dance tonight. What is the Lord going to do?" Facing the slightly expectant eyes of Duke Wilson, Evan asked very cautiously.

    Duke Wilson was relieved when he heard what he asked, he knew that Evan was a smart man, and he did not avoid it except when he was secretly talking with Oram. Evan, with Evan's cleverness, should really see the difference, but he didn't ask before, and he couldn't say it himself. He asked now, which means that after expressing such feelings, Evan Still willing to believe in yourself.

    "You finally asked." There was some joy in his eyes.

    Evan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that he was really worrying. Duke Wilson was not an idiot. Since he would let himself know about the king's critical illness, maybe he didn't plan to hide himself from the beginning. It's just that he thinks too much.

    "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 and quickly .

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

    When Evan heard this sentence, his heart couldn't help but tremble a little, he looked up at Duke Wilson, his face was cold and calm, as if he said something else one person.

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

    This move by Duke Rand is not a conspiracy but a conspiracy. As long as Duke Wilson does not intend to treason, tomorrow's Buckingham Palace summons will definitely pass, otherwise it will be a dead end if the Duke of Rand takes the handle one.

    "What should I do?" Duke Wilson looked at the dance floor where the dazzling lights were floating, with a grim smile on his face: "This dance is the answer."

    Evan looked at Duke Wilson's profile, and was suddenly stunned. He seemed to forget that the man in front of him still had this side, so cold and so hidden.

    Just as Evan was stunned, Duke Wilson suddenly turned his head to look at Evan.

    "You know what? The solution to the problem is to solve it at the source of the problem. My king cousin will not delay until tomorrow morning. He will be completely thrown into the arms of the Lord tonight. , so I don't have to go to Buckingham Palace tomorrow." Duke Wilson's face did not waver at all.
