Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 55: Innocent children
Alia couldn't tell how she felt about the priest. When she first realized that Duke Wilson was different from him, she didn't take it seriously, but then more and more The more signs there were, the more she felt a little weird.
Alia's sixth sense made her realize that there was some kind of problem between the two people, and although Aaliyah had lived in the small town of Delanlier since she was a child, she didn't really know She had also heard about some special hobbies of gentlemen in this era, but she never imagined that Duke Wilson, whom she respected, would have such a problem.
Alia's heart is very complicated. She was only guessing before, but Ford's determination made it even more difficult for her to accept it.
Alia bit her lower lip lightly, looking unpredictable.
Dr. Hester saw that Arya was suddenly standing still, and hurriedly turned around and called her in a low voice: "Arya!"
Dr. Hester's expression was so serious that Arya herself was taken aback.
"Let's go." Dr. Hester's face was ashen, he thought Arya was going to do something unexpected again.
Alia saw Dr. Hester so anxious, nodded slightly, and followed.
Alia and Dr. Hester came to the side room where the guests were entertained. In the side room, many local gentlemen from Delanere also gathered. The most conspicuous ones were standing in the middle with red faces. Sheriff Chandler, the thorny case has finally been solved at this time. Sheriff Chandler has been very excited these days.
"Oh, my dear Mr. Doctor, you are finally here." Sheriff Chandler, because of his height, saw the Hesters walking in at a glance.
"And Miss Arya, I haven't seen you for a long time." Sheriff Chandler gave a very gentle salute.
Alia smiled a little nervously. She has been waiting for Edward's arrival, and only then will she have a chance.
It was Dr. Hester, who chatted with Sheriff Chandler with great interest. Regarding this case, Dr. Hester obviously has many theories and wants to communicate with Sheriff Chandler. His face was full of bitterness, but it was really hard to refuse. You must know that Dr. Hester is still very prestigious in Delanlier.
Dr. Hester was completely involved in this treacherous case. It didn't take long for Arya to forget about Arya's existence. Arya secretly withdrew her hand from Doctor Hester's arm, holding The corner of the skirt walked towards Edward's room in his memory.
Because of the large number of people coming this time, no one noticed Arya's actions. She slipped to the second floor very smoothly, but stopped when she passed Evan's room. She was very curious, What kind of magic does this priest have to be favored by a cold gentleman like Duke Wilson.
Alia looked at the door with some hesitation, and finally left. Now is not the time to care about this matter. Edward is the most important thing. As long as she has control of Edward, Pastor Bruce will not constitute threatened.
Alia confirmed her thoughts and walked directly to Edward's room on the third floor.
When Arya left completely, the door that was closed suddenly opened, and Evan's expressionless face appeared behind the door. He looked at Arya's back, tiptoeing, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth , as expected.
Alia quickly came to the door of Edward's room and knocked lightly on the door. After a while, a childish voice came from the door: "Who?"
Alia was stunned when she heard such an unfamiliar tone, and then immediately reacted, groaning in her heart, and hurriedly whispered: "It's me, Arya."
"Alia?" With a somewhat puzzled voice, the door was opened, and little Edward looked at Arya with a frown in a suit.
Alia was relieved to see him. She knew that Edward hated being in close contact with anyone other than the Duke and Reverend Bruce, so if it wasn't for necessity, his room usually had few footmen. serve.
"Lord, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you very much." Arya said with great sincerity.
Edward's impression of Arya is not bad. Although he has been estranged after not seeing each other in the past few days, he is still relatively close emotionally.
"Come in, Arya, it's great that you can come today." Edward's face immediately put on a innocent smile.
Alia's expression was a little stiff. It seemed that even Edward was aware of the things she hated by the Duke.
Alia followed Edward into the room, and sat down under Edward's warm reception, but looking at Edward's innocent face, she didn't know how to speak.
"Alia, do you have anything to do with me?" Although Edward was a child, the question he asked was to the core. Arya was the guest this time. At this time, she should not be in this place. .
Alia froze and glanced at Edward, his eyes were still innocent and pure, as if she didn't know how sharp the question she had just asked was.
"I... I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much, so I wanted to come and see you." Arya said with a dry smile.
This excuse is very ridiculous. Today is Edward's birthday, and he is the protagonist of the day. If she wants to see him, in ten minutes, I'm afraid she doesn't want to see Edward.
But Edward didn't seem to realize that this excuse was so stupid, and still smiled innocently: "I miss you Arya very much too, you know, Evan read it to me a few days ago, The book you gave me earlier, but Evan said, that book is a bit advanced for me and not suitable for my age."
Alia couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied when she heard these words. It was abhorrent for someone like Pastor Bruce to criticize her taste, to slander her in front of a child.
"Lord Edward." Arya said very quickly: "Please don't believe the words of Pastor Bruce, you are the only son of Duke Wilson, the knowledge reserve you need is much higher than that of a normal child, that book Exactly what you should read, you can't lower your expectations of yourself by listening to the ridiculous words of Reverend Bruce, you must always remember that you are an honorable lord."
Alia's remarks are full of irony, especially about Evan, her sarcasm is so overflowing that it almost overflows.
But Edward's face gradually turned cold with her words, but Arya didn't see such a change, and he continued to say in a big way.
"Actually, what I want to tell you today is not only these, but what I want to tell you is that you should also know that Mr. Verde, who came to Delanlier this time, has been with Bruce before. The pastor knew him very well. According to him, Pastor Bruce was not as simple and kind as he appeared. He was actually a very scheming person. He took this opportunity to recover and seduced Wilson. The duke, the duke has developed feelings for him now, the lord, please be sure to prevent such a terrible thing from happening, if this matter spreads, I am afraid that the duke will be ruined!"
Alia is like an upright warrior, looking righteously at Edward, expecting the child's reaction in her heart, or turning pale with fright and throwing herself into her arms for comfort, still angry Immediately kick Bruce out of Cornwall Manor.
Regardless of the outcome, Arya's heart was filled with joy.
It's just a pity that Edward didn't have any of the above reactions, he looked at Arya coldly without any expression on his face.
"That's what you want to say to me?" His tone was very cold, with a childish voice that looked a little weird.
Alia looked at Edward and couldn't help shivering. She had never seen Edward like this. Edward had always been a weak and innocent child in her heart.
"I... I'm telling the truth." Arya's tone trembled slightly, and she suddenly realized that things were not as simple as she thought.
"Humph! The truth?" Edward suddenly stood up from his chair, his short stature suddenly looked imposing at this moment.
"Miss Arya, you framed a gentleman in front of me with no evidence at all. You told me this is the truth? Then I ask you, if Pastor Bruce is really as despicable and shameless as you say, what the **** is he? What did you do?" Edward's eyes glowed darkly, looking very dangerous.
Alia looked at the child in front of her in disbelief. This was not the innocent child she knew before. At this moment, she suddenly realized that the child in front of her was a lord, a noble.
No noble in this world is pure.
"Love...Edward..." Arya looked at him and murmured. Of course she had no evidence. When she heard Ferd's suggestion on Bruce's personality, she didn't think about it at all. , subconsciously took this as a fact, and also prayed for the approval of others.
Edward frowned, and his tone was very cold: "Miss Arya, you should call me Lord Lord, your behavior makes me very despised, and the friendship between you and me will end here! "
When Arya heard this, she felt a sudden despair in her heart. Now, even Edward rejected her, which left her with no way out.
"Edward, no, my lord, listen to me, although I can't provide any evidence for the character of Reverend Bruce, I did not lie about the matter between him and Duke Wilson, and now the Duke has been arrested. He is attracted, this is absolutely true, you must believe me, the reputation of the Duke cannot be tarnished because of him, you must take action!"
Alia was not reconciled to being defeated like this, and made a final struggle before leaving.
Edward looked at Arya coldly and sneered: "Miss Arya, I think you haven't figured out the current situation! Why do you think I tried to match you and Evan before? Of course? It's because I want Evan to stay with me, wouldn't it be better now that you told my father that he had feelings for him? He could stay in Cornwall forever, stay with me forever, this It's the best thing ever."
His expression is very cold, but his tone is very soft, and in such a situation, it looks very strange.
Alia was completely taken aback by him.
Looking at the stunned Arya, Edward leaned down gently and whispered in her ear: "By the way, Miss Arya, your words reminded me that this matter cannot be spread out. , if I hear any news spread, then I will think that you did this, and at that time, what you need to pay is beyond my control."
Alia looked straight into Edward's eyes, and a strange thought suddenly appeared in her heart. The child in front of him really doesn't look like a six-year-old child. He is simply a devil, a man from hell. Crawling out of the devil!
