Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 82: Fighting confrontation
Evan's firm words made Duke Wilson a little flustered. He immediately released his hands that restrained Evan, and explained somewhat at a loss: "I...I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it. Yes, I'm just too excited."
Duke Wilson said this, but he didn't dare to look at Evan. Since that confession, this was the first time he expressed his true feelings in front of Evan.
Evan frowned deeply when he looked at him with a somewhat embarrassed look. He can't see through the duke now. Sometimes he looks very determined and cold, but on this kind of issue , but he was like an inexperienced boy, so he didn't know how to deal with it.
Evan stroked his cuff, smoothed the wrinkled cuff by Duke Wilson, paused slightly, and then said: "Lord Duke, you don't have to explain, I don't blame you on this issue. What you mean is that if you also regard me as your friend, then our friendship should be based on mutual respect, otherwise I don't know what to do."
Although Evan's remarks were very gentle, the firmness in them was very obvious. Duke Wilson's expression couldn't help but stagnate.
He had always thought Evan was the most unusual person he had ever met in public, but he never thought Evan would say such a thing.
Respect each other? He was born noble, who would dare to say mutual respect in front of him? Except for the royal family, no one in the world can get his respect, but at this time Evan said this, and his expression also showed that he was very serious, Duke Wilson was a little stunned.
He looked at Evan's serious expression, pursed his lips slightly, and said, "Of course I respect you, please rest assured."
He seemed to finally understand the hidden worries in Evan's heart at this time. Maybe he didn't give himself an answer for so long. What he cared about was this. After all, there is a gap between him and his identity. Maybe his own You can deceive yourself, but Evan feels very clearly. At this moment, Duke Wilson finally wakes up from his feelings and starts to think about Evan's thoughts.
Evan nodded slightly, turned and walked to the suite inside. It was getting late. If he guessed correctly, tomorrow would be the highlight of the day. After all, Prince George won't be back until tomorrow afternoon.
Before closing the door, he looked at Duke Wilson, who was slightly confused, and said warmly, "Then, good night, Lord Duke."
Duke Wilson nodded in a trance, Evan closed the door mercilessly, but when he stood in front of the washbasin, he found a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Evan touched his face and didn't understand the reason for his smile, perhaps because the Duke's expression was too cute, Evan thought so, he ignored his inner uncertainty , After taking a shower, I fell asleep completely.
Evan was awakened the next day.
The knock on the door in his ear woke him up from his deep sleep. He forced his heavy eyelids to open, his ears were buzzing, and the back of his head was aching. Evan glanced at the watch on the bow, But at five o'clock in the morning, the anger in his heart couldn't be suppressed.
"What's the matter?" He opened the door angrily and asked impatiently.
Duke Wilson at the door looked at Evan like this and couldn't help but be stunned. During their relationship, Evan has always been gentle and calm. It was the first time he saw Evan with such an outgoing temper. .
"Mr. Pastor, something has happened." Although he thought Evan was a bit amused, Duke Wilson could still distinguish the priorities of the matter, and immediately said solemnly.
Evan was originally half asleep and half awake, but when he heard this sentence, it seemed like a basin of cold water was poured from his head, and he immediately woke up.
"What's the matter? What's wrong?" He looked at Duke Wilson nervously.
Duke Wilson's face was also a little unsightly. He pursed his lips slightly and said, "Duke Rand is here."
Evan is completely sober this time: "Duke Rand? What does he want to do?"
Duke Wilson couldn't help but cast his gaze on Evan's white collarbone. Because he was wearing a wide pajamas, the graceful arc above his collarbone was completely exposed to Duke Wilson's sight.
"He...he wants to let me in." Duke Wilson said dryly.
"Let you enter the palace?" Evan frowned: "Isn't His Majesty already dead? Why did Duke Rand let you enter the palace?"
Speaking of this, Duke Wilson couldn't help but sneer: "You are too kind, of course you can't understand his vicious thoughts, he is not mourning the king, he just wants to deceive me into the palace, but see I'm not fooled, of course he's in a hurry, he wants that excuse to deal with us, and now the Duke of Rand has led the guards of Buckingham Palace to surround the entire castle, and wants Oram to hand me over."
As soon as Evan heard the news, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "Then what should I do? Also, is Lord Edward all right?" They did not bring Edward this time. In the hands, then I am afraid that the tragedy of the previous life will be repeated.
"Don't worry." Hearing him ask this, Duke Wilson's tone softened: "Edward has been protected by me for a long time, he is fine, although we are in a critical situation here, but as long as we survive today, wait George is back and everything will be all right, Mr. Reverend, get dressed quickly, everyone is asking about the assembly."
Evan nodded apprehensively.
After Duke Wilson left, Evan quickly changed his clothes. He didn't have any information about today's events before, because what was described in the book was also after the success of the Duke. The middle is just a brushstroke, but Looking at it at this time, he was still thinking too optimistic.
Although Duke Wilson has soldiers in his hands, those soldiers are stationed on the outskirts of London and guard the outer city of London. In order to show his loyalty to the king and minimize his own threats, the Duke has always been there. Delan Lier lived, and he was not too close to his soldiers. At this time, Duke Rand suddenly surrounded them. Even if the Duke could contact those soldiers, it would take a while for them to come over, and Duke Rand was there. The description of the original book is not a patient person. If it takes a long time, I am afraid that things will be bad.
With serious doubts, Evan walked into Lord Oram's hall. Evan looked around, and most of the people around were worried. It seemed that these people also knew that something had happened. Evan suddenly became a little worried. If these people knew the truth, they didn't know if they could be trusted.
Duke Wilson gave Evan a wink when he saw Evan coming down. Evan nodded and walked to his side. For Evan, among these people, only Duke Wilson is worthy trust.
Lord Oram was also standing with Duke Wilson at this time, but Lord Oram looked very relaxed at this time. When he saw Evan coming, he smiled and greeted: "Mr. Reverend."
Evan really couldn't laugh, but nodded: "Lord, what are you going to do about this?" Evan lowered his voice.
Lord Oram still had a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.
"You don't need to worry so much, it's just a trivial matter." Lord Oram's expression was so sincere that if Evan hadn't known what was going on, he would have almost believed him.
"You..." Evan wanted to say something, but Duke Wilson gently tugged on his sleeve. Evan snapped back to his senses, realizing that everyone around him seemed to be looking at him, so he had to force With a smile, he whispered, "That's good."
Now for these people, it is still necessary to appease the main thing, otherwise I am afraid that things will be more difficult to end.
Lord Oram was very satisfied with Evan's response and nodded with a smile.
"Gentlemen." He turned to look at the others: "His Majesty the King passed away suddenly, but the Duke of Rand is suddenly aggressive at this time. His despicable thoughts are self-evident, but fortunately, Duke Wilson is here, everyone does not need to be too If you worry too much, as long as we stay until tomorrow morning, everything will be fine.”
Evan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. Lord Oram said that Prince George would be back tonight, but he said this again, I'm afraid he still doesn't trust these people.
Lord Oram's words temporarily calmed the atmosphere in the hall, and the gentlemen at the head didn't seem so anxious. After all, the image of Duke Wilson holding military power was still very inherent in their hearts.
"Lord, Duke Rand still holds the guards of Buckingham Palace after all, can we really hold on until tomorrow?" Although most people were relieved, one gentleman was still very cautious.
Lord Oram's expression froze slightly. This slight change can only be seen clearly by Evan and Duke Wilson, who are closer to him. Others can only see his still peaceful appearance.
"Please rest assured." Lord Oram's tone was very gentle: "Although I have no soldiers in my hands, there are still quite a few guards in this castle, enough to resist until tomorrow morning."
In this era, it is very common for nobles to support private soldiers. As Lord Oram, naturally there will be more or less.
These people are not stupid either, they immediately understood what Lord Oram meant, and the expressions on their faces became much calmer than before, but at this moment, a servant suddenly ran in.
"Your Excellency." The servant breathed slightly and whispered: "There is news."
The expression of this servant made the originally peaceful atmosphere tense again. Lord Oram frowned slightly, took a deep look at the frightened servant, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: " Say something."
The servant was taken aback by Lord Oram's eyes, but he didn't dare to delay, and immediately said: "Lord Lord, Duke Rand just sent a message and said he wanted to see you."
As soon as the servant said these words, the entire hall was quiet. Duke Rand wanted to see Oram, and these people made small calculations in their hearts.
Lord Oram naturally thought of many things in his heart. He pondered for a moment and finally said: "I see, let the messenger come in first."
After instructing the servants, Lord Oram looked at the gentlemen with different expressions behind him and smiled: "Okay, gentlemen, I will solve this matter, please don't worry, everyone. Just stay in the castle, and tomorrow morning, it will all be resolved."
How dare these people believe such words, but they can't provoke Lord Oram now, they can only make a few false statements and reluctantly leave.
After these people left, Lord Oram's face darkened.
