34, backer(2/2)
"According to the news I received, His Highness did not agree, but he did not agree." Lucien replied. "He wants to observe and see if there are any better partners, or what higher bids his uncle can give."
"In other words, Baron Dongrail wanted to find a prince's son-in-law, but he was regarded as a replacement?" Charles concluded, "Ha... this is really a thing to defeat one thing! People like Baron Dongrail are now facing tough problems."
After a pause, Shire thought of something again.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Lucien, "That is to say... are you in a dilemma now?"
Yes, Lucien should be in a difficult situation now.
As we all know, he is the confidant of His Highness Prince Jerome, and he has achieved today with the support of His Highness Prince. However, if His Highness retires, there is no way to support him - so, like Tangeral, he has to find a backer.
"Yes, Charles, I am really embarrassed." Lucien's face suddenly became gloomy. "His Royal Highness said he wanted to retire, and there was no sign of precedent in advance. When I came to my senses, I had already fallen into this embarrassing situation."
"Then how should I help you?" Charles asked directly without wasting any time.
"Let your grandfather recommend me to His Highness Prince Louis and help me continue to stay." Lucien finally stopped dodging this time and directly expressed his request. "According to internal news, His Majesty plans to let Prince Louis succeed His Highness Prince Jerome in the near future. Even if he is not a minister, he will become one of the actual leaders of the Ministry of the Interior, so I hope I can stay at that time."
"Oh..." Charles responded meaningfully.
Charles did not expect that His Majesty would recall Louis Bonaparte to his country and would be entrusted with important tasks so soon.
Alas...it's great to be born in the royal family.
"Then why don't you let His Highness Prince Jerome recommend it? His recommendation is more legitimate, right?" Charles thought of something again.
"He refused." Lucien shook his head, "Besides, the recommendation of the ex and the follower are inappropriate no matter how you look at it..."
"I understand..." Charles laughed again.
Yes, Prince Gerome can retire. He is old and has enjoyed everything, but how could Lucien be willing? He has enjoyed the beauty of power, how could he be willing to retire with Prince Gerome? He must have found another backer.
"Charle, do you remember the last time we met? You told me that you would be happy to help me. Now it is that time. You help me find His Highness Prince Louis and make me friends with him. Then I can help you whatever you want. If you want to know the history of the department, no problem, I can tell you! If you want to do something shameful, no problem, I can help you with the aftermath!" Lucien's breathing was a little rapid, obviously excited, "As long as you can help me keep everything in hand, I can do anything for you."
Charles looked at the other party coldly. Lucien de Brey now no longer had the calmness he had just now, and his fear of gains and losses was really ugly.
"I know, Charles, I look a little ugly now, not like a free and easy Master Guijie at all, but I am not a free and easy Master Guijie at all." Lucien smiled bitterly, "You can easily get everything I have been fighting for more than ten years without any effort, so you can get it easily. For you, even if you lose something, you will always have a chance to get it again in the future, but I am different... If I lose something, I will never get it again, so I must hold it tightly, just like a drowning person holding a life-saving straw. I will never let it go. Even if it is ugly, I have to hold it tightly. Even if it is ridiculed, it is better than falling into a mud pit and being forgotten. Then, Charles, tell me, are you willing to extend your friendship hand to me and get all my reward?"
"Okay, don't worry, Lucien..." Seeing that the other party had already said this, Charles couldn't keep silent, he nodded, "I understand your mood, okay, I will let my grandpa do this, don't worry!"
"Char...thank you!" Lucien laughed from the bottom of his heart after the disaster.
He couldn't help but stand up and held Charle's hand. "Believe me, as long as you give me a way out, I can help you do anything!"
"So first tell me who did those things?" Shire was not moved, and he directly asked the questions he was concerned about.
"It's the Marquis of Novatier." Lucien did not dodge anymore and simply answered Charles, "It's the guy who has now been paralyzed from stroke. He helped the exiled Emperor take charge of Paris' affairs. After His Majesty returned, he came to the Ministry of Interior as a special personnel and took over the entire police department with several colleagues."
Before Shire could ask questions, he took out a paper bag from the briefcase he brought with him and handed it to Shire, "I have prepared all the relevant files, just check them directly."
Hello! So you have already prepared it? What about the departmental principles you just mentioned? Where are you going now?
With such complaints, Shahrmo took the paper bag silently.
Of course he wouldn't take it apart now. The two of them tacitly thought that nothing had happened and continued to start dining and chatting, but at this time their topic had become much easier.
"Now Baron Dongray is very anxious. He is afraid that Prince Louis Bonaparte will not agree to the marriage, so he keeps caring for him. I think he is really crazy." Lucien talked about his mistress's husband again.
"It is the dream of many people to let their daughter be the prince's wife, and it is not his fault." Charles replied casually.
"If this is done, no one can say anything. If it is not done, the baron will be in trouble... After all, there is already a lot of gossip about him in the social scene." There was a little mystery in Lucien de Brey's smile, "And for me, this is great news."
Charles felt something amazing from his smile.
"What? Do you want to marry his daughter too?" he blurted out.
"Yes, I really want to marry her. After all, she is so beautiful and rich." Lucien replied in a very normal tone. "At the end, I can be considered worthy of his daughter, right? After all, I have a great future, right?"
"But you are her mother's lover." Shire asked back.
"This is indeed a problem, but I think if I think of some solutions, these obstacles can be avoided." Lucien shook his head, obviously disagreed. "If his daughter cannot become the prince's wife, Baron Dongrall should have to pursue a more realistic goal, right? I should have a chance at that time. As long as I work harder, maybe I can..."
Charles' eyes narrowed slightly and stared coldly at the flying lucidian de Brey.
This is a hungry wolf.
Hungry wolves will never know what boundaries are. They will only swallow and swallow everything in front of them. There is no rule in their minds. Everyone can betray and everyone can betray them. They will never be satisfied and must step on everything under their feet.
You can only use such people and never trust them.
Just like the Attorney General Vilford.
The situation was already obvious. The Marquis of Novatier intended to hide the message of Edmund Dontes, a prisoner from Marseille, and continued to detain him, only for one reason--that is to cover up his son.
This prisoner was in Marseille and Prosecutor General Vilford was also in Marseille. This could not have been a coincidence.
It is conceivable that this prisoner must have been sent in by Vilford. For the sake of his son, Marquis Novatier violated the principle and forced a supporter of the emperor to be imprisoned in the emperor's prison until he died without seeing the light of day.
The father helped his son do this, but how did he repay his father?
He isolated his father, who was paralyzed in bed, as a person who could be merciless, and wanted to deprive him of his property.
Haha, the world is really ruthless now.
Lucien de Brey, who was talking, suddenly found that the boy in front of him sighed and sighed that he was confused.
