Chapter 79

Ceres stood in the middle of several guards. Even though he was pointed at by the sword, his expression didn't change much. He was used to seeing life and death. His black eyes under his gray temples still looked directly at Lorraine hill.

"Ceres, do you have anything to say?" Chelsea, the maid in chief, came in from the door again, looked at the colleague who had worked together for nearly 10 years and asked questions.

"I have nothing to say, and the explanation is just a cover up. Besides, I do feel sorry for Lord Angus. "

"You have made no less contribution to the chamber of Commerce of Carites than I have. Over the years, you have tried your best to help the chamber of commerce through many difficult times. If there is something hard to say, you may not be able to forgive and forgive your fault after explaining it to miss Lacey. "

Chelsea stood aside and advised that although there was a mistake in Ceres, his merits should not be denied. As long as it is not a fault of principle, it may not be unforgivable.

Ceres was silent, still unmoved.

Lolan hill looks at the hard rock of Ceres, and sighs in his heart. Why does he refuse to explain? He can't even give the other person a step down. In fact, the housekeeper has nothing to criticize except Angus in the matter of Mrs. mella.

She raised her sleeves, asked the guards to step down, and then asked Chelsea to bring black tea.

There are only three people left in the peaceful room. In the courtyard outside the window, you can see people walking by. Some of them are chamber of Commerce calculators, some are maids engaged in chores, and occasionally there are one or two running children. In autumn, everyone's mood is much happier than before.

The sunlight slanted into the room, not strong. Lorraine hill was sitting in the light and shadow, and her light red dress was shining.

"Uncle Ceres, can you tell me the exact origin of that child?"

"Whether he is Angus' blood or not, I will keep my promise and protect him until he reaches adulthood. I will not harm him later."

Ceres looked at Lorraine Hill's clear and transparent eyes. He was silent for a while before he spoke slowly.

"That child, indeed, was not born to Lord Angus."

"Not even Mrs. Myra's children."

"He was born to one of my comrades in arms and a miss of the Hollis family. Because of the huge gap between their identities, they couldn't be together. Under the depression, he suffered from a secret wound in his early years and died young."

"At that time, the Ellis family was fighting fiercely with us because of the spice trade. I only knew that my comrade in arms had passed away when Angus commissioned me to investigate Mrs. mella, and his child was used by the Ellis family to disturb calites. If Angus died in an accident, the child's identity was revealed, and he would get the right of inheritance, thus splitting the chamber of Commerce."

"Madame Mera is simple and kind, but she is timid. Once she is questioned severely, she can't bear the pressure. So the Hollis family came to me and promised to be kind to the child and his mother as long as I turned a blind eye and didn't expose it. In this way, the children of the comrades in arms can be saved. "

"I didn't immediately agree with them, but after a period of time, the Helios and caritus reconciled, and both sides exchanged interests, and the child became less important. If it is exposed again, the hard won reconciliation will be broken, and the descendants of comrades in arms may not survive. "

"So I kept silent with the Hollis family as if it hadn't happened, and I didn't contact them anymore."

"It wasn't until yesterday that the helys' guards assassinated the eldest lady. Because our chamber of commerce is very powerful at present, they are eager to know what Miss Lacey thinks of the helys' family, so they contacted me again."

"That's what happened. I'm willing to accept any punishment. I just hope Miss Lacey doesn't get angry with the child."

Although through scanning the information of the whole city, Lorraine Hill obtained a lot of intelligence and knew that there was some intersection between the Ceres family and the Hollis family, and there were some fragments of the truth, but after all, it was more than 10 years ago, and she was not very clear about some places.

It's only now that everything is bright. Lorraine hill looks down and stirs his tea cup. He feels sorry for Angus. Unexpectedly, he doesn't have any offspring. This man, who has been up and down all his life, died quietly in the wilderness and mountains.

"I know, I promise you. The child will not be pursued. After all, he is innocent. "

"But because of your soft heart, you cheated Angus, and he neglected to marry again. Now the Caritas family is the last one."

When the girl said this, Ceres finally lowered his head and did not lift it.

"After a while, you will claim to be old and old. Quit your job as housekeeper and go to some place in the South Islands to provide for the aged."

"I'll take care of all the things I've handed over to you as you've been punished." The voice of Ceres seemed to grow old.

"And I'll visit the Hollis tonight, and you'll be a coachman again."

"Yes, Miss Lacey." Ceres is determined to respond.

Looking at the back of Ceres as he left his study, Lorraine hill put down his tea cup and walked slowly to the windowsill to see the people coming and going in the courtyard of the chamber of Commerce.

It is impossible for her to stay here all the time. When that happens, who will lead callitus?

Slowly divergent thoughts, looking at the colorful leaves in the sea breeze, constantly swaying, bright leaves in the sun, such as scales in general, reflecting the sun.

The girl stretched out her fingers to feel the touch of the wind shuttling between them. Occasionally, the wind blows her hair disorderly and floats in the wind.

Lorraine hill, Lorraine hill, don't think too much of yourself. Can't others live without you? Chamber of Commerce or life will spontaneously seek their own sunshine, they will have their own ideas and choices, and they will walk out of their own life.

She leaned against the windowsill and hummed a tune in her memory. Her fingers tapped on the windowsill with the beat.

[that bird, it can't fly yet]

[but one day it will rise in the wind]

...

[children, walking on the track in summer]

[blowing breeze, caressing bare feet]

[bits and pieces of childhood]

[fading away]

[dream to come true]

[in my own hands]

[we keep searching]

[vanishing clouds of aviation season]

[from the time we climbed the hillside]

[all the time]

[unchanged]

[just as we have always been steadfast]

[will be able to guard]

[as strong as Poseidon]
