Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Chapter 55: naive toddler

    Alia couldn't tell how she felt about the priest, and when she first realized how Duke Wilson felt about him, she didn't take it seriously , but then more and more signs made her feel a little weird.

    Alia's sixth sense made her realize that there was some kind of problem between the two, and although Aaliyah had lived in the small town of Derain since she was a child, she had It's not that she really doesn't know the world. She has heard of some special hobbies of gentlemen in this era, but she never imagined that Duke Wilson, whom she respects, would have such a problem.

    Alia's heart is very complicated, she was only guessing before, but Ferd's determination made it even more difficult for her to accept.

    Alia bit her lower lip lightly, looking unpredictable.

    Doctor Hester saw that Arya suddenly stood 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.

    Seeing Dr. Hester so anxious, Arya nodded slightly and followed.

    Alia and Dr. Hester came to the side room to entertain the guests. In the side room, many local gentlemen of Desiree also gathered, and the most conspicuous ones were Standing in the middle of the red-faced Sheriff Chandler, the previously difficult case finally had the dawn of detection at this time, Sheriff Chandler has been very excited these days.

    "Oh, my dear doctor, you are finally here." Sheriff Chandler, because of his height, saw the Hester father and daughter 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 hauntedly, she has been waiting for Edward to come, and only then will there be 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 talk to Chandler. The sheriff communicated, and the sheriff was full of bitterness, but it was really difficult to refuse. You must know that Dr. Hester is still very prestigious in Delanlier.

    Dr. Hester was completely involved in this treacherous case, and it didn’t take long for Arya to forget the existence of Arya, who secretly retreated her hand from Dr. Hester’s arm He came out and walked towards Edward's room in his memory with the corner of his skirt.

    Because there were so many 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 is very curious, what kind of magic does this priest have, so that a cold gentleman like Duke Wilson is favored.

    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, as long as she has control of Edward, Bruce The pastor is no longer a threat.

    Alia confirmed her thoughts and walked directly to Edward's room on the third floor.

    When Arya left completely, the closed door suddenly opened, Evan's expressionless face appeared behind the door, he looked at Arya's back, tiptoeing, There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, which was unsurprising.

    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?" Doubtful.

    Alia couldn't help but be stunned when she heard such an unfamiliar tone, and then immediately reacted, secretly groaning in her heart, and hurriedly whispered: "It's me, Alia."

    "Alia?" With a somewhat puzzled voice, the door was opened. Little Edward was wearing a suit and frowned at Alia.

    Alia was relieved when she saw him, she knew that Edward hated being in close contact with other people except the Duke and the Reverend Bruce, so if his room was not out of necessity, it was usually Few servants serve.

    "Lord, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you very much." Arya said very sincere feelings.

    Edward's impression of Arya is not bad. Although they have been alienated from not seeing each other these days, they are still relatively close emotionally.

    "Come in, Arya, it's great that you can come today." Edward's face immediately put on a pure 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 did not should be in this place.

    Alia froze, glanced at Edward, his eyes were still innocent and pure, as if she didn't know how sharp the question she 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.

     

    But Edward didn't seem to realize that this excuse was so stupid, he still smiled innocently: "I miss you Arya very much, you know, Evan was still a few days ago. Read it to me, the book you gave me before, but Evan said that the book is a bit advanced for me and is not suitable for my age."

    Alia couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied when she heard this. People like Pastor Bruce even came to criticize her taste. It's really hateful to slander her in front of a child. .

    "Lord Edward." Arya said very quickly: "Please don't believe Pastor Bruce, you are the only son of Duke Wilson, and the knowledge you need is much higher than that of a normal child. Yes, that book is exactly what you should read, you can't take the ridiculous words of Reverend Bruce to lower your expectations, you must always remember that you are an honorable lord."

    Alia's remarks are full of irony, especially about Evan, her overflowing mockery almost overflows.

    But Edward's face gradually turned cold with her words, but Arya didn't see such a change, he continued to say in a big way.

    "Actually, what I want to tell you today is not only that, what I want to tell you is that you should also know that Mr. He had known Pastor Bruce before, and he knew very well how Pastor Bruce was. According to him, Pastor Bruce was not as simple and kind as he appeared. He was actually a very scheming person. The opportunity has seduced Duke Wilson, the Duke has developed feelings for him now, Lord, please stop such a terrible thing from happening, if this thing spreads, I am afraid that the Duke will be ruined!"

    Alia is like an upright warrior, looking at Edward with justice, waiting for the child's reaction in her heart, or turning pale with fright and throwing herself into her arms to seek Consoled, or angry, Bruce was immediately kicked out of Cornwall Manor.

    No matter what the result is, Arya's heart is very happy.

    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.

    "This is what you want to say to me?" His tone was very cold, with a childish voice, looking a little weird.

    Alia looked at Edward and couldn't help shivering. She had never seen such an Edward. Edward was always a weak and innocent child in her heart.

    "I... I'm telling the truth." Arya's tone trembled slightly, and she suddenly found that things were not as simple as she thought.

    "Humph! The truth?" Edward suddenly stood up from the chair, his short figure 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 what you said Despicable and shameless, what did he do?" Edward's eyes glowed with a dark light, looking very dangerous.

    Alia looked at the child in disbelief, this was not the innocent child she knew before, she suddenly realized at this time that the child in front of her was a Lord, is a nobleman.

    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 hint about Bruce's personality, she had no evidence at all Any thinking, subconsciously takes this matter as a fact, and at the same time prays for the approval of others.

    Edward frowned, his tone was very cold: "Miss Arya, you should call me Lord Lord, your behavior makes me very despised, the friendship between you and me, also Stop here!"

    When Arya heard this, she suddenly felt a sense of despair. Now, even Edward rejected her, which made her have no way out.

    "Edward, no, my lord, listen to me, although I can't produce any evidence for the character of Reverend Bruce, but between him and Duke Wilson, I did not lie , now that the duke has been attracted to him, 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 before? And Evan? Of course because I wanted 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, forever With me by my side, it couldn't be better."

    His expression is very cold, but his tone is very soft, in such a situation, it looks very strange.

    Alia was completely frightened 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 It is true that things cannot be spread, and if I hear any news spread, then I will think that you did it, and when that happens, what you need to pay is beyond my control."

    Alia looked straight into Edward's eyes, a strange thought suddenly appeared in her heart, the child in front of him, he really doesn't look like a six-year-old child, he is simply a devil , a demon crawling out of hell!
