"Okay, I'm done crying, Your Excellency the Duke, please laugh if you want..."
Charles cried for a while, and when he had cried enough, he stopped, wiped his tears, and sat down next to him with some embarrassment.
In addition to feeling distressed, sad and scared, he was even more sad that he couldn't help.
Although he knew that Xingyan was belligerent, such a serious injury and the fact that he would die at the age of 8 made Ciel feel his own weakness once again.
"I'm telling you this just to tell you that even if you see me dead one day, don't think I'll disappear, because I can't die. The most I can do is move to another place to continue honing my strength..."
Xingyan raised his hand and placed it on Xiaer's hair. He was obviously the one who was taller and smaller, but he just liked to do this.
Running his fingers over the smooth hair, Xingyan was thinking about how he would leave.
The possibility of being killed is not high, so he just said the worst possible scenario.
"Xingyan, I asked Sebastian to kill a few rats today. After investigation, I found that some of the rats were secretly raised by the queen."
After a moment of silence, Xiaer adjusted his mood and talked to Xingyan about their companies.
...
...
In addition to the toy company, he founded many other companies and found people who would not betray him to manage them.
Since his change of mindset and his loyalty to the Duke, Charles has lifted many of the restrictions he placed on Sebastian.
Under the control of the devil, it is really not difficult to get some people who will not betray you.
These unnamed businesses are relatively stable for now, but the toy company and the candy company have been targeted by the rats raised by the queen since two months ago.
Although the loss was not great, the Queen would be angry if some contraband dealers touched her cheese. Charles also felt that it was unacceptable that his cheese was bitten by the Queen's rats.
"Just do it if you want to. When you are still unable to confront her head-on, let Akame do the work when you need him. He has been bored lately and said he wants to eat roasted crow."
Thinking that the Leopard King had not set off fireworks or demolished houses for the Queen for a long time, the Queen began to reach out her hand again, and this development was normal.
He tried with a fluke mentality, he understood what the Queen was planning. If the rats were not cleaned up this time, more rats would be released.
So, clean it up when you find it. If the other party calms down, just follow the plot and watch the fun. If you don’t want it to calm down, you can only let the Leopard King out to move around for a while.
"Actually, Akahime said that he would come to help with dinner and make a roast chicken..."
Charles thought of the Akagi he met in the afternoon. The roast chicken he mentioned at that time was indeed not just a literal meaning.
Roasted crow or something...
Sebastian, you'd better hurry up and get Akagi to divert her attention to the mice. Our house doesn't need to be redecorated for the time being.
"Take your time. You need to be patient when catching mice. Alternatively, catch the mice that the Queen keeps and then tell her that these are the ones that stole her cheese. Remember to bring the evidence with you."
Xingyan thought of a way to play, and he looked at Xiaer with a smile. The smiles of the two young boys gradually became similar.
"Then I'll have to let Akame work hard."
Xiaer had already had this plan before, and now that he had Xingyan's support, he naturally wanted to do a big thing.
As for the rat that really upset the queen, there was no need to deal with it in a hurry. Just leave it for a few more days.
After all, family affairs are always more important than the Queen's affairs!
"It's almost time for dinner. Go back and wash your face. You still have to entertain those guests later. I don't know if they will be able to eat after I leave."
Xing Yan thought of the people who were playing games and chatting in the game room downstairs. He had to show up at the banquet tonight.
Next, Charles will have to "go back and forth" between him and the Queen, so if he doesn't go out and express his attitude, how can Charles better grasp the initiative in this process?
"They will definitely be able to eat tonight, who dares not to eat!"
Charles' smile was pure, but behind this smile, he had already known all kinds of calculations and conspiracies.
"Go ahead."
Letting Charles leave, Xingyan also jumped down from the bed, took off his pajamas, and the scars on his body reappeared.
This time, the wound was repaired quickly from the inside out.
After taking a shower and putting on comfortable trousers and a long shirt, Xingyan opened the door and walked downstairs accompanied by Lucifer.
In the banquet hall, a long table was placed with a variety of delicious food, and it was a buffet-style dinner.
Sebastian, who was standing by, watched Xingyan go downstairs. After bowing, he turned around gorgeously and stood on the stool with a glass of champagne.
Then a champagne tower with a very visual effect was poured with wine, and the aroma of wine filled the air...
"My Lord, would you like a drink?"
Sebastian looked at the stunned crowd, holding a glass of wine on a tray, and turned around to stand next to Xingyan.
His action also attracted everyone's attention.
"Your Majesty the Duke!"
There were people present who knew Xing Yan, such as Madam Hong.
"Sebastian, I think I'm still a child. Drinking is not a good thing, right?"
Xing Yan looked at Madam Hong and the new butler beside her, nodded, then turned and looked at Sebastian.
This guy is really good at making trouble. The champagne tower is indeed very effective, but he would be better off giving himself a glass of juice.
Of course, milk is also fine, he doesn't mind being called a child.
"I'm so sorry, Your Excellency the Duke, please come this way. I have prepared some hot milk for you."
Sebastian placed the wine glass in front of Lucifer, watched Lucifer reach out to take the glass, then led the way with a smile on his face, and took Xingyan to sit on the sofa for rest.
Not only hot milk, but also various snacks that Xingyan likes to eat.
"Oh~ My respected Duke..."
Just when Xingyan had drunk half a glass of milk, a handsome young man with blond hair and wearing a gorgeous white suit opened the door and walked in.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Xing Yan put down the milk in his hand and stopped for a while to appreciate his performance.
Viscount Dorit, now Earl Dorit.
This person was promoted to a knighthood by the Queen half a year ago.
"Lord Dolit, would you like to have a cup of tea first? Lord Uchiha should have just woken up, and what he needs now is to fill his stomach."
Madame Red walked up to Count Dolit, grabbed his shoulder, and dragged him away before he could finish his words.
Count Dolit, Count Phantomhive.
The fact that these two were familiar with the Uchiha Duke, who was the most feared person in the aristocratic circle, and that they often drank tea and played games together had always been a big curiosity in the European aristocratic circle.
