The Sin of Ludwigs

Chapter 33 Letters to New Jersey

"To His Royal Highness The Duke John W Lane:

Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig Francaimon Edmund of the Third Georgia Mercenary Regiment under your command is temporarily living in the Frigu Manor due to a coincidence.According to his statement, this person was born in the Duchy of Württemberg, had the status of a viscount, was a nobleman of undisputed blood and had a very close relationship with Grand Duke Karl Eugen of Württemberg.Due to the misfortune of being hijacked by criminals, his appointment was not actually appointed by his king. He was deeply terrified of this, and decided to return to Europa at all costs to ask for forgiveness from the king.

The Higgs family deeply sympathizes with the misfortune of a nobleman of status, the crimes of outlaws who despise authority are heinous, and sending a noble blue blood into a regiment full of inferiors is indeed A heart-rending indecency.In order to maintain the noble glory, with your consent, the Haigs family will purchase a ferry ticket to Europa for Viscount Ludwig Françaimon Edmund according to his status, and this matter is hereby Ask for your instructions carefully.

Looking forward to your reply.

Your faithful friend, Elvis William Higgs"

The letter that Earl Elvis wrote to the Governor of the colony, Duke Lane, was very short but polite. He did not start with a large piece of flattery like the general correspondence between nobles - for nobles, a letter means a lot. It is very normal that only the last few sentences of the article are serious things or even no serious things. After all, this is a good representation of their noble status that they don’t need to worry about anything. Only the inferior people need to worry about their livelihood all the time. ; but he didn't spare his words as much as he usually did—it would also be an offense to the nobles who received the letter, and would make the recipient think that the writer treated him as a servant and was quite unhappy.

The wording of the letter also subtly reflected the attitude of the two-earl Higgs family to the colonial governor who exercised power on behalf of the British king in New Jersey.Translated, it is not so much asking about the Duke of Lane's treatment of me, it is better to say that the Higgs family has already made a decision to send me back to Europa, and it is only informed in terms of etiquette and procedures that it is currently possible to decide whether I will stay or not. In the letter, Earl Elvis did not ask the Duke whether he would let me return to the mercenary regiment to perform the duties of the so-called "Lieutenant Colonel". He even directly gave this possibility an "unseemly" In conclusion, anyone familiar with the way nobles speak among themselves knows what that means.

He even gave me the chance to write to Duke Lane myself.

"If you think it is necessary, you can also add your own statement and send it along."

I don't have any family tokens that can prove my identity now, and Elvis's approach is undoubtedly to guarantee me with the badge of the Haggis family.To be honest, it was beyond my expectation that Earl Elvis would do this for me. He did not hide my origin in his letter, as long as there is a little bit of information about the source of the mercenary soldiers sent by Württemberg. Everyone who heard it could understand what the euphemistic "encountering an outlaw" meant, which made me feel ashamed of my villainous heart before.

But it was at this time that I suddenly had another idea.

"Or there is another better way, my lord, why don't you allow me to be my own postman - please allow me to carry your letters to New Jersey, I believe that with your name, the Duke of Lane will certainly grant me Please, so I can take a boat back to Europa directly from New Jersey."

The more I talk about it, the more I think this method is feasible.

"In this way, the time for the messenger to go back and forth is saved, and I don't need to trouble you anymore, and I can return to my hometown earlier--My lord, please forgive a wanderer for missing my hometown. I miss my hometown all the time." My hometown and my poor mother, I have not heard from me for so long, the poor sentimental man must have thought that something happened to me, and shed tears all day long."

Although I can't even imagine what it would be like for Viscountess Edmund to wash her face with tears—as a qualified noble lady, tears are also part of their weapons, and pear blossoms with rain are just the horn of attack. It's unimaginable to wear makeup—but in order to return to Ludwigsburg as soon as possible, and to escape the perverse relationship between me and Count Elvis, I still tried to seduce Evie with the lady as a breakthrough. The compassion of Earl Elvis.

As it turned out - it didn't work.

"The letterhead is on the table, you can write it now."

The earl said as if he didn't hear my proposal at all.

"grown ups……"

After meeting the blue eyes of Earl Elvis, the courage I finally mustered up melted away like ice cream on a hot summer day—what a strange thing!Even though they have the same blue eyes, why do I always feel that he is more intimidating to me than Earl Ian who whipped me?

After the earl gave up the seat in front of the desk, I had to pick up the quill pen slowly, while comforting myself to stay in Frigue Manor so as not to have any accidents when I went to New Jersey——The Higgs Family The relationship with New Jersey is so delicate, if the Duke of Lane wants to keep me in the colony to "work" for him, I will really want to cry without tears! ——While thinking hard about how to explain my own origin clearly under the premise of complying with the communication rules between the lower nobles and the upper nobles.This is a very difficult job, which means that 90.00% of my language must be used for compliments and flattery, and the remaining [-]% can be used to describe my bizarre experience that may be considered a liar. too long.Elvis can ignore this because he is Lord Haggs, and I am not!

"To His Royal Highness The Duke of John W. Lane:"

I can't write any more after the first line, where do I start?From Helena?No, no, writing the matter between Helena and me will only make the whole thing more complicated, so let's start with me being taken away by robbers?According to the Earl, it was my unfortunate encounter with robbers that led to my situation today, and Captain Brand, who once took care of me, can serve as a witness. If the Duke has seen Captain Brand, he can ask him for proof...

While I was thinking hard, Earl Elvis came over suddenly and took the quill away from my hand. This sudden action startled me a lot.

"Don't bite the pen."

Only then did I realize that I had been biting the end of the quill subconsciously when I was thinking.

"Ah... yes! Excuse me for being rude!"

Almost immediately, my conditioned reflex when Mr. Shire corrected this habit came out, and I blurted it out almost without thinking.

When I was taught by Mr. Charles, I had this bad habit of biting my pen when I was anxious. For this reason, I was often beaten by Mr. Charles. Later, when Mr. Charles returned to Paris, I also inherited the title. No one is in charge of me anymore, and I don’t usually have the opportunity to pick up a quill except to write love letters to girls. I didn’t expect this habit to appear in front of the count at this time, which made me quite embarrassed.

"Get a new pen."

Earl Elvis didn't say anything, just pointed to me where the new quill was.

While I was writing the letter, the Earl sat down on another chair. Although he had a book to read, his previous behavior made me have to remind myself to behave carefully, which has been a long time ago. The feeling of being controlled by Mr. Shire, which I have never experienced before, made me uncomfortable.In order to get rid of this strange experience as soon as possible, I had to rack my brains to write the letter to Duke Lane as soon as possible.

It took a long time—maybe half an hour, maybe more than an hour—when I finally wrote down the last French word, I looked up and found that the Count had stopped reading and was just sitting there Looking at me calmly, I don't know how long he looked at me.

This immersion in my own affairs, only to suddenly find myself being stared at almost made me scream like a redneck.

The Count tilted his head.

"Is it ready?"

I nodded stiffly, and the earl gestured to the door, and immediately a well-dressed male servant, who was always ready to serve the master's needs, walked in, took the letterhead I just finished writing, and took out I took out a bronzing envelope with the Hagers family crest, put my letterhead and the earl's previous letter to the duke in it, dripped candle wax on the seal and sent it to the earl.

"Don't you need to read what I have written?"

I couldn't help but ask.

Earl Elvis glanced at me, took off the family ring on his hand, and printed the coat of arms representing the Haggis family on the seal.

"that is your freedom."

"You are really not afraid that I will say bad things about Earl Ian in my letter." I couldn't help muttering, let alone, for a moment I really wanted to write about the violent torture that Earl Ian treated me at the Kollak Manor. Into the letter, the feeling of recalling that experience made me quite unpleasant, but in the end my reason stopped me from doing it, and it turned out that Elvis didn't read my letter at all.

Regarding my muttering, the earl's words made me discouraged.

"You do not dare."

I can't refute this conclusion at all, so I can only change the subject depressedly: "How long does it take to send a letter from Frigue Manor to New Jersey at the fastest?"

The young page with the beautiful black eyes smiled at me wryly.

"Ten days at the earliest, sir."

One hour before departure yesterday, I received a call from BOSS saying that I should not come back.

Then throw a lot of things across the network cable

For a while, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry... ORZ
