Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 85 - Prince George

Chapter 85 - Prince George

“You don’t know?” Duke Wilson stood up abruptly, “Are you kidding me?!” The Duke looked at Lord Orlam with piercing eyes.
Lord Orlam gave a wry smile, “I wish I was joking, but unfortunately, it’s true.”
Duke Wilson looked at him with a serious expression.
“I really hope you know what you’re doing, Orlam. Since you involved me in this matter, I hope you don’t let me down in this kind of thing.” He looked gloomily at Lord Orlam, “Because I believe you should know that if I am disappointed, no one will be better.”
Orlam saw that Duke Wilson was really angry, and immediately stood up to appease him, “Lord Duke, don’t worry, although I don’t know where Prince George is, he is indeed safe now. We communicate every day. I will never deceive you on this matter, but Prince George is unwilling to reveal his itinerary. I believe you can understand it.”
Duke Wilson sneered, “Understand?” He looked at Orlam with a mocking expression, “George, this little bastard, is so suspicious of everyone that he doesn’t even trust me, his uncle. I’m afraid we won’t get any more benefits.”
Embarrassed, Lord Orlam smiled, “It’s not what you imagined. His Royal Highness just doesn’t want too many people to know his whereabouts, so as to avoid mistakes in the middle.”
Duke Wilson didn’t speak anymore, he pursed his lips tightly and sat down with a gloomy expression. Now it’s useless to say anything. He is now tied to Prince George’s boat, and there is no room for retreat. Now the only thing he can do is wait and hope that Prince George can return safely.
Evan was sitting on the side, and his heart was beating fast at this time. He never thought that Prince George would not even trust Lord Orlam. Now they are really called Tian Tian (no idea what this means), ​​and their fate is completely in the hands of Prince George.
Evan clenched his fist tightly, this feeling of helplessness has become clearer since he came to London. The shackles of luck have completely bound him. In this world dominated by power and status, he can hardly move an inch.
There was an endless stream of rumbling attacks outside, and the screams and wailing of the soldiers were endless. Evan had never experienced war before. Hearing these sounds, he was a little restless. The most painful thing in the world is the inability to change your fate or destiny and Evan felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. Although he knew the results in the book, the process by which this matter came about has changed too much. He was not confident that this matter would develop as he imagined.
While waiting, the time was very long. At this time, Evan finally realized this deeply. From morning until noon, he was about to go crazy. Although the roaring outside had eased, the solemn expressions of the guards coming in to report to Lord Orlam made him unable to stop thinking.
“Lord Orlam!” Evan finally couldn’t bear it anymore. After the last reporting guard walked out, he asked, “How is the situation outside?”
Lord Orlam was taken aback by Evan’s sudden question, paused and then smiled, “Please rest assured, there will be no problem.”
Evan frowned slightly, turned his head and glanced at Duke Wilson, but found that he was sitting beside him with a stern face and there was no response. He was feeling irritable, what the hell are these two people doing!
“I think I need some fresh air.” Evan stood up suddenly and walked towards the window.
“Reverend Bruce!” Lord Orlam said suddenly, “Please don’t go near the window.” He had a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of caution.
Evan waved his hand: “Thank you for your reminder.” He turned around and walked upstairs, he can’t sit in this place all the time now, he needs to calm down.
Watching Evan go upstairs, Lord Orlam withdrew his eyes after a few moments.
“Lord Duke.” He suddenly said to Duke Wilson, who was still looking at the place where Evan’s back disappeared, “I’m afraid Reverend Bruce is a little impetuous.” There was a faint smile on the corners of his lips.
Duke Wilson still didn’t take his gaze back and just frowned slightly, “This is the first time he has encountered such a scene. At his age, he has already done a good job.”
Lord Orlam smiled, “That’s true, the first time I saw someone kill someone, I was so scared that my face turned white.”
Duke Wilson gave Lord Orlam a sideways glance and raised a corner of his lips, as if thinking about something funny, but it still failed in the end.
“What is George’s plan? Although he is an idiot, I don’t think he is so stupid. He goes out and runs around alone, leaving such a big stall for you!” Duke Wilson’s tone left no room for rebuttal.
Lord Orlam let out a wry smile, “Prince George is your nephew and you know his character best, but this time he did not go out alone, he was accompanied by at least half of his guards. Don’t worry, don’t worry. There’s General Stone with him.”
Hearing him say this, Duke Wilson’s face brightened a bit, “He’s not that stupid.” Old Stone was probably the most reliable person in the world.
Lord Orlam knew that he was tough, so he smiled indifferently. Prince George and Duke Wilson had been a little bit incompatible since they were young. Prince George and he were both younger than Duke Wilson, but because of the old king, they were always arranged together. Duke Wilson didn’t like to carry the two of them, so he disliked having them around since he was a child, but Orlam also knew that Duke Wilson didn’t really hate Prince George, but it was like a child’s temper.
Evan didn’t know the movements of the two people downstairs. When he returned to the room, the sound of fighting that had been surrounding him finally subsided and his emotions calmed down a lot.
Prince George is a peaceful but very intelligent young man in the original book. Although his relationship with the duke is not very harmonious, he is better than the Duke of Rand. Even when the duke went crazy and did such a tragic act in the end, Prince George did not blame him but made an appropriate cover up, which gave Evan reason to believe that the alliance between Prince George and Duke Wilson was very strong. But even so, Evan was, at this time, somewhat irritated, because after all, he was in the game at this time, waiting for the shackles of fate, which was really difficult for him to accept.
Evan was lying on the bed, looking at the snow-white ceiling and suddenly the description of Prince George in the book appeared in his mind. But Evan absolutely does not believe that the man who quietly took military power from Duke Wilson after the coup d’état was as simple as he showed.
Evan sighed, although Prince George’s scheming would make him relieved, but in such a situation, he still couldn’t relax completely and the battle outside made all his good ideas vanish.
Just when Evan was most anxious, there was a loud noise from downstairs. Evan suddenly bounced off the bed, opened the door and rushed down. If he heard correctly, the sound was…gunshots.
When Evan rushed out of the room, other people in the other rooms also looked out and saw Evan running down and these people hurriedly put their heads back. At this time, they could only pretend that they could not hear or see, their lives still mattered.
Evan rushed downstairs, only to find that there were only Lord Orlam, Duke Wilson and a shivering soldier standing downstairs, and a pistol was in Lord Orlam’s hand and the originally beautiful carpet had a hole in it and the area around the hole was faintly charred, and the terrible things that Evan had imagined did not happen.
“Lord Orlam?” Evan frowned and looked at Lord Orlam with some doubt.
Lord Orlam had a smile on his face, but it seemed cruel to Evan.
“Reverend Bruce, I’m so sorry to disturb you.” Lord Orlam said in a gentle and polite tone.
Evan was frightened by his somewhat frightening tone and glanced at Duke Wilson, only to find that he also frowned and said nothing.
Evan had a bad guess in his heart.
“You don’t have to apologize.” Evan pursed his lips, “What happened?” He asked tentatively.
Lord Orlam raised his eyebrows and sneered, “You don’t have to worry, everything is under control.” After he said that, he waved his hand and the poor guard immediately stepped back, staggering as he left.
After the guard left, Lord Orlam sat down and the smile on his face disappeared, looking a little gloomy.
“Prince George sent a letter,” he said suddenly.
Evan was shocked when he heard it, and his originally bad thoughts spread more and more.
“F…what happened?” Evan’s lips were dry.
Lord Orlam looked indifferently at the hole he’d made in the ground, “The Duke of Rand has returned to London and Prince George has decided to go to London to control the Duke of Rand and then come to rescue us, so the rescue time will be delayed for a while.”
Lord Orlam’s tone was calm, but Evan almost jumped up. The original time has been very vague for a long time, and it has to be delayed again. What does Prince George want to do?
Evan thought for a moment and started sweating. Now that Prince George has all the military power, he can do whatever he wants and it is not impossible for Lord Orlam and Duke Wilson to die here, after all, no one can change when he returns.
Evan held his slightly trembling fists and looked at Duke Wilson, but Duke Wilson’s expression was still calm, as if he had not been affected in any way. He was also looking at Evan at this time, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
“Evan.” He suddenly said, “Don’t be afraid.”
Evan looked at Duke Wilson dully. At this time, in this kind of scene and this situation, he’s telling him not to be afraid.
Duke Wilson stood up abruptly, “Is that messenger gone?” His tone was very calm.
Lord Orlam squinted at Duke Wilson, with a hint of gloom in his eyes, “What do you want to do?”
Duke Wilson looked at him and raised the corners of his lips sarcastically, “Oh, Orlam, you won’t really be foolish enough to think that I will leave my own destiny in the hands of others?”
“Didn’t you hand over all your military power?” Lord Orlam’s eyes flashed with hope in an instant.
T/N – My goodness! Evan, what happened to your cool attitude, your smart and cunning ideas?
Gimme back my cool Evan! 😭😭
