Eagle's Glory

"This is my truth." Aigron still looked at the other party without flinching. "Of course the same words will feel different when different people say them?"

Under the gaze of the young man, Princess Sophie's heart beat faster for no reason.

"Don't say such stupid things, I'm already married..." In order to hide the panic in her heart, she quickly replied, "You shouldn't talk like this."

"So I can't get married anymore, can't I?" Aigron took another step closer to her, "I don't need a person who makes trouble for me, and having a prince in it is already disgusting!"

"Shut up!" Princess Sophie snapped, and finally made the boy stop.

The two looked at each other for a moment, then she looked away.

"I can pretend that I didn't hear what you said just now...don't say it again, okay?"

Aigron didn't answer, but turned away resentfully, looking into the distance.

Seeing his silence, Princess Sophie suddenly regretted it, for fear that her stern attitude would make him sad.

"Aigron, don't be angry... I'm just... just..." She said again and again, but she didn't know how to say it, "I just want you to have a better time...so let's stop arguing, shall we? I was a little too much just now, don't take it to heart, let's change the subject."

Emotions are always revealed from the most subtle details, and this small concession seems to contain too much meaning.

Scolding and begging, which one is the real meaning?

"Then, can you draw me a portrait of you?" Aigron turned his head again and looked at Princess Sophie sadly. "I want to treasure it forever. Can you agree to this trivial request?"

"Okay, of course." Princess Sophie nodded immediately, and then picked up the brush again. "Then you also smile, don't frown."

Aigron showed an elegant smile after being strictly trained, and looked at Her Royal Highness.　　

17. Interest and shame

Seeing Aigron's soft smile, Princess Sophie's heart finally fell.

As soon as she uttered the stern words just now, she felt regretful in her heart, for fear of hurting the young man's heart, but fortunately, it was finally redeemed - although the young man put forward a condition, as long as everyone is happy, such a trivial matter What is unacceptable?

In addition, she wasn't really angry deep down in her heart. The fiery emotions shown by the young man not only scared her, but also made her a little excited, and even made her heart beat a little warmer.

After all, who would be unhappy to be so admired by such a handsome and lovely child?

Eggron just lacked friends since he was a child, so he longed for family affection, and then mistakenly thought that his admiration for me was nothing more than love... As long as he has a wife and his own family in the future, and recalls his words and deeds at this time, I am afraid that he will feel ashamed Bar.

After all, the Austrians had treated him too badly, Sophie thought.

After thinking of this, Sophie couldn't help but cast a loving glance at the young man, and the little dispute between the two disappeared.

Then, quietly, she fiddled with the palette again, mixing colors with paint.Aigron wanted a portrait of herself, so this was a double test—testing both her painting skills and her appearance. On this issue, her self-esteem would not allow herself to make any mistakes.

"Aigron, what image do you want me to draw?" She asked Aigron casually. "If there is no request, I can play freely."

"You are always beautiful, but I think you are the best at this moment." Aigron replied in a low voice.

……

"Okay, then do as you said." After a moment of silence, Princess Sophie nodded slightly.

The two walked to the fountain, quietly watching the reflection in the pool amidst the soft sound of the trickling water, and then Princess Sophie set up the easel again and began to paint.

Egron also stood quietly beside Her Royal Highness this time, watching her paint stroke by stroke, gradually blurred outlines appeared on the canvas, and then with the continuous movement of the brush, the colors became more and more vivid. The scenes in the painting became more and more clear.

After an unknown amount of time, the image of a young woman in a royal blue dress standing by the fountain appeared in the painting.

Princess Sophie put down the brush, looked at the painting carefully, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

"Aigron, the painting is finished, what do you think?" Then, she turned her head to look at Aigron and asked expectantly.

There is always only one answer to this question.

"It's really beautiful." Aigron looked at it carefully, bent down, and looked at Princess Sophie gratefully, "I will definitely treasure it, Your Highness...it's really beautiful, whether it's a painting or a person .”

In all fairness, it's really pretty.

"You really don't look like a child now!" Princess Sophie squinted at him, seeming a little angry, "Who taught you this?"

"We've been together for so long, don't you know me? I won't lie against my will to please others." Eggron replied with a smile. "So if I say yes, don't worry, it's really, really good,"

"Okay, then I'll just believe it this time..." Princess Sophie nodded slightly.

There was no words between the two of them again, and they looked at the painting that had just been completed together.They listened quietly to the sound of the wind and running water, as if they were the only two left in the huge palace.

"Your Highness, I have a new hobby recently." After a long silence, Aigron said suddenly.

"What hobby?" Princess Sophie asked curiously.

"I am obsessed with watching drama scripts, such as Shakespeare and Molière... I suddenly had a strange idea a few days ago." Aigron looked at Her Royal Highness, and then replied leisurely, "I think I can also Try writing a script, I have some scene ideas in my mind now, I think I can try."

"Really?" Princess Sophie became interested immediately, "Then you should work hard, I really want to see it!"

"Now my skills and writing are immature, and those fragmented ideas don't have any coherence at all. I don't dare to make a fool of myself and make you laugh." Aigron lowered his head in shame, "But I really I want to work hard in this direction, so... I would like to ask you to take me to the theater in Vienna if you have the opportunity, so that I should be able to learn something important."

"What?" As Aigron expected, Princess Sophie was very surprised to hear this request. "You want to go to the theater?"

"To be precise, I will be accompanied by you." Aigron lowered his head a little ashamedly, "If this request makes you feel embarrassed, then...then just pretend that I didn't say it, I was just a sudden Just a whimsy."

Princess Sophie was silent.

Logically speaking, Aigron's request was a little difficult to handle, but his clear and longing eyes made her find it difficult to refuse, not to mention that the two had a dispute just now, and she really didn't want to cause any unpleasantness.

And... going to the theater with Eggron, it should be a little fun, too?

"If this is your hobby... I will support you." After a while, she nodded lightly, "Let me tell the prince and His Majesty the Emperor, you are injured and always bored in the palace It’s really too boring.”

"But...if they don't agree..." Aigron hesitated again.

"If they don't agree, I'll find a way to get them to agree until I settle this matter." Her Royal Highness replied without thinking, "When we were having dinner, I mentioned that you love paper and pen more than pen and paper." Swords and guns are a good thing, and His Majesty the Emperor also thinks so, if this is the case, it is also a good thing for you to develop interest in this area... I think His Majesty should have no reason not to agree."

"Great!" Aigron raised his head in surprise, "Then I'll leave it to you."

"Don't be happy so early, I have conditions." Princess Sophie shook her head, "First, you and I have special identities, we must not go to the theater in our original identities, we can only act in a low-key manner; second, you come Just stay in the box all the time, don’t have too much contact with the outside world, let me and the guards who followed me deal with anything... Aigron, I’m sorry, I don’t want to restrict you like this, but if there are no such conditions, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the old man to agree."

Exactly what I want.

"It doesn't matter, no matter what the result is, I will never complain to you, you have helped me enough... I am really very, very grateful to you." Aigron quickly expressed his heart, "Your Highness... I really I can't express my gratitude to you in words, if I can do something to make you happy, please just ask me!"

"I don't ask for anything from you, as long as you don't get angry with me again and be obedient..." Princess Sophie blinked her left eye playfully, "Aigron, can you do it?"

"As you wish." Aigron stopped his waist.

He spoke very sincerely, but at the same time, he also felt a little guilty in his heart.

His so-called "being interested in writing scripts" is of course just an excuse. The ultimate goal is to use Princess Sophie to get an opportunity to go out of the palace to Vienna on a regular basis-although this opportunity is currently useless, and by the end of the Sometimes he will definitely be under strict surveillance, but at least it will allow him to have further contact with the outside world.

As long as there is contact, opportunities will definitely be created. Before that, he doesn't need to be impatient, everything can be done slowly, anyway, he still has plenty of time.

However, doing so also meant that he took advantage of Princess Sophie's love and accommodation for him. Since coming to this world, he has only felt this kind of love and accommodation from her so far.

He hated seeing himself do it, but even though he didn't want to, he had to.This is an important step in his entire plan. If contact with the outside world cannot be established, then the so-called escape plan is doomed to be nothing more than a daydream.

And this crucial step was easily agreed by Her Royal Highness—she agreed purely to make herself happy.

I'm sorry... Your Highness.

If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely compensate you and do my best.He swore secretly in his heart.

"Okay, let's go back and help me move it away." After a long time, Princess Sophie suggested.

The drying speed of the oil painting is very slow. It is impossible for Aigron to store it today, so he helped the princess put away the easel, and then walked back to the palace with the painting on the easel.

Along the way, Sophie found that Aigron was silent and seemed thoughtful.

"Aigron, what are you thinking?" So she asked.

"Actually, I'm thinking about a very strange question." Aigron smiled, hiding his uneasiness and shame.

"What's the problem?"

"If Weifu is in the past, then surely we can't use our current name?" Aigron looked at each other with a smile, "So how about we pretend to be siblings? I am my younger brother Franz, and you are my older sister Sophia. The two of us If you go out and say they are siblings, no one will believe it, right?"

Princess Sophie stopped suddenly, she blushed slightly, but it should be excited rather than shy.It seemed that she too was intrigued.

"It sounds interesting." She nodded after a while, "So... what should we call our surnames?"

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Aegron asked back.

"Hmm..." Her Royal Highness narrowed her eyes slightly, and then she seemed to have an idea, "What do you think of Memmingen? This is a small city in Bavaria. I went there when I was young. The scenery is very beautiful. , left me with very good memories.”

"Then let's do this!" Aigron nodded excitedly, "We will definitely have better memories!"

At this moment, he decided that in the future, when it was inconvenient to use his real name, he would always use Franz Memmingen as his pseudonym.

Some things are memorable.　　

18, gossip

“We’re sure to have better memories too!”

Seeing Eggron so excited, Princess Sophie couldn't help but smile.

"Are you happy like this? Now you're like a child again... Well, it's settled like this. After we get there, we will be Sophia Memmingen and Franz Memmingen, you can give me Remember it, lest you make a mistake and embarrass me!"

"Well, I remember." Aigron bent over excitedly, "At that time, you will be my own sister, and I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I will not recognize anyone except you!"

"It's not serious again!" Princess Sophie glared at him. "I really don't know who you learned to be so glib. Is this the national talent of the French?"

"Even if I have this national talent, I will only say it to those who love me." Aigron replied solemnly. "Your Highness, I am willing to do things to please you because you have always treated me so kindly. I say this from the bottom of my heart. I only hate that I didn't speak well enough to make you happy."

"Oh, I really can't help you." Seeing that she couldn't win the young man, Princess Sophie could only shrug her shoulders and gave up the idea of ​​correcting him.

However, she scolded, but what woman doesn't like to hear such sweet talk?Especially people who I already have a deep affection for speak out.

In this way, the two returned to Aigron's residence while chatting and laughing. He was going to move the easel back to his room.

As soon as the door was opened, the maid Chanel rushed to the door.

"Your Highness!"

Seeing that he was moving things, Chanel hurriedly greeted him, reaching out to take the easel and drawing board.

"It's okay, let me do it myself." Aigron shook his head, "The oil painting is not dry yet, it would be a pity if it is accidentally damaged."

"Understood." Chanel obeyed the order and withdrew her hand, but she was always worried and kept watching Aigron.

"Chanel, my body has recovered very well, such a little physical activity is not a hindrance at all." Aigron said with a smile, "You should help me tidy up the place, I will hang the drawing board."

"Okay!" Chanel nodded, then quickly cleaned up the corner of the wall, took down the hanging oil paintings and decorations, and then helped Egron place the easel and drawing board there.

Princess Sophie has been watching, until they packed up, she spoke to Chanel.

"Chanel, it seems that you take good care of His Highness."

Chanel stopped, looked at Her Royal Highness respectfully and replied, "Because of your order, I must take care of Your Highness with all my heart."

"Is it just because of my order?" The princess smiled slightly, "I see that you seem to be very happy, much happier than when you were by my side."

"..." Chanel paused for a moment, a little surprised and flustered, not knowing how to answer.

"Don't panic, I'm just praising you. Your Highness is able to recover so quickly. You are indeed credited. I will reward you in the future - thank you for fulfilling your duties as a maid." Her Royal Highness continued to look at her with a smile , "Go and get some drinks for me and His Highness, we have just stood outside for a long time, and we are all a little thirsty."

"Yes." Chanel hurriedly left the room as if she had been pardoned.

After Chanel left for a short while, Princess Sophie turned to look at Aigron with some teasing in her eyes.

"Your Highness, why did you say this to her just now?" Of course Aigron knew that the other party had deliberately called Chanel away just now, so he was a little puzzled.

"There's something wrong with the way she looks at you." Princess Sophie replied.

For a moment, the horror made Aigron almost lose his composure, and even his breathing almost stopped.

What did Princess Sophie discover just now?Did something go wrong in your plan before it really started?

"You...what do you mean?" He forced himself to maintain his composure, and then asked.

"Didn't you notice the way she looked at you?" Princess Sophie asked back, "That look is not the feeling that an ordinary servant should have for the master. I can detect it just by intuition. She has abnormal feelings towards you." Strong feelings——so, Eggron, you really have it, and you have been able to do this in just a dozen days..."

Her Royal Highness's tone was a bit strange, but Egron had difficulty feeling it for a while, instead he was worried about a more important question-how much did Her Highness notice?

"Is that really the case?" He sneered, as if he didn't quite believe it, "Then why did she do that?"

"Although she is a maid, she is a young girl after all, and she is probably still dreaming of a prince." Princess Sophie replied with a smile, "This kind of thing is actually quite common outside. If something happens, and then use it to turn around and decide, at worst, you can get a large sum of money as a reward and hush money... You just think it's strange because you have too little experience..."

Ah...false alarm.Aegron secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that although Her Royal Highness noticed that Chanel's attitude was a bit strange, she didn't think about the dangerous place, but instead thought about the most common situation in the world.

That's fine...

Although he was relieved in his heart, he didn't show it on the surface. Instead, he seemed a little confused and embarrassed.

"Then what should I do?"
