Eagle's Glory

"So, you seem to have grown up, but you are actually just a child..." Her Royal Highness impatiently raised her hand and pinched his ear, "Has she acted out of line with you recently? Have you ever seduced you?"

"No... I didn't feel it." Eggron shook his head hastily. "She's pretty disciplined."

"That's good, she still knows a little bit." Princess Sophie nodded. "Seeing how well she takes care of you, let's do this first. If she does anything out of line to you, tell me, and I will let her receive the education she deserves. "

"What education...?" Aigron couldn't help asking.

"Well, I don't need you to ask me~" The princess smiled, "She is one of the maids I brought from Bavaria, no one in Bavaria will remember her, and no one in Austria will care about her existence, I think She can do whatever she wants."

When referring to Chanel, Her Royal Highness's tone was flat and slightly contemptuous, as if she was discussing another creature.

Although she treated him very kindly and almost responded to every request, the princess was a princess after all, and it was impossible for her to think advanced enough to treat everyone as an equal.In her eyes, Chanel is only part of the dowry she brought from the Kingdom of Bavaria to the Austrian Empire after all, and she can dispose of it at will.

Thinking of this, Aigron felt a little sad.

"Hey, what do you think of me as? The Bloody Queen?" Seeing his complicated expression, Princess Sophie couldn't help but glared at him again, "If she really dares to mess around, I won't let others She sank to the bottom of the Danube, at most she would be reprimanded and fired, and let her die on her own..."

Her words were short and plain, but Eggron heard a flash of inspiration, and he remembered the words.

As they talked here, Chanel re-entered, holding a tray with two cups of coffee on it.

Steaming coffee was placed on the table, and the two of them sat on the sofa and chatted while watching the scenery outside the window. They also drank coffee and spent some time in the afternoon comfortably. Princess Sophie didn't get up until the evening leave.

After she left, Chanel bent down to clean up the table, but Aigron stopped her.

"Chanel, just now Her Royal Highness became suspicious of you."

Chanel was startled, but not surprised.

"It seems so... No wonder she treated me that way just now."

"However, her suspicion is not about our plan, but..." Aigron said that he was a little embarrassed, "She suspects that you want to seduce me for profit."

"Ah! Ah?" Chanel suddenly exclaimed, and after a while she blushed again, "Your Highness...the princess...she..."

"It's all right now, but you have to pay attention in the future. If Her Royal Highness becomes suspicious, maybe others will become suspicious in the future." Aigron interrupted her, "I'm asking you a very important question, be honest Answer me—does she know your life experience?"

"I don't know." Chanel shook her head, "In order to prevent us from being bullied and discriminated against, His Royal Highness Eugene would help hide our identities when he adopted us, and later when he was sent to be the maid of His Royal Highness, no one cared. Where did my ancestors come from..."

"That's good..." Eggron breathed a sigh of relief, and then changed the subject. "You seem to be afraid of her?"

"It's better to say that you don't have to be afraid of her..." Chanel replied with a wry smile, "She is just so kind to you, she is different from us... she has always been strict."

"Ah?" Eggron was very surprised, but he didn't realize that Her Highness the Princess actually looked like this in the eyes of others.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying bad things about her, she just treats people strictly, she doesn't deliberately bully others, and rewards us quite generously." Chanel whispered, "Besides, people like me usually There is no chance to offend His Highness..."

Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something again, and continued, "Not only to those of us who came with her, but also to other people in the palace, she is also unceremonious, even though she has only been here for more than two years , but the female officials in the palace have been silent in front of her, even her husband has been punished to be submissive, no one dares to speak more, almost no one in the palace dares to go against her will Those who do this will be severely punished immediately. Therefore, those who secretly hold grudges are rumored to say..."

"What do the rumors say?" Aigron asked.

"She said she treats you differently because she likes beautiful boys, just like the lady in "Don Juan"." Chanel blushed in embarrassment, "I haven't seen that thing so I don't know, but I don't think it should be a nice word..."

In this year, although the great British poet Byron died in 1824, his long poem "Don Juan" has already become popular in the mainland. The woman Donna Julia had an affair, causing an uproar in the local high society.For the safety of her son, Don Juan's mother had to send him to travel in Europe, and the story of Don Juan began.

With this allusion, needless to say, you can understand what the intention is.

However, in the court, similar gossip and gossip will always be indispensable, and you can't stop it if you want to.

"Then you... what do you think?" Eggron suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and then asked.

"Of course we won't take this kind of rumors seriously." Chanel shook her head first, but quickly lowered her head again, "However...seeing the usual interactions between Her Royal Highness and you, to be honest, I'm also a little I believe that your relationship is extraordinary..."

puff hahaha

Aegron couldn't help laughing.

Yes, the others are not all blind. The two people usually have such a close attitude, but Her Royal Highness still treats her with a very contrasting attitude. It would be strange if there was no gossip.

"Then... does Her Royal Highness know?"

"No one dares to ask this, but I think...she should know, she knows all the troubles in the palace." Chanel thought for a while, and then replied.

So... Even so, she didn't care, she still interacted with me nonchalantly, cared for me lovingly, and never showed any negative emotions in front of her.

Aegron nodded slightly. "Okay, I see, thank you."　　

19. Enlightenment and decision

"Okay, I see, thank you."

Aigron's seemingly flat reaction was quite different in Chanel's eyes.

Although the time spent with the monarch she is loyal to is still very short, but as a maid, she has also practiced the ability to observe words and emotions since she was a child, so she already has a little understanding of His Majesty.

Perhaps because of long-term depression, he treats people a little indifferently, and his words are very harsh, and sometimes even a little cruel, but he never loses his temper, and he doesn't have the problem that nobles often take people down to vent, even if he is angry in his heart, he is happy and angry Unassuming and very polite to himself and others.

But now, he should be very angry - because His Majesty really cares about the relationship with His Highness Sophie.

That's right, in the huge court, only Her Royal Highness has always taken care of him, so it would be strange if he was not grateful.

Now she wants to comfort her, but she doesn't know how to comfort her. At the same time, Aigron has strictly prohibited her from interfering in her own affairs before, so even if she is anxious now, she dare not speak anymore, and can only stand silently beside the boy. Next to him, comfort him in this way.

"Chanel, I want to ask you a question." After a long time, Aigron suddenly asked, "Can you answer me from a girl's standpoint?"

"Please go ahead and ask." Chanel nodded immediately.

"I admit that I approach Her Royal Highness with some utilitarian purposes. She is the most important reliance on my escape plan, and it is also the price I have to pay to escape." Egron lowered his eyes a little dejectedly, "But , While being utilitarian, I also like her very much. I hate myself for doing this, and I have a kind of guilt towards her. After I just learned about these things from you, my guilt is even deeper... Yes, if a person To be treated so kindly by others but not feel at all, isn't that heartless?"

Chanel didn't answer, and waited for Aigron to finish speaking. In the silent room, Aigron seemed to be talking to himself alone.

"But even if I apologize, the plan still has to go on, and it must go on. But it is conceivable that if I really escape, she will be blamed. In this case, will she hate me very much?"

"I should hate you a little bit." After thinking about it, Chanel replied in a low voice.

"That's right... I'm so ridiculous, I still take chances." Aigron smiled wryly, "Being deceived by others, everyone will be furious, right? Well, I will accept the price..."

"No, Your Highness, that's not what I meant." Chanel shook her head.

"what?"

"I have served His Highness for several years, and I still know a little about His Highness. I think that instead of hating you for cheating her, she will hate you for running away from her..." Chanel said I thought in my heart, "His Royal Highness loves you so much, he must be very reluctant to leave you. After all, after leaving, I don't know when we will see you again. When I think of this place, I will definitely hate you..."

Chanel's words made Aigron seem a little confused.

But it seems quite convincing.

"Then do you think I deserve her to treat me like this?" Aigron asked again.

"Of course it's worth it!" Chanel replied without thinking. "First of all, you are personable and cute, otherwise it is useless to say anything. Besides, you are loved not only because of your status, but because you are not willing to be mediocre... You have that kind of One day we must establish some career ambitions, this kind of ambition and arrogance, of course, will be favored by His Highness, everyone wants to admire heroes, right?"

When she said this, her face was slightly red.

"Your Highness hates mediocre people. No matter how noble a person is, if he is mediocre and has no ambitions, how can he be liked? You see, she doesn't look down on His Royal Highness at all. She doesn't even look down on the emperor. Your Majesty doesn't even care about it! Sometimes women are very contradictory, and they want their sweetheart to stay by their side all the time, but if they keep shrinking by their side, she will look down on her."

Aigron looked at Chanel in surprise, he did not expect Chanel to be able to say such insightful words.

And it seems to make sense.

He thought about Chanel's words carefully, and finally stood up from the sofa.

"You're right, I'm not just a person... I'm also burdened with too many people's expectations. My name and my situation will never allow me to die of old age in this place as a mediocre pet, Your Highness definitely expects more from me than this." He looked at the moonlight outside the window, and then said with a little excitement, "There is no doubt that if I run away, she will hate me, but at least I will have this hatred in the future." Opportunity compensates, and I will definitely compensate; but if I just stay here and live up to everyone's expectations, then what am I? I'm just a ridiculous little reptile, what reason is there to be loved?"

He raised his hand and pointed to the luxurious furniture and decorations in the room, "The young eagle must grow up and then fly high. If it's just kept in this ghost place, what's the point of being surrounded by gold and jade?"

"Your Highness, you are so right!" Chanel nodded emphatically, "Even if Your Highness Princess will be annoyed for a while, she will be happy for you in the end."

"That's right." Aigron paced the room quickly, his eyes flickering, his ambition high. "Right, that is it."

Chanel's enlightenment made the little guilt and confusion in his heart disappear, and he devoted himself to his plan with full energy.

He knew that Chanel's remarks were based on her position.

Because she was afraid that she would give up, she would deliberately pick up the words that could inspire her, but it didn't matter, everyone had their own purpose in life, and it was enough that what she said was inspiring and reasonable to her.

"Chanel, next I will find an opportunity to go to Vienna regularly with Her Royal Highness, go to the theater to watch a play, and I will find a way to take you there. I will definitely be watched and can't go anywhere, and you will be much more relaxed , when the time comes, you will be responsible for helping me communicate with the outside world." He stopped and explained the situation. "But you must also be careful, and don't communicate with people easily..."

"Okay, I understand." Chanel immediately nodded and obeyed, and then asked, "Then...will someone connect with me?"

"We can only resign ourselves to this. If not, then we can only wait." Aigron shook his head.

"Is that so..." Chanel was slightly disappointed.

Obviously, Chanel does not know the location of other supporters of the Bonaparte family, nor does he have any contact information, and he cannot even take the initiative to find them. This is indeed a huge shortcoming.They could only wait quietly until Bonaparte supporters took the initiative to contact them.

But it doesn't matter, he has been waiting for so many years, and he doesn't care about waiting a little longer.

"Don't be discouraged, Chanel, I have other ways besides being completely passive." Aigron said suddenly.

"Your Highness?" Chanel rekindled her hope.

"I told the princess that I want to write scripts and try to be a playwright. Although this is just an excuse to get her to agree to my request, I am not purely joking. I am going to write some scripts seriously, and then pay for it. Go to the theater to perform." Aigron turned his head to look at Chanel. "And you're in charge of getting in touch with the actors."

"You... Do you want to use this hobby to pass the time?" Chanel asked in surprise.

"No, of course not." Aigron shook his head with a smile, "I want to add some secrets of the Bonaparte family in a modified form in the script, which only the family knows. In a city like Vienna, information dissemination The speed is very fast, and there is no shortage of audiences in the theater, and as the show goes on, eventually someone will find the theater where it came from ... and then we have hope."

"Is that so?!" Chanel was surprised at first, then ecstatic. "Very good……"

Then she became suspicious again, "However, Your Highness, weren't you only four years old when you came to Austria? How do you know any family secrets?"

This question hit the nail on the head, almost making Aegron unable to maintain his expression.

I can't tell her that this is what I saw in the various biographies and historians' works of later generations, right?

"I read it from some of my father's letters and manuscripts that I kept around." After a while, he answered casually.

This answer was a bit far-fetched, but Chanel quickly believed it.

On the one hand, she has to believe it, and on the other hand, she has seen Aigron take out such a valuable royal pocket watch from the desk and give it to herself—if such a valuable thing can be kept secretly, then leave some letters And the manuscript is also very simple, right?

"But in this case, when will it be successful? What if it has been ignored and missed?" Chanel asked again with some worry.

"That depends on the brains and luck of my supporters. Sometimes after we have done everything we can, we can only resign ourselves to our fate and wait for God to give us a good luck." Aigron shrugged, "Shanai Well, although there is no basis for saying this, I firmly believe that I will be favored by God, and if I don’t have a little bit of luck, I can’t be me. And I must succeed, I am nothing but success!”

Chanel looked at the boy in front of him with reverence.

He turned his back to the window and looked at himself with piercing eyes. The moonlight seemed to cast a layer of light on him. At this moment, his words seemed unquestionable.

Yes, this is the person I need to pledge allegiance to, and this is the person worthy of my life and death!

"Your Majesty, you are right, we will succeed!" She bowed deeply and saluted.

Aigron looked at the maid, and then looked back at the deep and indifferent night sky.

Yes, the plan has already started, so there is no reason to hesitate or regret it.The dice have been rolled, let God decide who is right and who is wrong.

I must win.Only when you win can you make up for everything you have lost; only if you win can your actions be reasonable and reasonable; only if you win can you have the opportunity to live up to the expectations placed by others.

So, go ahead and win.The boy clenched his fists.

=============================

The signing was successful... Thank you book friends for your immediate rewards, thank you!　　

20, mother

That night, Eggron slept extremely soundly.

The conversation with Chanel gave him spiritual encouragement, and the haze in his heart was swept away.So when he wakes up in the morning, he feels energetic.

Under the service of Chanel, he finished his breakfast, and at this time, his guardian Count Dietrichstein walked in front of him, and then bowed to salute.

"Your Highness, I am truly delighted to see you so refreshed."

"Thank you for your concern." Aigron nodded politely.

"Considering that your physical recovery is very good, I think that your interrupted studies should be able to continue. What do you think?" the count asked again.

"Well, that's it." Aigron nodded and agreed with the other party.

Recently, because he is in the recuperation stage, all physical education has been suspended. After the earl's evaluation, his body has basically recovered, so these courses should be restarted.

"Okay, I'll notify the captain now." The earl smiled gratifiedly, "Of course, I'll let him pay attention to propriety, your body can't make any mistakes."

Soon, Aigron came to the side of the Arc de Triomphe, the commanding height of Schönbrunn Palace, as usual, and at this time his swordsmanship and military teacher, Captain Foresty, was already waiting there.

As soon as he saw Aigron, the captain put his right hand on his chest with military etiquette, "It's a pleasure to see you here again, Your Highness."

"Nice to meet you, Captain." Aigron also nodded to pay tribute to the other party. "I have been really depressed during this time. I can't help but feel excited when I think that I can learn swordsmanship with you again."

Under Aigron's compliment, the captain couldn't help showing a smile on his serious face.

"It is also my honor to have a hard-working student like you."

The captain's words were not purely flattering, because most of the children of Guijie he met before were not able to suffer because they were pampered, and at the same time, because of their superior status, they often refused to obey discipline, and he had nothing to do with them; but this great man His son was different, he never put on airs in front of him, and he worked hard when he was teaching swordsmanship, and those who suffered a lot almost never complained, which is really rare.

It's a pity... His fate is really bad, the captain couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
