Eagle's Glory

But even so, the manager of the theater has long been through the world and is used to seeing guests who spend a lot of money.

However, the guest in front of him today was a type he had never seen before.

The two seem to be sisters and brothers, but they are both very young; although the clothes are ordinary, this young woman always has a domineering arrogance, and after she made an offer, she agreed directly without any consideration, just to save time, and her speech and behavior seemed to be Never been bothered by the word "price".

Could it be that a child from a wealthy family ran out to play?He muttered in his heart.

But even so, as long as the other party really pays, he doesn't care.

"Since you said so, please pay, and I will handle it for you right away." The manager replied as calmly as possible.

Princess Sophie made a gesture, and Chanel immediately came over to pay.

Of course, she couldn't carry a large amount of gold and silver coins with her, but handed him a few promissory notes.

In this era, the huge Austrian Empire did not have its own central bank, let alone banknotes in the usual sense, but of course people can also feel the pain of precious metal currency being inconvenient to carry, so they often use it when paying large amounts. A promissory note issued by a banker serves as a means of payment.

The manager checked it carefully with the help of the light, and found that it was a promissory note issued by the most creditable bank in Vienna. He carefully checked the stamp and authenticity, and finally raised his head.

"Okay, miss, the box is yours now, and I'll take you there now."

"Very good." Princess Sophie nodded, "In addition to having a good view, I also want the location to be as quiet as possible. We don't like being disturbed."

It is true that this requirement is a bit contradictory, but since she has paid so much money, then everything she says is right and must be satisfied.

"plz follow me."

The manager led them to the third floor along the stairs on both sides, and then led them to the box a little to the right of the middle.

"This box is very spacious and has an excellent view. You can see almost every detail on the stage... and the box next to it is separated by an aisle. Generally speaking, there will be no people coming and going to disturb your elegant mood." The manager said respectfully, "Miss, what do you think?"

Princess Sophie looked left and right for a while, and after confirming her position and field of vision, she looked at Aigron again, as if asking him what he thought.

Aegron nodded slightly.

"Okay, let's go here." Princess Sophie immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's sign the contract now!" The manager was afraid that they would go back on his word, and immediately wanted to finalize the whole deal—meeting such a talkative and rich customer, he felt that he was really lucky tonight.

He quickly wrote the receipt and the corresponding contract, and handed it to the other party. "Miss, please sign. After signing, the transaction will be officially completed, and the right to use this place for the next year will belong to you."

Princess Sophie took the pen, quickly signed her name on it, and handed it back to the manager.

"Sophia Memmingen..." The manager silently read the name written on the contract.

He racked his brains and could not think of a wealthy family in Vienna with that surname.

Maybe it was a pseudonym, but it didn't matter, he didn't care.

"Well, Miss Memmingen, since the deal has been concluded, I won't bother you." The manager planned to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Princess Sophie stopped him.

Then, she pointed to Aigron who had not spoken all the time, "This is my brother Franz. He not only likes to watch the theater, but also has another special request. I hope you can satisfy him. I can pay for money." Responsible."

"Special request?" The manager froze for a moment, then seemed to understand something.

These days, those who go to the theater and say that they have special requirements must be actresses. It is extremely common for rich people to pursue actresses, but I didn't expect it to come from my sister.

He carefully looked at the boy opposite him.

To make it so mysterious, is it because you want your young master to learn how to eat meat?It's really enviable... Seeing that this kid is quite handsome, those goblins must be very happy.

Thinking of this, his smile suddenly became a little wretched, "It's okay, just ask the young master for anything, as long as the money is enough, some people will serve him..."

"Where did you go!" Seeing his smile, Princess Sophie understood, so she was angry and ashamed, "I mean, he not only wants to watch the play, but also wants to write the script himself, so I Hopefully you guys can help him with his script when the time comes."

The manager finally understood, he smiled wryly and shook his head. "I'm afraid your request is a bit embarrassing... not all scripts are suitable for being staged in theaters."

The theater is not a playground, and it is related to the jobs of so many people, so he dare not mess around.

"What's the problem? My younger brother is so talented. He writes scripts just for fun. You should feel lucky to get his scripts for free!" Princess Sophie looked at each other domineeringly, "Besides, theater There are many dramas that are booed by the audience after they are staged every year. Even in the worst case, it’s just one or two more. What’s the difference to you? At worst, I’ll just subsidize the tickets for you. What else do you have? unsatisfied!"

After being robbed by this young lady, the manager was stunned to find that he seemed to have nothing to refute.

Theaters are set up to make money, and it doesn't matter if it's a good show or a bad show, as long as it makes money, and if someone is willing to spend money to put on their own play, that's all right.

Of course, if the show is really bad, that's another matter, and the theater's brand may not be able to keep it.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to agree vaguely first, to see what level the young master's fantasies are. If it's just average, then it doesn't seem to be a problem to play with him.

"In this case, can I read the script? I can make a decision only after reading it." Finally, he whispered.

"I haven't finished the script yet, so don't worry, I need to familiarize myself with the environment first." Aigron replied, "Sir, thank you for your cooperation. I will do my best so that you won't regret it."

Compared to the strong young lady, this young master is much more polite. It seems that the tutor is really good.This was the manager's last thought after leaving the box.

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

After the manager left, the box fell into silence again.

Just at this time, the curtain of the stage opened slowly, and the actors began to perform, so Sophie and Aigron stood by the railing together, quietly watching the performance on the stage.

Because of the relatively long distance, the sound on the stage was somewhat distorted, giving it a more ethereal feeling, as if it was transmitted from another world.

In other words, the dark box now actively isolates itself from the world, becoming a small world of its own.

Compared with the drama on the stage, what Egron was thinking at this time was how to apologize at this opportunity so that Her Royal Highness can calm down and return to the normal way of getting along with the two of them.

However, just as he was about to apologize, Princess Sophie suddenly spoke in a muffled voice.

"Should you be satisfied now?"

"I...I am very satisfied, Your Highness." Aigron was a little surprised, but soon he calmed down, and then quickly thanked the other party, "Your kindness to me is more than I expected, just for I was delusional for a moment, you actually did so many things in such a busy schedule...Your Highness, I don't even know how to use words to describe my gratitude to you. "

"I'm not your Highness here anymore!" Her Royal Highness frowned.

"Sister Sophia! I will always be grateful to you." Aigron immediately corrected himself.

Seeing his apprehensive and sincere expression, Her Royal Highness finally relaxed her brows.

"Forget it, seeing you are so good, I accept your gratitude."

"You...you mean, forgive me for that impulsiveness...?" Eggron asked cautiously.

His question was like pressing a button, and the air froze in an instant. Her Royal Highness did not answer, but just looked at him quietly.

Oops, I should have known better not to mention that again.

Aigron secretly felt that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to say any more, so he could only wait silently for Her Royal Highness's reprimand.

However, the storm he dreaded did not come, followed by a sigh.

"When I was hugged by you that night and then..., I was really furious." Her Royal Highness blushed slightly, then blinked, and moved her eyes to the stage again, "But soon I will not give birth to you I'm angry, I thought about how you looked that day, and I was on the verge of a mental breakdown, and it's understandable that I lost my self-control for a while. Sigh... In the end, it's all her fault! How can a mother treat her child like this?! "

"Thank you for being so magnanimous." Aigron was overjoyed, and then he was a little puzzled, "But in the next few days, your performance didn't seem to be not angry."

"I just... I just don't know how to face you." Princess Sophie sighed again, "Aigron, when I first met you, you were only 13 years old, and you were only about this tall—"

While talking, she compared her neck, and then continued, "But now, you are taller than me... The passage of time is really ruthless, but I don't seem to notice it, and I still treat you As that shy and melancholy child, but you have become a vigorous young man, let me know at that moment that I can no longer treat you like I used to."

"People will always grow up." Aigron replied with some helplessness, "but no matter how the body changes, some parts of the mind can remain unchanged forever. Your Highness, I said that you are my only relative here, and I will never will change that view.”

"Really?" Princess Sophie turned her gaze back to the young man.

"It's absolutely true." Iger nodded solemnly. "I apologize again for my absurd behavior, please forgive me, please?"

Princess Sophie nodded slightly. "Okay, let's not pursue those past events anymore, let's go to the theater."

They looked at the stage again. The music and singing on the stage seemed to be accompaniment for two people at this moment.

The atmosphere in the box became calm and harmonious.

"That guy laughed so disgustingly just now. If I didn't want to hide my identity now, I would have asked someone to kick him out. I really don't understand how he would think of such a thing?!" After a while, Sophie The princess recalled what happened just now, and then frowned, seeming quite unhappy, then she squinted at Aigron, "Aigron, don't you really have the kind of thoughts he said?"

"Of course not." Aigron tightly held Her Royal Highness's right hand. "If I have you by my side, I'm already satisfied, so why bother to go to those who cater to me? Please believe me on this alone!"

Seeing his sincere expression, the corners of Her Royal Highness's mouth curled up a little, obviously quite satisfied.

Through the silk gloves, she could also feel the warmth of the young man's hands, which was a warm feeling.

At this moment, she saw the child who respected and depended on her again, and everything came back again.

Her Royal Highness probably forgot that children always grow up.　　

25, planning

Under Aigron's sincere apology, Princess Sophie finally forgave Aigron's previous absurd behavior, so the two put aside their past feuds, as if they had returned to the state of intimacy before.

After the relationship was restored, the mood of the two became more relaxed and happy, so they began to watch the play seriously.

After all, Princess Sophie is a Bavarian, so she is very fond of music and drama, so she explained for Eggron while watching the play.

However, she didn't seem to like the performances of this theater very much, and she was very disapproving of the details of the actors' acting skills and stage scenery-in her words, the level was very mediocre.

"Since the level here is very mediocre, why did you bring me here?" Aigron was a little puzzled.

"It is precisely because it is not a well-known theater that I will take you here, to those big theaters. What if someone who has seen me recognizes me?" Princess Sophie asked back. "Although I have not been married here, there are quite a few people who met me by the way when they came to the palace to meet His Majesty."

Aegron also made sense when he thought about it.

"Even if we come here, we can't take it lightly." Princess Sophie told Aigron carefully, "If there is any trouble, I don't care, but it will be very difficult to continue to bring you here."

"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble." Aigron nodded, and then looked at the stage again, "Being able to come here to watch the show is already an unexpected happiness for me. What more can I ask for more?"

The young man's seemingly rejoicing, but actually sentimental sigh once again touched the princess' heartstrings, and she couldn't help but fondle his forehead habitually.

"Aigron, don't be discouraged, one day I will become the one who says nothing here, and then you can do whatever you want. If anyone talks about you, I will make him unable to enter the court for the rest of his life. inside."

Aigron was deeply moved by Her Royal Highness's affectionate words.

The more moved, the more guilty he felt.

I'm sorry, Your Highness, I have no choice, I can't wait until that day to go...

While the two were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door of the box.

"Who?" Her Royal Highness withdrew her hand, and asked very displeased.

"Your Highness, it's me." A male voice came from the door. "Sorry to bother you."

Aigron easily recognized that it was the voice of his military and swordsmanship teacher, Captain Foresty, who was also the protector who went out.

Princess Sophie gestured for Chanel behind her to open the door.

When the door opened, the captain walked in quickly.

"What's the matter, sir?" Princess Sophie asked coldly.

"Sorry, Your Highness..." The captain had a strange expression on his face, "The secret police are checking us out."

"Huh?" Her Royal Highness frowned.

"Your actions just now attracted the attention of the secret police." The captain explained in a low voice, "Now,"

Since becoming prime minister, Prince Metternich has always believed that the people must be strictly and strictly controlled in order to be able to control the situation and prevent the French disaster from repeating itself in Austria.

In order to achieve this goal, he strictly controlled the press and established a secret police team. These secret police wore plain clothes and mingled in crowded places such as cafes and theaters in order to suppress the public's speech and eliminate any "dangerous ideas". "spread.

Such a high-handed rule naturally aroused resentment among the citizens of Vienna, but because of his great power, everyone could grit their teeth and endure it. Until 1848, the citizens of Vienna who rebelled angrily finally drove the prime minister out of office.

In the eyes of the secret police, Princess Sophie's behavior in the theater just now was very suspicious no matter how she looked at it, so she was about to come over to question her, but was stopped by the captain and others, and there was almost a conflict.

"How dare these ghosts come to interfere with my business?" After hearing the reason of the incident, Her Royal Highness was furious. "How I like to buy things is my freedom. Is it their turn to manage?"

Like you just now, it's no wonder that no one suspects you... The captain can only say this in his heart.

"Your Highness, what do you think should be done?" The captain asked cautiously, "Should we reveal our identity to them directly, or..."

"Take me there, I'll take care of it." Her Royal Highness interrupted him a little annoyed.

"But..." The captain hesitated for fear of causing trouble.

"Take me there!" Her Royal Highness gave him another order without giving him time to think.

So, the two of them walked out of the box.

The box became quiet again, leaving only Aigron and Chanel.

Aigron leaned against the railing, quietly watching the performance on the stage, his expression calm, and he knew that it was not time for trouble.

"Chanel." After a while, he spoke.

"Your Highness, do you have any orders?" Chanel asked.

"Chanel, I just observed that there are only stairs on both sides from the first floor to the third floor, and if you want to go downstairs from our box, you have to go through a corridor." Aegron turned his head and whispered to Chanel, "And my teacher, Captain Feresti, is sitting in that corridor. It is very difficult, almost impossible to pass in front of him without incident. And... there are other guards here, as well as the secret police, With so many people, it is definitely not something I can break through head-on."

This is the conclusion he has come to after thinking for a long time.
